During the 14th century, he travelled about 75, 000 miles in search of knowledge and for the love of travel. To share the le arning and research so highly valued by Islamic (伊斯兰教的) culture, the ruler of Morocco, Abu Inan Faris, wanted Ibn Battuta’s worldwide travels recorded and published when he r eturned home to Morocco after almost 30 years. Ibn Juzayy, a Secretary, was appointed to write down Ibn Battuta’s experie nces. His travel journal, The Rihla, documents this extraordin ary achievement. It gives us a first-hand account of life in the 14th-century Muslim world. The original book, handwritten in Arabi c, can be viewed today at the National Library in .The early 14th century was a favorable age for a Muslim trave ller. It was nearing the end of the Golden Age of Islam, one of the great explosions of scientific and cultural achievements in world history. Caravans and sea lanes created transportation and communication networks that spread across continents, i ncluding Europe, Africa and Asia. Towns and cities were regul arly visited by merchants, traders, doctors, artists, craftsmen, scholars and pilgrims (朝圣者) carrying goods and ideas. All of these promoted the excha nge of goods and ideas on a scale not seen previously in worl d history. As an educated man with professional legal skills, Ib n Battuta enjoyed kindness, companionship and offers of emp loyment throughout the Islamic world.Journey to Mecca describes the 5, 000-mile journey Ibn Battuta made in 1325 and 1326 from his hom etown Tangier, Morocco, to reach Mecca, in what is now the of , to make the pilgrimage. During this dangerous and aweso me 18-month pilgrimage, he met many hindrances as he was attacke d by robbers, troubled by thirst, and forced to go back to his r oute due to war along the Red Sea. Joining the legendary Da mascus Caravan with thousands of pilgrims leaving for Mecca , he completed the final section of what would be his first of six journeys to .The goal of the film, Journey to Mecca, was to tell the remark able story of Ibn Battuta and to promote a better understanding of Islam in the West, said the producers.4. We can conclude that Abu Inan Faris probably thought Ibn Battuta’s travel experiences ________.A. preciousB. questionableC. mysteriousD. ridiculous5. What can we learn about Ibn Battuta from the text?A. He wrote the travel journal, The Rihla, by himself.B. He travelled all the way with the legendary Damascus Cara van during his first journey.C. He was a very successful businessman.D. He had to overcome varieties of difficulties while traveling.6. The underlined word “hindrances” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “________”.A. tricksB. friendsC. barriersD. opportunities7. In which section of a newspaper can we possibly find this p assage?A. HistoryB. TravelC. EconomyD. EntertainmentCHow much weight a baby gains during its first month could determine its IQ, as a new research suggests. The study found t hat children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow qu ickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ wh en they start school.Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in ^ studied 13,800 children who were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth wei ght in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than tho se who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who expe rienced the biggest growth in head circumference (头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of six.“Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a gre ater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the led aut hor of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had high er IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言语) IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural (神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which mean s the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.”Previous studies have shown the association between early p ostnatal (产后的) diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr . Smithers says the study further highlights the need for succe ssful feeding of newly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty esta blishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies’life,” Dr . Smithers said.“The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having fe eding problems, there needs to be early intervention (干预) in the management of that feeding.”8. The study mainly shows that ________.A. head circumference is certainly connected to IQ.B. babies’ heads grow quickly during the first month.C. full-term babies tend to be cleverer than premature babies. (早产儿)D. the more weight newly-born babies gain, the higher IQ they are likely to have.9. How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study ?A. By asking questions.B. By making comparison.C. By having a discussion.D. By referring to documents.10. According to Dr. Lisa Smithers, we can learn that _______ _.A. a kid’s verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age six.B. this study helps parents find feeding problems.C. quick weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbal IQ.D. this study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding.二、完形填空（每题2分，共40分）When I was in my twenties, I travelled alone through the .

During the 14th century, he tr avelled about 75, 000 miles in search of knowledge and for the love of travel. To share the le arning and research so highly valued by Islamic (伊斯兰教的) culture, the ruler of Morocco, Abu Inan Faris, wanted Ibn Battuta’s worldwide travels reco rded and published when he returned home to Morocco after almost 30 years. Ibn Juzayy, a Secretary, was appointed to write down Ibn Battuta’s experiences. His travel journal, The Rih la, documents this extraordinary achievement. It gives us a first-hand account of life in the 14th-century Muslim world. The original book, handwritten in Arabic, can be viewed today at the N ational Library in .The early 14th century was a favorable age for a Muslim traveller. It was nearing the end of t he Golden Age of Islam, one of the great explosions of scientific and cultural achievements in world history. Caravans and sea lanes created transportation and communication networks t hat spread across continents, including Europe, Africa and Asia. Towns and cities were regul arly visited by merchants, traders, doctors, artists, craftsmen, scholars and pilgrims (朝圣者) carrying goods and ideas. All of these promoted the exchange of goods and ideas on a s cale not seen previously in world history. As an educated man with professional legal skills, I bn Battuta enjoyed kindness, companionship and offers of employment throughout the Islami c world.Journey to Mecca describes the 5, 000-mile journey Ibn Battuta made in 1325 and 1326 from his hometown Tangier, Morocco, to rea ch Mecca, in what is now the of , to make the pilgrimage. During this dangerous and aweso me 18-month pilgrimage, he met many hindrances as he was attacked by robbers, troubled by thirst , and forced to go back to his route due to war along the Red Sea. Joining the legendary Da mascus Caravan with thousands of pilgrims leaving for Mecca, he completed the final sectionof what would be his first of six journeys to .The goal of the film, Journey to Mecca, was to tell the remarkable story of Ibn Battuta and to promote a better understanding of Islam in the West, said the producers.4. We can conclude that Abu Inan Faris probably thought Ibn Battuta’s travel experiences __ ______.A. preciousB. questionableC. mysteriousD. ridiculous5. What can we learn about Ibn Battuta from the text?A. He wrote the travel journal, The Rihla, by himself.B. He travelled all the way with the legendary Damascus Caravan during his first journey.C. He was a very successful businessman.D. He had to overcome varieties of difficulties while traveling.6. The underlined word “hindrances” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “________”.A. tricksB. friendsC. barriersD. opportunities7. In which section of a newspaper can we possibly find this passage?A. HistoryB. TravelC. EconomyD. EntertainmentCHow much weight a baby gains during its first month could determine its IQ, as a new resear ch suggests. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow qu ickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school. Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in ^ studied 13,800 children who were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had a n IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who exper ienced the biggest growth in head circumference (头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of six.“Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumfer ence in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smith ers.She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言语) IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural (神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during t he first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.”Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (产后的) diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for succe ssful feeding of newly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the fir st week of their babies’life,” Dr. Smithers said.“The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention (干预) in the management of that feeding.”8. The study mainly shows that ________.A. head circumference is certainly connected to IQ.B. babies’ heads grow quickly during the first month.C. full-term babies tend to be cleverer than premature babies. (早产儿)D. the more weight newly-born babies gain, the higher IQ they are likely to have.9. How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study?A. By asking questions.B. By making comparison.C. By having a discussion.D. By referring to documents.10. According to Dr. Lisa Smithers, we can learn that ________.A. a kid’s verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age six.B. this study helps parents find feeding problems.C. quick weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbal IQ.D. this study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding.二、完形填空（每题2分，共40分）When I was in my twenties, I travelled alone through the .

But recent study fo und that when patients were asking to keep diaries of events that made them happy, it helpe d them a lot to get better.According to Dr. Klein, to make us more aware for the moments, we just need to sit down in t he evening and write down the moments where we feel happy.

2018-2019学年高二英语上学期周测试题二第一部分：阅读理解（共25小题；每小2分，满分50分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A ★First aid is emergency care for a victim with sudden illness or an injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. It m ay save a life or improve certain important signs including pul se, temperature,clear airway and breathing. In minor emergen cies, first aid may prevent a victim's condition from turning wor se and provide relief from pain. First aid must be done as quic kly as possible. In the case of the seriously injured, a few min utes can make a difference.First-aid measures depend upon a victim's needs and the provider' s level of knowledge and skill.Knowing what not to do in an e mergency is as important as knowing what to do.Improperly m oving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to per manent spinal(脊柱的 ) injury and paralysis (瘫痪) . Despite the variety of injuries , several principles of first aid ca n be applied to all emergencies. The first step is to call for expert medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassur ed that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permis sion to provide any first aid. Next, assess the accident scene by asking people around or the injured person's family or frien ds about details of the injury or illness, any care that may hav e already been given, and pre-existing conditions such as diabetes(糖尿病) or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for a medic al card that describes special conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to decide wheth er life-threatening conditions exist. One method for evaluating a victi m's condition is known as ABC, which stands for:A-Airway: Is it open and clear?B-B-Breathing: Is the person breathing? Look,listen, and feel for br eathing.C-Circulation: Is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding? Check s kin color and temperature for additional indications of circulati on problems.1.First aid may bring about all the following results EXCEPT__ ______A.saving a victim's lifeB.preventing a victim's condition from getting worseC.relieving a victim from painD.helping a person avoid sudden illness or injury2.In giving first aid to a victim, you should first of all______A.remove his/her from the accident sceneB.turn him/her overC.call for professional medical helpD.examine him/her carefully3.You may assess a victim's condition by all the following EX CEPT_________A.checking whether there is a pulseB.looking, listening and feeling for breathingC.measuring his/her blood pressureD.examining whether the airway is open and clearB ★Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a little girl, so my grandmother would stay atour house during the day. We would watch game shows in th e living room. Our favorite show was The Price is Right. We w ould call out our answers along with the contestants.When I got older and started going to school, we couldn’t wat ch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me, though because one thing I liked better than watching game shows wi th my grandmother was helping her bake(供烤）cakes. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never s eemed to need the recipes but everything she madetasted delicious.At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch, even though I didn’t understand what she was doing, As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. Th e day she let me separate the eggs, I felt like I had found com plete pleasure.Later my parents decided that I could take care of myself, and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more ofte n they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whe never I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandmother for a dvice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk, too. I felt like I c ould talk to her about anything.My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies, and my fav orite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I co uld hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just a bout baking, but about life.The passage is mainly developed by_ .A. analyzing causesB. making comparisonsC. examining differencesD. following the time order5. While helping her grandmother bake, the author_.A. turned out to be a troublemakerB. found it interesting and appealingC. hoped to make a living by bakingD. regretted missing the game shows6.

To remember her grandmother.B. To show her good baking skills.C. To talk about her happy family life.D. To describe her childhood memories.C ★Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belo ng to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website Book turns t he page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. Book Crossing provides an identification n umber to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, trav eling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Peterson, the managing director of Book Crossing, say s, “The two things that change your life are the people you me et and books you read. Book Crossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train st ations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to th e site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry descri bing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the Book Crossing to keep them update d about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson s ays the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book t o gather dust on a shelf at home.Book Crossing is part of a trend among people who want to g et back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.8. Why does the author mention book groups in the first parag raph?A. To explain what they are.B.To introduce Book Crossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book.B.An adventure.C.A public place.D. The identification number.10. What will a Book Crosser do with a book after reading it?A.

Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksD ★Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your tast e that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? M aybe she responded with a polite " thank you," but you knew y ou had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wro ng? And what personal qualities do your choices reflect? Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy －the ability to put yourself into someone else' s shoes. We're al l able to do this; in fact, we're born with a kind of natural empa thy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强) by our parents, teachers, friends and so on. When it isn't, we're not able to understand other people's feelings . This can be shown in the gifts we select, and so can many other emoti onal qualities.Think back to the presents you've given over the past year , the time and effort you put into your selection, the money yo u spent, your thoughts while you were shopping,and your feeli ngs when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. Of course, you m ay express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.We live in a society where exchanging presents is an imp ortant part of communication. Ignoring the tradition won't mak e it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your frien ds ahead of time.12. The underlined expression "you had missed the mark"me ans "you had failed to _____".A. make her feel betterB. keep your friendshipC. receive a present in returnD. get the expected effect13. Which of the following is the main ideas of the second par agraph?A. Natural empathy needs to be reinforced.B. Emotional changes influence one's choice of gifts.C. Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with.D. Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers.14. In the third paragraph, the author tells us that _____.A. attention should be paid to the receiver's responsesB. one learns from what he did in the pastC. the choice of gifts reflects one's emotional qualitiesD. one should spend more time choosing gifts15. The best possible title for this passage is"_____".A. Ways of Choosing GiftsB. An Important TraditionC. Exchanging PresentsD. Message in a GiftE★In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still re main unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this ar ea are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should l ive by the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus makin g them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent fi ve months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, wit h half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayen ne.“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have bee n allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don’t se e it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom .”“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touchin g upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific w orlds more clearly.”His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictu res show people seemingly pushed into a world that they wer e unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance th eir traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the mo dern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessarystate welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.16.Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous p eople in French Guiana?A. They seldom follow the French law.B. They often ignore the Guianese law.C. They are separated from the modern world.D. They are both Guianese and French citizens.17..Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guiane se as _________.A. a tour guideB. a geographerC. a film directorD. a photographer18.What is Gin’s attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?A. Cautious.B. Doubtful.C. Uninterested.D. Appreciative.19.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph re fer to?A. The modern French lifestyle.B. The self-supporting hunting.C. The uncivilized hunting.D. The French Republic.20.What is the indigenous people’s attitude towards the modern French lifestyle?A. indifferentB.admirableC. complexD.curiousF★Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wa ke-up lies in resting your body clock . 21 Here is how to make one.● 22 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it 's important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepar ed for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell yo ur family or roommates about the change you want to make.● Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have bre akfast with your family, save some time the night before by se tting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 23 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.● Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wo nderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds int o your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 24●Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your eff orts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new me thod for a week, take a look at your record. 25 If not, take a nother look at other methods you could try.A. Get a sleep specialist.B. Find the right motivation.C. A better plan for sleep can help.D. And consider setting a second alarm.E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up.F.

In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn't have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed out. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn't, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could—he huddled(蜷缩)in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn't find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls' survival show Man vs. Wild. That's where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.21．What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A．He got lost. B．He broke his skis. C．He hurt his eyes. D．He caught a cold.22．How did Nicholas keep himself warm?A．He found a shelter. B．He lighted some branches.C．He kept on skiing. D．He built a snow cave.23．On Tuesday, Nicholas________.A．returned to his shelter safely B．was saved by a searcherC．got stuck in the snow D．stayed where he was24．Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he ________.A．did the right things in the dangerous situationB．watched Grylls' TV program regularlyC．created some tips for survival D．was very hard­working.(七选五每题3分，共15分)How to Relieve Exam StressExam time is here and you are under stress.You're stuck indoors hitting the books，writing papers，preparing projects.With exams to come，you will sure feel stressed.Faced with something stressful，your body reacts.____25Yes You Can!Believe in yourself that you can pass the exam.Don't focus on how bad it will be for you if you perform poorly.Instead，focus on how good it will be when you do well.26___Don't get into a panic though.Just close your eyes and take long slow breaths.Doing so will calm your nerves and help you get back your focus.27___Research has shown that cramming(临时抱佛脚) at the last minute for exams is not efficient.It only adds more stress to your body and mind by lack of sleep and poor nutrition.Review your notes and read your books.You may have already mastered all the knowledge you need.So try to get a good night's sleep.A rested body and a sharp mind will put you in a good state.Maintain a Normal LifeOne of the best ways you can relieve the stress of exams is to maintain a normal life.After studying you should reward yourself._28____It will do wonders to relieve your stress，but be sure to get back in time and get a good night's sleep.29___Food is energy for the brain，so be sure to eat well.Try brain foods such as bananas，other fruits and foods high in carbon.Exercise is also a great way to relieve stress.Playing basketball with friends or working out at the gym will help reduce stress.Research has also shown that it requires sleep to memorize what you learn.If you cram all night and get little sleep，you are not likely to remember much because your brain has not had the sleep you need to file away(归档) the knowledge.Having your body rested and your mind alert for an exam will put you in the best position to do well.A．Don't Work Too Hard.

Every April I am troubled by the same concern ﹣﹣ that spring might not occur this year． The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing gray． My spiritsebb, as they did during an April snowfall when I first came to Maine 15 years ago． "Just wait, " a neighbor advised． "You'll wake up one morning and spring will just be here．"And look, on May 3 that year I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of flipping a switch． Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green． Leaves had unfolded and daffodils were fighting their way heavenward．Then there was the old apple tree． It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood． It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone． The tree's dark twisted branches stretch out in unpruned（未经修剪的） abandon． Each spring it blossoms so freely that the air becomes filled with the scent of apple．Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree． And then one day, in a bit ofspring madness, I set out with pruner to remove a few disorderly branches． No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped onto their porches（门廊）． These were people I barely knew and seldom spoke to, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens．My mobile﹣home neighbor was the first to speak． "You're not cutting it down, are you? " she asked anxiously． Another neighbor frowned as I cut off a branch． "Don't kill it, now, " he warned． Soon half the neighborhood had joined me under the apple tree． It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people's names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter． It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder． I couldn't help recalling Robert Frost's words:The trees that have it in their pent﹣up budsTo darken nature and be summer woodsOne thaw led to another． Just the other day I saw one of my neighbors at the local store． He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighborhood． And then, he looked at me and said, "We need to prune that apple tree again．"（1）By saying that "my spirits ebb" （Para． 1）， the author means that________．A he feels relievedB he feels blueC he is surprisedD he is tired．（2）The apple tree mentioned in the passage is most likely to________．A be regarded as a delight in the neighborhoodB have been abandoned by its original ownerC have been neglected by everyone in the communityD be appealing only to the author．（3）According to Para． 4， why did the neighbors open their windows and step onto their porches？________A They were surprised that someone unknown was pruning the tree．B They wanted to prevent the author from pruning the treeC They were concerned about the safety of the treeD They wanted to get to know the author．（4）It can be inferred that the author's neighbor mentioned in the last paragraph mostcared about________．A when spring would arriveB how to pass the long winterC the neighborhood gatheringD the pruning of the apple tree．6. University Shotokan Karate ClubLearn Karate﹣self﹣defense and fitnessThe university karate club was founded in 1962． All grades from beginners to advanced are welcome． The classes are suitable for both men and women and several women have obtained their black belt．TUESAY AND THURSDAY6: 00﹣8: 00 p．mWEAVER HOUSE GYMFIRST LESSON FREEHardly any of us have experienced real violence, but, over the last five years, attacks on innocent people have increased． Each of us has some ability to defend ourselves , and by learning a form of self﹣defense, we are not only increasing that ability, but also doing something to build our own sense of respect． Karate will show you a lot of simple and effective techniques to protect yourself, giving you increase self﹣confidence．Far too many people think martial art（武术） are about violence． Martial arts training is based on a lot of respect, self﹣discipline, self﹣control and non﹣violence, we learn basic etiquette courtesy and tolerance． Good manners and consideration for others are expected at all times．Karate is the practice of blocking and striking techniques for the purpose of self﹣defense, health and self﹣development． Karate exercise the entire body． Techniques are practices on both sides of the body, therefore muscles imbalances do not occur and the strength , co﹣ordination, flexibility and agility of both sides of the body are improved． Regular training in Karate improves the body's physical endurance and flexibility． It also helps concentration and produces the mental calm and assurance that come from knowing we can defend ourselves．Karate has many benefits but they do not come easily or overnight． Training requires ongoing commitment and hard work． Some of you will give up, but a few of you will get your black belt．（1）The passage is mainly intended to________．A ell readers the benefits of KarateB attract readers to join the clubC encourage people to get their black belt．D correct people's misunderstand of Karate．．（2）What can be learned about University Shotokan Karate Club？________A More men than women have been its membersB It tests members to see what level they are at．C Members don't need to pay for the lessons．D It offers 4 hours of lessons every week．．（3）According to the passage， which of the following statements about Karate is true？________A It cultivates people's respect for themselves as well as for others．B It involvespeople's arm muscles more than body muscle． C It makes people healthy physically instead of mentally D It focuses as much on self﹣defense as on attack．7. Speaking in ClicksClick sounds, such as those found in some languages in Africa, make perfectly good consonants． So why do they appear so rarely in most human speech? ________ may be anatomy（骨骼）．Previous studies have suggested that in some speakers of click languages, the alveolar ridge（齿龈） the rounded bump between the upper teeth and the roof of the mouth﹣is small or even absent． In recent research, Scott Moisik of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and Dan Dediu of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, built biomechanical models that simulated clicks in vocal tracts （声道） with alveolar ridges of varying sizes． Their results, published in January in the Journal of Language Evolution, showed a clear disadvantage for tractswith large edges． These allowed less air to be trapped in the mouth, requiring more muscular force to produce a click．The authors interpret this finding as support for an anatomical bias against clicks． They believe the bias is probably weak at the individual level; people with large alveolar ridges can still learn click consonants or that their pronunciations may be wrong． Amplified over generations, this bias might explain why such consonants are so rarely found in language worldwide．These results are not the first to challenge the traditional premise among linguists that language evolution is largely immune to external factors． Several other researchers have recently argued that geographical context, environmental conditions and genetics could all play a role． But Moisik and Dediu's work goes a step further by singling out a single feature of human anatomy and quantifying its contribution to a particular type of speech sound．Susanne Fuchs, senior researcher at the Leibniz Center of General Linguistics inBerlin, who was not involved in the work, says the study's conclusions are valid． But she cautions that they may present a chicken﹣and﹣egg problem: "The palate（味蕾） shape of an individual matures from early childhood to puberty and , may be affected by frequent productions of clicks, " Fuchs says, "Therefore, over the course of history, it may well be that vocal tract properties and click productions developed in parallel．（1）The underlined word "one culprit" in Paragraph 1 means________．A something that must cause sufferingB something that may be thecause C something that could be concluded D something that never happened before．．（2）According to the findings by Moisik and Dediu， who can make click sounds easily？________A People with a small or absent alveolar ridge．B People with strong muscles inside the mouthC People with a normal alveolar rid．D People with a large alveolar ridge．．（3）Which of the following statements is true？________A People with large alveolar ridges cannot learn click language．B Having less airtrapped in the mouth makes it easier to produce a click． C Both Moisik and Dediu believe that language evolution is largely independent of external factors． D Language evolution may be subject to geographical context， environmental conditions and genetics．．（4）What is Susanne Fuchs most likely to agreewith？________A The conclusions of the study by Moisik and Dediu are unreliable．B Vocal tract properties and click productions might evolve at the same time．C Frequent productions of clicks decide the palate shape of an individual．D The palate shape of an individual decides whether one can produce click sounds．8. Visit the grocery store on an empty stomach, and you will probably come home with a few things you had not planned to buy． But hunger is not the only ________ behind such purchases． The location of store displays also influences our shopping and may make or break some healthy eating habits．The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food． Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks﹣and a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier options can shift customer behavior． A 2012 study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk foodfor healthy snacks when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves, for example, In 2014 Norwegain and Icelandic researcher likewise found that replacing unhealthy items with healthy ones in the checkout area significantly increased last﹣minutes sales of healthier foods．These findings caught the attention of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which has been working with more than 1, 000 store owners to encourage them to stock and promote consumption, " says Tamar Adjoian, a research scientist at the department． "Making healthy food more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products．"Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city's dense urban checkout areas, so they recruited three Bronx supermarkets for their ownstudy． They gave one checkout line in each store a healthy makeover, replacingcandy, cookies and other processed snacks with fruit , nuts and similar items containing 200 or fewer calories per serving． Then they recorded purchases over six three﹣hour periodsin each store for two weeks．Of the more than 2, 100 shoppers they observed, just 4 precent bought anything from the checkout area． Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious items more than twice as often as those in the standard lines ﹣and they bought unhealthy items 40 percent less often． The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior．The potential impact may seem small, but Adjoian believes that converting more checkout lines would open customers' eyes to nutritious, lower﹣calories foods． Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy options at checkout areas throughoutNew York City．（1）The word "culprit" in Para． 1 is closest in meaning to________in the passage．A something to blameB something related to cultureC something thatresults D something concealed．（2）The findings of the 2012 study and the 2014 study proved that________．A shops put great emphasis on increase in last﹣minute sales of food．B healthier options were rarely seen in company canteens or in supermarket．C customers' shopping behavior could be changed by what is easily available．D sugary and salty snacks were among the most common items in checkout areas．．（3）Why does the writer say " the potential impact may seem small" in the last paragraph？________A Only a little attention has been drawn to Adjoian's researchB Only several healthy items are displayed and then purchased．C Only three Bronx supermarkets have been involved in the study．D Only a small proportion of shoppers buy things from checkout areas．．（4）Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？________A Behavior that MattersB Healthy See， Healthy DoC Changing CheckoutAreas D Shoppers and Their Needs．SectionC9.

Summary Writing20. Summary WritingBlowing a Few TopsEver stopped to consider the upside of volcanic eruptions？ It's not all deaths， destruction and hot lava﹣﹣﹣scientists have a plan to cool the planet by simulating one． It would probably work， but it could have devastating consequence， and there is nothing to stop any country or company from deploying the technology．Solar geo﹣engineering（气候工程） involves simulating an erupting volcano by spraying aerosols（气溶胶） into the atmosphere． When they combine with oxygen， droplets of acid form． These droplets reflect sunlight away from Earth， cooling the planet． All goodin theory， but the consequences are largely unknown and a few could be disastrous． In astudy recently published， researchers led by Anthony Jones， a climate scientist from the University of Exeter， found that using this technology in the Northern hemisphere could reduce the number of tropical cyclones hitting the U．S． and Caribbean． But there's a worrying problem： more cyclones in the Southern hemisphere and a drought across the Sahel region of Africa． That's because the entries climate system is linked﹣﹣﹣ disrupting one region will invariably affect another． How would a nation react if another was causing its weather to get much worse？ Would that be an act of war？There is， however， a case for using solar geo﹣engineering on a global case． Jones says it could be used to "take the edge of "the temperature increases scientists are predicting． It could be used while the world searches for more effective strategies．The study also highlights a far bigger problem with solar geo﹣engineering： its complete lack of regulation． "There is nothing that could stop one country just doing it，" Jones says． "It's deeply disturbing that we have this technology that could have such a massive influence in the climate， yet there's just no regulation to stop countries or even organizations from doing it．"Jones cautions that there is much about the climate system we do not understand， as well as more work that will need to be done before solar geo﹣engineering is deemed safe﹣or too dangerous to even discuss．2018-2019学年上海某校高二（下）摸底英语试卷答案1. a,that,were invited,but,Though,who,try,are intended,another,to convey2. if,Staring,lowest,thrown,As,that,at,to have paid,should,makes3.

Perhaps you wri te your letters too small. Check on spacing of letters and word s, and proper formation of letters. If your letters are small, put more effort into writing larger letters. If certain letters trip you up, practice those letters separately and within words.Write CorrectlyPositioning and technique play a role in how your handwritin g looks. Hold the pen between your thumb and first two finger s so that it rests against your fingers. Hold it firmly enough to control the tip but not so hard that it hurts your fingers. Li ghter pressure on the paper helps you create smooth lines and focus on your letter formation. 28___29Letters are formed from several basic strokes(笔划). Practice those strokes separately to get your hand used t o forming them. Strokes found in letters include vertical lines, horizontal lines, and circles. Build on those to practice specific letters.Write for a PurposeTeach young children handwriting in meaningful contexts. U se that same idea by picking up a pen to write lists and notes by hand instead of typing. Keep a journal daily with slow, corr ect strokes. 30 These true and sincere writing opportunities make the practice meaningful.A. Build on Basics.B. Practice makes perfectC.

Perhaps you write your letters too small. Check on spacing of letters and words , and proper formation of letters. If your letters are small, put more effort into writing larger lett ers. If certain letters trip you up, practice those letters separately and within words.Write CorrectlyPositioning and technique play a role in how your handwriting looks. Hold the pen between your thumb and first two fingers so that it rests against your fingers. Hold it firmly enough to c ontrol the tip but not so hard that it hurts your fingers. Lighter pressure on the paper helps you create smooth lines and focus on your letter formation . 28___29Letters are formed from several basic strokes(笔划). Practice those strokes separately to get your hand used to forming them. Strokes found i n letters include vertical lines, horizontal lines, and circles. Build on those to practice specific letters.Write for a PurposeTeach young children handwriting in meaningful contexts. Use that same idea by picking u p a pen to write lists and notes by hand instead of typing.

If you think about the countless number of animal species on our planet, the giraffe is perhaps one of the most interesting． With its unusual pattern and incredibly long neck, it looks like no other animal on Earth． But how did this mammal come to get its famously huge neck? Well, scientists have been asking themselves this question for centuries．The most commonly believed answer is that the massive neck﹣which measures on average 180 centimeters and weighs about 270 kilograms﹣evolved to allow the animal to reach the leaves of tall trees． British scientist CharlesDarwin was one of the first people to propose this idea in the 1800s．"The giraffe…has itswhole frame beautifully adapted for browsing on the higher branches of trees, "he wrote in his famous 1859 book On the Origin of Species． It was Darwin's belief that the giraffe once had a much shorter neck, but over time, evolution led to longer﹣necked giraffes being born, which in turn survived as they were able to reach the food that otherscouldn't． Yet, there are other theories． According to a paper published in September in the Journal of Arid Environments, the giraffe's neck evolved to increase its surface﹣area﹣to﹣volume ratio． Because the animal's neck increases its body's surface area, it makes it easier for it to keep cool, the paper's authors wrote． This phenomenon can be seen everywhere in nature, and even in engineering．For example, this is why elephants have such large ears, and why radiators（暖气片）in homes are flat and thin, as a large surface area allows heat to escape quicker．Meanwhile, some believe that competition is the answer． A 1996 study by two South African zoologists argued that the male giraffes with the biggest necks are the ones who"win"access to females to reproduce, as they arebetter at fighting, meaning that their long necks are passed down through the generations． So, it seems like there's still no definite answer to the question． But until we find the truth, we should at least enjoy this beautiful and interesting creature for what it is today, rather than wonder about where it came from．（1）What idea did Charles Darwin put forward in his book？________A Giraffe's necks are 180 cm long and weigh 270 kg on average．B Giraffes with a long neck are better at fighting．C Giraffes are a species that is born with a longneck． D Longer﹣necked giraffes are able to survive better．．（2）What is the article mainly about？________A Charles Darwin's theory of evolution．B Different functions of the giraffe's long neck．C How the giraffe manages to survive in nature．D Theories about why the giraffe has a huge neck．39. This month, Germany's transport minister, Alexander Dobrindt, proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles． They would define the driver's role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost．The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the "death valley" of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi﹣autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future．Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses property damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race; and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel ﹣ to check email, say ﹣ the car's maker is responsible if there is a crash．"The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving, " says Dobrindt． It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers, he says．Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among carmakers, consumers and lawyers． "The liability issue is the biggest one of them all, " says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds, UK．An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introduced earlier thisyear, insists that a human "be watchful and monitoring the road" at every moment．But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars． "When you say ‘driverless cars', people expect driverless cars．" Merat says． "You know ﹣ no driver．"Because of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation．Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own, says Ryan Calo at Stanford University, California． That is happening in the UK and Singapore, where government﹣provided driverless vehicles are being launched．That would go down poorly in the US, however． "The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here, " says Calo．（1）What does the phrase "death valley" in Paragraph 2 refer to？________A A place where cars often break down．B A case where passing a law is impossible．C An area where no driving is permitted．D A situation where drivers' role is not clear．．（2）The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to________．A stop people from breaking traffic rulesB help promote fully automaticdriving C protect drivers of all ages and races D prevent serious property damage．（3）What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars？________A It should get the attention of insurance companies．B It should be the main concern of law makers．C It should not cause deadly traffic accidents．D It should involve no human responsibility．．（4）What could be the best title for the passage？________A Autonomous Driving： Whose Liability？B Fully Automatic Cars： A New BreakthroughC Autonomous Vehicles： Driver Removed!D Driverless Cars： Root of Road Accidents．Section CDirections：Read the following passage.

课下能力提升(一)阅读理解ANot everyone can become a professional basketball or football player. Not everyone, especially youth living in the city, has access to large green fields. But kids still want to compete. So all over America, young people started skateboarding and bicycling. This is where the Extreme Games, or X-Games, started.The X-Games are beautiful to watch. They simply defy gravity. Riders fly down ramps on skateboards and do crazy tricks in the air. The X-Games have become so popular that BMX cycling is the newest sport in the Olympics. You will see competitors descend a 25-foot (8 meters) ramp, the highest in the world, as they race through a wild obstacle course.But the X-Games are more than sports. They have become a culture. Fans of the X-Games have rejected the mainstream. They wear certain clothes, listen to different music and live life to the fullest.It is not unusual to see young people riding a skateboard or showing off their cycling tricks in a park. Extreme sports arrived in China in the late 1990s. The Chinese Extreme Sports Association was established in 2004.Shanghai will hold the Asian X-Games at the end of April. Check them out and maybe you'll find a new sport you love.语篇解读：本文主要介绍了极限运动的相关情况。
