阜蒙县第二高中2017~2018学年度第二学期高一期中考试英语试卷时间：100分钟分数：120分第一部分：阅读理解（共两节；第一节：共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）AOn the first day of my new high school, I almost had a nervous breakdown. Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You're nervous and that's okay. Everyone is afraid of high school.” I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle(迷宫) that I couldn't figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be?I didn't think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it! The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably right.Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.Since then, I've been elected vice monitor of my class, which wasn't much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions.It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some outofclass activities because you'll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn't straight A's.Most important of all, be who you are, whether you're a “fool”， an athlete, or a lower grader. Don't try to pretend to be someone you're not. Now you know the true secrets of high school.1. The main reason for the author's fear on his first day is that ________.A．he was not familiar with the new surroundingsB．his schoolmates were unfriendly to himC．he was unable to work out the puzzleD．his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry2. From the author's first day experience we can infer that ________.A．he didn't know the right way to classB．he got to school before classes beganC．he was fond of the school immediately.D．his home was far from the school3. After his first week at school, the author ________.A．was still not accustomed to the scheduleB．gradually adjusted himself to the new schoolC．found high school not so challenging as he had imaginedD．ran for monitor of his class against three other students4. According to the passage, the secret of the author's success lies mainly in________.A．making more friends B．getting more A's at schoolC．being who he really is D．joining in out of class activitiesBEvery day we go to school and listen to teachers, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends --- you are in a situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease in ordinary conversation but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.5. When you speak to the class, you should speak __________.A．as loudly as possible B．loudly C．in a lowvoice D．forcefully6. The situation in the class is _________ that in your house.A．not very different from B．not the same asC．the same as D．sometimes the same as7. The main idea of this passage is __________.A．that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB．that we must speak loudlyC．that we must keep silent at any time D．that we must talk with the classCLong bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.”Drink Good Wet Root Beer.”Fill up with Pacific Gas.”Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （鲁莽的） or daring, the ride can be as thrilling （惊心动魄的） as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.8. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A. Advertisements on the billboards.B. Films on television.C. Buses on the road.D. Gas stations.9. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.C. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.D. To describe the billboards along the road.10. The writer of this passage would probably favor .A. bus drivers who aren’t recklessB. driving aloneC. a television set on the busD. no billboards along the road11. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because .A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are funB. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in betweenC. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on busesD. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.12. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are.A. comfortableB. excitingC. tiringD. boringDTokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to go. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that, it is different when one wants to walk.At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them. The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and every-body wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty(空的).During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time.In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.13. Tokyo is different from London in that ______.A. it has a larger populationB. there are more traffic jamsC. night clubs are sometimes emptyD. it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot14. Fires break out___________ in Tokyo according to the writer.A. not very oftenB. only several times a dayC. quite oftenD. very seldom15. Japanese trains ______A. often leave and arrive on timeB. are often crowdedC. are the main means people use to travel to and from workD. all of the above第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Everyone wants to achieve happiness and smile．16 How can you find real happiness and smile? By getting rich? In case you are scratching your head，looking for some reasons or ideas to be happy, here are a few．Throw an impromptu(即兴的) party. 17 An impromptu one increases the joy to a new level. And of course making other people happy is bound to have the same effect on you.Treat yourself. Sometimes all it takes to make one happy is a little ind ulgence(放纵). So, go ahead and grab a cup of coffee and sit inside a blanket with a good book! You will be surprised at how happy it makes you．18 Happiness can be transformed! When we feel happy and excited, it can lift the spirits of others. Your simple gesture can transform a person’s day and get him or her prepared to take on any challenge.Have a conversation with a parent. If you are like most kids, you possibly spend more time texting or surfing the Internet than talking to your family. 19 You will be surprised at the feeling of joy that it brings to you.Finally, don’t forget to be happy every day! While International Day of Happiness may come about only once a year, happiness is around you all day and night. 20A. You just have to seek it out and grab it．B. But life is hard，so it is very difficult to find real happiness and smile．C. Most of your family members show no interest in texting or the Internet．D. Set aside your mobile phone for a few minutes and have a chat with a family member.E. Be friendly to others and smile at a stranger．F. Nothing makes people happier than being invited to a party.G. You should try to celebrate the Day of Happiness every day and everywhere．第二部分英语知识运用第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）“Mum, can I invite my classmate Brett over to stay tomorrow night, please?

The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends.Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names and ages. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their heart into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that computers and the Internet could not do all the things.5.

The volunteers' primary responsibility is to help people with learning disabilities ______.A. to get some financial supportB. to properly protect themselvesC. to learn some new living skillsD. to realize their own importanceDEnglish is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants(移民) coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language, which have kept their original pronunciation. “Coolie” and “kowtow” were taken from the Chinese language, “kamikaze from the Japanese, “shampoo” from India, “blitz” from German, “amigo” and “Los Angeles” from Spanish and so on.Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. In our Oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers. For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyone’s job to enforce the English-Only rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we want to accustom (使习惯于) your ears to hearing English.Other subjects may be learned solely from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT! Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. Enjoy your classes.12. The first paragraph is mainly about________.A. the difficulty of learning English.B. how interesting and various English isC. different words in different languagesD. the i mmigrants’ contributions to America13.

The article is probably aimed at________.A. Japanese studentsB. German studentsC. Chinese studentsD. Indian studentsE“Three Apples” changed the world. The first one seduced(诱惑)Eve.

And that is as it should be，because Death is even likely the single best invention of life. It is life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

Usually she demanded that I sit at the table for dinner, go to bed at nine, and regularly clean my room. And I usually resisted(抗拒) doing what my mom wanted me to do. I was so eager for my independence that I built walls about a mile high in every direction.Something in college, when distance gave me the space the walls had meant to create, I began to take them down brick by brick. Throughout my twenties, we were moving toward each other from opposite direction. Actually I was the slow one and my mom was waiting patiently, as she always had, for something to change.And then, something did change. My dad died. U ntil that happened, I couldn’t imagine anything worse. Besides all the other ways I’d miss him, what would it be like at home? What would my mom and I do? What would we have and the same kind of food. My dad had often complained about those things. We also both enjoyed traveling, so we took trips together. Together, we also thought of ways of doing with a lot of my dad’s things. He kept everything. She and I, on the other hand, love to live light.Suddenly I found that I am so much like my mom.

2017年11月高考真题浙江卷英语试卷-学生用卷一、阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2.5分，共25分）1、【来源】 2017年11月高考真题浙江卷（A篇）第21~24题10分When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She'd watch me coming down her street, and by the time I'd biked up to her doorstep, there'd be a cold drink waiting. I'd sit and drink while she talked.Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, "Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning." she'd say. The first time she said that, soda （汽水） went up my nose.I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she'd TAL#NBSP work it out of her system. So that's what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery （墓地） .I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn't see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser （募捐活动） . She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she'd had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I'm doing. When I don't say "fine, " she sticks around to hear my problems. She's lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn't so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you're doing because they care, and not because they're getting paid to do so. Sometimes it's good to just smile, nod your head and listen.(1) Why did soda go up the author's nose one time?A. He was talking fast.B. He was shocked.C. He was in a hurry.D. He was absent-minded.(2) Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to Paragraph 3?A. He enjoyed the drink.B. He wanted to be helpful.C. He took the chance to rest.D. He tried to please his dad.(3) Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "work it out of her system"?A. recover from her sadnessB. move out of the neighborhoodC. turn to her old friendsD. speak out about her past(4) What does the author think people in a community should do?A. Open up to others.B. Depend on each other.C. Pay for others' help.D. Care about one another.2、【来源】 2017年11月高考真题浙江卷（B篇）第25~27题7.5分It's surprising how much simple movements of the body can affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights（领悟）.So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear? We're all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive （认知的） performance or is it just a feeling?Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people's powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail.What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who weren't. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test（one way of measuring attention）. The researchers call the effect "enclothed cognition" suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different ways.This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef's hat make the resultant food taste better?From now on I will only be editing articles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help keep the typing error count low. Hopefully you will be doing your part by reading PsyBlog in a cap and gown（学位服）.(1) What is the main idea of the text?A. Body movements change the way people think.B. How people dress has an influence on their feelings.C. What people wear can affect their cognitive performance.D. People doing different jobs should wear different clothes.(2) Adam and Galinsky's experiment tested the effect of clothes on theirwearers'.A. insightsB. movementsC. attentionD. appearance(3) How does the author sound in the last paragraph?A. AcademicB. HumorousC. FormalD. Hopeful3、【来源】 2017年11月高考真题浙江卷（C篇）第28~30题7.5分There are energy savings to be made from all recyclable materials, sometimes huge savings. Recycling plastics and aluminum, for instance, uses only 5% to 10% as much energy as producing new plastic or smelting （提炼）aluminum.Long before most of us even noticed what we now call "the environment, " Buckminster Fuller said, "Pollution is nothing but the resources（资源）we are not harvesting. We allow them to be left around because we've been ignorant of their value." To take one example, let's compare the throwaway economy （经济）with a recycling economy as we feed a cat for life.Say your cat weighs 5kg and eats one can of food each day. Each empty can of its food weighs 40g. In a throwaway economy, you would throw away 5, 475 cans over the cat's 15-year lifetime. That's 219kg of steel—more than a fifth of a ton and more than 40 times the cat's weight.In a recycling economy, we would make one set of 100 cans to start with, then replace them over and over again with recycled cans. Since almost 3% of the metal is lost during reprocessing, we'd have to make an extra 10 cans each year. But in all, only 150 cans will be used up over the cat's lifetime—and we'll still have 100 left over for the next cat.Instead of using up 219kg of steel, we've used only 6kg. And because the process of recycling steel is less polluting than making new steel, we've also achieved the following significant savings: in energy use—47% to 74%; in air pollution—85%; in water pollution—35%; in water use—40%.(1) What does Buckminster Fuller say about pollution?A. It is becoming more seriousB. It destroys the environmentC. It benefits the economyD. It is the resources yet to be used(2) How many cans will be used up in a cat's 15-year lifetime in a recycling economy?A. 50.B. 100.C. 150.D. 250.(3) What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To promote the idea of recycling.B. To introduce an environmentalist.C. To discuss the causes of pollution.D. To defend the throwaway economy.二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）4、【来源】 2017年11月高考真题浙江卷第31~35题10分(每题2分)2017~2018学年12月湖北荆州公安县车胤中学高三上学期月考第36~40题10分(每题2分)How to Remember What You Read Reading is important. But the next step is making sure that you remember what you'veread!1You may have just read the text, but the ideas concepts and images （形象） may fly right out of your head. Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read.2If the plot, characters, or word usage is confusing for you, you likely won't be able to remember what you read. It's a bit like reading a foreign language. If you don't understand what you're reading, how would you remember it? But there are a few things you can do… Use a dictionary: look up the difficult words.●Are you connected?Does a character remind you of friend? Doesn't the setting make you want to visit the place? Does the book inspire you, and make you want to read more? With some books, you may feel a connection right away.3How willing are you to make the connections happen?●Read it; hear it; be it!Read the lines. Then, speak them out loud. And, put some character into words. When he was writing his novels, Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters. He'd make faces in the mirror, and change his voice for each character.4●How often do you read?If you read frequently, you'll likely have an easier time with remembering what you're reading （and what you've read）.5As you make reading a regular part of your life, you'll make more connections, stay more focused and understand the text better. You'll learn to enjoy literature—as you remember what you read!A. Are you confused?B. Practice makes perfect.C. What's your motivation?D. Memory is sometimes a tricky thing.E.

D．Generous families.Seagrass meadows (海草床) are wonder plants growing beneath the sea. They feed and shelter sea life and are masterful at storing carbon. Thanks to the assistance of tiger sharks, a huge seagrass meadow in the Bahamas Banks has been discovered, offering the world a tool to fight climate change.Seagrass has usually been detected by Earth-orbiting satellites that identify darker spots in the blue water. In a recent study, tiger sharks were selected as research tools due to their highly consistent associations with seagrass ecosystems. They spent 70% of their time in seagrass meadows. The team equipped eight tiger sharks with satellite labels, seven sharks with camera labels, and used a 360-degree camera on a shark for the first time ever.The data researchers collected was astonishing. The world’s largest seagrass ecosystem, measuring at least 66,900 square kilometers, has been discovered. This reflects a 41% increase from previous estimates of global seagrass. Seagrass can capture (捕获) huge quantities of carbon by photosynthesis (光合作用) and stores it on the seafloor. In terms of climate change, this is excellent news; seagrass is 35 times faster at removing carbon than tropical rainforests. When referring to global seagrass carbon stock estimates, the study indicates that seagrass in the Bahamas may contain 19.2% to 26.3% of all the carbon stored in seagrass meadows on Earth.Yet seagrass meadows are rapidly disappearing, with over 92% of meadows in theUK gone, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Scientists are collecting seeds and trying to grow new seagrass meadows through restoration projects. This new discovery offers optimism and proves the importance of the ocean for healing.The sharks led us to the seagrass ecosystem in the Bahamas, which we now know is likely the most significant blue carbon sink on the planet. What this discovery shows us is that ocean exploration and research are essential for a healthy future. The undeveloped potential of the ocean is limitless. These meadows can be protected and can be copied, offering hope for climate change around the globe.4．How was the seagrass meadow in the Bahamas Banks discovered?A．By analyzing satellites images.B．By keeping track of tiger sharks.C．By using a 360-degree camera.D．By carrying out restoration projects.5．What is the benefit of seagrass in terms of climate change?A．Seagrass provides food for tiger sharks.B．Seagrass stores large amounts of carbon.C．Seagrass absorbs wastes from the ocean.D．Seagrass supplies a habitat to sea animals.6．What is the main message conveyed in the passage?A．Tiger sharks are a tool to detect seagrass meadows.B．Seagrass meadows are disappearing at an alarming rate.C．Scientists are making progress in restoring seagrass meadows.D．Seagrass meadows have a great potential to fight climate change.7．What is the writer’s attitude towards the discovery of seagrass meadows? A．Concerned. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.Recently I bought a book about signposts. Signposts aren’t very interesting, you’re thinking. Well, that, of course, depends on whether you happen to be lost! Ancient travelers would have been grateful for these when settlements were smaller and further apart. In winter, the ability to reach shelter for the night could bethe difference between life and death.One of the very earliest waymarks discovered is in Cumbria. Dating from Roman times, it had lain fallen until 1836, when a farmer ploughing his fields came across a sandstone shaft (碑文). There are other stone posts that have stood by roadsides for centuries. It wasn’t until 1697 that an act was passed declaring that guide-stones must be built.This applied to remote parts of the country where there might be confusion as to which path led to the nearest market town. Later, with the appearance of the Royal Mail, the number rose still further. Nowadays many of these early road signs are designated (指定) as Listed Monuments.“How times change!” Lucy, an enthusiastic walker, to whom I loaned the book, exclaimed.“I suppose now we all rely far more upon mobile phones to guide us.”“Yet they aren’t perfect. Whenever I go out, I prefer a map. I never have to worry about running out of battery.”“I’m always grateful to whoever is placing way-markers along the route,” she added, “I suppose that however sure we are, a little outside confirmation is always welcome.”Lucy is quite right there. Life itself can offer us a great many choices of path, and sometimes it isn’t easy to know if we’ve chosen the best one.Perhaps when it comes to gratitude, we should also include thanks for those people who appear in our lives when we most need them — either giving us gentle warning that we might be heading in the wrong direction, or reassurance that we are on the right track. After all, we’d be lost without them!8．What does the underlined word “these” in the first paragraph refer to? A．Signposts. B．Abilities. C．Settlements. D．Shelters. 9．What contributed to the initial spread of signposts?A．The market trade. B．The act passed in 1697.C．The discovery of the sandstone. D．The appearance of the Loyal Mail. 10．What does Lucy think of signposts?A．Popular. B．Outdated. C．Imperfect. D．Helpful.11．What does the author learn from signposts?A．To choose right tracks. B．To live a colorful life.C．To have a grateful mind. D．To offer practical choices.A study offers even more evidence of the harmful health effects of sugar. The research, published in the journal BMC Medicine, found that diets higher in free sugars –a category that includes sugar added to processed foods and sodas, as well as that found in fruit juice and syrups—raise one’s risk of heart disease and stroke.The study relied on data about the eating habits of more than 110,000 people aged 37 to 73 in the United Kingdom, whose health outcomes were then tracked over about nine years. An author of the study, Cody Watling said sugars that occur naturally in whole fruits and vegetables are not considered “free sugars” and were excluded from the analysis. The researchers estimated participants’carbohydrate(碳水化合物) intakes and then further broke that down by type of carbohydrate to focus on free sugars.Then the authors compared that to the participants’possibility of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. The people who were found to have the highest risk of heart disease or stroke consumed about 95 grams of free sugar per day, which accounts for 18% of their daily energy intake, Watling said.“Avoiding sugar-sweetened beverages is probably the single most important thing we can do,” said Walter Willett. He added that although there are some health benefits to drinking a small glass of orange juice occasionally, its sugar content means “a glass of fruit juice is the same thing as Coke.”Cody Watling said the study demonstrates that the types of carbohydrates people choose to eat may matter more than the total amount. “What’s really important for overall general health and well-being is that we’re consuming carbohydrates that are rich in whole grains,”he said, while “minimizing the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.”12．What can we learn from the text?A．Free sugar refers to the sugar added to processed foods.B．Walting didn’t research sugars that occur naturally in whole fruits and vegetables.C．The free sugar accounts for 18%of people’s daily sugar intake.D．Walting suggested us avoiding sugar-sweetened beverages.13．What does the underlined phrase “break down” mean in paragraph 2? A．Classify. B．Destroy. C．Analyze. D．Confirm. 14．Which section of a magazine is this text taken from?A．Health and life. B．Food and Culture.C．Science and Technology. D．Medicine Science.15．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To encourage people to refuse fruit juice.B．To ask people to say no to free sugar.C．To advise people to consume more types of carbohydrates.D．To warn people against diets with higher free sugars.二、七选五Is your glass of milk half-full or half-empty? This saying is often used to test people’s outlook in a situation; do they focus on the positives(a half- full glass)well-being.Why is thinking positively good for you?Research shows that people who are optimistic and think positively tend to experience less stress and cope well when faced with life’s challenges. People who are more pessimistic may find it hard to believe that these challenges will pass. Scientists have even found that thinking positively can make you live longer. According to Professor Tali Sharot, being optimistic about the future can make you happier and more successful. 17Worrying is like a fire alarm.Everybody can worry from time to time. Worrying can help to keep you safe—if you were never worried and were overly positive about how things would turn out, you wouldn’t recognize risks.“ 18 It’s like a fire alarm,” says childpsychotherapist RachelMelville-Thomas. “The trouble is that sometimes it goes off when there isn’t a huge danger to face.” When this happens, you can feel anxious and hopeless about what lies ahead.19Optimism is shaped by your genes, which carry characteristics inherited from your parents, and by what happens to you. 20 Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that’s positive —for example, an image of you playing guitar, having passed your next grade. Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it, such as practicing every day after school.A．Learn to think positively.B．Sometimes worrying can do harm to our health.C．The way you think positively or negatively largely depends on your genes.D．Worrying is our brain warning us that there might be something threatening.E．However, no matter your starting point, everyone can learn to become more optimistic.F．Thinking positively, with a belief that most things will turn out well, is called optimism.G．This’s because you believe your goals are achievable, which encourages you to work towards them.三、完形填空Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modern age.

After he finished handing out the test papers, he asked them to begin.The students were very surprised to see that there was not a question but a black dot(圆点) in the centre of the paper. The teacher noticed the students' surprise and said, “I want you to write about what you see there.” At the end of the class, the teacher took all the students' answer sheets and read the answers. All of them described the black dot. After reading all the answers, the teacher said, “Here everyone only paid attention to the black dot, but no one wrote about the white paper.”The whole class listened silently, because they were afraid to fail the exam. Then the teacher said, “Don't worry about your marks for this test. I just want you to think about your life. The white paper is like your whole life and the black dot in the centre of the paper represents(代表) problems in your daily life. Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care. However, we just pay attention to the problems like illness and poverty, and never see happy things in our life. So we should try to solve our problems and enjoy each moment life gives us.”4．What was in the centre of the paper?A．A white dot. B．A black dot. C．A question. D．A gift.5．Which of the following is wrong according to the story?A．There was a black dot in the centre of the paper.B．Nobody paid attention to the black dot.C．The students should not just care about their marks.D．The students were very surprised when they saw the papers.6．Which is the right order of the story?①The teacher read all the answers.②The teacher asked his students not to worry about their marks.③The teacher wanted his students to think about life.④The teacher began to hand out the test papers.A．④①②③B．①②③④C．④①③②D．③②①④Paris, best-known as the city of love, is also the city of book lovers! Here are four literary landmarks you should not miss.Brasserie Lipp151 Boulevard Saint-GermainThis brasserie has long been a popular bar for creatives. In its early days it was popular among actors from a nearby theatre group called Vieux-Colombier. Later, writers came in droves. Marcellin Cazes, who took over ownership in 1918, created the literary prize Prix Cazes to reward authors not successful in literary competitions before. It has been staged annually since it began in 1935.BoquinistesRight Bank and Left Bank of the River SeineThe boquinistes are riverside booksellers who have been around since the 16th century. These booksellers began as somewhat lawless figures, disliked by the authorities as they were able to get around the censorship (审查) rules. In the mid-19th century they were granted licenses to sell books, and now they are a major sight along the Seine. They feature on France’s list of intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage.Père Lachaise8 Boulevard de MenilmontantWhen it first opened, this cemetery was not a popular burial spot. It was some way away from the city centre and it had not been blessed by the church. In a marketing ploy, the cemetery acquired the remains of some notable literary figures. In decades, the cemetery had become the final resting place of many writers, including Balzac and Gertrude Stein.Le Procope13 Rue de l’Ancienne ComédieLe Procope was opened in 1686 by Sicilian chef Francesco and is still on business. Located across the road from a theatre, it became a hotspot for actors, playwrights and poets. Voltaire was said to drink 40 cups of coffee a day while he worked at a table at the cafe.7．Who was the prize Prix Cazes intended for?A．Notable literary figures. B．Actors from Vieux-Colombier. C．Booksellers on the Seine. D．Losers in literary competition. 8．What makes Boquinistes distinctive?A．Their popularity among creatives. B．A perfect option for book shoppers. C．Being intangible cultural heritage. D．Playwrights and poets’ favour. 9．Of the four literary landmarks, which can not be a consumption spot for visitors? A．Brasserie Lipp B．BoquinistesC．Père Lachaise D．Le ProcopeIn the animal kingdom, mimics (模仿) are not rare. Stick insects pretend to be twigs. Hawk moth caterpillars resemble poisonous snakes. The examples, though, are visual. Auditory mimicry is rarer. Danilo Russo of the University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it, as he describes in Current Biology. Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them.Dr. Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago. The noise struck him assimilar to the sound of some bees. He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry which helped to scare off would-be predators.To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different bees. Computer analysis revealed that bees’and bats’ buzzing were, indeed, similar.Then the researchers recruited several owls. They put the owls, one at a time, in an enclosure with branches for them to stay on, and two boxes with holes in them. They placed a loudspeaker alongside one of the boxes and, after the birds had settled in, broadcast through it five seconds of uninterrupted bat buzzing and a similar amount of insect buzzing three times in a row for each noise. As a control, they broadcast in like manner several non-buzzing sounds made by bats.During the broadcasts and for five minutes thereafter, they videoed the owls. After analysis, the results were unequivocal. When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer.Dr. Russo believes this is the first reported case of a mammal using auditory mimicry to scare away a predator. They strongly suspect, however, that it is not unique. Anecdotes suggest several birds also make buzzing noises when their nests are disturbed. And with the result of the experiment, he therefore predicts that auditory mimicry is far more widespread than currently realized.10．What was Dr. Russo’s assumption of the study?A．Bats imitate the voice of angry bees to frighten away enemies.B．The buzzing of bats is similar to the sound of some bees.C．Auditory mimicry is rather common in the animal kingdom.D．Only some bats have the capacity of auditory mimicry.11．How did Dr. Russo test his idea?A．By consulting experts in this field. B．By referring to other scholars’analysis.C．By collecting computer data. D．By conducting series of scientificexperiments.12．What does the underlined word “unequivocal” in paragraph 5 possibly mean? A．Disappointing. B．Controversial. C．Definite. D．Uncertain. 13．What is a suitable title for the text?A．A New Trick to Scare Away Owls B．Animal Mimicry: Buzz offC．A Self-protection Behavior among Animals D．Bats: No More Victim to Owls二、七选五International Languages Week is an annual event held in New Zealand to promote language and culture from around the world.

浙江省温州市温州十校2023-2024学年高一下学期5月期中英语试题一、阅读理解Luminous SoulThis project encourages disabled people to feel contemporary dance and to consider the possibility that with training they could become professional.

Over three years the project has trained 75 young people in drama, dance and song. One participant, Erin Quinn, was a shy 13-year-old girl when she began, but three years later she has grown in confidence hugely and is hoping to make a career in drama. “I had an interest in music, but nothing compared to sports, and then I found Imagine Action,” Erin said.Falkirk’s Future StarsFalkirk’s Future Stars is about inspiring local athletes to achieve their potential by putting them into a class or club environment. Alistair Fraser is a young basketball player taking part in this project.

By December 20, 2023, the city airport’s annual passenger throughput had gone beyond 20 million. According to a new report, during the three-day New Year holiday, Harbin received 3.05 million tourists and made income of 5.91 billion yuan, both of which reached record highs.Harbin, also known as China’s “ice city”, is famous for its ice and snow culture. For over 60 years, the city has had a tradition of holding an annual ice lantern exhibition, presenting the creativity and skill of its artists. Recently, the Ice and Snow World, recognized by the Guinness World Records as the largest ice and snow park, is just one of many attractions in the city. It features amazing ice and snow sculptures, including replicas (复制品) of famous landmarks, animals, and cartoon characters. In addition, visitors can also enjoy different kinds of snow sports, such as ice skating, ice fishing, and sledding.Harbin spared no effort to show its sincerity and hospitality to tourists. At the Ice and Snow World, a lot of new experiences have been provided, such as hovercrafts and bicycles on ice, Ferris wheels, and hot air balloons. Tourists were welcomed with live performances at the airport, and dressing rooms were set up for them to change into warm clothing. Local residents supported by traveling during off-peak hours to reduce traffic and offering tourists free rides. For those unable to book hotels, the government opened the Provincial People’s Congress Service Center for low-cost stays.“For individual travelers, a city’s infrastructure (基础设施) and public services form the foundation of tourism competitiveness.

In 1931, Winston Churchill wrote that by the 1980s“we shall escape the absurdity (荒谬) of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.” It seems that his predictions are beginning to materialise. Due to the rising global demand for meat, the world turns to cultured meat to overcome the environmental problems of traditional animal agriculture.The science behind cultured meat is fairly well established. A sample of cells is first takenfrom a live animal and these cells are fed growth medium that enables them to grow and divide, allowing trillions of cells to be produced from a small sample. Once enough cells have been produced, they are turned into developed muscle and fat cells through a certain process. Standard food processing technologies are then used to form the final product—meat.Investors have responded optimistically, with cultured meat start-ups raising over$125 million since 2015 and investments growing by 85% between 2017 and 2018. High profile backers include Bill Gates, Richard Branson and Google co-founder Serge y Brin, who helped fund(资助) the first cultured burger in 2013.Despite this optimism, cultured meat still has a long way to go before it appears on our dinner tables. The first cultured burger famously cost $280,000 to produce and, though costs have come down considerably since then, the price of production remains a challenge. Another major challenge facing the cultured meat industry is government regulation. No legal right has yet approved cultured meat for consumption.Josh Tetrick, CEO of JUST, has claimed that the company’s cultured chicken nuggets have been ready for small scale (规模) commercialisation since 2018. However, Uma Valeti, CEO of Memphis Meats, has emphasized the importance of taking time to get the release right. Regardless of companies’intentions, it is unlikely that cultured meat will find its way onto supermarket soon. Instead the first products will likely appear in selected restaurants in a limited release, reserved for the more adventurous and wealthy diners.8．What does the underlined word “materialise” in paragraph 1 mean?A．come near B．come true C．become clear D．take action 9．What is true about cultured meat?A．Cultured meat results in growing environmental problems.B．Cultured meat is produced with the help of cells from animals.C．Cultured meat tastes similar to the traditional meat from animals.D．Cultured meat is ready to be put in market in large numbers.10．What’s the author’s purpose in writing Para 3?A．To show investors felt confident in the future of cultured meat.B．To show investors earned much money from the selling of cultured meat.C．To show investors invested much money in the making of cultured meat.D．To show investors contributed a lot to the first cultured meat.11．Which of the following is the best title?A．Cultured Meat: Just Around the Corner?B．Cultured Meat: A Challenge to Take up?C．Meat Production: In Lab or in Farm?D．Meat Production: To Be a Problem?ChatGPT is an amazing artificial intelligence tool that has recently been released, along with other mind-blowing generative (生成性的) AI tools like Midjourney and DALL-E. These tools have the potential to revolutionize the way we create digital content, making it faster and cheaper.However, there is a downside to these AI tools that cannot be ignored. What happens when they start replacing copywriters, journalists, customer service agents, and digital marketers? For years, experts have been warning that AI could threaten white-collar jobs, which were once considered safe from automation (自动化). Some even predict that up to 47 percent of jobs in the US could be at risk.While no one can say for sure whether generative AI will cause mass job loss among highly educated workers, it is clear that it has the potential to disturb the employment landscape. Companies will always choose machines over humans when they can, and AI has the ability to perform tasks currently done by copywriters, digital content producers, and other professionals. This means that these jobs may soon undergo significant changes. However, it is important to note that AI cannot replace certain aspects of these jobs. It cannot conduct interviews, find historical documents, or assess the quality of studies. It lacks authority, understanding, and the ability to correct itself or generate genuinely new ideas.This implies that while AI may create a vast amount of simpler content, it could also make original journalism more valuable and investigative journalists more productive. AI may be able to make summaries of public meetings, but it is humans who will write in-depth stories.

The more you pressure yourself to succeed and live up to your perfect ideals, the more frustrated you will feel when things don’t work out. Stop thinking that you need to have certain things or be in certainplaces, just for you to feel good about yourself.Throw away the emotional baggage17 However, you can’t keep holding onto your emotional baggage forever. Leave all your heartbreaks and emotional hangups where they belong, in the past, and learn to let go of the troubles you may have been holding onto. It’s okay if you’re still hurting as long as you allow yourself the freedom to heal, transform, and grow as you greet the New Year.Keep away from toxic (有毒害的) relationshipsIt’s time for you to say goodbye to tiring toxic relationships and one-sided friendships. Don’t surround yourself with fair-weather people. Know that you deserve to be with people who care for you, understand you, accept you, and connect with you. 18Do differentlyAre you looking for a change? 19 After all, no one ever achieved anything great by simply following the crowd, so why not have a little fun and experiment? Get a change of scenery, adopt a new hobby, and do something you’ve always wanted to do but never had the courage to do before.20We all desire for the approval and acceptance of the people who matter to us, but worrying too much about what others think will only bring you misery and frustration.

F．The truth is the person whose approval should matter the most to you should be you. G．Letting go of your personal problems is easier said than done.二、完形填空On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from a pizza store.

This makes it difficult to find one single kind of African music". However, there are certain touches one can look for.One of these musical elements in Waka Waka, the official song for 2010 World Cup, is the call-and-response. In call-and-response, the lead vocalist sings a line, and waits for the other musicians, or audience to sing back. This kind of participation gives a lot of African music a public feeling to it. It can also be heard in many Western musical styles developed from Africa such as blues, jazz, andhip-hop.In turn, these genres have come back to Africa and are playing a major part in modem African pop music. Such influences can be heard in Waka Waka. Because of it, perhaps the song is not just an African song, but a global one. Some South Africans agree, said local music fan Heidi Botes to crwys-williams. "I think its great that there are a lot of artists contributing to the song; It unites the world. The soccer World Cup is not just about South Africa. it's about .. the worldQuestions:14. What makes Africa difficult to find one single kind of African music?(A)15.
