A21. In Chapter 9, you can probably read how video game designers .A. use math in their work on video gamesB. create artistic backgrounds for video gamesC. invent character names for video gamesD. apply scientific knowledge to video games22. In which section are you most likely to find a description of the earliest video games?A. Part One.B. Chapter 3.C. Part Four.D. Chapter 11.23. According to Part Three, the book is going to tell us .A. the best and worst video games ever createdB. how designers build video gamesC. the history of video gamingD. the different categories of video gamesB24. What can you infer from the letter?A. Antioch was a small village in the year AD 526.B. Most people were calm after the earthquake.C. As days go by, the death toll will decrease.D. In AD 526, Antioch was a large, cultured city.25. Which theme does the letter communicate?A. Most people stay calm during catastrophes.B. People only appreciate what they have after they loseC. Even in tragedy, good things happen.D. Saving people is more important than protecting art.26. How does Simon feel about Antioch?A. Sad about the city’s destruction.B. Disgusted by the city’s crime rate.C. Frustrated by the city’s leadership.D. Amused by the Emperor’s offer.CSometimes pets are more than we can handle, like when a small puppy grows up to be a huge dog. People can usually find a new home for a big dog, but a giant pet snake is not so easy to give away. As a result, some people in Florida have released their pet pythons into the wilderness of the Florida Everglades. Problem solved? Only for the pet owners.The snakes that are the biggest problem are Burmese pythons. These snakes are not native to the Everglades. Pet dealers originally brought them to the United States from Southeast Asia. Because Burmese pytho ns are not native, they disrupt the natural order of the Everglades’ ecosystem.The snakes’ size and strength are also a problem. Burmese pythons can grow to be 20 feet long. There are reports of terrifying battles between pythons and alligators in the Everglades. Even more worrisome is the impact on creatures that are no match for the monster snakes. For example, biologists have discovered endangered birds, bobcats, and wood rats in pythons’ stomachs.Another effect of python dumping is the spread of these snakes beyond the Everglades. Pythons swim well and can move more than a mile a day on land. In addition, one snake can produce nearly 100 eggs. Their wide range of movement and high rate of birth means that the snakes can quickly overrun a habitat.As a result of this scary scenario, Florida park rangers, wildlife officials, and others are on “python patrol.” They capture and kill Burmese pythons to try to keep the numbers under control. There is also a greater effort to teach people about the responsibilities of keeping a python.27. Which of these has caused Burmese pythons to be found in the Florida Everglades?A. Pet owners who let them go.B. Pet dealers who released them into the wild.C. The large number of eggs the snakes produce.D. The snakes’ a bility to swim and move well.28. One effect of pythons in the Everglades is .A. they can even grow to 20 feet longB. they put endangered animals at greater riskC. biologists can study them in the natural habitatD. they control the alligator population29. The underlined word “dumping” in Paragraph 4 means .A. selling unwanted goods very cheaplyB. moving information from a computerC. putting something down carelesslyD. getting rid of something unwanted30. According to the passage, why pythons are spreading beyond the Everglades?A. Pythons are not native to the Everglades.B. Burmese pythons can grow to 20 feet long.C. Pythons can swim and move well on land.D. Florida park rangers are on "python patrol".31.Which of these might happen after pythons become a problem in Florida?A. Pythons will grow too big to handle at home.B. Owners will become educated about pythons.C. People will no longer get pythons as pets.D. Pet dealers will stop bringing pythons here.DYou’ve probably heard of rain forests, but do you know what a cloud forest is? Cloud forests are evergreen forests that are often covered in clouds or mist and are located on mountains. Cool temperatures on mountain slopes create clouds that cover the trees. There are cloud forests on most continents. Central and South America have them, as do Asia and Africa. You can also find cloud forests in Hawaii and on Caribbean islands.Cloud forests have different names, depending on where they are found. Cloud forests are also known as fog forests or mossy forests. In Peru and Bolivia, cloud forests are part of a larger ecosystem called yungas, which means “warm lands.”Many scientists consider cloud forests to be a special type of rainforest. Cloud forests are not as warm tropical rain forests because they are found at higher elevations (海拔) that have colder air. But these cloud forests and tropical rain forests both have many different plants and animals living within their ecosystems.Like tropical rain forests, cloud forest trees drip (滴下) with moisture, but it does not often rain in a cloud forest. Instead, the fog collects as dew on leaves, vines, and branches. This dew provides the water that the plants need. Green moss, ferns, and exotic, colorful orchid flowers hang down from the canopy. Other plants and bushes crowd between the trees, and hundreds of insects crawl (爬行) and fly amid the vegetation. Cloud forests are as diverse and interesting as rain forests or temperate forests.Cloud forests have animals that aren't found anywhere else, such as mountain gorillas and a strange woolly mammal called the mountain tapir. The colorful Quetzalcoatl bird is also found there, and golden toads hop among the bushes. Lately, scientists discovered a new cloud forest animal, a black and brown rodent that looks like a cross between a squirrel and a rat. Cloud forests probably contain hundreds of other rare and fascinating plants and animals that people have never seen before.32. The passage is mostly about .A. the animals of the cloud forestB. what the cloud forest is likeC. where cloud forests are foundD. how scientists study the cloud forest33. Clouds form in the cloud forest because .A. temperatures are coolB. there are so many treesC. the forests are so lowD.it is so moist there34. The passage includes details about .A. why scientists study cloud forestsB. the kinds of trees in cloud forestsC. the animals and plants of cloud forestsD. why cloud forests are endangered35. How are cloud forests and tropical rain forests different?A. Cloud forests have more plants.B. Cloud forests are wetter.C. Cloud forests are studied by scientists.D. Cloud forests are found on mountain slopes.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。

Sophia frowned as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from San Francisco,having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.＂Moving here was a dumb idea," Sophia grumbled,mostly to herself. The girl had been joyless about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints.The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy,either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know, and it seemed like the students hadn't even noticed her. Sophia sighed and got back to washing dishes.On the day of the grand opening,Sophia' s parents were all smiling,welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Sophia was in a good mood as she rushed around,seating guests,handing out menus,and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Sophia' s age. As she filled their glasses,Sophia realized the twins were in her class,Emily and Jenny. Sophia ducked her head down so her long hair covered her face,and she turned away from the table.Sophia' s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher.“Honey, what are you doing back here? W e need you out front with the customers. ”“Mom, I don't want to be out there. There are kids from school!”＂So?” her mother asked.“That's good! Go take them some fortune cookies and say hello!”She clucked hertongue disapprovingly at Sophia and disappeared out of the kitchen.Sophia frowned. She grabbed a handful of fortune cookies that they gave out after every meal,but first she tore open a wrapper and cracked a cookie open for herself. She popped a sweet, crunchy piece in her mouth, and absently read the fortune paper it held.＂Many friends are found with a single smile,” it read.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

浙江省浙江大学附属中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Amazing Zoos Around the WorldHelsinki ZooThis is a zoo located on an island in Finland—it is the country’s biggest zoo which has amazing animals like deer, Siberian tigers and even bears. What adds to the beauty of this zoo is the natural wildlife that surrounds it on the island. From beautiful rainforests to lots of plant species, Helsinki Zoo should be a destination you won’t regret visiting.Toronto ZooToronto Zoo is home to over 16,000 animals, including tigers, lions, and monkeys. The zoo —has an amazing gorilla (大猩猩) habitat exhibit, and a Discovery Zone for children to learn more about the animals and their natural habitats. Another thing that makes this zoo worth a visit is its protection policy, Toronto Zoo has helped to protect endangered species from all around the world and is one of the very few animal-Friendly zoos in North America.Sao Paolo ZooThe state of Sao Paolo has strict laws about animal cruelty and can actually give out fines (罚款) of up to US $435,000 for animal testing. So it’s no surprise that Sao Paolo Zoo, with its over 3,200 animals, is animal-friendly. They also spend time in protection efforts, focusing on Brazil’s own endangered animals. Here, you’ll see plenty of animals like parrots, wild cats and various birds.Wellington ZooIt is New Zealand’s first and largest zoo and is home to more than 500 different animals and 100 different species. Focusing on wildlife protection, Wellington Zoo has successfully saved endangered animals like the Sun Bear. If you make your way to this zoo, you’ll also find yourself face-to-face with red pandas, monkeys and the country’s official bird, the kiwi. This animal-friendly zoo is also eco-friendly, equipped with solar heating and power. 1．What makes Helsinki Zoo different from Toronto Zoo?A．It has tigers.B．It has lots of animal species.C．It stands on an island D．It is a good zoo to visit.2．What can people enjoy in Toronto Zoo?A．Seeing beautiful rainforests.B．Learning about animals’ natural habitats.C．Watching tiger and lion habitat exhibits.D．Seeing special animals such as Siberian tigers.3．What can we learn from the passage?A．Helsinki Zoo has the most animal species..B．Wellington Zoo has managed to protect the Sun Bear.C．There are many animal-friendly zoos in North America.D．People will not be fined even if they test animals in the state of Sao Paolo.As online technology advanced, web sites, podcasts, and blogs became powerful sources of information that allowed everyone to stay updated on any subject imaginable. Although all of these information sources remain popular, there's a new king of media and it's online video.There are many reasons why online video has increased suddenly over the past few years. The first is increasing data speeds. It wasn't until recently that people everywhere had fast enough online connections to enjoy high-definition （高清）videos. However, once faster Internet speeds were provided, people quickly fell in love with online videos. The second reason why online videos have become so popular is convenience. Watching videos requires less effort and energy than reading through paragraphs of text after a day of hard work. Videos also seem to provide more satisfaction, as people prefer to connect with people they can hear and see, as against the words of some author whom they know little about.Advancing digital technology has also helped, as it has made sharing videos easier and more convenient than ever. High-powered smartphones and more affordable video cameras allow anyone to easily record an event or give a few comments about a scorching topic that is on their mind. Meanwhile, sites like YouTube, Vimeo, and Ustream allow users to quickly upload their videos and share them with friends, family, and the general public if they wish.Last but not least, advertising. Companies have made it easy for people to get rewarded for creating popular videos. Some people with large enough fan bases can even make a very wealthy living by uploading a few videos every week.The future also looks bright for companies who post online video ads. In fact, new software allows them to watch viewers' emotional reactions to their content through the users'webcams （网络摄像机）.They'll be able to see whether users laugh, cry, or feel bored during videos, so they can adjust their ads. This should prove extremely helpful, as there will be millions of videos competing for viewers' attention.4．Why do some people prefer watching videos to reading after work?A．It helps them review the news.B．It helps them get information with relative ease.C．It provides them more information.D．It helps them save time.5．What does the underlined word "scorching" in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Unusual.B．Future.C．Hot.D．Social. 6．How will the software mentioned in the last paragraph help companies in the future? A．It will enable them to better understand what customers enjoy.B．It will let more viewers see the advertisements they make.C．It will cause viewers to create more popular videos.D．It will make people like their videos.7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Online Video:The New King of MediaB．Online Technology is Developing FastC．Online Video: A New Advertising TrendD．Online Technology is Closely Related to PeopleWherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage is passed down through the generations. It is in the buildings and structures around us. It is in the arts and artifacts (手工艺品) we treasure. It lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell. But today, it is under attack as never before. Not only are the damages of time threatening our cultural heritage, but conflicts, climate change, globalization and tourism are all exacting a heavy price. Technology is now the most essential weapon in the battle. Here’s how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.As you can imagine, creating the replicas (复制品) via crowd sourced 2D images is extremely time-consuming. Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms (算法) are being used to do all the required sourcing, allowing millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours. AI will also make restoration and preservation of existing cultural heritagefar easier and vastly superior to previous methods.Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. Many of the most important sites and architecture are extremely fragile. Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Wastes accumulate everywhere, causing enormous problems.

Regarded as one of the English language’s most naturally gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagination, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and great interest brought him much success. Besides, his own life situation made a great difference to his poetry.Growing up as a young kid in London in a lower, middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to public school in Enfield, near his home. Histeachers and his family’s friends regarded him as a positive boy who liked playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing away due to illness, he began to view life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16, John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his love for literature had taken too much of his time, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Edmund Spenser. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume (册) of poetry that would be published, but was attacked sharply in Blackwood’s Magazine. However, it didn’t stop him.John Keats’ next work to be published was Endymion, which he wrote in 1817 and was published in May 1818. The story tells a boy who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him to an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, he wrote Isabella. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all he learned. However, an attack of tuberculosis (肺结核) while visiting Italy kept him from his work and took his life in 1821.12．What changed John Keats’ attitude towards life?A．The poetry of Edmund Spenser.B．His early education at school.C．The criticism from a magazine.D．The death of his parents.13．What do we know from the text?A．Keats spent two months writing a poem in 1817.B．Keats hardly received education at school.C．Keats had admiration for Edmund’s poetry.D．Endymion tells of Keats’ love story.14．What can be inferred from the text?A．Edmund Spenser was a famous doctor.B．Hyperion might be incomplete.
