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. C．Keats’ family must be very poor.D．Keats rewrote his poem Isabella. 15．What is the text mainly about?A．Popularity of Keats’ poetry.B．Keats’ difficulties in his whole life. C．Other poets’ influence on Keats.D．Keats’ life and his poetry.二、七选五How can teenagers keep themselves from suffering from loneliness? Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness.___16___ A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria(餐厅) won't make you best friends. But it will make you both feel good. It also can make it easier to interact the next time, and the time after that.Find a safe place to make connections. If going to the dancing party makes you feel like you just don't belong, try joining a special-interest group. ____17____ Just because you feel left out in one group doesn't mean you'll feel like an outsider in every other one. Look for a group that allows you to feel comfortable gradually.Find other ways of making connections. Lonely people hunger for friendship. Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others rather than waiting for them to make you feel better. ____18____ Help a child in rending. Take notes for a disabled classmate. You might be surprised at the connections you make.___19___ Loneliness is an absence of quality friendship, not of a particular quantity of friends. That's why it's important to know how to select a friend.You get what you expect, so expect the best. If you expect others to be friendly, you will behave in proper ways that encourage people to be friendlier to you. ____20____ But starting the first step of positive expectations can make all the difference.A．Choose the right people.B．Loneliness won’t last long.C．So consider becoming a volunteer.D．Reach out to others but start small.E．It can be hard work to be positive toward others.F．Maybe it's the drama club or the marching band.G．This harmful attitude can continue into adulthood.三、完形填空progress when we had a flat tire.

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.

With a broad smile on her lips, 15-year old Sirin rushed to her mom to show off her new painting. But mom raised her eyebrows with eyes wide open, and spoke in an impatient tone,“No time, baby. Right now I am busy with an important talk. Just wait for some time, OK?”Holding her oil painting,she frowned,and then searched for her dad.“Dad, see what I have done,”Sirin announced aloud in a thrilling voice. Her dad turned around while adjusting his tie, grinned at her, and showed his thumbs up!Immediately，blowing her two cheeks, Sirin replied angrily,“Dad, you haven't seen it yet.”He smiled at her saying,“No time, baby. I will see it later.”He just patted her back lovingly，kissed her forehead, and rushed for his office.She was not a kid to be pleased with simple gesture or smile. She stood there for a few seconds, and then stormed off to her own bedroom. Hot air was blowing from her nostrils(鼻孔); her face turned into apple red. She threw the painting on the table, slammed (把…砰地关上) the door and threw herself on her bed.“Why is everybody so busy?”She recalled thousands of incidents that hurt her in pre-school, middle school and even in high school too！She assumed at least her own family members would give some values to her thoughts, but they were no exception. Unconsciously, her eyes were filled with tears.The knocking sound on the door put a sudden brake to her thought. Her mom was calling her for dinner. Sirin deliberately came late to join them.

She ran to her mom and hugged her tightly as well, fully aware of her mom’s love. Recalling her mom's stress from work and daily life, she was regretting her previous behavior.

On March 11, 2011, 16-year-old Yuzuru Hanyu was skating at a local rink when the ice beneath him began cracking. He was experiencing 2011’s deadly Great East Japan Earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.0 and killed at least 18,500 people. The event left him with a greater determination to make every day count.He was introduced to the world of figure skating at the age of 4.

Feeling overloaded by your to-do list can certainly make you unhappy, but new research suggests that more free time might not be the elixir many of us dream it could be.In a new study released last week, researchers analyzed data from two large-scale (大规模) surveys about how Americans spend their time. Together, the surveys included more than 35,000 respondents. The researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being — but only up to a point. People who had around two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally said they felt worse. So ultimately the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day, the findings suggest.Part of finding this seemingly tricky “sweet spot” has to do with how people spend the extra time they have, the researchers behind the new study argue. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things (like exercising) or to imagine doing “unproductive” activities (like watching TV). Study participants believed their w ell-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was hypothetical, which is one limitation of the new research, it’s certainly in line with other research showing that be ing in a state of “flow” can be good for people’s mental health.Of course, what feels “productive” is up to you. Many traditionally productive or purposeful activities can be easy and fun. Engaging in a bit of low-key cardio, like walking and jogging, can help burn stress. Free-time activities like reading or cooking are also known to put people in a state of flow.1. What does the underlined word “elixir” in paragraph 1 refer to?A．Magic solution.B．Physical power.C．Psychological test.D．Relaxed atmosphere.2. How did the researchers carry out the new study?A．By doing large-scale online surveys.B．By giving interviews and mental tests.C．By comparing respondents’ backgrounds.D．By conducting experiments and analyzing data.3. What is a distinct finding of the new research?A．Doing unproductive things leads to unhappiness.B．Being in a state of flow benefits people’s mental health.C．Man’s well-being is positively related to the free time they have.D．How people spend their free time affects their sense of well-being.4. What is the focus of the last paragraph?A．The importance of burning stress.B．Easy and fun activities to kill time.C．Further explanation of being productive.D．The benefits of engaging in free-time activities.4. When elderly people stay active, their brains have more of a class of proteins that enhances the connections between neurons (神经元) to maintain healthy cognition (认知), a UC San Francisco study has found.“Our work is the first that uses human data to show t hat synapse protein regulation (突触蛋白质调节) is related to physical activity and may drive the beneficial cognitive outcomes we see,” said Kaitlin Casaletto, PhD, an assistant professor of neurology and lead author on the study. The beneficial effects of physical activity on cognition have been shown in mice but have been much harder to demonstrate in people.The project tracked the late-life physical activity of elderly participants, who also agreed to donate their brains when they died. Maintaining the integrity of these connections between neurons may be vital to fighting against mental disorder, since the synapse is really the site where cognition happens. Physical activity—a readily available tool—may help boost this synaptic functioning.Casaletto found that elderly people who remained active had higher levels of proteins that facilitate the exchange of information between neurons. This result agreed with the earlier finding that people who had more of these proteins in their brains when they died were better able to maintain their cognition late in life.“It may be that physical activity generates a global sustaining effect, supporting the healthy function of proteins that facilitate synaptic transmission throughout the brain,” Casaletto said.The brains of most older adults store poisonous proteins that are the marks of mental illnesses, and the proteins can cause synapses and neurons to fall apart. “In older adults with higher levels of the proteins associated with synaptic integrity, this effect that leads to mental diseases appears to be weakened,” she said. “The study shows the potential importance of maintaining synaptic health to support the brain against mental diseases like Alzheimer’s.”1. What helps elderly people keep cognitive ability according to the study?A．Proteins produced during physical activity.B．Body tissues with healthy chemical substances.C．A certain connection between the brain regions.D．A type of neuron formed while they’re thinking.2. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Mental diseases may affect synaptic health.B．Low levels of proteins help to prevent Alzheimer’s.C．Synaptic integrity safeguards brains against mental illnesses.D．The brain can automatically break down the poisonous proteins.3. What’s the purpose of the text?A．To present a research result. B．To give practical advice.C．To tell an interesting story. D．To solve an academic problem.4. What can be the best title of the text?A．Breakthroughs Have Been Made in the Field of NeuronsB．Casaletto Makes Achievements in Studying Human BrainsC．Ways Are Created to Ensure the Physical Health of the OldD．Exercise Changes Brain Chemistry to Protect Aging Synapses5. The way we watch television has changed, as many of us no longer follow the old model of television. In the past, a new episode (集) of a show was released once a week. 1 People, therefore, have created a new term：binge-watching (狂欢式刷剧). It is used to describe the behavior of watching many episodes of a whole series in a row.2 In fact, a 2018 Morning Consult poll (民意调查) found that 60 percent of American adults who watched shows binge-watched. The percentage even increased among younger audiences. 3Of course, every new cultural behavior has its accompanying health consequences. What is binge-watching doing to our health? 4 They sent an 18-question survey to 926 adults who owned a television and at least one other device with a screen. They found that heavy screen time users averaged 17.5 hours of screen-use every day. They also reported that this group’s health condition was worse than light users.Interestingly, researchers also discovered a connection between binge-watching and greater stress. The result is surprising. 5 It might have been believed that people are turning to binge-watching to deal with anxiety and stress. However, that’s not the case. It could be the case that people will suffer from greater stress if watching more shows continuously.6. How to recognize cyber attacksCyber-attacks may sound like something that happens only in Hollywood movies. You _________a team of talented Hackers gathered around computer monitors trying to break into a secure bank or government server. In reality, cyber-attacks are much less exciting but no less _________.A/An_________attack involves a cyber-criminal sending out thousands or oven millions of links and flies. They assume that someone will_________ fall for their trap and open an infected file or page. Somebody always does. The best way to protect yourself is to learn how to _________cyber-attacks as well as how to prevent them from happening in the first place.Cyber-attacks can happen to anybody. It doesn’t matter who you are; cyber criminals can target you. While many often think of hacking victims as_________about digital security best practices, this isn’t always the case. Kickers are smart. True, there are plenty of apparent scams (骗局) like ‘the Nigerian Price" emails. But there are as many attacks that can fool even the skillful computer-users.Nowadays, cyber-criminals create fake websites and email addresses. You may think you are clicking a link to Dropbox (多宝箱) only to download malware onto your computer, _________may never know when you have visited the wrong site and downloaded a/an_______file. So, it’s up to you to be vigilant (警觉的) and protect yourself.So you need to lean to recognize the signs of cyber-attacks. First, recognize _________activity on your accounts or devices. ____________ some things may be obvious such as account password changes, others aren’t so easy to spot. Usually, hackers insert pieces of code into valid files and programs. And then, you might receive a file from a trusted sender whose mail has been__________. Sometimes, the data are even real, but the hacker may have inserted a few lines of code that can also infect your computer. You should take the time to check your “Task Manager” to get a sense of what____________are running. Check anything suspicious that’s __________in the background. That’s often the sign of malware.Other things to ____________for include: random device or internet slowdown; the software you don’t recognize; inability to access your account or unscheduled shutdowns and restarts.As with everything, ____________ is the best medicine. So, instead of waiting for cyber-attacks to hit you, recognize the signs to protect yourself.1.A．gather B．picture C．find D．establish2.A．dangerous B．worried C．cautious D．helpless3.A．historic B．typical C．potential D．specific4.A．halfway B．originally C．periodically D．eventually5.A．predict B．limit C．warn D．recognize6.A．fearless B．soundless C．clueless D．careless7.A．in conclusion B．and C．but D．as if .8.A．empty B．supervised C．tracked D．infected9.A．powerful B．suspicious C．specific D．frequent10.A．While B．Since C．If D．When11.A．guaranteed B．assessed C．leaked D．composed 12.A．mechanisms B．files C．programs D．commands 13.A．attacking B．chatting C．hiding D．running14.A．sum up B．watch out C．mark off D．turn down 15.A．strategy B．practice C．solution D．prevention7. 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

浙江大学附高2020-2021学年高二下学期期中考试英语试题一、阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2.5分，满分25分）1. 阅读理解Reese Witherspoon was born on March 22, 1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana. She is the second child of the family. Reese spent the first four years of her life in Wiesbaden, Germany, where her father John Witherspoon served in the US Army Reserves. Shortly after, John moved the family back to the United States, settling in Nashville, Tennessee.Reese was introduced to the entertainment industry at a very early age. At age 7, she began modeling. This led to appearances on several local television commercials. At age 11, she was placed first in a Ten-State Talent Fair.In 1990, she landed her first major acting role in The Man in the Moon (1991). Her role as a 14-year old tomboy earned her good reviews. Roles in bigger films such as Jack the Bear (1993) and A Far Off Place (1993) followed shortly after.Following high school graduation in 1994, Reese decided to have a pause in her acting career and attend StanfordUniversity where she would major in English literature. However, her plans were shortly stopped when she accepted roles to star in two major motion pictures. Although neither film was a huge box-office success, they did help to make Reese a rising star in Hollywood and open the door for bigger and better film roles.Her breakthrough role came as Elle Woods in the 2001 comedy Legally Blonde In box office terms, the movie was a great success and made Reese one of the top female stars in Hollywood. In the year 2014, she produced both Gone Girl and Wild, for which she got nominated (提名) for a best actress Oscar again for her role.Reese is actively involved in children's and women's advocacy organizations. She is a longtime supporter of Save the Children, an organization that helps provide children around the world with education, health care and emergency aid.1.（1） Why did Reese stop her studies at StanfordUniversity?A .

Critics say it's probably the best poem about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's just focus on its most famous five lines to make some analysis.In the first two lines of the five, the writer is comparing the life of a man with the changing face of the moon. In Chinese culture the moon is always considered to be a perfect carrier of emotions like nostalgia (怀旧) and longing for family reunion. A full moon symbolizes perfection and unity, while a gloomy night may remind people of their misfortunes. When the moon is round and fair but people are separated from their loved ones, such moments can be even more heartbreaking.Before the comparison, the poet actually complains about the seemingly "ruthless(无情的)" moon and asks her: You should have no spite (怨恨) against man, but why. When people part, are you often full and bright? However, he soon realizes that no one has an easy ride, just like the moon maynot always be bright. The imperfections have been going on since the beginning of time. That's why he says "There has been nothing perfect since the olden days."But should we get bogged down(陷入) by the suffering of things with which we can't change? The poet gives his answer: Change your attitude and stay positive. So, we have this everlasting line,"May we all be blessed with a long life; miles apart, we'll share the beauty, of moon together." The poet hopes that people appreciate the fact that no matter where they are, as long as the ones they love and miss are healthy and happy, they can all admire the same moon high in the sky.To this day people still use this verse to express their good will and wishes for family members and friends who can't be with them, especially during major festivals.1.（1） What does the passage mainly talk about?A . How we can appreciate Chinese poetry about the Mid-Autumn Day.B . When we must recite the best Chinese poetry about the Mid-Autumn Day.C . What made a poet write the best ever Mid-Autumn Day Chinese poem.D . Why a poem is the peak of Chinese poetry about the Mid-Autumn Day.2.（2） Why does the poet write "nothing is perfect since theolden day" in the poem?A . He doesn't understand why the moon hates humans.B . Heknows eventually the moon will become full again. C . He realizes life is always accompanied by imperfections. D . He understands life is too ruthless and has lost his interest in it.3.（3） We can infer from this article that the author________.A . is a very optimistic poetB . likes the first two lines of the five mostC . appreciates the poet's optimism in the poemD . believes a positive state of mind is a must to a good poet3. 阅读理解Foreseeing a time when a patient's own cells may be harvested, multiplied, and fashioned into a replacement organ, researchers in Boston have successfully transplanted laboratory grown bladders (肾) into six dogs.For a century, physicians have replaced diseased or damaged bladders by removing sections of a person's intestines (肠子) and shaping them into a substitute bladder. While the procedure offers some relief to patients, complications often develop because nature designs intestinal tissue for a purpose-absorbing nutrients-other than holding waste liquid of the body. "You start absorbing stuff that should be removed," says Anthony Atala of the Children's Hospital in Boston.Other physicians have turned to human-made materials tocreate artificial bladders, but those efforts have also run into problems. Consequently, to build a better bladder, Atala and his colleagues decided to employ the organ's own cells.To turn the cells into an organ, the researchers first form plastic which can break down naturally into bladder-shaped shell. They then coat its outside and inside with layers of cells needed.To test this strategy, Atala's group obtained bladder tissue from dogs and grew it into organs. After removing the dogs' bladders, the investigators implanted(移植）the artificial ones coming from the dogs' own cells. Within a month, the organs began to perform like normal bladders.Within three months, the plastic shells had broken down naturally, and the implanted organs were hard to distinguish from natural ones, Blood vessels(血管) quickly grew into them. Moreover, nerves seem to form proper connections with the new organs, allowing the dogs to regain normal control of their bladders. Some dogs have had the artificial bladders for nearly a year without any problems nearly a year without any problems.While the bladders of dogs closely resemble those of people, Atala warns that more testing of this transplant strategy must occur before artificial bladders are ready for the clinic.1.（1） The traditional method of shaping parts of intestinesinto a substitute bladder ________.A . allows the patient to absorb useless thingsB . brings the patient a lot of sufferingsC . prevents the patient from absorbing nutrientsD . worsens both the function of the intestines and the bladder2.（2） The artificial bladders implanted in dogs ________.A . worked perfectly as long as three monthsB . began to work as well as a normal one in a few weeksC . proved to be able to work for several yearsD . did not work properly until after a month3.（3） Why is it suggested that more testing should bemade?A . What suits dogs' bladders will also suit human bladders.B . Dogs' bladders can be implanted into human bodies.C . Human bladders may well be different from dogs.D . Artificial bladders grown in dogs can be used for human beings4.（4） What does the passage mainly talk about?A . The way of turning intestines into bladders.B . The prospect of manufacturing plastic bladders.C . The history of making artificial bladders.D . The possibility of making bladders from their own cells.二、任务型阅读（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）4. 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。

（每题2分，共20分）AIf you find yourself checking your phone first thing in the morning, if you find you’re text-messaging while walking, checking your phone instead of working on an important assignment-you are addicted.Don’t worry. The new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. It looks and feels exactly like a smart phone, but it does nothing. It’s just piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.NoPhone is currently prototype(手机模型) that will cost only $12 once it hits the market. Its makers are trying to raise $30,000 in order to cover the production and marketing costs.Dutch designer Ingmar Larsen, who helped create the NoPhone, said that he had the idea as a joke along with his friends Van Gould and Ben Langveld. To their great surprise, the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhone of their own, so that’s when the three friends decided to raise money for mass production.David H said, “I used to sleep with my phone in my hand, but my night terrors would cause me to throw it across the room in an unconscious panic. With the NoPhone, I can still enjoy the comfort of holding a phone in my sleep without waking up to a broken screen. Thanks, NoPhone.”If you’re interested in NoPhone, but concerned about not being able to take selfies anymore, don’t worry. The makers do have an update at no extra charge--the mirror sticker (贴纸). That way; they say, you can enjoy “real-time” selfies with your friends whenever you want.1. From the third paragraph we can infer that_________.A. the users can stay away from the real worldB. NoPhone is a device made of high technologyC. NoPhone has not been on the market at presentD. The makers are raising money to improve their technology2.

By using the mirror sticker.BSalvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities(无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration(合作)with the Museo Nacional Rcina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. Florida.4. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. Productive.C. Generous.D. Traditional.5. What is Dali’s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A. One of his masterworksB. A successful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the stage.D. One of the best TV programmes.6. What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Artworks.B. Projects.C. Donations.D. Documents.CWe all need to eat, and when we go to buy food at the supermarket, we’re offered many choices. But we often buy food that’s been produced in huge amounts and that’s travelled many miles before it ends up on our plate. So for some growing their own food is a better choice--and it tastes good too!From growing vegetables in little pots on your balcony (阳台) to taking care of a small piece of land, there are many ways to produce home-grown food. It can be backbreaking work-digging, weeding and watering the soil, but the result is fresh, home-grown fruits and vegetables, helping us keep a “five-a-day” diet.The recent Covid-19 pandemic lockdown means demand for homegrown food has seen a comeback in the UK. Miriam Dobson from the University of Sheffield, told the BBC that some people have been spending lot of their time on their plots(小块菜地), growing plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables-which, at times, have been challenging to buy in supermarkets. She says “Coronavirus has reminded people of the weakness within our global food system. In such a difficult time, interest in self-support rises.”But for those with little space, solution to grow your own vegetables lies closer to home-using pots. Sheila Brand lives in a third-floor flat in Rotterdam. She has managed to grow tomatoes and eggplants and is already harvesting raspberries. She told the BBC watching the plants grow “is very exciting: ‘Oh it’s got a new leaf’”As well as the benefits of saving money and enjoying tasty food, growing our own from a balcony or window ledge not only improves our wellbeing and immediate environment, we can actually grow a lot of vegetables. So, maybe it’s time for us all to get planting and develop our green fingers!7. A “five-a-day” diet (para.2) probably refers to a diet that includes_________ every day.A. five mealsB. enough fruits and vegetablesC. five kinds of riceD. plenty of water8. According to paragraph 3, home-grown food is getting popular again in the UK recently because_________.A. more interesting, cheap and deliciousB. our global food system is doing harm to usC. it saves the time and money on transportationD. it can be hard to buy fresh food during the pandemic9. According to the writer, where can you grow your own food if you live in a small flat?A. In a potB. On a plateC. In a garden.D. On the roof.10. What does the writer imply the last sentence?A. Growing your own food can do good to your health.B. Growing your own food can make your fingers green.C. Growing your own food can improve your gardening skills.D. Growing your own food can bring your family more happiness.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，选项中有两项未多余选项（每题2分，共10分）How similar are language and music?Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. __11__. Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities.Both language and music have a writing system.In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. __12__By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.__13__You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use.

Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allow us to share in that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. __15__ I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.A. Both are expressive.B. Both vary with cultures.C. How do you know that I am angry?D. We use language to express our thoughts.E. So just as you read English, you can read music.F.
