Dear headmaster,I’m Li Hua, a student from Grade 1, Class1__________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yours truly,Li Hua 【答案】Dear headmaster,I’m Li Hua, a student from Grade 1, Class 1. I’m very glad to hear that our school has decided to buy new books for the library.Although our library has a large collection of books, I don’t think they can meet students’ needs. Amongall the books, test-prep books are in the majority, making up 60 percent. 20 percent of the books belong to biography and 10 percent art. Only 15 percent are literature books, which is too small.So I think we should buy more literature books, especially the ones of traditional Chinese. They can not only make us feel relaxed in the busy study, but also broaden our vision and enrich our minds, helping us form the right attitude toward life.I would appreciate it if you would take my suggestion into consideration.Yours truly,Li Hua连云港市2019─2020学年第二学期高一期末调研考试英语试题真题第一节应用文写作(满分15分)56.假如你是李华，你的英国朋友Jim对汉字感兴趣。
2019-2020学年无锡市第一中学高三英语下学期期末试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AYou have to praise the smoothness（顺畅）of ants on the move. No matter how many of them are going toward a place, there's never a hold-up. A new research paper shows how ants keep traffic flowing by changing their behavior to meet changing conditions.For their experiments, researchers from the University of Toulouse focused on Argentine ants, animals that often move from colony（群落）to colony depending on where the food is. Making use of Argentine ants' talent for fast travel, the researchers built bridges connecting their colonies. The bridges were different in width from a fifth to three-quarters of an inch. The colonies, too, were of different sizes, ranging from 400 to more than 25,000 ants.Then the researchers sat back andmonitoredthe traffic. To their surprise, even when those narrower bridges were full of ants, there were no "traffic accidents". "When the number of ants on the bridge increased, ants seemed to be able to understand the situation and adjusted（调整）their speed accordingly to avoid making the traffic flow stop. "the authors note. "Moreover, ants avoided entering a busy road and made sure that the bridge was never too packed to cross.”The lesson for humans? The traffic problem may lie in our inability to adjust our driving habits for the good of the whole. Driving is fun when there are few cars on the road. Then the traffic moves very slowly. And yet, some impatient driver still acts like he's alone on the road.The research suggests that projects, like the ever-widening of highways, may never free us from traffic jams. As long as we drive along with our own habits, no matter how many other people are on the road, we'll always end up in a traffic jam. Indeed, less space may actually be a good thing. It leaves less room for individual choice and forces us to take a page from the driving book of ants.1. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The results of the experiments.B. The purpose of the experimentsC. The preparation of the experiments.D. The requirements of the experiments2. What does the underlined word "monitor" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. watch and check.B. seek and improveC. design and planD. discuss and practise3. What is the best title for the text?A. Is widening highways a solution?B. Why don't ants need traffic lights?C. Can we learn safe driving from ants?D. What can ants teach us about traffic jams?BSometimes people make history. George Washington became the first president of theUnited Statesand made history. Sometimes wars make history. The two World Wars are examples. Sometimes nature even becomes part of history. Shaking earthquakes are recorded in history books.Sixteen years ago, nature caused just such a history-making event. In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina came ashore inNew Orleans,Louisiana. The deadly storm floodedNew Orleans. Before Katrina, no other big American city had ever flooded in the history of the country. This natural disaster caused great harm and death.New Orleansis located below sea level. This location places it at great risk. Levees were built to protectNew Orleansfrom the ocean. (A levee is like a wall between the city and the ocean.) When Hurricane Katrina came ashore, water moved over the levees into the city. Flooding made it necessary for everyone to leave the city. Before Katrina, Creole food (a special kind of cooking only inLouisiana) filled the air with delicious smells. The sound of jazz music traveled through the streets. Now the city has to return to its former glory.Before Katrina, ernment had never made everyone leave a city. People inNew Orleanshad to find shelter quickly. Some had to stay at theSuperdomeSportsCenter. Some rode on buses to other towns. Thousands drove their cars to get away from the storm. The roads and shelters filled up fast.The lesson learned from Katrina was that cities must be better prepared for big storms and other terrible disasters caused by nature. Being prepared might have kept more people safe. Hurricane Katrina is one of the history-making events that will be remembered forever. Today, history is still being made that will shape the future.4. What does the author tell us aboutNew Orleans?A. It was built above sea level.B. It had few jazz musicians after Katrina.C. It was the firstU.S.city that had been flooded.D. It created a wholly new way to cook after Katrina.5. What can we say about the levees?A. They were almost useless for fighting Katrina.B. They helped people leaveNew Orleansquickly.C. They made NewOrleansa special American city.D. They should be built to match the size ofNew Orleans.6. What might the author advise city governments to do?A. Put up more shelters in the city.B. Build more levees around the city.C. Teach people how to avoid floods.D. Try to get ready for natural disasters.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Storms are dangerousB. Katrina makes historyC. Floods shapeLouisianaD. History must be rememberedCTexas has been one of the most restrictive gun-rights states in America.Thanks to a new law,however,the state will be one of the most relaxed,to the degree that police are discouraged from even asking about someone's guns. And if they do, they may not have much power to do anything if the person refuses to show a license.To be sure, the law is strict in its own way,offering a model for regulation. Under the law, open-carry citizens have to be licensed, a process that includes safety and shooting tests. They also have to show no prior psychological problems, and they have to be at least 21 years old.It is true that gun violence dropped sharply after restrictive laws were put in place in countries like Great Britain and Australia. However,the US public seems more interested than ever in weapons and the power they convey,despite gun control groups' concern over the increase of violence. Most states in America have steadily expanded gun rights since the end of a 10-year assault(攻击)weapons ban in 2004. Black Friday this year saw the biggest gun cache(贮存)ever purchased in one day.Considering those trends,there's a heated debate about whether the new Texas law is a model piece of legislation(立法)for a changing America,or a walking disaster just begging for trouble. As the law doesn't provide any punishment for those who refuse to show a license to a police officer, critics fear that officers may find it tough to handle potentially deadly situations. After all, armed citizens will no longer be considered suspicious, even though a lot of people might be alarmed by the sight. Most police in Texas have been told to not engage gun carriers unless they are doing something questionable or appear drunk.For sure,New Year's Day will be an exciting one for Texas gun owners. What's not yet known is how the rest of Texas will respond.8. All of the following are required in the new Texas law for open carry EXCEPTA. age limitB. mental conditionC. online registrationD. gun-operating skills9. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The reason for putting forward the new Texas law.B. The present situation of gun possession in America.C. The impact of the assault weapons ban in 2004.D. The inaction of the US government as to gun control.10. What do critics think the new Texas law will probably lead to?A. Heavier workload for policemen.B. Disrespect for officers.C. Lack of trust among citizens.D. Difficulty in crime prevention.11. What is the author's attitude towards the new Texas law?A. Negative.B. Cautious.C. Indifferent.D. Approving.DImprovements to energy efficiency, such as LED lights, are seen by many authorities as a top priority for cutting carbon emissions. Yet a growing body of research suggests that arebound effect could wipe out more than half of the savings from energy efficiency improvements, making the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change even harder to hit.A team led by Paul Brockway at the University of Leeds, UK, looked at the existing 33 studies on the impact of the rebound effect. First comes the direct rebound: for instance,when someone buys a more efficient car, they may take advantage of that by driving it further. Then comes the indirect rebound: fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy, consuming energy.Although the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect, they produced very consistentestimates of its impact, leading the team to conclude that the effect wipes out, on average, 63 percent of the anticipated energy savings.“We're not saying energy efficiency doesn't work. What we're saying is rebound needs to be taken more seriously,” says Brockway.The idea that increased efficiency may not deliver the hopedfor savingsdates back to the Jevons paradox(悖论), named after the economist William Stanley Jevons, who, in 1865,observed that more efficient coal use led to more demand for coal.If the rebound effect does prove to be as big as suggested, it means future global energy demand will be higher than expected and the world will need far more wind and solar power and carboncapture technology than is currently being planned for.But that doesn't mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect. One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect.12. Which of the following is a rebound effect?A. A man uses LED lights to cut carbon emissions.B. A company uses coal more efficiently to reduce waste.C. A family saves money by using energysaving devices.D. A lady spends savings from her fuel efficient car on more clothes.13. How did Paul Brockway's team carry out their research?A. By interviewing economists.B. By analyzing former studies.C. By modeling the rebound effect.D. By debating about the Jevons paradox.14. What would Paul Brockway probably agree with?A. Authorities should dismiss energy efficiency.B. Worldwide efforts to preserve energy are in vain.C. The rebound effect helps protect the environment.D. More attention should be paid to the rebound effect.15. What's the author's attitude towards limiting the rebound effect?A. Positive.B. Pessimistic.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

江苏省无锡市2023-2024学年高一下学期6月期末调研考试英语试卷一、阅读理解When it comes to basic equipment and tools — whether they are for your vehicle, your camping setup or yourself — we appreciate the little things. Items that don’t necessarily have high prices but are smart in their simplicity can make life easier. In fact, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without them! Here are some of our favorites.Getting caught in the rainI love the K-Way Backpack Rain Poncho. Made from 100 percent 190T polyester (聚酯纤维) with a PVC coating and a seam-sealed design, it provides comfortable and reliable protection against strong winds and heavy downpours. It’s long and has enough space to hold a backpack,while a hood (兜帽) adds an extra layer ofdefense in unexpected weather conditions. It comes in a carry-on bag for convenience on the go.* Click here: www.capeunionmart.co.zaNo shocker hereIt can be quite disappointing to try and keep your electrical and extension plugs dry and dust-free while camping. Some people even go travelling, wrapping the connections in plastic bags. There is a simple and far less unsightly (不雅观的) solution, though. The Torpedo Electric Cover from Masterplug is made from lasting plastic and it is perfect to protect your power connections from water, dust or accidental disconnection. It is suitable from cables with a diameter (直径) between 5 and 9 mm.* Click here: www.shop.pretoriacaravans.co.zaHot water anywhereThe Aquablitz Portable Water Heater is convenient and the most economical way to heat water in a container, such as a bucket... anywhere electricity is available (可用的). This makes it great for camping or travelling. It is fitted with a 1.1m cable and a three-pin plug and it has a built-in heat safety sensor. You simply fully submerge (浸没) the unit in water, plug it in andswitch it on.

In my head, I imagined a juicy, tender (嫩的) whole bird with perfectly crispy (酥脆的) browned skin with a side of mashed potatoes (土豆泥): just the way it is always prepared in America, right?For some reason, I never stopped to think that the Chinese definition of a “whole chicken” might be different from my assumptions. I waved a waiter over and hurriedly pointed to the line on the menu to show my food request. Finally, I would be able to satisfy my eagerness!Yet, when the bird finally landed on my plate, my wide grin (咧嘴笑) turned to one of shock. Rather than a golden crispy brown, the skin was instead bright yellow. But the mostobvious was something that I would rather not have seen at all: the head! In all my years of eating chicken, I had never seen the head still attached to the rest of the body. Yet here it was, staring back at me.In America, although people understand where meat comes from, the way food is presented means they aren’t reminded of the living animal it once was. When staring face-to-face with the dead bird on my plate, that fact was made much more apparent.Still, I carried on, trying to ignore the head while I dug into the chicken breast (胸脯肉). But, even here, I found organs (器官) like the heart and lungs that had not been totally removed. Finally, I gave up and just focused on the rice instead.Afterward, I came to understand chicken is almost always served with the head in Chinese dishes. Although my tolerance for food has expanded since then, I will never forget the first time I ordered a whole chicken and got more than what I had expected.6．Why did the author go to eat a whole chicken?A．He missed the food of his home country.B．He wanted to try Chinese-style chicken.C．He came across a unique restaurant.D．He liked its picture on the menu.7．What shocked the author most?A．The chicken’s size.B．The chicken’s dark color.C．The chicken not being crispy.D．The chicken served with its head.8．Why did the author give up eating the chicken finally?A．He disliked its taste.B．He preferred the rice.C．He found organs inside.D．He missed American food.9．What does the author think of Chinese food in the end?A．Acceptable.B．Scary.C．Tasty.D．Comfortable.10．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Eating habits in China.B．Cooking style of Chinese chicken.C．My homesickness in China.D．My first taste of a chicken in China.Most of us can’t smell our own breath. If someone bravely informs you your breath smells, believe them, and do something about it.Your breath can be the first sign that something in your body needs attention. Here are some tips to help you identify the cause, and how to fix it.Of the many causes of bad breath, 90% come from rotten (腐烂的) — smelling bacterial (细菌的) by-products inside our mouth. These by-products form a series of odours (气味) that can make our breath smell like rotten eggs or human waste.The largest and most significant odour-producing part is our tongue. The back of our tongue is a perfect place for bacteria that feed on dead cells, saliva (唾液) proteins, sinus ooze and fluids from untreated tooth disease. These bacteria can form a furry coat on our tongue that spreads through our breath. The good news is that you can fix this by brushing your tongue when you clean your teeth.Eating onion and garlic can add a sulphurous (硫的) tone to your breath for up to three days, due mainly to food particles left behind. Smoking also causes bad mouth smells to stay.Hard-to-reach places in the mouth where the toothbrush just can’t seem to clean can act like greenhouses where unhealthy bacteria develop. Spaces in faulty or broken fillings, holes in teeth, gap s in the gums, as well as improperly cleaned dental implants (移植) all contribute to bad odours. Your dentist can help identify these smell-promoting storing places, and fix or clean them.We all experience morning breath, with some suffering more than others. Morning breath occurs when our saliva flow slows or stops while we sleep. And without saliva to wash, everything seems to stop and the bacteria multiply to give off gassy odours. Other factors that reduce saliva include stress, anxiety, blood-pressure-reducing medication, drugs, caffeine and alcohol.This is why it is important to brush your teeth, and use suitable tools such as proper brushes before going to bed.11．What is the function of paragraph 1?A．To share an experience.B．To introduce a topic.C．To state an opinion.D．To raise a question.12．What does the underlined word “identify” mean in paragraph 2?A．Confirm.B．Report.C．Avoid.D．Present.13．Which part contributes most in producing bad smell?A．Mouth.B．Teeth.C．Tongue.D．Nose.14．What shall we do to avoid bad breath?A．Keep off onion and garlic.B．Reduce smoking.C．Skip meals frequently.D．Drink coffee and alcohol.15．What could be the best title of this passage?A．Dirty tongues lead to bad smellB．Improper habits cause bad smellC．Follow daily routine and avoid bad breathD．Find the causes of bad breath and the ways to remove itHow can humans become immortal (永生的)? You might have only seen the idea of uploading the human brain to a digital cloud in science fiction movies. Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, has already done so. 16 “If you could upload your brain to the cloud, and talk to a virtual version of yourself, would you be buddies?” Musk replied on July 19,“Already did it.” The reply indicated that Musk’s brain-computer interface (接口) company, Neuralink, had already realized the technology.What does Neuralink do?Neuralink was founded by Musk in 2016. The company focuses on brain-computer interface technology which is used to connect the brain to a digital network. It is developing devices for the treatment of patients with neurological disorders (神经障碍). 17 How do brain-computer interfaces work?18 For example, if a person imagines picking up a book, the computer would then learn to identify how the brain gives that command. Next, the computer would send the signal to the machine, which would then move a robotic arm to reach for the book.19Uploading a brain is only part of Musk’s plan. He revealed to Insider that his goal is to download human consciousness (意识) into robots. Just like how our memories are stored in mobile phones through pictures and videos, Musk imagines that our brains — not only how we think, but also our personalities and habits — can be transferred (转入) into robots. In this way, even after our bodies are rotten, our brains are preserved. 20 “The most wildly optimisticpredictions place mind uploading within a few decades, but I would not be surprised if it took centuries,” wrote Michael S. A．Graziano, a professor at Princeton University, in a Wall Street Journal essay.A．What will happen next?B．Why does this technology come into being?C．In other words, the company aims to create links between mind and machine.D．The secret was revealed when a question posted on Twitter caught his attention.E．So many famous scientists are working together to turn this idea into a great reality. F．Some experts believe that this could be realized one day, but the timeline is unclear. G．Computers designed to learn the patterns of neural activity are used to get information from human brains.二、完形填空Recently, I volunteered with Interact, my school’s service group at Read 2 Me, an activity that gives volunteers the opportunity to read to little kids and interact with them.I walked with other 21 into a large room with a large variety of books. When it was time for the activity to start, a burst of 22 was heard. The doors opened, and the children 23 , beginning to look for a reading buddy (伙伴). They all looked so eager to read. I was sitting there, 24 and glancing at the books that I had picked out for the lucky kid I would 25 them to.Just then, a boy about six years old began to come my way. It was Max.
