BJeremiah Thoronka was born in the fighting of the Sierra Leone civil war and grew up in the gutter(贫民窟)on the suburbs of the capital Freetown,having to burn wood for lighting heating.Jeremiahheating.Jeremiah saw with his own eyes how,in addition to the smog making breathing problems common,his young contemporaries fell behind in their schoolwork because of a lack of decent lighting.Energy poverty is a major issue in Sierra Leone—with just 26%of the population having electricity.Inelectricity.In rural parts of the country,only 6%of people have electricity access,most of whom turn to solar lanterns and dry-cell batteries.As a result,it's led to the destruction of forests as people cut down trees for firewood,which leaves Sierra Le one highly sensitive to extreme events like flooding and landslides.Families reliance on firewood also leads to frequent house fires.These life-threatening disadvantages and hardships fuelled Jeremiah's passion for renew able energy and climate change advocacy.At 17 when studying at the African Leadership University in Rwanda,he launched a start-up called Optim Energy that transforms vibrations(震动)from vehicles and footfall on roads into an electric current.It is different from established renewable energy sources including wind or solar because it generates power without relying on changeable weather.Optim Energy ran a successful pilot program in Jeremiah's neighbourhoods,Makawo in the northern part of Sierra Leone and Kuntoluh east of Freetown.With just two devices,the startup provided free electricity to 150 households comprising around 500 citizens as well as15 schools where more than 9,000 students attend.Jeremiah is currently developing plans to expand into the healthcare field which needs power to cool medicines and create enough light for treating patients after dark.24.What affected the young fellows academic performance?A.The war.C.The poor lighting.B.The smog.D.The breathing problem.25.What can we learn about"energy poverty"from paragraph 2?A.It is caused by solar lanterns and dry-cell batteries.B.It has a worse impact on the city area.C.It brings about the destruction of forests.D.It increases the risk of forest fires.26.What is special about Optim Energy?A.It draws on vibrations to make electricityB.It upgrades the use of solar energy.C.It runs a pilot program throughout the city.D.It helps 9,000 students return to school.27.What message does the text want to convey?A.Electricity is the lifeblood of the city.B.Whoever is happy will make others happy too.C.Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.D.We are all in the gutter,but some are making it better.CFor a century,Jordan Creek cut across downtown Springfield.Over the decades the stream regularly flooded into the city's commercial heart.Residents had been tired of the floods so they created concrete banks to cage the stream and in 1932 buried the waterway,hiding it in culverts(排水管)under city streets.It was man's attempt to control floodwater.That was the old way of thinking.For a while,that controlled the floods.But the roads and other hard surfaces prevented water from going into the ground and allowing more rainwater into the enclosed streams than they could handle.Eventually,the water won.The neighborhood flooded in 2000,2008 and2016.For two decades,the city discussed freeing the stream and allowing water to run over the floodplain.Finally,a project to uncover 1,100 feet of Jordan Creek and build three bridges is moving forward.The new way of thinking is to give the water some room,leave some areas for floods and just let nature be nature.Uncovering buried waterways to bring them back to life is a process known as“day lighting”.Coverings are removed and an attempt is made to restore the natural flow and the surrounding ecosystem.The primary goal of the project is flood control.But the work has a variety of benefits.Native plantings will help improve the water quality by filtering(过滤)rainwater.The stream will replace an unsightly landscape and become a“string of pearls(珍珠)”connecting parks and green areas in the city's "Quality of Place"initiative.The benefits go beyond that.Stream restoration is neighborhood restoration.The project may promote economic development and increase property values and tax revenue.While the projects can be expensive,they end costly maintenance.Returning to nature is cheaper than maintaining concrete culverts.28.What did Springfield citizens in the 1930s probably believe?A.Man can control nature.C.Business is the heart of a city.B.Life is prior to development.D.Residents should not live by a river29.What was one result of covering Jordan Creek?A.Three bridges were removed.B.Water went into the ground.C.Floods hit the neighborhood.D.Rainwater was well handled30.Which aspect of the project does paragraph 4 mainly discuss?A.Economic value. C.Flood management.B.Construction planning D.Environmental impact.31.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.A Solution That Proves a ProblemB.Old Thinking Inspires New ChangesC.“Buried”Streams Turn into Urban CentersD.“Daylighting”Buried Waterways to Refresh CitiesDPhilosophers have a bad reputation for expressing themselves in a dry and boring way.The ideals for most philosophical writing are precision.clarity,and the sort of conceptual analysis that leaves no hair un-split.There is nothing wrong with clarity,precision,and the like —but this isn't the only way to dophilosophy.Outside academic ,abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through literature,cinema,and song.There's nothing that grabs attention like a good story,and there are some great philosophical stories that delight and engage,rather than putting the reader to sleep.One of the great things about this is that,unlike formal philosophy,which tries to be very clear,stories don't wear their meanings on their sleeve —they require interpretation,and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with.Consider what philosophers call the metaphysics(形而上学)of race —an area of philosophy that explorers the question of whether or not race is real.There are three main positions that you can take on these questions.You might think that a person's race is written in their genes(a position known as“biological realism”).Or you might think of race as socially real,like days of the week or currencies ("social constructionism").Finally,you might think that races are unreal —that they're more like leprechauns(一种魔法精灵)than they are like Thursdays or dollars(“anti-realism”).A great example of a story with social constructionist taking on race is George Schuyler's novel Black No More.In the book,a Black scientist named Crookman invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites.Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman's Black No More clinics and pay him their hard-earned cash to undergo the procedure.White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are "really"White from those who merely appear to be White.In a final episode,Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter shade of pale than those who were born that way,which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one's skin-darkening it so as to look more White.Philosophically rich stories like this bring more technical works to life.They are stories to think with.32.What does the author think of philosophical stories?A.The meaning behind is very obvious.B.They am extremely precise and formal.C.They often cause conflicts among readers.D.They are engaging and inspire critical thinking.33.Which category might "Christmas"fall into according to paragraph 4?A.Social constructionism.C.Biological realism.B.Anti-realism.D.Literary realism.34.What is Black No More in paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Racial issues caused by skin colors.B.A society view on race and self-image:C.Black people accepted by the white society.D.The origin of sun bathing among white people.35.What is the best title of the text?A.Stories Made Easy C.Positions in PhilosophyB.Stories to Think withD.Nature of Philosophical Writing第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)Do Lobsters Feel Pain?The traditional method for cooking a lobster(龙虾)—boiling it alive —raises the question of whether or not lobsters feel pain. 36 .Lobsters go bad very quickly after they die,and eating a dead lobster,increases the risk of illness and reduces the quality of its flavor.However,if lobsters are capable of feeling pain,the method and others,such as storing the live lobster on ice,raise moral questions for chefs and lobster eaters alike.37 Lobsters have a peripheral system like humans,but instead of a single brain,they possess nerve cluster(神经簇).Because of this difference,some researchers argue lobsters are too dissimilar to vertebrates(脊椎动物)to feel pain.Nonetheless,lobsters do satisfy all of the standard for a pain response.Lobsters guard their injuries,learn to avoid dangerous situations,respond to anesthetics,and are believed to possess some level of consciousness.So most scientists believe that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.38 ,so it is now becoming illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice.Currently,boiling lobsters alive is illegal in Switzerland,New Zealand,and the Italian city Reggio Emilia.The most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun.This device electrocutes a lobster,making it unconscious in less than half a second or killing it in 5 to 10 seconds. 39 .Unfortunately,the CrustaStun is too expensive for most restaurants and people to afford.Some restaurants place a lobster in a plastic bag and place it in the freezer for a couple of hours,during which time it loses consciousness and dies. 40 ,but it is probably the most humane option for killing a lobster before cooking and eating it.A.This solution is not idealB.And then,it can be cut apart or boiledC.Lobsters are popular food in many countriesD.There is growing evidence that lobsters may feel painE.Scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters feel painF.Many restaurants choose more humane methods to cook itG.This cooking way is used to improve humans' dining

高二一月月考（英语）（考试总分：120 分）一、阅读理解（本题共计3小题，总分25分）1.（7.5分）As a marathon runner and regular gym fan, physical fitness was my life. All that changed in May 1997 when I survived a near-deadly car accident. After several weeks in unconsciousness, I woke up with a raspy(沙哑的) voice and no balance. I had to relearn how to sit, stand, walk and move about. Seven years of physical treatment later, I began walking on my own, though slowly and haltingly(跛). I keep a walker around for when I need to move quickly.During all these years of recovery, I remained a gym fan. As I watched the personal trainers working with their customers, I knew I was as fit as they were. So I decided this would be my new purpose. I started studying for the personal training certification exam immediately. Once I did, my health club immediately hired me.However, if you don’t obtain customers, you don’t work. Who was going to choose me with a health club full of able-bodied trainers? A medical consultant suggested I teach group exercise classes in senior homes. Over time, I’ve been able to add more classes, such as balance exercises. Balance work is so important for older people. And for me too! Now the exercises I teach are helping me as much as they do my class. The years as a physical treatment patient have given me lots of cues to use as I teach my classes.A personal trainer —on a walker? It’s not something you see every day. While my students aren’t athletes or body builders, working with seniors gives me an audience that appreciates what I have overcome through regular exercise. I’m able to encourage them beyond what they thought they could do. No longer do my disabilities embarrass me or make me feel ashamed. They have led me to a new purpose in life: inspiring and encouraging thoseI serve.21. What new career would the author take up?A. A gym athlete.B. A marathon runner.C. A physical fitness instructor.D. A physical treatment consultant.22. What inspired the author to work again?A. His audience.B. Others’advice.C. His disabilities.D. The love for gym.23. Why did the author serve the old people?A. He was also a senior with disabilities.B. He couldn’t obtain young customers.C. He had much experience in the senior health.D. He was not as professional as the other personal trainers.2.（10分）As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder. Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆).”According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories: that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.24. The passage begins with two questions to _________.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author’s attitudeC. describe how to use the InternetD. explain how to store information25. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to understand the information.D. The second group did not understand the information.26. In transactive memory, people _________.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD.remember how to find the information27. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.3.（7.5分）From July to October every year, about a quarter of the world’s blue whales feed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. But the whales currently face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. Ships carrying cargo (货物）sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, the whales’ paths and the ships’ travel lines overlap (重叠), and a ship will hit a whale.According to a new study, these ship strikes have become a serious threat to the overall population of the world’s blue whales. Only about 10,000 of the creatures still exist worldwide. Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. Even so, if hit by a container ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries.In 2007 alone, large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a significant loss. “The estimated population of blue whalesin this part of the Pacific is 2,500”, says Sean Hastings, a NOAA analyst. “So every whale counts toward this species moving off the endangered-species list.”Now, marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giant container ships. One very simple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that separates mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands.The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to voluntarily slow down. Sailing slower will allow the ships crew (船员）more time to change course before hitting a whale.Several of the world’s largest shipping lines are set to participate in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots (海里/小时）, the company that owns the ship will be paid $2,500.28. From Paragraph 1, we can know that_____.A. people intend to illegally hunt blue whales for moneyB. large ships often carrying goods may pollute the seaC. the container ships may hit the blue whales frequentlyD. there is fewer fish in blue whales favorite feeding area29. According to Sean Hastings, it’s inferred that .A. the number of the blue whales is decreasing sharply.B. the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list.C. most of the world’s blue whales live in the Pacific Ocean.D. blue whales are often disturbed by other endangered creatures.30. What are the last three paragraphs mainly about?A. The basic responsibility of a sailor.B. Measures to protect the blue whales.C. The world’s largest shipping lines.D. Ways to slow down the speed of the ships.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）How to Improve Your Study HabitsPerhaps you are an average student with average intelligence.

高二上学期英语第一次月考试卷一、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）1. 阅读理解Most people know that listening tomusic when they are feeling down or depressed can encourage their spirits. Howeverstudies have also shown that music, especially certain tones can reduce stress.Music can change brainwave patterns, deepen breathing, and bring on a totallystress-free and more open mindset .Using music to relax when considering a particular problem may not only raiseyour mood, but also could help you reach that “a-ha” moment and finda solution.Music has also been shown not only tomake you feel good, but also, to be a great motivator. For example, duringexercise, listening to music can keep you going, or get you to exercise more byhelping you to ignore negative feelings of tiredness and focus on thepleasurable feelings you get from being absorbed in the music.Music is mainly used to record emotion.When we listen to a piece of music we share the artist’s feelings on a visceral level. That can be sad, and who amongus hasn’t put on a painful love s ong to share in the misery after a badbreak-up? On the contrary, we can share in the delight of songs of joy andhappiness, or any song or piece of music that reminds us of a particular happytime in our past.So next time you are feeling down, puton Beethov en’s Ode to Joy, I bet you will feel a lot better about whatever itwas that was bothering you!（1）We can infer from the first paragraph that music can .A . benefit you in many waysB . promote you to find more questionsC . change the patterns of your lifestyleD . influence your attention to a problem （2）When we enjoy a piece of sad music, .A . we’ll share the artist’s feelings deeplyB . we may recall our miserable pastC . we may be reminded of particular joyD . we’ll show mercy on the artist’s life（3）What’s the best title of the text?A .

It could be something as simple as not gettingthe job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makesyou is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit.Once, a young school boywas caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would notlive. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire haddestroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would belame throughout his life.But the brave boy did notwant to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor, hedid survive.

These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields arelittle powerhouses of nutritional protection.Ofthe common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because oftheir seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein , iron and zinc . Blueberries areparticularly high in antioxidants . The yellow andorange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitaminA and which are antioxidants. As for cherries , theyare so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.Whencombined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellentbase for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For thispurpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter.Remove the skinand place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeezeof fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananaswill last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of thefreezer.Ifyou have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berriesor sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve”creamy dessert, to be eatenright away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feedingthe fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice creamcome out below.（1）What does the author seem to like about cherries?A .

But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, fromcloser to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technologyand reading, the report does little to counsel parents looking for dataabout the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out thatmany parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns aboutincreased screen time.The most hopeful datashared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples andimportant guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kidsand teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have morebooks in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often,and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of schoolapproaches, and school vacation reading lists loom ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make theirown summerreading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.（1）What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A .

ARisks at Your TableSome of the “everyday foods” we eat hide some unhealthy features, which most people ignore. We take a look at some of the health risks being served to you!Energy DrinksYou’re tired and you still have to face a physical or mental stress, so what a better friend than an energy drink to overcome the effort? However, most energy drinks contain chemicals that are harmful if taken in quantities, with effects that are similar to the ones from several other illegal drugs, smoking and alcohol consumption.White BreadWhite bread is poorer in fiber and protein than other bread alternatives. Fiber helps our body to understand when it has eaten enough. The sense of fullness is important if we don’t want an extra-consumption of calories.Breakfast Cereals(麦片)Breakfast cereals fill out lots of shelves in every supermarket you get inside. They’re one of the favorite foods for our first meal of the day, because they’re simply delicious. What many people are not aware of is that these products are loaded with GM(转基因) organisms which affect our immune system. If you really can’t separate yourselves from breakfast cereals, maybe you could start considering some organic breakfast cereal alternatives.Fat-Free FoodsFat-free foods may look like the gold mine for a perfectly balanced and satisfying diet, but the reality is widely different. Fats are essential for many body functions and for its healthy development.A fat-cut is not advisable, especially when your workouts are regular. Plus, fat-free foods are usuallyhigh in processed sugar.21. Which is particularly improper for a man going to the gym regularly?A. Energy drinks.B. White bread.C. Breakfast cereals.D. Fat-free foods22. What do these four foods have in common?A. They are delicious and healthy.B. They contain harmful chemicals.C. They hide some harmful features.D. They lack some essential nutrients.23. In which section of a website can you probably find this passage?A. Health.B. Medicine.C. Culture.D. Science.BDo you know what you’d like to be when you grow up? It takes most people many years to find out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita, it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she got down to painting at the age of two, she was an artist. Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child, she loved colouring in her colouring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her colouring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and colouring them in.By the time Alexandra was seven years old, she had begun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra took a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist’s unusual style of painting. Alexandra’s work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”, which was a great honour.Alexandra’s first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programmes and in newpers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peacethroughout the world.24. When did Alexandra begin drawing pictures?A. In the year of 1985.B. At the age of two.C. At the age of seven.D. At the age of eight.25. Alexandra was called “Little Picasso” because _____________.A. she learned to paint from PicassoB. her style of painting was realisticC. she was one of Picasso’s big fansD. her style of painting was like Picasso’s26. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A. Only painting can make her so delighted and satisfied.B. Only money can make her so ambitious and satisfied.C. Nothing can make her feel composed and satisfied.D. Anything can make her feel happy and satisfied.27. According to the passage, which word can best describe Alexandra?A. Polite.B. Generous.C.

It is absolutely the case in Turkey where garbage collectors started collecting books that have been thrown away and ended up opening a library.It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books when he was working and then it snowballed from there. Ipek and other garbage men started gathering the books they found on the streets that were ready for landfills(垃圾填埋地) and as their collection started to grow, so did word of mouth. Soon, local residents started donating books directly. The library was initially available only to the garbage employees and their families to use but as the collection grew, so did public interest and the library was opened to the public in 2017.“On the one hand, there were those who were leaving these books on the streets. On the other hand, others were looking for these books,” Ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen told CNN. “We started to discuss the idea of creating a library from these books. When everyone supported it, this project happened.”All the books that are found are sorted and checked for condition. If they pass, they go on theshelves. Today, the library has over 6,000 books that range from fiction to nonfiction and there’s a very popular children’s section that even has a collection of comic books. An entire section is devoted to scientific research and there are also books available in English and French. The collection has grown so large that the library loans books to schools and educational programs.“Village school teachers from all over Turkey are requesting books,” Tasdelen told CNN. The government has to hire a full-time employee to manage the library.This library is incredibly popular. It is frequently filled with the children of the city’s workers and students from nearby schools. There is a waiting room set up for readers and chess boards for the people who visit the library. You can even enjoy a cup of tea in the waiting room.28. What does the underlined word “snowballed” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Grew slowly.B. Developed rapidly.C. Declined quickly.D.

To raise people’s awareness of recycling.B. To classify and check the donated books.C. To meet the huge demand from rural teachers.D. To expand the social influence of the library.31.

It’s the latest flight to help open up access to ce for paying customers. The trip has been paid for by US billionaire businessman Jared Isaacman, who will travel with three crewmates(机组同事). A healthcare worker, a science educator and a data analyst will circle the Earth with Mr. Isaacmanfor three days. They hope to inspire others with their adventure and to raise money for children’s cancer medicine. Accordingly, the mission has been named Inspiration 4.The crew’s Dragon vehicle, made by Elon Musk’s company ce X, will ride a Falcon-9 rocket. It is due to launch from Florida’s Kennedy ce Center at 20:02 EDT on Wednesday, or very shortly after. The cecraft will reach an altitude of 575km, which is about 150km higher than the International ce Station (ISS). The four will then spend their time doing experiments and looking at Earth through a large domed(圆顶状的) window which offers panoramic views of the whole planet.The mission follows hot on the heels of Sir Richard Branson’s flight aboard his Virgin Galactic rocket plane on 11 July, and fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos’s trip to ce nine days later in the New Shepard vehicle. The glass dome has been fitted in place of the mechanism that Dragon normally uses to dock(对接) with the ISS, which isn’t needed on this flight.In the 60 years since Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin first went into ce, fewer than 600 people have followed in his footsteps, and most of those have been military-trained personnel flying on government-sponsored missions. Inspiration 4 is different. It’ll be a fully commercially purchased and operated orbital flight. NASA helped fund the development of a lot of the technology used by Elon Musk’s company, and did so to tryto diversify the economy in low-Earth orbit.32. Why is the mission called Inspiration 4 according to paragraph 1?A. To promote the ce tourism industry.B. To highlight the huge expenses of the ce trip.C. To claim the commercial benefits of ce adventures.D. To inspire people and collect money for medical treatment.33. What can we learn about the great mission?A. Its crew members are mostly military trainees.B. The launch schedule is to be further confirmed.C. It is to be made nine days after Jeff Bezos’ ce trip.D. A glass dome will be fitted to replace the mechanism to join the ISS.34. What is the function of the “large domed window” according to paragraph 2?A. It ensures the success of the mission.B. It enables the crew to observe surrounding planets.C. The crew can get a full view of the earth through it.D. The crew can take advantage of it to do experiments.35. What is the passage mainly about?A. A commercially paid orbital flight.B. The diversity of ce exploration.C. The development of ce technology.D. A ce tour on government-sponsored missions.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

得夺市安庆阳光实验学校高二上学期英语月考测试10月满分（150）第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AI was in a shopping mall recently, and I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from the first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it.There was a young man in front of me in the line also waiting to be served. The young man handed the servant a twenty-dollar bill and asked for an orange juice as well as a favor. The servant looked at the young man with a little surprise, not fully understanding him. The young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe at all times. Later, there was a wonderful exchange (交换) between the waitress and the old man.I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I thought he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for the old man as well. Thinking of the happy smiles on the old man’s face, I felt how worthwhile it is to help others.21. The underlined word “favor” in Para. 2 refers to .A. passing the young man a cup of orange juiceB. buying lunch for the old manC. giving the juice to the old manD. exchanging meals with the old man22. Which of the following can be used to describe the young man?A. Humorous and helpful.B. Generous and proud.C. Rich and friendly.D. Kind and considerate.23. In the author’s opinion, the young man asked the serva nt to take the juice to the old man so that .A. more people would be inspired to do good deedsB. he would become famous for his good deedC. the old man could probably accept itD. he would become a friend of the servantBThe Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.The concept (概念) of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.Better for the environmentSustainability (持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.Taste and nutritional contentLocally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness (成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.Community and home valuesWhen you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaging in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.24. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .A. global warming is the most serious problem nowB. the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customersC. North American food is rich in various kinds of materialsD. most people support buying locally25. Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostlybecause .A. they are sent to the market at a high speedB. they are not polluted by chemical fertilizerC. they can be harvested at any timeD. they are picked when they are fully grown26. According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods .A. you can see how fruits and vegetables growB. you will become much healthier and prettierC. you will contribute to protecting the environmentD. you are making money from your community27. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The benefits of buying locally.B. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.C. The importance of protecting the environment.D. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.CPeople often say that money talks. They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.Sometimes people in business feel businesses are as dangerous as wild animals in a jungle. They have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there. They must not be led into making bogus investments (). Bogus means something that is not real. It was said that the word came from a criminal (罪犯) whose name was Borghese. Borghese wrote checks to people although he didn’t have money. After he wrote the checks, he would disappear. So, people who were paid with his checks received nothing.People trying to earn money also must be aware of being ripped off.A person who is ripped off has had something stolen, or at least has been treated unfairly. To keep from getting ripped off in business, people had better try to earn money step by step instead of getting rich quickly.To be successful, a person in business works hard and tries to get down to brass tacks. For example, a salesman may talk about his product without saying the price. You get down to brass tacks when you say, “It sounds good, but how mu ch does it cost?” Word experts thought the expression came from sailors on ships. They cleaned the bottom of a boat. After they finished, they were down to the brass tacks, the copper pieces that held the boat together. So, if we get down to brass tacks, we can avoid rip-offs and bogus ways of earning money.28. What would happen to those people who make bogus investments?A. They would lose a lot of money.B. They would disappear after that.C. They would receive nothing but checks.D. They were more likely to be punished by law.29. The best way to avoid being ripped off in business is to .A. work as hard as possibleB. ask for checks in advanceC. avoid becoming wealthy eagerlyD. earn as more money as you can30. When doing business, people prefer to get down to brass tacksto .A. keep themselves from being fooledB. develop more ways of earning moneyC. reduce their production costsD. get in touch with more partners31. In which part of a newspaper can we find this passage?A. News and business.B. The history of language.C. Words and their stories.D. Funny new expressions. DMore often than not, people will look at the phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook. Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong need to look at our phones. Using the mobile phone, they say, is contagious (蔓延的).A team says people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their text messages or e-mails if they’re with someone that has just done the same. They also found that women were more likely to use their mobile phones than men. The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around the college, observing pairs of college students sitting at tables for as long as 20 minutes and recording their cellphone use. “What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones,” Dr. Daniel Kruger, the study’s co-author, said. “Every person we studied used his or her phone at least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time. People saw others checking their incoming messages and began to check their own.”“Cellphones create another choice for one’s attention and may both support and disagre e with live social activities,” the researchers wrote. Kruger believed this could be explained by the effects of social inclusion (包含) and exclusion (排除). If one person in a pair starts a conversation through his phone, the other one may feel excluded and then feel the need to get in touch with others so as not to feel left out.The researchers note that they might not get the same result in a study of different people—for example, older adults, who may not havea habit of using cellphones so often.32. From the study we can learn that .A. people can affect each other in using mobile phonesB. using mobile phones has nothing to do with social activitiesC. men are more likely to be affected by others’ using mobile phonesD. the sound of mobile phones makes using mobile phones contagious33. If old adults are studied, the researchers .A. will find that old adults don’t like to use mobile phonesB. will find that mobile phones are harmful to healthC. will no longer like using mobile phonesD. may reach a different result34. Which can best describe the author’s attitude towards using mobile phones?A. Supportive.B. Objective.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.35. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. How to use mobile phones correctlyB. Why college students like mobile phonesC. Relation between mobile phones and people’s hobbiesD. Something interesting about the habit of using mobile phones第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。

I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wise they had places like min e—so much so that they make mine theirs.It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boy-friends over, talk on the phon e and stay out forever.I enjoy having my friends here sometimes—it makes the place feel comfortable and warm—but this is my home, not a party house, I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)？Joan Edward’s reply to JoanDear Joan:If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛), you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with—or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, ―I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over.‖Edward 56.

It is the first US city to take such a strong step to keep this technology under control.When a computer system identifies a person from their face in a picture, it’s called “facial recognition” (面部识别). Many police departments use facial recognition. It can be helpful when the police just have a picture of a suspect (嫌疑犯）,but no other information. Normally, even with facial recognition the police must have other proof showing that a person is guilty. But many people say facial recognition programs aren’t good enough yet. The programs can usually recognize white men. But they’re not so good at identifying women and people with darker skin. They worry that “false matches” --- when the computer thinks it has identified a person, but it’s wrong --- will make innocent (无罪的) people look like criminals.For companies like Amazon and Microsoft, facial recognition is a big business. Amazon has worked hard to sell their facial recognition to police departments around the US. Microsoft sells tools that allow prisons to watch people inside.To work well, facial recognition programs must have a great number of pictures of people. But most people whose pictures are in the systems never gave permission (许可) for their pictures to be used.Many people worry that using computers to identify or track people will decrease freedom. Now, in many places, facial recognition is used to keep people under control and much of public life is watched on security cameras. Similarly, many cities in America and Europe are also almost completely covered by security cameras. Police officers now often wear cameras on their bodies, recording all the time. It’s usually not clear when governments are using facial recognition and how they are using it.Facial recognition is already being used at airports throughout Europe and in the US. The Department of Homeland Security expects to have picture of 97% of the people flying out of the country in the next four years.As these powerful computer programs become more common, San Francisco’s move to control facial recognition is an unusual and strong move to limit the way governments use computers to watch and control people.28.Why do people worry about facial recognition programs?A.They cannot multiply people’s responsibility.B.They cannot help the police identify good people.C.They will mistake innocent people for bad people.D.They will identify black people instead of white people.29.How can facial recognition programs function effectively?panies should work with each other.B.People should have more pictures taken.C.They should include as many pictures as possible.D.Police departments and prisons should be under control.30.What make people feel their freedom is on the decrease?A.There are the police everywhere.B. A lot of security cameras are used.C. More people are forced to stay at home.D. Governments focus more on facial recognition.31. What’s San Francisco’s attitude towards government workers using facial recognition?A. DisapprovingB. SupportiveC. DoubtfulD. Optimistic5.（8分）DMany people think of the brain as a mystery（神秘）．They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works．When they think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born either smart, average, or dumb（愚笨的）—and stays that way for life．But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle — it changes and gets stronger when you use it．And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn．Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time．That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise．And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink（萎缩）and you get weaker．That’s why people say, “Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise．Inside the cortex (脑皮层)of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells（神经细胞）．Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems．When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger．The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow．Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy．The result is a stronger and smarter brain．Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains．They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment, with other animals and toys to play with, were more “aptitudinal”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things．32．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Scientists show strong interest in what intelligence is．B．A new study shows the brain can be developed like a muscle．C．Both muscles and the brain are important to humans．D．Intelligence exists in both humans and animals．33．By using such numbers as 20 and 100 in Paragraph 2,the author tries to provethat ．A．exercise plays an important role in keeping muscles strongerB．exercise is more important to people than most of the animalsC．everyone can keep healthy if they do enough exercisesD．everyone should learn as many new things as possible34．Like stronger muscles come from exercise, smarter brains need ．A．to be well taken care of B．a good communication between personsC．help from scientists D．our learning new things35．What does the underlined word “aptitudinal” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Strong B．Lovely C．Smart D．Active三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）How to manage your email inbox36 .We love it and we hate it. We need it and want it, but too often the price we pay is that. As certain as the sun will rise, our inboxes will be full by mid-morning.Honestly, we’ve done it to ourselves.
