When Sholapurkar got a call from the Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) enquiring whether he could help the organization get in touch with regular donors and motivate them to donate blood, he jumped in.He started checking out and contacting the members of voluntary donors from the IRCS database. Through his efforts, he convinced scores of people to come to the blood bank in central Delhi and donate their blood. “There is fear in the air due to the coronavirus, and it is not easy to overcome it. It was my task to inspire confidence in blood donors and tell them that it is absolutely safe to donate blood,” Sholapurkar says.He has been donating blood for more than 40 years now — 163 times to be exact, probably the highest in India. That is almost four times a year; it is also the maximum number of times a person can donate blood in a year. “As I complete 90 days after a donation, I feel my body and mind dragging me toward a blood bank,” Sholapurkar laughs. The IRCS calls people like Sholapurkar “centurion blood donors” —in other words, those who have donated blood more than a hundred times.According to Sholapurkar, blood donation is not only a healthy practice, it is also one way ofshow ing that you care for others. “Voluntary blood donation is a very personal thing. Nobody can force you to do it; you do it out of love for other human beings.” He says, “It gives you enormous satisfaction when you know that your blood will be used to save someone’s life. That is a very powerful feeling indeed.” Sholapurkar was only 17 when he first donated blood, and he remembered his mother not being very happy about it.” It was in a National Cadet Corps (NCC) camp. My mother was rather angry, but she was okay when It old her how blood donation helps,” he recalls.Sholapurkar has worked in various corporate organizations over the years. These days, however, he devotes most of his time to spreading the message of the importance of blood donation. “I tell people to get addicted to blood donation, just like l am. It has no side effects, you will remain healthy and it is one addiction you will never feel bad about,” he says.1. How do people react to donating blood in the coronavirus pandemic?A.They never go to the blood bank.B.They may be afraid of being infected.C.They are ready to donate blood in any case.D.They inspire confidence in blood donation.2. Which word best describes Sholapurkar’s attitude to blood donation?A.Ambiguous. B.Supporting. C.Tolerant. D.Objective.3. What does Sholapurkar do now during his work in corporate organizations?A.Act as a role model for people.B.Devote himself to donating blood.C.Advise people to keep healthy at any time.D.Inform people of the significance of donating blood.4. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A.It Is Worthwhile to Donate BloodB.A Man Is Buried in Donating BloodC.An Ordinary Man Can Make a DifferenceD.Blood Donation Helps Build up One’s Body3. Adults are often embarrassed about asking for help. Seeking someone’s assistance can make you feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school for the same reason.Kayla Good, a graduate student in developmental psychology at Stanford University, and Alex Shaw, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Chicago, applied a classic technique from developmental psychology to learn more about how children think about reputation. Across several studies, they asked 576 children, aged four to nine, to predict the behavior of two characters, Tom and Jack, in a story. Tom genuinely wanted to be smart, and Jack merely wanted to seem smart to others. In one study, they told children both characters did poorly on a test, and asked which of them would be more likely to raise their hands in front of their class to ask the teacher for help.The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose either of the two characters as the one who would seek help. But by age seven or eight, children thought Jack would be less likely to ask for assistance. And children’s expectations were truly “reputational” in nature—they were specifically thinking about how the characters would act in front of peers. They could still imagine situations where Jack would seek help: when assistance could be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it.Given the findings, it seems quite possible that when children themselves are the ones struggling, they, too, might avoid seeking out help if they are concerned about reputation. If so, this unwillingness to seek help when others are present could obviously impede academic progress. Toimprove in any field, one must work hard, take on challenging tasks and ask questions. All of these efforts can be difficult when someone is concerned about their appearance to others.1. What were the children asked to do about the two characters?A.To assess their intelligence. B.To predict their academic progress.C.To discuss their possibility to get help. D.To judge their willingness to ask for help.2. Who was likely to seek private aid according to the eight-year-olds?A.Tom. B.Jack. C.Both. D.Neither.3. What does the underlined word “impede” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Prevent. B.Guarantee. C.Accelerate. D.Monitor.4. What is the author’s suggestion for kids?A.Be ready to help others. B.Be brave to ask for assistance.C.Care more about reputation. D.Make efforts to be smarter.4. Ford is turning McDonald’s coffee waste into headlightsFord is recently including coffee chaff (谷壳) that comes off during the roasting process—into the plastic headlights housing (大灯外壳) used in some cars. It has asked McDonald’s, which doesn’t roast its own coffee, to connect it with suppliers.In recent years, as consumers feel more concern for plastic pollution and carbon emissions, companies have made full commitments to reduce their influences on the environment. They’ve also been developing new, sustainable materials to build consumer products.Traditionally, Ford uses plastic and talc(滑石粉) to make its headlights housing. The coffee version is more sustainable because it’s lighter and doesn’t use the talc which, as a mineral, isn’t renewable. Coffee chaff, on the other hand, is widely available, and much of it goes to waste. Eventually, Ford hopes to use the material for more parts.Ford decided to work with coffee chaff a few years ago. But it’s been experimenting with organic materials for over a decade. The auto company has been using soy-based foam(泡沫) in its cushions since 2011. It also uses waste from wheat, coconut, tomato and other plants in its cars in order to help meet some of its sustainability goals, which include using more renewable materials. Once the Ford team figured out how coffee chaff could be used to build car parts, it reached out to McDonald’s because of the restaurant chain ‘s scale and its sustainability goals. Like Ford, McDonald’s also wants to bring renewable and recycled materials into its products. The partnership between Ford and McDonald’s is an example of how brands with different projects can work together.“We’ve conventionally thought of cooperation as within the food industry,” said Lan Olson, senior director of G lobal Sustainability at McDonald’s. “The Ford partnership can help McDonald’s see what kind of larger impacts are possible when it works with a company in another field. This is just scratching(划开) the surface of trying to understand what’s possible,” Olso n said.1. Why is Ford applying coffee chaff to headlights housing?A.To work with McDonald’s.B.To do experiments in the lab.C.To save resources and money. D.To reduce environmental pollution.2. What makes Ford choose McDonald’s as its partner?A.Coffee of McDonald’s is so popular and has great potential.B.Ford wants to cooperate with one in the food industry.C.They have the same sustainability goals.D.Different brands with different projects can work together.3. What can we learn from Olson’s words?A.Cooperation between the two brands just begins.B.The cooperation is only on the surface.C.Ford has a large influence on McDonald’s.D.Only cooperation within the food industry is welcomed.4. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.News. B.Business. C.Science. D.Entertainment.5. Tips on Enhancing Your MemoryOne of the most common problems today is forgetfulness. Many people are searching for the key to a better memory. 1Enhance your memory by using associations.The first technique to remember things is the association technique. This includes the use of mnemonics (助记符号) or things similar to a particular word in order to remember what should be memorized. 2 If one can create his own associations, that will help to remember things more easily and more quickly.Enhance your memory by repetitionThe second technique is repetition. Stimuli (刺激物) are things that stimulate a person to make his brain work. As a person repeatedly acquires stimuli to make his brain work, these stimuli are remembered by the brain. It is like learning words as a child. 34The third technique is about the application of body movements. By using simple hand gestures while saying a word, a person can remember things that he has forgotten.There are lots of other ways to enhance memory. 5 The first thing that a person must prevent is giving yourself too much stress. In other words, stress must be managed. If you follow these techniques on how to increase your memory, life will be easier for you.6. Mark Bertram lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018.

She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute(聋哑)school. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail sincerely.They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, “Are you willing to be my girlfriend?” Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story. Galaxy explained, “Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100%better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is still a human. He should possess a perfect and wonderful love. ”Her parents asked to see him, then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later. When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, ‘‘I’m going to tell your parents I’ll be looking after you well with all my life!” Galaxy was deeply moved.As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said, ‘‘This is Kazrim.” Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly.He said, “YOU CAN TALK?” It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask, too.The four people were shocked all of a sudden. As a matter of fact, Kazrim always believed that Galaxy was a mute and he still fell in love with her deeply.1. How did Galaxy and Kazrim get to know each other?A. They met each other by chance.B. They were introduced to each other.C. They once studied at the same university.D. They both served in a special needs school.2.

What can we learn about the two young people from the passage?A. They fell in love at the first sight.B. They cheated each other to win love.C. They mistook each other for being mutes.D. They ignored the anger of Galaxy’s parents.BBaby girls make their way to dolls as soon as they can crawl, while boys will head for the toy cars, a study has shown. The findings, the first to show consistent differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged nine months to 36 months. They were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were boys' toys - a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls’ toys: a pink t eddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.Of the youngest children (nine to 14 months), girls spent much longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two-and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the children’s choice.Dr Brenda Todd said: “Child ren of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given ‘toys that go’ while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preference. But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer moving objects, probably through hunting instincts(本能), while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newbor n baby.”4. Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because .A. baby boys are much more activeB. baby girls like bright colors moreC. parents have an effect on their viewsD. there may be a biological difference5.Both baby boys and baby girls like to play with according to the study.A. a ballB. a teddyC. a carD. a doll6.What can we infer from Paragraph 3 ?A.Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with dolls at al l.B.Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls.C.Parents should teach their babies to share each other’s toys.D.The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is.7.What conclusion did Dr. Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?A. Adults bring about babies’ preference on purpose.B. Babies’ preference isn’t affected by social surroundings.C. Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting.D. Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted.CUncivilized behavior by passengers unacceptableFor the first time, airline passengers have been blacklisted for uncivilized behavior. Their names will remain onthe blacklist for one or two years, according to an announcement by the China Air Transport Association on Saturday. The blacklisting means they will not be able to travel by air until their names are removed from the list.Blacklisting passengers who disobey the rules for traveling by air and so place their own interests before everything else, including safety, has long been overdue (迟到的,延迟的).There have been frequent reports of passengers making a scene when their flight was delayed or when they believed that they were not treated as they should be on a flight.Yet it is natural for some flights to be delayed because of reasons such as bad weather or mechanical problems that need to be solved. However, some passengers seem to take it for granted that their flight must take off at the time stated on their ticket, and they even assume that the members of the cabin crew are simply there to do their bidding(嘱咐).They forget that they should behave themselves in the first place and that respect is reciprocal (相互给与的).There is no reason for them to be respected when they do not show enough respect for others.Observing rules can never be over-emphasized when it comes to flight safety. No one has the right to disregard the rules for any reason. Of course, airlines should provide quality services to meet the needs of passengers. Yet, even if passengers are not satisfied with the service provided, there is still no reason for them to flout the rules that are designed for the safety of all.The blacklisting of these three passengers should serve for others to know they have to toe the line (服从集体).8. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Never before have airline passengers been blacklisted.B. At no time should flights be delayed, whatever the reasons.C. Members of the cabin crew should be at the passengers’ service at any moment.D. If an airline passenger is blacklisted, he or she will never be allowed to travel by air.9.The underlined word “observing” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.A. abolishingB. violatingC. settingD. obeying10. According Paragraph 4, the author’s attitude towards some passengers is ________.A. TolerateB. CuriousC. CriticalD. Neutral11.

M:But this is the climax of my favorite TV series.Maybe our son is free now.Text5M:You said that your purse had been stolen.How did you get it back?W:At first I searched for it by myself and then I turned to my brother.Fortunately,on our way to the police station my mum found it at homeText6W:I’m going to visit my grandpa this weekend.Would you like to go with me?M:Maybe.But it depends.What does your grandpa do?W:My grandpa was a soldier,but he is retired.Now he does farming,like other people in the village.M:It’s wonderful to live in a village.People can enjoy the beautiful scenery,clean water and fresh air.W:But my grandma passed away a few years ago and my grandpa is alone there.That’s why I often visit him.Text7M:Hello,Mrs Smith.You look pale.What’s wrong with you?W:Yesterday when I got home from work I had a small headache,so I took some pills and went to bed early.This morning I felt I even couldn’t get up,so I called you.M:OK.Let me first take your temperature.Do you feel breathless or dizzy now?W:No,I just feel weak and sleepy.M:Don’t worry,Mrs Smith.You just have a high fever.I will give you some medicine,and your need to have a good rest and ask for leave by phone.W:Thank you very much.M:Lie down and I will get you a glass of water before I go.Text8W:Oh,climbing upstairs is almost killing me.I am out of breath now.M:You have put on a lot of weight recently;I think you should lose weight to keep healthy.W:Oh,I can’t stand eating too little,and exercise like running is too hard for me.I don’t like doing exercise by myself.M:I have a good idea;you can play badminton with us.We play badminton from6pm to8pm every weekday.And you can also do yoga on weekends.I know that Rachel is doing it,so you canW:That sounds great.I think I will enjoy that.I don’t have any yoga clothes or sports shoes.M:I am free today.What about going shopping together?I need a new badminton racket,too. Text9W:What’s your plan for this summer holiday,Michael?M:I’m planning to take a trip to Europe.And I think I need to make a detailed plan to make my trip a little easier.W:I remember that your neighbour is a travel agent.Maybe you can get some useful information from her.M:Yes,you’ve right.And my roommate Jack has also given me some advice.He suggested looking online for flight tickets at reduced prices.W:That’s a good idea.But if you want to travel first class to make your journey more comfortable, it’ll be very expensive.M:I certainly won’t.I’m more concerned about saving money.W:Then have you considered travelling by train?It’ll save you a lot of money.M:No.A train stops at every station.I don’t have enough time.Time is the most important thing. Text10W:Dear Shirley,I’m writing to you on behalf of London Teenagers’Help.Our group is an organization that raises donations for children who suffer in natural disasters.We have been working to help make a difference in their lives.A few days ago,great floods attacked Bangladesh killing at least242people,destroying crops and houses.At least5,000were injured and186,000were left homeless.The suffering of the people is extreme.They are badly in need of clothes,shelters and schools.Today,we do hope that you would be kind enough to help those children by sending the most generous donation.We look forward to whatever support you can provide.Thank you in advance for your generosity and kind support.If you want more information about our organization,you may visit WWW.Reading London teenagers online or contact us by phone at88909998.You can make a donation online.Yours,Sarah。

Do note that there is one word more than you need.It is believed that in such a petitive age, art education is close to an unnecessary part in schools today. However, most of the 41 that a student would gain out of a basic education in art are almost unbelievable.There has been years of research 42 in the importance of art education and what art education goals are. The studies prove that what students gain out of an art education is almost 43 , where any other course is concerned.A child whose parents are rich will naturally and very often be 44 to art, whether it is in the form of art pieces hanging at home or visits to fashionable art museums etc. This has again been seen over the years by researchers. At the same time, it has been noticed that exposure to art is something that is very 45 for children who belong to families with little money and they end up spending their childhood without forming any 46 with art.Art education goals in school therefore should be that 47 exposure to the wonders of art should be given to all students, whatever age group and whatevertheir family backgrounds are, because one never knows where talent might be 48 .However, art education goals have been slipping away from our education system for more twenty years now as people have begun to pay less importance to the 49 of art in their children’s lives. The reasons for this could be 50 budgets as well as stuffing of curriculum in classrooms s part of State mandates. Whatever these unfortunate reasons are, people have to once again realize art education goals and how they can actually be helping each student.III. Reading prehension (37%)Section A (15%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank w ith the word or phrase that best fits the context.We often praise science. It explains the world and makes our lives 51 through technology. One of the most exciting scientific 52 is artificial intelligence (人工智能,AI). This is an area in which scientists are working on 53 machines that think like humans.54 , one of the most famous scientists has a very dark 55 about this type of technology.“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the 56 of the human race,” said Profes sor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.Hawking is a well-known British physicist and the author of the bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. He gave his warning after 57 on the technology he uses to speak with. As Hawking 58 from a serious disease called ALS, he needs an AI puter to 59 . The puter learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the 60 he may want to use next.This is a basic type of AI, and is very useful, yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can 61 or surpass (超过) human intelligence. And it’s easy to 62 how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films display big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t pete ,” said Hawking.But not every scientist is 63 about AI technology. “I believe we will remain 64 the technology for a long time,” said Rollo Carpenter, the UK-based creator of Cleverbot, a software program that remembers past conversations. “The 65 of it to s olve many of the world’s problems will be realized.”In what direction do you think AI is heading? Should we be hopeful or fearful?51.A. richerB. easierC. busierD. worse52.A. fieldsB. modelsC. businessesD. lessons53 .A.discoveringB. deliveringC. creatingD. examining54.A. ThereforeB. HoweverC.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Tidying up the carMY younger daughter, Lauren, has a new car and she has managed to keep it spotlessly clean since she bought it in July.Lauren’s old car was messy. It was essentially a large garbage dump on wheels.I must admit that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree because until I got my present car, all of my many automobiles had been messy too.The worst thing about her car was that it took on water every time it rained. No one could ever find the source of the leak, which created a pool on the floor of the front passenger side. It also created tides: When I drove uphill, the water rushed to the back. When I drove downhill, the water rushed to the front.Four years ago, when I turned 50, I got a new car. I turned over a new leaf and, for the first time since I got my driver’s license, cleaned up my act. I gave my old car, which contained old leaves, to my wife, who in turn gave her car to Lauren. It’s the one Lauren was driving –and filling with so much stuff that there was barely enough room in the back seat for her little dog, Maggie – until she got her new car.A few weeks ago, Lauren decided to go car shopping. She went to a Volkswagen dealership because she had her eye on a Jetta. She had her other eye on my wallet.Anyway, she saw a xx model, which was shown to her by an automotive associate named Anthony. He spent a lot of time with Lauren each of the three or four times she visited the dealership, let me test-drive the car when I went to see it, and didn’t put any pressure on any of us. In short, Anthony gave used car salesmen a good name.But he was no match for Lauren when it came to negotiating the price, which he lowered to what she said she could afford and not a penny more.So now, at 25, which is half the age I was when I cleaned up my act, Lauren has done the same. Her car has been clean for almost three months. Even the dog is impressed.The downside (负面) is that my wife’s car is messy. And she wants a new one, too.66.By saying “I must admit that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”,the author means that ______.A. it’s mon for people to keep their old automobiles messyB. Lauren’s old car was messy because she didn’t like it at allC. he found it hard to figure out why Lauren’s old car was always messyD. the author used to treat his car the way Lauren treated her old car before he got his present one67.What was the biggest problem with Lauren’s old car?A. There was something wrong with the front passenger side.B. Leaks in the car created a lot of problems on rainy days.C. It was always over-packed and had barely enough room in the back seat.D. Its engine didn’t work well, making it hard to drive uphill or downhill.68.Which adjective best describes the writer’s tone in the article?A. Excited.B. Critical.C. Humorous.D. Doubtful.(B)There have always been a lot of monly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:I’ll never lo se weight – I e from a fat familyWrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs infamilies, and the main reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercise too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism (新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat. Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boringWrong! Anything will bee boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swiping, set yourself a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gainWrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and contin uing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild disfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If they don’t, re st and seek medical advice.69.What does the author think about being fat?A. It is the family genes that make people fat.B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.C. A diary of exercise can prevent people from being fat.D. It is the conseq uence of people’s unbalanced lifestyle.70.According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?A. By taking varied exercise.B. By choosing simple exercise.C. By doing regular exercise.D. By sticking to outdoor exercise.71.What is the author’s opinion about “No pain, no gain” in exercising?A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.B. Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.C. Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.D. Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.72.What is the purpose of the passage?A. To declare the importance of keeping fit.B. To clarify some misconceptions about fatness and exercise.C. To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.(C)Experiences change usWANT to improve your life? Then do something awesome.According to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, researchers have found that awe-inspiring experiences improve our prosocial behaviors, making us more generous and more humble. Awe-inspiring experiences make us more empathetic, allowi ng us to recognize another person’s emotional expressions better and respond with concern. And they make us more willing to engage with trust and connect with others.What kind of experiences can be called “awe-inspiring”? The examples mentioned by the journal include scuba diving, witnessing the birth of a child, watching a meteor (流星) shower, and visiting a forest. A man said he found it awe-inspiring to work with homeless people and witness their courage and kindness. Awe is an emotional response to something very large, says the article, and it challenges and expands our way of seeing the world.But the feeling of awe is felt differently by different individuals, and for different reasons. The deep blue ocean might inspire different feelings in a poetthan in a fisherman, for example. According to an article in The Atlantic, a xx study from Stanford University investigated several aspects of awe and came to an interesting conclusion: the feeling of awe changes the way you think about time. The study says an awe-inspiring experience is a moment so overwhelming (无法抗拒的) that time seems to stand still.When you look at or experience something awesome, like looking at a waterfall or a sky filled with stars, your mind is fixed on the present moment. Time seems to slow down, the Stanford researchers concluded, making you feel like you have more of it to spare. This makes you feel more patient, less materialistic, and more willing to help others.Other researchers believe awe is powerful because it takes us out of our own heads. “Awe makes our individual identity less important and gets us to think about things bigger than ourselves,” Paul Piff, assista nt professor of psychology at the University of California, told The Wall Street Journal. Piff has found that many simple things in life inspire awe –listening to a piece of music you haven’t heard before, going on a nature hike, or going to a pop concert. All you need to do is start noticing and marveling (对……惊叹) at the world around you.73.The underlined word “empathetic” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______.A. tolerantB. enthusiasticC. independentD. understanding74.The following things are mentioned as awe-inspiring experiences EXCEPT______.A. scuba diving or witnessing the birth of a childB. watching a meteor shower or visiting a forestC. listening to your favorite music or going to a pop concertD. looking at a waterfall or going on a nature hike75.How do awe-inspiring experiences change the way people think about time andmake them more prosocial, according to the research?A. By changing their emotional response to something large.B. By making them more focused on the present moment.C. By making them realize that life is too short to waste.D. By inspiring them to face the challenges ahead of them.76.According to Paul Piff, ______.A. awe is beneficial for social harmonyB. awe often es in an unexpected wayC. only adventurous experiences inspire aweD. awe makes us more confident in ourselvesIV.

2021-2022学年黑龙江省哈尔滨市第十一中学校高一下学期期末考试英语试题1. The world is waiting for you to explore. Where will you go next? Our editors pick four exciting destinations for the year ahead. Grab your bags and go!MaldivesWhy go now: Explore islands on the front lines of climate changeWhat to know: Maldives is the lowest-lying country on the planet and may disappear in decades due to the rising sea level. So forward-thinking green actions are a matter of survival. The Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve helps protect the Maldives’ coral reefs, which support many coral and fish species, as well as sea turtles, whale sharks, and other animals living in the ocean.Tasmania, AustraliaWhy go now: Go to an island t hat’s wild and beautifulWhat to know: Once considered a backwater(闭塞的地方),Tasmania is now one of Australia’s fastest-growing tourism destinations. The key to the attraction of Australia’s southernmost state is its natural beauty, which owes largely to the lasting green spirit of about half a million residents there.Kamchatka Peninsula, RussiaWhy go now: Jump through the Ring of FireWhat to know: Extending into the sea between the Japanese and Aleutian archipelagoes (群岛), Kamchatka is part of the Ring of Fire, the chain of volcanoes. And six separate areas of Kamchatka Peninsula are included within the Volcanoes of Kamchatka UNESCO World Heritage Sites.Guizhou Province, ChinaWhy go now: Step into villages almost untouched by timeWhat to know: The mounta inous region’s plentiful water and cool climate are draws for Apple, Huawei, and other tech powerhouses.

It wasn’t the speediest to ol, but Jean was never late to work. In fact, each school day she was the first teacher to arrive and the last teacher to leave.She took great care to plan instruction, create assessments, and decorate her classroom. Parents in the neighborhood would beat down the principal’s door to have their children arranged to her class. Jean could teach a mouse to read, and all her students passed into second grade with advanced vocabularies and language skills.One August, two sisters in high school did not want to enter foster care. They contacted their first grade teacher, Jean. Jean lived in quite an ordinary home with her son. Yet, she took the sistersin.Packed with children, the little blue Jetta sputtered, but they had a good laugh.One day, Jean spoke about her car, which she had driven for many years and had been old enough to retire. It was kind of dangerous for students to ride in such a car. She wanted a van. However, a new van was not within her ability. As a good friend, I listened to her concern.

Every day for a week, a strange, happy visitor would drop to play with Vanessa Prior’s pet dog Bobby. Prior thought Bobby had made a new dog friend. It seemed very friendly and got well along with Bobby. They would run after each other, play on the pool cover, gently wrestle or nap side by side.At first she thought it was a wild dog. But when she posted a photo of the two playing on her Facebook, a pet rescue center called her. The group told her the Atlanta Wolf Project had been trying to catch the wolf for months, but they failed. Prior gave them new hope.Because of the wolf’s friendship with her pet dog, it was likely to come back to her backyard. Researchers hoped Prior could help them. When they put some traps in the back of her yard, Prior got a very complicated feeling. She couldn’t describe what it was, but she was closely surrounded by it. The wolf would be in a safe place, but she would do something that harmed Bobby’s feelings.Researchers told Prior that they would take the rare, black wolf to the Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary where it would live with another wolf. They didn’t think it a fulfilling situation for a wild animal like a wolf to have a connection with humans’ life. They need to keep a natural awareness to humans and pets and keep to themselves.Wolf experts added they would look into the genetics of the animal to try to learn why it liked to get close to people and tried to play with their pets. Some experts believe it could have a history with well-meaning humans. Prior had not expected that she and Bobby should meet such a special and lovely wolf.

D.It will be sent to the wild to live with otheranimals.4. A long-nosed fur seal that was tagged in Tasmania as a baby seal has suddenly turned up in Victoria 25 years later, causing a rethink of how long the animal can survive in the wild.The male fur seal was tagged with an obvious “830” marking on its right side of the body in 1996. The marking recently caught the attention of Victorian wildlife officers who tried to find out where the seal was from and who once put the little seal there.“We were excited to respond to this call and gain important updated information from research activities done more than 20 years ago,” said the Tasmanian Environment Department marine biologist Sam Thalmann.“Scientists used to think the animals can live for at most 19 years, but this sighting of the fur seal 25 years after it was marked provides exciting new knowledge about the longest lifespan for wild fur seals in Australia.” Mr Thalmann said the seal also surprised there searchers in other ways. “We see a lot of old male fur seals that are past their best years of health and move along the Tasmanian coast as they reach their end of life, but this seal tells another story,” he said. “Unlike others, it may continue to live in good health for years to come.”Long-nosed fur seals are found around the coasts of southeastern Australia, southern NSW and New Zealand. The Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment said long-nosed fur seals were once close to complete disappearance due to the fur trade in the 1800s. But in 1987, the species reappeared in Tasmanian waters and formed a breeding group on Maatsuyker Island, about 10km off the state’s south coast. In the wild, seals are eaten by several species of sharks including the white shark.The species is now still protected and listed as rare under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act. But the number of this species is recovering fast. Now the total population in Tasmania is 4,000 to 4,500. About 1,000 baby seals are born annually there now. Australia-wide, the population is about 58,000.1. What did the officers think about long-nosed fur seals after knowing about this one?A.They have many secrets unknown to humans.B.They have the strong ability to live independently.C.They now have a much better living environment.D.They can live much longer than people once believed.2. What does the author mean by saying “this seal tells another story” in Paragraph 3?A.This seal is still in good physical condition.B.This seal is much older than other fur seals.C.This seal draws more attention from researchers.D.This seal never moves along the Tasmanian coast.3. What almost led to the complete disappearance of long-nosed fur seals?A.Having lost their natural homes. B.Being overhunted by humans.C.Being killed by the white shark. D.Suffering from climate change.4. How does the author most probably find the situation of long-nosed fur seals now?A.Risky. B.Hopeful. C.Worrying. D.Shocking.5. Collecting rainwater is important. It can help you save both money and the environment while preventing possible damage. 1 And lots of people have taken action to do it.2 Many people pay monthly for the water from the city water supply. Collecting rainwater can help you save part of that money. Why? You can use the rainwater to water your garden and wash your pets, houses, and cars without ever opening the city water supply.Plants can grow better. It’s a known fact that plants are not huge fans of tap water. Tap water is treated with numerous chemicals unfriendly to plants. But with rainwater, you’ll never have to worry about these chemicals. After all, rainwater is a natural source of water. It generally won’t harm plants. 3It can protect your property (房产) from rain damage. Too much rain may damage your home. 4 This is especially true if your house doesn’t have a water collecting system.The system can help direct rainwater away from your home to where you want to collect it, which also prevents water from flooding in your neighborhood.You’ll help clean natural waterways. Rainwater helps the ground stay clean. But when it runs along rooftops, streets, etc., it collects many pollutants. 5 However, by collecting the water, you can prevent a considerable percentage of the pollutants from reaching the natural waterways in your hometown.6.

Shortly after I graduated from college, I moved to a new state to start a full-time job. One day at work, I found myself wanting to go traveling. Once I’d saved up enough money, I decided it was theperfect opportunity to travel by myself for the first time in my life. So I quickly started doing research on where I’d like to go.I had never traveled alone before, so I decided to sign up for a guided group that was going to Thailand. This gave me a sense of security (安全). It felt like a great way not only to try being alone and meeting strangers but also doing something that sounded really fun for two weeks.The Thailand trip forced me out of so many comfort zones (舒适区) that ended up being one of the big turning points of my life. The time I spent in Thailand finding my way around airports and taxis alone, meeting a group of strangers, and doing rock climbing with them in often remote parts of the country, ended up being one of the greatest experiences of my life. Up until this point I had always been shy and very careful to avoid danger and mistakes, but this travel experience inspired me to become different. It showed me a brave, strong, and independent side of myself that went on to influence my life greatly when I returned home.When I got back, I pretty much dedicated my life to spending as much time as possible doing activities like climbing, hiking, or backpacking especially things that I once thought I wasn’t “capable of” or was “too scared of Today, about 6 years later, I’m an outdoor empowerment coach and backpacking educator.My trip to Thailand was just what I needed to make that change.

Smart Highway is a creative idea for smart roads of tomorrow: Smart Highway is the result of the teamwork between builder and developer Heijmans and designer Daan Roosegaarde.Among them, Glowing Lines, the world’s first light-emitting (发光的) highway, is a safe and environment-friendly road. The site of the pilot project is a part of the N329 Highway in Oss, located in the province of Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands.The road was built by Heijmans and was designed by Daan Roosegaarde, using light- emitting paints. The paints absorb ultraviolet light (紫外线) during the day and give it off for up to 10 hours at night. Solar energy panels (太阳能板) or other sources of power can provide energy to make sure that the road continues to provide light as required, despite weather or daylight hours.The Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path is a creative path, inspired by Van Gogh’s The Starry Night and designed by Daan Roosegaarde. There are thousands of light-emitting stones, giving visitors an experience of poetry and design. The path gets energy at daytime and emits light during the night. It is supported by LED light to make sure of safety, quality and light during the whole night. Art and technology merge in this new, public view. The bicycle path is 600 metres long and is part of the Van Gogh cycling path.The Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path is set up as a cultural and enjoyable road, based on the light-emitting technologies developed for the Smart Highway. Riding a bicycle at this site is a wonderful experience. Furthermore, the path is lit up in such an environment-friendly way without destroying the ecology. As a tourist attraction, the bicycle path also offers economic added value to the Eindhoven region: Visitors can experience the pathway in the evening and will likely stay in the region longer.1. What can we know about the Glowing Lines?A.It cannot provide light continuously in bad weather.B.It brings light pollution to the environment.C.It’s the result of the teamwork among builders, developers and designers.D.It’s the only highway in the world which can emit light.2.

What can we infer about the Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path from the last paragraph?A.It only attracts cyclists to Eindhoven.B.It should be built in other cities.C.It can promote the local economy.D.Its light has bad effects on ecology.4. What is the purpose of this text?A.To tell us what future roads are like.B.To show the history of the road development.C.To stress the high technology of the Netherlands.D.To introduce two smart roads.4. Cats are commonly seen licking themselves and animal companions. But once in a while your cat will lick you.“From birth cats explore the world through their mouths” says Anita Kelsey, a cat expert. T hough cats use their nose to smell, they also taste and analyze scent (气味) using their mouth to learn about things. When a cat licks you, it is trying to get more information about you.But more than that, cats lick who they like. “Cats lick us as a sign of closeness,” says Kelsey. “It’s a form of getting us clean as they do with other cats they have bonded with. They are also enjoying taking in our scent. They love armpits (腋窝), for example, as there is a strong scent there.”Addition to its affection for you, a cat might lick you for a variety of other reasons. To start with, if your cat is regularly coming at you with its tongue, maybe it wants to mark you as its person. What better way to tell other cats to back off than by painting you with the special perfume (芳香) from their mouth?To deal with stress of fear, cats also lick. This behavior is especially common in cats which were taken away from their mothers very early, but it can happen in any cat. If the behavior seems to worsen over time, or is accompanied by nervous body language, you need to ask your vet about treatment.It’s very sweet that your cat likes you, but sometimes the licking can get to be too much. Especially because the sandpaper tongue can really hurt! To keep your cat from licking you, you can draw its attention away by a toy, brushing it with a brush or simply walking away, or even just putting a cardboard box in the middle of the floor. It’s worth a shot!1. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A.Cats smell in two ways.B.Cats use their mouth more often than their nose.C.Licking is a way for cats to get themselves informed.D.Anita Kelsey knows cats quite well.2. How can a cat easily keep other cats away from its human friend?A.By following him whenever and wherever he is.B.By fighting off all the cats close to him.C.By using perfume to attract his attention.D.By covering him with kisses.3. For which purpose is a cardboard box placed before a cat?A.To take a funny picture. B.To give it a plaything to play with.C.To make a house for the animal. D.To set up a wall between you and yourcat.4. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage?A.Why Does Your Cat Lick You? B.You Know Little about Your CatC.Animals Are Our Friends D.Ways to Show Love5. When you are communicating, you spend nearly 60 % of your time listening to other people, but most people only absorb 25 % of what they hear. 1Be more present.Do you find yourself looking at your phone or following a TV show during a conversation with a family member or a friend? 2 You might think you are listening, even if you aren’t looking at the person, but the chances are that your attention is more divided.Be more inter active.Being a good listener doesn’t just mean you only let the other person speak. 3 Allow your questions to take the conversation forward and to leave enough room for the person to continue talking —you don’t want to hurry or pressure the person into saying anything.Train your emotional intelligence.The way you are able to manage your own emotions influences your ability to listen to other people.4 Learn to understand your own emotions, both the negative and positive feelings and be aware of your reactions when you are listening to someone. Emotional intelligence is especially important when you are listening to a critique (批评). You can’t let your emotions rule too much and even when you get emotional.Make note of the conversation.5 What have you and the other person got out of it? Make a note of the conversation, perhaps even list the key points as you are developing your listening skills. This not only helps you remember the discussion longer, but it also can teach you a lot about yourself and help you further improve your listening as well as communication skills as a whole.6. Near my house is a library. As an enthusiastic reader, the idea to be surrounded by books itself is ________. So I volunteered to ________ it, managing books. But never had I realized reading had such ________ until I met an old lady.One day I was arranging books when I heard a lady ________ something at the information desk, where I went to give ________.

2021-2022学年黑龙江省哈尔滨市第三十二中学高一下学期期末考试英语试题1. If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation" (代) of your mobile network. But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data(数据) faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things as well.For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag(延迟) . When the car "sees" an obstacle(障碍物) , it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions, However, it will be some time before it sends and receives this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer.5G could also be used to power the internet of things (IoT) , that is, a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology.The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically (自动地) place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.1. Which city was 5G tested for the first time?A.Beijing. B.Shanghai. C.Shenzhen.2. What can we infer(推测) according to the passage?.A.5G is widely used in China now.B.5G networks will make our lives more convenient.C.There are no symbols at the top of our phones.3. The writer uses self-driving cars as an example to.A.explain how 5G's fast speed can be helpfulB.warn about the possible dangers of self-driving carsC.explain how self-driving cars work4. What is IoT according to the passage?A.A robot that can do housework.B.An online store where you can buy anything.C.A large online network that connects things and people.5. Which sentence is right according to the passage?A.5G will help us buy eggs quickly.B.Robots can help us buy eggs online.C.Our refrigerator can order eggs online for us.2. Scrub, the pet cat of Jennifer’s, was found! It got lost five years ago. Jennifer looked for it everywhere but failed each time. She thought Scrub would never come back. But one day she got a call from an animal shelter (庇护所) and was told they had found Scrub!How did they know Scrub belonged to Jennifer? How did they know Jennifer’s phone number? All the information was available because of the microchip, a very small computer chip (薄片). It was placed under Scrub’s skin many years earlier.The microchip is usually placed under the skin of an animal’s shoulder to keep its ID number. Once the chip is in place, the pet does not feel it anymore. When lost pets are brought to animal shelters, people there use a special tool to look for the microchip and read the ID number on it, then they’ll call the microchip company to match the number to the information of the pet’s owner. This is how the shelter was able to tell Jennifer that they had found Scrub.Microchips have helped thousands of owners get their lost pets back. In New York, a dog named Roxy was missing for months. Then a woman found her on a busy street in New Jersey. No one knows how the dog got to a different state. However, thanks to her microchip, Roxy was soon returned to her grateful owner.In 2018, a couple got their cat George back after he had disappeared 13 years earlier! When George got lost, the couple tried everything to find him. They visited animal shelters every day for six months, made posters and even offered a $500 reward (酬金). As years went by, they thought George would never be back till they got the call from an animal shelter. Without the microchip, the cat would never be able to come home again.Microchips can not only work for a pet’s whole life but help lost pets no matter how far they’ve been away from home. This is why microchips may be just the thing to help bring missing pets back home.1. How did Jennifer find her pet cat?A.By visiting animal shelters. B.By offering a $500 reward.C.With the help of the microchip. D.With the help of a woman in New Jersey.2. Which statement about microchips is NOT true according to the passage?A.They are very small computer chips.B.They are under an animal’s skin of its shoulder.C.They can help the owners to find the long-lost pets.D.They can only work for a lost pet that’s far away from home.3. The right order of how animal shelters help lost pets return home is .①Get the ID number of the lost pet.②Call the owner to bring the lost pet home.③Look for the microchip of the lost pet.④Call the microchip company to match the number to the information of its owner.A.③①②④B.③④①②C.①③④②D.③①④②4. According to the passage, we can know that.A.the couple thought the microchip wasn’t helpful at allB.Scrub didn’t feel uncomfortable with the microchip in its bodyC.it took a long time to match Roxy’s ID number to her owner’s informationD.Jennifer herself found her cat according to the ID number on its microchip5.

Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: “Should I jump?” This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of same coin. 1 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.2 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. 3 So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward.Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. 4 They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 5 You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.Peter’s job was to examine cars when they crossed the frontier to make sure that they were not smuggling anything into the country. Every evening he would see a factory worker coming ____ the hill towards the frontier, ____ a bike with a pile of goods of old straw on it. When the bike ____ the frontier, Peter would stop the man and ____ him take the straw off and untie it. Then he would examine the straw very ____ to see ____ he could find anything, after which he would look in all the man’s pockets ____ he let him tie the straw again.

(每小题2分,满分20分)AIt’s wonderful to have a relaxing bath in mineral water while looking out over beautiful scenery.If you live in the US or are planning a visit,consider going to one of the two natural hot springs(温泉)in the western US:Travertine Hot SpringsAt the edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Bridgeport,California lie the Travertine Hot Springs.The orange,green,and red rocks and the mountains create beautiful views for you to enjoy while you bathe.Each pool is a different temperature, so you can find one that’s comfortable for you.These springs can easily be reached by car.Take Route395south from Bridgeport and turn left onto Jack Sawyer Road. In about a mile you’ll arrive at the springs.If you like to camp,you can camp along Jack Sawyer Road.Bagby Hot SpringsIn the middle of an ancient forest you’ll find the Bagby Hot Springs.At the springs there are wooden bathhouses,with both private baths and communal baths. Through a system of pipes the spring water is brought to the baths at a temperature of136degrees Fahrenheit.If that’s too hot buckets of cold water are also available to mix into the bathtub(浴缸)or to cool off with after your bath.Oregon,on Highway224.To get to the bathhouse there is a 1.5-mile walk from the parking lot through the beautiful M The Bagby Springs are about45minutes from Estacada,t.Hood National Forest.While in the area,make sure to visit Portland, which is known for its coffee,restaurants,and music.The best time to visit the two hot springs is in late spring,or in summer or fall.While in the area,check out the Curecanti National Recreation Area,where you can enjoy canoeing,fishing,bird watching,camping,and hiking.1.What does the underlined word in the3rd paragraph mean?A.sharedfortableC.personalmon2.The two springs are similar to each other in________.A.the temperature of the two springsB.beautiful views near the springsC.the walking distance from the parking lotD.the design of the bathhouses3.You’d better visit these springs in the following months except________.A.MayB.JulyC.OctoberD.December4.Where might we read this passage?A.A report.B.A paper.C.A magazine.D.A diary.BIt was winter but people were everywhere in London at the weekend.They were in T-shirts or sandals(凉鞋).Monday was another warm day,without a cloud in the sky,and in the late afternoon the light took on a magical,honey-coloured color.It brought to mind one of those summer evenings you experienced in childhood,when you’d be in the park all day and your parents let you stay out until bedtime,and you felt like you were doing something deliciously naughty just by being there.It wasn’t early summer:it was February.And the entire developed world has been attacking the global ecosystem(全球生态系统)for many years,and that’s how we go into this pickle.We should try to hold on to this fact that this is not supposed to be happening. Less than a month ago,there was a video of extreme(极端的)cold weather coming out of Chicago.Water poured from cups immediately froze on its way to the ground. OK,that was on the other side of the world,and its temperature was-11℃then.On Monday,though,the temperature hit20.3℃in Ceredigion,West Wales:the highest February temperature ever recorded in Britain and the first time the temperature had reached20℃in winter.This isn’t good,is it?The10hottest years on record have all happened within the past20years,the five hottest were the last five.Yet the beaches and the beer gardens fill up,while the papers describe the weather as wonderful.There were those who gave in to the heat wave a little too easily.They let themselves forget it was winter and found themselves,when the sun went down and the temperature dropped, suddenly shaking and unprepared for the cold.It feels uncomfortably like a symbol.5.What does the author want to do in the first paragraph?A.To introduce a beautiful summer.B.To encourage kids to play outside.C.To share his daily activities with us.D.To describe the scene of a warm winter.6.Why is Chicago’s weather mentioned?A.To compare it with that of London.B.To attract more people to Chicago.C.To show it is well-known for an online video.D.To encourage more people to post videos online.7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The author hoped people stayed indoors.B.The author worries about global warming.C.The papers misled the public in weather reports.D.The papers asked the public to prepare for the cold.CFacebook was running my life.But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo,and five minutes later my son asked me how many“likes”it had got.His question was a wake-up call.“Likes”are signs of acceptance and approval(赞同).I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.Before absorbed in Facebook,I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines.I checked in with friends through texts,emails and phone calls.To set a healthier example to my son,I deactivated my Facebook account.I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day,so I had to comeup with some new habits.I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me.I rediscovered knitting.I started taking yoga classes.I started to remember a few things.My body is fine just the way it is.I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble,and I will help them out.I do my best to be a good mother,and our son is happy and healthy.We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone.I felt completely present in the moment.The break left me feeling better about myself,my family,my home and my life.After a few weeks,I returned to Facebook.Now I look at the photos of my friends’kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family.I no longer have the desire to post updates often.It is not an addiction(上瘾)any more.8.What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook?A.Her poor health.B.Her son’s question.C.Her not receiving“likes”.D.Her mother’s phone call.9.What did the author do to change her life?A.She traveled around a lot for a year.B.She developed some healthy habits.C.She tried to make money for her holidays.D.She went to the gym as often as she could.10.What is the author’s attitude toward social media?A She supports them completely.B.She is strongly against them.C.She thinks they are useful but shouldn’t be overused.D.She thinks they are not harmful at all.第二节从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
2021-2022学年黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市高一下学期期末质量监测英语试卷1. Ten fitness exercises you can do at homeWalkingAn effective walking workout at home will help to strengthen your legs, while getting some low impact aerobic exercise as well. If you don’t have any stairs available, just walk around the house a few times —it may not be very exciting, but it will do the job!Jumping jacksThese are always fun, as they bring back memories of being a kid! Who hasn’t done jumping jacks for fun as a child? Well, surprise —they are also great cardio exercises, and good for warming up, too.Push-upsThese are probably not the most favorite exercise of many people, but while they can be hard to do, you can find easier ways to do them. You don’t need to pretend you’re “Rocky”, and do them with one hand: just do what works for you. Do them on your knees, instead of keeping your legs straight. Or, do them by standing up against a wall. You will build up arm strength and work out muscles in your chest area.Leg liftsThese are great for building up strength and muscles in your legs. If you find it hard to do the exercises with your legs straight, try bending them slightly.CrunchesIt’s the best exercise for building up and strengthening belly muscles. When you’re just getting started, don’t worry about getting your head all the way up. So long as you’re going up until you feel the stretching of the muscles, you will see some benefit.Jogging in placeJogging is a great exercise for your heart. You can jog in place at home while watching TV or listening to music. The only equipment you will require is a good pair of shoes, to eliminate any stress to your legs.SquatsThese are wonderful exercises for your legs and bottoms. You can even just try these by sitting and standing up again from a regular chair, if you’re finding them to be too difficult. As long as you’re able to do a few repetitions, you will provide some benefit to your body.DancingDancing is a wonderful exercise, which is great for your heart. Not only that, but it can lift your spirits as well, and give your overall feeling a boost.1. Which column does this article belong to if in the newspaper?A.Health. B.Entertainment. C.Travel. D.Advertisement. 2. If Tom wants to strengthen his chest muscle, which exercise is most suitable for him?A.Walking. B.Push-ups. C.Jumping jacks. D.Squats.3. What exercises are best for heart?A.Walking and Push-up. B.Leg lifts and Crunches.C.Squats and Dancing. D.Dancing and Jogging in place.2. Last weekend I visited a zoo with a friend. When we were there, we debated whether or not zoos were a good thing. When I was little, I liked going to zoos. Now, at the age of 20, I still enjoy visiting them. However, I am aware that there are lots of pe ople who don’t support these establishments.Animals welfare is a growing concern in today’s society. There are many people who believe that zoos are cruel. They argue that it is cruel to remove animals from their natural habitats and keep them in cages. An animal kept in a zoo will lead a life different from an animal that lives in the wild. For example, animals in zoos don’t have to hunt for food. Additionally, some animals become unhappy in zoos because there isn’t enough space. Zoos exhibit animals fro m places all over the world must therefore adjust to different climates and seasons, depending on the location of the zoo in relation to where they come from.For human visitors, however, a trip to the zoo can be an educational experience. When students learn about endangered species and are able to see them in a zoo, they are more likely to support projects designed to save these animals from extinction. Zoos are involved in many conservation projects: supporting zoos provides essential funding for these projects. Due to threats such as illegal hunting, there are many species which would be extinct if they weren’t kept in zoos. Moreover, many zoos attempt to replicate an animal’s natural habitat: a range of material is used to create a space that is similar to what would be found in the wild. Lots of toys are usually put in exhibitions to prevent animals from getting bored. Animals that live in tropical countries are typically housed indoors in heated tanks which are kept at a temperature similar to that of their natural habitat.Every zoo has a slightly different approach to animal care and welfare, but overall I think zoos are a good thing. Seeing animals in their natural habitat isn’t always possible and I think zoos offer a good alternative. A trip to the zoo is both educational and fun —I’ll definitely continue to visit zoos!1. Why do many people think that zoos are cruel?A.Animals have to leave from natural habitats and stay in cages.B.Animals don’t have plenty of food and enough space.C.Animals d on’t have the ability to adapt themselves to different climates.D.Animals have to face the cruelty in the zoo.2. Why can a trip to the zoo be an educational experience?A.Students have the chance to see endangered animals.B.Students will establish programs to raise money to support zoos.C.Students will learn how to keep endangered animals.D.Students are likely to support the project to save the endangered animals.3. Which word can perfectly take the place of the underlined one?A.Copy. B.Replace. C.Adjust. D.Assist.4. What is the author’s attitude towards zoos?A.Doubtful. B.Supportive. C.Uninterested. D.Disapproving. 3. Papastamatiou’s team studied gray reef sharks living in the waters off Palmyra Atoll, a sunken island ringed by reefs, in the central Pacific Ocean between the Hawaiian Islands and Fiji. They attached small location transmitters to 41 sharks, which allowed them to track the animals movements around the reef. After tracking the sharks for four years, the researchers found that the same groups of sharks frequently returned to the same parts of the reef over and over again. They also found that some of the groups stuck together longer than previous studies have observed.The sharks might be motivated to stay together, Papastamatiou says, because it makes hunting for food easier, “If we hang out together and I see something, then you can come and try and take advantage of that,” he says. “And alternatively, if you see something, then I can try and take advantage of that.”He emphasizes that the sharks don’t hunt together but says that as long as the group isn’t too large —which would raise competition and conflict—socializing appears to benefit the sharks. And that may be one of the factors that led to sociality in the species.David Shiffman, who studies shark ecology and conservation at Arizona State University, says he was surprised to learn the sharks stuck together for so long. “I mean, I don’t have a lot of friends I do that with,” he jokes.Sharks are amazing creatures, Shiffman says. In addition to knowing where to grab a bite by watching their friends, he says, some species of sharks can also learn to solve simple puzzles, just by watching other sharks solve them. Given their intelligence and social abilities, he s ays perhaps it’s time to drop prejudices about sharks. “It turns out that they are a lot smarter than other people think, and they have more complex social behaviors and more complex abilities to process their environment and learn and change,” Shiffman sa ys.1. Why do some sharks keep together?A.To go back to the same reef. B.To have fun.C.To scare other sharks away. D.To hunt for food with ease.2. In which group may sharks like socializing?A.A large group. B.A competitive group.C.A small group. D.A group filled with conflicts.3. What does the underlined phrase “do that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Be together. B.Go hunting. C.Swim in the sea. D.Find somethingfun.4. What can be inferred about sharks from their behaviors?A.They are intelligent. B.They are still developing.C.They are hiding themselves. D.They are becoming more dangerous.4. For most of my adult life, I’ve felt slightly ashamed —not of something I’ve done, but of something I haven’t. Although I’m an independent person who has been to numerous countries, I’ve never gone on an overseas holiday alone. I’ve traveled with my par ents, partners, kids and other families. I’ve travelled with my pet and joined tours where I knew no one but came out with lifelong friends.But for a while, my failure to travel alone felt like a mistake. Solo travel is celebrated. I’ve seen a thousand pieces written by adventurous women who claim to have found themselves by crossing countries alone. Traveling solo makes you capable, they say. It pushes you out of your comfort zone. Every woman should travel alone at least once in her life!And yet, I’ve never had an urge to do it. For one thing, I need a lot of people contact. A single day without meaningful conversation can leave me feeling depressed. Proper, engaging conversation is difficult when traveling alone. Even if you’re good at chatting with strangers, it isn’t always possible.I don’t want to worry about being alone on my travels. I want support and company during my adventures. I used to see this desire to be with others as some sort of flaw, but now I see it as a valid choice.Traveling solo builds resilience. But so does life. I am a single parent raising three children while trying to juggle a career. I make endless decisions alone and deal with crises alone. I manage loneliness and fear. I don’t need to travel alone to build resilience. I have resilience in spades, I’m sure travelling overseas would push me further out of comfort zone. But you know what else pushed me out of my comfort zone? Being single in a society that values marriage. Earning a living in a difficult industry. Dating me n I’ve met on an app. My life is effortful enough. I don’t need my travels to be effortful too.Travel is incredibly valuable, no matter what your stage of life. It teaches you how diverse the world is and how to appreciate your culture in relation to another. It stretches your mind and gives you a new viewpoint.And you don’t need a solo journey to become an independent woman. I assure you that life will get you there in the end.1. What does the author feel a bit ashamed of?A.Her lack of independence. B.Her failure to travel overseas.C.Not being adventurous enough. D.Not having travelled on her own abroad2. Why is solo travel applauded by adventurous women?A.It is both relaxing and empowering. B.They can better appreciate differentcultures.C.They get to know themselves better. D.It forces them to face their deepest fear.3. What does the author mean by saying “I have resilience in spades” in paragraph 4?A.She has had enough of resilience.B.She doesn’t want to travel solo with spades.C.She doesn’t need solo traveling to build character.D.She has gone through many difficulties in life to have great resilience.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Walking out of comfort zone B.Solo travel is unnecessaryC.Life is travelling solo D.Being an independent woman5. From time to time, even the most productive professionals procrastinate (拖延). 1 . When your tendency to procrastinate is starting to make your overall quality of work and life suffer, here’s what Forbes Coaches Council members recommend doing to stop racing the clock.2When you don’t feel motivated, take the smallest step possible toward your goal. After taking that step, you’re more likely to continue taking more steps toward that goal. Instead of telling yourself to work out for an hour, say you’ll go for 10 minutes.Give yourself a hard deadline, and then schedule itThe best way to overcome a natural tendency to procrastinate is to create a hard deadline for yourself and then put it on the calendar. 3 . Then honor it the same way you would as if your boss were waiting for you to complete the task.Understand the un derlying reasons why you’re procrastinating4 . Notice your thoughts, feelings, behaviors and the situation when you feel like procrastinating. Write these down. Often perfectionism, which we may experience as anxiety, underlies the tendency to postpone action.
