However,because Leonardo was born to parents who were not married to each other,he was barred from some studies and professions.He trained as an artist after moving to Florence with his father in the 1460s.It was an exciting time to be in Florence,one of the cultural capitals of Europe.Leonardo trained with one of the city's very successful artists,Andrea del Verrocchio.He was a painter,sculptor and gold worker.Verrocchio told his students that they needed to understand the body's bones and muscles when drawing people.Leonardo took the teacher's advice very seriously.He spent several periods of his life studying the human body by taking apart and examining dead bodies.While training as anartist,Leonardo also learned about and improved on relatively new painting methods at the time.One was the use of perspective（透视）to show depth.A method called "sfumato" helped to create a cloudy effect to suggest distance. "Chiaroscuro" is a method using light and shade as a painterly effect.Leonardo's first known portrait now hangs in the National Gallery in Washington,D.C.He made this painting of a young woman named Ginevra de' Benci around 1474.The woman has a pale face with dark hair.In the distance,Leonardo painted the Italian countryside.He soon received attention for his extraordinary artistic skills.Around 1475 he was asked todraw an angel in Verrocchio's painting The Baptism of Christ.One story says that when Verrocchio saw Leonardo's addition to the painting,he was so amazed by his student's skill that he said he would never paint again.4.What does the underlined word "barred" mean in Paragraph 2？______A. Saved.B. Stopped.C. Protected.D. Separated.5.What made Leonardo interested in studying the human body？______A. His own desire.B. His parents' request.C. His teacher's suggestion.D. Successful artists' direction.6."Sfumato" and "Chiaroscuro" are mentioned in the text to show ______ .A. the ways of art trainingB. Andrea's teaching methodsC. the difficulty in learning artD. Leonardo' devotion to learning7.What resulted in Leonardo' first fame？______A. Ginevra de' Benci.B. The Baptism of Christ.C. Andrea's appreciation.D. The Italian countryside painting.CFood waste is one of the greatest challenges of our time,and fruits and vegetables are particularly problematic,as an estimated 52% of harvests go bad before reaching consumers.But one Malaysian company claims to have come up with a simple and effective solution to this problem—a tiny sticker（粘贴标签）that stops fruits spoiling for two weeks. You've probably seen stickers on fruits before,but not like the ones created by Stixfresh.Those common stickers are used only to provide consumers with information about the grower and how the fruit was grown,but Stixfresh has a different purpose.It contains a special,all-natural way that slows down the ripening process,keeping the fruit fresh and juicy for much longer. Stixfresh are made with 100% organic materials and contain a mixture of ionized（电离）Sodium Chloride and beeswax,which helps slow down the bacterial activity in the fruit,thus delaying the ripening process.The company insists that the stickers are so safe that you canactually eat them.Stixfresh founder Zhafri Zainudin says that he came up with the idea for the stickers four years ago,after visiting a friend who sold fruit.The man complained about losing money every day due to spoiled fruits,but seemed resigned（顺从的），as he knew there was no way to stop nature taking its course.However,the Malaysian entrepreneur had another idea."It got me to thinking.Maybe I couldn't stop nature,but could I slow it down？" Zainudin writes on his company's website.The Malaysian businessman partnered with Selangor University to develop and test his stickers.It took him three years to perfect the manufacturing process and effect of his innovative product.Originally,Stixfresh stickers were only used to prolong the shelf-life of mangos,but the company later realized that they also worked on other fruits of the same size and with similar texture,like dragon fruit and pears.8.What is the problem with fruits and vegetables？______A. They rot away before sale.B. They are wasted by consumers.C. They aren't ripe enough before harvests.D. There are too many of them to be eaten in time.9.What is special of the sticker created by Stixfresh？______A. It records the products growing information.B. It contains information of growing products.C. It shows how to delay their ripening process.D. It tells ways to use organic materials properly.10.Zhafri Zainudin mentioned his visit to a fruit seller friend to show ______ .A. his friend's poor lifeB. his good relationship with himC. how he cared about fruit salersD. how the stickers came into being11.Which of the following do Stixfresh stickers go for？______A. Apples.B. Grapes.C. Bananas.D. Watermelons.DLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years,but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated byhunter-gatherers,small,tightly knit （联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago,when the world had just five to ten million people,they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them. Soon afterwards,many of those people started settling down to become farmers,and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In recentcenturies,trade,industrialization,the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education,especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades,all have caused many languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present,the world has about 6，800 languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages,often spoken by many people,which hot,wet zones have lots,often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1，000；Africa 2，400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number （中位数）of speakers is a mere 6，000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages and close to extinction（消亡），with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick,at random,Busuu in Cameroon （eight remaining speakers），Chiapaneco in Mexico（150），Lipan Apache in the United States （two or three）or Wadjigu in Australia （one,with a question-mark）：none of these seems to have much chance of survival.12.What can we know about languages in hunter-gatherer times？______A. They disappeared soon.B. They had most speakers.C. They were large in number.D. They were mixed together.13.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2？______A. Why many languages disappeared.B. How languages became more settled.C. What happened in the past few decades.D. How many dominant languages formed.14.What is the general rule of the distribution of languages？______A. Asia has the most languages in the world.B. Hot,wet zones have the fewest languages.C. Half of the world's population speak 6，000 languages.D. Mild zones have more people speaking fewer languages.15.Which of the following can be the best title？______A. The Worldwide Distribution of LanguagesB. The Development of Languages in the WorldC. Human Development Results in Fewer LanguagesD. Location Decides the Number of Language Speakers二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共15.0分）What do you want to be when you grow up？Perhaps you've been asked the question some times.When you are asked the question,did you have an answer at the ready？（1）______ We all have dreams of becoming something great,like a fireman,a teacher,or a rock star.Well,how did you do？Maybe you never desire to be what you set out to be or said that you would become. （2）______ The older we get,our tastes change,our view of the world changes,even our goals change.One of the most important lessons I've learned during my career path is to do something you love to do.I feel that if you enjoy what you make a living at,you end up being happy in more ways than one. （3）______While no job or business is perfect,the important thing is to enjoy it,even learn from it.If you are unhappy in your current situation,why not take steps now to change it？Somewhere out there is a job or business that is perfect for you.（4）______ If not,realize that it may take some time to figure out what you really want to do,and even more time to actually get there.That's all right!I can tell you from experience that finding and doing what you love are absolutely worth it.All of the research,training,and hands-on experience have made me a stronger,happier person.

山西省高一下学期期末英语试卷(含有答案解析）（满分：150分；考试时间：120分钟）学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The world is a splendid place, full of hidden and overt beauty in every corner. Here are some of the most beautiful places around the world.Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, UgandaBwindi Impenetrable Forest is one of the last harbors of the mountain gorilla (大猩猩). Several hundred call this UNESCO World Heritage Site home, with the chance for visitors hike and meet habituated groups. Its biodiversity extends far beyond its most famous inhabitants. However -almost 350 bird species and around 220 butterfly species can be found within its 331-square-kilometer expanse.Samburu, KenyaThanks to its relative inaccessibility in the heart of Kenya, Samburu is a haven (避难所) for some of Africa’s most charming wildlife. The grassland and acacia-dotted landscapes of its national reserve are home to the endangered giraffe and zebra, as well as the pioneering Elephant Watch Camp.Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, ChinaChina’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province is known for its towering sandstone pillars (柱子). Best explored on foot, its back trails make for an easy way to escape the crowds and find the best views. As the mists fall, it’s easy to sea why this area has long been an inspiration for traditional Chinese paintings.The MaldivesThe sand of its 1,200 islands is as white as it gets, and the water is a deep blue that puts all other seas in the shade. The Indian Ocean nation of the Maldives has developed into the world’s premier tropical hot spot for a reason. Best of all, there are plenty of beaches to go around, with over 100 private resorts and welcoming, affordable guesthouses around the Male and Ari atolls.1．What makes Samburu a haven for wildlife?A．Its landscape. B．Its location.C．Its climate. D．Its food.2．What do Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Zhangjiajie National Forest Park have in common?A．They are home to gorillas.B．They have more than 350 bird species.C．They are on the World Heritage Site List.D．They are inspirations for traditional paintings.3．Which of the following suits beach-lovers?A．Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. B．Samburu.C．Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. D．The Maldives.Last weekend, my husband and I drove a dog to her new home. Typically, when we have a new dog in the backseat, it’s a young dog. But this passenger was a much different story. Magdalen is a 13-year old dog. Her owner gave her up temporarily when he was sick, but when he fully recovered several months later, he said he didn’t want her back. He had her since she was young but now had no place for her.The family who had given her a temporary home had children and other dogs and was unable to give her a forever home. When Speak St, Louis, the rescue team I work with, was contacted about the dog, they offered to take her in. She went to a vet (兽医) for a basic health check. But the vet didn’t have great news. Her mouth was swollen (肿胀的) with all sorts of problems. Two teeth fell out during cleaning and eleven more had to be pulled out.Luckily, a good friend of mine, a dog trainer with a soft heart for seniors, had agreed to adopt Magdalen. On the trip to the trainer’s home, the sweet senior looked so relaxed in our backseat. I felt a great sense of relief and pleasure.Her owner needed some temporary help when he was sick. But I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t have wanted her back. I think of my own dog and dogs we lost to old age in the past. We’re family and we stay that way forever. She’d be able to live a good life. I hoped, in her new home!4．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The former owners of the dog.B．Where the dog was treated.C．What the dog needed most.D．The problems the dog met.5．What is the author’s job?A．Training old dogs.B．Treating sick dogs.C．Looking for homes for dogs.D．Looking for lost dogs’ owners.6．How did the author feel on her way to her friend’s home?A．Relieved and happy. B．Nervous and grateful.C．Surprised and curious. D．Hopeful and proud.7．What does the author think of Magdalen’s owner giving her up?A．She didn’t understand his behaviour.B．She believed it was painful for him.C．She was certain he would regret.D．She thought he made a wise decision.Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this, tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, bow ever hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can - then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.8．What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A．Writing essays in strict order.B．Building up physical strength.C．Leaving out the toughest ideas.D．Dealing with the hardest task first.9．On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue? A．Before starting a difficult task.B．When all the solutions fail.C．If the job is rather boring.D．After finding a way out.10．According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________ . A．ignore mental problemsB．get some nice sleepC．gain complete reliefD．find the right solution11．What could be the best title for the passage?A．Success Is Built upon FailureB．How to Handle Performance FatigueC．Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD．Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health ProblemsKite surfing is a sport that takes place on the surface of the water, on top of boards that are similar in design to wakeboards (尾波滑水板), with the surfer pulled by a kite. The popularity of kite surfing has grown, although it is rather difficult to master. Kite surfing uses the same equipment as kite boarding, but is generally given more to riding on top of waves, rather than on smaller lakes or other calm bodies of water.Early experiments in kite transportation took place through the 19th century, and at the dawn of the 20th century Samuel Cody crossed the English Channel using kites and a small boat. Kite surfing itself, however, wasn’t really born until the late 1970s. Beginning in that decade, more people became involved in using kites for personal transport and sport. Kite technology itself advanced enormously during the 1970s, with kites becoming much more controllable.The early kite surfing was rather accidental, but innovators continued to develop the technology to make it easier to control and safer. By the late 1990s, kite surfing was becoming popular off the coast of Maui, France and throughout the world. In 1997, a special kite system was built specifically for kite surfing, which helped kite surfing into the mainstream.Because of the high speeds and the dangers, it is generally recommended that would-be kite surfers take at least a few basic classes to learn the fundamentals.The main attraction of kite surfing is the potential for amazing tricks. The kite allows the surfer to experience enormous jumps, flying through the air for large distances before hitting the water in a controlled fashion. Like skateboarding, kite surfing makes use of a number of board grabs, with complex tricks possible due to the long period of time the surfer can remain in the air.12．What does the author mainly intend to tell us in Paragraph 1?A．What is kite surfing. B．Where to go kite surfing.C．How to enjoy kite surfing. D．Why people like kite surfing.13．In the 19th century, people intended to use kite for ________.A．sport B．experimentC．entertainment D．transportation14．What can we know from the third paragraph?A．Kite surfing often leads to accidents.B．Maui is home to kite surfing.C．Kite control is the key to kite surfing.D．Kite surfing came into being in the 1990s.15．What is most charming for people surfing?A．Its potential for tricks. B．Its long time in the air.C．Its speed across the water. D．Its big distance over the water.二、七选五Here’s How To Have A Calmer Sunday NightFor most people, the end of the weekend isn’t a welcome time. 16 .

A science reportC. A story bookD. A fashion magazineBOnce built to keep invaders out, the Great Wall, one of China’s best-known faces, has now become a platform to bring people together. For Taylor, an 11-year-old Australian schoolgirl, it is a magic ladder which can carry her closer to her dream.Taylor was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), a disorder that affects movement and coordination. But her willpower has sent her to perform missions to create the public awareness about the disorder and raise funds for peopleliving with it.In March 2020, she climbed Mount Kosciuszko, the highest mountain in Australia at 2,229 meters above sea level. When her mother Toni asked her what her next goal was, she answered: “Mount Everest might be a little too hard right now, but maybe the Great Wall.”On June 6th this year, her wish came true. With her walking aid and the support of her parents and sponsor, accompanied by a group of primary school volunteers from Beijing, Taylor realized her dream in China by climbing the part of the Great Wall known as Mutianyu despite rain and cold.Taylor moved ahead slowly yet steadily, and with determination. When the stairs were too steep to climb on her own, her parents lifted her, encouraging her to keep going.The journey started near Watch Tower No.14, somewhere in the middle of the Mutianyu Great Wall. In the tower, Taylor carefully listened to the guide saying the long history of the Great Wall. Then she went to a little window in the tower to look at the beautiful view below.Dougal Cameron, a volunteer who accompanied Taylor on her Great Wall trip, said he was inspired by her. “It was obviously painful for her to walk so far along the Great Wall. She is amazing,” he said.The trip to the Great Wall was very strange for Toni. “We are so grateful for all the support Taylor received from all corners of the world,”she said.24. What does “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The platform.B. The ladder.C. The Great Wall.D. The disorder.25. Why did Taylor decide to climb the Great Wall?A. To challenge her own courage.B. To make more new friends in China.C. To know better about Chinese history.D. To arouse the public consciousness to help people like her.26. What can we know about Taylor’s trip to the Great Wall?A. Taylor climbed the Great Wall by herself.B. Taylor got the support from many people when climbing.C. Taylor was carried by her parents to climb the Great Wall.D. Taylor once wanted to give up climbing the Great Wall.27. What did Dougal Cameron think of Taylor?A. Tired.B. Strong.C. Talkative.D. Easy-going.CDon’t we all know a “Happy Meal” when we see the famous boxed meal that includes a hamburger, a kid-sized portion of fries, fruits and milk, served with a toy that’s extremely popular with children who love to collect them?But collectors of these little toys will soon be in surprise. For the book lovers though, there is some good news. McDonald’s will replace the plastic toys with books. However, each of these books will mainly pass on nutritional messages.Do you know that McDonald’s has been marketing the boxed kid’s meal since 1979? Happy Meals are extremely popular with kids, especially for its collectible toys, when you consider that over 1.3 billion of these packages are sold each year! These packages have been very controversial. Health supporters believe that drawing kids to these meals with toys is a clever way of facilitating unhealthy food choices. They see it as an advertising strategy of “catching its young customers” that has paid off very well forthe fast food company.Child development experts say that food habits get formed in children by age six and continue through to their adult life. Fatty and sugary foods such as those served in Happy Meals are believed to play a big role in growing health problems such as obesity and diabetes. Public health care costs have gone up and untold amounts of money have been spent on caring for obesity and other health problems. In 2020, the State of California tried to ban toys in Happy Meals. But it was strongly opposed by some people, and the ban was thrown out by the government.While some people believe that McDonald’s, with its large following of children, can create a powerful message through the books, others believe its actions are contradictory. Anyway, the company is trying to spread the message of nutrition while it is serving food that is anything but healthy.28. According to the first paragraph, the aim of the question raised is to_________.A. persuade readers to buy the boxed mealB. give a surprise to book loversC. make readers laughD. get readers’ attention29. Books will be added into Happy Meals to__________.A. help young kids learn to read and writeB. introd uce the history of McDonald’sC. have kids learn more about nutritionD. encourage more kids to read books30. What does the underlined word “facilitating” mean in Paragraph 3?A. Promoting.B. Selling.C. Giving up.D. Dealing with.31. In the autho r’s opinion, Happy Meals___________.A. bring much fun to childrenB. do no good for children’s healthC. are popular with adultsD. teach children a lot about nutritionDMarch 8th marks the annual International Women’s Day. Around the world, women usually played a not well-known role in history. They were often buried with their unknown talents and amazing tales. Yet there are still some lucky ones whose stories have been recorded. Here are four talented ancient Chinese women who once impressed in their time, and still affect us in our time.Praised as the “No.1 talented woman”, Li Qingzhao, a poet from the Song Dynasty, was born in Shandong province. She excelled at poetry and in ink painting and calligraphy (书法). Li was most well-known for her poems, which were divided into two contrasting styles reflecting her life as a married woman and a widow. Before her husband’s death, her poems were mainly about a carefree and happy life. The keynote turned into a sad tune after her husband passed away. However, Li was not a narrow-minded woman. Apart from expressing feminine feelings and experiences, she also wrote poems praising war heroes and criticizing the corrupted emperor. As an example of female patriot, Li has a great effect on modern women’s literature.Cai Wenji was good not only at poetry and calligraphy, but also mathematics, astronomy, debate and music. Her masterpieces were Hu Jia Shi Ba Pai. As the daughter of literatus Cai Yi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai had a very unusual life. After her first husband died, she was forced to marry Xiongnu tribe’s king. Living in a totally different environment, Cai missedher home a lot. Twelve years later, Cao Cao, a student of Cai Yi, rescued Cai from the Xiongnu tribe. At the age of 35, Cai got married for a third time in a union arranged by Cao to a man named Dong Si.Ban Zhao was the first female historian in China. She was also good at writing poems, yet only seven of her works have survived. Ban was often invited by the emperor to teach the queen mathematics, astronomy and poetry. She was honored as Da Gu, a title for knowledgeable and noble women. At the age of 40, Ban finished Han Shu, based on her brother’s writings. A total of four people wrote the book, and Ban, as the last writer, faithfully kept the style of the first three. Ban Zhao also wrote Nv Jie, a book to teach women how to deal with relationships with their husbands and husbands’ relatives and how to properly behave.Shangguan Wan’er was famous for being given an important position by the only female emperor, Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. Despite Shangguan’s grandfather being killed for offending Wu, she was highly praised by the female emperor for her literary talent. She served as a key secretary to Wu and was called “a female prime minister” at the time. Shangguan changed court poetry so that it used more meaningful expressions than empty praise, and further developed her style based on her grandfather’s poems.32. These four talented ancient Chinese women were chosen by the author because ______.A. they were buried with amazing talesB. they were of decisive importance in historyC. only their stories have been recordedD. they still have great influences on us33. According to the second paragraph, we can infer that ______.A. Li Qingzhao has effects on modern women’s literature greatlyB. Li Qingzhao thought she was No.1 talented womanC. Most of Li Qingzhao’s poems were about war heroes and the emperorD. Li Qingzhao’s poems were influenced by her husband’s death34. What did Ban Zhao and Shangguan Wan’er have in common?A. Both of them were thought highly of by their emperors.B. Few of their poems have survived for people to read.C. They developed their poems’ styles based on others’ writing.D. Both of them were praised for writing history books.35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. Cai Wenji was the daughter of literatus Cai Yi of the Western Han Dynasty.B. Being forced to leave her hometown made Cai Wenji homesick.C. Ban Zhao wrote Nv Jie mainly to teach women to behave themselves.D. Shangguan Wan’er was given the position mainly because of her grandfather’s devotion to the emperor.第二节：（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

山西省高一下学期期末考试英语试卷(带答案解析）（满分：150分；考试时间：120分钟）学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The village of Hallstatt in Austria is a collection of old buildings. In summer, the mountains are green and the village is lovely. In winter, it’s like something out of a snow-covered fairy tale. Now it is being overrun with tourists, partly because it looks like the village from the movie Frozen. The town’s mayor is actually hoping that many tourists will stay away.Hallstatt is small. Fewer than 800 people live there. But the number of visitors who arrive each day is huge — up to 10,000 visitors a day. Hallstatt’s popularity first began when it became a World Heritage Site in 1997. But the number of visitors increased quickly after the release of Disney’s movie Frozen in 2013. Though much of Frozen was based on life in Norway, Hallstatt looks a lot like Arendelle, the main village in the movie. Some people believe that Arendelle was based on Hallstatt.Much of the tourism is driven by social media. Many of the visitors seem mainly interested in taking photos with the village in the background. Some local people feel stressed about it. With 10,000 visitors a day, that’s over 12 tourists for every person in Hallstatt. One man said his mother had woken up one day to find tourists in her bedroom.The mayor would prefer to have fewer tourists. He thinks the town would be just fine with about one third fewer visitors each year. Starting from this year, Hallstatt will begin a program to reduce the number of buses bringing visitors to the village.Before the tourism boomed, local people would leave Hallstatt to find work. Now many people depend upon the tourists for their living. Hotel rooms can cost between $350 and $450. And it costs over one dollar to use the public bathroom in Hallstatt. With 10,000 visitors a day, even toilets can be good business.1．What do we know about the village of Hallstatt in Austria?A．It has appeared in many famous movies.B．It is beautiful but crowded with tourists.C．It has a small population for its bad weather.D．It is an old village with poor customer service.2．What did the man mentioned in Paragraph 3 want to express?A．Visitors were welcome to stay at local homes.B．Local life was badly influenced by visitors.C．Social media brought visitors to his village.D．The locals had a close relationship with visitors.3．Which of the following best explains the word “boom” in the last Paragraph? A．Sigh. B．Drop. C．Decline. D．Rocket.4．What can we conclude from the text?A．Hallstatt is having fewer visitors for the high cost.B．Local people are satisfied with their life in Hallstatt.C．Tourism brings both trouble and benefits to local people.D．Local people have difficulty improving the housing service.Marie Lantelme! The name struck me from somewhere in the back of my mind. Miss Lantelme, as I called her in my youth, worked as a librarian at the East Meadow Public Library when I was a pre-teen girl.On one occasion, in search of a book to read, I walked slowly over to the desk taken up by a librarian-Miss Lantelme. Serious, polite, and speaking with the voice of a professional(专业的) librarian, she asked what kind of book I liked to read.I thought about it for a few seconds and replied, “Mysteries(悬疑小说).” When I first learned to read, my grandfather gave me a book called The Smugglers of Sandy Bay. It was written by Ruth Holberg and still takes a place in my book collection.I sometimes hold it in my hand to reconnect with its mystical power.Miss Lantelme told me to follow her, and she led me into the mystery part and pointed me in the direction of books written by Agatha Christie. Miss Lantelme handed me a book called The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I will not tell the ending to anyone who has never read that book, but I loved the surprise that I never saw coming. Everyweek I dug deep into the works of that uncommon writer whose stories still attract me now.On one occasion, Miss Lantelme handed me a book written by John le Carre. The title of the book is The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. For years, I waited for each new book by the recognized master of spy thrillers. Of course, I wished Miss Lantelme to hand the new mystery of John le Carre to me.All these memories flashed through my mind while I sweated my way through my work—out of breath, giving thanks to the librarians of the world, like Miss Lantelme, who gave me a lifetime of joy, not only the stories.5．What made the author interested in mysteries?A．The book her grandfather gave to her. B．The unknown feeling of a pre-teen girl.C．The professional service of Lantelme. D．The opinion her grandfather gave to her.6．What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3?A．She was interested in Agatha’s works B．She took exercise around the library.C．She bought a book from Lantelme. D．She went to Lantelme’s home. 7．Which is the best title for the text?A．An Impressive Book B．Lifelong Joy from My GrandfatherC．A Happy Memory for the Books D．Three Books the Author Wanted to ReadFamous Drama Theater Performances In The WorldTheater is indeed one of the arts which will usually be staged in opera houses with various stories that they will pick up.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported the US throws away more than 11 million tons of clothing every year. That is why some small businesses spotting the problem are beginning to recycle in ways they haven’t before.Create Good Company is a clothing company that tries to produce sustainable clothing and repurpose older clothing into updated fashionable items. Maggie Hendricks, the owner of Create Good Company, said, “If you can improve what you find, why wouldn’t you do that instead of buying new things? It’s a big issue not to create new waste. I would say we are 90% recycled materials.”According to the EPA, the average consumer(消费者)throws away 81.5 pounds of clothes every year. “Anywhere between 10%-17% of the waste that’s going into landfills(废弃物填埋场)is made up of things like textiles and clothing,” said Danny Katz with the CoPIRG Foundation. “A lot of the clothing that we’re producing doesn’t even get worn, so it’s going right to the landfill or even being burned and contributing to pollution that way. It’s really worrying.”This is why businesses like Create Good Company exist —to use outdated clothing and turn it into dresses or jackets. “There’s just so much waste and so many big companies that might not think about it,” Hendricks said. “Just standing with other like-minded people who are interested in sustainability is important.”Another important element Hendricks has focused on is creating these items and selling them at an affordable price. “Sustainability sometimes is green washed in companies and they make things more expensive,” Hendricks said. “That’s not how we become a sustainable world. I think making products affordable is important to me. I want to buy things that are better for the environment without throwing my pocketbook in the fire.”11．What makes Danny Katz worried?A．The use of old clothing. B．The cost of textile pollution. C．The effect of clothing waste. D．The future of the textile industry.12．What does Hendricks care more about when it comes to a sustainable product? A．Its price. B．Its sales.C．Its producer. D．Its quality.13．What is the best title for the text?A．The EPA’s measures to reduce textile waste.B．Consumers being aware of the seriousness of textile waste.C．Textile businesses’ social responsibility and their waste.D．Small businesses working to prevent textile waste.二、七选五MuzakThe next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 14 . It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.Quiet background music used to be called "elevator (电梯) music" because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name "Muzak". About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 15 .If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 16 .Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak doeswhat it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 17 . Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.18 . They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But otherpeople enjoy hearing Muzak in public places.

AChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied(陪伴) my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycleseat and started home.My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack〞 of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.1. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.2. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _______.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local cultureD. to improve his riding skills3.How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.4. Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.BIt was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.〞At the front of the supermarket, a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,〞 he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with this sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,〞 she repli ed. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.〞 By now paramedics(急救人员) had arrived, and were attending to the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.〞At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so mu ch, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.〞The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.5.What dose the author intend to tell us?A. One can never be too careful.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Love begins with a little smile.D. A small act of kindness brings a great joy.6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.B. Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower gained his mo ther’s support.C. Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.D. The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture.7. The und erlined word “intimidated〞 in the fourth paragraph probably means “___________〞.A. astonishedB. struckC. frightenedD. excited8. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Flower’s PowerB. Mother’s DayC. An Accidental InjuryD. An Embarrassing MomentC9. How much would Marilyn and Paul have to pay before moving into the advertised office?A. $900.B. $1,750.C. $1,800.D. $3,500.10. What does the advertised office have that the current office doesn't?A. A kitchen.B. A bathroom.C. A parking area.D. A reception area.11. When does Paul want to see the office?A. Monday.B. Tuesday.C. Wednesday.D. Thursday.DStephen William Hawking(1942.1-2021.3), was a theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge. Having spent his career decoding the universe and even experienced weightlessness, he was urging the continuation of space exploration —for humanity’s sake. The 76-year-old Hawking once said he did not think humans would survive another 1,000 years “without escaping beyond our fragile 〔脆弱的〕planet.〞The scientist made the remarks before an audience of doctors, nurses and employees at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he toured a stem cell laboratory that’s focused on trying to slow the progression of Lou Gehrig’s disease.Hawking was diagnosed (诊断) with the neurological disorder 55 years ago while studying at Cambridge University. He recalled how he became depressed and at first didn’t see a point in finishing his PhD. But he continued to devote himself to his studies.“If you understand how the universe operates, you control i t in a way,〞he said. Famous for his work on black holes and the origins of the universe, Hawking was also well-known for bringing abstract physics concepts to the masses through his best-selling books.Hawking survived longer than most people with Lo u Gehrig’s disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ALS attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord(脊髓) that control the muscles. People gradually have more and more trouble breathing and moving as muscles weaken and waste away. There’s n o cure and no way to reverse (倒转) the disease’s progression. Few people with ALS live longer than a decade.Hawking received around-the-clock care, could only communicate by twitching his cheek, and relied on a computer mounted to his wheelchair to convey his thoughts in a unique robotic monotone.Despite his diagnosis, Hawking remained active. In 2021, he floated like an astronaut on an aircraft that created weightlessness by making parabolic(抛物线) dives. “However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do.〞he said.12. Why did Hawking remark that humans will not survive another 1,000 years?A. To warn the earth may not be suitable to live on.B. To make his theory on cosmology widely accepted.C. To show the earth is becoming more and more fragile.D. To persuade human beings to further space exploration.13. What must human beings do if they want to survive according to Hawking?A. Study the universe without stop.B. Escape possible future disasters.C. Realize the way the universe works.D. Protect the environment of the earth.14. What if a person suffers from Lou Gehrig’s disease?A. They will be unable to walk or speak to others.B. They are likely to die within ten years generally.C. They can recover a little bit if they are treated early.D. They are mostly assisted by especially-designed robots15. What do Hawking’s achievements in science lie in?A. His interest in physics.B. His creation of black holes. .C. His research on the universe.D.His strong will against disease.第二节〔一共5小题；每一小题3分，一共15分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，选项里面有两项为多余选项，并将答案写在答题卡上。

as I was trying to focus．We frequently stepped on each other's feet．Both of us were being rhythmically（有节奏地）challenged，and we figureda series of lessons might help us look somewhat skilled on the dancing floor．However，it didn't．It didn't matter that the lessons didn't pay off．Our learning something new together gave us a string of good memories，such as taking a Thai cooking class on a cold Chicago night and learning how to make a classic cocktails in a common bar．These experiences are my best memories from the past 10 years．We always have such a great time when we're trying something new together．It seems to have strengthened our relationship，and makes me feel like we have a closer connection．It turns out my theory as such is backed by research．One study shows that learning newthings with your spouse（配偶），friends，or partners，can strengthen your connection or friendship．But how exactly does this work？The key is weakness．"Learning new things together strengthens connection because it is at those moments that we can show our weakness to one another，" says Dr．Hisla Bates．"When we are learning a new task，misfortunes and failures are sure to happen．In those moments when we fail，the other party can be there in favor of us．We can Work together to find a solution，and working together helps deepen the connection．"The benefits gained from learning new things with your partner can come from activities as small as hiking，trying a new diet，going boating in the local lake or taking a fitness class together．You don't have to bungee jump or skydive to grow closer．Try selecting activities that both partners are unfamiliar with，as this will ensure you're on the same page．Trying to learn something new together once a month will benefit you and your spouse or friends．Overall，some of my best memories with my husband are the moments when we are learning something new together．（1）What were the author and her husband doing in Paragraph 1？A．Playing sports．B．Practising dance．C．Teaching lessons．D．Taking a walk．（2）The underlined word backed （in Paragraph 2）can be probably replaced by ．A．judged B．made C．doubted D．supported（3）The purpose of writing this passage is to show us ．A．the challenge of gaining new knowledgeB．the advantages of taking different lessonsC．the power of learning new things togetherD．the importance of improving people's connections12．When temperatures rise，many people swim to beat the heat．But swimming does a lot more than that．It is a great workout for the whole body．Health experts at the University of California，Berkeley state that swimming is a great way to stay in shape．Swimming is a very good high﹣intensity cardio exercise（高度有氧运动）．Cardio involves the heart，lungs，and circulatory（血液循环的）system．The Berkeley experts say swimming can increase your heart rate and exercise your lungs．Some high﹣intensity cardio exercises，such as running，can improve your health but can also be likely to hurt your body．Swimming，on the other hand，is beneficial to the body and people often use it to recover from injuries．Paul Waas，a coach and former competitive swimmer，says that swimming is more beneficial to the body than other sports because it is low﹣impact．A mother called Paloma with two daughters says that for her girls，swimming has been more beneficial to the body than some other sports．She said，"So far，I think it's been good for their bodies．It's a high﹣intensity cardio exercise，as you know．But it spares their knees，their joints，and so on．So it's rare to get injured in swimming．"The coach adds that swimming is a great exercise for kids who grow a lot in a short amount of time．Coach Waas said，"Swimming is really good for kids who are growing fast．Their bones might be hurting and they're suffering from serious pain all the time．And then they get in the pool and，you know，they can float and stretch out a little bit and it reduces that as well．"People who are overweight can also find relief through swimming．Their weightlessness in the water can help them to avoid injury as they exercise．（1）According to Paragraph 2，swimming is better than running because ．A．it's a bit easier to do B．it's better and safer for our bodiesC．it makes people feel more comfortable D．it increases our heart rates more slowly （2）What's Paul Waas's attitude towards swimming？A．Positive．B．Negative．C．Doubtful．D．Worried．（3）What does the underlined word that in Paragraph 4 refer to？A．Floating and stretching out．B．Fast physical growth of kids．C．Swimming in a swimming pool．D．The pain caused by kids' physical growth．13．Teens and their teachers know well that early﹣morning classes can be tiring．Doctors now have a solution：for better teen health，push the sleep button on school start times．Janet Croft，who studies teens and sleep at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC）in Atlanta high schools，says，"Most teens are actually brain dead when they go to these early classes．Too many students start their day as walking zombies（僵尸）．"One report stresses the importance of sleep for teens and describes the dangers from not getting enough sleep．Studies in the past have shown over and over that teens lacking sleep face higher risks of being overweight and being frustrated．Many teens get too little sleep because they attend middle and high schools that start earlier than 8：30 am．According to the American Academy of Pediatrics（AAP），those early start times throw off a student's internal body rhythm，called the circadian clock（生物钟）．Too little sleep disturbs that clock and causes problems．The study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation found that nearly 6 in every 10 middle school students and 9 in 10 high school students are sleeping too little．Yet many parents aren't aware of this．In the same study，7 of every 10 parents said they believed their kids didsleep enough．That study shows too many parents are unaware of the science on teen ﹣sleep needs，says Owens．Kyla Wahlstrom，a former teacher，who has spent a lot of time with teens lacking sleep，says："An incredible number of students are either sleeping at their desks or sitting there like a lump，not asking questions or raising their hands．"Getting enough sleep can help a teen on the inside，too．Several studies have shown that children and teenagers who don't sleep enough are more likely to become obese，or extremely overweight．Teens lacking sleep also are more likely to suffer from anxiety，depression and mood disorders．It's time to recognize how important sleep is，particularly to teenagers．（1）What does the author want to stress by mentioning "walking zombies" in Paragraph 2？A．The students' brain health is worrying．B．The students are fond of computer games．C．The students are so used to staying up very late．D．The students are in a bad state of learning in early classes．（2）According to AAP in Paragraph 4，early school schedules affect teens by ．A．increasing their course load B．affecting their circadian clockC．affecting their performance at school D．disturbing their relationships with classmates （3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？A．The number of teens lacking sleep is growing fast．B．Physical and mental health are equally important to teens．C．It is really necessary to adjust school start times in the morning．D．Teachers should take measures to raise students' interest in learning．（4）What's the main idea of the text？A．Parents are unaware of their kids' sleep condition．B．Being overweight is very common among American teens．C．Early school start times can turn teens into the walking dead．D．Researchers have found out how sleep is related to teens' study．第二节（共1小题；每小题10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．选项中有两项为多余选项．14．（10分）Find Your Self﹣worthDo you measure your personal self﹣worth based on what others think of you？Do you work really hard to make others like or support you？Do you lack confidence？（1）Increasing self image will help build your confidence and your personal self﹣worth．So how？Pay attention to your body language．How you hold your physical body has an effect on how others see you and on how you personally feel．Similarly，how you feel often determines your body language and your outward behavior．（2） A simple way is to check your body language．Stand tall with your head held high，shoulders squared，back straight and legs solid；you will feel more in control．Develop your own measuring stick．（3）Don't let others influence your view of success or happiness．Take time out to recognize your achievements no matter how big or small they are．Keep track of your achievements and proud moments in a journal．If you keepa personal journal or even a work journal，start writing in the journal from back to frontkeeping track of all the little and big things that happen every day．（4）Here's a simple exercise you can do to gain a richer way of thinking on how you are sensed by others．Start by taking a close look at yourself and create a list of your unique strengths．Who are you？（5）Ask friends，families to share with you what they see as your key characteristics．Now you know that you're more than you

key words and the most important meaning of a certain text．Faced with so much information from our smart phones，it would be impossible to deal if we read word by word，line by line．However，more and more people enjoy reading slowly．There is a book club in Wellington，New Zealand，where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smart phones．They sink into comfortable chairs and read in silence for an hour．Unlike other book clubs，the point of the slow reading club isn't exchanging ideas abouta certain book，but to get away from smart phones and read in a quiet，relaxingenvironment．Actually，the Wellington book club is just one example of slow﹣reading book clubs．Nowadays，technology has made us unable to focus on reading．"Screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight and information left﹣to﹣right order to a wild skimming （略读）and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information．Reading a text with links leads to weaker understanding than reading an ordinary text，" says Patrick Kingsley from a newspaper．However，slow reading is good for readers in many ways．It sharpens the mind，improves concentration，reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize（共鸣）．Another study last year showed that reading novels slowly helps people understand others' mental states and beliefs，a fundamental skill in building relationships．Aim for 30 minutes a day，advises Kelly，a slow reader．"You can put in half an hour pretty easily during your free moments．You pick up a meaningful book rather than start your computer to look for your favorite site for something to pass the time，" Kelly said．参考答案第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分25.0分）11．（1）B （2）D（3）C12．（1）B（2）A（3）D13．（1）D（2）B （3）C（4）C14．（1）E（2）B（3）F（4）A
