I took it as an elective(选修的) course because learning French or Spanish seemed too difficult, After some time, I wished I hadn't picked it, I had thought we would just be learning to touch type(自打), but not be tested on speed and accuracy(准确率), In addition to this, l was the only freshman in the class, Most of the other students were juniors or seniors.“Hands on home keys. Eyes on the book, Ready Type," said the teacher, Suddenly the room was alive with 30 electric typewriters’ keys being pounded(猛击) on, I tried my best to keep up, but it was clear being a clerk wasn't in my future. Though I didn't make many errors, my typing speed was very slow and I knew I wasn’t going to get a good grade on this test. I really regretted taking this class and wished I could be learning phrases in French instead.Now 43 years later I am so happy that I took that class and learnedhow to type. It has helped me write countless stories with inspiration(灵感) flowing through my heart and mind and into the keys on my computer keyboard. It has helped me to write letters and e-mails full of kindness to share with friends and family. It has helped me to do what I was meant to do and share what I was meant to share in this life. I am thankful to take that class.We may meet difficulties in life. There are people we need to meet, skills we need to learn, talents we need to have and love we need to share.

Wait and see the results of our effortsCDuring the five day International Labor Day holiday that began on April 30, tourist attractions that offered ancient Chinese or guofeng experiences attracted a lot of people, some of whom wore traditional clothing and makeup to enhance the pleasure of their experiences.Qujiang New District in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, charmed tourists with a new attraction on the theme of a TV serial The Longest Day in Chang'an. It offered visitors a chance to "travel back in time" and experience a day in the life of people living in the Tang Dynasty （618-907）. Xi'an, known as Chang'an back then, was the capital. The World Rural Tourism Town in Huzhou, Zhejiang province, held a cultural festival with a silk and Song Dynasty（960-1279）theme.During the first three days of the holiday, the place received nearly 30,000 visits, putting it into an online list of the 10 most popular Huzhou attractions.The Jizhouyao scenic area in Jiangxi province held a tourism festival with a Song Dynasty theme.Tourists, wearing period costumes and makeup, tried their hand at the ancient Chinese game of touhu—throwing arrows into a distant pot—and tasted yonghe tofu, one of the top 10 Jiangxi dishes.COVID-19 has accelerated changes in the needs of consumers, who are increasingly pursuing comfortable and safe tourism products that benefit both the environment and people's health. For tourism businesses, it's important to highlight the cultural elements of tourism products by drawing inspiration from China's traditional culture.Hotels also took advantage of the guofeng craze to feed the growing passion for traditional Chinese culture. A guofeng hotel provided replica （仿制品）costumes from online games based on the Chinese classic Journey to the West, which the guests could try on for photos.What does the underlined word"enhance"in Paragraph 1 mean？A.

COVID-19 Affects China's TourismD. The Ancient Culture Adds to Holiday AttractionDChildren are more creative when they learn in natural surroundings, according to new research from Curtin University. Primary school students in Australia and England were put to the test to see whether writing poetry in a natural outdoor setting produced more creative outcomes than writing in a classroom, and the answer was yes.Dr Paul Gardner and Sonja Kuzich from Curtin’s School of Education ran comparative trials with 10-year-old students in both countries and the results, recently published in the Cambridge Journal of Education, gave a big thumbs-up to the positive influence of natural settings. “We found that students who had direct contact with nature by immersing (沉浸) themselves in a bush or forest setting were much more descriptive and vivid in the language they used than the classroom-based writers who‘imagined’ being in nature through photos,” Dr Gardner said.In total, 97 students took part in the study, split across four classrooms, including two based at an English primary school and two from a primary school in Western Australia. In each country one class visited a natural bush or forest before writing a poem based on what they saw, smelt and felt. The other class viewed a pile of images of the same bush or forest setting.Ms Kuzich said the difference in creative language used between the classes was obvious with twice as many UK forest students using figurative (比喻的) language compared with their class-based counterparts. In Australia that figure rose to more than four times when comparing the poetry of the bush-based students with those who remained at school.The researchers say further studies of larger groups are nowrecommended to gain greater understanding of the influence of natural spaces and “green learning” in schools. Future research may also be needed to examine if the green learning can be translated into other learning themes or context to see if there is a flow on effect in different environments.22. Why were the students placed outdoors in natureA. To get more outdoor exercise.B. To experience nature in depth.C. To understand poems about nature better.D. To prove nature’s effect on creativity.23. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk aboutA. The specific steps of the experiment.B. New findings about students’ writing.C. The steps of training the children.D. The purpose of performing the test.24. What can we infer about the result of the studyA. Students in Australia prefer to study poems.Students in classrooms are not good at poems.Students in forests are more creative in writing poems Students in the UK and Australia have different writing skill preferences.25. What does the last paragraph implyA. Green learning is becoming a trend.B. Further studies are to be carried out.C. Green learning has been applied in school.D. Future research is of little significance.第二节七选五(共5小题:每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

had been wrapped in.He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable!Trembling,George started reading.“Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans.The

imagine how surprised people were when live fish rained down on them from a darkgray cloud.It happens that there are similar cases in England and Honduras.How do clouds make fishy?The simple answer is that they don’t.There is a particularweather phenomenon(现象)called a waterspout.A waterspout is just like a tornado（龙卷风）,only it forms above oceans,lakes,or rivers.Like a tornado,a waterspout moves in a circle at highspeeds.When it moves above the water,it tends to carry the fish with it,as well as frogs orother small plants or animals.Scientists couldn’t work it out at first.To make matters stranger still,the fish in Honduras were very much alive when they rained down to the ground,but they were all blind.In England and Australia,it rained fish and snakes,and none were blind.It was difficult to puzzle out,but the blind fish gave them a place to start.Scientists knew that some fish that lived in deep,underground caves with no light sources often lost their eyesight.So when blind fish rained down on Honduras,scientists began toconnect some clues（线索，提示）.Clearly,these particular fish were pulled from an underground water source by force.It has rained fish on every continent,and each time,people have tried in various ways toexplain this strange phenomenon.Historically,villagers thought the“fishes from the heavens”might be answers to prayers（祈祷）for food.Others suggested that floods overran river banks and oceans,leaving the fish on the city streets.No scientist had actually seen the rain as it occurred,only the fish left on the ground.But in1990,a National Geographic team happened to be inHonduras when the Rain of Fishes began.They recorded what was happening and made historyby finally proving that the fish really did fall from the sky.This huge breakthrough wasn’t just a spot of good luck.It changed thousands of yearsof myths（虚构的事；谬论）and legends into true stories and provided scientific explanations for how fish came to live in deep caves.It explained ancient cave paintings and cast（投射光线）new light on how species have spread over time.It turned out to be a lot more than just a little fishy weather.68.According to the passage,a waterspout________.A.can make animals blindB.is difficult to catch on filmC.can carry items（物品）with itD.is a dangerous sea creature69.The blind fish made the scientists start to think that________.A.raining fish was a warning of natural disastersB.animals changed to match their environmentsC.the weather system differed from place to placeD.the waterspout theory seemed more possible70.The first sentence in the last paragraph probably suggests that________.A.waterspouts came to be a center of scientific researchB.the scientists were fortunate to have made their discoveriesC.hard work went into determining the cause for the raining fishD.the scientists relied heavily on unusual events to drive their studies71.The author writes the passage to________.A.explain what caused the fishy weatherB.describe the magic phenomenonC.persuade people to protect the environmentD.encourage people to do scientific research(D)A study involving8,500teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant（无知的）when it comes to money.The findings,the first in a series of reports from NatWesl that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money,arc particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts man any before.University tuition fees(学费)are currently capped at£3,000annually,but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research,the teenagers were presented with terms(条款）of four different loans but76per cent failed to identify the cheapest.The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average£31.000by the age of25,although the average salary for those aged22to29is just£17,815.The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training,although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than £10.000.Average debts for graduates are£12，363.Stephen Moir,head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said."The more exposed young people are to financial issues,and the younger they become aware of them,the more likely they arc to become responsible,forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively."Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs.They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts.Nikki Fairweathcr.aged15.from St Helens,said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance,but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.72.Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A.Students understand personal finances differently.B.University tuition fees in England have been rising.C.Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D.The students'payback ability has become a major issue.73.The phrase"to raise the ceiling"in paragraph2probably means"______".A.to raise the student loansB.to improve the school facilitiesC.to increase the upper limit of the tuition（学费）D.to lift the school building roofs74.According to Stephen Moir,students_______.A.are too young to be exposed10financial issuesB.should learn to manage their finances wellC-should maintain a positive attitude when facing loansD.benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance75.What can we learn from the passage?A.Many British teenagers do not know money matters wellB.Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C.Financial planning is a required course at college.D.Young people should become responsible adults.Section C（8分）Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Its goal is to have good,clean,fair food for all people.B.Today,there are great concerns about the way people grow and produce food.C.It should arrive on our plates in the cleanest and most environmentally responsible way.D.All people should be able to purchase healthy food.E.This event wasn’t the only thing that started the Slow Food Movement.F.Today the Slow Food Movement has already expanded out of Italy.The Slow Food Movement started in Rome,Italy in1986.When a new McDonalds wasopening near a beautiful historic place,some people stood outside the restaurant and shouted,“We do not want fast food.We want slow food!”(76)________One day Carlo Petrini went to a restaurant to eat a traditional meal.But thefood didn’t taste the same as he remembered.He learned that the peppers were shipped fromabroad because the prices were low.This deeply concerned Carlo.Carlo wanted people to care about where their foods came from and how their foods madetheir culture special.So he started a group to encourage this idea.It soon became the Slow Food Movement.(77)________First,what is good food?Good food is fresh.The vegetables are eaten close to the placewhere they are grown.The fish hasn’t been sitting for days before it is eaten.Good food isseasonable.It should be grown at the best time of the year for that food.Good food satisfies thesenses.It should look good,smell good and taste good.And finally,good food is cultural food.Each country has special foods that make it different.Second,food should be clean.(78)________Farmers use chemicals to kill insects andfeed plants.But the chemicals can also harm the natural environment around farms.Over time,they can cause health problems in people too.Clean food means food that does not harm ourbodies or the environment.And third,food should be fair.Food should not cost too much money.(79)________Thepeople who grow and make food should be paid fairly for their work.They should work in safe,Healthy conditions.第二卷I.Translation.(3+4+4+5=16分)80.作为学生，我们不应该无视校纪校规。

Unconcerned．B. Doubtful．C. Critical．D. Humorous．CThe man behind the Apple empire died at 56last year．He was one of the people who made Silicon Valley（硅谷）the capital of technological invention．Author and business consultant Jim Collins once called Jobs the"Beethoven of business"．When asked what Steve Jobs will be best remembered for，many of us would name a particular product：the iPod，the iPhone or theiPad，for example．But in the eyes of Eric Jackson，a reporter with Forbes magazine，Jobs brought the world much more than these popular devices（装置）．Here are some of the lessons he taught us：（1）The most lasting inventions mix art and science．Jobs pointed out that the team members working with Apple were trained in anthropology（人类学），art，history，and poetry．He believed this was important in making Apple's products stand out．（2）Never fear failure．Jobs was fired by the successor he himself chose．It was one of the most public embarrassments（尴尬）of the last 30years in business．However，Jobs didn't hide away or try to get a new job．He picked himself up and got back to work．（3）You can't look forward to connecting the dots-you can only look backward．This means that，however much we try to plan things ahead of time，life is always full of unexpected things．What seems like bitter pain and defeat could turn out to sow the seeds of unimaginable success in years to come．You can't connect the dots looking forward．But you have to trust that all the dots will be connected in the future．（4）Listen to that voice in the back of your head that tells you if you're on the right track or not．Most of us simply decide that we're going to work in finance or become a doctor because it's what our parents tell us to do．Whatever your voice is telling you，it is smart to listen to it-like Jobs did．Just as Caroline and Amy from his empire put it，"Steve was one of the most inspiring yet toughest bosses ever-but who else could have built Apple？What Steve left is sure to inspire generations of creative thinkers to think differently．His influence will be felt throughout the world．"23.From the passage，we learn that ______ ．A.

home．We have to act now．________________．答案和解析1.【答案】B【解析】答案：B 本题干中有2处需要作答，第一个空前需要使用定冠词the，因为English we speak at present是一个省略了关系代词的定语从句，从而此处的English为特指，特指我们现在说讲的English．第二空为不定冠词同序数词连用，不表排序，表示"又一、再一"，固定用法，因此答案为B．1150年前英格兰人所讲的英语同我们现在所讲的英语差距很大．现在英语在南亚被视为第二语言．此题考查冠词的用法，应注意其特殊用法和固定用法的混用．2.【答案】A【解析】答案是A．本题主要考查介词辨析． towards 朝，向；对于；接近；about 关于；大约；周围；with具有；和；随着；和…一致；for对…来说；为了，因为；根据句意和介词搭配判断，名词attitude 常常与towards搭配，表示"对于…的态度"，所以答案选择A．Maggie，我认为你应该改变你对工作的态度，否则你不会有仸何进步．介词辨析要在掌握各介词的基本用法和固定搭配的基础上结吅语境做出符吅逻辑、常理的推测．3.【答案】C【解析】答案：Cinsist坚持；英语中表示命令，坚持，要求，建议等动词后接宾语从句时，从句的谓语要用should加动词原形来构成，should可以省略；句中send与he之间构成动宾关系，要用被动语态．故选C．这位老人坚持认为自己身体很壮，应该让他重新回到工作岗位上．在表示建议，命令，要求的名词性从句中，从句要用should加动词原形来构成虚拟，should可以省略．学习时要注意区分条件虚拟句．4.【答案】B【解析】答案是B．本题考查形容词词义辨析．upset沮丧；grateful感激的；comfortable舒朋的；crazy疯狂的，着迷的；因为农民提供了有用的信息，所以会心存"感激"，所以答案选择B．这些农民为你的报告提供了很多有用的信息．我能理解你现在多么感激．辨析形容词要在识记常见形容词及其搭配的基础上理解语境，根据具体语境推断吅理的答案．5.【答案】D【解析】答案：D right away 立刻；as usual 像往常一样；in advance 提前；on purpose故意．联系前后语境，根据上下文对话，后者对于前者提出的无意打碎杯子进行了否定（Oh，I'm afraid not），再结吅选项，打碎杯子就有意的，on purpose （故意的）符吅句意，故选D．---Peter，告诉我实话，你的弟弟是不是无意间把杯子打碎的．---哦，恐怕不是，他是故意的．本题考查介词短语的语义辨析，考生在平时的学习中应注意积累相应的短语和词汇，并牢记其意思．在做题时，将短语的意思和题干相结吅，从语法、句子结构尤其是句意上去判断，句意通顺，符吅逻辑，即正确答案．6.【答案】B【解析】答案是B．本题考查副词词义辨析．actually实际上，事实上；往往表达语意上的转折；finally最后，终于；含义是经过长时间的努力或等待后终于实现或成功；exactly确切地；强调结果或情况的吻吅；extremely极端地；根据下文的didn't give up （不放弃）推测，Grace的坚持"终于"获得成功，因此答案是B．虽然Grace已经失败了几次，她没有放弃她的梦想并且终于使梦想实现．本题考查副词词义辨析，要在熟悉各副词词义的基础上结吅语境做出吅理的推断．7.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．该题考查时态，第一空leave是趋向动词，用现在进行时表示将来时；第二空是表示飞机几点起飞，属于按时刻表即将发生的动作，用一般现在时表将来．此题两人之间的电话，大意是：A：史密斯先生星期天要离开去德国．B：真的吗？你知道他是几点的航班吗？一般将来时可以用：1．will加动词原形，表示临时决定做，2．be going to加动词原形，表示计划打算做，3．用现在进行时表示，表示即将做，4．用一般现在时表示按照时刻表，即将，5，am，is，are+do，计划安排，命令，做题时要区分．8.【答案】B【解析】答案 B由句意可知，当他们听到这个令人害怕的消息后，每个人都很震惊．指人感到震惊，应该使用shocked；而指事情令人害怕，应该使用frightening，故答案为B当他们听到这个令人害怕的消息后，每个人都很震惊．此题考查非谓语动词，此类有关人的情感的形容词化的现在分词或过去分词可以概括归纳为：以ed结尾的词主语往往是人，译为"感到…"；而以ing结尾的词往往指的是事情或物，译成"令人…"．掌握此规律，很多题迎刃而解．9.【答案】A【解析】答案：A．因为划线前的标点为逗号，句中没有用来连接两个句子的连词，所以后面的句子为定语从句，先行词为前面的整句话，可排除掉后面三个选项；故用which来引导．著名歌手陈琳在10月31日结束了自己的生命，这让他的歌迷非常的伤心和失望．本题是对非限制性定语从句的考查，要认真分析定语从句的所缺成分，搞明白前后两者间的语义关系，结吅先行词选出正确的关系词．10.【答案】B【解析】答案B．set up"建立，设立"；build up"加强，增进"；put up"举起；张贴"；make up"组成；化妆；虚构，编造；弥补"build up your confidence意思是"增强你的信心"，因此根据语境及句意可知答案选B．大声读英语不仅能提高你的英语，而且增强你的信心．本题考查动词短语．动词短语题是高考常考的内容，它注重考查考生对动词短语的掌握以及在语境中使用的能力，平时要求考生注意多积累一些常用的词汇及短语，做题时结吅语境及句子所要表达的意思做出正确的选择．11.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．根据选项as当---什么时候，正如----，因为----；While 当---什么时候，尽管，然而；once 一旦；unless除非，再结吅句意，一旦确定要上哪所大学，学生都应该尽力去实现他们的目标．可知此处缺少了一个引导条件状语的连接词，故选C．一旦确定要上哪所大学，学生都应该尽力去实现他们的目标．本题考查条件状语从句的连接词，在充分分析句型再结吅语义的基础上便能选出正确答案，同时要注意其他选项短语的意思12.【答案】A【解析】答案是A．本题考查现在完成进行时．题干中"since 2005"是与现在相联系的段时间，是现在完成时的标志，故排除D；现在完成进行时表示表示从过去某时开始到现在这一段时间里一直延续着的动作还在继续进行；根据语境和常识判断，中国私家车数量的增长还在进行中，故选A．此外关注第一空的主语是"the number of+复数名词"，表示"…的数量"，谓语动词用单数；第二空句的主语是15%of them，是复数概念，谓语动词用复数．中国私家车的数量自从2005年以来一直在增长，但是只有15%的是中国制造．完成进行时的解题首先要理解其时态的基本用法--表示从过去某时开始到现在这一段时间里一直延续着的动作，特别关注其"在进行中"的特征；然后在语境中寻找动作的时间依据进行判断．13.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．根据句子结构可以看出we had __________ home in the snowstorm是what difficulty 的定语，因为have difficulty in doing sth．表示做某事有困难，所以选择D walking．没人能够想象出，在这暴风雪中我们走回家有多么难．考查现在分词做宾语．英语中有一些短语往往会变换形式来使用，如make use of 就可以有好几种用法．We should make full use of time to learn English．Full use of time should be made to learn English．14.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．本句中的主干为The boy was taken to the hospital immediately，句中的____leg was badly hurt in the earthquake为一定语从句，the boy和leg为所属关系，所以用关系代词whose连接该定语从句，在句中作定语；故选D．在地震中腿部严重受伤的那个男孩被立即送往了医院．本题是对非限制性定语从句的考查，要认真分析定语从句的所缺成分，搞明白前后两者间的语义关系，结吅先行词选出正确的关系词．15.【答案】B【解析】答案B．A项"祝你好运"；C项"振作起来"；D项"玩得开心点"；B项"祝贺你"；根据上下文的语境可知，上句中说‘我女儿被南京大学录取了，这是她最喜欢的学校'，下句中回答‘祝贺你！'，"Congratulations 用来表达祝贺，祝贺，恭喜，恭贺"．故选B．---我女儿被南京大学录取了，这是她最喜欢的学校．---祝贺你！本题考查情景交际．解答此类题目首先应该读懂句意，分析上下文语境和逻辑关系．其次对每个选项中的交际用语的适用情况要掌握，根据语境锁定正确答案．关键平时学习中要对交际用语多积累多总结反复记忆．16.【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】D 【小题3】C【解析】46-48 ADC46 A主旨大意题．通读全文特别是文章首段可知，本文就"‘生态城市农场'在美国各地日益流行"进行了相关介绍．故答案选A．47 D细节理解题．根据第二段第一、二句"…is located near shopping centers，car repair shops and homes．The neighborhood is a workingclass community．"可知生态城市农场靠近购物中心，汽车修理厂和社区，ABC均符吅，故答案选D．48 C推理判断题．根据文章的主旨大意可知，"生态城市农场"并不是一个旅游项目，其目的也并不是教育人，文章并未以人为中心进行介绍，故可排除A、B、D三项．根据第三段倒数第二句中的"connect with the earth"，第四段最后一句中的"improving the soil with compost （肥料）made from food waste"及第五段中的"from the sun with solar panels．In winter，the green houses use ageothermal （地热）system"可推知，本文应来源自报纸的"环境"专栏．故答案选C．本文是一篇报道．文章介绍了美国各地日益流行的生态城市农场（Eco CityFarms）．它不但可以带动生态社区，引领人们过上绿色健康的生活，更成为人们了解地球、了解食物的好去处．做阅读理解时要快速的浏览全文，把握文章主旨大意，带着问题回到原文，寻找细节或概括相应的答案，最后要理清作者写作思路．19.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】A 【小题3】A 【小题4】C【解析】49．答案是B．写作意图题，从全文和最后一段的句子：Look at all the pain you've caused．Sure，you've made people happy too from time to time．But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable．可知作者写这封信是为了说明酒精给人们多么大的伤害，选B．50．答案是A．细节理解题：从第二段的句子：You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street，crashing into two other cars．He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night．可知酒精让作者的爸爸和另外的车相撞，严重受伤，选A．41．答案是A．猜测词义题：；从第三段的句子：They treated you as if they were never going to see you again，drinking all of you that they could．可以推断出作者的朊友对酒很感兴趣，选A42．答案是C．推理判断题：从最后一段的句子：I wish you'd walk out of my life forever．I don't want anything to do with you．Look at all the pain you've caused．Sure，you've made people happy too from time to time．But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable．Stop luring （引诱）in thepeople I love．Stop hurting me，please．不要引诱我爱的人不要再伤害我，可知作者的态度是批评的，选C这篇文章是一封书信，作者用拟人化的手法，写信给酒精，痛诉它给人们带来的伤害，希望它远离自己的生活，不要再伤害周围的人了．阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出吅理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．23.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】D 【小题3】A 【小题4】C【解析】53-56 BDAC53题答案：B考查细节推理，根据（1）中的The most lasting inventions mix art and science．Jobs pointed out that the team m embers working with Apple were trained in

．最持久的发明融吅了艺术与科学．乔布斯指出苹果公司的团队成员在人类学、艺术、历史及诗歌方面接受了培训．他相信这（艺术与科学的融吅）在使苹果公司的产品出色中是很重要的．可知本题答案为B选项．54题答案：D考查细节推理，根据（2）中的However，Jobs didn't hide away or try to get a new job．He picked himselfup and got

浙江省杭州五校联盟2021-2022学年高一上学期阶段性月考（联考）英语试题卷学校_________ 班级__________ 姓名__________ 学号__________一、阅读选择1. Sitting by the fire on a cold night, wearing a woolen sweater, while drinking wine and petting a dog—probably surrounded by candles. That’s certainly “Hygge”. Eating home-made cakes. Watching TVunder a warm quilt. Family get-togethers at Christmas. They’re all Hygge too.The Danish word, pronounced “Hoo-ga”, is usually translatedinto English as “coziness”. But it’s much more than that; it is an entire attitude to life that makes Denmark to compete withSwitzerland and Iceland to be the world’s happiest countries.Morley College, in central London, is teaching students how to reach the state of Hygge as part of its Danish language course. “We have long, cold winters in Denmark,” says lecturer Susanne Nilsson. “That influences things.” With up to 17 hours of darkness per dayin the depth of winter, and average temperatures staying around zero degrees, people spend more time indoors as a result, says Nilsson, meaning there’s greater focus on home entertaining.“Hygge could be families and friends getting together for a meal, with the lighting dimmed, or it could be time spent on your own reading a good book,” she says. “it works best when there’s nottoo large an empty space around the person or people,” the idea isto relax and feel as at home as possible, forgetting life’s worries.The recent growth in some restaurants, cafes and bars in the UKis helping to introduce Hygge to the public, she adds, with their warm environment, lively decorations and concentrations on comforting food. Most customers won’t have heard of the word, but they mightget a sense of it.【小题1】What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A．List the good results ofB．introduce the topic of Hygge. Hygge.C．Describe the spread of Hygge. D．point out the importance of Hygge.【小题2】The underlined word “coziness” most likely means__________.?A．Being careful B．Being responsibleC．Being comfortable D．Being hard-working【小题3】What is the reason for Danish to want a Hygge lifestyle?A．Danish are crazy about outdoor activities. B．Danish prefer home entertainment to work.C．Hygge is part of the Danish language course. D．Winters in Denmark are quite long and cold.2. This is a common situation for beginner-level language learners—they want to read classic(经典的) books, but what their language skills allow are usually little more than children's books.Oxford University Press tried to solve this problem back in 1988by designing a series of graded English reading materials known asthe Oxford Bookworms Library. It now has a collection of over 200 books—many of them simplified versions of classics—which fall into seven difficulty levels from “starter level” to level six.However, there has always been a debate over whether shortened versions of classics have less value. Some worry that by reading them, students don't get to learn the essence of the original(原版的) text.Rob Waring, a Japanese professor, mentions one of his students, Satoko, as an example in his booklet The "Whay" and “How" of Using Graded Readers. Satoko was a Japanese student majoring in English.But by the time she graduated, she had only managed to finish reading just one English book because it was far beyond her language level. “For Satoko, reading in English was a fight; a fight that shelost,” wrote Waring, who suggested that reading easy texts is necessary because it helps language learners build up confidence and fluency in reading. By reading a lot—rather than getting stuck inone book—they can get used to kinds of English expressions andwriting styles. Only by doing this can they reach what Waring calls the “reading-with-ideas” level of reading.So it doesn't matter if the books ae original classics or not-for beginner-level language learners, the simple act of reading is a form of learning in itself. "Stories offer a window to other cultures, other worlds, real or imagined, beyond the classroom," JenniferBassett, the first editor of the Oxford Bookworms Library, said in an interview with GetEnglishLessons.【小题1】Why did Oxford University Press design the Oxford Bookworms Library?A．To attract as many English learners as possible.B．To allow English beginners to read classic books.C．To make classics popular with more English learners.D．To help English beginners improve their language skills.【小题2】From paragraph 4, Rob Waring points out that________. A．language learners are expected to read a lotB．language learners don't need to read easy textsC．reading a lot can build up language learners' confidence D．reading easy texts can give language learners more ideas【小题3】What is the writer's attitude to shortened books? A．Doubtful. B．Unclear C．Unconcerned D．Supportive.3. I am only 12 years old, but I know grief and the fear of death very well.My grandfather has been smoking since he was an ignorant adolescent and now he has a dreadful disease called emphysema that ruins the respiratory(呼吸的） system.Ever since my grandmother died, my grandfather has been depressed-mad at the world.He is an exceedingly ornery man and has said some hurtful words to nice people who cared about him. Nevertheless when he is around me, it's like a whole soft side of him becomes exposed. For this,I felt fortunate enough to plant tender seeds into his iron- heart.Recently, my grandfather got very sick, he underwent surgery on his throat and had medicine called a respirator to help him breathe. The doctors thought that his days were numbered, but miraculously he recovered, he was taken off the respirator and still couldn't work.It strained his voice badly to make the slightest noise. While my grandfather was in hospital, my mother and I flew to Pittsburgh to keep him company. On the way,fear that we would not see him again enveloped us.When we reached my grandfather's hospital room, I was shocked by his condition,his wrinkled face deadly pale. He was hardly able to even grunt somehow, though he managed to mumble“ I you”.“You what grandpa?” , I purred.It seemed that he didn't have any energy to answer me With great difficulty,he had exhausted all his strength with those two syllables(音节）The next morning my mother and I were obliged to leave, but Ikept wondering just what it was he had tried so desperately to tell me. It was not until I was back home in Georgia that I learned what he had tried to say.A week after we returned home, my family received a phone call from one of the nurses in the hospital,and she told us that my grandfather had sa id :“Call my granddaughter and tell her love.”At first I was a little confused, thinking why he would just say love, why not I love you, then it hit me the day we were in the hospital——he'd been trying to say I love you. I was really touched.I felt as if I was going to cry and I did after many painfulweeks.Fortunately,my grandfather was ultimately able to talk. Icalled him every night. Normally he had to stop after about 5 minutes because he was so weak.No matter what, though, every time we hung up he would say I love you and I'd do anything for you. Along with his moving words, you're my only reason I live are the best compliments I have ever received.My grandfather is very ill and I know our time is limited, I feel very honored that he has shared his true feelings with me, I have learned a lot from his experience particularly the most significant thing is a simple I- love -you, it's really not simple，not just meaning caring,showing compassion or strengthening family bonds.It means a temperamental(性情的） inspiration and spiritual power that encourages the loved to break through their shackles(桎梏）of living.【小题1】Which following statement about the author’s grandpa is true ?A．Grandpa used to be a self-disciplined teenager who led a healthy life.B．Grandpa tended to show his love to his granddaughter.C．In face of the disease,grandpa never quit struggling desperately D．Grandpa’s ill condition and abrupt death saddened the author alot【小题2】Why did the author get confused about the two syllables? A．They wer e too vague to be recognized accurately due to grandpa’s disease.B．Love is something needless to depict so vagueness is the understatement.C．She was so shocked by grandpa’s condition that she became absent-mindedD．She underwent those miserable weeks with her grandpa unconcernedly 【小题3】According to the passage,which is the best suiteddefinition of love?A．Selfless sacrifice B．Showing the truest of you C．Reaching out bravely D．Deep-rooted spiritual strength【小题4】What’s the best title of the passage?A．Grandpa Taught: The Legacy of UnderstandingB．Grandpa Related: A Fairy Tale About HealingC．Grandpa Changed:The Power Of CaringD．Grandpa Shared:The Reason For Living二、七选五4. A Plastic Ocean is a film to make you think. Think, and then act. We need o take action on our dependence on plastic. We’ve been producing plastic in huge quantities. Drinking bottles shopping bags and even clothes are made with plastic.【小题1】What happens to all the rest? This is the question the film A Plastic Ocean answers.The film begins as a journey to film the largest animal on the planet, the blue whale. But during the journey the filmmakers make the shocking discovery of a huge, thick layer of plastic floating in the Indian Ocean.【小题2】In total, they visited 20 locations around the world during the four years to make the film.In the film there are beautiful shots of the seas and marine life.【小题3】We see how marine species are being killed by all theplastic we are dumping in the ocean. The message about our use of plastic is painfully obvious.【小题4】In the second half, the filmmakers look at what we can do to deal with the problem.They present short-term and long-term solutions. These include avoiding plastic containers and recycle as much as you can. The filmmakers also stress the need for governments to work more on recycling programmes.We make a shocking amount of plastic. Over 300 million tons of plastic are produced every year, and at least 8 million of those are dumped into the oceans. The results are disastrous, b ut it isn’t too late to change.【小题5】A．These are contrasted with dumps of plastic rubbish.B．This causes them to travel around the world to look at other affected areas.C．Once you’ve seen the film, you’ll realize it is time to do our part.D．It has raised public concern all over the world.E．We live in a world full of plastic, and only a small amount is recycled.F．But the film doesn’t only present the negative side.G．In conclusion we only have one earth to live on.三、完形填空5.

Where is this text most likely from?A. A website.B. A journal.C. A textbook.D. A report.BFrom a young age, Barbara Binns's passions were reading and doing research. With her latest book, Unlawful Orders, a biography, she captures American history.Unlawful Orders tells the story of James Williams (1919- 2016), a doctor who served with the Tuskegee Airmen, the first Black military pilots, during World War II. While at the Freeman Airfield base in Iowa, he stood up to racial unfair practices through peaceful protest, which pushed the government to make some changes in the US army.Binns lives in Chicago, Illinois, where she grew up and where most of her stories took place. In 2008, she wrote several books for young readers. She found her current book's subject while researching James's mother, Clara Williams, for another project. James had also lived in Chicago, in a neighborhood not far from where Binns grew up, but she hadn't heard about him.“I found myself wondering if I ever walked past him on the street and didn't realize I was in the presence of greatness," Binns told The Week Junior. She said she would have loved to have him as a role model during her childhood.That's one reason why she wrote Unlawful Orders, she said--for children who need a hero. someone who looks ordinary but did extraordinary things through quiet but persistent actions.24. What can be known about James Williams?A. He once served as an American pilot.B. He fought for equal rights for the black people.C. He lived in the same neighborhood with Binns.D. He got the support from American government.25. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined words in Paragraph 2?A. Put aside.B. Settled for.C. Objected to.D. Referred to.26. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How Binns chose the subject for Unlawful Orders.B. How Binos got to know James Williams.C. Why Binns gave up researching Clara Williams.D. Why Binns chose Chicago to be the setting for her books.27. Why did Binns write Unlawful Orders?A. To motivate herself to become a hero.B. To be in memory of James Williams.C. To inspire the children.D. To record American history.CA new analysis by researchers at MIT has found that inactive yeast (非活性酵母) can help remove lead pollution from drinking water supplies. The study shows that this approach workswell, even for part-per-billion levels of pollution. The team has calculated that waste yeast abandoned by a single brewery (啤酒厂) in Boston would be enough to teat the city's entire water supply. The system would not only purify the water but also change what would otherwise be some waste needing to be got rid of.Lead and other heavy metals in water are a serious global problem that continues to grow.In the U.S. alone, more than 12,000 miles of waterways are suffering the effect of wastewater rich in heavy metals. What's worse, heavy metals don't break down, but continuously exist and accumulate. They are either impossible or very expensive to completely remove by conventional methods. Lead is highly poisonous, even at tiny concentrations, especially affecting children as they grow.“We don't just need to minimize the existence of lead; we need to remove it from drinking water," says one of the researchers called Stathatou.The solution found by the MIT team is not a new one. A process called biosorption, in which inactive biological material is used to remove heavy metals from water, has been known for a few decades. But the process has been studied and characterized only at much higher concentrations, at the levels of more than one part per million.“Our study demonstrates that the process can indeed work efficiently at the much lower concentrations of typical real-world water supplies," another researcher named Athanasiou says.Designing a practical system for processing the water and getting back the yeast, which could then be separated from the lead for reuse, is the next stage of the team's research, They are also exploring ways of recovering both the yeast and the lead, “We need to conduct further experiments, but there is the option to get both back. And it will be a blessing for the world." Stathatou says.28. What's the feature of the new approach for removing lead pollution from drinking water?A. It is costly but worthwhile,B. It is economical and efficientC. It has higher technical requirements.D. It has been questioned by many experts.29. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?A. To state the necessity of removing heavy metals.B. To arouse people's awareness of self-protection.C. To stress on the difficulty of removing heavy metals. .D. To introduce the feature of heavy metals.30. What can we know about the process of biosorption from the text?A. It can determine the stability of water supply systems.B. It tests the inactive substances in water supplies.C. It can measure the make-up of heavy metals in water supplies.D. It focuses on removing heavy metals at higher concentrations from water.31. What does Stathatou think of their future research?A. Amusing.B. Worrying.C. Beneficial.D. Adventurous.DBirds that migrate long distances tend to be more likely than others to break up with their partners, according to an analysis of 232 species conducted by Sun Yat-sen University.About 90 per cent of bird species are socially monogamous (一夫一妻制的), which means once they form pairs, they will stay together for life. However, some do end up getting“divorced" and move onto new partners.To identify reasons that lead to bird break ups, Liu Yang at Sun Y at-sen University in Chinaand his colleagues studied 232 species in one of the world's largest bird databases, Birds of the World, They found that species that migrate particularly long distances to obtain food typically have higher rates of breaking up.Great blue herons, for example, migrate more than 3000 kilometres and have a divorce rate of 100 per cent. This may be because travelling further makes it harder for a pair to return home at the same time, says Liu Yang. "Ifyou're tbe one who gets back first, it's risky waiting for your partner because you don't know if it'll show up - it may have died or been blown off course,"Liu adds. Finding a new partner may seem a safer bet even if it requires energy to please a new mate, he says.Liu and his team members acknowledge that it makes sense for birds with long migrationsto have higher divorce rates, but there are exceptions.Black-tailed godwits, for example, migrate more than 1000 kilometres from Iceland to the UK or southwest Europe each year but have relatively low divorce rates. This seems to be due to a super ability to keep pace with their partners. Although members of a pair will follow separate migration paths and typically end up more than 900 kilometres away from each other,they are somehow able to return to Iceland at almost the same time, which reduces the risk of break-ups. "But most birds are not able to do that - it's pretty amazing." Liu concludes.32. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Most bird species have more than one partner for life.B. Few bird species are devoted to their partners.C. Most bird species have higher rates of breaking up.D. Most bird species tend to have only one partner.33. Why do great blue herons have a divorce rate of 100 per cent?A. Because the bird pairs choose different migration routes.B. Because they get tired of their partners.C. Because they are impatient with waiting.D. Because it is safer for them to move onto a new partner.34. What can we learn about black-tailed godwits in the last paragraph?A. They have a higher divorce rate than great blue herons.B. The nearly same returning time reduces the risk of their divorce.C. It is typical of them to migrate at the same speed with their partners.D. They set a good example of romance for other birds.35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? .A. Migration Linked to Bird DivorceB. Reasons for Bird MigrationC. Bird Migration with Long DistancesD. Birds—with High Rates of Divorce.第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Owning a pet is a fun and rewarding experience.

A4Impressive Bookstores Worth Visiting Around the WorldHousing Works Bookstore Cafe&Bar(New York,America)As part of a non-profit organization,the bookstore donates its income to help with AIDS and homelessness.The spiral stair leading to the second floor of books gives the feeling of an old-style library in the heart of New York’s chic Soho area.EI Ateneo Grand Splendid(Buenos Aires,Argentina)This book store changed from a1919theater become a special connection between the performing arts and books.It keeps the fresco(壁画)ceiling and velvet curtains of the former theater.Books line the walls,including where the audience once sat in the box seats.Word on the Water(London,England)This floating bookstore on the Regent’s Canal is known as“The London Bookbarge(书)”. Moving around before,it has now found a home where visitors can come over all year round, getting warm by a wood burning fire in winter and enjoying music and art performances on the rooftop stage in summer.Zhongshuge Bookstore(Hangzhou,China)Each location of this Chinese chain is architecturally unique,but the location in Hangzhou stands apart.Stairs and seats built into round bookshelves combined with mirrored ceilings give the optical illusion of never-ending books.1．What’s the special feature about the Housing Works Bookstore?A．Its stairs are too old to go up.B．It gives money to help the people in need.

A．Housing Works Bookstore Cafe&Bar B．EI Ateneo Grand SplendidC．Word on the Water D．Zhongshuge BookstoreBWill I ever make a friend here?I thought,standing in the crowd waiting for the elevator at the end of a long workday.I had just recently moved to California to become an editor for a newspaper,but I hadn’t made any close connections at the office.Some days I wished I were still in Ohio.Never in my life had I lived so far from Mom and Dad,even in college.Adjusting to my new job2,500miles away was difficult.I missed having people I could depend on nearby.The closest I’d come was trading friendly hellos with a middle-aged woman who always left around the same time as I did.Her West Coast style really stood out to me:bright-colored tops with long flowery skirts.Next to her,in my drab pantsuit,I looked as out of place as I felt.In the crowded elevator,a mark on one man’s briefcase caught my eyes.Three letters:OSU. Ohio State University?I almost said something,but who talks in crowded elevators?“Is that for Ohio State?”another man asked.“Yep,”the man answered.A chain reaction followed.Everyonein the elevator shared their alma mater.“I went to Ohio University in Athens,my hometown,”I said timidly(胆怯地).The woman in the flowery skirt said immediately,“Me too.Of course,that was almost25years ago.My mother also went there25years ago,”I said.“My name’s Carol,”the woman said.“What is your mother’s maiden name?”“Marion Lavelle,”I answered.“Marion?Marion and I were classmates.You look like her when she was younger,Carol said.When my parents came to town for a visit,the old classmates were finally reunited.Carol looked after me during my years in California like my second mother,and before long I was dressing in a bit of West Coast style too.4．How did the author feel in the new workplace?A．Lonely.B．Curious.C．Confused.D．Excited. 5．The middle-aged woman made a deep impression on the author because of______.

set with a cream-colored shirt,a brown jacket in China’s Ming dynasty style and a red pleated skirt made by me,”she recalled recently,almost10years later.It was not the looks from others but her limited knowledge on the traditional Chinese clothing that had made her uncomfortable.Chan added,“If anyone had asked what I was wearing, or the history behind it,I would have been afraid I couldn’t tell them the whole picture.”However,her uneasiness had gradually gone with more in-depth research on traditional Chinese culture.Hanfu was the traditional clothing of China’s Han ethnic group that was formedin the main residential areas of the Han people in ancient China.The historical clothing has untold stories and ideas in every detail.The cutting and stitching line in the middle part of hanfu fits the spine(脊椎)of the human body and helps people to dress properly.This design,which has transcended(超越)itself as mere decoration,points to the qualities of the wearers as upright and moderate(温和的)individuals.,“Instead of imitating people like what I used to do,I have jumped out of my comfort zone and found the style that suits me best,”Chan said.“Through hanfu,I have found myself and so many unexplored things in my life.”Chan added that she had found her lifelong passion through hanfu,which is a goal and dream that has never been absent from her life.Chan found she was not alone after falling in love with hanfu.She believes that classics will never go out of style and she herself has incorporated(使并入)hanfu into her everyday life.8．Why did Chan feel uneasy when she first wore hanfu in public?A．Her clothes were worn out.B．She didn’t like looks from others.C．Her clothes didn’t fit her properly.D．She had a limited knowledge of hanfu.9．What is special about hanfu in design according to paragraph3?A．It never goes out of fashion.B．It shows personal qualities of its wearers.C．It has many different styles for choice.D．It appeals to people of all ages and social groups.10．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Hanfu has a strong influence on Chan.B．Hanfu will be a big business in China.C．Hanfu will take the lead in the fashion.D．Hanfu allows her to get to know more people.11．In which part of a magazine may we read this text?A．Health.B．Travel.C．Sports.D．Culture.DWith the world reporting more cases of Omicron variant(奥密克戎变种)on Tuesday and more Western countries hurry up to close their doors.China,where so far only Hong Kong has reported cases,is calmly and confidently responding to possible challenges with vaccine(疫苗) study and the experience got from China’s zero-COVID policy.Chinese observers said that China will benefit from its COVID-19policy of preventing cases from home and abroad which continues to show its unique advantages facing Omicron.In comparison,observers reminded that Western countries are likely to be affected by Omicron if the variant is highly infectious(感染的),with their unscientific epidemic(流行病)control measures and overconfidence in vaccines,which has led to the rapid spread of the new variant,an expert told Global Times on Tuesday.But to some Western media,China’s policy means isolation(隔离).CNN said in a report on Monday that as much of the world started to learn to live with COVID-19,China"looked increasingly isolated by comparison”.Chinese observers said that the West’s choice of dealing with COVID-19is a helpless action as they cannot possibly clear their domestic cases with large numbers of locally transmitted cases, and residents are unwilling to team up with governments.In some countries,even the leaders do not follow their own rules.Biden on Monday call on Americans to wear masks,but he has come under fire for flouting his own rules.He was pictured without a mask covering his face over the Thanksgiving weekend in a shop that had a sign on the window requiring customers to wear face coverings,the BBC reported.12．What is the zero-COVID policy?A．The vaccine can kill all the variants of the epidemic.B．No one goes out and people will close the doors for isolation.C．It is a useful measure to reduce the local infection.D．It is a serious control method to clear the cases.13．What does the underlined word“flouting”mean?A．observing B．hating C．going against D．following 14．Which means does the author NOT use to develop the passage?A．By following the time order.B．By giving examples.C．By making comparisons.D．By quoting.15．What is the main idea of the report?A．Western countries are likely to be affected by Omicron.B．Despite the Omicron variant,it is still under control in China.C．Western choice is helpless when faced with COVID-19.D．Biden call on Americans to deal with the epidemic seriously.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
