广东省2020-2021学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题分类汇编-七选五广东省佛山市2020-2021学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题根据短文内容，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。

Faux pas is a French word which means words or behaviors that make us look impolite or rude - when in fact we did not mean to be impolite or rude. For example: We ask a lady "Oh, when is the baby due?” when the lady is not actually pregnant （怀孕的）一she's just quite overweight. When we make a faux pas, we often realize our mistake immediately, but it's too late.26 Generally speaking, don't try to hide the mistake. This will always make the situation worse. Apologizing is not the solution, either. In fact, trying to apologize will probably make the situation much worse.The most effective method is the story method. So before reacting, take a deep breath, keep calm and follow the simple story rule: tell a story - of a bigger, more serious faux pas. 27 If you tell the story quickly and in a convincing way, your embarrassment will disappear.28 This one works best when you are the victim （受害者）of a faux pas. If you are the artist and someone says "I think these paintings look like they were painted by a drunk child.” You can reply with: "Oh, that's exactly the style I was trying to achieve - the drunk child style."29 That way, the person will feel less bad about the original comment.Remember, modem manners （礼貌）do not mean being perfect. 30 You need to react in the correct way instead of hiding. So now you know how to deal with a faux pas, and you are one step closer to having perfect modem manners.A. Another method is the joke method.B. How can we avoid making such mistakes?C. There's another way to correct our mistakes.D. It means fixing a social situation that has gone wrong.E. Your reply sends the message that you don't really care.F. What are the modem manners for dealing with faux pas?G. The idea is to make the faux pas situation right now seem much smaller.【答案】26 F27 G28 A29 E30 D广东省梅州市2020-2021学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题根据短文内容，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。

To my horror, I could only fit into a size 20.Being overweight most of my adult life, I always had very little self-confidence. Wearing a dress I didn’t like to such an important event was enough to make me look for help. Thankfully, a friend of mine was attending Weight Watchers meetings, and I noticed her great progress. Her success inspired me to give it a try. I joined Weight Watchers, attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System.I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting! I discovered that I enjoyed the benefits of having the help and support of others. I also read the weekly online e-newsletter and was inspired by the stories, recipes and information offered there, I also read magazines produced by Weight Watchers, which have great tips and new ideas in each issue.It’s hard for me to even remember the person I was before my amazing change. I didn’t walk anywhere and couldn’t wash my car or walk my dog. Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them. But the change didn’t happen overnight. I had to exercise with patience and perseverance (坚持）. I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with if for good.The “new me” is more self-confident and healthier. I love how I feel now.I have more energy and feel like I’m 25 again. So why not give Weight Watchers a try if you have the same overweight problem?4. The underlined word “inspired” in the second paragraph can be replaced byA. excitedB. movedC. encouragedD. forced5. We can learn from the passage that the writer .A. often went shopping before she lost weightB. was overweight when she was a childC. ever wanted to give up losing weightD. now is more confident than before6. This passage is written to .A. tell us how to gain self-confidenceB. show off the great progress that the author has madeC. give us some tips on how to lose weight quicklyD. advise overweight people to give Weight Watchers a try7. Which of the following word will you use to describe the writer?A. Weak.B. Calm.C. Patient.D. Silent.CPeople who often eat nuts appear to live longer, according to the latest study of its kind. The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested the greatest benefit was in those eating them on their daily diet.Eating nuts was linked to a healthier lifestyle including being less likely to smoke or be overweight and more likely to exercise. The British Heart Foundation said more research was needed to prove the link, “While this is an interesting link, we need further research to make sure if it's the nuts that protect heart health, or other sides of people’s lifestyle .”The study followed nearly 120,000 people for 30 years. The more regularly people ate nuts, the less likely they were to die during the study. People eating nuts once a week were 11% less likely to have died during the study than those who never ate nuts. Lead researcher Dr. Charles Fuchs, from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said, “The most obvious benefit was a decrease of 29%in deaths from heart disease, but we also saw a significant reduction-11%-in the danger of dying from cancer.”They suggest nuts are lowering cholesterol(胆固醇). and insulin resistance(胰岛素抗性). Nuts contain unsaturated fat(不饱和脂肪), protein(蛋白质) and several kinds of vitamins and minerals and they can take the place of snacks like chocolate bars, cakes and biscuits.Victoria Taylor, senior expert at the British Heart Foundation, said, “This study shows close connection between regularly eating a small handful of nuts and a lower risk of death from heart disease.” Choosing plain, unsalted foods rather than sweet, salted, or chocolate-covered will keep your salt and sugar intake down.8. According to the passage, what kind of people benefit most form eating nuts?A. Those who eat most nuts at a time.B. Those who eat most nuts.C. Those who eat nuts on their daily diet.D. Those who eat less nuts.9. Which kind of disease had a most decrease for regular nuts eater?A. CancerB. Heart diseaseC. Stomach diseaseD. Unknown10. The writer developed the article mainly by .A. providing factsB. giving exampleC. listing dataD. comparing the difference11. Which section should the passage be taken from the newspaper?A. Science sectionB. Health sectionC. Entertainment sectionD. Tech sectionDOn the third Sunday in June, Americans take time to recognize and thank a special person in the family -fathers! Father’s Day celebrates the importance of fathers, young and old and the men thought of as father figures.The words "the child is father of the man" come from William Wordsworth’s poem My Heart Leaps Up. "It means people’s personalities form when they are children. They will most likely have the same qualities as an adult that they had as a child.Used in everyday speech, one could say, "In his case, the child was father of the man; he loved nature as a child and now works as a botanist(植物学家)".Let’s say you want to tell a child a story about something that happened long before they were born. You could say it happened when they “were just a twinkle in their father's eyes.” This expression has a humorous and dreamy feel. Here, the word “twinkle” suggests the interest your father had in your mother.When a much older man is interested in a much younger woman and supports her with his money, he is called he “sugar daddy.” The money part is very important-that's the sugar.Sometimes fathers are not a good influence or active in the lives of the children. In that case, a person may look for a father figure, a man who is not actually the person's father but who acts like one.The relationship between a man and his son can be complex. But the relationship between a father and daughter is often simpler. The expression “daddy’s little girl” is understood to mean that, in a father’s eyes, his daughter can do no wrong.There is usually not a dry eye at any wedding during the traditional father-and-daughter dance, especially if they are dancing to a song like Michael Buble’s “Daddy's Little Girl.”12. If a boy behaves just like his father, we can say .A. he is just a twinkle in his father’s eyesB. he is his sugar daddyC. like father, like sonD. the child is father of the man13. What do you know about “the child is father of the man”?A. A child is often spoiled by his father.B. People’s characters are formed when young.C. A boy will become a father when growing up.D. A child always shows his true nature.14. According to the passage, the song Daddy’s Little Girl is likely to beA. movingB. SorrowfulC. CrazyD. funny15. The author writes the passage mainly to .A. introduce the origin of Father’s DayB. show a boy should respect his fatherC. explain the importance of fathersD. tell people several expressions about father.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

It is held for the first time.BZhao Yishen bends over, his eyes staring at the woodblock (木刻印版). Holding a chisel (凿子) in his right hand, he guides it forward carefully and exactly across the woodblock using his left hand. To carve the woodblocks, the young craftsman has to hold this position for six hours. He has been carving woodblocks since 2012.“It feels good and looks beautiful when a Chinese character slowly appears on the woodblock under your chisel,” says Zhao. Zhao is now the only full-time carver working at the Zhuyu Shanfang studio, a workshop that focuses on creating woodblock-printed books in Beijing. Each carved woodblock has ink applied and goes on to print a text onto hundreds of pieces of paper. Zhao carves around 20 Chinese characters each day, which means it takes him one year or even a longer time to complete a set of woodblocks fit for a whole book.As a teenager he loved to read ancient Chinese books in the library, and the curiosity of how the books were made led him to get a job at the Guangling Guji ancient books woodblock printing studio in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, in 2011 after graduating as a law major from college.Block printing was listed as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009. Zhao was introduced to one of the technique’s masters, Chen Yishi, in 2012 and started to learn the skill from him.In Zhao’s mind, the inked woodblock is a work of art. After a year of learning from Chen, Zhao found a job at Zhuyu Shanfang in 2013, where he upgraded his carving skills. With his progress, his carved woodblocks have been used for more and more books over the past years.“I have just learned the basic skills, but to master it, I still need years of practice,” says Zhao. “A good craftsman can carve an entire book with every single character lined evenly.”4. What can we know about Zhao Yishen’s work?A. It is a flexible part-time job.B. It involves the printing work.C. It needs much effort and time.D. It includes creating characters.5. What made Zhao Yishen become a carver?A. The family influence.B. His major in college.C. The difficulty of finding a proper job.D. His interest in ancient Chinese books.6. Which can best describe Zhao Yishen as a carver?A. Modest and hard-working.B. Talented and knowledgeable.C. Ambitious and clever.D. Creative and confident.7. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The popularity of woodblocks.B. A traditional block printing studio.C. A craftsman with a traditional skill.D. The development of woodblock-printed books.CIf you were a superhero, what would your super power be? Would you want to fly or be invisible? Or, perhaps, you’d rather have the power to read minds? Wouldn’t that be cool?Reading minds is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow them to talk to a computer―without anyone else hearing.The device, called AlterEgo, allows a person to control a computer and ask it questions without ever saying one word. When a person wearing the device thinks of a word or a phrase but does not speak it, AlterEgo picks up the neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) signals in the person’s jaw and face. AlterEgo sends those signals to a computer, which is programmed to associate them with specific words.The device is fairly accurate. In a 10-person trial, AlterEgo had the 92 percent transcription (转录) accuracy. Researchers say that number will increase over time. “Our idea was: Could we have a computing platform that’s more internal, that combines humans and machines in some ways and that feels like an internal extension of our own thought?” Arnav Kapur, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab said.So what effect could this have on communication? AlterEgo can change the way humans communicate with computers, allowing us to silently connect with AI assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri without anyone knowing. If a person is having a conversation and wants to look up a bit of information, they don’t have to take out their computer or mobile phone;instead they can just think of the question. AlterEgo will answer without breaking in on the conversation. The device can also help people communicate with their voice in noisy situations, such as on a factory floor or on the deck of an aircraft carrier.8. Why are the questions raised in Paragraph 1?A. To ask readers for their opinions.B. To lead into the topic of the text.C. To inspire readers’ imagination.D. To show the author’s curiosity.9. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Questions.B. Computers.C. Signals.D. Devices.10. What’s the researchers’ attitude toward AlterEgo?A. Positive.B. Worried.C. Respectful.D. Unconcerned.11. What influence will AlterEgo have on people’s communication?A. People can apply AI assistants skillfully.B. People will become a good mind-reader.C. People no longer need mobile phones.D. People can communicate more smoothly.DSay “Sit” to your dog, and he’ll likely sit on the floor. But would he respond correctly if the word were spoken by a stranger, or someone with a thick accent? A new study shows he will, suggesting dogs understand spoken words in a clever and complicated way long thought unique to humans.Holly Root-Gutteridge, a biologist, and her colleagues ran a test. The researchers filmed 42 dogs of different breeds as they sat with their owners near an audio speaker that played noncommand words with similar sounds, such as “had”, “hid”, and “who’d”. The words were spoken—not by the dog’s owner—but by several strangers, men and women of different ages and with different accents.In the video above, the dog Max turns quickly and listens seriously when he hears a woman say “had” for the first time. But as other women with different accents repeat the word, he loses interest, indicating he knows they are all saying the same word. When a speaker says a new word, like “who’d”, Max cheers up again, but his attention flags when a new voice returns to saying “had”. Together, these reactions suggest dogs recognize words regardless of the speaker—and that they don’t need any training to do it, the team reports today in Biology Letters.“It’s wonderful—and novel—to see research looking at dogs’ reactions to words that are not commands or requests,” says Alexandra Horowitz, a researcher at Barnard College in New York City. Because of the nature of the test, however, the scientists cannot show that the dogs “understood” what the words meant, Horowitz points out. “But the work clearly demonstrates that dogs are listening to us,” she says, even when our speech is not about them.12. What can we learn from this study?A. Dogs can hear some simple words.B. Dogs can hear words like humans.C. Dogs cannot understand a stranger.D. Dogs know their owners’ meaning.13. What do the researchers do for the dogs in the study?A. Record their sounds.B. Record their reactions.C. Train their hearing ability.D. Train their learning ability.14. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The result of the study.B. A dog filmed in the study.C. An example of the research.D. Different reactions of the dogs.15. What is Horowitz’s attitude towards the study?A. Objective.B. Favorable.C. Opposed.D. Unclear.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。

But feeling anxious because you heard a noise on a dark street isn't the same thing as having an anxiety disorder. "The key thing we look for in the clinic is whether anxiety is interfering（妨碍）with a person's day-to-day life,or causing them a lot of unhappiness," says Nick Grey of King's College London. To clinical psychologists like Grey,"maladaptive（不恰当的）beliefs" are typical in anxiety disorders and are often used to determine the type of anxiety someone has. In social anxiety disorder,the most common anxiety disorder,you might believe that your face turning red will result in people laughing at you. People with this type of disorder experience constant and great fear before, during and after social events.If you have panic disorder,you might assume that you are having a heart attack if your heart starts to race. The physical symptoms of anxiety - a pounding heart, difficulty breathing, feeling dizzy - will then come on in a rush. Everyone can experience such panic attacks from time to time, but in panic disorder the attacks are regular and become a source of anxiety themselves. Other maladaptive beliefs are less specific. Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by continuous worries about a range of different events or activities,for at least six months. If you have this condition,the belief driving your anxiety could, for example, be the feeling it's your job to take care of other people, or that you have responsibilities that you must meet at all cost. To decide who to refer for further treatment,doctors might use a tool called the GAD7 test.（1）Which of the following belongs to an anxiety disorder？___A. Quarreling with parents.B. Getting to school earlier.C. Missing a lunch.D. Knocking on the wall.（2）What is social anxiety characterized by？___A. Continuous worries.B. Past experiences.C. Maladaptive beliefs.D. Frequent terrors.（3）What will happen to you when you have panic disorder？___A. You can't stand steadily.B. Your face turns red.C. You can't touch anything.D. Your hands feel numb.（4）What anxiety disorder occurs more often than others？___A. Generalized anxiety.B. Panic attacks.C. Social anxiety.D. Acute anxiety attacks.27.（填空题，10分）Rain beat against the window,matching my mood.I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true.Throughout the day,rumors （传言）warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off.I was the newest one in the training department.My boss appeared. "You probably know we're cutting back," he said. "Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs,showing them how to act in an interview,for example." "Fine," I answered unwillingly,not knowing what else to say.I decided to go home early that day.In the hall,I met the lady who brought us cookies every Friday.She was a little woman with gray hair.Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart （小车） loaded with cleaning supplies.At least she had a job!At the final meeting,laid-off workers formed a line at the door.A colleague whispered,"I can't believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off.We'll miss her as much as we'll miss her cookies." When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish,I knew my classes would be useless for her and I realized how much better off was than this poor woman.I decided to do something for her.I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job.A few days later,my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position.On the same day,I received aletter,which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice.

As a result,patients have no guarantee that their "treatment will be informed by science." Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment."The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment," he told me,and "there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science."The "widening" reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments.Thanks to strict clinical trials,we now know that teaching patientsto think about their thoughts in new,healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression,panic disorder and other problems,with multiple trials showing that these treatments the tools of psychology bring more lasting benefits than drugs.You wouldn't know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist.Although many treatments are effective,relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.Why in the world not？For one thing,says Baker from the University of Wisconsin,clinical psychologists are "very doubtful about the role of science" and "lack solid science training".Also,one third of patients get better no matter what treatment （if any） they have,"and psychologists remember these successes,believing,wrongly,that they are the result of the treatment."When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science,clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works.A 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice （诊所） found that they rely more on their own and colleagues' experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient.If they keep on this path despite the fact that insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine,warns Mischel,psychology will "discredit itself."（1）Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because ___ .A.they are unfamiliar with their patientsB.they believe in science and evidenceC.they rely on their personal experiencesD.they depend on their colleagues' help（2）The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to ___ .A.the cruel judgment by Walter MischelB.the great progress that has been made in psychological researchC.the fact that most patients get better after being treatedD.the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments（3）According to the passage,what is Mischel's attitude towards psychology？ ___A.Negative.B.Neutral.C.Indifferent.D.Positive.29.（填空题，10分）Now,chemists have discovered new potential in abundant building blocks：Through a series of reactions,scientists have shown that conventional bricks can be transformed into energy storage devices powerful enough to turn on LED lights. "What we havedemonstrated in our paper is sufficient enough for you to light up emergency lighting that's in a hallway or sensors that could be put inside the walls of a house," said Julio M.D'Arcy,an assistant professor of chemistry at Washington University in St.Louis,Missouri,and one of the study's authors. "The next step is trying to store more energy,so that you can power bigger devices like maybe a laptop directly from the walls of the house.""Bricks have been prized by architects for their capacity to store heat,but using them to hold electricity has never been tried before," D'arcy said.To allow the bricks to store electricity,the researchers pumped a series of gases inside the brick. "The gases react with the brick's chemical components,coating them with a web of plastic nanofiber（纳米纤维）known as a PEDOT，which is a good conductor of electricity,"he said.Though PEDOT can store large amounts of energy,this supercapacitor（超级电容器）cannot hold onto that charge or deliver sustained energy over long periods of time like batteries can. "A battery will give you energy density that will allow you to drive 300 miles,but a supercapacitor will allow you to accelerate very quickly at a red light," D'Arcy said.Still,scientists see potential in the bricks as a possible green energy solution.Right now,these "smart bricks" cannot compete with the energy storage potential of the lithium-ion（锂离子）batteries used in many solar power systems.However,there is hope that this new technology could be developed to provide a new storage method using readily available materials."The performance is a long way short of custom-made supercapacitors,but the principle is proven and there is significant room for improving the storage characteristics by optimizing the structure and chemistry of the bricks," said Dan Brett,a professor of electrochemical engineering at University College London,who was not involved in the study.（1）What will the scientists do about the bricks next according to M.D'Arcy？___A.Put the bricks into commercial use.B.Refer their paper to academic journals.C.Expand the bricks' ability of storing power.D.Develop new smart laptop with powered bricks.（2）What can we know about PEDOT？___A.It allows bricks to take up less space.B.It can protect bricks with a powered coat.C.It helps bricks store and conduct electricity.D.It can make the powered vehicles travel farther.（3）What does Professor Brett think of the smart bricks？___A.They need much more development.B.They are more environmentally-friendly.C.They will be released into the market soonD.They can be made according to consumers' requirements.（4）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "optimizing" in the last paragraph？___A.making the most ofB.trying out forC.breaking up withD.breaking away from30.（填空题，12.5分）Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance.

AAn earthquake is a trembling or shaking of the ground caused by the suddenrelease(开释) of energy stored in the rocks below the surface. Generally, earthquakes last only seconds. Strong ground shaking during a medium（中等的）to large earthquake generally lasts about 10 to 30 seconds. Aftershocks （余震） can occur once in a while for weeks or even months.Many people think that there is an “ earthquake season ” or a kind of “earthquake weather ” . As a matter of fact, there isn ’ t. Earthquakes can occur at any time ofthe year and at time of day or night. Earthquakes occur under all weather conditions-sunny, wet. or cold without any special weather tendency.Also, you don ’ t need to worry that the ground will open up and swallow peoplewhen earthquakes occur. Open ground cracks may form during an earthquake, for example, to land sliding or ground falling. However, such cracks tend to be open gaps (theydon’ t“ swallow” ) that a person could stand in afterwards.The safest place in an earthquake is an open field because buildings and fallingobjects can injure or kill you.

If he had moved Daddy, there’ s no telling what might have happened. Abroken rib(肋骨)might have pierced(穿透)a lung...”My mother may have said more, but I didn ’ t hear. I didn ’ t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from beinghurt more.

I’ ll be okay.”“ No, ” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. day.

The following aresome examples.The needlefish are commonly seen living near the surface of tropical ( 热带的 ) waters. But they can also break cover the water, and once in the air they can becomedangerous flying swords. Though it is rare, people have been seriously hurt and even killed by the fish. Night fishermen in small boats are at particular risk becausetheir lights may attract the fish.Saltwater crocodiles are the world's largest crocodiles, sometimes reaching 23feet in length and topping 2,200 pounds. Yet these crocodiles hunt quietly, lyingin wait below shoreline waters to attack turtles and thirsty animals that havecome to drink. Saltwater crocodiles kill a number of people each year.There is no doubt that the great white shark sits atop the ocean food chain. Theworld's largest fish can weigh at over 5,000 pounds and reach lengths of more than 20feet. Great white sharks have about 3,000 teeth, which they typically sink into sea lions,seals and sea turtles. These sharks are responsible for a third to a halfof the 100 shark attacks on humans every year.The sea anemone ( 海葵 ) may look like the beautiful flower for which it's named,but fish that swim too close may regret it. The sea anemone, which lives on the seafloor, uses its poisonous tentacles (触须) to stab passing creatures with a kind ofpoison — making them helpless and fit to be eaten.The surgeonfish (刺尾鱼 ) is an attractive reef fish that is poisonous.
