He fixed a whiteboard on it so he could explain to the students the basics of primary education:math, the local language and the national language Spanish.The purpose of the solar panelis to provide constant power for a small loudspeaker so he can teach from a distance. It's a matter of respecting the healthy distance required to be safe from the virus.

He says the color1 s of cars Americans choose do not show dirt. He says that means the owners wash their cars less in order to save money. And he notes some areas that are suffering from water shortages do not permit people to wash their cars often.Dan Benton works for a company called Axalta, which makes supplies for international car makers. He says white cars are often sold more expensive than cars of other color1 s. And he notes that white cars “absorb(吸收)less energy” than cars of other color1 s. This means temperatures inside them are lower in warmer areas. Benton also says research at Monash University in Australia suggests that there is a lower risk of crashes during the day for white cars compared with darker ones.Car buyers in other countries also like white. Jane Harrington works for PPG Industries, a company that makes paint for cars. She said in China, buyers say white makes a small car look bigger.About 11 percent of cars sold in North America are red and 8 percent are blue. Green has become less popular. Benton notes that in the mid-1990s green was the most popular color1 in North America. Today, green is hard to find.Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color1 of their cars —— technology may let owners change their cars’ paint color1 anytime.8. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Most Americans don’t like red cars.B. People in America are not allowed to wash their cars.C. Many people prefer to choose white cars in America.D. Americans may consider the cost of cleaning when choosing cars.9. Why do many people choose white cars?A. They are much cheaper than cars of other color1 s..B. They are much safer while crashing.C.

Most Americans rarely wash their cars.C. PPG Industries mainly produces cars in China.D. Green cars were once popular in North America.11. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Choices of car color1 sB. How to buy a good car.C. Differences of car color1 s.D. Popular car color1 s in history.DBeing a teacher is a rewarding career when it comes to changing lives, but it’s obviously one that comes with plenty of stresses and difficulties too.Seeking help for a child who is so obviously in need isn’t easy. Often, you feel ignored by the government.

She took on extra tutoring jobs outside of school hours, moved in with her parents, and even delivered groceries for cash. Along the way, she was learning how to be the best mom to Jerome and Jace, cooking for them and cheering them on at football matches.And now, just five years later,Chelseacan proudly say that she has paid off nearly $50, 000 of debt.

I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit myfather when he attempted to help him. Howcould he? Why? I couldn ' t understand it. I didn ' t like him anymore.I hadn ' t thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When Iknocked on the door, I met in an instantan angry look and a few harsh〔尖亥U的〕words. Whenthe door was slammed〔砰地关上〕in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. Whatbrought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal.Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend ' s wife had just left him.We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings.

And that could be a problem. Texting affects learning and performing on test, a new study finds. So a Montana teen, Colin decided to test that.They asked 47 classmates to take part in a two-part experiment. The goal was to test how well these students understood written material. Each one had to read a paragraph or two about a certain topic, then answer questions about it.In the first part, the participants had 15 minutes to understand and then answer questions about six readings. Throughout this test, they met no distractions.During a new set of readings, the brothers sent messages to the participants ' cell phonesevery 90 seconds. In each message, there were questions that required a reply.Participants should have scored better on the second test because it was easier. In fact, theyscored worse when distracted by messages. Only a few students scored as well when replying to messages as they did when undistracted. Butimportantly, nobody performed better during the texting part.The brothers presented details of their findings at the Intel International Science andEngineering Fair. Boys and girls scored equally poorly while texting, the brothers noticed. Older participants didn ' t do any better than younger ones. And it didn ' t matter if a student thoughthe was good at multitasking. On average, the brothers found that even students who were confident of their abilities did just as poorly while texting. Surprisingly, even though the students remembered less of what they read while texting, most of them answered questions in messages perfectly.“Our teachers are very happy to see these results, “ says Coler. The teens ' new data strongly support their teachers ' opini on that texting whilestudying is a serious distraction.61.What did Colter and Colin want to test?A.Cell phone use and texting are more common.B.Teens should avoid cell phone use and texting.C.Texting affects students ' performance on test.D.The effect of texting differs from person to person.62.What can we learn from the two-part experiment?A.The written material in the two parts was the same.B.Participants in part 2 received more than one message.C.The time of the test in two parts was the same.D.All the participants were distracted by messages.63.The brothers ' findings were related to participants ' .A. reading performanceB. qualityC. writing abilityD. reading speed64.From the results of the experiment, we can find.A.boys were better at multitasking than girlsB.the easier the tests were, the more mistakes were madeC.nobody did good jobs in the two-part experimentD.some students ' test results were not affected by texting65.What ' s Colter ' s teachers ' attitude toward the results?A. Surprised.B. Worried.C. Satisfied.D. Serious.DRain and cold weather this summersaw honey yields from hives( 巢)fall by almost three-quarters,the British Beekeepers Association(BBKA)said today. The average crop per hive was down 72% compared to last year, with just 3.6kg (81b) of honey produced compared to an annual average, the annual honey survey by the BBKA revealed.The survey of 2,712 beekeepers in England, Northern Ireland and Wales found that 88% said this summer s bad weather caused the descent in honey yields. The bad weather made it difficult forbees to excrete〔排泄〕,which led to disease easily, and the bad weather also increased the risk of keeping bees for heavy rain caused the places which bees regularly visited to meet natural disasters. The bad weather also influenced the plants flowering which increased the cost of keepingbees. The BBKA issued a midsummer warning to feed bees if necessary to avoid dying from hunger.But in London, which recorded the worst results with just 2.5kg 〔5.61b〕of honey harvested on average, beekeeping experts said that in addition to the bad weather there was a lack of food for bees in the city.Angela Woods, secretary of the London Beekeepers Association, said, “ Rather than putting beehives on office roofs, we encourage companies in London that want to help to look at different ways of supporting bees and beekeepers. We need more food for the bees and better-educated beekeepers.〞Elsewhere, the weather was the main problem. Peter Hutton, a beekeeper in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, said, “It has been the most difficult year I have known in my 53 years of beekeeping. Bad weather in spring prevented bees in many areas from collecting nectar〔花蜜〕from early-flowering crops such as oilseed rape〔油菜〕,and the rain continued in many places throughout June and July, preventing honeybees from searching for food on later crops. 〞The BBKA warned that as well as reducing the honey harvest, the bad weather is likely to have a longer-term influence as it will have affected the normal process of breeding for t he queens, which mate〔交配〕on the wing on fine, still summer days. As a result they may have mated poorly and be unable to produce enough new babies to see groups through the winter.66.According to the passage, last year the average crop per hive might be.A.5 kgB.7.2 kgC.10kgD.13 kg67.The underlined word “ descent " means.A. fallB. riseC. diseaseD. variety 68. What caused the lack of food?A.The bad weather in both autumn and winter.B.The bad weather in both winter and spring.C.The bad weather in both spring and summer.D.The bad weather in both summer and autumn.69.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A.The bad weather just affects honey harvest.B.The bad weather has effect on bees ' breeding.C.The bad weather only has a short-term impact on bees.D. The bad weather has effect on beeslife in winter.70.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to thepassage?A.The quality of the honeybees is influenced by the bad weather.B.London companies are encouraged to take part in helping bees and beekeepers.C.Both the cost and the risk of keeping bees are increased because of the bad weather.D.Better-educated beekeepers are needed to improve the bad situations that the bad weather brought to bees.第II卷非选择题〔共35分〕第三局部:写作〔共二节,总分值35分〕第一节:阅读表达〔共5小题;每题2分,总分值10分〕阅读下面的短文,请根据短文后的要求做题.Rock climbing requires not only physical strength, but also complete mental concentration.So it is not an easy sport. But this may not be true for 20-year-old Sasha diGuilian. This fearless girl who has been dominating the sport ever since she entered this field is just getting warmed up.The youngster who is also studying for a creative writing degree at Columbia University says that she began climbing even before she could walk. As a baby, she constantly escaped from her bed and led her friends to the nearest rocks or hills. Then at the age of seven she attended brother ' s birthday party at a local rock climbing gym and found her gift for it.Soon after, she joined the local center in her hometown of Alexandria, Virginia and began climbing - first once a week, then twice and soon, almost every day. At the age of nine, she won her first climbing competition by participating in an event that she hadn ' t even been aware of,until she went to the gym for her normal climbing routine. Her competitive nature and love for the sport immediately reached the peak and she began training seriously, but this time outside the gym —climbing real mountains.As a youngster, she dominated the Junior Continental Championships from 2004 to 2021. Then shewent on to catch the Pan American Championship and the US National Championship as soon as she was old enough. And in 2021, at just 18 years old, she was crowned〔力口冕〕Female Overall World Champion in Arco, Italy at her first attempt.Sasha diGuilian is also the youngest woman who has completed the 5.14d graded climb in which climbers must climb rocks that are vertical. The5.14d graded climb is regarded as the most difficult climb and it is something that even the most experienced climbers are a little afraid to take on, because a small slip could result in a severe injury or even death.71.What does the underlined word a dominating 〞〔Paragraph 1〕 mean?〔1 word〕n find she had the talent for rock climbing?

Besides, so many tests do we face everyday that I feel extremely stressed, even can' t fall asleep sometimes at night.

2019-2020学年天津外国语大学附属外国语学校高三英语上学期期末试题及答案解析第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABob and Sue Harvey spent nine years as resident fellows in a dormitory at Sanford and in their bookVirtual Reality and The College Freshman, they write “The Freshman oftenfaces an identity problem during the first semester.” College is a more pressured environment than it used to be, in part because the academic gap between high school and college has increased. Many college freshmen have never had to make independent decisions about sex, drugs and alcohol. Most don’t know how to manage their time or money. They often feel lonely and overwhelmed, resulting in anxiety and depression.Nancy Corbin, director of clinical service for student-counseling (咨询) services at Iowa State University, says her office is seeing a significant increase in requests for counseling from freshmen who are having trouble making the adjustment to college life. She says older teenagers increasingly lack the skills to deal with personal problems that aren’t easily defined or fixed. And they get homesick but have a hard time admitting it.Parents and high schools can make things easier on freshmen by preparing them differently. For example, by teaching them to budget their hours and dollars. The Harveys think high schools should offer a college-life course. “Parents need to focus more on relationship and personal issues and less on how many sheets and towels to take,” they say. Many homesick freshmen think they’ll be regarded as failures if they come home before Thanksgiving. So parents can help by letting them know they’re welcome to return if they feel the need. In the meantime, parents have to find new ways to keep in touch with their college kids. One of the best ways is e-mail. It’s less unpleasant and less expensive than constant phone calls and is more likely to be answered than a handwritten letter.1. Why is the first semester difficult for freshmen in college?A. Because they often fail in exams.B. Because they lack time and money.C. Because they are too homesick to make new friends.D. Because they have to settle personal issues on their own.2. In the last paragraph, it is suggested that ________.A. parents should stop buying anything for their kidsB. parents should develop a good relationship with their kidsC. parents should be taught how to send e-mails to their kidsD. parents should work with high schools in college-life courses3. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Hard Life of College FreshmenB. Approaches to Trouble in CollegeC. Freshmen’s Adaptation ProblemsD. A Strange Phenomenon in CollegeBIn 2002, young Elon Musk tried unsuccessfully to buy Russian rockets to help him send mice to Mars and back. Afterwards, the youngmillionaire decided to build his own rockets.Musk went to Southern California and started hiring people to help bring his dream to life. In a very short time, and despite some failures, his company SpaceX launched Falcon 1, the first successful privately-built liquid fuel rocket, into Earth's orbit in 2008.As the first Falcon rocket began testing, development was already underway for the Falcon 9. This much larger rocket, which uses nine engines to lift heavy payloads(有效载荷)into orbit, is engineered to return to Earth, ready to be reused for another flight.For Musk, space is the final destination. To help people get there, his company Neuralink is developing devices that will link people's brains with computers. A similar device has been developed at the University of Utah. It consists of a chip(芯片)with 256 threads(线程)that is placed between a person's skin and brain. The threads attach directly to brain tissue(脑组织).Patients who have the device are able to use only their minds to communicate with one another through computers.Neuralink's chips will have about 1,000 threads. A robot developed by the company will place up to ten chips under a person's skin. The chips will communicate without wires but with a tiny device that will be worn behind the person's ear. That device, in turn, will communicate with computers. The primary market for the technology will be for people that, because of injuries or birth defects, cannot control their hands and arms. With Neuralink^ product, they'll be able to mentally command a computer to type messages for them or carry out other tasks.4. According to this article, what was the first Falcon 1 able to do?A. Launch big satellites.B. Reach distant moons.C. Move around our planet.D. Study the universe.5. What does the article explain about Neuralink's chips?A. How they'll be set up.B. What safety features they'll have.C. How much money they'll earn.D. Where they'll be produced.6. According to this article, who is Neuralink going to market its product to first?A. Those who own great wealth.B. Those who are physically disabled.C. Those who travel internationally.D. Those who do research on plants.7. In which publication is this article most likely to appear?A. The Journal of Environmental Studies.B. Advances in Business and Technology.C. Digest of Fashion and Entertainment News,D. Consumer's Guide to Outdoor Recreation.CKids ages 6 to13 inCape Town,South Africa, really do dig learning at school! With the help of the Earthchild Project, which is offered in schools in two townships, students make worm(蠕虫) farms. The worms break down food waste and make the soil richer. Kids grow seedlings(幼苗) in containers and learn about the importance of good nutrition.The school program also offers yoga(瑜伽). Teachers find that the exercises help students focus better. The students enjoy Earthchild activities. “The children gets so excited”, says teacher Vuyelwa Rola.“The society we are in has a lot of noise. When students are taking part in the Earthchild Project, they feel calm.”Director Janna Kretzmar came up with the idea for the project in 2005. She read about schools inIndiathat involved kids in yoga and learning outside the classroom. She developed the Earthchild Project to offer similar activities inCape Townschools.“We hope the Earthchild Project can help students find solutions to all the challenges they are facing in the world today,” Kretzmar said. “The best place to create change is with the youth, through education.”The Earthchild Project combines schoolwork with hiking, gardening, healthy living, and yoga. “We need more than just math and science to become happy, healthy, inspired, and active citizens of our communities,” says Kretzmar. In some communities inCape Town, children live in poverty. They must walk long distances to get clean drinking water. Life is hard. But according to the Earthchild Project’s Carly Appleby, the project works to give hope to every child. “Students who have hope,” she says, “aim for bigger goals”.8. What do students benefit from yoga?A. It helps them calm down.B. It helps them concentrate.C. They can learn some living skills.D. They can learn about the importance of nutrition.9. What are students’ attitude towards the Earthchild Project?A. Uncaring.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Negative.10. What do you know about the Earthchild Project?A. It was founded in 2005.B. It only offers outside activities.C. The idea came up by Vuyelwa Rola.D. It is aimed at helping students find solutions to challenges.11. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Hard Life inSouth Africa.B. Students’ school life inCape Town.C. Hope from Earthchild Project inCape Town.D. The differences between traditional lessons and Earthchild Project.DJoy Mangano is now an American inventor.

I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it19 growing until we could find out what it was.Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the 20 plant, it appeared to be a sunflower.I decided to 21 the weeds around it.

It offers sweeping views over the city and Mount Vesuvius in the distance.The BasicsThe site on which Castel dell’ Ovo now stands has a long history, beginning as a settlement for Greek colonists(殖民地定居者). The current castle was built in the 15th century, and today, the 19th-century fishing village of Borgo Marinari, known for its excellent seafood restaurants and marina(游艇停靠区), sits at the base of the castle.The Egg CastleThe origin of the castle’s name comes from a story about the Roman poet Virgil, who is said to have placed a magical egg in the foundations beneath where the castle now stands. As long as the egg stays well, Castel dell’ Ovo will remain standing.Things to Know Before you Go·Castel dell’ Ovo is a must-see for history and architecture enthusiasts.·Admission to the castle and the museum is free.·The inner halls of the castle are open to the public only during special events and exhibitions; the ramparts (城墙) and towers are always open.·There is a lift from the ground floor to the ramparts, making the castle accessible to wheelchairs.How to Get ThereCastel dell’ Ovo is located in the Bay of Naples just off the coastal road.

Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these year.” I say to her, walking bank into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a p encil. Can’t you afford a pen?”My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible(看不到的)exhibits at every meal. 41.Why has the author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?A.To leave messages.

It entered the English language in the 1850s, specifically to describe the casual wall writing that experts found in Pompeii and the Roman tombs. Originally a term used only in ancient scribbling, the word has undergone considerable expansion of meaning in the past 75 years so that it now refers to any written message on a wall. Graffiti are characterized by their casualness; if they were more formal, they would be known as inscriptions(铭文).The first piece of graffiti was found on one of the walls of the city Pompeii, which was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.It was one of 1,600 pieces of graffiti uncovered in Pompeii during a dig in the 19th century. Not surprisingly, there is much evidence of graffiti writing on the pyramid and temples of ancient Egypt. It is likely that ever since people have had walls and materials to scratch or paint with, they have been engaged in this simplest form of communication.The writing of graffiti gives people a unique opportunity to achieve some kind of public audience. Thus short poems, declarations of love, pieces of political and revolutionary polemic(论战), and criticisms of institutions and people form a significant part of graffiti.Apart from its usefulness in terms of self-expression, graffiti is also a valuable source for historians. There is always the possibility that historical events may be recorded by the presence of graffiti. Perhaps the most interesting example of this is the graffiti relating to the gladiatorial(角斗士) contests held in Pompeii. Graffiti can also give us a unique view into the daily life and customs of a people, for its casual expression encourages the recording of details that more formal writing would tend to ignore.In the late 1970s, graffiti became popular. A thought written on a toilet wall in Wolverhampton can now be read in Chicago or Adelaide. In its own way, this is probably the most fascinating example of McLuhan’s concept of “the global village”. We now have a worldwide toilet wall.46.According to the first paragraph, graffiti________.A.is another name for “inscription”B.got its name from the English languageC.was born in the 1850sD.Mainly refers to casual writing or pictures on walls47.What can be inferred from the second paragraph?A.Graffiti has a long history.B.Graffiti is an attractive form of art.C.Graffiti made the ancient city Pompeii famous.D.Graffiti was ancient Egyptian’s main way of communica tion.48.What does the third and fourth paragraphs mainly tell us?A.Graffiti’s great value.B.Graffiti’s features.C.Graffiti’s way of expression.D.Graffiti’s connection with people’s daily life.49.The graffiti relating to the gladiatorial contests is mentioned in the passage to prove that ______.A.graffiti can show people’s customsB.graffiti can provide valuable historical evidenceC.graffiti was mainly used to record important eventsD.graffiti can provide more detailed information than formal writing50.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that______.A.the presence of graffiti makes the world closely connectedB.the concept of “the global village” is famous worldwideC.graffiti has become very popular all over the worldD.people like using toilet walls to share their graffitiFrom now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created:the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. Youwere born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs. They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.51.People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they______________ .
