The story has since been used as a warning by parents to stop their children from __1__(lie).But believe it or not, this old fairy tale has some truth in it, because a new study shows that your nose can give you away if you lie. However, instead of growing longer, researchers say our noses heat up if we tell tall tales.Live Science reported that __2__ the change of body temperature is difficult to see with the naked eye, heat cameras can help us identify it. Researchers from the University of Granada in Spain introduced thermographic (热感成像的) cameras into their experiment. These kind of cameras were first used in wars to search for people because it can detect (探测) the heat _3___ (come)from human bodies. This is the first time that it _4____ (use) in psychological (心理学的) research.__5__(watch) the participants through the thermographic camera, researchers soon noticed the temperature change on their faces ---– when they told a lie, their nose started to heat up, as well as the muscles around the inner corner of their eyes. They also found that people’s faces got hotter when they were feeling anxious, and cooler when they did difficult mental tasks.This change in temperature all comes from a part of the brain called the insula (脑岛). Here’s ___6__it works: The insula controls both our emotion (情绪) and body temperature. When we lie about our feelings, the insula is activated (激活), _7___(cause) our face temperature to rise, especially around our nose.In fact, the “Pinocchio effect”, ___8___ it has been called, is just a part of the researchers’ study about how our body temperature changes with our mental states. Empathy (移情作用), for example, can also be detected this way.In the experiment, researchers showed a video of a person __9__(get) an electric shock in thearm. Among all the people __10__ watched this video, researchers found that those who were highly empathic would get hotter in their arms. This means that they were feeling the other p erson’s pain.Section B (10’)Directions:Complete the following sentences by using the words or phrases in the box.

Like many bike share programs across America, the project aims to make biking 53 and convenient for every student on the campus. As the cold winter 54 , the bikes are being moved into storage, but that has not stopped the organization from continuing to 55 money in the hope of expanding the program in the coming years.Big Red Bikes put 20 bikes on the campus for the students to use in May 2011. Six months later, 20 more were added. The hope is to finally expand the program to 56 100 bikes and more parking station.As the need for the program increases, Big Red Bikes is working in a highly democratic manner to determine how to expand the program. The organization sent out a campus-wide 57 to decide where to put future parking stations and get advice on bike models. For example, the second 20-bike addition has a 58 different model and includes a basket.Though it is only a campus-wide program at present, it could contribute to a larger national 59 . Boris Suchkov, the finance director of Big Red Bikes, explained, “When graduates go to live somewhere else, they have this expectation that biking should be a part of life.” He added, “We believe that students who are 60 to an environmentally sustainable transport systemduring their college years will be more likely to 61 and need sustainable systems of all kinds in the future.”III.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AI was impressed by a lecture presented by a famous memory expert, Ron White. Ron started the lecture by having 250 people in attendance get up from their seats. He then asked everyone to take off the name tags they were issued when they entered the lecture hall and put them away for a moment.Ron then went around the room and addressed each person individually by name and asked them to take a seat!How did Ron know the names of the 250 people in attendance? He had learned them all in 45 minutes while walking around the room, reading name tags. And, to be honest, he probably didn’t need that long.Ron is a two-time national memory champion, winning the USA Memory Championship in 2009 and 2010. He holds the record for being the fastest to memorize a deck of shuffled (打乱的) cards in only 1 minute and 27 seconds.His secret is similar to what Dale Carnegie talks about in his book, How to Develop Self-confidence & Influence People by Public Speaking, where he says the “natural laws of remembering” are impression, repetition and association.The basis for this method involves associating pictures with names and numbers that you can easily recall. For example, for the number “ten”, associate a picture of something that sounds like “ten”, such as a “hen” or “pen”. Then imagine that the tenth item you have to recall is a windmill (风车). To associate the name, do not think of the word “ten” at all. Instead, imagine a fantastic image in your mind of a hen sitting on a windmill, or a windmill pumping ink to fill the pen.When you are asked what the tenth object was called, don’t think of “ten”, but rather, ask yourself where the hen was sitting, or picture ink spewing (喷涌) out of the top of the windmill and flowing into the top of the pen.The study of memory is a fascinating subject and one that will serve you well if you put in some time reading up on the techniques to develop it.77. The author was impressed by the memory expert because ___________.A. he had the habit of remembering people’s namesB. he started the lecture by asking the audience to get upC. he asked the audience to put away their name tagsD. he learned the names of the audience in just 45 minutes78. What can we learn about Ron White from the passage?A. He is as famous as Dale Carnegie.B. He has written a book about how to remember cards quickly.C. He won the USA Memory Championship twice.D. He is proud of impressing people with his talent.79. What is the key step in the process of association?A. Think of the names to remember in your mind.B. Imagine the names and numbers to be simple things.C. Repeat the names and numbers as much as possible.D. Associate fantastic images that sound like the names and numbers.80. What will the author probably discuss in the following paragraph?A. The benefits of mastering the techniques to develop memory.B. A comment by the famous memory expert.C. How the memory theory influences people.D. The popularity of the national memory championship.BParents caught lying to the authorities to get their children into top state schools will have their children’s places automatically withdrawn under new rules.Officials will investigate at least 10% of applications to root out cheating, and set up a hotline for parents to report their doubts about other families. If a family moves within the year of making an application, officials will make an re-examination of the case to check if they have given false information about where they live in order to get into a top-performance nearby school.Officials said that parents should sign a statement, promising their application was truthful after being given clear warnings. If cheating was detected, the child’s place would be withdrawn immediately.Officials statistics published by the Department for Children, Schools and Families today showed that one in six children in England did not get into their first choice secondary school. In total 83.2% of families were given a place at their top preferred school on National Offer Day earlier this month, which is unchanged from last year. But there were huge regional differences around the country – in London and Birmingham, only 66% got their first choice school. Some 94.9% of children got a place at one of their top three preferred schools, which is slightly up from last year.Officials also recommended a media campaign to point out that lying to get a place is not a victimless crime. Educators estimated that only a tiny minority of parents applied dishonestly, and they commented that every place gained by cheating is denying another child his rightful place. No child should be punished for his parents’ actions, but neither should families on waiting lists be unfairly disadvantaged or delayed.81. If you suspect someone has used false information in their application, you can ___________A. re-examined the case and check it out.B. report it to the related schoolC. ask to withdraw the child’s placeD. dial a special phone number82. It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that ______________.A. far more children can go to their first preferred school than beforeB. children in big cities have more chances of attending satisfying schools.C. the application situations differ in different parts of BritainD. 94.9 % of children have the chance to go to their top preferred school83. The underlined part “lying to get a place is not a victimless crime”in the last paragraphmeans _____________.A. what liars get is at the cost of others’ rightB. people who lie to get a place are criminalsC. schools should have liars’ places withdrawnD. children should be punished for their parents’ deeds84. Why did the author write the text?A. To introduce the overall situation of school applications in Britain.B. To summarize application methods for preferred schools.C. To stress the negative consequences of lying.D. To remind people that dishonesty in school applications will be punished.CWarmer weather will most likely make it impossible for polar bears to survive on the shores of Hudson’s Bay, Canada, in 20 to 30 years. So says the worlds’ best-known polar bear expert, Ian Stirling, who has studied polar bears as a biologist for 41 years – longer than anyone else in the field.“It’s not speculation (猜测),”said Stirling. “By the middle of the century, we’re likely to have lost two thirds of the worl d’s polar bears.”While Stirling has little hope for the bears of Hudson’s Bay, he remains optimistic that Canadians can save the majestic species living farther north by taking action on climate change.The loss of Arctic ice is the main threat to Canada’s southern-most polar bear populations. An estimated 1,600 bears live in the region, according to satellite images. Stirling said, “That’s faster than most scientific models predicted.”Since his first visit in 1970 to Churchill, Canada’s polar bear hub for tourists and scientists alike, the ice has progressively melted earlier and frozen later. Without ice floes (冰川), the bears have no platform from which to hunt their meal of choice — the ringed seal. Larger bears can snag the occasional walrus (海象) on land, but the entire population can’t get by without seals.The most crucial feeding time for the bears is between early April and July when the ringed seals are young, unaware and easier to catch. Bears gain up to 70 per cent of their yearly energy during this period, so it can be deadly when it’s cut short by three weeks, Stirling said.W hen they’re starving,they go searching for an alternate foo d source, and that’s mainly going to be human settlements,” said Stirling. The majority of these hostile interactions happen in Churchill, where a polar bear jail has been set up to hold aggressive bears.Stirling said, “Canada is home to more than 60 per cent of the world’s estimated 25,000 polar bears. Studying them throws light on the entire Arctic ecosystem. They’re a fantastic part of biodiversity of the planet. “If Canadians don’t care about what’s happening in the Arctic in general and polar bears i n particular, then why should the rest of the world care?”85. From Stirling, we can learn that _________.A. the polar bears in Canada will disappear in 20 to 30 yearsB. all the polar bears in the world will disappear by the middle of the centuryC. Canadians can save the polar bears by making them live farther northD. the polar bears’ situation is worse than what most scientific models predicted86. What is the main threat to the polar bears in Hudson’s Bay?A. Being hunted by man.B. The loss of Arctic ice.C. The decline of the ringed seal.D. The development of local tourism.87. Which of the following is NOT true?A. There is a polar bear jail in Churchill.B. It is estimated that about 25,000 bears live in the world.C. 10% of the Arctic ice has disappeared per year since 1979.D. From early April to July is an important time for the polar bears.88. In the last paragraph, what is the purpose of Stirling’s words?A. To call on Canadians to protect polar bears.B. To analyze the entire Arctic ecosystem.C. To ask Canadians to focus on their living conditions.D. To tell Canadians that it is too cold for polar bears.I.

But the park is different from a movie where you just sit and look at things. Visitors can walk through things and can try on an astronaut's clothes and taste his food.“Projects like this are bigger than movies as you have to let people's experiences come alive,” the imagineer explained. “To be an imagineer, you have to be up and you have to be ready to do the impossible.” He did admit, however, that even this field, with its fantastic ideas, is not without its limitations. The hardest thing for the imagineer is that his work is “always a dialogue between creativity and money”. That means business is involved.“So, my role is to be open to different ideas and to make the best compromise (妥协)between what it costs and what you want to do,” he said. When asked about what it takes to become a good imagineer, Bremble said, “It's about dreaming and reading.”The word “imagineer” sounds good, which makes you think of a stylish profession where you just sit in front of a laptop with a cup of coffee, waiting for the ideas to jump out of your mind. Then you cash in on them. But it's not as easy or as comfortable as that. For one thing, Bremble sleeps less than a lot of people do and eats fast food. For another, he has to keep his mind running and evolving and upgrading. But, maybe that's why this career attracts ambitious young minds. 4．What can we know about Bremble?A．He is imaginative and creative.B．He’ll apply for a new project in Beijing.C．His new job is the same as making a movie.D．He worked as a movie director at the theme park.5．What does Bremble find the most difficult in his new job?A．To be open to different ideas.B．To make big profits for the company.C．To let people's experiences come alive.D．To keep a balance between creativity and money.6．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．It's easy to be an imagineer.B．Imagineer is a stylish profession.C．Bremble's job is hard and challenging.D．The job is too hard to attract ambitious minds. 7．In which column(专栏) of a magazine can the text be found?A．Social Insight.B．Figure Interview.C．Arts and Culture.D．Travel and Adventure.You may have heard the old saying, “The more, the merrier.” It’s usually true, but not for travel. When it comes to travel, I say, “The more, the messier.”I first figured this out a few years ago. I bought the cheapest airline ticket I could find: the Philippines. It turned out great! Once, I went on a long hike and missed the last bus back to town. No problem! Because I was traveling alone, I was able to ride with some Swiss tourists who only had one extra seat in their van(货车). Traveling alone, I was never really alone at all. It was easier to meet people. I talked to everyone I met.I’m not alone in my preference for solo travel. According to the Daily Mail, there has been a 143 percent increase in “solo travel” internet searches over the past three years. This makes it one of the fastest growing parts of the travel industry.To me, it’s obvious why people like it. It’s easier to plan. Just pack your bag and go straight to your dream place. If you involve other people, you’ll have to make compromises with your time and money.Besides freedom, for some people, solo travel is a journey for the mind and soul. They believe solo travel helps them escape trivial (琐碎的) problems of daily life and social activities. “I need peace. I need quiet,” said Suzanne Joinson in the Telegraph. “And most of all, I really,really need to be alone.” No wonder US author Henry Rollins once wrote: “Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.”8．What’s the author’s purpose in mentioning the old saying at the beginning of the text?A．To arouse people’s thinking.B．To prove it’s completely wrong.C．To introduce his opinion on travel.D．To show people’s opinions on happiness. 9．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Few people prefer solo travel.B．Not all the people like solo travel.C．Some other people also like solo travel.D．The author doesn’t feel lonely when travelling alone.10．According to the context, if people travel with their friends or families,___________.A．it’s easier to plan B．they will have more freedomC．they can find their inner peace D．they need to compromise with their time and money11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Solo Travel: Lonelier but Freer B．Solo Travel: a Journey for the SoulC．Solo Travel: the Best Way of Travelling D．Solo Travel: a Merrier Way of TravellingAre there any lakes in your hometown? What color are they? Around one-third of the world's lakes are blue, according to a study in September 2022. But global warming may lead them to turn green or even brown.Xiao Yang from Southern Methodist University in the US and his team analyzed the color of over 85,000 lakes based on satellite photos taken from 2013 to 2020. They found that lakes in places with cooler average summer air temperatures — below 19°C — were more likely to be blue than lakes in places with warmer summers.The color of a lake is in part decided by what's in the water. Water molecules (分子) absorb the long wavelengths of sunlight, such as red, orange, and yellow, leaving behind the shorter ones presenting green and mostly blue. Simply put, the cleaner the water, the bluer it looks. In warmer lakes, algae (藻) and phytoplankton (浮游植物) develop easily. These microbes (微生物) contain colors from green to brown and red, giving the lake a different color. If the temperature continues to rise with climate change unchecked, one in 10 blue lakes might change color, according to thestudy.Lakes serve as a vital part of nature, with their color being one of the oldest ways to determine the health of an ecosystem. Humans get their drinking water from lakes, streams and ground water. As lakes become greener, people may lose lots of clean water. Because of this, treating the water of such lakes becomes more expensive. For lake animals, the thriving (茁壮成长) of algae and phytoplankton in greener lakes can provide more food resources. However, an increase in these microbes may cause lake animals to die for lack of oxygen.12．What decide the color of lakes in part according to the text?A．Microbes.B．Lake animals.C．Shortages of oxygen.D．Wavelengths of sunlight.13．What can we learn from the study?A．More microbes symbolize cleaner water.B．Lakes in warmer places tend to be green.C．Researchers took photos of over 85,000 lakes.D．The higher the temperature, the greener the lakes must be.14．What does the underlined word “unchecked” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Prevented.B．Uncontrolled.C．Quickened.D．Unnoticed. 15．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A．The significance of lakes.B．The way to protect the lakes.C．The potential impact of greener lakes.D．The influence of global warming on people.The youth are like the early spring, the morning sun and the budding(萌芽的) flowers. There’s no denying that youth is the most valuable time of life. During this period of time, habits and interests that will continue for the rest of your life are formed and developed. 16 —so the earlier you cultivate(培养) the youth spirit, the more likely you will achieve success in life.Be self-reliant and self-motivated. Sure, you might have parents and friends to help you, but ultimately, you must rely on yourself. 17 , which enables you to get through the challenges of life. No one can force you to get good grades or get an excellent job. 18 . Only you can be the author of your own life.19 . Train yourself to be strong when times get tough. Anything worth doing isn’teasy. Tell yourself that you can make it whatever obstacles(障碍) stand in your way as long as you won’t give up. After all the trials and errors, you will thank perseverance for guiding you to success.Work hard. As Albert Einstein once put it, “Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration(汗珠).” Young and talented as you are, without diligence, you can hardly bring out your potentials. As a result, don’t waste time admiring others’ success or daydreaming.20 .In conclusion, the prime of youth, the most vibrant and energetic period in life, is also the most fleeting(转瞬即逝的). Let’s capture the spirit of youth and turn our dreams into reality. A．Be perseveringB．Be braveC．It is really significant to cherish itD．Instead, go all out and see how far you can goE．Those responsibilities are yours and yours aloneF．However, it’s a relatively brief period in one’s lifeG．It builds your character and makes you independent二、完形填空Skiing has always been a big part of Mikaela's life.

四川省成都市天府新区2021-2022学年高一下学期期末考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Four novels recommended to readersCome Back for Me by Sharon Hart-GreenLoss, sufferings, memory, and, above all, the ties of family and being Jewish are the factors that weave (编织) together this whole story. Come Back for Me travels through time and place only to bring us, eventually, to the connections between generations. The main character is a young war survivor whose effort to find his sister takes him to post-war Israel.The Book Thief by Markus ZusakIt is 1939, Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.Liesel Meminger is a little girl living outside of Munich, who tries to keep body and soul together by stealing when she meets with something she can’t resist (抵挡)-books. With the help of her father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing (炸弹) attacks as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.Red Shoes for Rachel: Three Novellas by Boris SandlerRachel, a daughter of Holocaust survivors raised in Brighton Beach, meets with a Moldovan Jewish woman as she is tending to her disabled, elderly mother along the Coney Island boardwalk. As the two begin a relationship, the story exposes (揭示) their past and the common points between the two children of Holocaust survivors raised in very different societies.Shidduchcrisis: Short Stories by Penina ShtauberLike any world, it has its stereotypes (刻板印象). We’ve got the mean guy and the shallow girl, the too-religious, the not-religious-enough and everyone in between, those who are in it because they want to and those who are in it because their moms made them.And mostly we’ve got the pressure, pressure on all ends.Basically, it’s a lot of fun, a lot of tears, a lot of arguments and some love.1．What is the main storyline of the book Come Back for Me?A．The long road back home.B．Sufferings brought by war.C．The search for a family member.D．Relationships between humans. 2．What is the background of the book The Book Thief?A．War.B．City life.C．Family.D．School. 3．Which book describes the memories of childhood?A．The Book Thief.B．Come Back for Me. C．Shidduchcrisis: Short Stories.D．Red Shoes for Rachel: Three Novellas.Charles Darwin was born into a family of thinkers. His father was a Fellow of the Royal Society（the elite circle of top British scientists），his mother was the daughter of Josiah Wedgwood，the man who founded the famous Wedgwood Potteries，and his grandfather，Erasmus Darwin，was a famous physician，thinker and philosopher who，like his grandson，spent much time studying the evolution of life.After a childhood in the town of Shrewsbury，where he was educated at the Grammar School，Darwin went up to Edinburgh University to study medicine and natural history. When he was eighteen，he left Edinburgh and went to Cambridge University，planning to enter the church，but he was more interested in science than in religion and later he abandoned theology.Shortly after graduating from Cambridge，he got a job as a naturalist on the ship H. M. S. Beagle，which was about to start on a scientific and cartographic（地图的）survey of the South American coast. The journey started in December 1831 and was to last almost five years，during which time he collected considerable documentation.Darwin was struck by the animals of the south seas，particularly by the tortoises he found on the Galapagos Islands，a group of Pacific Islands. The Galapagos tortoises，Darwin observed，differed from island to island，and this，he inferred，showed different forms of evolution，since the animals obviously came from the same origins. Darwin was also struck by the iguanas（蜥蜴）he found，and observed that those which lived in water had heads suitable for finding food among stones，while those that lived on land had a sharper head，more fit for a herbivorous（食草的）animal.Darwin developed his theory of evolution，but it was not until 1859 that he actually published it. It was instantly seen as a great milestone in scientific thought，and attracted violent argument all over Europe. Many found fault in it，and Darwin spent the rest of his life improving his theory in the light of other people's observations.4．What is the purpose of para.1？A．To honour his family.B．To increase his popularity.C．To show his family's influence on him.D．To highlight his family's contributions.5．What did Darwin end up studying at Cambridge University？A．Science.B．Theology.C．Medicine.D．Natural history. 6．Why were the iguanas different from island to island？A．Because of their types.B．Because of their habitats. C．Because of their foods.D．Because of their origins.7．What can be learned about Darwin's theory of evolution？A．He felt quite content with it.B．He published it once finished.C．It caused a worldwide disagreement.D．It was a great breakthrough in science.It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw mysix­-year­old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort, trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I rushed out of the house and followed him on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branches hit his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, and lift its head with great effort to accept the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hands.I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops. . . and more drops. . . and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, himself, was weeping with pride.8．Why did the author follow her son?A．Because she was very curious.B．Because her son was doing a good deed. C．Because there might be danger.D．Because she also intended to help them. 9．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?A．Rain was in desperate need at that time.B．Billy carried water with his small hands. C．There were few trees in the woods.D．Billy walked into the woods again and again.10．What quality did Billy mainly show in this story?A．Enthusiasm.B．Care.C．Curiosity.D．Shyness . 11．What does the author mean by the underlined sentence?A．She was moved to tears.B．She was sad about the deer.C．God rewarded us with rainfall.D．God was crying.Do you still remember Jurassic Park, an amazing movie where science brings dinosaurs back from extinction? Now some very smart scientists are working on a way to revive, not dinosaurs, but other extinct species like the woolly mammoth （长毛象）using the gene editing technology known as CRISPR.As an evolutionary biologist, obviously, it would be amazing to bring back extinct creatures. But even if we can bring them back, we are not going to be able to control how they evolve in the future. No man is an island and neither is any other creature. We need an ecosystem in order to survive. So we can think a lot about the examples of reintroducing species into the environment, like the gray wolves into Yellowstone. Ecology is very complicated and it certainly wasn't important when we first introduce rabbits into Australia, which was a total disaster eventually.All animals like birds and mammals have to learn from their parents. If we bring them back to life, who are going to be around to teach them? We have examples where in California we've had the reproduction of the condors （秃鹰）.What scientists tried to do is to feed the babies using a mother condor puppet. When these poor creatures were released intothe wild, they had an unnatural liking for humans. They didn't behave the way they should have, for condors.According to Performing Animal Welfare Society, a healthy elephant costs about $70,000 per year to care for and an elderly elephant costs a good deal more. Of course, we are not talking about one. We're talking about many creatures. I don't think these creatures will have a future.12．Why does the author mention the film in the first paragraph?A．To recall an amazing movie.B．To promote some extinct species.C．To introduce the topic to be discussed.D．To get to know some intelligent scientists.13．What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 2?A．Humans need a balanced ecosystem to survive.B．To bring back extinct creatures was an unwise idea.C．Helping endangered species proves to be beneficial for humans.D．There were all sorts of positive effects about reintroducing species.14．Which animal didn't act in its own way?A．Condor.B．Gray wolf.C．Rabbit.D．Elephant. 15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Is Jurassic Park an Amazing Movie?B．What do Creatures Need to Survive?C．Should We Bring Extinct Animals Back to Life?D．How does an Evolutionary Biologist Protect Animals?二、七选五After a busy school year, there’s nothing wrong with sleeping late and watching TV or playing video games all day-at least for the first week or two of your summervacation.____16____Learn a language to make new friends. There are few things more fun than being able to speak another language. For more fun, choose a language you’ve always been interested in learning.____17____You can learn the basics of a language by downloading alanguage-learning app and completing all the lessons.

AAre you interested in making a film? In fact making a film takes a long time and is very hard work. Writing the story for the film may take many weeks. Shooting the film often takes at least six months. Actors and cameramen work from very early in the morning until late at night. Each scene has to be acted and re-acted, filmed and re-filmed, until it is just right. Sometimes the same scene has to be acted many times.The film studio is like a large factory, and the indoor stages are very big indeed. Scenery of all kinds is made in the studio. Churches, houses, and forests are all built of wood and cardboard. Several hundred people work together to make one film. Some of these people are the actors and actresses. The director of the film, however, is the most important person in a film studio. He decides how the scenes should be filmed and how the actors should act.Most people go to see a film because they know the film stars are in it. Sometimes the film may be very poor. It is best to choose a film made by a good director. Some famous directors make their films very real; people feel that they themselves are among the people in the films.1. Making a film is________.A. quite interestingB. very easyC. quite funnyD. very difficult2. The underlined word “shooting〞 in the first paragraph means _____.A. killingB. watchingC.developing D. making3. The most important person in a film studio is the .A. actorB. directorC.actress D. writer4. Which would be the best title for the passage? .A. Actors and actressesB. Making a filmC. A directorD. Writing the storyBDo you have a best friend? In America, when people say “man’s best friend〞, they don’t mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal-dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the “eyes〞 for a blind person or “ears〞 for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visits〞.Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week〞in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America, you can do this, too. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies. If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a dog on the street, don’t kick it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them. As people, we must protect animals who can’t speak for themselves.5. Why are dogs brought into hospitals? ________.A. Because they can make the patients happier.B. Because they can find out the problems of the patients.C. Because they are ill and need to see doctors.D. Because doctors can do experiments on them.6. What is the most popular activity on the “Be Kind to Animals Week〞? ________.A. Playing with pets the whole week.B. Making friends with other people's pets.C. Cooking delicious food for pets.D. Holding pet shows in the week.7. What is the passage mainly about? ________.A. Pets are lovely and need care and protection.B. We have done a lot of things for pets.C. Dogs can help people do many things.D. A lot of people are interested in dogs.CThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languagesused in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings changes. The langu ages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures. Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing? The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever. The future of the world’s language depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allow them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.8.Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _______languages inthe world.A. 6,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. less than 209. In “the languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.〞the underlined word “replace〞means “_______〞.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to take the place of somethingC. to find the good place for somethingD. to decide how important somethingis10. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a popular world language, _______.A. people would respect their own culture moreB. people would have no trouble in learning languageC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. it would be easier for them to share their ideas11. According to the passage, if nobody spoke the languages of smaller cultures, _______.A. there would be no smaller culturesB. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficulty in working togetherD. many of the words for things we do not know would be lostDHave you wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts (蝗虫), but birds can’t easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect them. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible(can’t be seen) to the eyes of hunters, b ecause they have the colour much like the bark〔树皮〕of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.12. This passage mainly talks about _______.A. the change of colour in locustsB. animals or pests dye〔染色〕themselves different coloursC. the protective colour of animals and pestsD. how a certain sea fish protects itself13.Locusts are pests but they aren’t easily wiped out by their enemies because _______.14. A. they fly very fast B. they are dangerous to their enemies15. C. they change colors with the crops D. they are powerful enough14. The pests that have different colours from plants usually appear at night because _______.A. their enemies can easily find them and eat themB. they have the habit of coming out in darknessC. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darknessD. birds take their rests when night comes15. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of year because _______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. no other fishes can swim as fast as it canC. the liquid it sends out can kill its enemiesD. the liquid it sends out makes its enemies unable to find it第二节〔共5小题，每题2分，总分值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正确选项。

2022-2023学年四川省成都市树德中学高一下学期期末考试英语试题1. As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting anew life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassi ng space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South.I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.1. What made the author want to leave her hometown?A．Appeal of convenience in cities.B．Her dream of becoming a writer.C．Outside prejudice against southerners.D．Her desire for the northern accent.2. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother?A．Upset. B．Pleased. C．Ashamed. D．Surprised.3. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent?A．To prove herself right. B．To help Emily be a reporter.C．To make herself influential. D．To protect Emily’s self-dignity.4. What message does the text want to convey?A．Stay true to your roots. B．Never do things by halves.C．Hold on to your dreams. D．Never judge a person by his accent.2. When I win at my favourite games, my opponents tend to say: ‘OH, you’re so competitive!’ But when I lose, they smile good-naturedly and say: ‘Bad luck! Good game!’This suggests that accurate sporting expressions should go something like this:I am sporty.You are competitive.They can’t bear to lose.Or:I gave it a go.You did your best.He tried desperately hard.I’m not saying I don’t have a competitive personality. We all do. On walks, I like to be out in front. In traffic jams, I find myself focusing on cars in other lanes, and fret if they edge ahead of me. I tense up while waiting for trains, determined to be first aboard. The other day, I was one of the first to board a train, grabbing a perfect spot in first class. Yes, I had won! Just halfway, I went to get a free drink for a first-class seat from the buffet. But I had left my ticket on my table. I worked out that, if I moved very swiftly, I could nip (快走) through two carriages, and nip back without anyone taking my place at the front of the queue.So I rushed back, picking up my ticket, and turned back. I was at the beginning of the second carriage, when, to my horror, I noticed, another figure, roughly my size, shooting towards the buffet from the other direction.Desperate to arrive before he did, I started walking faster. But at exactly the same moment, he started walking faster, too. Trying to retain my dignity, I broke into a running. Whatever happened, I was determined to win! But, annoyingly, at the same time as I sped up, so did he. The race was on. Finally, in my rush, I knocked into a suitcase and stumbled slightly. Still with my eyes on my challenger, I noticed that-strange but true-exactly the same thing had happened to him.It was only as we both lifted ourselves up in exactly the same way that I realised that, throughout the race, I had been looking at a reflection of myself in the sliding door!My competitor for first place in the buffet queue was...me.1. Which sporting expression can replace “Bad luck! Good game!” in paragraph 1?A．I gave it a go. B．You did your best.C．You are competitive. D．He tried desperately hard.2. What does the underlined word “fret” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Get anxious. B．Become relaxed. C．FeelD．Remain excited.disappointed.3. What can we learn about the author?A．He never fails to beat anyone in his life.B．He has a gift for games and competitions.C．He is sporty but often aggressive to others.D．He is highly competitive and desperate to win.4. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A．Sad competitor? I can surely beat myselfB．Bad loser? No, but I can be a first-class foolC．Competitiveness works? Not in my caseD．More haste? It will only result in less speed3. Stereotypes (刻板印象) are widely held but very general, simplified opinions about other people. Many of us start to use stereotypes at school — the cool kids or the hot kids — we know all the different ones by heart.Looks, clothes, personal traits (特征) and interests are all aspects which, on the surface of it, make us different from our contemporaries. Students pounce on these in order to categorise others. “When you’re a social animal, you need to understand who is a member of your pack, and who is a member of a different pack,” says psychology professor, John Dovidio.A girl dressed all in black may seem a bit depressed. But perhaps, deep down inside, she just likes black and is actually cheerful. She has the same interests as you —(the “cool kid”) — but she just dresses differently. The problem of typecasting is that it involves using labels which are merely shells (外表) containing assumptions. It makes one wonder why people see only a narrow view of a complicated human being.According to Dovidio, even if we think we don’t stereotype others, we do. “We categoriseimme diately and without thinking,” says Dovidio. “And we stereotype others not just on their appearance, how they dress or act, but — wrongly —on their race and sex too.”Student stereotypes may have special meanings, as teens are in the process of forming their own identity and figuring out who they feel most comfortable with. To some extent, stereotyping offers a sense of order, direction and connection to the close friends they make over time. But it’s too simple to make assumptions that “they” — teenagers in other groups —are alike or different from “us”. It’s easy to throw a group of people into a bucket (水桶) and judge them as a whole; it’s much more difficult to look at each person as an individual. On the other hand, Jim, another high school student, sa ys “by labelling people we’re actually highlighting similarities not differences. If we didn’t stereotype, it would make many things today impossible. Think of marketing studies focused on specific audiences, or clubs for people with similar interests or h obbies.”1. Which can best replace the underlined part “pounce on” in paragraph two?A．Put up with. B．Make fun of.C．Take pride in. D．Catch hold of.2. What does the author want to suggest by mentioning the girl in black?A．Don’t distinguish yourself from others.B．Don’t make simple things complicated.C．Don’t identify others by their appearance.D．Don’t label others according to their personal traits.3. What do Dovidio’s words in paragraph four tell us?A．We cannot avoid being stereotyped.B．We may correctly recognise others’ sex.C．We cannot help the way we react to others.D．We may make wrong judgements about ourselves.4. Which word best describes Jim’s attitude to stereotypes?A．Positive. B．Uninterested. C．Uncertain. D．Critical.4. It was a method favoured by the inventor Thomas Edison and the artist Salvador Dali. Waking from a nap exactly at the point before deep sleep in an effort to inspire creativity.Edison held a metal ball in his hand so that if he nodded off he would drop it and the sound would wake him. For Dali, it was a key landing on a plate. Now scientists have found that they might have been onto something.Researchers at the Paris Brain Institute studied people’s ability to find a hidden rule in a maths puzzle. Identifying the trick would make solving the problem far simpler but to do so required thinking creatively. The scientists found that participants who had been woken just before falling into a deep sleep, using a technique like that used by Edison and Dali, were more likely to find the shortcut.This “twilight zone” is known as non-rapid eye movement sleep stage 1, or N1. Scientists described it like an exaggerated form of mind-wandering, where dream-like thoughts fill the mind. It is thought that as people start to disengage (脱离) from their environment they can “freely watch their minds wander, while maintaining their ability to identify creative sparks (火花)”.For the study 103 people were given a maths problem to solve. To reach the final answer they had to apply th e rules step by step but, unknown to them, a “hidden rule” would allow them to bypass most of the steps and get to the solution much more quickly. The results showed that 83 percent of those in the N1 group had found the shortcut, compared with 31 percent in the group who were awake and 14 percent of those in a deep sleep.Researchers conclude that the brain activity common to the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness set off creative sparks. “Although the neural mechanisms (神经机制) involved are not yet known, our findings suggest that there is a creative sweet spot within the twilight zone,” said Dr Thomas Andrillon, co-author of the study.1. Why did the author mention “a metal ball” and “a key” in Paragraph 2?A．To clarify a method. B．To explain a theory.C．To present a concept. D．To make a comparison.2. What can we learn about “the twilight zone” from the text?A．It prevents your mind from wandering.B．It determines what your dreams will be like.C．It is known as rapid eye movement sleep stage.D．It is a state of being half asleep and half awake.3. What does “the shortcut” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．The maths problem. B．The final answer.C．The hidden rule. D．The added step.4. What attitude may Dr Thomas Andrillon hold to the technique used by Edison and Dali?A．Doubtful. B．Critical.C．Indifferent. D．Favorable.5. Across India, summers can be extreme. Temperatures outdoors can soar to 124°F (51℃), high enough to melt the surface of the streets.Millions of urban lower-income families live in tiny, one-room houses crammed together. Such shacks have tin and asbestos (石棉的) roofs. These materials absorb the sun’s heat, rather than reflect it back into the atmosphere. Additionally, only a few trees grow between the jam-packed hous es. Making matters worse is the residents’ poverty. Most households cannot afford to run air conditioners and coolers. All these factors make the inside of these tiny houses extremely hot. Under such conditions, residents find it difficult to live, let alone work. Productivity declines.Social workers and scientists have realized that the quickest way to cool such houses is to change their roofs. That’s because the roof receives the most direct sunlight. Climate researchers came up with many strategies to produce cool roofs. One easy way was with paint. Light-colored surfaces reflect more heat than darker ones, so roofs painted white would be cooler than those painted in any other color. This wasn’t a new idea. In fact, Indians have traditionally whitewashed homes with chuna. The annual Monsoon rains, though, wash the chuna away. Climate experts hoped that the white paints would last longer. Research findings revealed that painting alone could bring down the heat by up to 9℉(5℃).Problems persist, though. While the paint is fairly cheap, poor people cannot afford it without financial help. In addition, the sunlight bouncing off white-topped roofs makes them too bright to look at. Residents usually use the roofs for drying wet clothes and vegetables, like chilies. But the glare from the whitened surfaces makes it tough for them to do these tasks. A third problem is that white-roofedbuildings reflect the sun’s rays throughout the year. Ironically, this makes roofs too cool in regions where winters get extremely cold. And keeping warm is costly, too.Despite these drawbacks, many households are supporters of cool roof initiatives. For most, the benefits of the roofs outweigh their flaws. Indeed, the white paint has given their lives a newlight. 1. What is a factor contributing to Indian houses’ extreme heat?A．The building materials of the roofs. B．Residents’ lack of green awareness.C．The influence of the global economy. D．There being no trees in the community. 2. Why is white paint a good choice according to paragraph 3?A．It is effective. B．It is innovative. C．It is replaceable. D．It is long-lasting.3. What problem comes with white paint roofs?A．Their brightness will lead to color blindness.B．The paint will become too expensive to afford.C．It will be inconvenient to dry stuff on the roofs.D．Residents’ living cost will be higher in summer.4. What is the text mainly about?A．Light-colored paints. B．A house-cooling strategy.C．White-roofed buildings. D．An energy-saving initiative.6. You may have seen them standing alone in a farmer’s field. With thin arms and a strange smile, they stand guard over the crops day and night. 1Scarecrows have been around since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians. Back then, farmers covered wooden frames with nets to protect wheat fields. 2 Around 2500 BCE, the Greeks made the first human-like scarecrows. They added a face which was similar to that of the Greek god Priapus. 3 The Romans later copied this design and brought it to Europe.Centuries after the Romans marched through Europe, people around the world were creating their own scarecrows. In Japan, scarecrows were shaped like people in raincoats and straw hats. In Germany, scarecrows were made to look like witches.4 In the oldest book of Japanese literature, The Kojiki, a scarecrow named Kuebiko appears. Though he can’t walk, Kuebiko is a kind of all-knowing god. In the mid-19th century, writer Nathaniel Hawthorne brought scarecrows into literature with the short story “Feathertop.” In this tale, a witch who prays to the Devil brings a scarecrow to life.Then there is the most famous scarecrow. His name is simply “Scarecrow,” and he appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the children’s novel, Scarecrow joins Dorothy, Tin Man an d the Cowardly Lion on an adventure to meet the wizard of the magical land of Oz. 5Aside from these examples, scarecrows have featured in rock songs and as characters in comic books. On Halloween, they are brought out as scary decorations. Both practical and creepy, scarecrows continue to capture our imagination.7. I was waiting in a checkout line.

I repeated my question and heard her say,〝Oh......noting.〞Nothing?I got up from my desk and ran out into the living room, where I saw her running across the hall. I followed and watched her as she made a quick 48 into the bedroom. I was gaining on her! She hurried to the bathroom. Bad move. I had her 49. I told her to turn around. She refused. I pulled out my big Daddy voice, 〝Young lady, I said turn around!〞50, she turned toward me. In her hand was what was left of my wife’s new lipsti ck. And every square inch of her face was 51 with bright red! As she looked up at me with fearful eyes, I heard every voice that had been shouted to me as a child. 〝How could you...You should know...How many times have you been told...What a bad thing to do.,..〞It was just a matter of my picking out which old words I was going to use on her so that she would know what a bad girl she had been.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, butsometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty fore years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, 〝I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.〞And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. Theycouldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are and far between. More often, it would be b etter if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.No more angry shouts and no more homs!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers,〝I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.〞And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of pas sing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often,it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we’re scared.56. The author feels sad sometimes because ____.A. he has a soft heartB. he depends much on othersC. some people pretend to be kindD. some people fail to see the kindness in others57. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A. They speeded up to passB. They waited with patienceC. They tried their best to helpD. They put on their flashlights, too.58. In this passage, the author advises us to _____.A. handle problems by ourselvesB. accept help from othersC. admit our weaknessD. show our bravery(B)It tastes just like chicken Away from home, eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full. It is a language all its own, and no words can say, "Glad to meet you ... glad to be doing business with you ..." quite like sharing a meal offered by your host.Clearly, mealtime is not the time for you to say, "Thanks, but no thanks." Acceptance of the food on your plate means acceptance of host, country, and company. So, no matter how difficult it may be to swallow, swallow. Or, as one experienced traveler says, "Travel with a cast-iron stomach and eat everything everywhere."Often, the food offered is your host country's proudest cooking achievement. What would Americans think of a French person who refused a bit of homemade apple pie or sizzling steak? Our discomfort comes not so much from the thing itself; it comes from our unfamiliarity with it. After all, an oyster(牡蛎) has remarkably the samelook as a sheep's eye; and a first look at a lobster(龙虾) would remind almost anybody of a creature from a science fiction movie, not something you dip in melted butter and cat. By the way, in Saudi Arabia sheep's eyes are a delicacy, in parts of China it's bear's paw soup.Can you refuse such food without being rude ? Most experienced business travelers say no, at least not before taking at least a few bites. It helps, though, to slice any item very thin. This way, you minimize the texture --gristly(软骨的), slimy(黏滑的), and so on -- and the reminder of where it came from. Or, "Swallow it quickly," as one traveler recommends, "I still can't tell you what sheep's eyeball taste like." As for dealing with taste, the old line that "it tastes just like chicken" is often thankfully true. Even when the "it" is really rat or snake.Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating. What's for dinner? Don't ask. Avoid glancing into the kitchen orlooking at English-language menus. Your host will be pleased that you are eating the food he offers, and who knows? Maybe it really is chicken in that soup.59. The purpose of the article is to _____.A. introduce the food we don’t knowB. share the writer’s personal experiencesC. suggest ways to overcome a cultural barrier (障碍)D. advise on how to politely refuse to eat foreign food60. According to the writer, people hesitate at strange food because of ____.A. the way it looksB. safety worriesC. lack of information about itD. the strange surroundings61. From the article we can infer that ______.A. an American may feel comfortable with apple piesB. one should refuse strange food after a few bitesC. English-language menus are not always dependableD. Before accepting the food, you should accept the host62. One may say,〝It tastes just like chicken〞when _____.A. showing respect for chicken-loving nationsB. greeting people with different dieting habitsC. talking with the host who is very kind to himD. getting someone to try a meal which appears unpleasant Section CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from the box for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.63. ______In order to present the best presentation and avoid making mistakes, you need to keep in mind certain guidelines. Here are some of my ideas for presenting quality presentation that demand much attention from your listeners.64. _______Picking out a topic is the hard part, when it comes to choosing from a list of presentation subjects. It has to be interesting, effective and unique; therefore, it is necessary to choose something you care about rather than randomly selecting one. Ask yourself if it covers angles- IS it informative? Will it attract my listeners? Will it create an air of boredom? Will I be able to get all my facts and research done? Is it appealing to me, but not to them?There’s nothing more annoying than have someone talk too much about a topic he/she hasn’t done a great deal of research on. It is obvious from the way they speak and how robotic their movement and gestures are. So don’t be that someone. Make an effort to learn as much as you can.Make it matter to you, and remember how it can affect your listeners, and enlighten them on things they didn’t know about at all.66. ______No one is perfect, and there are sure to be mistakes or situations that you didn’t expect and couldn’t avoid. You could mix up slides or forget some important sheets of your presentation. Straighten up. Improvise(临时凑成) and don’t beat yourself up about it or your presentati on will end in disaster. Don’t let it ruin the rest of it, and finish the presentation as planned, so that people think more of how well it ended.The best thing about presenting a topic is eye contact. If you are able to say it by heart, and not by looking at a piece of paper, you will have mastered the most effective presentation technique. Memorize your lines, and points, and only glance at your notes occasionally if you think you may forget something. In the end, if you think that you are well prepared to answer questions, then by all means invite them. Section DDirection: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Do you think sitting and studying all the time will improve your grades? Think again. Getting some exercise may help too.New research with older people suggests that taking regular walks helps them pay attention better than if they didn't exercisE、Previous research had shown that mice learn，remember，and pay attention better after a few weeks of working out on a runningwheel．Mice that exercise have greater blood flow to the brain than those who don't．Their brain cells also make more connections．Neuroscientists from the University at Urbana-Champaign wanted to find out if the same thing is true for peoplE、First，they measured the physical fitness of 41 adults，ages 58 to 77，after each per-son walked 1 milE、Then，participants looked at arrows on a computer screen and had to use com-putter keys to show which way one particular arrow was pointing．Adults who were physically fit were faster at the arrow task，and their answers were just as ac- curate as their less-fit peers, the researchers founD、The fitter participants also had more blood flow to a part of their brain responsible for paying attention and making decisions．In a second study，15 elderly people who completed a 6-month aerobic-training course were faster at attention tasks compared with 14 seniors who just did stretching and toning exercises for the sameamount of timE、So，even going for a walk every 2 or 3 days for just 10 to 45 minutes can help．That should be good news for your grandparents．The effects of exercising on the brains of younger people haven't been studied yet．Still，it can't hurt to take occasional study breaks and go for a walk or run around with your friends．You might even do better in school．Whatever you do，though，don't try to read and walk at the same timE、You could end up hurting yourself!(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS)68.

2021-2022学年四川省成都市天府七中高一下学期期末考试英语试题1. On a rainy afternoon, maybe one of the following books will keep you company leisurely, allowing you to spend your time alone as well as stepping into a different world.Don’t Shed Your Tears for Anyone Who Lives on These Streets,by Patricio PronIn April 1945, Italy, a writer disappeared at a conference and was found dead at another place. Thirty years later, a young man interviewed survivors from the conference, trying to uncover the truth about what happened and its consequences. This novel, by a well-known Argentine writer, explores art, crime and politics.When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul KalanithiAt thirty-six, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient. This autobiography finds hope and beauty in the face of death as Kalanithi attempts to answer the question “What makes a life worth living?”.To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper LeeSet in a small Alabama town in the 1930s, the story focuses on honest, highly respected lawyer Atticus Finch who puts his career on the line when he agrees to represent Tom Robinson, a black man accused of committing a crime.Nobody Will Tell You This But Me: A true (as told to me) story by Bess KalbBess Kalb saved every voicemail from her grandmother Bobby Bell who died at ninety. In this book, Bobby is speaking to Bess once more, in a voice as loving as it ever was in life and brings us several generations of brave women. They include Bobby’s mother, who traveled alone from Bela rus to America to survive, and Bess’s mother, who always fought against convention.1. Which book is about the author’s own story?A．To Kill a Mockingbird.B．When Breath Becomes Air.C．Don’t Shed Your Tears for Anyone Who Lives on These Streets.D．Nobody Will Tell You This But Me: A true (as told to me) story.2. Who is the main character in the last novel?A．Bobby Bell. B．Bess Kalb. C．Bess’s mother.D．Bobby’s mother.3. In which section of a newspaper can we read the text?A．Advertisement. B．Opinion. C．Lifestyle. D．Science.2. My wife and I were at a crowded grocery store not long ago. It was a weekday evening, cold and wet and tense. People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts. At one point, two women quarreled for several minutes in the freezer section.Things got worse at the checkout line. The cashier scanned a man's discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting on purpose and began to argue.Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who took him to customer service. Shaken, she moved to the next customer in line.We’ve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. My reaction when I see them is both personal and professional. I am a data analyst and sociologist who studies how and why people interact with one another--or why they choose not to. To me, the grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has disappeared. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith — starting with just one person.Therefore, my wife and I reached the disturbed cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. We learned her name was Beth.“We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.” I said.Beth’s face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items. She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left.That is the balancing act, the moment of countering social and emotional pain with healing, that will add up to restore trust across the United States. You can start that pattern in someone else's life , even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store.1. By describing the arguments, the author wants to show________.A．the job as a cashier is not easy. B．people in the U.S are unfriendly.C．arguments in public are very common. D．confidence in each other has worn off. 2. How did Beth probably feel when the couple gave her a bottle of water?A．Sad and regretful. B．Sorry and embarrassed.C．Cheerful and rewarded. D．Grateful and relieved.3. What's author's attitude towards Americans' regaining trust?A．Doubtful. B．Optimistic. C．Uncaring D．Cautious4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Miserable Cashier. B．A Helping Hand.C．Learning to Trust Again. D．Starting a new life.3. Dolphins are universally regarded as some of the cleverest creatures in the world. In captivity(圈养), they can be trained to complete complex tasks such as jumping through hoops and somersaulting through the air.But their intelligence doesn’t stop there. I n a recent study of cetaceans(鲸目动物)—a group of animals that includes dolphins and whales—researchers created a list of intelligent behaviors observed in 90 different cetacean species, reported the Guardian. For example, the smartest cetaceans hunt in groups, share knowledge through mimicry(模仿) and even care for each other’s children. Some even consider their behavior to be human-like.“There is the saying that ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ seems to be true for both whales and humans,” Michael Muthuk rishna of the London School of Economics, co-author of the study, told the Guardian.However, cetaceans don’t just use their brain power for survival. The study suggests that dolphins might even gossip. That’s because some species greet each other with spe cific whistles, just as humans greet each other by name, the Guardian reported. Sometimes, a group of dolphins whistles the “name” of a dolphin that isn’t there. Could they be speaking about their “friend” behind its back? For the researchers, dolphin small talk is a big deal. As they found that the most social cetaceans also have the largest brains, they argue that cetacean intelligence developed to meet the demands of complex social groups.Known as the “cultural brain hypothesis(假设),” it had only been us ed to explain the intelligence of humans and other primates(灵长目动物). The new study aimed to find a common pathway for the evolution of intelligence among biologically different species.“It is interesting to think that whale and human brains are different i n their structure but have brought us to the same patterns in behavior,” Luke Rendell, a biologist at the University of St Andrews, told the Guardian.Indeed, we still have a lot to learn about our intelligent ocean-dwelling neighbors. “We don’t have to lo ok at other planets to look for aliens,” Muthukrishna told the Guardian, “because we know that underwater there are these amazing species with so many parallels to us in their complex behaviors.”1. The possible meaning of the underlined word “gossip” in P ara. 4 is ________.A．singing B．chatting C．greeting D．arguing2. The recent study was intended to ________.A．learn more about intelligent creatures of the seaB．explain the intelligence of humans and cetaceansC．create a list of intelligent behaviors of different cetacean speciesD．see whether the intelligence of different species evolved in the same way3. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．some cetaceans have the same intelligence as human beingsB．it is unnecessary to look for aliens and do research into themC．both dolphins and whales greet each other with specific whistlesD．both dolphins and whales have a lot in common with humans in behaviors4. What is the best title for this passage?A．Aliens living underwaterB．A study of intelligent dolphinsC．Intelligent creatures of the seaD．Reasons for the intelligence of sea creatures4. I’m rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car in sight, and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village?It was supposed to be right along this river. We drove on, farther into the unknown, river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms: Why didn’t we start earlier, bring the map and on and on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, text messaging a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think.Just then－WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared. Where did it come from?Right there, out of nowhere: a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purples, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk (黄昏). I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day.How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all.We miss a lot, almost everything, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters (过滤器) take care of that, selecting only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see, often for purposes of survival. Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty, said the judgment is selection of a fact. In our daily lives, who or what is doing the selecting? Can we make a change? Can we see further?1. Which of the following might be the destination of the author’s driving?A．A vacation spot. B．Her own home.C．A tourist centre. D．Her cousin’s farm.2. What made the author keep blaming herself in the beginning?A．That the vacation was below her expectations.B．That she wasn’t as good at using maps as before.C．That lack of full preparations got her to lose her way.D．That her cousin and daughter couldn’t get along.3. The author felt really amazed because _________.A．she discovered a tourist spot unknown to the publicB．her carelessness brought an unexpected pleasureC．she unintentionally reached what she had planned toD．the right route (路线) to her destination came out of nowhere4. What does the story intend to tell us?A．Stay cool when you are trapped in trouble.B．Make a change for the purpose of survival.C．Be positive because there's always an alternative (choice).D．Slow down your paces to enjoy beauty in life.5. Tips for Upcoming Senior TwoThe upperclassmen often describe Senior Two in No.7 High as a year with “much more homework, more frequent exams and more fierce competitions”. 1●Manage your time carefully and make the most of it.Try to study not only hard but efficiently. Make a to-do-list for your time after school. Don’t just spend quite a long time on only one subject, especially a science subject. 2 Remember to take breaks when you feel exhausted.●Treat competition in class in a right way.Competition cannot be avoided, but everyone wants to study and live in a friendly environment. Don’t treat your classmates as potential enemies. 3 By helping others solve problems, you inspire others, consolidate your own knowledge and gain lasting friendship.● 4Don’t le t your former rankings limit you. What really matters is how you treat exams and rankings. Forget the class or grade rankings, but compete with yourself. In a while, you will see yourself climbing in scores and rankings.All in all, the coming new school year is sure to be full of challenges. Too much worry only adds to your difficulties in your development. 5 Wish you the best of luck in the new academic year in No.7 High!6. My parents operated a small restaurant in Seattle.

An hour later, I hurried to the hospital and saw dad who was still under anesthesia (麻醉) after the surgery.“Your dad didn’t want me to tell you this before he went into the operating room, afraid that you would worry, but I co uldn’t hold it in... When your dad wakes up, you should avoid him. Go out and make a casual phone call...”I nodded, but at the same time, I saw several people in the same ward whispering to each other.After a while, dad seemed to be waking up, so I quickly left the ward.About ten minutes later, I dialed dad’s phone.“Dad, what are you doing?” I asked, suppressing my choked voice.“Ah...” Dad’s voice was a bit slow, “Playing cards with your uncles...” Dad’s voice became lively as he said this.“Did you win or lose?” I asked.“Ah... I lost. You fellow, why did you call me when my luck was bad?” Dad joked with me, trying his best to make me feel that everything was normal with him.“I don’t believe you.” I don’t know why, but I just went along with dad and kept asking questions like a child. But then I regretted it. How could dad prove it to me when he was in the hospital ward? “Lao Gu, it’s your turn to play...” I recognized the voice of one of dad’s fellow patients in the ward.

It was a special anniversary (纪念日), marking 50 years since the league’s first title game.Jordan’s father had played in that game when he was young, and Jordan was determined to make history himself. As he warmed up with his team, the Badgers, he couldn’t help but feel the weight of the moment.The game was intense, with both teams giving their all. The Lions took the lead by halftime, but Jordan’s confidence never wavered. He scored multiple baskets in the second half, including a game-tying shot late in the fourth quarter.With the score tied in the final seconds, Jordan knew he had to make a play. As the Lions held the ball for the last shot, Jordan succeeded in blocking their attempt, giving his team a chance to win.With eleven seconds left on the clock, Jordan dribbled (带球) up the court, looking for an opportunity to score. “Four... three... two.”His dad, in the stands, signaled for him to take the shot. Jordan rose to shoot. As the Lions rushed toward him, he bounced the ball in to his teammate Devin—wide open near the basket.Devin turned and shot. The ball fell cleanly through the hoop for the winning points.“Yes!” Jordan shouted. The crowd erupted in cheers. After celebrating with his team, he ran off the court and hugged his parents. “You still have the record,” he told his dad. Dad smiled. “Y ou have something more important. A championship. And great teammates. Congratulations!”8. Where did Jordan’s father play in the past?A．The Lions. B．In the Badgers team.C．The league’s first title game.D．In the city’s youth basketball league.9.

D．Jordan passed the ball to his teammate.10. What does the underlined word “blocking” mean in Paragraph 4?A．Winning. B．Making. C．Preventing. D．Finishing.11. What did Jordan’s dad remind him to value after the game?A．Breaking records. B．The championship.C．The advice from his father. D．Taking the final shot himself.Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, happy and slim, according to new research. A study analyzing the DNA of individuals who identified as either “morning larks” or “night owls” found that those who preferred to wake up early tended to have a lower body weight, were less likely to suffer from depression, and were less easy to be affected by sleeplessness.The study, which involved nearly 90,000 participants, identified 15 genes (基因) that were associated with a person’s preference for mornings or evenings. Interesting ly, the preference for mornings increased with age, with older individuals more likely to be morning types than younger individuals. Additionally, women were found to be more likely to enjoy mornings than men.While researchers are still unsure of the exac t reasons behind the link between a person’s body clock and their health, it is believed that staying up late may have negative effects on evening types. For example, a gene related to body weight was found to influence whether someone was a morning or night person.Despite the potential health benefits of being an early riser, night owls need not despair. Previous research has found that night owls tend to be more intelligent than early risers. The division into larks and owls is thought to have evolutionary roots, with early risers taking the lead in food gathering during the Stone Age, while night owls stood guard late into the night.Overall, the study highlights the importance of understanding how our body clock influences our preferences and behaviors, and how genetic factors may play a role in shaping our daily routines. 12. What do early risers tend to do?A．They are healthier and happier. B．They are more depressed.C．They don’t sleep well.D．They eat less.13. Which group is more likely to be morning people?A．Older people.

This saying is often used when people have disagreements over property lines or other issues related to shared spaces.16 This includes being honest and open with your neighbours about any issues that may arise, such as noise complaints or property disputes. If you are an independent person who values privacy, it is still important to communicate with your neighbours in a frank and respectful way. 1718 Holding onto grudges (积怨) and resentments can lead to a poisonous relationship that is difficult to repair. It is important to remember that everyone makes mistakes and has different viewpoints, so it is important to approach conflicts with an open mind and a willingness to compromise (让步).One way to avoid conflicts with your neighbours is to establish clear boundaries and expectations from the beginning. 19 By establishing these expectations early on, you can avoid misunderstandings and potential conflicts down the road.20 By respectin g each other’s space and establishing clear boundaries, you can build a positive relationship with your neighbours and avoid conflicts. Remember, “good fences make good neighbours”.Jacob and his cousin Isaiah were out fishing at Police Outpost Lake, a remote spot in southern Alberta.

In order to spread Chinese food culture, Chengdu is going to host the Fifth International Chinese Food Festival in two weeks. I am writing to invite you to attend it with me.It is to take place in the City Square from 14 to 16 in October. Some chefs will demonstrate key Chinese cooking skills with a wide variety of Chinese food raw materials on display and visitors are welcome to taste them for free. I think it is a good chance for you to experience Chinese culture. Since the City Square is located downtown, we can get there by bus or underground. If you are interested, please let me know.Looking forward to your reply.Y ours,Li HuaText 8W: Who wrote this? It’s completely wrong!M: What do you mean?W: Just look at it! The accident wasn’t on Thursday! I t was on Tuesday! The accident happened at lunchtime! Don’t you remember what happened? It was a girl, not a boy, lying on the road, and she hadn’t tripped over anything. She had just slipped because the road was wet from the rain.M: OK. Everything about the truck and the car is right?W: Why do you think there was a truck? It was a minibus, and the minibus driver was fine. The person who flew out of the minibus was a passenger sitting at the front.M: So it was the passenger on the minibus who was injured. I guess the information about the car is correct?W: It is, but I think that is personal information and we shouldn’t print it in the newspaper, so cancel the entire paragraph.M: OK.Text 9W: Would you please describe the nature of your farm?M: Sure.I mainly grow corn and wheat for feed crops. I do only grow cotton when the cotton prices are better. W: How many employees do you have?M: 10 together. Seven of them are part-time employees.W: do you pay them hourly or are they salaried?M:I pay them by the hour because sometimes they only work a few hours and other times they work many hours. Therefore, it wouldn’t be fair for them to get a weekly or monthly salary year round.W: How many hours do you work as the owner?M: In the winter I work eight hours a day, but in the spring, summer and autumn I work 12 to 13 hours a day. Many times our work depends on the weather. For example, if the crops need water and it hasn’t rained, the employees must irrigate the fields which can take many hours. At other times, I spend my time in checking my fields for pests, and if I find any,I have to apply farm chemicals. If my machinery breaks down, I have to call in the repairman to fix it. Of course, I must also make sure any crops get harvested when they are ready.W：If you were to start a new farm, what changes would you make?M: I wouldn’t make many changes. Right now my farm is very successful.Text 10Thank you for coming to our school today. Our school is the most well-known public high school in the city.

According to the researchers，the study showed that the charge made shoppers stop and think whether they really need to use a single-use plastic bag for their shopping.The results come from the very first study to examine the attitude and behaviour of the English population since the single-use carrier bag charge was first introduced almost a year ago. Results also showed an increase in support in England for the carrier bag charge since it was introduced，rising from 51% to 62%，as well as an increase in support for other possible waste reduction charges such as a charge on plastic water bottles.9Andy Cummins, a researcher of the study，said：“This study shows how the bag charge has greatly changed both public behaviour and attitude towards single-use bags.
