AHere are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.University of IllinoisStudents are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations(疫苗), and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable(不可退款的).Your pet can’t be left for extended periods of time, and if there’s evidence that you’ve left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.Harvard UniversityWith as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard’s Cronkhite Graduate Center.In Harvard’s pet-friendly apartments, you’re allowed: one cat or one dog, which can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university’s B．A．R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.B．A．R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn’t walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B．A．R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.University of OxfordThe University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.1．What is one of the rules for keeping pets at the University of Illinois?A．Pet keepers should pay a monthly US$ 30 pet fee which will be returned.B．Pets can’t be left alone in the apartments due to vacation or illness.C．Students have to keep fish in a fish tank of no more than 20 gallons.D．The cat or dog can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown.2．Why did Dr. John-Tyler Binfet start B．A．R.

B．University of Oxford.C．University of Illinois. D．University of British Columbia.BA survey by the American Psychological Association shows that one in ten adults reads online news at least once an hour. A lot has been written about the mental health influence from news addiction, and in particular from reading negative reports. Just like junk food, “junk” news can be bad for our health.In recent years, things have been getting increasingly more negative. A study of the content of New Zealand’s largest newspaper showed that while in 1973 the average number of stories about death on the front page was 0.75, by 2013 it was 4.1(and no, there weren’t five times more people dying).What’s more, online news, and the stories we read on mobile phones in particular, tend to be even more negative than print. A 2019 study of 50 U.S. newspapers showed that mobile versions of newspapers report three times more stories about disasters and accidents than paper ones.Such negative reports lead people to believe that things are worse than they really are. They can lead to stress, worry and lower spirits.Experiments also suggest that loneliness and poor relationships have been connected with reading negative reports. After reading negative reports, people are less likely to help others. Even worse, when we check news on smart phones, we may “phub” our loved ones, which leads to lower relationship satisfaction.Negative reports attract our attention far more than positive ones. That’s a global happening. I hope, however, that if we realize that negative news is spoiling our moods, we might all be more willing to change. 4．Why is “junk food” mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To entertain readers.B．To introduce the topic.C．To make an advertisement.D．To keep readers away from it.5．What can we learn about the study in Paragraph 2?A．The death rate in New Zealand is very high.B．Print newspapers have become less popular.C．Stories about death have become less popular.D．Negative reporting has been increasing over years. 6．What may negative reports lead people to do?A．Live a hopeful life.B．Become more careful.C．Become less likely to help others.D．Pay more attention to their physical health.7．What does the underlined word “phub” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Ignore B．Hate C．Laugh at D．Care about8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Survey on News Reading Habits B．Negative Effects of Mobile PhonesC．Is Online News Better Than Print?D．Is Junk News a Danger to Health?CThere was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.”Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said.Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to theground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.9．What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic?A．An invisible chair.B．An old chair.C．A real chair.D．Nothing.10．Why did Mario’s grandpa give him the invisible chair?A．To see whether Mario could sit on it. B．To test who were Mario’s true friends.C．To let Mario have fun with his classmates.D．To test whether Mario was popular at school. 11．How was Mario able to hover in mid-air?A．He saw the invisible chair suddenly. B．He managed to sit on the chair finally.C．His friends held him up with their hands. D．His classmates gave him a chair to sit on.12．What does the story tell us?A．Never laugh at our friends. B．True friends can help us do magic.C．True friends are those who care for us. D．Having too many good friends isn’t a good thing.DSure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues (问题).Here is a question：What if you don’t get along with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.However if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her especially if you fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a student.Here are some of those responsibilities (责任)：Attend class ready to learn.Be prepared for class with the right stationery, books, and completed assignments (作业).Listen when your teacher is talking.Do your best, whether it’s a classroom assignment, homework, or a test.13．According to the passage, what will happen to you when getting along well with your teachers ?A．We will have no problems with studyB．We will get a better seat in the classroomC．We will get the best scores in the examsD．We will have more pleasant time in the classroom14．What does the underlined word “that” refers to in the fourth paragraph?A．The happy time you have in the classroomB．Getting along very well with classmatesC．A better relationship between you and your teacherD．The disappearance of personality differences15．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The importance of friendship in schools.B．The importance of a good relationship with your teachers.C．Studying skills for students.D．Useful skills to get along well with your teachers.16．As a student, what will you do if you don’t like a certain teacher ?A．You fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a studentB．You are thought of as a good studentC．You know some basic social skillsD．You are easygoing and helpful第二节七选五(每小题1分，共5分，根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

福建省福州市福州市八县一中2023-2024学年高一上学期11月期中英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Do you want to visit Warwick Castle in Britain?

Online bookings must be made 24 hours before you visit.1．If you hope to visit Castle Dungeon, you should ________.A．buy the ticket in person B．dial 0870 442 2371C．book the ticket from D．book the ticket two days in advance 2．What is the advantage of booking tickets online?A．You don’t have to wait in queue.B．You can save £ 20 in total.C．The ticket includes the Castle Dungeon.D．The ticket is available at any time.3．If you want to book the Ultimate Family Ticket online, you should pay ________.A．£ 55.00B．£ 48.50C．£ 47.00D．£ 37.60 4．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Children can pay a visit to the castle in group or alone as long as they book a ticket.B．You can have a 20% discount(折扣)if you book group tickets.C．It is necessary for you to book a ticket online one day ahead of your visit.D．Two disabled children should pay at least £ 10 for their tickets to the castle.5．The passage probably is taken from ________.A．a newspaper B．a magazine C．a geography book D．a websiteFor centuries, people in the sunny Mediterranean (地中海) would get up after long, relaxing meals and take a walk, often to the town square to see neighbors and socialize. Walking is so much a part of the lifestyle that it is seen as the most important part of thesuper-healthy Mediterranean diet.Studies have found that it may be one of the reasons the Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk for some diseases like diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, stroke and some cancers – all the while strengthening bones, improving brain health, preventing dementia (痴呆) and helping with healthy weight loss.Now you can add another reason to take a post-meal walk – it may lower your blood sugar. That trip doesn’t need to take up a huge amount of your time either: Walking as little as two to five minutes after a meal can do, according to a 2022 study in the journal Sports Medicine.Standing after a meal can help, too, but not as much as putting one foot in front of the other, said study coauthor Aidan Buffey, a doctoral student in sport sciences department at the University of Limerick in Ireland.“Standing on and off throughout the day and after meals reduced blood sugar on average by 9.51% compared to long hours of sitting. However, light-walking throughout the day saw a greater reduction of blood sugar by an average of 17.01% compared to long hours of sitting,” Buffey said.“This suggests that breaking long hours of sitting with standing and light-walking throughout the day is good for blood sugar levels. Standing is good, but walking is better,” he added.6．What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?A．To introduce a lifestyle.B．To warn the readers.C．To lead in the topic.D．To prove an opinion.7．What benefits can the Mediterranean diet bring to people EXCEPT ______?A．Losing appropriate weight B．Making bones strongerC．Preventing the risk for diseases D．Improving brain health8．What does “putting one foot in front of the other” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Standing.B．Sitting.C．Walking.D．Lying.9．How did Aidan Buffey draw his conclusion?A．By doing surveys (调查).B．By comparing the data (数据).C．By doing experiment.D．By referring to other studies. 10．What is the best title for the text?A．Walking can help lower blood sugar B．There are reasons to stick to walkingC．Mediterranean diet is super healthy D．Long hours of sitting after meal is a bad habit“Our aim is to take our art to the world and makepeople understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour (跑酷).Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.Yes, that’s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy (理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”Another philosophy we’ve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.11．Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of .A．its founder, David Belle B．the film, Casino RoyaleC．its risks and tricks D．the varieties of participantsA．streets B．objectsC．barriers D．roofs13．Which of the following is true of parkour?A．It challenges human abilities.B．It is a good but boring sport.C．It needs special training.D．It is a team sport.A．they can ask for help B．they may choose to escapeC．they should run to extremes D．they must learn to survive15．Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?A．Sports and extremes.B．Excitement and popularity.C．Dreams and success.D．Determination and freedom.二、七选五Today, people are working from home more than ever. As a result, many dogs are enjoying a lot more time with, and attention from, their owners. Dog adoption (收养) rates have skyrocketed as people seek enjoyment and companionship. But what will happen when life eventually returns to normal? 16 .Teach puppies alone time17 . Otherwise, they may become anxious when they are alone, which can result in damaging behavior such as chewing on furniture and digging up plants in the garden. Teaching your puppy to be comfortable alone right from the start will help you avoid separation issues in future. Pleasing as it is to let your cute puppy follow you around, this can lead to them becoming overly dependent and potentially anxious when left alone.Set up a playpen or CrateAn enclosed space will keep them safe when you’re not in the same room. Allocate (分配) some time each day to leave your puppy alone – after playtime is perfect. Allow them an opportunity to toilet and then give them something safe to chew on to help them settle. If you are planning for your dog to spend time outside during the day, it is essential that you set this up from the beginning.18It’s important for adult dogs to also spend time alone. When you are home, put your dogoutside for short periods while offering a chew (咀嚼) toy, or encourage them to settle on their bed or in a crate while you move around different parts of the home. Setting up and maintaining an exercise routine (惯例) will be important once you start leaving home more, or your dog may become bored and possibly damaging.Establish good chew habitsTeach your puppy or dog what is acceptable for them to chew. Only give them toys that are clearly different from household items. 19 . When you want your dog to have some quiet time, give them a safe chew toy so they learn to connect this time with something positive. When you leave home, give them a chew toy to help them relax and keep them busy.Train your dogThis should include teaching the basics of “sit”, “stay”, and “down” but also training them to go to their bed and stay in position when requested. 20 .A．Create a routineB．Maintain appropriate exerciseC．Dogs like routine because it makes them feel safeD．Chewable toys that can be stuffed with a treat like peanut butter are a good choice E．Trick training is also a nice way to use any extra time to develop the bond with your dogF．These tips will help you raise a puppy or train a dog to be content when you are not aroundG．Dogs are social creatures and need to learn some skills to be comfortable when left unattended三、完形填空Friday night meant a family dinner for me at home. There would be discussions andlight the candles with my mom.Years later, my father passed away, and then my mother insisted on going to live in a care home. I seemed to be totally 28 from the boring tradition, but I didn’t feel 29 . I missed the chicken soup. Although I have her recipe, I’ve never actually 30 the soup myself.

Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19．Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20．What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21．Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22．The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23．What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24．What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25．According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26．What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29．What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life. When you cross the finish line you may never have a 49 picture of what you are made of and capable of accomplishing.

Nyota had fallen and fractured her wrist the previous week while training for the long jump, so she was volunteering to sell refreshments instead of competing along with her teammates.Nyota wished Lily good luck and watched her friend run over to the track as spectators started to arrive. Nyota knew she should head over to the stand, but she kept staring at the place where she had fallen. “What’s the point of being here?” Nyota thought to herself.Just then, she heard a friendly voice behind her say, “Hello, Nyota! Can you help me find a seat?” It was Mrs. Ogaz, Lily’s grandmother, whom Nyota knew well. “I want to sit uphigh so I can see, but I need help going up the stairs.”“I would love to help you, Mrs. Ogaz,” replied Nyota.Mrs. Ogaz leaned on Nyota’s good arm as they carefully climbed up the bleachers to a spot with a great view of the finish line. “Thank you so much! You’re very helpful.” Mrs. Ogaz’s comment lifted Nyota’s spirits.Nyota hurried over to the stand and started selling soft drinks. Before she knew it, the track meet was over.

Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to（往往，倾向于）stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed（挤出）between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actuallyfull. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of（尽管）all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject（拒绝）older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.8．In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C．They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.D．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.9．This text is mainly the relationship between _________.A．Americans and the FrenchB．life styl e and obesityC．children and adultsD．fast food and overweight10．The text is mainly developed __________.A．by contrast （对比）B．by space C．by process（变化过程）D．by classification（分类）11．Where does this text probably come from?A．A TV interview B．A food advertisementC．A health report D．A book review（书评）In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because ithas been a colony of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law. However, their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of thin area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don’t see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the moderm French Republic,which bring with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.12．Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?A．They seldom follow the French law.B．They often ignore the Cuianese law.C．They are separated the modem world.D．They are both Cuianese and French citizens.A．a tour guide B．a geographerC．a film director D．a photographer14．What is Gin's attitude towards the lives of indigenous Guianese?A．Cautious.B．Doubtful.C．Uninterested D．Apprecitive.15．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A．The modera Frrnch lifestyle.B．The self-supporting hunting.C．The uncivilized world.D．The French Republic.二、七选五If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, itprovides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day. 17Your metabolism(新陈代谢) gets a head start. 18 If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie(卡路里) burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.19 Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.20 If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to continue to focus on positive choices.There are a lot of benefits to working out, especially in the mornings.

Therefore, when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored (忽略) it. It seemed to be heart-breaking, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.But a general responsibility for game organizing made me obliged to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter t ho world of the living. I choked our team’s website daily. Feeling proud each time a donation added to our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in, Therefore, I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it religiously and didn’t let anything got in my way.Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often.

Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. It’s rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your “lucky fortune” on the piece of paper inside.The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began giving out the cookie with “thank you” notes in them. These “thank you” notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination (歧视) of his early life in America.There is another origin story. Los Anglos is regarded as the site of the fortune cookie’s invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant living in L.A．, is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese food. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-Americanculture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie producer is located in the United States and it produces 4. 5million fortune cookies a day-an evidence to the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was cited for being “too American”.So the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.8．What do we know about fortune cookies?A．They are as popular in China as in America.B．They are often added to the customers’ bill.C．They first appeared in America during WWIL.D．They contain pieces of paper with good wishes.9．Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco?A．To make profits.B．To express thanks.C．To raise people’s spirits.D．To help people out of hardship. 10．Which of the following sentences may be found in Jung’s cookies?A．Each exit is an entrance to new experiences.B．I’m being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.C．Only taste fortune cookies; forget all others.D．The fortune that you seek is not in this cookie.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Can Fortune Cookies Tell Your Fortune?B．A Symbol of Chinese CultureC．Fortune Cookies, Chinese or American?D．Chinese Restaurants in AmericaImagine a world without insects. It might sound good at first without creepy-crawly bugs and annoying flies in your apartment. However, the results would be harmful.The number of insects has dropped by more than half in the past decades, according to British biologist Dave Goulson, author of Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse. As insects make up most of the known species on this planet, this data is not good news.Insects are indeed on the path to dying out, according to the first global scientific review of insect population decrease, which was published in the journal Biological Conservation in January 2019. The researchers say intensive agriculture has been the main cause of thedecrease. Pesticides(杀虫剂), in particular, destroy insect habitats. Urbanization and climate change are also significant reasons. “Unless we convert our ways of producing food, insects will go down the path of dying out in a few decades.”What would happen to Earth without insects? It’s almost impossible to predict, but the soil healthy and much more. Without insects, many animals would have nothing to eat, and the predators(捕食者) of those animals would go hungry ns well. The ecosystem(生态系统)would be thrown off balance.“If insect species losses cannot be stopped, this will have harmful effects for both the planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind, said Sanchez-Bayo. once of the authors of the review. The first step to stop this process is “to build a society that values the natural world, both for what it does for us and for its own sake”, Sanchez-Bayo suggests. “The obvious place to start is with our children, encouraging environmental awareness from an early age.”12．What is people’s general impression of insects?A．Very interesting.B．Quite unpleasant.C．Extremely helpful.D．Unexpectedly harmful.13．What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Drop.B．Change.C．Expand.D．Simplify. 14．Why are insects so important to Earth according to this article?A．Insects keep the earth ecosystem.B．Insects ensure the earth’s diversity.C．Insects make the soil dry and healthy.D．Insects help slow down climate change.15．What can we do to stop insect species losses according to Sanchez-Bayo?A．Use nature in a gentle way.B．Produce less food for human beings.C．Educate younger generation to know about it.D．Provide insects with enough habitats and food.二、七选五Successful people not only have healthy morning habits, but also know how to finish offtheir day right.

2021-2022学年黑龙江省八校联考高一（上）期中英语试卷AHello and welcome to English with Lucy.Today we have another topic："Four common British expressions." Now,before we get started,make sure you connect with me on all my social media which is right here.You can subscribe to my YouTube.You can also like me on Facebook.And for my Chinese followers,I have my Weibo account as well.Four Common British Expressions："A piece of cake"And this is very similar to "Easy-peasy,lemon squeezy," which we've discussed in aformer video.And basically,it means very easy.So I might come out of an easy examsaving,"That exam was a piece of cake. ""Break a leg!"It actually looks really rather cruel,but I promise you it's positive.And "Break a leg!"means "Good luck!"

I might say "Break a leg!""It cost an arm and a leg."And this basically means something was really expensive.If I say,"My bag cost an arm and a leg," I mean it cost a lot of money."To call it a day."And this means "to end a task".So,for example,"I'm feeling a bit tired.I think I'll call it a day."

"Most people actually speak several languages — it's less common to only speak one," says Mr.Munro. "English has taken its place as the world's common language,but it's notpushing out other languages."

It's impossible to find all the English words in the dictionary.C. Some technology companies start to publish English dictionaries.D. Smaller businesses are not allowed to have English websites.11.What can we learn from what Mr.Munro said？______A. The other languages are enriching English.B. One can't live well without speaking several languages.C. English will become the only language in the world.D. Chinese used to be the world's common language.DGarbage sorting has become a hot issue around China,especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.Beijing has thus been expected to follow suit.The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments,property management groups and otherorganizations.It also gives rules for companies,outlining how they're responsible for waste collection,transportation and treatment.Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation. "Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal," said Sun Xinjun,director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management.In Shanghai,violators are now fined up to 200 yuan for trash-sorting violations（违背）.The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that,he said.The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009.Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types-recyclablewaste,kitchen trash,dangerous waste and others — and leave it in a corresponding（相应的）dustbin or trash can.Blue-colored dustbins indicate items within are recyclable,greenrepresents kitchen trash,red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base ofparticipants,authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot.Withintelligent devices,those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points,which can be used to buy daily goods.At some communities,there are no color-coded dustbins.Instead,a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment.In other communities,workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016，Xinhua News Agency reported.12.Which of the following shouldn't be thrown into a blue dustbin？______A. Coke cans.B. Used books.C. Thrown-away batteries.D. Abandoned iron pots.13.It's known from the passage that ______ .A. Shanghai carried out garbage sorting later than BeijingB. Green color indicates recyclable waste like deserted clothesC. people sorting recyclable waste will be rewarded throughout BeijingD. citizens are not responsible for garbage sorting in Beijing now14.What is the best title for the text？______A. An Example in Garbage Sorting in ShanghaiB. Action to Be Taken to Sort Garbage in ShanghaiC. Present Garbage Collection in BeijingD. New Garbage Sorting Regulation in Beijing15.Where can you read the article？______A. A fashion magazine.B. A science book.C. A government report.D. A newspaper.When learning English,some students may find it difficult to improve their listening.Here are some tips. (1) .Relax yourself(2) .You need to relax.This will help you with your listening.Listen carefully to the first sentenceThe first sentence tells a lot about the whole passage.For example,if,at the beginning,you hear "Many shops in many parts of China have decided to take away all kinds of Japanese goods off their shelves,but some people say it's not a good idea.Our reporter says..." (3) .Think when you're listening(4) .For example,you can think of the following questions：What happened？When,whereand how？What was the result and what did the speaker want to tell us？In this way,you may understand the passage better.(5)It's important for you to remember some important facts.For example,if the passage is a science report,you should try to remember its findings,and how the scientists got their results.This is also helpful to your listening.A.Listen to important factsB.Pay attention to key wordsC.Maybe they can help you in one way or anotherD.When you're listening,try to do some thinkingE.This is especially helpful to improve your listening skillsF.Before you start listening to something,don't get excited or nervousG.you know you will hear a piece of news,not a children's story,or a science report16.
