2021年高二上学期第一次（10月）月考英语试题含答案第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)I was in a shopping mall recently, and I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from the first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it.There was a young man in front of me in the line also waiting to be served. The young man handed the servant a twenty-dollar bill and asked for an orange juice as well as a favor. The servant looked at the young man with a little surprise, not fully understanding him. The young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be pletely safe at all times. Later, there was a wonderful exchange (交换) between the waitress and the old man. I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I thought he was hoping thatthis act of kindness might inspire others to do something for the old man as well. Thinking of the happy smiles on the old man’s face, I felt how worthwhile it is to help others.21. The underlined word “favor” in Para. 2 refers to .A. passing the young man a cup of orange juiceB. buying lunch for the old manC. giving the juice to the old manD. exchanging meals with the old man22. Which of the following can be used to describe the young man?A. Humorous and helpful.B. Generous and proud.C. Rich and friendly.D. Kind and considerate.23. In the author’s opinion, the young man asked the servant to take the juice to the old man so that .A. more people would be inspired to do good deedsB. he would bee famous for his good deedC. the old man could probably accept itD. he would bee a friend of the servantBThe Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores withinthe Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the munity and the environment.The concept (概念) of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your munity and reducing pollution.Better for the environmentSustainability (持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and r efrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.Taste and nutritional contentLocally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness (成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor arekept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.munity and home valuesWhen you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaging in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your munity.24. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .A. global warming is the most serious problem nowB. the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customersC. North American food is rich in various kinds of materialsD. most people support buying locally25. Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostly because .A. they are sent to the market at a high speedB. they are not polluted by chemical fertilizerC. they can be harvested at any timeD. they are picked when they are fully grown26. According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods .A. you can see how fruits and vegetables growB. you will bee much healthier and prettierC. you will contribute to protecting the environmentD. you are making money from your munity27. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The benefits of buying locally.B. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.C. The importance of protecting the environment.D. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.CPeople often say that money talks. They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.Sometimes people in business feel businesses are as dangerous as wild animals in a jungle. They have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there. They must not be led into making bogus investments (投资). Bogus means something that is not real. It was said that the word came from a criminal (罪犯) whose name was Borghese. Borghese wrote checks to people although he didn’t have money. After he wrote the checks, he would disappear. So, people who were paid with his checks received nothing.People trying to earn money also must be aware of being ripped off. A personwho is ripped off has had something stolen, or at least has been treated unfairly. To keep from getting ripped off in business, people had better try to earn money step by step instead of getting rich quickly.To be successful, a person in business works hard and tries to get down to brass tacks. For example, a salesman may talk about his product without saying the price. You get down to brass tacks when you say, “It sounds good, but how much does it cost?” Word experts thought the expression came from sailors on ships. They cleaned the bottom of a boat. After they finished, they were down to the brass tacks, the copper pieces that held the boat together. So, if we get down to brass tacks, we can avoid rip-offs and bogus ways of earning money.28. What would happen to those people who make bogus investments?A. They would lose a lot of money.B. They would disappear after that.C. They would receive nothing but checks.D. They were more likely to be punished by law.29. The best way to avoid being ripped off in business is to .A. work as hard as possibleB. ask for checks in advanceC. avoid being wealthy eagerlyD. earn as more money as you can30. When doing business, people prefer to get down to brass tacks to .A. keep themselves from being fooledB. develop more ways of earning moneyC. reduce their production costsD. get in touch with more partners31. In which part of a newspaper can we find this passage?A. News and business.B. The history of language.C. Words and their stories.D. Funny new expressions.DMore often than not, people will look at the phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook. Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong need to look at our phones. Using the mobile phone, they say, is contagious (蔓延的).A team says people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their text messages or e-mails if they’re with someone that has just done the same. They also found that women were more likely to use their mobile phones than men. The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around the college, observing pairs of college students sitting at tables for as long as 20 minutes and recording their cellphone use. “What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones,” Dr. Daniel Kruger, the study’s co-author, said. “Every person we studi ed used his or her phoneat least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time. People saw others checking their ining messages and began to check their own.”“Cellphones create another choice for one’s attention and may both support and disagre e with live social activities,” the researchers wrote. Kruger believed this could be explained by the effects of social inclusion (包含) and exclusion (排除). If one person in a pair starts a conversation through his phone, the other one may feel excluded and then feel the need to get in touch with others so as not to feel left out.The researchers note that they might not get the same result in a study of different people—for example, older adults, who may not have a habit of using cellphones so often.32. From the study we can learn that .A. people can affect each other in using mobile phonesB. using mobile phones has nothing to do with social activitiesC. men are more likely to be affected by others’ using mobile phonesD. the sound of mobile phones makes using mobile phones contagious33. If old adults are studied, the researchers .A. will find that old adults don’t like to use mobile phonesB. will find that mobile phones are harmful to healthC. will no longer like using mobile phonesD. may reach a different result34. Which can best describe the author’s attitude towards using mobile phones?A. Supportive.B. Objective.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.35. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. How to use mobile phones correctlyB. Why college students like mobile phonesC. Relation between mobile phones and people’s hobbiesD. Something interesting about the habit of using mobile phones第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021-2022年高三上学期期中考试英语试题含答案(VII)II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: Read the following two passages. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.The mon cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is a serious infection that man receives.21_____________(widespread) mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses 22_____________(pass) on from person to person. You catch a cold by ing into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in separated Arctic (北极的) areas, explorers have reported being free from colds 23_____________ touching again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail24_____________(drop) from airplanes.During the First World War, soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches, cold and wet, seldom caught colds.In the Second World War, prisoners at the Notorious Auschwitz Concentration Camp were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the mon Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments 25_____________ they gave themselves to the disforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in a room. Some wore wet socks all day 26_____________ others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold 27_____________ a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? 28_____________ the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for coldviruses to be passed on.No one 29_____________(find) a cure for the cold so far. There are drugs and pain-killers 30_____________ _____________ aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.Section BDirections: plete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. neglectedB. surroundingC. peersD. achievingE. creditedF. debatedG. adolescence H.genetics I. unique J.concerning K.universallyThe area of child psychology is one of the most significant and well studied of all the branches of psychology. It aims to help with ____31____ a greater understanding of the behavior of children through an understanding of their minds. It deals with children who range from the prenatal(出生前的)stage right up to the stage of ____32____.The psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) has been ____33____ with making a major breakthrough in this area when he put forward his idea that children were not actually less intelligent than adults, rather they just thought in a different way. Preciously the development of children right from birth through to adulthood was an area that was almost pletely ____34____. In fact very little work was done in this area. However, interest in this field has now developed to the point of being one of the most ____35____ of all the areas of psychology.Despite popular belief that factors such as ____36____ or personal characteristics are the only determining factors that influence a youth’s behavior, this is not in fact the case. In reality, development actually includes many more factors than those contained within an individual. Factors such as environment, which can include social relationships and the ____37____ culture, also play important roles. Relationships with both ____38____ and adults will no doubt affect how children think and learn, and therefore develop. These relationships can include those that are found not only within families but also in schools and peer groups.Culturally speaking, this factor will contribute greatly to how children develop their personality ____39____ the values they end up holding (perhaps for a lifetime) as well as how they view such things as traditions and customs.Nowadays, psychologists have agreed that a child’s psychology is both ____40____ and highly plex. However, there are debates on many different points in this field and many viewpoints exist.III. Reading prehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.With the sudden urge for social engagements in the modern world, many events and activities are being promoted to attract teens and adults. While adults feel out of place in a space filled with younger aged teens, often times, teens find themselves having to ____41____ between two extremes being presented by the society. Either teens decide to attend these events and are heavily pressured to “take just one sip”, or____42____ in the popular act of drinking. Promoters have bee so eager to have a successful event that the age of teenagers is totally disregarded. The legal drinking age is currently eighteen, but illegally drinking age is as low as zero. Most people have their first drink by the time they’re 13. Unbelievably, that first drink can be the ____43____ of a troubled life.A few reasons for teens drinking are peer pressure, enjoyment, ____44____, sadness, boredom, rebellion and insomnia. But the main reason for doing so is “to ____45____the law.” Teenagers bee ____46____with alcoholic beverages from the moment they enter high school. That means that a large quantity of teens under the age of seventeen to eighteen have used alcohol before. Teens feel as though drinking before the legal age is a big deal, so they all try to ____47____the rest of the ‘legal’ society. Being a ____48____ and not following the rules is an important role of a teen’s life, though no one wants to face the consequences of being an adult.Despite the fact that is illegal for young teens to purchase alcohol, they are able to get it through their parent’s own liquor cabinets,____49____ store clerks, or older friends who purchase it for them.As we all see, it is not hard for teens to obtain alcohol. Since there seems to be no elimination of under aged teen drinking in society, why then not just ____50____the drinking age? Drinking can make teens “feel good”, but this feeling lasts only for a short time. Teenagers on shows like “Gossip Girl” get drunk regularly, but those shows rarely ____51____ the problems alcohol can cause. Teenagers often think that drinking will give you more energy, but ____52____isn’t an energy drink; it’s a depressant. Alcohol ____53____ damages the brain and body, and for this to happen at a very young age, is saddening.Drinking stimulates poorly made decisions by tens, and ____54____, many teens end up pregnant, dropping out of school. They may even get hurt or ____55____ in severe accidents caused by their being drunk. 41．A．cause B．choose C．avoid D．witness 42．A．pick up B．deal with C．fight againstD．engage in43．A．excuse B．start C．symbol D．meaning 44．A．anxiety B．disorder C．imitation D．lifestyle45．A．observe B．resist C．break D．invent 46．A．busy B．content C．honest D．familiar 47．A．Fit in with B．Make up for C．Catch up with D．Hold on to48．A．follower B．supporter C．lawyer D．rebel 49．A．illegal B．irresponsible C．forgetfulD．unsatisfactory50．A．report B．lower C．raise D．eliminate 51．A．solve B．blame C．explore D．assume 52．A．water B．wine C．liquor D．alcohol 53．A．constantly B．actually C．exactly D．unexpectedly 54．A．As a result B．In return C．On the contraryD．After all55．A．arrested B．cheated C．disturbed D．killedSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. 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.(A)Once upon a time it was boarding school adventures and mysteries solved by tweed-w earing detectives that fired young readers’ imaginations. Now, it seems that it is the promise of tales of blood sucking vampires, unstoppable zombies, howling werewolves and terrifying beasts that inspires young audiences to pick up a book.But what is it about horror fiction that so appeals to young readers, and just how scary do they like it?“I think horror allows teenagers to focus on real-life issues in a fantastical way, helping them analyse and make sense of the world as they are ing to a greater un derstanding of it,” says Darren. “In my book, Lord Loss, the main character’s parents and sister are slaughtered by demons. While that’s obviously not going to happen to anyone in the real world, many children will lose people they love during their formative years, whether it’s grandparents dying of old age, or friends or relatives in accidents. A book like this can hopefully help them prepare for when death strikes at them in real life. Good horror is always about helping us prepare for the darker aspects of life –and since we can’t avoid them, we might as well turn them into entertainment!”Darren tours frequently, attending events in schools and libraries, and talking to young readers helps him gauge what they can and can’t take in terms of frightening content. He explains: “When I’m writing an especially terrible scene, I imagine myself reading it out in a live environment, and ask myself if I would feel fortable doing so. If not, I’ll go back and tweak the scene. I have no set formula for deciding wha t is suitable and what is not. I simply go with my gut instinct.”56. What is the point of the article?A. To remend some popular horror books.B. To analyze why horror fiction fascinates young people.C. To explore how horror fiction benefits young readers.D. To introduce how Darren creates horror books.57. The underlined phrase “going from strength to strength” in Paragraph2 is closest in meaning to ______.A. being increasingly successfulB. improving imaginationC. getting darker and scarierD. failing to attract attention58. Darren Shan thinks that his books interest young people because______.A. they are exciting and inspiringB. they are about the darker aspects of lifeC. they deal with real-life issues in a fanciful wayD. they teach people how to deal with real-life problems59. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. Teenagers feel fortable with Darren’s imagination.B. The more frightening a book is, the better it sells.C. Darren visits schools from time to time to promote his books.D.

According to Gerald Crabtree, a scientist at Stanford University in the US, we are.You may not want to hear this, but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2,000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill. “If an average Greek from 1,000 BC were transported to modern times, he or she would be one of the brightest amongus,” Crabtr ee told The Guardian.At the heart of Crabtree’s thinking is a simple idea. In the past, intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food. The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death. However, after the spread of agriculture, when our ancestors began to live in dense farming munities, the need to keep their intelligence in peak condition gradually reduced.This is not hard to understand. Most of the time, pressure is what keeps us going –you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework; the pressure of looking pretty prompts you to lose weight when summer es. And the same is also true of our intelligence – if we think less, we bee less smart.These mutations(变异) are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3,000 years. The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes. He found that among the 2,000 to 5,000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence, there are two or more mutations in each of us.However, Crabtree’s theory has been criticized by some who say thatearly humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities, but people today have developed a more diverse intelligence. For example, spearing a tiger doesn’t neces sarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem. Moreover, the power of modern education means a lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays.“You wouldn’t get Stephen Hawking 2,000 years ago. He just wouldn’t exist,” Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick, UK, told Live Science. “But now we have people of his intellectual capacity doing things and making insights that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation.”64. What is Crabtree’s recen t finding according to the article?A．The Greeks from 1,000 BC could have been the smartest in human history.B. Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we donowadays.C. Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected thedevelopment of intelligence.D. Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since theinvention of farming.65. According to Crabtree, ancient humans _______.A. had much more genes that determine human intelligenceB. were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressuresC. relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligenceD. developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the harsh realities66. Some argue that Crabtree’s theory is false because they think _______.A. people today are under much more pressure than early humansB. it’s ridiculous to pare a hunter’s and a poet’s intelligenceC. modern education is far more advanced than ancient educationD. human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past67. What is Thomas Hills’ attitude toward Crabtree’s theory?A. SupportiveB. UnfavourableC. WorriedD. Confused.Section CDirections: Read the following passage and fill in each blank with the sentence that best fits the context. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.Second Life is an online imaginary world where a puter user can create a new self and experience a separate life. Second Life is similar to other popular "massively multiplayer online role-playing games." The pany Linden Lab of San Francisco, California created Second Life in two thousand three.____67____Then he or she creates an electronic image, or animatedcharacter, called an avatar. Some people try to make their avatar look as close to their real self as possible. Other people change their sex or bee an imaginary creature as their Second Life avatar.Once you have your avatar you bee a "resident" of Second Life. ____68____Your avatar also can make friends with other Second Life avatars. Residents can go to school, own a business, even get married. But, there are also activities in Second Life that are impossible in the real world. For example, if you do not feel like walking to that park near your Second Life home, why not fly?____69____But it costs money to get other accounts and to buy land. The virtual world has its own currency, the Linden dollar. You use these to buy virtual clothes, property, entertainment and many other things. You can earn Linden dollars by working at a job. That unreal money has a real life value. About two hundred fifty Linden dollars are worth one American dollar.Second Life is popular among schools and businesses.Many universities have set up campuses on the Web site. Many kinds of stores can also be found there. And, entertainers sometimes perform live on Second Lifewith their Second Life avatars.____70____It is said that the total number of residents is more than thirteen million from more than one hundred countries.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.A new study of 8000young people in the journal of health and social behavior shows that love can make adults live healthily and happily ,it is a bad thing for young people.puppy love may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression.the study shows that girls bee more depressed than boys,and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is"loss of self".According to the study,even though boys would say"lose themselves in a romantic relationship",this"lose of self"is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls.young girls who have romantic relationshipsusually like hiding their feeling and opinions.they won't tell that to their parents.Dr. Marianm Kaufman,an expert on young people problems,say 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romantic often causes the depression.She advises kids not to jump into romantic too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends,attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression---eating or mood changes---and if they see signs from their daughter or son,they need to give help.The good news is that connection between romance and depression seems to bee weak with age.Love will always make us feel young,but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.第II卷（共47分）I.

第I卷（选择题）第一部分阅读（共两节，满分30分）第一节阅读理解（每小题2分, 共20分）A group of people decided to climb a mountain together. They thought it was going to be an easy climb, so they laughed and talked among themselves and didn’t notice the sky growing darker. They soon got lost for they couldn’t see very far in front of them. They huddled together that night over a fire.No one walked too far away from the group by themselves because it would surely lead to death. They sat close to each other throughout the dark hours not just for warmth, but for the fact that staying with the group was their only hope for survival. After what felt like a century, the sun started its slow climb up the sky. They were now able to see as far ahead of them as they liked, so they began to go down the mountain.They still remained as a group at this time even though there was no real need. A bond (凝聚力) had formed throughout the group that could not be broken or ignored. They knew each other just as well as they knew themselves. As they reached the place where they had started their journey, they knew it was time to say goodbye. Feeling at peace, they bowed (鞠躬) deeply to each other. All of them kept the love they created as a group close to their hearts as they made their way out into the world alone.1. What was the difficulty the group of people met in the mountain?A. Damaged roads.B. Animals’ attack.C. Losing their way.D. Running out of food.2. What does the underlined word “huddled” in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Talked a lot.B. Sat close to each other.C. Played happily.D. Explored the mountain.3. What was the most important thing they did in order to survive?A. They kept close to each other.B. They told stories to encourage others.C. They made a fire to keep warm.D. They sent some people tofind the way.4. They remained as a group when going down the mountain because ______.A. the way was still not clearB. they enjoyed being in a groupC. they needed others to pull themD. the way became difficult to walk onBIn my thirty years as a time management speaker, I have observed (观察) a lot of what we can not and should not do to increase our daily results. Time management is not necessarily working harder, but rather smarter.A lot of our time management has to do more with what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are some time management mistakes we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency:Start your day without a plan of action.Without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough right things. Time management is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. That just gets us nowhere faster. Time management is doing the right things.Work with a messy (凌乱不堪) desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. That’s seven and a half hours per week. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easily find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment.Don’t take a lunch break.Many people do not take a lunch break. They work through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to finish the task. Studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, our mind will bee boring. A lunch break, even a fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again.5. With a plan of action, you can ______.A. work harderB. do the wrong things more rapidlyC. avoid doing wrong thingsD. get nowhere faster6. Working with a messy desk or work area, you will ______.A. waste a lot of timeB. find the things you need easilyC. bee a top managerD. save seven and a half hours per week7. The text mainly tells us ______.A. how to avoid wasting timeB. we should get our batteries all charged upC. how important time management isD. some time management mistakesCDear God,This is Charles. I’m twelve. I’m typing this letter. Sometimes it’s hard for me to write. It’s a disease called dysgraphia. I also have learning disabilities, but my IQ was tested at 140.I could never hold a pencil in the right way. My brain doesn’t sense what my hand is doing. I can feel the pencil, but the message doesn’t get through right. I have to hold the pencil tighter so that my brain knows I have it in my hand.It’s much easier for me to explain things by talking than writing. There are so many things I can picture in my mind, but my hands just can’t draw it the way I see it.It’s OK. I’m not plaining. I’m really doing fine. You see, you gave me a wonderful mind and a great sense of humor. I’m great at figuringthings out, and I love to debate. We have some great discussions in class, and that’s where I really shine.I want to be a lawyer when I grow up. I know I’d be good at it. You have told me that you made me special. You make me believe that you will see me through, and that you have plans for me to give me a future and hope.My parents want to help me, so they buy me a laptop. My teacher is the best this year! I am allowed to do a lot of my work on the puter.Life’s hard sometimes, but I accept the challenge. Thanks for loving me. Thanks for everything.Charles8.

湖南省长沙县第九中学2021-2022学年高二上学期10月周测英语试卷A"I'm ready." said Alyssa Carson,a now 17-year-old astronaut-in-training from BatonRouge,Louisiana.For her,riding the most aggressive（刺激的）roller coaster in the park is not a big deal.If all goes according to her plans,NASA will send her to Mars in 2033，making her the first human to step foot on the planet.She will spend two to three years doing something on it,growing food,performing science experiments,and searching for signs of life."The Martian is actually very accurate." she said,"A lot of the things that happened in the movie are similar to what is going to happen." She's devoted her entire life to preparing for this journey.Her love for space started when she was 3 years old and watched a cartoon called The Backyardigans.Five animal friends go on imaginary adventures in their backyard including in one part,a mission to Mars. "I thought 'This red planet is so cool,'" she said. "I started watching videos of rovers' landing on Mars.I had a large map of Mars in my room I would look at.We started getting telescopes so we could look at space."At 7 her father took her to space camp in Huntsville,Alabama. "That was the weekend of my life," she said. "I got to learn everything I had been wanting to know and more...I got to see a life-size rocket." She cherished the rocket so much that she returned 18 times.At the age of 12 she became the first person in history to attend all three NASA space camps in Huntsville,Alabama；Quebec,Canada；and Izmir,Turkey.At first she mastered the basics of space and how humans have explored it throughout time.As she got older she simulated（模拟）missions,trying to reach a destination in gravity-free,weightless zones.When she was 9 she met NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus.The experienced explorer told her she was her age when she decided to go to space.At that moment Alyssa knew her love of space was not a passing hobby."I did the same thing as other kids,like switching my mind about careers,wanting to be a teacher or the president one day," she said. "But the way I always thought about it was I would become an astronaut,go to Mars,come back,and then be a teacher or the president."1.After being sent to Mars,what will happen to Alyssa Carson？______A. She will meet NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus.B. She will be the youngest to have completed astronaut training.C. She will be the first human to perform different tasks on the Mars.D. She will have visited the space camp in Huntsville,Alabama for nearly 20 times.2.What kind of personalities does Alyssa Carson have？______A. Patient and responsible.B. Humorous and confident.C. Respectable and generous.D. Determined and ambitious.3.What is the author's purpose of writing the text？______A. To encourage tours to the Mars.B. To promote the values of American teens.C. To present a rising American space star.D. To introduce American space industry.BYou may have come across several "strange " cultural practices；some would provide you with fear,while others would leave you astonished.The wife-carrying competition in Finland belongs to the latter one.Strange as it might sound,wife-carrying is a real sport in Finland.In fact,it is a highly competitive sport in which male competitors race while each carrying a female teammate.The objective is for the male to carry the female through a special obstacle（障碍）track in the fastest time.The length of the official track is 253.5 metres with two dry obstacles and a water obstacle about one metre deep. The first modern-day wife-carrying event was held in Finland in 1992 and foreign competitors gained admission in 1995.This event is now held annually in Sonkajärvi ，Finland as the World Championship.Although many might consider the sport a joke,competitors take it very seriously.Like every serious sport,the wife-carrying competition also has its guidelines which are set by the InternationalWife-Carrying Competition Rules Committee.While the International rules are the basis for all competitions,rules and prizes do vary for each competition.It is not mandatory that you must be legally married to the "wife" to be carried,she may even be your neighbour's wife or even someone you met during the competition；she must,however,be over 17years of age.And her minimum weight must be 49 kilograms；otherwise,she will be burdened with a rucksack（沙袋）containing additional weight to bring the total load to be carried up to 49 kg.All participants must enjoy themselves.Yes,that is also one of the rules.Special prizes go to the most entertaining couple,the best costume,and the strongest carrier.And for the grand prize,the wife's weight in beer goes to the couple who completes the course in the shortest time.Whether you win or lose,the good thing is the sport encourages team spirit among couples.4.Which can't be used to describe the wife-carrying competition？______A. Serious.B. Fearful.C. Astonishing.D. Competitive.5.What is true about the competition？______A. The first event was in 1992.B. The rules are flexible for each competition.C. The official track is 253.5 metres long and 1 metre deep.D. By no means can wives weighing less than 49 kg participate in it.6.What does the underlined word "mandatory" in paragraph 5 mean？______A. Necessary.B. Important.C. Possible.D. Strange.CQuite often,no matter how good you are,your success is dependent on how other people such as your boss,peers,clients and customers notice your communication and responses.So when you come to people who make the key difference between helping you or holding you back,how can you influence and persuade them to give what you want.Psychological research repeatedly show that people generally make up their minds on whether to help you or not based on whether they like you or not.It is human nature.What can you do about it？You need to make a good impression on others to ensure they like you and give you what you want.Research again shows that people give opportunities to the people they like best.In fact,most people actually make up their minds about other people in the first five minutes or less of meeting someone.These are called first impressions or "moments of truth."Once they make up their minds,they tend to be very unwilling to change their opinions.You hardlyhave room for error when making that first impression on a new acquaintance.Therefore,whether you are applying for a job,going for an interview,attending a meeting with your boss or peers,or serving a customer,you need to prepare yourself mentally and rehearse（排练）how you will manage the first few minutes of your interaction.This includes doing your homework to gather information and researching all possible issues so you will know how to deal with them if the other party（另一方）raise them unexpectedly.It is amazing how poorly some people can come across at the beginning.The worst thing is that they do not even seem to realize it.Having good qualifications and an excellent work performance does not mean that candidates can succeed in making a good first impression.7.What is the passage mainly about？______A. Persuading people to like you.B. Making a good first impression.C. People making the key difference.D. Useful tips for a job interview.8.What would people do when they like you according to Paragraph 2？______A. They would pay much attention to your good qualifications.B. They would prefer to ignore your weaknesses.C. They would change their opinions frequently.D. They would be willing to offer chances.9.Which of the following tips might help in an interview according to the author？______A. Know as much as possible about the situation.B. Ask the interviewers for homework to do.C. Show your friendliness and confidence.D. Do something unexpected to impress interviewers.10.What will probably be talked about in the next part of the passage？______A. Questions that might be asked by the interviewers.B. How to win over people who don't like you at first.C. Some practical advice to help making a good first impression.D. Examples of how good first impressions help people succeed.China has been the birthplace of many of the world's greatest inventions.It was,for example,the first country to produce paper money.Before the invention of paper money and coins,people used many different kinds of things for buying and selling.（1）______ This exchange of goods and servicesfor other goods and services is called bartering.（2）______ In 1200 BC，people in China began to use shells（贝壳）as ually the shells used as money were very small.This made it easier for people to carry money over long distances,and allowed for trade to develop between different parts of the country.In the years which followed this invention,many other countries around the world began to do the same.（3）______The next development was in 1000 BC，when China started making bronze and copper shells.It wasn't long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal.（4）______ By 500 BC，metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece,and later in the Roman Empire.About 1000 years later,leather（皮革）was used as money in China,and in 806 AD，the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people.（5）______A.People also began collecting foreign coins as souvenirs.B.It was still many years before paper currency appeared in Europe.C.However,as economies developed,such exchanges became impractical.D.As time went by,trade between countries increased.E.They also used tiny shells as money for buying and selling.F.During that time,for example,buying a chicken might cost several potatoes.G.The very first coins often had holes in them so that people could string them together.11.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Gallup used to conduct a poll(投票) that asked students to name the schoolsubject that they considered to be the most difficult. Not ____51____, mathematics came out on top of the difficulty chart. So what is it about math that makes it difficult?Dictionary defines the word “difficult” as “not easily or readily done; requiring much ____52___ or planning to be performed successfully.”This definition gets to the point of the problem when it es to math. What makes math difficult is that it takes patience and persistence. For many students, math is not something that es ___53_____. It takes effort. It is a subject that sometimes requires students to devote lots and lots of time and ___54_____.This means, for many, the problem has little to do with brain power; it is mostly a matter of staying power.

Logical, left-brain thinkers tend to understand things in sequential bits, while artistic, intuitive, right-brainers are more ___57____.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. 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 read.(A)October 17, 1989 is a day San Francisco will never forget. On that day, an unmon number of tragedies took place. It was also a day when total strangers became linked. The story of Jim Betts and Julio Berumen is a moving example of one such meeting.On that day, Petra Berumen took her daughter Cathy to the dentist. Also in the car was her son six-year-old Julio and their family friend Yolanda. Soon after Petra drove onto the highway, disaster struck. Without warning, the earth began to shake.The damage was terrible. Hugh trees bent as if they were made of rubber. Streets cracked and buildings collapsed. At least a stretch of the highway had crashed onto the lower level.Then as quickly as it started, the earthquake stopped. The Berumens’s car had been crushed be the steel. Petra and Yolanda were killed instantly. Cathy escaped unhurt but Julio, though still alive, was in danger. Not only was his right leg pinned down by the steel, he was also squeezed between the dead bodies of his mother and Yolanda.Rescuers had calmed Julio by the time Jim Betts, a doctor from Oakland Hospital, arrived. For two hours, Jim tried to free Julio with two bare hands. He did not stop to worry about the fact that aftershocks could send the highway to the ground.As soon as Julio was breathing, Jim kept working. However, Julio was languishing. Jim realized that he had only one choice. He would have to cut the boy’s right leg at the knee. Conditions were far from ideal. It was hot inside the car. Darkness had fallen outside.With great care, Jim started the operation. He had to try risky methods. Finally Julio was free.Those hours on the highway were like a nightmare. Jim said: “If my family members were up there badly hurt, they would urgently need help like that.”Though the day the earthquake tore many things apart, it also brought brave people together.66. The San Francisco earthquake was an unmon event for Julio and Jim because _________.A. the earth shook violently and suddenlyB. they became linked unexpectedlyC. they neither could see the broken highwayD. they both lost their family members67. In the fifth paragraph, Julio was languishing, which means that he was _________.A. about to dieB. plaining about the painC. losing his voiceD. crying68. According to the passage, Jim _________.A. successfully performed the operationB. had necessary equipment to rescue JulioC. was able to save Julio’s right legD. had one family member operated on69. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Berumens were trying to leave the dangerous city when the earthquake struck.B. Two people of the Berumen family finally survived from the earthquake.C. Knowing aftershocks would e soon, Jim tried to rescue Julio from the car.D. The conditions were agreeable enough for Jim to perform the operation.(B)At the end of the year, our magazine is revealing our annual food and shopping predictions based on our research.Grazing Golden-Agers:Ninety-one percent of people say they snack daily, according to Nielsen. While snacking is on the rise among all ages and genders, research shows that snacking among consumers over the age of 65 could contribute to additional years with ahigher quality of life. We’ll see more boomers-those raised in the “three square meals a day” period-employ a “grazing” approach to eating foods rich in nutrients like protein, fiber and Omega3 that can help promote bone health.Same-Day Delivery Not Just for City Clickers:Online grocery shopping and delivery has bee a crowded space, with a host of services peting for consumer attention. This trend allows everyone who sells food to be in the same-day delivery business without having to add additional operational facilities. Look for Google Shopping Express to put every supermarket in the same day delivery business and change consumer behavior to shop online for food to be delivered to homes fresh for each meal. You now can throw your refrigerator away!The Rise of Fermented Foods:The next year will be the year when fermented (发酵的) foods-foods like yogurt, pickles(泡菜) take center stage. These foods contain live cultures, or are preserved in liquid so their sugars and other seasonings can bee bacteria-promoting agents. In fact, a survey has found that nearly 50 percent of Americans have shown interest in fermented foods, who, especially those over 60s, have improved a lot in digestion. However, if treated inappropriately, the bacteria hidden in these foods might have our hospitals full of sick dinners.Therefore make sure to study the cooking skills well before you these foods.Supermarkets change into Socializing Spaces:Supermarkets have evolved from straightforward centers where consumers could buy groceries to providers of lifestyle. Supermarkets are developing a variety of services that help to establish each outlet as a showcase of lifestyle trends.A desire to be “all things food” to their customers, young and old, is positioning the supermarkets as head to head petitors with chain and local restaurants. Cooking classes, and online home-made recipes are also giving consumers reasons beyond a grocery list to step inside their neighborhood supermarkets instead of a local restaurant.70. The passage advises readers to give up refrigerator because_____A. people eat more snacks which don’t have to be put in refrigeratorsB. the refrigerators has bee useless operational facilities for food sellersC. food can be sent to customers within short time and freezing is not neededD. Fermented foods can be kept in normal temperature for much more time.71. For fermented foods, people must guarantee that______A. live cultures should be introduced while eating themB. these help in digestion should be introduced to the publicC. bacteria should be killed before being put into the foodsD. cooking should be conducted carefully to avoid disease72. It is implied in the last paragraph that______A. supermarkets sell recipes for trendy lifestyle to customersB. supermarkets used to be friends of chain and local restaurantsC. people can apply for cooking classes and obtain recipes in supermarketsD. Cooking classes encourage people to make food rather than dine out73. The two trends that are particularly good for the elderly are_____A. eating snacks and fermented foodsB. eating snacks and one-day deliveryC. one-day delivery and socializing supermarketsD. fermented foods and socializing supermarkets(C)Today, home-ownership has reached extremely high levels. Modern generations tend to believe there is something wrong with them if they rent. However, is high home-ownership really as people imagine? Staring at data first, we realize that the most successful, stable, attractive country in the Western world is Switzerland. It has tiny unemployment; wealth; high happiness and mental-healthscores. Does it have high home-ownership rates? Absolutely not. In Switzerland, about seven in ten of the population are renters. Yet, with Europe’s lowest home-ownership rate, the nation thrives. Now go to the other end of the misery distribution. Spain has approximately the highest home-ownership rate in Europe (at more than 80%). But one-quarter of its population are unemployed.A likely reason is that high levels of home-ownership mess up the labour market. In a sensibly functioning economy it is easy for people to move around to drop into the vibrant job slots thrown up by technological change. With a high degree of owner-occupation, everything slows. Folk get stuck. Renters can go to new jobs. In that way they do the economy a favours. As Friedman said, the rate of unemployment depends on the flexibility of the housing market.Next we e to economic breakdown. Most analysts accept that at heart it was the housing market-obsessive pursuit of homes, the engendered mortgage(房贷) lending and an unavoidable house-price crash-that sank the Western world. Germany, say, with its more efficient rental market, had a far smoother ride through trouble.As for the monetary system, in the past few decades, in the hope of getting untaxed capital gains way above their true labour earnings, many people threw their spare cash into buying larger houses or building extra bedrooms. TV programmesabout how to make easy money, beautiful rising house prices, and most importantly, our faulty tax system encouraged that. When at some point market broke down, everyone suffered. Our countries ought, instead, to design tax systems that encourage people to invest in productive real activities and in innovation. Renting leaves money free for better purposes.That also points to the role of sensible budgeting over a person’s lifetime. Why should we think that when we die it is necessary to have paid off an entire house? Our children do not deserve it. Let them pay for themselves. We should rent-and enjoy our lives with the money saved.Finally, moderation usually pays off. Our scientific understanding of how economies function is horribly limited. This suggests that the golden rule should be to avoid extremes. A50-50mix of home-ownership and renting, not the 70-30 split that is now observed in so many Western nations, makes sense.74. The cases of Switzerland and Spain prove that_____A. low home-ownership rate at about 30% is most favourable for economyB. home-ownership mainly decides a country’s citizens’ mental healthC. home-ownership has a lot to do with a country’s technological deve lopmentD. low home-ownership increases the mobility of job market and economy75. The main reason to make people invest in housing market is____A. the problematic taxing approach favouring house buyingB. people’s desire to avoid their money from d evaluingC. easy channels to obtain methods to make easy moneyD. people’s wishes to live in large and more fortable houses76. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Switzerland suffers the worse unemployment in EuropeB. Renting allows more money into more creative economic activitesC. Germany’s effective mortgage system saw it through the western economiccrisisD. Our children have the right to enjoy the housing property we have paid off77. What opinion does the author agree with most?A. People should learn the workings of housing marketB. Laws should be set up to stop people from buying housesC. An adequate rate of home-ownership should be keptD. People should follow the good example of Europe in housing investment Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.The herds of bulls and horses depicted running along the walls of the Lascaux caves in France are among the most magnificent examples of prehistoric art ever discovered.But rather than displaying hunting scenes, new evidence suggests that the images actually represent the frightening sounds which came from the mouths of the caves.US researcher Steven Waller believes that the echoes(回声) of clapping outside the cave would have sounded like hundreds of animal feet drumming on the ground. He proposes that the caves were preserved for their sound properties, which prehistoric peoples mistook for supernatural noises.Ancient stories explained echoes from the mouths of certain giant caves as replies from spirits, so our ancestors chose to decorate these caves with paintings believing that they were inhabited by spirits and gods.Beside animal sounds, many ancient cultures attributed thunder in the sky to ‘thunder gods,’ so it makes sense that some lasting echoes within the caves were interpreted as thunder and inspired paintings of those thunder gods on cave walls. The idea is also supported by audio theory, which shows statistically significant similarities between the rock are sites and modern sound reflection equipment.As for the presence of the famous Stonehenge(巨石阵) in Britain, Mr. Walker also suggests it may have been the sound of the prehistoric monument, rather than the sight, that inspired its creation.He claims that its architects may have been trying to recreate a sound-effect similar to the ritual sound made during religious dancing.People taking part in a religious dance around a pair of pipes would have heard the music grow quieter as they moved past certain pipes due to a natural phenomenon known as an ‘interference pattern.’ If they were blindfold, it would have created the illusion that the sound was intermittently being reduced by invisible gods as they danced. According to Dr. Walker, the effects became so impressive that ancient people attempted to capture it in store. Therefore the Stonehenge appeared.However some British experts said that it was clear that Stonehenge had been created over several centuries rather than being ‘thrown up overnight.’They claimed that there was no question in the traditional view that lining up along the mid-summer sunrise and mid-winter sunset was the ultimate purpose for its building.(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. According to ancient people, who lived in the big caves?79. Modern sound science finds that ____ and _____ have much in mon.80. According to Walker, how was the sound made weaker during religious dancing?81.
