福建省宁德第一中学2022-2023学年高二上学期第二次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The most popular of the amusement park sin Canada is Paramount Canada’s Wonderland. This park frequenty gets the most visitors of any seasonal park in North America. One reason is its numbers of wild rides. For younger kids, the television characters are very exciting. You can see Fred Flinstone, Sponge Bob Square Pants or Dora the Explorer. There are often rides starring these characters that are more popular among primary school student. There are plenty of fantastic shows for families to watch as well. What’s more, there are a variety of theme parties before midnight.Another popular theme park is Galaxyland Amusement Park. Amusement park’s fun shouldn’t be limited to just the summer months, and Galaxyland is aware of this. As the world’s largest indoor amusement park, Galaxyland packs in it 25 breathtaking rides and attractions. It is also home to one of the world’s largest indoor rollercoasters. Galaxyland remains one of the most popular theme parks in Canada for older children because of attractions like the Rock “N” Ride Dance Party. This party combines music, music videos and unlimited rides from 8 p.m. to midnight.One of the most visited amusement parks in Canada on the west coast is Playland. Playland, unlike other Canadian theme parks, has a long history in its city. Playland has all the fun of a carnival, with singing and dancing, scary houses, and a ferris wheel. There are also modern additions in the park, like a climbing wall for kids and a video game room. Playland is open from spring through fall though only on weekends and holidays before June 18 and after September 1st.1．Which of the following is TRUE about Paramount Canada’s Wonderland?A．It is the largest seasonal park in Canada.B．It offers many interesting performances to visitors.C．Its rides star many characters popular among teenagers.D．It has the biggest number of visitors of all the Canadian parks.2．What do these three popular theme parks have in common?A．They all have attractions for children.B．They all open throughout the year.C．They all have parties.D．They are all outdoor parks.A．encourage people to travel in CanadaB．compare different theme parks in CanadaC．introduce some popular Canadian theme parksD．offer some tips on visiting theme parks in CanadaDonna Strickland is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Professor Strickland is one of the recipients (接受者) of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 with Gerard Mourou, her PhD teacher at the time. They published this Nobel-winning research in 1985 when Strickland was a PhD student at the University of Rochester in New York state. Together they paved the way toward the most intense laser pulses ever created.Professor Donna Strickland is only the third woman ever to have won the Nobel Prize in Physics. She and her fellow winners were honored for what the Nobel Committee called groundbreaking inventions in laser physics. Professor Strickland found a pioneering way to use lasers as very precise drilling or cutting tools. Millions of eye operations are performed every year with these sharpest laser beams.“How surprising do you think it is that you’re the third woman to win this prize?”“Well that is surprising, isn’t it? I think that’s the story of Maria that people want to talk about —that why should it take 60 years? There are so many women out there doing fantastic research, so why does it take so long to get recognized?”Physics still has one of the largest gender(性别) gaps in science. One recent study concluded that at the current rate it would be more than two centuries until there were, equal numbers of senior male and female researchers in the field.The last woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics was German-born Maria Goeppert Mayer for her discoveries about the nuclei of atoms. Before that it was Marie Curie, who shared the 1903 prize with her husband, Pierre. This year winners hope that breaking this half century hiatus (间断) will mean the focus in the future will be on the research, rather than the gender of the researcher.4．Which of the following best explains the underlined word “groundbreaking” in Paragraph 2?A．breathtaking B．amazing C．innovative D．interesting5．What do we know about Professor Strickland’s achievement?A．She created the most intense laser pulses by herself.B．She supported equality between man and women.C．She discovered the nuclei of atoms with her husband.D．She invented a way of using lasers as cutting tools.6．When did the second woman winning the Nobel Prize in Physics win the honor?A．In 1903.B．In 1958.C．In 1963.D．In 1985. 7．What can be inferred from the statements in Paragraph 4?A．Women’s achievements in physics areas great as men’.B．Women’s achievements in physics are more and more fantastic.C．Maria’s discoveries resulted from her longtime research.D．Gender inequality still exists in the field of science research.By examining tiny vessels (血管) inside a person’s eyes, doctors might one day be able to predict that person’s risk of early death, according to a new study.Past research had shown the retina (视网膜), light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye, as a possible indicator of a person’s bjological age. The retina offers a unique, accessible “window” to evaluate underlying pathological (病理的) processes of some serious diseases that are associated with increased risks of death. In the new study, the researchers turned to a deep-learning technique that could predict a person’s risk of death by analyzing the biological age of the retina.Their deep-learning model, a type of machine learning and artificial intelligence that’s modeled to learn similar to a human brain, analyzed more than 80.000 images of fundus (眼底) - the internal back surface of the eye that includes the retina. They obtained the images from nearly 47.000 people between the ages of 40 and 69, stored in the UK. Biobank. TO figure out whether their model was accurate, they first analyzed more than 19,000 fundus images taken from more than 1,100 participants who were in relatively good health. The idea was that the retinal biological ages of these people should be fairly similar to their chronological age (实际年龄) .The model was fairly accurate in predicting retinal ages, with an accuracy of within 3.5 years to chronological ages. They then used the model to assess the remaining nearly 36,000 participants’ fundus photos collected across a span of 11 years. They found that 51 percent ofthe participants had a “retinal age gap” - the difference between biological and chronological age - of more than 3 years, 28 percent had a gap of more than 5 years and 4.5 percent had a gap of more than 10 years. In other words, these participants had “older” eyes compared to their chronological age.Those who had larger age gaps had a 49-67 percent higher risk of death from causes other than cardiovascular disease or cancer. With every one year increase in the age gap, the risk of death increased by 2 percent for any cause and 3 percent for causes other than cardiovascular disease and cancer.8．What can we know about the retina?A．It causes serious diseases.B．It indicates the risk of death.C．It speeds pathological processes.D．It improves people’s physical health.9．How do researchers know the retinal age?A．By examining the nerve tissue.B．By studying the human brain,C．By checking the eyesight.D．By analyzing fundus images.10．What percentage of the participants had the largest retinal age gap?A．3.5%.B．4.5%.C．28%.D．51% 11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．A new study is conducted on tiny vesselsB．Image technology is used to predict diseasesC．Eyes may reveal a person’s biological ageD．A deep-leaning on the retina is necessary二、七选五No matter what your goals are in life, there is one great law that you need to obey in order to be successful: No one else is going to climb the ladder (梯子) of success for you.choices you make.If you want a better life, you need to make better decisions. 13 However, it doesn’t change anything. Only you can change your life by changing the choices you make. Take responsibility for everything in your life. Even if it’s not in your direct control, you can always choose how you respond.14 If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. That’s because every great victory requires great sacrifice. If success was easy, everybody would be success.There is nothing that you can’t achieve with hard work. People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical event in the future. 15 Your life changes only to the extent that you change. Nothing will ever change if you don’t change what you do daily.A great way to actively create your future is to ask yourself: If I already achieved my goals, how would I act on a daily basis? What books would I read, how often would I work out, and how would I spend my time at the office? 16A．But that is not the case.B．No one else is responsible for your life.C．Now these questions seem like magic to you.D．Nothing else can be the drive for your success.E．Once you answer these questions, you know what to do.F．The biggest enemy to success is the path of least resistance.G．You can blame other people for your lack of happiness all life long.三、完形填空It happened on a rainy Saturday morning last month.

No one would like it.”At home in New Jersey, US, Coreen Burke,16, clicked on the same image on the internet. She saw a village with its rooftops and walls painted in reds and yellows, a distant chimney(烟囱) giving off smoke. “Isn’t this amazingly different from my country?” She thought to herself.Burke, a teenager with a skill for computers, saw beauty in that photo. She posted it to her blog, Outside My Window, which features a daily snapshot(快照) of someone’s window view around the world.The concept is simple: We can all relate to the act of staring through a piece of glass, onto the scene on the other side. “Maybe if we understood the way people from all over the world live,” she explained, “we would all get along better than we have been lately.”With a click of a mouse, you can see Frederic’s window in the south of France, looking out on sailboats anchored (抛锚) in a peaceful harbor. Or Virginia’s view in Canada, a winter scene with trees laced in white.Like most high school students, Burke has traveled the world. But she says someday she hopes to collect stamps in her passport, starting with Greece and India. Her recent break was devoted to launching the site with a blogger account and recruiting(招募) contributors from deviant ART, an online art community. She posted the first window view from Switzerland, a sunset photographed by an 18-year-old. Then others came flowing in by email, up to seven a day, from as far as Kazakhstan and Indonesia. Contributors are marked on maps pinned on her bedroom wall: a blue dot indicates their country and a pink dot shows their city, if they provide it. The most responses have come from Europe – Estonia, Poland, Italy, Germany and Sweden, to name a few. She is crossing her fingers, thinking th at she’ll receive a photo from Africa or Antarctica, which are unrepresented so far.While she’s become a cyber crusader(网络革新者) for appreciating the beauty outside our own windows, get this: She has no windows in her bedroom. She has a nice skylight（天窗）, though.66. What does Burke think of the picture she received from Andreea?A. BoringB. CharmingC. StrangeD. Plain67. Outside My Window is a blog intended to show_______.A. the view from Burke’s windowB. pictures of rural New JerseyC. photos of window views taken by people all over the worldD. beautiful scenes of famous places of interest68. We can conclude from the article that Burke _______.A. believes we should reach out to people of different culturesB. has traveled around the world and taken many picturesC. is a member of an online art communityD. has made a lot of money by selling beautiful pictures69.

What are you, a baby?W: I always sleep after lunch. It’s good for me!M: Don’t you get enough sleep at night?W: I do, but a short sleep at noon is different.

Actually, Americans make so many grammar mistakes that often certain phrases become accepted and considered correct, even though they’re incorrect. Here are some common phrases that reall y have no grammar at all.The first one is “Long time no see”. Maybe it is one of the first expressions you learn in English, yet it makes no sense grammatically. Many people believe the origin of this phrase is from Chinese, but native speakers are happy to say this to friends and family.The second one is “No can do”. This one also starts from Chinese, but quickly became accepted into native speakers. It means I can’t do it. It’s a fun way to say that something won’t work or you can’t do something. Just b e careful as this one is quite informal, so it’s best to put “sorry” in front of it.The third one is “So far, so good”. As you can see, there is no verb in this expression, so it’s not grammatical at all, but it’s accepted quickly because it’s a direct w ay to say so far, everything is okay.第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）21．C 22．B 23．D【导语】这是一篇应用文。

The Mississippi teacher said she’s lost about 150 pounds since 2008, and has fulfilled a longtime dream — to run and finish the New York City(NYC) Marathon. “It was a dream that came true. I’ve been wanting to do it for 12 years,” Barnes said. Barnes has come a long way over the past decade. At one point, she weighed nearly 300 pounds. “I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again,” she said.Running has been an essential part for Barnes. She has so far run many half marathons and four full marathons. “I can say my life is definitely better, not only for getting mentally and physically healthy but for meeting incredible people along,” Barnes said of her experience with running.Although it wasn’t her first marathon, Barnes said the NYC Marathon was still a challenging run. At mile 18, she said she started having “sharp back spasms (痉挛)”, but despite it all, she would not exchange the experience for anything. “The goal might not be exactly what you want, but you will persevere through it and try your best to reach the end goal.” In the end, Barnes completed the NYC Marathon with a final time of 6 hours, 58 minutes and 53 seconds.“I credit everyone for my achievements. The crowds are simply amazing. And I’m also inspired by the people I’ve encountered. Believe in yourself that you can do it, and start with small achievable and measurable goals. Find something you like to do and something that inspires and motivates you,” she said.Today, Barnes runs about five days a week and does both strength and cross training. She plans on running again soon, setting her sights on a half marathon in Arizona next February and running in all 50 states with her husband. She and her husband also hope to run the NYCMarathon together next year.4．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A．Barnes managed to lose weight via surgery.B．Barnes has overcome setbacks in her life.C．Barnes has fulfilled her long-standing wish.D．Barnes has suffered a lot over the last 15 years.5．What does Barnes try to convey in the second paragraph?A．She benefits a lot from running.B．She has been mentally cured.C．She has run a lot of marathons in her life.D．She wants to make friends through running. 6．What do we know about Barnes’ participation in the NYC Marathon?A．She highly treasured the experience.B．She finished it with the best record.C．She completed it without difficulty.D．She considered it the most challenging. 7．Which of the following can best describe Barnes?A．Demanding but patient.B．Stubborn but friendly.C．Warm-hearted and optimistic.D．Strong-willed and ambitious.New glove can translate sign language instantly through an app, researchers sayCalifornia researchers developed a glove embedded with electronic sensors that can translate American Sign Language (ASL) into English in real time through an app on your smartphone.Unlike its past counterparts, the new glove is lightweight, inexpensive and long-lasting. The device could help remove communication barriers between signers and non-signers. Hopefully, this may open up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with non-signers without needing someone else to translate for them.The team worked with four people who are deaf and use ASL and had them repeat gestures up to 15 times while wearing the glove-like device, simultaneously teaching a machine how to recognize them.The glove has thin, stretchable sensors made from “electrically conducting yarns” that run up each finger and convert the movements into signals. These signals are sent to a “dollar-coin-sized” circuit board placed on the person’s wrist, which then wirelessly transfersthem over to a smartphone.The system was able to recognize 660 hand motions and finger placements that stand for each letter in the English alphabet, different phrases and each number. The algorithm (计算程序) recognized the correct signs about 99% of the time, and in less than one second — or about a tone word per second.The researchers also placed sensors in between the participants eyebrows and on the sides of their mouths to “capture facial expressions that are a part of ASL”. The same exact hand-shape and movement can totally change meaning because of the facial expression that is used to accompany it. Take the word MUCH. The degree of how much can totally be determined by the facial expression alone while the sign stays the same.Researchers said the glove would need to learn more vocabulary and be able to translate signs faster in order to get a commercial version of it in stores.8．Who is the new glove intended for?A．Translators.B．Deaf people.C．English learners.D．Sign language users.9．What does Paragraph 4 mainly say about the new glove?A．Its reliability.B．Its components.C．Its working principle.D．Its broad applications.10．How do researchers improve the glove’s correctness of recognition?A．By connecting it to smartphones.B．By catching information from more angles.C．By lengthening the time of catching gestures.D．By inputting more letters and words in English.11．What will researchers do with the glove in the future?A．Bring it to market.B．Update its outlook.C．Extend its service life.D．Improve its performance.Chinese food is well received by the world. Who doesn’t long for a favorite Chinese dish? But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East — the ancient customof “tonic (滋补) food”.Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one’s well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil (麻油) hot pot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach, are seen as “hot”, while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes, are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual’s health.The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as wolfberry (枸杞), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of fish soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.12．What is the present situation of tonic food?A．It is catching less attention.B．It is enjoyed by many young people.C．It is well-known worldwide.D．It is becoming increasingly popular. 13．What is believed to benefit new mothers?A．Chinese cabbage.B．Fruit tea.C．Fish soup.D．Sesame oil hot pot.14．Which of the following best explains “catering” underlined in Paragraph 3?A．Medicine.B．Restaurant.C．Manufacture.D．Agriculture.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．The Charm of Chinese CuisineB．The Popularity of Tonic FoodC．An Introduction of Chinese Tonic FoodD．Differences Between Hot Food and Cold FoodCleaning your room can feel like a challenging task, but it’s likely a quicker and easier process than you imagine! Sometimes all it takes is a simple plan and a little motivation. 16 Read on to learn how to stay motivated to clean your room.Play music to get in the right mindset.

Checklists are a great way to give yourself a sense of achievement and progress when cleaning up a big mess.

Since 1980, obesity rates(肥胖率)in children and adults have doubled in 73 countries, making people more worried. And rates are increasing in many other countries. Obesity is increasing faster in children than adults in many nations, including Algeria, Turkey and Jordan, the report said. But the world's weight problem is growing in both rich and poor countries alike. Researchers say an increasing number of people are dying of related health problems in what they called a "disturbing global public health problem."Researchers studied health information from 1980 through 2015. They examined obesity rates, average weight gain in 195 countries. They found that obesity rates are three times greater among youth and young adults in countries like China, Brazil and India. Almost 108 million children and more than 600 million adults were found to be overweight. Egypt had the highest number of overweight adults in 2015. Vietnam had the least. In the same year, the United States had the highest number of overweight children, and Bangladesh had the least.Yet hunger remains a problem in many areas. The United Nations said that almost 800 million people, including 300 million children, go to bed hungry each night. Experts said poor diets and lack of physical activity are mainly to blame for the rising numbers of overweight people.Growing populations have led to rising obesity rates in poor countries. Often, poor people will eat processed(加工的) foods instead of choosing a diet rich in vegetables.The London-based Overseas Development Institute studied the price of food in five countries: Britain, Brazil, China, Mexico and South Korea. It found that the cost of processed foods like ice creamand hamburgers has fallen since 1990. But the cost of fresh fruits and vegetables has gone up.4. What do we know about obesity in the world?A.

Nearly One Third of People in the World Are Overweight.CBabies who frequently communicate with their caregivers using eye contact and vocalisations(发声)at the age of one are more likely to develop greater languages skills by the time they reachtwo,according to new research.In the study, researchers looked at 11-and 12-month-od babies' vocalisations. gestures and gaze behaviours ,and at how their caregivers responded to them.To measure he interactions ,the researchers videoed infants(婴儿)and caregiver at home,and asked them to play as usual.They took those recordings back to the universityThe scientists then used statistical models to find that the best predictor of vocabulary at 24 months was when infants were seen to use vocalsatioms while looking at their caregiver's face when they were about a year old.The benefits were even greater when these interactions were followed by responses from the caregiver.The statistics showed that at 19 months,children had an average of about 100 words.Those who exhibited the beneficial interactive behaviour earlier in life were seen to have an average of about 30 extra words."The message of this paper is thatitis the result of a joint effort; noticing what your child is attending to and talking to them about it will support their language development." said McGillion, a co-author of the work."The joy of this message is that that can happen in any context... across any part of your day.It's not something that requires special equipment or even lots of time.I can happen when you're doing the laundry,for example—when you're taking out the socks, you can talk about socks...in the park, in the car, at mealtimes,at bathtimes.This finding can be used in any context,"added McGillion."This is a developmental snapshot in the first year of life, but children are constantly growing and changingand so are their behaviours. It would be interesting to look at these sorts of behaviours again as children progress through the second year of life to see what's happening there,"said Donnellan,the lead author on the study.8.

She appeared on British television station ITV to further explain her decision, saying she had started noticing the pajama trend had been picked up by “30 or 40” parents at school.Despite her determination to make school a nicer place to be, Chisholm admits that she can't demand that parents dress up-such as Karen Routh, 49, who wore pajamas to drop off her 8-ycar-old daughter Holly, because she was running late and didn't feel well.“I imagine there might be some people who keep up wearing pajamas for the next six months to prove a point,” Chisholm said. “I can't force people to get dressed but I will keep sending letters home in the hope that they decide to put on a pair of jeans.”Wearing pajamas in public has also become a hot issue for some schools and States in theU.S.In 2015, aFloridaschool board member insisted on a dress rule for parents who showed up in the school in sleepwear.12. The headmaster asks parents to pay attention to ______.A. the way they dressB. the relations with teachersC. the way they treat their kidsD. the clothes they buy for their kids13.

Why did Kate Chisholm appear on ITV?A. She wanted to force Karen to dress properly.B. Parents spent less time on their clothes.C. She wanted to explain her decision about the parents' dress.D. She wanted to tell us more and more parents wear pajamas to school.15.
