AIf you are crazy about paintings, you shouldn’t miss the following four famous masterpieces which have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas(帆布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy -de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.GuernicaGuernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. T he title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofaí in Madrid.21. Which of the following paintings was produced earliest?A. The Arnolfini PortraitB. The Starry Night.C. The Harvesters.D. Guernica.22. What do we know about the painting The Starry Night?A. It was painted on wood in oil.B. It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.C. It described the painter’s life in hospital.D. It was given away to the museum by a collector.23. Who created the painting describing the tragedy of war?A. Pieter Bruegel the Elder.B. Vincent van Gogh.C. Jan van Eyck.D. Pablo Picasso.BPangolins (穿山甲) are the most trafficked (非法交易) mammals in the world and are facing extinction. To draw attention to these scaly, anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a unique way to inspire action and conservation. Partnering with the non-profit organization Pangolin, Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach communities wherever the Internet is available, especially African communities, who live near the animal’s habit ats.Over two years, the documentary crew traveled to South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin, which has never been achieved before. Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan V ermeulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins, but grew to respect and appreciate the animals. Getting close to the creatures over two years was a crash course in these secretive cr eatures. Johan V ermeulen said, “One thing, however, that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specifi c type ant.”Pangolins are hunted illegally across Africa for their scales, which are used for traditional medicine, and their meat. In April 2019, Singaporean customs officials conducted two separate seizures of 24 tons of pangolin scales, which equals to the death of 69,000 pangolins.Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat, the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures.Filmed on location in South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic, and Gabon, this powerful documentary is the story of two men on a mission to get all four species of African pangolin on camera for the very first time.24. The purpose of the documentary is .A. to study the situation of pangolinsB. to collect fund to protect pangolinsC. to propose setting up pangolin reservesD. to raise awareness of pangolin protection25. What is the meaning of the under lined word “fussy” in paragraph 2?A. Showy.B. Picky. B. Messy. D. Heavy.26. What’s the documentary mainly about?A. The illegal trade of pangolins.B. The medical function of pangolin’s scales.C. The life of pangolins in their natural habitats.D. The efforts of Pangolin, Africa to save pangolins.27. Where is the text most likely from?A. A magazine.B. A diary.C. A novel.D. A brochureCThe killdeer, a small bird known for its high-pitched call, could lead to the cancellation of one of Canada’ biggest music festivals.The first hint of trouble for Ottawa’s Bluesfest, an outdoor festival that draws around 300,000 people each year, came last week after workers at the site found one of the birds. It had laid four eggs nearby, effectively claiming the main stage area as its nesting ground. “This is one of the most challenging problems we’ve been presented with, but we feel we can work through this,” said Mark Monahan, executive director of the festival.“Anything that changes the schedule has a major effect, so we’re taking it very seriously.” The discovery meant that government officials rushed to protect the nest and the eggs, hiring a security guard to watch over them 24 hours a day. Environmentalists were also brought in.“We don’t know when the eggs might hatch,” said Monahan. What is known is that the young killdeer will likely leave the nest soon after they are hatched, leading many to hope that the eggs hatch in the next day or so.The festival is now seeking permission from Environment Canada to relocate the nest some 50 meters away or take it to a wildlife center. Moving the nest would also ensure the b ird and its young would be protected during the festival’s 11-day run, said Monahan. It’s highly likely that the festival’s thousands of attend ees would cause huge problems for the bird and its eggs.Monahan was confident that the festival would go on as p lanned, however. “Most of the people we’re working with are looking for a positive solution,” Monahan said. “There is no one saying that the festival can’t go on.”As news of the dilemma spread, it left residents divided. Some supported the bird, saying that moving the nest might result in the eggs being abandoned. Others expressed annoyance that protecting the eggs of the small bird, which is widespread across North America, was risking an annual festival that contributes millions of dollars to the local economy.The killdeer’s tendency to build its nest in open fields or flat areas has caused issues in other areas of the US: earlier this year, construction on a health center in Wisconsin was temporarily stopped after a killdeer and its four eggs were discovered.28. Which is TRUE about Bluesfest?A. It is the first music festival in Canada.B. It is an important event for music lovers.C. It is a music festival held every two years.D. It is a challenging outdoor activity in Ottawa.29. What was especially challenging for Bluesfest this year?A. Pressure from the government.B. Disagreements with the public.C. The need to protect the bird’s eggs.D. The lack of experience in hosting the event.30. How did the festival plan to deal with the problem?A. Move the nest to another place.B. Ask government officials for help.C. Seek advice from environmentalists.D. Hire security guards to protect the eggs.31. What was Monahan’s attitude toward hosting the festival?A. Negative.B. Indifferent.C. Unsure.D. Positive.DMost people aren’t good at creative problem solving for two reasons: First, they are not trained in how to be creative. Second, t hey don’t understand group strength well enough to harness(驾驭) their power to maximize group creativity.A key element of creativity is applying existing knowledge to a new problem. The more people getting involved in solving it, the more knowledge there is to work on it. Unfortunately, research shows that the traditional brainstorming methods fail to achieve that goal. When groups get together to exchange ideas, they actually come up with fewer ideas overall than if they each had worked alone.To fix this problem, you should consider the two stages of group problem-solving: divergence(分散) and convergence(集中). Divergence happens when the group considers as many different potential solutions as possible. Convergence happens when the various proposed solutions are evaluated and reduced to a smaller set of candidate solutions to the current problem.The essential principle of group creativity is that individuals working alone diverge, whereas group members working together converge. In groups, once a member states a potential solution, it makes others think about the problem similarly. That is why groups working together diverge less than individuals working alone.Therefore, be aware of when to diverge and when to converge. For example, early in the problem-solving process, have group members work alone to write down statements describing the problem. Then get them back to discuss their descriptions. The group discussion will lead everyone to accept one or a small number of these statements to work on—this is healthy convergence.When starting to generate solutions, you again want divergence. Have people workalone to start. Then collect people’s initial ideas and send them around to others and allow the divergence to continue as everyone individually builds on the ideas of other members. Finally, let the group discuss the resulting ideas. This discussion will gradually lead the group to converge on a small number of candidate solutions.This simple method works effectively, because it respects what individuals and groups do best.32. We can infer that the traditional brainstorming methods ______.A. enable people to form more ideas togetherB. greatly encourage group creativityC. actually limit group creativityD. prevent people’s involvement in the probl ems33. According to Para. 4, when a member presents an idea, others tend to _____.A. think the other way roundB. follow his way of thinkingC. be more confident in their own ideasD. be less willing to share their own ideas34. What should group members first do early in the problem-solving process?A. Discuss the problem.B. Put down group statements together.C. Simplify the problem.D. Write down their individual descriptions.35. What is the best title for the text?A. A simple way to make group thinking more effectiveB. Difficulties in organizing group thinkingC. Differences between divergence and convergenceD. Advantages of group thinking over individual thinking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。

Instead，the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wrist—worn device which，tracks a person’s activity 24／7，would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement．However，the study，published in the journal Science of Learning on October 1，2019，discovered a surprising insight．There was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and his／her grade on the 11 quizzes，three midterms，and the final exam administered during the semester．Even more interesting，it was also not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test．Instead，it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most．The time students went to bed each night was similarly important．Those who went to bedin the early hours of the morning performed poorly，even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher—performing student：“When you go to bed matters，”Grossman says．“If you go to bed after 2，your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours．So，quantity isn’t everything．”8．What is the new finding about sleep?A．It is essential for a person’s health．B．Sleeping less may cause obesity．C．S1eeping too much is dangerous．D．Ample sleep leads to better grades．9．What does the underlined word“Fitbits”in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Wearable devices．B．Questionnaires．C．Fitness equipment．D．Smartphones．10．Which of the following best describes the final result of the new study?A．Doubtful. B．Predictable．C．Disappointing．D．Unexpected．11．What will benefit students’study according to Grossman?A．Sleeping for 5 hours each day．B．Heading to bed at 3 am every day. C．Getting enough sleep while learning．D．Going to bed early only before a test.DThe French Danone company is the latest to replace some plastic water bottles with aluminum(铝)cans．Competitors like Coca-Cola，PepsiCo and Nestle have also started selling water in aluminum cans．Replacing plastic water bottles that pollute the seas with recyclable aluminum cans should be an easy way to help the environment，right?Maybe not．Aluminum cans might result in less ocean waste，and the metal containers also are lighter than glass or plastic bottles，but they also come with their own cost to the environment. The production of an aluminum can is estimated to release two times as much carbon dioxide into the air as a plastic bottle．“That’s the dilemma you’re going to have to choose between，”said Ruben Griffioen，an official at beermaker Heineken．He said his company was trying to reduce the use of plastic bottles.Bruce Karas of Coca-Cola North America agreed．He said，“There’s a mix．There aresome things that are not that desirable，but if you have five good things and one that isn’t，we’ll all have to make decisions．”He added，“It’11 never be that clean．”Bottled water is a 19 billion industry．Although its use of cans is increasing，experts say cans are unlikely to completely replace plastic bottles．Aluminum is costlier than plastic so canned drinks mean higher prices for buyers．Another major consideration is user convenience—cans stay open while bottles can be reclosed．More importantly，there is one barrier to ending the use of plastic water bottles：There may not be enough cans to go a round．Beer and wine makers are now also increasingly using aluminum. 12．What's the advantage of aluminum cans?A．They are pollution-free．B．They are lighter.C．They are cost-effective．D．They are low-carbon．13．What is Karas’s attitude to replacing plastic bottles with aluminum cans? A．Supportive．B．Disapproving．C．Neutral．D．Indifferent．14．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．The wide application of aluminum cans．B．The promising future of aluminum cans．C．The major advantages of aluminum cans．D．The unavoidable limitations of aluminum cans．15．What is the best title for the text?A．Aluminum Cans or Plastic Bottles? B．A Blessing or a Misfortune?C．How to Deal with Plastic Bottles? D．Why Do We Choose Aluminum Cans?第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年大连市第二十三中学高三英语下学期期末试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABook reading is certainly one of the most absorbing habits. For young adults who love to read, finding some good books to read is very essential. Writing a book review can help you to improve your language and writing skills.The Book ThiefListed onThe New York Times Children’s Best Seller List for over 100 weeks, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is the story of a young girl in the Nazi camps set during World War II. So, if you love history and wish to learn how the life was during Adolf Hitler’s time, read this historic book.The Diary of Young GirlEven Anne Frank can not have imagined that her personal diary written during World War II would become such a popular book. It’s a must read that describes the situation of a family in the evils of wars through the eyes of a teenager.Animal FarmAnimal Farm is one of the most popular books by George Orwell. It is just a reflection of the Stalin and World War II period that has been so creatively presented in this book. It is an interesting example of how literature can be used to present conditions common in the society.Adventures of Huckleberry FinnMark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is one of the great American novels in history, and is certainly a great pick for young adults. Young Huck Finn and his mischief along with the color1 ful description of people around theMississippi Rivermake this novel a great book to read.1.Which book describes the author’s own experiences according to this passage?A.The Book ThiefB.The Diary of Young GirlC.Animal FarmD.Adventures of Huckleberry Finn2.What do the first three books have in common?A.All of them are about wars.B.All of them are about farms.C.All of them are intended for history lovers.D.All of them were written during World War II.3.The purpose of this passage is to _________.A.instruct youngsters how to improve skillsB.tell youngsters some wonderful reading habitsC.introduce several good books to youngstersD.give youngsters advice on writing a book reviewBLosing your ability to think and remember is pretty frightening. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After age 50, it’s quite common to have trouble remembering the namesof people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women’s Hospital inBoston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts become smaller, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don’t remember even seeing it, that’s far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences, he says, that’s “a red flag that something more serious may be involved”. Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrongBut even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion andmemory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain’s cognitive(认知的) reserve, Daffner says.“Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways, ” he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster4. Why does the author say that one needn’t be concerned about memory slips?A. Not all of them are related to one’s age.B. Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.C. They occur only among certain groups of people.D. They are quite common among fifty-year-old people.5. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriouslyA. Totally forgetting how to do one’s daily routines.B. Inability to recall details of one’s life experiencesC. Failure to remember the names of movies or actorsD. Occasionally confusing the addresses of one’s friends.6. What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?A. Check the brain’s cognitive reserve.B. Stop medications affecting memory.C. Turn to a professional for assistance.D. Exercise to improve their well-being7. What is Dr. Daffner’s advice forfight against memory loss?A. Having regular physical and mental checkups.B. Taking medicine that helps boost one’s brain.C. Engaging in known memory repair activities.D. Staying active both physically and mentallyCIn 1990, Hal Donaldson was 23 years old, fresh out of college and found himself in Calcutta, India, where he was asked to interview Mother Teresa.Donaldson says about the great woman famed for feeding the hungry, “She wasn't wearing shoes and her ankles were swollen. She sat down with me and was very polite.” After the interview, Mother Teresa asked him, “What are you doing to help the poor?” Donaldson admitted that he was young and wasn't focused on helping others. With a smile on her face, Mother Teresa said, “Everyone can do something.”Those words deeply struck Donaldson and forced him to face some hard truths about himself.Hal Donaldson grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. When he was 12 years old, his parents were hit by a drunk driver; his father died, and his mother was seriously injured. To make ends meet, they went on welfare.Donaldson says, “I had holes in my shoes and clothes. When you're teased at school for that, you just want to escape.”He managed to do just that. Donaldson got into college and turned his focus to making money for himself He says, “I was just trying to find my way out of insignificance. However, it's easy to overlook others along the way. I was the guy that would see a homeless person and cross the street, so I didn'thave to confront (面对) him. My focus was on climbing to the top instead of helping those trying to climb with me.”Donaldson returned home from India with a different thought. He traveled to eight cities in America and stayed on the streets and listened tostories of the homeless. “My heart broke,” he says. “I knew I could no longer just live for myself.”Inspired by Mother Teresa's words and the stories he'd heard across America. Donaldson loaded a pick-up truck with $300 worth of groceries and handed them out to anyone who needed help. In 1994, Donaldson created the nonprofit organization, Convoy for Hope, which works with communities across America and around the world. Their work focuses on feeding children, women's empowerment, helping farmers and disaster services.8. What did 23-year-old Hal Donaldson do in India?A. He attended an interview for a college.B. He fed the hungry with Mother Teresa.C. He interviewed Mother Teresa.D. He did something to help the poor.9. What can we learn about Hal Donaldson from paragraph 4?A. He was born with disability.B. He led a hard life as a child.C. He was well treated at school.D. He survived as a parentless boy.10. How does Hal Donaldson describe himself in college?A. Self-centered.B. Sympathetic.C. Popular.D. Casual.11. How did Hal Donaldson change after he returned home from India?A. He preferred traveling to volunteering.B. He suddenly fell in love with journalism.C. He turned his focus to living for himself.D. He gradually devoted himself to helping others.DWhen I was young, my mother didn't have the money to send me to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4：30 inthe morning.We needevery one of you to develop your talents and your skills so that you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you quit on school—you're not just quitting on yourself, but you're quitting on yourcountry. No one's written your destiny(命运)for you, because you write your own destiny. You make your own future.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time reading a book.But whatever you decide to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work.You're not a good athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practise.12.
