AFor more than two decades, France is known as the world’s most popular tourist attraction, receiving 82 million foreign tourists every year. Here are some of the best places to visit in France.MarseilleMarseille is one of Europe’s oldest cities and France’s second largest city. Having a nice climate, Roman ruins, medieval (中世纪的) architecture and cultural scenes, Marseille is also a working city with several universities and industries. One of Marseille’s best natural attractions, the Calanques are a series of small rivers with astonishing blue water and splendid cliffs.LuberonDuring the summer months, many people like to experience charming villages in Luberon. This region in central Provence took off as a tourist attraction after Peter Mayle published his books about life in Provence. With its large quantities of forests, fields of lavender (薰衣草), farmers markets and colorfully painted houses, you’ll soon see why Luberon is such a tourist attraction.DordogneThere is just so much to see and do in Dordogne, beginning with picture-postcard villages and castles. The scenery is pretty amazing, too, with the Dordogne River running through it. Dordogne also has some of the best ancient cave art in France. The walls of Lascaux feature mainly animals, which are a must-see. ParisAttracting more than 45 million visitors every year, Paris is the world’s most popular tourist attraction. Paris, the capital city of France, is just like a little “France”. It is known for its romantic environment and commands in industries like business, entertainment, fashion, art and culture, In addition to the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris is also home to some of the world’s finest museums.1.

Luberon.BLetting her take the wheelMy daughter, Mia, is 16 and learning to drive. Many parents are freaked out (惊慌失措) about putting their easily distracted teenagers in charge of a fast-moving chunk (大块) of glass and steel. My wife refused to teach her, leaving the task to me.I’ve learned a few things. First, Mia didn’t know how to drive at all. She didn’t even know where to put the key. It was like watching a chimpanzee try to solve a puzzle. Worse, she couldn’t remember that D was for drive, and R meant reverse (倒车).Then came the road rules. Mia likes to sail past stop signs. I had to explain that “STOP means STOP”. Had she actually read the rule book? “Yes,” she said, but she forgot most of it. “It was so boring.”Although I had been driving her around for her whole life, she hadn’t learned anything.Despite these things, I’ve also learned that I enjoy teaching her. I think I’m pretty good at it. I am much calmer than I thought I would be.I also enjoy the one-on-one time we have together. We have some good conversations. So far, we have covered her friends’ hairstyles and how stressed she feels after school. I enjoyed communicating with her.One Sunday evening, we were driving down a narrow back street, deep in conversation, when I realized that the car was moving quite fast. “SLOW DOWN!” I yelled, yanking (猛拉) the hand brake (手刹).We stopped the car and sat in the dark for a minute. “You can’t go that fast,” I said. “You don’t know enough yet.” I put my hand on her head, “I don’t want anything to happen to you.”“Me neither.” she said.“Okay, cool,” I said. “Let’s go.”she started the car and we headed back home.4. What can we know from the first four paragraphs?A. Mia was worried about driving.B. Mia didn’t get along with her mother.C. Mia was a beginner at driving.D. Mia was naturally good at driving.5. The author enjoys teaching Mia mainly because _____.A. it helps him be calmer in daily lifeB. he gets to know more about herC. it is more hands-on teachingD. he can help plan her future6.

To describe what it’s like to have a teenage daughter.C. To prove teenagers can be easy to communicate with.D. To remind parents to value the time they spend with their kids.CNew law lets students sleep inWhen your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you probably wonder: Why on earth does school have to start so early?Fortunately, there is a new law to back you up―or better still, science.A law in California, passed on Oct 13, requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 8:00 am and that high schools start no earlier than 8:30 am. The law will go into effect by July 1, 2022.Starting school at 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change, but it could mean one more hour of sleep for students who used to start school at 7:30 or even earlier.“The effect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults,” Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanford University told The New York Times. He said that not having enough sleep can affect students’ mental health and increase the risk of getting fat and diabetes (糖尿病).In the short run, students’ school performances should improve almost immediately. Kyla Wahlstrom, a researcher at the University of Minnesota’s College of Education, found that students who have enough sleep are more alert (机敏的) in class and get better grades.Some might say that urging students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire state. But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter puberty (青春期), which makes it difficult for them to fall asleep before 11: 00 pm. So when school starts at 8: 00 or earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime.This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, “Generations of children will come to appreciate (感激) this historic day and our governor for taking bold action.8. When should public high schools start classes according to the California’s new law?A. No earlier than 7:30 am.B. No earlier than 8:00 am.C. No earlier than 8:30 am.D. No earlier than 9:00 am.9. What can we learn from Bhargava’s words?A. The amount of sleep people need changes with age.B. Lack of sleep affects adults more than children.C. Sleep problems are one of the leading causes of diabetes.D. Lack of sleep could lead to health problems.10. What do we know about teenagers’ sleep patterns?A. Less sleep is needed when they enter puberty.B. Ideally, they need eight hours of sleep a night.C. They may have difficulty falling asleep before 11:00 pm.D. They often wake up at midnight due to biological changes.11.Where does this passage probably come from?A. A textbook.B. An advertisement.C. A newspaper.D. A biography.D“Severe flooding in Venice that has left much of the Italian city under water is a direct result of climate change,” the mayor says. The highest water levels in the region in more than 50 years would leave a permanent mark, Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro tweeted. “Now the government must listen,” he added. “These are the effects of climate change. The cost will be high.”The waters in Venice peaked at 1.87m, according to the tide monitoring centre. Only once since official records began in 1923 has the tide been higher, reaching 1.94m in 1966. St Mark’s Square — one of the lowest parts of the city — was one of the worst hit areas. St Mark’s Basilica was flooded for the sixth time in 1,200 years,according to church records. Pierpaolo Campostrini, a member of St Mark’s council, said four of those floods had now occurred within the past 20 years.The mayor said the famous landmark had suffered grave damage. The crypt was completely flooded and there are fears of structural damage to the basilica’s columns. The city of Venice is made up of more than 100 islands inside a lagoon (濒海湖) off the north-east coast of Italy. Two people died on the island of Pellestrina, a thin strip of land that separates the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea. One of them was electrocuted (触电身亡) as he tried to start a pump in his home.Mr Brugnaro said the damage was huge and that he would declare a state of disaster, warning that a project to help prevent the Venetian lagoon suffering devastating floods must be finished soon. “The situation is dramatic. We ask the government to help us,” he said on Twitter, adding that schools would remain closed until the water level subsides. He also urged local businesses to share photos and video footage of the devastation, which he said would be useful when requesting financial help from the government.12. Why was St Mark’s Square one of the worst hit areas?A.Because it lied on the coast of the sea.B.Because it was in the low-lying area in Venice.C.Because the flood first flew through this place.D.Because it was a place where it rained most heavily.13. What does the underlined word“devastating ” mean?A. Slight.B. Urgent.C. Destructive.D. Unforgettable.14. What did Mr Brugnaro do to get the government’s support?A. He would declare a state of disaster.B. He would ask the schools to remain closed.C. He made a project to prevent the lagoon suffering floods.D. He called on local businesses to share information on social media.15. What can we learn from the passage?A. Two people died from drowning.B. It is the highest water level since being recorded.C. The flood has caused basilica’s columns being damaged.D. St Mark's Basilica has been flooded four times in the past 20 years.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。

The living environment of the polar bears is worsening so rapidly that they have to struggle for food to survive. Therefore, everyone in the world, like me, is greatly concerned about what the future holds for us human beings. Undoubtedly, it’s high time that all the countries, especially the developed ones, should shoulder the responsibilities to take more effective measures to save our planet, our animal neighbors and our coming generations.

That’s a woman’s job.W: Nurses, whether they are men or women, care for the sick, the elderly.

Of course, it’s not art in the state I find it. The process I go through from the raw materials to a finished piece is not complex at all. First, I take the collected rubbish to my studio and play around with different combinations to see if I can find some inspiration. I do this for a few days or a week before I have an idea about what I want to create.The pieces I create are mostly animal sculptures. A few times a year I get invited to display my favorite sculptures at exhibitions. I also create more practical, usable art. Some examples include vases made from glass bottles, lamps made from irons or blow dryers, and pencil boxes made from plastic containers. I take these items to the local market and sell them.。

By the way, how old are your daughters?W: They’re six and nine.M: Before you know it, they’ll be grown and you’ll have missed out on their childhood.

I’m also going to include some other stars and bodies in the Milky Way in my model, but the teacher didn’t say we had to, so…M: Good idea! Including some of those would set your project apart f rom the others, don’t you think? Just do it, and I believe your project would be out of this world.W: Sure. Thank you, Dad. I’ll give it a try.Text 9W: Hi, Neil. Good holiday?M: Lovely, thanks. You know I adore the beach instead of the mountains.W: Your kids must have loved it too?M: Ah, they didn’t go.

I never got to relax as a kid. My tiger mother had me up at 7 a.m. practicing the violin at weekends.W: We’ve decided to let little Bruno do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. I’m worried tiger parenting would make him stressed out.M: Well, Feifei, how to be a good parent is always a subject of debate. Tiger parenting is no exception. It all depends on your values, really.Text 10Hello, listeners. Welcome once again. I’m Rob. In this program, we are talking about what we can eat b efore going to bed. Traditional wisdom says that we shouldn’t eat before bed, but that’s not necessarily true. Some experts are now recommending that you go ahead and make a habit of having a healthy bedtime snack in order to keep your blood sugar levels steady and provide the energy necessary to keep burning fat all night long. Eating before bed can help you fall asleep as well. Feelings of hunger can be uncomfortable and can make it difficult for you to fall asleep. However, wrong foods before bed can be troublesome. Anyway, as long as you make a good choice, there’s a good reason to have a little bedtime snack.。

2019学年高二英语上学期期末考试试题一. 阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)A1.What number should you call to buy an automobile business?A. 3421577.B. 9497221.C. 6560232.D. 3328725.2.Whom should Dora call?A. Stein.B. Walter.C. Mr.Kent.D. Mrs.Meikle.3.What does Mrs.Meikle want to do?A. Run a farmB. Apply for a position.C. Employ a working partner.D. Show her talents in business.BFor centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body. The expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.A cold fish is not a fish.It is a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy.Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise---he was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be.4. When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “____”.A.I think he is a cold fishB.I give him the cold shoulderC.I think he is a cold-blooded manD.I’m likely to get cold feet5. If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _________.A. she is a cold fishB.she is out in the coldC.she is a cold-blooded killerD.she gets cold feet6. We can use the expression “__________” to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy.A. cold feetB.cold shoulderC.cold-heartedD.cold-blooded7. The topic of this passage is about _________.A.some expressions about friendshipB.how cold weather comes into beingC.some expressions connected with coldD.the relationship between cold and our bodyCZhang Chaofan, 24, was born without a left hand and forearm. Her father named her Chaofan, which means being extraordinary, as he hoped she would live a wonderful life despite (尽管) her disability.As a child, Zhang dreamed of having a pair of hands. After she entered primary school, Zhang realized she would never have a left hand. At that time, painting helped her win confidence in life. Zhang performed well academically in high school. At the same time, her love of painting didn’t become weak and she dreamed of settingup her own art school. Due to her hard work, she achieved high scores in the college entrance exam, and in 2011 she was accepted into School of Art and Communication of Beiji ng Technology and Business University. She won the school’s top scholarship every year.Zhang set up an art school in Changchun in 2015. In 2016, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League named Zhang one of the 20 young people who set an example to the young by being kind hearted.“Disabled people may have less chance in their jobs and more inconvenience in their lives than normal people. But that doesn’t mean we are unable to make good achievements. We must be brave, and we must believe in love and teamwork. Life will smile on us in return if we work hard,” Zhang said.8. Why did the father name his daughter Chaofan?A. Because he knew her great talent.B. Because he wished her a splendid life.C. Because he arranged her bright future.D. Because he understood her disability.9. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A. By telling a funny story.B. By offering suggestions.C. By following time order.D. By making comparisons.10. Which of the following can best describe Zhang Chaofan?A. Honest and strict.B. Understanding and ashamed.C. Proud and impatient.D. Warm-hearted and hard-working.11. What can be inferred from what Zhang said?A. Disabled people seldom work together.B. Disabled people should be taken good care of.C. Disabled people can make achivements by working hard.D. Disabled people may have more chance to get employed.DA new study has found that it may be possible to train people to be more intelligent, increasing the brainpower they had at birth.Until now,it has been widely assumed that the kind of mental ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant previous experience—what psychologists call fluid intelligence—is innate and cannot be taught(though people can raise their grades on tests of it by practicing).But in the new study,researchers describe a method for improving this skill,along with experiments to prove it works.The key, researchers found, was carefully structured training in working memory—the kind that allows memorization of a telephone number just long enough to dial it.This type of memory is closely related to fluid intelligence,so the researchers reasoned that improving it might lead to improvements in fluid intelligence.First they measured fluid intelligence of volunteers using standard tests.Then they trained each in a complicated memory task—the child’s card game,in which they had to recall a card they saw and heard.During the course, they needed to ignore irrelevant items, monitor ongoing performance,manage two tasks at the same time and connect related items to one another in space and time.The four groups experienced a half-hour of training daily for 8, 12, 17 and 19 days, respectively.To make sure they were not just improving their test-taking skills,the researchers compared them with control groups that took the tests without the training.The results, published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,were striking.Improvement in the trained groups was a lot greater.Moreover,the longer they trained, the higher their scores were.All performers,from the weakest to the strongest,showed significant improvement.“Our results show you can increase your intelligence with proper training.” said Dr Jaeggi, a co-author of the paper.“No one knows how long the gains will l ast after training stops,” he added, “and the experiment’s design did not allow theresearchers to determine whether more training would continue to produce further gains.”12. The researchers thought the key to improving the intelligence was ______________.A. memorizing telephone numbersB. improving working memoryC. training in concentrationD. recalling a card13. The following aspects of the training help increase intelligence EXCEPT___________.A. ignoring irrelevant itemsB. monitoring ongoing performanceC. managing two tasks at the same timeD. using previous experience14. When the experiment was conducted, the researchers______________.A. trained the four groups for the same period of timeB. only made comparisons between the four groupsC. compared the four groups with control groupsD. trained the four groups together15. By writing the article,the writer intends to ______________.A. inform the readers of a new studyB. call on people to be trained to increase intelligenceC. prove one’s born brainpower can be improvedD. tell people the improved intelligence will last forever第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)It is important to have good study habits. 16.___ Here are a few tips to help you in your studies.17.___ It’s OK to spend a little ext ra time studying right before a big test, but you don’t want to try to learn everything that night. Give yourself plenty of time to get things done. Figure out when you study best and then study at that time every day, which will make you energetic.Study the most difficult subjects first. Doing this allows you to devote all of that fresh power to the materials that give you the most trouble. 18.__ Don’t study in a room that is too hot or too cold, and make sure there is adequatelighting. Be aware of what things take your attention away the most and avoid them at all costs during study time. Don’t do homework in front of the TV.Don’t try to study if you are tired, depressed, angry, or feeling rushed. 19.____ Friends can be a great resource.

Of course, it’s not art in the state I find it. The process I go through from the raw materials to a finished piece is not complex at all. First, I take the collected rubbish to my studio and play around with different combinations to see if I can find some inspiration. I do this for a few days or a week before I have an idea about what I want to create.The pieces I create are mostly animal sculptures. A few times a year I get invited to display my favorite sculptures at exhibitions. I also create more practical, usable art. Some examples include vases made from glass bottles, lamps made from irons or blow dryers, and pencil boxes made from plastic containers. I take these items to the local market and sell them.。
