期中英语试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10 小题，共25.0 分）AIt was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle． As Christmas drew nearer， her desire for a bicycle seemed to die， or so we thought． We bought some lovely dolls ， and a dollhouse． Then ， much to our surprise，on December 23rd，she said that she "really wanted a bike more than anything else． "It was just too late ， with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last minute gifts ， to take the time to select the "right bike" for our little girl ． It was Christmas Eve around 9：00 pm． Almie and her six-year-old brother ， Dylan ， lay comfortably in their beds ． Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child ． "What if I make a little bicycle out of clay （黏土） and write a note that she could trade the clay model for a real bike？ " her dad asked． "This is an expensive item and she is ‘such a big girl ， ' it would be much better for her to pick it out ．" So he spent the next four hours painstakingly （悉心地）working with clay to make a tiny bike ．On Christmas morning ， we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note ． Finally ， she opened it and read the note aloud． "Does this mean that I trade this bike that Daddy made me for a real one ？ "Beaming ， I said， "Yes ．" Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied， "I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me ． I'd rather keep this than get a real bike．" At that moment ， we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!1.In the end， Almie's parents failed to buy her a new bicycle as a Christmas gift because______ ．A.her desire for a bicycle disappeared graduallyB.they thought dolls were more suitable for her than a bikeC.she preferred the bike made of clayD.her parents had no time to select a "right bike" for her2.What can be inferred from the last sentence of the text ？ ______A.The parents were happy and encouraged．B.The parents felt comfortable and relaxed ．C.The parents were moved and felt proud of the girl ．D.The parents felt disappointed and sorry for the girl ．3.What is the best title for the text ？ ______A. A Lovely Little Girl．B.A Great and Considerate Father ．C.A Clay Bike ．D.An Unforgettable Christmas Eve ．BApril showers bring May flowers ， as the saying goes． And with those flowers comes May Day， a holiday that most people have heard of but have no idea what it's for ．beginning of summer ． Ancient Celts（凯尔特人） called it Beltane ， which is still celebrated today． Over the centuries ， it gradually developed in Europe ， with maypole dances now connected with the holiday ．But May Day isn't all about skipping around with ribbons in the sunshine ． It has also been on the same day as International Workers' Day since the 1880s ． In fact ， May Day is equal to America's Labor Day for certain countries ．On May 1 ， 1886， hundreds of thousands of U ． S． industrial workers took part in a nationwide strike （停工） to demand an 8-hour workday．（ At the time ， it was common to work 10 to 16 hours a day， according to Industrial Workers of the World ．） The activities in Chicago lasted for several days ， and on May 3 ， a strike at McCormick Reaper Works ended in a brawl with police officers ． Several strikers were wounded or killed ．The next night ， the violence became even worse． When police came to break up a crowd of people gathered in Haymarket Square， a bomb went off in the policemen ． The bomb killed seven of them and wounded 60 more． Police then opened fire on the crowd ， killing several men and wounding 200 ．In honor of these events ， now known as the Haymarket Affair ， the International Socialist Conference declared May 1 as an international holiday for labor ． That's why the world sees not only celebrations of warmer weather on the first day of May ， but often marches for labor unions as well ．4.According to the text ， May Day ______ ．A.is celebrated as an international holiday only in EuropeB.is a holiday that many people don't know why it is celebratedC.was developed from celebrations of the beginning of springD.was known as Beltane in history but is not celebrated nowadays5. The underlined word "brawl" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______．A. accidentB. partyC. meetingD. fight6.What is the main idea of the text ？ ______A. The birth of May Day．C. The meetings of May Day．B.D.The importance of May Day ．The celebrations of May Day ．CIn one high school biology class ， almost four in every 10 low-income students would fail the course． But with some simple practices to reduce test anxiety （忧虑）， researchers cut that number in half ．Christopher Rozek is a psychologist at Stanford University ． He studies how stress and other things can affect learning ． Reducing test anxiety had raised test scores in several small studies． So Rozek and his team decided to test it on a larger scale． Rozek's group wanted to know if short stress-relief activities before an exam would affect a student's grade ． They tested 1，175 biology students at a large， public high school in Illinois ． At this school ， a little more than half of low-income students fail their biology finals ． Only 6 percent of high-income students fail ．They divide the students into four groups ．One group spent 10 minutes free-writing about their fears． This was designed to clear the kids' heads so that they could then focus on the exam． Another group read how the body responds to stress and how these can actually help with attention ． Then they answered reading comprehension questions ． Students in a third group did both of these reading and writing activities．A fourth group，called the active control group ， read a passage that told them to just ignore their worries ．Afterward ，the students all took their final test in biology ．A total of 205 low-income studentsdid one or both stress-relieving activities ． On average， these students scored higher on the exam than their classmates in the control group ． Indeed， 82 percent of them passed the class． Only 61 percent of the lower-income students in the control group passed ． It didn't seem to matter whether a student read or free-wrote about managing stress ， or both． All methods worked equally well at helping students pass their tests ．Nearly all the high-income kids passed the class whether they did the activities or not ． These students may be less nervous before exams． Or they may have already learned ways to deal with the stress， Rozek says．7. The control group in the study refers to the students who ______．A.did the free-writing about their fearsB.were not affected by their exam stressC.were controlled to be active in examsD.received no stress-relieving training8.We can learn from the study that ______ ．A.all the stress-relieving activities had a positive effect on the low-income studentsB.the high-income students performed as well as the low-income studentsC.all the low-income students who did stress-relieving activities passed the examD.Few low-income students who did not do stress-relieving activities passed the exam9. Why did the stress-relieving activities make no difference for the high-income students？______A.Because they were very rich ．B.Because they had possibly been trained．C.Because they were not nervous．D.Because they had studied the subject well ．10.What is the author's purpose in writing the text ？ ______A.To present the result of a research．B.To draw teachers' attention to exam stress．C.To introduce a psychologist at Stanford University ．D.To encourage students to do stress-relieving activities ．二、阅读七选五（本大题共 5 小题，共10.0 分）Many of us devote valuable time ， energy and money to planning our vacations ． We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us ． Research proves this feeling without a doubt ． (1) ．Yet ， although there are these benefits， many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK - but not great ． (2) A classic one for vacation planners is trying to make full use of the money by planning trips that have too many parts． Perhaps you're planning a trip to Europe ， seven cities in 10 days， and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list ． Sounds fine in theory （理论）， but travelling from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness - time to take in our new environment ， time to think about our travel experiences ． (3) Such as how to find a good flight deal ， how to get from A to B ， or which destinations to add to or remove from our journey ． These issues may seem important， but our psychological state of mind is far more important ．(4) Firstly ， choose your travel partners wisely ， because nothing contributes more greatly toa trip than the right partners ． Secondly， don't spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to keep positive ． (5) ．A ． Planning trips is helpful to us physically and mentally．B ． Thirdly ， means of transportation is another big headache．C． In order to change this ， some mistakes should be avoided．D ． Actually ， vacation happiness is based on the following top rules ．E． Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic（策略的）issues．F． Vacations help us perform better at work ， improve our sleep quality and fight against depression．G． Above all ， shop wisely ， for meaningful experiences provide more happiness than physical belongings ．11.

During her monthlong stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom – Alex – used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he’d be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the café, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secrcetary-General of the United Nations (UN).Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting.It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack and asked Emma to write her name and address inside. When he returned to California, he left the book behind in Montreal, and his friend Alex kept it. When Alex later moved to Jerusalcm, he took the book along. 【1】Alex lent Emma the book, Markings,__________.A．to show his friendliness to herB．to show his interest in readingC．to tell her about the importance of UND．to let her write her name and address inside【2】How did Emma feel the moment she opened the book?A．Pleased.B．Satisfied.C．Worried.D．Surprised.【3】We can learn from the text the Californian________.A．met Emma at a concertB．invited Emma to a concertC．introduced Emma to his friendD．left Emma his backpack【4】Who was supposed to be the first owner of the book?A．An official of the UN.B．A coffee shop owner.C．A friend of the author’s.D．Alex’s friend from California.2.Old Computers Make for Unhappy Workers --- SurveyLONDON (Reuters) ----- Dealing with the dissatisfaction of aging and unreliable office computers leads to workers' unhappiness and more sick leave, a survey showed on Wednesday.A survey carried out by of over 2,700 European office workers from the UK, France and Germany found that workplace dissatisfaction increased greatly with the age of the computer equipment."We do know that job satisfaction is falling in Britain and most advanced nations," said Stephen White, a researcher from the Work Foundation. "The actual reasons for this are the subject of very heated discussion. It's certainly one interesting theory that technology may be the cause of this in some way," White added.A quarter of these using outdated computers in Britain said they were "quite" or "very dissatisfied" with their everyday job compared to the percent of those who had enjoyed an advantage from up-to-date technology.The survey also said that among workers dealing with outdated equipment, there was a 35 percent greater probability they would take six or more days of sick leave per year compared with the average worker. In France, where more workers use old computers, the probability jumped to 55 percent.Results also showed that women in the three countries were more likely to be using outdated equipment. In the UK, where more workers have up-to-date computers than in the other countries surveyed, the number of women using old equipment doubled that of men.White pointed out that there were two sides to this problem, saying that continuously having to deal with new technology and equipment can also be a source of worry. "Old and faulty equipment is a major cause of office dissatisfaction. There is no question about it; but you also have to say that the frequent change of equipment is also, or could be, a main cause of dissatisfaction."【1】The underlined word "this" (paragraph 3) refers to ______.A．workplace dissatisfaction B．computer use in most jobsC．the aging off office computers D．the survey by care4@ free. net【2】How many office workers use old computers in Britain expressed their dissatisfaction?A．16%B．25%C． 35%D．55%【3】According to White, why were the women surveyed more likely to use old computers?A．Most office workers use old computers.B．They do some of their work with computers.C．Dealing with new equipment can cause anxiety.D．They are easier to be satisfied with new technology.【4】What is the subject of the news story?A．Poor working conditions in officesB．Research work of the Work FoundationC．Influence of technology in the workplace.D．Different attitudes to old computers.3.NOTICEDO NOT FISH FOR FOOD, FISHERMAN!FOR YOUR OWN HEALTHFISH FROM THESE WATERS SHOULD NOT BE EATENBECAUSE OF MERCURY (水银) POLLUTIONOffice of Land and Forests【1】Where would people see the notice?A．On a fish farm B．At a local officeC．In a fish market D．On the office walls【2】The notice tells people___________.A．not to fish from these watersB．not to put mercury into these watersC．not to cook the fish they catch hereD．not to go near these waters【3】The notice is given because ___________.A．the land and forest are polluted by mercuryB．it is right to catch fish from these watersC．people may be ill by eating the fish they catchD．these waters are full of dirty things【4】After the fisherman read the notice, they will feel____________.A．happy B．excited C．interested D．disappointed4.EAT YOUR VEGETABLES.Wash your hands.Always say "please"and"thank you".We are full of advice for our children,but when it comes to money,we often have little to say.As a result,our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners,but without any idea how to manage their money.Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives：Show them the future.If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000,invest(投资)it at 8% and add $100 every month,by the time she's 65,she would have $980,983!Be careful of credit(信用).Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history,but they must be used responsibly,which means paying off your debt in time.Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card,you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.Teach patience.Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash,give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week,he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.Provide incentive.Tell your children the importance of saving."For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend,you agree to add another dollar to the pot,"says Cathy Pareto,expert in money planning.Explain your values.Values and money are deeply intertwined(缠结在一起),says Eilleen Gallo,co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent.When your child demands that you buy something,explain why you really don't want to buy it."You might say, 'I'd rather save that money for your education,'"advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don't spend money,you have a chance to share your values.【1】The writer gives some basics to help ____ in a proper way.A．parents teach their children how to deal with moneyB．children follow their parents'instructionsC．children manage their moneyD．parents save their money【2】The underlined word"incentive"in paragraph 6 means ____.A．honor B．praise C．excitement D．encouragement【3】What leads the writer to write this article?A.Parents want to know how to educate their children.B.He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.C.He thinks money management the most important for children.D.Parents care little about their children's management of money.四、其他1.单词拼写（每题1分，共10分）【1】The nurse was busy c__________ the frightened child down.【2】She has an excellent c__________ of Russian, so she can talk with Russians freely.【3】It’s said that Chang’an Street is the longest and s__________ street in the world.【4】His mother finally p___________ him to give up smoking and he no longer smokes now.【5】My car was completely d_________ in an accident, and I have to buy a new one.【6】J_______ from the look on his face, the news must have been terrible.【7】Children from the countryside should have e______ education opportunities as those born in the city. 【8】There are two o_______ language in Canada: English and French.【9】Sorry, I did n’t r________ you.

She connected them in rows, and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of a desire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it. "The whole process of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of reminded me that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed," she said. "A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way."Caitlin's adviser, Julie Libarkin, a professor of earth and environmental science atMichiganStateUniversity, also encourages the acceptance of failure in her students. Libarkin believes it's important for students to get into habit of applying for things, and to get used to the feeling of rejection, so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comes their way. If a student doesn't get the grant or the spot in the academic journal, that's okay. They'll still have learned something in the process.As for Caitlin? Her rejections over the years have led to great things: Since her doctorate, she's won a scholarship to do further research on urban agriculture inGermany.Currently, she's a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As for what the future holds? "I'm prepared to receive a few more rejection letters along the way," she joked heartily, "Maybe I'll make a longer skirt."8. What can we learn about Caitlin Kirby's rejection letters?A. She received 17 rejections in total.B. 29 of her rejections were from journals.C. The rejections were connected into a fan.D. She made some rejection letters into a skirt.9. What is Julie Libarkin's attitude towards Caitlin's action?A. Favorable.B. Ambiguous.C. Skeptical.D. Opposed.10. Which of the following words can best describe Catlin?A. Creative and considerate.B. Caring and determined.C. Optimistic and humorous.D. Generous and intelligent.11. Which of the following may Caitlin agree with?A. Hard work pays off.B. Education is the entrance to success.C. Self-respect earns more respect.D. One needs to normalize failures.DThe shade of a single tree can provide welcome relief from the hot summer sun. But when that single tree is part of a small forest, it creates a considerable cooling effect. According to a study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, trees play a big role in keeping our cities cool.According to the study, the right amount of tree cover can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. And the effect is quite noticeable from neighborhood to neighborhood, even down to the scale of a single city block. “We knew that cities are warmer than the surrounding countryside, but we found that temperatures vary just as much within cities,” says Monica Turner, a professor in the department of Integrative Biology, Wisconsin-Madison University and a co-author of the study.With climate change making extreme heat events more common each summer, city planners are working on how to prepare. Heat waves drive up energy demands and costs and can have big human health impacts. One potentially powerful tool, the study's authors say, are organisms that have been around long before human civilizations could appreciate their leafy benefits. And those trees may be the secret to keeping the places we live livable.Essentially, says Turner, roads, sidewalks and buildings absorb heat from the sun during the day and slowly release that heat at night. Trees, on the other hand, not only shade those surfaces from the sun's rays, they also release water into the air through their leaves, a process that cools things down.To get the maximum benefit of this cooling service, the study found that tree cover must be more than 40 percent. In other words, an aerial picture of a single city block would need to be nearly half-way covered by a leafy green network of branches and leaves.12. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Temperatures in cities mainly depend on their green coverage.B. People living and working in cities must plant trees in summer.C. Cities are warmer than the countryside because they don't have trees.D. An area with more trees can be cooler than the other parts within a city.13. Which of the following problems is caused by extreme heat events?A. Severe damage of city facilities.B. Serious human health problems.C. Residents' growing demands for plants.D. Unnecessary waste of energy resources.14. Why are trees crucial to cities?A. They help shade and cool the cities.B. They make urban scenery beautiful.C. They build up city cooling systems.D. They essentially block and release heat.15. What can city planners conclude from the study?A. They should publish the study in a newspaper.B. They should educate citizens to protect forests.C. They should plant trees on roads and sidewalks.D. They should cover nearly half the city with trees.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Some regular events are held at the shop, such as readings, cultural events, social evenings and film nights.Atlantis BooksOia, Santorini, Greece. Atlantis Books is an independent bookshop on the island of Santorini, Greece. It was founded in 2004 by a group of friends from Cyprus, England, and the United States. Throughout the year it has hosted literary festivals, film screenings, book readings, and good old fashioned dance parties.Bart’s BooksOjai, California. U. S. A. “The World’s Greatest Outdoor Bookstore”, a bookstore founded by Richard Bartinsdale in 1964.

It was founded in 1990 in Milan, Italy, by Carla Sozzamil.The BookwormChina. A bookshop, library, bar, restaurant and event space, now with four divisions in three cities — Beijing, Suzhou and Chengdu.

The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.4. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.5. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.6. What do you think of Loeb?A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.7. What's the best title for the text?A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space TravelCWhether for a special holiday, as a way of showing gratitude or just a way of letting someone know you care, gift giving is a universal custom Though the purpose may be similar from place to place, traditions vary widely from one country to the next. A behavior that shows respect in one place might be consideredoffensivesomewhere else. Take a look at unique gifting traditions from around the world.Here in theUS, a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift idea for a wedding. However, in certain European countries likeGermany, people believe that a knife presented as a gift will cut off your friendship. There is a way to break it: Tie a coin to the knife or gift box. The receiver then returns the coin to you as a “payment”to remove the bad luck.There's a well-known Italian wedding tradition where the groom's (新郎) tie is cut into a number of tiny pieces. Wedding guests can then "buy” these tie pieces in exchange for cash. It's a fun way to give money to the new couple thatleaves guests with a wedding souvenir.As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture, behaviors such as touching, passing money, or giving gifts are to be done with the right hand. Different from some other cultures , an odd number (奇数) of thingsor currency represents good luck. For example, £11 should be given rather than £10.InZimbabwe, it is common to directly ask for a gift. When you receive a gift without asking for it, even if the giver's family is poor, it's the worst way to reject the offering. Also, expressing thanks with actions is better than giving thanks orally (口头地).These may include jumping up and down, dancing, or whistling.8. What does the underlined word “offensive“ in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Rude.B. Creative.C. Suitable.D. Caring.9. How do people prevent friendship breaking down when giving gifts like knives?A. The guests cut the groom's tie into pieces.B. The receiver returns the coin to the giver.C. The giver gives gifts with the right hand.D. The receiver expresses thanks by dancing.10. What can we learn about the gift giving inZimbabwe?A. It is not proper to ask for a gift directly.B. It's better to reject a gift from a poor family.C. One can express thanks by writing letters.D. Showing gratitude with actions is better than words.11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Wayof Showing GratitudeB. A Fun Behavior to Respect PeopleC. Various Gift Giving TraditionsD. A Special Custom of Gift GivingDClara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when a flight attendant asked an urgent(紧急的) question over the loudspeaker: “Does anyone on board know American Body Language?” She knew she needed to help.Clara, 15 at the time, pressed the call button. The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who’s blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn’t understand what he needed, according to PEOPLE magazine.Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help with her dyslexia (阅读障碍) and knew she’d be able to spell on the man’s palm(手掌) by finger. So she unbuckled her seat belt, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the aisle seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she wrote, “How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.“He didn’t need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk,” Clara said. So for the next hour, that was what they did. She talked about her family and her plans for the future (she wants to be a politician). Cook told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn’t see her, she “looked attentively at his face with such kindness”, a passenger reported.“Clara was amazing,” a flight attendant told Alaska Airlines in a blog interview. “You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such a warm-hearted girl.” Cook’s reaction: “Best trip I’veever had.”Looking for ways to offer help? Start with this random(随时的) act of kindness that can change someone’s life right now.12. The flight attendant asked an urgent question because ________.A. the passenger was traveling aloneB. the plane was in a dangerous situationC. the passenger asked for something suddenlyD. none of the flight attendants could communicate with the passenger13. Why did Clara talk about her plans for the future?A. Because the flight attendant asked her to do so.B. Because she needed topics to go on talking with Cook.C. Because Cook hoped to understand teenagers better.D. Because she wanted to show her dream for the future.14. Which of the following words can best describe Clara?A. Kind and caring.B. Warm-hearted and brave.C. careful and calm.D. opened-minded and confident.15. The passage is mainly written to ________.A. tell a touching story of an amazing girlB. show the great importance of American Body LanguageC. encourage readers to give a hand kindly and randomlyD. show how kind the flight attendant was to help Cook第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

2020-2021学年杭州市丁兰实验中学高三英语下学期期末试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AIn September, something terrible happened on the west coast ofTasmania,Australia. As many as 380 pilot whales became stranded(搁浅) in shallow water there and later died. This might have beenAustralia’s largest stranding event on record, the BBC reported.But this large amount of whale stranding is not uncommon. For centuries, it has happened all over the world and has puzzled scientists. Scientists say the cause is often unknown. But they have offered many different explanations.Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying attention to where they are going.Others think the stranding has something to do with Earth’s geomagnetic field (地磁场). They say that a geomagnetic compass in whales’ brains controls their position. Unusual changes in Earth’s magnetic field can affect the whales’ compasses and send them in the wrong direction.Another explanation suggests that stranding is caused by the close relationships that whales have. Pilot whales travel in large groups. One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water. “And if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave,” said Sheryl Gibney, a leading biologist fromNew Zealand. “Some will come in and try to help, they get trapped on the beach, then more will come.”The whales are trapped by mistake or out of sympathy(同情). Once they get stranded, they will likely die. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of theUS, less than 10 percent of all stranded whales survive.1. What do we know about the stranding inAustralia?A. It happened on theeast coast ofAustralia.B. It caused the death of over 300 pilot whales.C. It is commonly seen in September each year.D. It was the largest stranding event in the world.2. According to Gibney, the pilot whales are the animals that________.A. are kind to each otherB. are easy to lose directionC. are too huge to float in the seaD.are silly to follow the leading whale3. What is the story mainly about?A. How human activity has affected whales.B. What might cause whale strandings.C. How whales find their direction while traveling.D. What scientists are doing to save stranded whales.BResearchers say spicy tomatoes could soon be on the menu thanks to the rise of gene-editing technology.It's not the first time that experts have claimed techniques could develop fruit with unusual features: scientists have already been looking at changing the color1 of kiwi fruit and bettering the taste of strawberries.But researchers inBrazilandIrelandsay such methods could also offer practical advantages, with hot tomatoes offering a new way of harvesting the pungent chemicals found in peppers known as capsaicinoids, which make food taste “hot”.“Capsaicinoids are valuable. They are used as painkillers and there are some researches showing that they promote weight loss,” said Agustin Zsogon from a Brazilian university, a co-author of a new article arguing for the benefits of engineering hot tomatoes.Writing in the journal Trends in Plant Science, the researchers say peppers are difficult crops to grow and low productive. Worse still, it is tricky to keep the pungency of the fruits table. By contrast, tomato production is high and the plant is well-studied. “You could produce the capsaicinoids in a more cost-effective manner,” said Zsogon.Tomatoes and peppers developed from a common ancestor, but separated about 19 million years ago. “All these genes to produce capsaicinoids exist in the tomato, they are just not active,” said Zsogon. “Using gene-editing technology, it is likely to switch these genes back on in tomatoes, making the fruit more special”, he said.4. Why are the tomatoes made hot by the researchers?A. To test the gene-editing technologyB. To improve the amount of the tomatoesC. To explore ways to harvest more capsaicinoids.D. To make the tomatoes more delicious.5. For what purpose can capsaicinoids be used according to the text?A. To put on weight.B. To ease the pain.C. To improve sleep.D. To better the look.6. What is Zsogon's attitude to the gene-editing technology?A. Confident.B. Critical.C. Anxious.D. Doubtful.7. What's the main idea of the text?A. An introduction to gene-editing plants.B. Creating hot tomatoes by gene-editing.C. Problems with capsaicinoid production.D. The procedure of producing capsaicinoids.CCanadaIs Our NeighbourCanada and the United States are neighbours.They are on the same land.They share the same long boundary(国界).These two nations are similar in many ways.Canada buys many goods from the United States.Cars and clothes are two examples.The United States also buys goods from Canada.Much of the paper used in the United States comes from Canada.Some of the oilweuse comes from Canada,too.Americans travel toCanadaon holiday.And Canadians often visit the United States.It is easy for the people of one country to go to the other country.Canadians read about the United States in newspapers and magazines.Many Americans watch Canadian baseball and hockey (曲棍球)matches on Sundays.However,there are important differences between theUnited Statesand Canada.The United States has more people.Because the population is smaller,there are more open places in Canada.There is much unused land.This is another important difference.8.Canadabuys from theUnited States.A.oil and paperB.nothingC.many thingsD.everything9.In the first paragraph “we” means ________.A.CanadiansB.AmericansC.ChineseD.students10.The people in theUnited Stateslike Canadian ________.A.baseballB.basketballC.newspapersD.oil11.Which of the following statements is WRONG?A.Canada has less people than theUSA.B.Canada has not used all the land.C.Canada is connected withAmerica.D.Canadians don’t like hockey.DBy mid-century there will likely be 9 billion people on the planet, using ever more resources and leading ever more technologically complex lives. What will our cities be like? How much will artificialintelligence (AI) advance? Will global warming cause disastrous changes, or will we be able to engineer our way out of the climate change issues? Recently, the magazineBig Thinkasked top minds from a variety of fields to weigh in on what the future holds 40 years from now. The result is as follows.It's likely that by 2050 the majority of the people in the world will live in urban areas and will have a much higher average age than people today. Cities theorist Richard thinks urbanization will transform the education system of, making our economy less houses driven and removing the divisions between home and work.And rapidly advancing technology will continue ever more rapidly. Cities of the future won't look like “some sort of science-fiction fantasy”, but it's likely that technological advances and information overlays (VR and AR) will greatly change how we live. Self-driving cars will make the roads safer and provide faster transports. A larger version of driverless cars-driverless trucks — may make long-distance drivers out of date.Some long view predictions are completelydire. Environmentalist Bill says that if we don't make great progress in fighting global warming, it's likely we could see out-of- control rises in sea levels, huge crop shortfalls and wars over limited freshwater resources.In terms of how we will eat, green markets founder and “real food" supporter Nina believes that there will be more small milk processing plants and more regional food operations and we'll be healthier as a result.New York Timeswriter Mark thinks that people will eat fewer processed foods and eat foods grown closer to where they live. And more people will be aware of the ethical responsibility" to grow foods.12. What may happen by 2050 based on the magazineBig Think ?A. Education will be driven by economy.B.

I was the same way, just going with the flow. I played basketball in high school because I was good at it and because other people thought I should until I discovered my talent.I give up basketball and started doing speeches. It wasn’t a popular decision but my grandfather told me to do what made me happy. I fell in love with comedy and performing. And when I discovered the passion, I realized why I was born.I knew I had something to offer —I knew that not only am I powerful, but I can make a difference.I realized a long time ago that my dream is not to be famous or rich. My talent is to entertain. But it’s more than that. I have the chance to reach people, to brighten days, to bring laughter and positive energy into lives and inspire. And I am grateful forit.Acting putting myself out there and having doors closed on me time and time again has taught me a lot about myself. I have learned to trust what I have to offer the world over momentary doubt. I’ve learned to put my faith over my feelings. And I've grown a tough skin. More importantly, I have learned there is a long way towards our goals and that when we put our talents and passion to work, we determine our value.Like a lot of places across the country, there’s poverty, crime, violence and unemployment in Harvey. And growing up there, a lot of people have tragically low expectations for life. But I know that with the right opportunity and with help along the way, everyone can find their passion and go after it. My life is proof.4. What was the author born to do according to the text?A.

To encourage people to set a goal.7. What can be the best tile for the text?A. Success Lies in Hard Work.B. How to Achieve the Dream Is Important.C. The Two Important Days in Life.D. The Day I Realized What I Was Born to Do.CAs a rider, Anna Kiesenhofe’s Olympics victory might be a surprise. The winner of the road race at the Tokyo Olympics left the sport at the end of 2017 when she found herself out of contract (合同). She came into Tokyo without a professional team and left as an Olympic champion.The 30-year old began her cycling career in 2014 after running injuries that prevented her from continuing her pursuits of triathlon (铁人三项). She later joined a Catalan team and won the Spanish National Cup in 2016.The then-26 year old signedher first professional contract with Lotto Soudal Ladies for the following season. However, she ended her 2017 campaign in April and did not sign a contract for 2018, eventually taking a year off the bike. In 2019, Kiesenhofer came back to the sport as a rider, winning the Austrian national road race. Despite her results, Kiesenhofer sill had no professional contract while going into the Tokyo Olympics.Kiesenhofer was the first rider to attack in the Olympic road race, eventually forming a breakaway along with Carl Oberholzer, Omer Shapira, Vera Looser and Anna Plichta, which went on to reach a gap of 11 minutes. After Looser and Oberholzer were dropped, Kiesnhofer ataced her two remaining breakaway companions.After Shapira and Plichta were caught by the peloton (主车群), the rest of the riders seemed to believe that they were racing among themselves for Gold, not knowing that Remehofere was still in front. While it might be a misjudgment from the rest of the peloton that allowed Kiesenhofer to keep her lead of more than two minutes, other riders’ mistakes should not detract from the Austrian’s efforts.Off the bike the new Olympic Champion has a PhD in mathematics after studying at the Technical University of Vienne as well as at Cambridge University. She currently works at the University of Lausanne.8. Why did Anna give up triathlon?A. She got injured.B. She lost interest in it.C. She had to attend university.D. She never won a medal.9.

What were the riders of the peloton unaware of at the Tokyo Olympics?A. The road race was so difficult.B. Anna was a new rider.C. They had caught up with Anna.D. Anna took the lead of them.11. What is Anna’s present job?A. A cycling coach.B. A university teacher.C A professional rider. D. A college student.DA Bridge Linking Art and the AudienceAccording to a 2018 report, people aged between 16 and 24 make up about 15 percent of the population but only 10 percent of museum-goers. Similarly, people aged over35 go half as much as you would expect from their population size. We have reached the point of recognising the disconnection between art and the audience but haven’t yet determined how to bridge the gap. Two answers to tackling this challenge lie in telling a greater diversity of art histories and communicating these stories in more accessible ways.In 2018, a radio program called Art Matters was started with the aim of discussing art from a pop-culture viewpoint with topics that would engage younger and more diverse audience. It offers an accessible pathway to art history with conversations on different topics. Art history is about storytelling; art content shines when there is an effort to bring audience along for the discussion.More traditional institutions are paying attention. Recently theGettyMuseumissued a social-media challenge for people to recreate paintings using items they had at home. Users displayed incredible creativity, and the museum was flooded with submissions. This reaction proves that there is a potential desire for the audience to engage with art topics if the format is appealing. Since many people feelintimidatedand think that there’s a base level of understanding required to join the conversation, the Getty initiative serves as a reminder that there are many pathways to engaging with it.Another result of the Getty challenge was the exposure given to a diversity of artworks. The famous operasinger Peter Brathwaite, for example, made scores of attractive recreations highlighting centuries of black paintings. His efforts opposed the idea that there were not many historical paintings of black figures. It is extremely important that we do a better job of showing the complex and diverse stories that are represented in art.Social media have offered a platform for people who have not traditionally had a seat at the table. Anyone can recognise a gap in the field and address it. Accounts have gathered tens of thousands of followers. They are the proof that there is hunger to hear these art histories, and these themes work brilliantly for museum programming.But there is only so much that can be done without the museums and galleries changing meaningfully from within. We need to see a better balance of these stories represented in permanent collections. We also need a much wider diversity of people and interests represented on board. Ensuring that art-and writing and talking about art-is able to continue on the rising generation of storytellers, inside and outside of institutions, getting the funding and support they need to paint a brighter picture for the part.12. What challenge is the author trying to tackle?A. People doubt a great diversity of artworks.B. Fewer and fewer young people go to museums.C. Art appears too distant from common audience.D. Adult audience has a different understanding of art.13. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Tired.B. Worried.C. Annoyed.D. Surprised.14.

句子结构完整，所以需将hear变换成非谓语动词的形式，且根据句意，他不能让他的声音“被听见”，动词-ed形式表示被动或完成，本句中的heard做宾语补足语，故选C.2. These problems, ，will seriously affect the growth of teenagers and even the nation’s future.A.not if solved properlyB.if solved properlyC.not if properly solvedD.if not solved properly参考答案：D【考查方向】考查状语从句的省略用法。

句意：这些问题，如果不妥善处理的话，将严重影响青少年的成长，甚至影响国家的未来。

句子的主语是solve的动作承受者。

从句完整的形式为“if they are not solved properly”，因为主从句主语一致且从句中有be动词，可以把从句中的主语和be动词一起省略。

故选D。
