河北省承德市2023-2024学年高二上学期开学英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解With the return of tourists, some of the world’s most popular tourist destinations are flat-out, telling tourists to stay away in 2023.Lanzarote, SpainLanzarote has long been a top getaway choice for the British, making up around half of the island’s overseas visitors. However, the days of budget drinking until dawn is over, as the Spanish President wants to attract “higher quality” visitors to spend more and drink less. The island declared itself a tourist-packed area early in 2023.Barcelona, SpainBarcelona has it all: modem art, a massive beach, all-night parties, and the food, culture and sunshine you want from a European city break. It’s also full of tourists. In 2022, the city took steps to limit the size of tour groups and introduce noise restrictions. The city will further limit numbers to ensure better life quality for locals.Santorini, GreeceThe Greek island attracts two million visitors annually, a significant number considering the island’s year-round population of around 10,000. While tourism is a large part of the economy, the island started restrictions in 2019, when passengers were limited to 8,000 per day and tourists weighing over 100kg were banned from riding donkeys.Amalfi Coast, ItalyIn 2022, Amalfi Coast took number plate system for visitors. Cars with odd (奇数的) number plates were allowed access to the coast on one day, while cars ending in an even number were permitted to enter on the next. Local residents and public transport were exception. The coast also featured on Fodor’s list of places to avoid visiting in 2023 for its over-tourism.1．Which destination do British people like to go most?A．Lanzarote in Spain.B．Barcelona in Spain.C．Santorini in Greece.D．Amalfi Coast in Italy.2．Who will be banned from riding donkeys in Santorini?A．Local residents.B．Overweighted visitors.6．How did Marita feel when paid commercial modeling jobs started coming in?A．Relaxed.B．Unconfident.C．Surprised.D．Satisfied.7．What can we learn from Marita’s story?A．Practice makes perfect.B．Failure is the mother of success.C．Life is as beautiful as summer flowers.D．Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.Nostalgia (怀旧) has become increasingly common in the current rapid, unexpected changes. More and more Americans are turning back with longing to what feels like simpler, sweeter times. They collect cassette tapes, manual typewriters, even decades-old video games.Is it a mistake to miss the past? Some psychologists warn that too much devotion to the so-called good old days is an escape from reality; it suggests loneliness or that a person is having a difficult time dealing with the present. Psychologist Stephanie Coontz argues that nostalgia distracts us from addressing the problems of modern life and contributes to anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, etc.But new studies suggest that a small amount of nostalgia is not only harmless, but actually beneficial. They suggest it helps strengthen our sense of identity and makes us feel more positive and inspired. It is also a tool for self-discovery and memories are a psychological response when you want to take a break from negativity. Recalling (回忆) our childhood reminds us of “the times when we were accepted and loved unconditionally,” says Krystine Batcho, a psychologist. “That is such a powerful comfort, knowing that there was a time in life when we didn’t have to earn our love.” Nostalgia can turn even the most ordinary past into legends which warms the heart and the body. Let’s not forget that nostalgia has been a source of inspiration to countless American writers. Mark Twain recalled his boyhood, writing, “After all these years, I can picture that old time to myself now, just as it was then.”So go ahead, daydream a little about your best childhood friend, a long-gone family pet, etc. As Dr. Sedikides says, “Nostalgia is absolutely central to human experience.” But at the same time, keep these words of wisdom from the great inventor Charles Kettering in mind as well: “You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.”8．How is nostalgia viewed by the psychologists in Paragraph 2?A．It might leave a person in low spirits.B．It indicates loneliness experienced in the past.C．It always saves people from dull reality.D．It helps to solve the problems in the present life.9．What is discussed about nostalgia in Paragraph 3?A．Its reasons.B．Its benefits.C．Its side-effects.D．Its working principles.10．Why is Mark Twain mentioned in the text?A．To explain he had a strong sense of identity.B．To recall the good old days.C．To show his nostalgia for the past.D．To prove nostalgia can serve as an inspiration for works.11．What is the author’s attitude towards nostalgia?A．Appreciative.B．Doubtful.C．Objective.D．Unconcerned.Here’s what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” Researchers have discovered numerous connections between walking and producing ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking in contrast with sitting.The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You’ve probably heard the phrase “exercise your creativity”, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative mindset is triggered (触发) by physical movement, which is exactly why walking-with your dog, a friend, or alone-feeds creative thinking.But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey indicates that Americans spend 87 percent of their time indoors. Being inside, you’re more prone (倾向于) to stagnation, the opposite of energy. Without energy, you can’t wonder or create. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.Our brains work harder to process in different environments, so walking outside develops our ability to learn new ideas, to take in new sights, sounds, smells, and flavors.Shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing,” is a common form of relaxation and medicine in Japan. It was developed in 1982, and recent studies show that being in the forest and walking among the trees lowers your stress levels. But you don’t have to live near a forest to receive the psychological benefits. Research has shown that being in nature, and the disconnection from multimedia and technology, increased performance on a creative problem-solving task by a full 50 percent in a group of hikers.So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking? Engage more closely with your surroundings for the next four weeks. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, to notice the way people move, the way the sun reflects in a puddle. Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.12．What does the author stress in Paragraph 2?A．Physical activity contributes to mental production.B．People release their creativity in company.C．Walking dogs promotes creative thinking.D．Brain will develop with regular use.13．What contributes to people’s energy according to the National Human Activity Pattern Survey?A．The chance encounter.B．The comfort zone.C．A change of scene.D．A workout.14．What does the author suggest?A．Taking a walk in a forest.B．Improving the physical fitness.C．Connecting with the outside world.D．Getting rid of electronic devices. 15．Which of the following is the best title of the text?A．Relaxation is inseparable from creative inspirationB．Your brain was made for walkingC．Walk out of your comfort zoneD．Mind and body are closely related二、七选五Getting into the right focus for serious studying can be difficult. With roommates or三、完形填空四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、建议信46．假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Jim所在的学校要组织来中国进行主题夏令营活动，每个学生可以从以下三个主题营中选择一个参加：1)唐诗(Tang poems)学习夏令营；2)乒乓球训练营；3)剪纸(paper-cutting)学习夏令营。

Train travelers will surely agree that when the guard makes an announcement, whether it's the recorded message or the guard's message, few people listen to it, because it's often quite dull or hard to understand. This one was different. I noticed that other passengers appeared to be listening, too. Not only that,everyone was smiling!Why was so much attention being paid to this message? As best I can recall, the guard said something along these lines, “Good Morning Ladies, Gentlemen and Children, this is the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith to Central and you'll be pleased to know that we are right on time. And what a lovely morning it is in Sydney today. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and all's right with the world. I trust you have a great day wherever you're going. Thanks for catching my train this morning and I hope to see you again soon.”Quite a few people (obviously previous strangers) started talking to one another about the guard's excellent message and how good it had made everyone feel. I started thinking about this, and then I found the young guard and said “Were you the guard on the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith?” The guard seemed a bit stunned at first, replying, “Yes, yyyyes.” “Well, I really appreciate your announcement. Thank you for your extremely good message, which gave me and the other passengers such a good start to the day. Please keep doing it.” I said.There are two messages for me in what happened that day. Firstly, when people are happy in their work it shows in what they do and say. Secondly, the story attaches much importance to the benefits that accumulate from thankingpeople for something they've done, particularly when it's not expected. Can you imagine the conversation that guard wouldhave when he got home?21.Why do few train travelers listen to the announcements?A. The messages areunattractive.B. The guard's voice is not clear.C. They usually feelsleepy.D. They are absorbed in books.22. What does the underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 3mean?A. Patient.B. Cautious.C. Surprised.D. Excited.23. What might the guard talk about with his family when hegot home?A. The beautifulweather.B. The recorded message.C. The train fromPenrith.D. The unexpected appreciation.24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. An IntelligentGuard.B. A Boring Train Story.C. A Different TrainAnnouncement. D. ALovely Morning in Sydney.BRevolutionary TV EarsTV Ears has helped thousands of people with variousdegrees of hearing loss hear the television clearly withoutturning up the volume (音量) and now it's better and moreaffordable than ever!

This advertisement is made more believableby .A. usingrecommendationsB. offering reasons for this inventionC. providingstatisticsD. showing the results of experimentsCIn 1971, UN scholar Paolo Lugari started an eco-social experiment in Gaviotas, Colombia. Located in one of the most extreme climates, Gaviotas was described as a sustainable(可持续的), self-sufficient village in an area that Lugari called 'just a big, wet desert'.'They always put social experiments in the easiest places,' Lugari said.'We wanted the hardest place. We figuredif we could do it here, we could do it anywhere.''Lugari just thought that someday the world would become so crowded that humans would have to learn to live in the planet's least desirable areas,' wrote Alan Weisman, author of Gaviotas: A Village to Reinvent the World.Today, Gaviotas is an eco-village with about 200 people. They farm organically. They use wind and solar power. Since 2004, Gaviotas has been 100% fossil fuel independent. The residents also enjoy free housing, schooling, and community meals. Shockingly, there are no weapons, no police, no jail and no mayor. But though these elements would make any social experiment a success, perhaps the most remarkable accomplishment is the planting of 1.5 million pine trees and palm trees. The various results of this new tree growth have been incredible. The shade of the trees has inspired the return of many rainforest species that were once native to the region. Additionally, the residents of Gaviotas enjoy a sustainable source of income from the resin(松香) harvested from the trees.The United Nations named Gaviotas a model of sustainable development. The Colombia novelist and Noble Prize winner Grabriel Marquez called Lugari the 'inventor of the world'.A new study by a team of researchers has found that'nature's capacity to store carbon is steadily falling as the world's farmers expand croplands at the cost of the native ecosystem such as forests'.Considering this disturbing fact—and as the world population increases towards an estimated 9 billion by the year 2050 and global warming continues to increase theplanet's surface temperature—Gaviotas stands as one shining example of how things could be different.28.Before the year 1971,________.A.there was never any rain in GaviotasB.Gaviotas was one of the hardest places to live on the planetC. scientists did many social experiments inGaviotasD. Lugari often visited Gaviotas29. Gaviotas has developed into a sustainable, self-sufficient village thanks to________.A. the government's greatsupport B. people's organic farmingC.

The fourth paragraph is intended to tell us ________.A. the income of people inGaviotas B. the public security situation of GaviotasC. the rainforest species inGaviotas D. the living conditions of people in Gaviotas31. What is the passage mainly about?A. A village that reinvented theworld. B. A person whoplanted many trees.C. How a small village turned into a businesscenter. D. The importance of protectingthe environment.DThe extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare,Zimbabwe's capital city, is said to be the only one in theworld to use the same cooling and heating methods as the termite mound (白蚁堆).Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air conditioning and almost no heating. The building is the country's largest commercial and shopping complex（综合楼）but uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate's owners saved 3.5 million on a 36 million building because air conditioning didn't have to be equipped.The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glassroofed atrium (天井) open to the air. Fans take fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through vents (通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through fortyeight brick chimneys.During summer's cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.This is all possible only because Harare is 1,600 feetabove sea level, and has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings---days as warm as 31 °C commonly drop to 14°C at night. “You couldn't do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said.The engineering firm of Ove Arup & Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 °C and 25 °C, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is far fresher than in airconditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.32.Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?A. It was designed in a smallersize. B. No air conditioners were fixed in.C. Its heating system was lessadvanced. D. It used rather different building materials.33. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. Fresh air fromoutside.B. Heat in the building.C. A hollowspace.D. A baseboard vent.34. Why would a building like Eastgate not work efficientlyin New York?A. New York has less clear skies asHarare. B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air.C. New York covers a larger area thanHarare. D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.35. The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate's temperature control system .A. allows a wide range oftemperatures B. functions well for most of the yearC. can recycle up to 30% of theair D. worksbetter in hot seasons第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Tips for protecting your eyes during the winter We usually worry about staying warm during the winter months, and think less about protecting our eyes.____36____.

河北省承德市第一中学2020-2021学年高二上学期第三次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择When Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships. The Alcindor decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattan’s West Side.At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fames as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skilful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches (对方教练) used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a chewing gum, Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups (擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were aneasily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. “People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him, “But because you’re a basketball player. Don’t forget that.”1．Many schools offered Alcindor scholarships because ______.A．he was young B．he was hardworkingC．he was tall for his age D．he was skillful at playing basketball 2．Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach?A．Serious, popular and slow B．Tall, skillful and successful C．Kind, powerful and undefeated D．Well-known, strict and experienced3．Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up? A．Their teams refused to play against Power B．Their teams feared to see Alcindor C．Their teams would lose courage D．Their teams would lose interest 4．What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?A．How Donohue protect Alcindor from the press B．How Alcindor disliked meeting reporterC．Why the press followed Alcindor closely D．Why the public wanted Alcindor badlyIn 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?"H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities.” The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be u sed for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?5．The explorers in H. G. Wells' story were surprised to find that the “moonpeople”____________.A．knew so much about the earth B．understood their languageC．lived in so many underground cities D．were ahead of them in space technology 6．What does the underlined word “it” (paragraph 2) refer to?A．Discovering the moon’s inner space.B．Using the earth’s inner space. C．Meeting the “moon people” again.D．Traveling to outer space.7．What sort of underground systems are already here with us?A．Offices, shopping areas, power stations. B．Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas. C．Gardens, car parks, power stations. D．Tunnels, gardens, offices.8．What would be the best title for the text?A．Alice Cities –- cities of the future B．Space travel with H. G. Wells C．Enjoy living underground D．Building down, not up二、完形填空From the time each of my children started school, I packed their lunches. And in each lunch, I9 a note.
