江苏省2022-2023学年高一下学期期末英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________一、阅读理解As any cat owner will tell you, talking to your cat is totally normal. And even though feline(猫) friends may seem distant to these adoring talks, a new study in Animal Cognition suggests they are really listening.Researchers in France exposed house cats to recordings of their owner or a stranger saying phrases in cat-or human-directed speech. Like baby talk, cat-directed speech is typically higher pitched with short, repetitive phrases. The team found that felines tended to react to their owner speaking in cat-directed speech—but not to their owner speaking in adult tones or to a stranger using either adult-or cat-directed speech.Previous research had shown similar findings in dogs, but much less is known when it comes to cats. “Some people still consider cats independent—you cannot have a real relationship with cats,” says lead study author Charlotte Mouzon, a cat behaviorist at the University of Paris Nanterre. Some people might be embarrassed about using special vocalizations for cats, she says, but this research shows “people shouldn’t be ashamed.”Mouzon and her team recorded 16 cat owners saying such as “Do you want to play?” or “Do you want a treat?” in cat-and human-directed speech. Then they filmed each cat before, during and after playing it a series of recordings of its owner and other owners’ speech. The researchers used software to rate the cats’ reactions from multiple dimensions, making the result more convincing.“Although cats have a reputation for ignoring their owners, a growing body of research indicates that cats pay close attention to humans,” says Kristyn Vitale, a cat behavior scientist at Unity College in Maine, who was not involved in the study. “Cats can learn that specific speech has certain meanings.” But she notes the study is too small and that future work is needed to expand the research to other cat populations.1．According to paragraph 2, what do house cats respond obviously to? A．The owner’s cat-directed tone. B．A stranger’s human-directed talks. C．A stranger’s cat-directed recordings. D．The owner’s human-directedspeech.2．What does the underlined word “vocalization” mean in paragraph 3? A．Strategies. B．Trainings. C．Sounds. D．Rhymes. 3．What makes Mouzon’s findings more reliable?A．Continuous filming of cats’ responses. B．Comprehensive analyses backed by software.C．Multi-dimensional evaluations of cats’ habits. D．Further reference to previous studies on dogs.4．What is the limitation of Mouzon’s research?A．Lack of sample types. B．Absence of owners’ support. C．Absence of scientific tools. D．Lack of experts’ involvement.As a youngster, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. I was used to tidy living rooms that seemed to whisper, “Not to be touched!”I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.“I, uh—I want to climb the stone walls,” I said. Everyone looked up. “Can I climb the stone walls?” Immediately voices of disagreement went up from the women in the room. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” I wasn’t too disappointed; the response was just as I’d expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”“Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For thenext two and a half hours I climbed those old walls—and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you.” the kids can count on hearing me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.”5．When the writer was small, he lived ________.A．in the city B．on the farmC．with his grandparents D．away from his parents6．The underlined word “approve” in paragraph two means ________. A．prove B．suppose C．allow D．mind7．We can learn from the passage that the writer was ________. A．adventurous B．funny C．smart D．talkative 8．What did the writer learn from his grandfather and his own experience on the farm?A．To do things for others. B．To do whatever he liked.C．To be proud of himself. D．To be himself.You’ve heard the predictions from some of the brightest minds about AI’s influence. Tesla and SpaceX’s chief Elon Musk worries that AI is far more dangerous than nuclear weapons. The late scientist Stephen Hawking warned that AI could serve as the “worst event in the history of our civilization” unless humanity is prepared for its possible risks.But many experts, even those who are aware of such risks, have a more positive attitude, especially in health-care and possibly in education. That is one of the results from a new AI study released Monday by the Pew Research Centre.Pew canvassed the opinions of 979 experts over the summer, a group thatincluded famous technologists, developers, innovators, business and policy leaders. The interviewed experts, some of whom chose to remain anonymous, were asked to join in the discussion of a serious and important question: “By 2030, do you think it is most likely that advancing AI and related technology systems will improve human capacities and control them?”Nearly two-thirds of experts predicted most of us will be mostly better off. But a third thought otherwise, and a majority of the experts expressed at least some concerns over the long-term impact of AI on the “essential elements of being human”. Among those concerns were data abuse, loss of jobs and loss of control brought by autonomous weapons and cybercrime. Above all, by taking data in and spitting answers out, those “black box” tools make decisions in digital systems. It is an erosion in our ability to think for ourselves.9．Why is Stephen Hawking mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To warn humans to give up AI as soon as possible.B．To remind readers that a new AI age has come into view.C．To prove great scientists care much about the future of AI.D．To introduce the main idea of the text that AI benefits the future. 10．What is true of Pew’s study?A．Most experts are certain that AI will be out of control.B．Pew asked experts from different fields for opinions.C．Pew concludes that humans will suffer from AI.D．33% of experts think AI will have little impact on humans.11．Why some experts concern about “black box” tools?A．Because they make decisions in digital systems.B．Because they can take data in and spit answers out.C．Because they may weaken our ability to think independently.D．Because they may decrease humans’ welfare in the long term.12．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Experts’ concern about AI. B．Humans’ being controlled by AI. C．Experts’ Expectation of AI. D．AI’s influence on society.二、七选五what you were saying? While you may think yourself to be a great speaker, itis not particularly hard to annoy your audience. Here are the top three of annoying habits in a presentation: reading the presentation (37%), having no knowledge of the subject matter (22%), using many “umms” and “uhhs” (16%).So here are some tips to help you avoid these annoying mistakes.The most annoying presentation habit is also one of the easiest to fall victim to. With a visual aid, you tend to look back and read what you have already written. 14 By reading your slides, you show no additional information, and therefore give your audience no reason to keep listening once they have finished reading the slide themselves.One guideline I find especially effective is to ensure each slide has no more than six main points, and no more than six words per point. 15 Whenin practice, having slides with flexible layouts and proper pictures is equally important.16 The more prepared you are, the better you can effectively avoid sounding like you’ve never even heard of your topic before. So in order to show your audience you know your stuff, getting ready will make all the difference.The third most annoying habit was using many “umms” and “uhhs”, a symptomof not communicating effectively. This could be a result of stage fright, but more often than not these interjections (感叹词) happen unconsciously.17One tip for avoiding this is to practice your presentation multiple times beforehand, out loud. The more you practice, the more likely you can catch yourself before letting the “umms” and “uhhs” slip out.A．Was it boring?B．Were people interested?C．It helps you to save your time.D．This stops you overloading your slides with information.E．Despite how innocent they seem, they can ruin your credibility.F．Avoiding another annoying habit comes down to one factor: preparation.G．However, all this shows is that you can do what your audience can as well.三、完形填空Charles Dickens. From Oliver Twist to A Tale of Two Cities, many of Dickens’works still sell well today and are placed on 19 shelves.As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. That question, however, was never more troubling to me than when I was giving a lecture one day, nearly ten years ago. I was telling the students that his writing created a “tune-in-next-week” type of 20 among readers. Then, a hand shot up. “But why should we still read this stuff?”the student asked. The answer I gave at that time was merely 21 . “Because he teaches you how to think,” I said.The question 22 me for years, and for years I told myself answers,but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he was not justa man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens becausehis 23 of the human psyche (心灵) is deep. We read Dickens because wecan learn from the experiences of his characters almost as 24 as we can learn from our own experiences.These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens. But these are not exactlythe reasons why I read Dickens.My search for an answer 25 but never with success, until one daya text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’ novels,”she wrote, “because the tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had 26 for years.Like most people, I knew who I was without 27 it. I was Oliver Twist, always asking for more. I was Nicholas Nickleby, 28 that my dead father was watching me from beyond the grave. I was Pip, in love with someonefar beyond my 29 . I was all of these 30 and I began to understand more about why I was who I was because Dickens had told me so much about human beings and human 31 .Dickens casts a light on who we are during the best of times and the worstof times. That’s why we still need to 32 him today.18．A．always B．never C．hardly D．often19．A．top B．dusty C．library D．outstanding 20．A．profits B．sales C．excitement D．opinions 21．A．acceptable B．unforgettable C．reliable D．available 22．A．surprised B．bothered C．frightened D．excited 23．A．destination B．function C．investigation D．organization 24．A．heavily B．easily C．hardly D．quickly 25．A．continued B．waited C．started D．repeated 26．A．sought B．proposed C．demanded D．found 27．A．noticing B．losing C．knowing D．explaining 28．A．hoping B．believing C．realizing D．worrying 29．A．control B．belief C．comprehension D．limit 30．A．instructors B．actors C．characters D．spirit 31．A．suffering B．rights C．impact D．nature 32．A．comment B．admire C．read D．respect四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

江苏省泰州中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Valerie L. Thomas is an African American scientist and inventor best known for her patented (专利的) illusion transmitter (幻觉发射器) and contributions to NASA research.Thomas was born in 1943 in Maryland. She was interested in science as a child. At the age of eight, her curiosity about how things worked inspired her to borrow a book called The Boy’s First Book of Radio and Electronics, which she took home hoping her father would help her take on some projects in it. However, he didn’t help her.She attended an all-girls high school that did not help her with hands on projects either. But this changed in college, when Thomas was admitted to Morgan State University as one of the only two women in her class to major in physics. Thomas excelled in her studies. She graduated with excellent results and accepted a position as a data analyst at NASA．In the 1970s, she managed the development of the image-processing systems for Landsat, the first satellite (人造卫星) to send images to the Earth from space. In 1980, Thomas received a patent for an illusion transmitter. The device produces optical illusion images by means of two concave mirrors (凹面镜). Unlike flat mirrors, which produce images that appear to be inside, or behind the mirror, concave mirrors create images that appear to be real, or in front of the mirror itself. This technology was later used by NASA and has since been adapted for use in surgery (外科手术) as well as the production of television and video screens.Thomas continued to work for NASA until her retirement in 1995. Over the course of her career, Thomas contributed widely to the study of space. She helped develop computer program designs that supported research on Halley’s Comet, the ozone layer, and satellite technology. For her achievements, Thomas received a number of NASA awards including the Goddard Space Flight Center Award of Merit and the NASA Equal Opportunity Medal. 1．What do we know about Thomas’ early life?A．She was talented in science.B．She liked working with her father.C．She lacked support for her interest.D．She preferred to read boys’ books.2．What does the underlined phrase “excelled in” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Did well in.B．Had confidence in.C．Was curious about.D．Was concerned with.3．What is the advantage of Thomas’ invention over flat mirrors?A．It takes pictures more clearly.B．It transmits images more quickly.C．It changes the position of the image.D．It can send images to the Earth from space.4．What does the last paragraph focus on?A．Thomas’ future plans.B．Thomas’ retirement life. C．Thomas’ research theory.D．Thomas’ lifetime achievements.A study of almost 2,700 children aged between seven and ten in 38 schools in Barceiona, Spain, first researches the impact of traffic noise on child cognitive (认知的) development over time.The children in the study are in a critical stage for the development of memory and attention skill, which are essential to learning. The research found that children exposed to about three times more traffic in the street than other children had memory development that was 23% slower and attention ability development 5% slower over a year.Noise is the second most damaging environmental factor to health, after air pollution, and, for example, was already known to increase heart attacks in adults. The UN said that urban noise pollution was growing into a global public health threat, leading to 12,000 early deaths a year in the EU alone and affecting many cities.But research on the impact of road noise on children was limited until now. “We do not know that noise can actually be toxic (有害的) from a physical point of view,” said Dr. Maria Foraster, from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, who led the study. “We think that we adapt to it, but research has shown that we don’t completely—we still have a physiological (生理的) response.The research revealed that peaks of noise heard inside the classroom, such as the passing of loud trucks, had more impact than a higher average level of noise. It also found higher noise levels at school were more damaging than at home.Prof. Iroise Dumontheil, at Birkbeck, University of London, UK, said, “This carefully designed study provides convincing evidence. Considering that many European children living in large cities are exposed to high road-traffic noise levels, this study has implications for public policy to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.”The research follows previous work that showed higher levels of aircraft noise at school affected reading comprehension and cognitive development. Next, the authors said, they would like to see their findings replicated (复制) in different cities and towns, where schools may bebuilt differently and windows opened more or less often.5．What can we learn from Maria Foraster’s words?A．We are troubled by nose.B．We lack confidence in her study.C．We try hard to adapt to noise.D．We aren’t fully aware of the harm of noise to humans.6．What is Iroise Dumontheil’s attitude towards the study?A．Curious.B．Favorable.C．Cautious D．Unsatisfied.7．What might the research team focus on next?A．Finding solutions to reducing noise.B．Helping students to realize the impact of noise.C．Confirming their findings in different areas.D．Studying the differences between various noises.8．What is the best title for the text?A．Policies on traffic noise should be improvedB．Traffic noise slows children’s memory developmentC．Traffic noise has a growing impact on people’s healthD．Attention should be paid to the environment around schoolsI’ve been giving lots of thought recently to the teaching of the science subject at schools. I’m wondering whether spending more time learning how we “do” science--the scientific method--is more valuable than simply making children memorize scientific “facts”.After all, science isn’t a collection of facts about the world. That’s just called“knowledge”. Rather, science is a process of thinking and making sense of the world, which will then lead to new knowledge. We’ve often heard it said that we should be teaching children not what to think but how to think. However, schools now spend so much of the science subject loading up children’s brains with “knowledge”.Surely, everyone needs a basic scientific understanding. We all need to know some science: facts about the world to help us make informed decisions about important issues that face us all in our everyday lives, from the risks of smoking to the benefits of exercising or why recycling our waste is good for the planet.Yet what seems to be missing today is an understanding of the way we gain this scientific understanding of the world. Nowadays, social media has played a significant role in spreading information. However, many people use it as a medium for spreading disinformation or harmful opinions. But social media has only enlarged the societal problem that has been with us.On top of this, our attention spans (时长) are naturally getting shorter, and we don’t take the time to question our views, or ask whether the information we are getting is reliable. This is where thinking scientifically can help. Adopting some of the ways that good science is practiced can help us to critically assess what we believe, question our own views before we attack views we don’t like, and so on. This is exactly why we should be teaching more of scientific methods in schools. This remarkable way of seeing, thinking and knowing, is one of humankind’s great riches and the birthright of everyone. And, most wonderfully, it only grows in quality and value the more widely it is shared.9．What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 1?A．Students’ disinterest in the science subject.B．The teaching content of the science subject.C．The teaching topics of the science subject.D．The lack of emphasis on science in schools.10．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．The application of science in daily lives.B．The approach to knowing scientific facts.C．Some scientific phenomena in daily lives.D．The understanding of science in daily lives.11．What does the underlined part “the societal problem” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The popularity of social media.B．The spread of false information.C．The misunderstanding of science.D．The negative impact of social media.12．What can students get from learning scientific methods?A．Growing interest in science.B．Improved attention in class.C．The ability to think critically.D．The deeper understanding of science.二、七选五Everything we think about, all the emotions we feel, and even the way we act is a product of self-worth. Here are some ways to boost your self-worth.Make a list of your talents or skills. Everyone has something good to offer. Humans possess and can learn mind-blowing (令人兴奋的) abilities. What can you offer?____14____ List all of these. When you identify your abilities, you suppress (抑制) your weaknesses and give voice to your strengths.Pardon yourself. ____15____ Learn from all your past mistakes. If you keep feeling guilty or ashamed, you will never have a healthy sense of self-worth.Take risks. The only reason you haven’t done something great for yourself is that you are still wondering whether you should do it.

2022-2023学年江苏省无锡市高一下学期6月期末英语试题1. Want to read a perfect children’s book? Explore some recommendations from trusted critics.My Brother Is Away (Sara Greenwood, illustrated by Luisa Uribe)It’s never easy to explain that a family member is kept in prison, and it can be especially hard for children. This touching book draws on the author’s own childhood to tell the story of a young girl whose brother is in prison. What does she say to her friends who have seen him on the news? And will he still love her? A gentle and hopeful story for kids about very adult situations and complex feelings. (For ages 5 to 8)Eyes that Kiss in the Corners (Joanna Ho, illustrated by Dung Ho)This book is brilliantly written because it focuses both on how the characters’ eyes look and on how they see. Focusing on a young girl who takes pride in her “eyes that kiss in the corner and glow like warm tea”, Joann a Ho’s lyrical intergenerational story combines with Dung Ho’s warm and often magical imagery to bring us a celebration on how we see the world-and how we see ourselves. (For ages 4 to 8)Rez Dogs (Joseph Bruchac)When COVID-19 hits, Malian is visiting her grandparent s. It is in Malian’s grandparents’ stories that she learns how the people of her native community have always taken care of one another. Written in poetry, this book shows us the pandemic through a child’s eyes and helps remind us that responsibility and caring for one another is something we all can do. (For ages 8 to 12)Listen to the Language of the Trees (Tera Kelly, illustrated by Marie Hermansson)If you know about the “Wood Wide Web”, you know that trees communicate through the fungi (真菌) that connect their roots. Still, did you know how they support one another with extra food? How they can tell their offspring (后代) apart from other trees? How they can warn other trees when insects attack?

Ida Keeling’s daughter, Cheryl, a lifelong athlete, thought that maybe what would pull her mother out from under her dark cloud was something that would get her pumping again. She suggested a run. Not just a jog around the block, but an official run. At the time, Ida Keeling was 67.Keeling had grown up poor in Harlem, and had done hard work in factories. She had lost her husband early to a heart attack, and two of her four children - both of her sons - died in unsolved drug-related incidents in 1978 and 1981.Keeling had sunk into a deep depression (消沉), and her health had begun to slide. Her daughters began to worry that they soon might be losing their mother as well.It had been decades since Keeling had done any running, and she would later recall tha t first “mini-run” feeling as if it would never end. But when it did, “I just threw off all my bad memories.”She hasn’t stopped running since, and it’s no longer the tough work it was during that first meet. Since then, the small Keeling has set records for 60 meters in the 95-to-99 age group, and in 100 meters for the over-100 group.“I was just exercising,” she says regarding that first run, “and now I’m all over the world.”When she’s not running, she’s working out. She’s in the gym three to four days a week, running on tread-mills (跑步机), working out with weights and pedaling on the exercise bike, and even squeezing in some squats (深蹲) while she’s cooking. Part of her healthy diet is occasional brandy wine mixed with her coffee or water to aid circulation (血液循环).She’s written a book about her experiences, titled Can’t Nothing Bring Me Down: Chasing Myself in the Race Against Time.Her philosophy is also suitable for a runner: “Every day is another day forward.”1. What do the underlined words “get her pumping” mean in paragraph 1?A．Free her from great pressure. B．Fill her with life and energy.C．Equip her with self-confidence. D．Remind her of her problems.2. Why did Keeling suffer from a deep depression?A．She had grown up poor. B．She had done hard work.C．She had been in poor health. D．She had lost her husband and sons.3. What contributes to Keeling’s setting records when she is very old?A．Travelling around the world. B．The mini-run experience.C．Working out whenever possible. D．Brandy wine mixed with coffee.4. Which of the following can best describe Keeling?A．Athletic and strong-willed. B．Caring and sport-loving.C．Modest and hard-working. D．Humorous and out-going.5. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．Run forward B．Never too old to learnC．Live healthily D．Never give up hope in life3. The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday proposed maximum limits for the amount of lead (铅) in baby foods, after years of studies revealed that many processed products contained levels known to pose a risk to baby health.“This is really important progress for babies,” said Scott Faber, vice president of public affairs for the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization that had advised the agency (机构) to take action to remove met als from foods. “We were thankful that F.D.A. has made reducing poisonous metals in baby food a priority (优先事项).”The new limits, aimed at foods for children under 2, do not deal with grain-based snacks that have also been found to contain high levels of heavy metals. And they do not limit other metals, like cadmium, which the agency and many consumer groups have found in baby foods in previous years. Jane Houlihan, research director for Healthy Babies Bright Futures, a nonprofit, called the guidelines disa ppointing. “It doesn’t go far enough to protect babies from neurodevelopmental (神经发育的) damage from lead exposures,” she said. “Lead is in almost every baby food we’ve tested, and the action levels that F.D.A. has set will influence almost none of that food.”The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said there is no safe level of lead for children, who more readily absorb the heavy metal.The agency estimated that the proposed levels could reduce the dietary (饮食的) exposure to lead for some young children by about 25 percent. However, according to the F.D.A., even low levels of lead exposure in children can lead to “learning disabilities, behavior difficulties and lowered I.Q”.Lead is everywhere in the environment from decades of uncontrolled use in gasoline for cars, farm machinery, aircraft and paint, said Tracey Woodruff, a scientist at the University of California. Mr. Faber said the new guideline would cause food companies to encourage suppliers to change their farming practices to reduce the le ad levels in food. “I think that past history has shown that farmers and food companies are very quickly able to change how they grow and process these ingredients to meet tougher standards,” he said.1. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?A．The purposes of the guidelines. B．The benefits of the guidelines.C．The disadvantages of the guidelines. D．The functions of the guidelines.2. Why does the guideline disappoint Jane Houlihan?A．It aims at all kinds of poisonous metals.B．It only focuses on reducing the amount of lead.C．It fails to protect children from lead exposures.D．It encourages farmers to deal with snacks with heavy metals.3. What damage can low levels of lead in baby foods cause to children?A．Mental diseases. B．Lowered E.Q.C．Food poisoning. D．Learning difficulties.4. Which of the following best describes Mr. Faber’s attitude towards the guideline?A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Cautious. D．Unclear.5. What change may the guideline bring directly according to the last paragraph?A．The way of farming. B．The lifestyle of the farmers.C．The supplies of food. D．The management of the food companies.4. Do you want to impress people with your words? Do you want to be the person at parties whose conversation is always filled with wisdom? 1● Read high-level journalism.One of the best ways to build your vocabulary is to meet new and difficult words in the context. 2 Publications such as the New York Times, The Economist, The New Yorker, and The Guardian are all excellent sources of English.● 3Your impressive words will not arouse your friends’ interest if you don’t sound comfortable using them. Practice using your new vocabulary as often as possible. Remember to be yourself. By all means be the best, most impressive version of you, but stay you.● Present confident body language.About 70% of all communication is done through non-verbal communication, such as body language and gestures. 4 Stand straight. Don’t swing wildly or rush through your words or your gestures. Moving too quickly is a sign of nervousness. Make eye contact about 50% of the time when speaking, and about 70% of the time when listening.● Learn to read your audience.One of the best ways to learn to read an audience is to watch and listen. A person who only listens to the sound of his own voice will not impress other people. Make sure to listen as well as speak. 5 For example, don’t assume that women will only want to discuss shopping or that men will only want to discuss sports.5.
