得夺市安庆阳光实验学校高二英语上学期开学检测试题第I卷（选择题）第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：阅读理解（40分）AI really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.I then found myself a job — looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. Sh e persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.21．What is the author’s present job?A.

She found a full-time job.B. She was fed up with children.C. She decided to attend a part-time course.D. She needed a rest after working extra hours.24．What has the author learned from her own experiences?A. Less successful students can still have a career.B. Qualifications are necessary for a career.C. Hard work makes an excellent student.D. One must choose the job one likes.BYou never played the video dance game? Now such games are used to help lose weight!Like many other teenage boys, Jones loves sports. But at 5 feet, 175 pounds, he found his weight in trouble. His doctor wanted him to lose 50 pounds so that he may be a good football game player by the end of the summer.Jones chose the popular Dance Revolution video game at home to increase his activity. He had lost about 10 pounds by changing his diet. Now, after two weeks’ playing the game, he has lost another 10!A health study is being done by an insurance company. The company hopes that the game will lead to better health and lower costs. “Obesity claims last year cost us $ 77 million. We have to cut those costs,” said a member of the insurance group. The company provides a game console (游戏主机), a dance mat and software for the six-month, $ 60,000 study.The study is more than a commercial thing of an insurance company. It is widely supported by physical education and health professionals.In West Virginia, 43% of the nearly 6,000 children examined for heart disease risk were considered over-weighted; more than 25% were too fat. “We are in a crisis of childhood obesity not only in West Virginia but in America,” said a researcher.Researchers are now looking at the potential for improving effectsby using the game. A teacher in West Virginia has been using the video games in her classes since last fall. She reported that the game does improve heart health as well as eye-hand coordination (协调能力), and her students take the video game as a great alternative to jumping rope or ball games.The US Education Department is putting the game in 20 schools to control childhood obesity. Well, are you going to try such to dance away your extra weight?25．The underlined part is trying to tell us _____.A. the study involves many insurance companiesB. the study is only an insurance company’s businessC. the study is less important than the insurance company’s moneyD. it’s not only the insurance company that is concerned about the study26．It can be inferred that _____.A. the government thinks highly of the dance gameB. in West Virginia, more than 25 % of the adults were too fatC. a teacher is a failure in using the video game in her classesD. the US Education Department isn’t interested in the game 27．The most suitable title of the passage is _____.A. Dance Away Your WeightB. Play the Video Dance GameC. Solve the Problem of ObesityD. Cut the Cost of Obesity ClaimsCThe United States has always been a country of many cultures. Before Europeans came to North America, many groups of Native Americans lived here. Different Native American groups had different cultures. The first Europeans in the United States were from England and Holland, but immigrants came from all European countries. Many people also immigrated from Asia and Africa. Sadly, many Africans were brought to the United States as slaves. Many immigrants come from Latin America too. Today, the United States has people from more cultures than ever.In the 19th century, people spoke of the United States as a “melting pot.” People thought that all immigrates should forget their native cultures and languages and become English-speaking Americans. They felt that people should assimilate-join American culture. However, not everyone wanted to assimilate completely. Many people tried to keepparts of their cultures, such as foods, customs, and languages. However, their children often forgot their parents’ or grandparents’ language. But most Americans, even those whose families have been here a long time, can tell the countries their relatives came from. And of course, new immigrants take great pride in their curare and language.For all of these reasons, melting pot is no longer a good way to describe the United States. Instead, people now call the United States a “salad bowl.” They say salad bowl because in a salad, you can still see all of the individual parts (lettuce, tomato, and so on), but all the different parts mixed together and begin to take on the flavor of one another.28．Who are not mentioned as immigrants to America?A. EuropeansB. AsiansC. AustraliansD. Latin Americans29．The underlined word “assimilate” in paragraph 2 means .A. delightB. AcceptC. challengeD. reject30．Why is a “salad bowl” a better way to call the United States instead of a “melting pot”?A. Immigrants love to eat salads instead of hot potB. Immigrants take pride in their culture and languageC. Immigrants join American culture only partiallyD. Immigrants remain independent completely31．What would be the best title for the passage?A. America and ImmigrantsB. Different Groups, Different CulturesC. America – A Salad BowlD. America – A Great CountryDGenetically modified (转基因 ) foods have become a focus point of agriculture throughout the news today. This has an effect on many different aspects of the agriculture world. From the seed dealer, to the farmer that buys the seed, to the workers that the farmer sells to; all are affected by the new technologies that are involved in this part of production agriculture.Genetically modified foods have come under heavy fire lately. There are some countries that are against buying these types of foods. They are tested for safety by the best scientific experts in Europe, theUS and the rest of the world. They are not for sale until they have gone through this complete safety process. Since they are a new product, and any slight problem with them could affect a whole country, these tests are very necessary.These safety tests are carried out because of the new rules that were made with the Novel Foods Regulation. Begun in May of 1997, the Novel Foods Regulation set up an EU-wide pre-market system for all novel foods. A novel food is described as one that has not been eaten by EU consumers widely in the past. By setting up this program the EU hopes to keep its consumers safe from any possible side effects of any new food products.There are a variety of ways in which genetic modification has helped food producers. They can improve the nutritional (营养的) value or the storage conditions of the food. Today there are only two genetically modified foods that have been allowed for use, these are GM soybean and GM maize.Despite any safety checks, many people are still cautious about eating genetically modified foods. By providing these people with the necessary information, we can allow them to make decisions about these foods.32．What do we know about the novel food?A. It’s very popular in EU.B. It’s bad for people’s health.C. It’s a new kind of food.D. Its story has been published.33．Genetically foods are allowed to be sold if they are .A. tested for safetyB. of high qualityC. more nutritionalD. grown in Europe34．From paragraph 2, we can learn that genetically modifiedfoods .A. do no harm to peopleB. have caused some problemsC. are well received after being testedD. are criticized and attacked by many people35．What’s the writer’s attitude towards genetically modified foods?A. We should warn people that they are too dangerous to be eaten.B. We should give people information about them so that they can decide whether to buy themC. We should encourage people to eat them because they are more nutritional.D. We should tell people that they are trying to fool the farmers.七选五The person behind you constantly kicks the back of your seat. Your talkative seatmate doesn't understand your need for sleep. And the aircraft's bathroom is a total mess. These situations can make even a short flight unbearable. Hopefully you don't cause these unpleasant experiences for others. _36．__Always recline (向后倾斜) your seat slowly. There's nothing worse than suddenly being hit in the knees by the seat in front of you. In addition, don't keep your seat reclined for the entire flight. Always keep it upright during mealtimes. And remember to put it in the upright position before going to the restroom or anytime you leave your seat.__37．__ Wait until the meal is done and all the food trays (盘子) have been collected. It's hard for passengers to stand up to let you pass when they still have their food trays.

Share the armrest, especially on a long flight. Also, be careful not to kick or push on the seat in front of you.While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight, not everyone does. Some people may want to nap, read or work. __38．__If you are traveling with someone and want to chat, keep your voices low. __39．__ People can still hear through your headphones if the volume is too high.When exiting the plane, if others are having trouble with their carryon luggage, help them if you can.

On your flight, remember the golden rule：_40．__A．Treat others the way you want to be treated!B．If the conversation seems one-sided, you should notice it.C．Don't leave your carryon in the aircraft.D．Instead, you can set an example by following these common airplanene courtesies (礼貌)E．Avoid going to the bathroom during mealtimes.F．It is not polite to talk loudly in the aircraft.G．If using electronic gadgets(小装置), keep the volume down.三、完形填空（30分）An old man wanted to retire because of his poor health．The 41 was in deciding which son would take his place．As his children gatheredto 42 his birthday, the father announced his 43 ．The oldman took out two boxes and said to his two sons．“Each of you take one．I want each of you to_44__ it with what you believe to bethe most 45 thing for our successful business．46 your choices,I will decide who will take 47 the business,” father said． Thenext days the families and employees could sense the spirit of 48 between the boys.It was January 1st and the family 49 to celebrate again．“Please_50__with me what’s in your box!” father said．The first son said, “It’s outside on the back of truck．Thebox you gave me was much too 51 ” Father walked to the windowand from that distance could see all．With a deep tone of 52 , he asked the other son，“What do you have to give?”The son 53 his father the box．The old man looked inside and with great 54 looked up at his son .“It’s55 !” father said .“Are you te lling me that you have found nothing of value in our business?”“On the contrary,” he said．“I could not place 56 I found most valuable in a box．How does one measure the value of quality and honesty?

Looking up at the brilliant blue sky and then at the faraway mountains rising above the swaying palm trees, they couldn’t wait to start their holiday.A taxi pulled up swiftly and silently. Derek dropped their suitcases into the boot and joined Shirley in the back seat. “Palm Trees Hotel, please,” Derek said excitedly. “Certainly, sir,” replied the driver, as he turned around with a flashing white smile. Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the taxi eased smoothly into the traffic. “Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar—in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton... but of course, you can’t be.”Derek and Shirley sat in silent disbelief as the driver explained that he was not a real person, but a robot made to look like a famous actor. “Rocky” explained that the taxi company had purchased the latest model of robot drivers since they were programmed to be safer and more reliable than human drivers. “So, here I am,” “Rocky” continued, “your first robot taxi driver!”Derek and Shirley held each other’s hands more lightly. “Relax,” “Rocky” reassured them, “there is nothing for you to worry about. I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent. I’m equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I know every street in the city. I am instantly updated with the latest traffic information so that I can avoid traffic jams and get you to your destination in the quickest and least stressful manner. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.”Derek and Shirley, feeling a little better, leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes. “And another thing,” “Rocky” added, “my line of robots represents the ultimate (最高典范) in computer technology. I am beautifully designed, made from only the best materials and subject to the strictest quality checks. Therefore, you are entirely safe with me. Nothing could possibly go wrong... could possibly go wrong, wrong… go wrong…”4．Why did Derek and Shirley feel puzzled when they got into the taxi?A．Because the driver was a robot.B．Because the driver was Rocky Overton.C．Because the driver gave them a big smile.D．Because the driver looked like a famous actor.5．What do we know about the taxi driver “Rocky”?A．It has the perfect vision and superior reactions.B．It is the first robot taxi driver in the world.C．It is instantly updated with the latest news.D．It has never get stuck in traffic jams.6．What does the underlined word “reassured” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Threatened.B．Persuaded.C．Surprised.D．Comforted. 7．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Robot drivers are perfectly designed.B．Robot drivers are able to repeat the words.C．Robot drivers are not so reliable as expected.D．Robot drivers are not safer than human drivers.Cetaceans(鲸目动物) communicate through sound to find food and to interact socially. Their sounds vary between species and within communities. The long-finned pilot whales can mimic (模仿) artificial noise, but nobody had previously recorded them. A new study, however, found overlap in the cetacean sound book.Pilot whales and orcas(虎鲸)，the two largest species of cetaceans, are often seen in the same environments and are similar sizes, and both live in social groups with strong union, says Charlotte Cure, a researcher at CEREMA Lab in France, who was not involved in the study. Orcas compete for food with long-finned pilot whales and are potentially their predators.Evidence from orca stomachs shows they do occasionally eat pilot whales. But pilot whales can mob(成群田住) and chase them away, the only cetaceans seen defending themselves from the strong enemies in this way.Mimicry could serve as additional defense; “One assumption is that if they use similar sounds, they may not be recognized as prey," Erbe says. Pilot whales eating orcas' foodremains might go unnoticed if they use orca-like calls. “This is all underwater," she adds, “so these animals rely on sound for detecting their prey and predators.”Long-finned pilot whales have shown an ability to distinguish between orca calls with different meanings; Cure suggests that instead of tricking orcas, the callers could instead be presenting a new orca sound to other group members.Additional work would confirm whether mimicry is actually occurring. Researchers could pair their listening data with direct observations of the animals' interactions in the wild or perhaps even play orca sounds and watch the whales' reactions.But if a future experiment used predatory sounds, it would need to be done. very carefully.“A reaction to a predator can be very strong," Cure says.“In some protected areas, you are not allowed to do more than two predatory playbacks per year."8．Which of the following is NOT shared by the pilot whales and orcas?A．They communicate through sound.B．They often live in the same environments.C．They can defend themselves through mimicry.D．They always live together with other group members.9．What do we know from the fourth paragraph?A．The pilot whales mimic the sounds to detect their prey.B．The pilot whales only mimic one kind of the sounds of the orcas.C．The pilot whales can pretend to be orcas to share the food remains.D．The pilot whales can distinguish different meanings of orca calls to trick them. 10．How do the researchers confirm whether mimicry is actually occurring?A．By observing the whales from the distance.B．By mimicking the sounds in the experiment.C．By analyzing the data from the cetacean sound book.D．By listening or playing the sounds and watching the whales' reactions.11．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．Pilot Whales: Copy Orca Calls B．How Orcas Mimic Pilot Whale Calls C．How Pilot Whales Defend Themselves D．Orcas and Pilot Whales: Predators and PreyNearly 10 million people worldwide live with Parkinson’s disease. While Parkinson’s isincurable, some of its worst symptoms can be relieved and controlled using medications. A major problem of getting effective treatment at the right time is identifying the disease soon enough, before patients experience the symptoms brought on by irreversible(不可逆转的)neuron loss.But scientists might have just the thing to change the situation. And it involves a nose. In a study published in the journal ACS Omega, researchers from China’s Zhejiang University created an “e-nose, ”a portable device that can detect body smells specific to Parkinson’s patients.It may come as a surprise to learn Parkinson’s patients have their own smells. But after a retired nurse in Scotland made headlines in 2015 for a heightened sense of smell that led to her own husband’s Parkinson’s diagnosis, scientists have been trying hard to create a device that could smell the disease before physical symptoms start to show.Over the years, scientists have found people with Parkinson’s tend to produce more sebum (皮脂)than the average person. This sebum mixes with other overproduced substances to produce certain, unique smells.To track down these smells, the Zhejiang University researchers swabbed(用拭子擦拭)the upper backs of 31 Parkinson’s patients and 32 healthy volunteers. Using machine-learning software, they were able to identify three smell compounds that healthy volunteers lacked. The researchers then tested the e-nose on sebum taken from 12 Parkinson’s patients and 12 healthy people. The device was found to be about 71 percent accurate in distinguishing healthy sebum from Parkinson’s sebum.These are encouraging findings, but before the e-nose is ready for clinical use, the team needs to test it on many more people to improve the accuracy of the models. They will also need to test whether factors like race affect the e-nose’s performance in any way. But for now, as the number of people living with Parkinson’s in the U. S. is expected to rise to 1.2 million by 2030, a nose might be the best option to detect this disease.12．What makes it difficult for Parkinson’s patients to get effective treatment?A．Its medications are in short supply.B．It involves irreversible neuron loss.C．Its early signs are not easy to notice.D．It’s not a curable disease medically.13．What did the Scottish nurse find?A．Her husband’s body gave off a strange smell.B．Her husband had a heightened sense of smell.C．A smell caused her husband to suffer from a disease.D．A smell could relieve her husband’s Parkinson’s symptoms.14．What will the researchers do concerning their invention?A．Put it into clinical use.B．Conduct a broader test.C．Create more lab models.D．Expand its market outside the U. S.15．What is the best title for the text?A．This e-nose can smell Parkinson’sB．Parkinson’s patients produce more sebumC．People living with Parkinson’s are on the riseD．Researchers have found treatment for Parkinson’s二、七选五How to Strengthen Your WillpowerResearchers find willpower is like a muscle—it may get tired from over use. So, if it acts like a muscle, can it also be strengthened? The answer is YES. 161. Ten minutes of reflectionReflection will give you the fater results. 17 Researchers show that after just 2—3 days of practicing thinking for 10 minutes, your brain will be able to focus better, you will have more energy, and you aill be less stressed.2. Work on your postureWork on your posture for a 2-week period. Every time you catch yourself slouching(懒散), correct it by sitting up straight. This simple practice can vastly improve your perseverance.3. Use your opposite handSelect a chunk(块) of the day to use your opposite hand. 18 And from personal experience, if you aim for more than an hour, you will unnecessarily tire out your willpower muscle.4. Correct your speechChange your natural speech. 19 Again, it takes willpower to consciously go against your instincts. It doesn’t matter how you correct your speech, as long as you change natural speech habits.To get started, select a chunk of the day to practice and choose the words you will change. Personally, I tried not using contractions during work hours and it worked very well.Above are some effective ways to strengthen your perseverance. Do not try to do all at once. 20 You should start small and gradually build up as your muscles get stronger.A．Training your willpower muscle is like training for a marathon.B．This even includes resisting the urge to say “hello” instead of “hey”.C．You will be more mentally strong.D．With the right practice willpower can be strengthened.E．It can make your brain focus and resist the urge to wander.F．Be more conscious of your automic decisions.G．It doesn’t need to be more than an hour in order to get results.三、完形填空This year, hundreds of people around the world are applying for a desired job to run Portcommunity.

She found a solution in her engineering class, where students were tasked with adapting existing products to make daily life easier for people with physical disabilities.Aasritha’s creativity kicked in as she researched existing bottle-opening devices. “The shape and size of a cellphone are familiar,” she said. To create a better bottle opener, Aasritha used a piece of wood. It was shaped like a cellphone. Next, she put three holes in the wood. The holes were in different sizes so that they could match common bottle cap sizes. Each hole also had a layer of dried hot glue, providing a strong hold for the bottle caps. With a simple twisting motion, her grandmother could open bottles without assistance.While addressing challenges those with learning disabilities, movement challenges and other issues face, students like Aasritha used more than their math, physics, and tool skills. They also learned about empathy (共情). “Empathy is looking at problems from another person’s point of view,”Aasritha’s teacher, Mark Bolt, said. “It’s an important part of engineering. Engineers need to put themselves in their product users’ shoes to build effective solutions.” It was empathy, while watching friends and family deal with daily tasks, that pushed other students’ projects.Student Michael noticed how reading disorder made it difficult for his friends to follow along on pages full of text. Their brains tend to confuse the order of numbers, letters, and other images. So Michael created a small adjustable window-blind-style device. “My friend could separate smallsections of text while reading,” he said.In the process, students tried different versions of their products to make the best one to show the class. Rather than having step-by-step directions for the projects, Bolt preferred to leave students’ creative paths open. “If we want to do better, we have to have a chance to fail,” he said. 4．What might be a solution to Aasritha’s engineering class task?A．To invent new products.B．To better wheelchairs.C．To raise money for the disabled.D．To teach lower-grade students engineering. 5．Why are the three holes’ sizes different in Aasritha’s bottle opener?A．To ensure a wider use.B．To make the most of ce.C．To beautify the bottle opener.D．To make the opener easier to hold. 6．According to Mark Bolt, while designing products engineers should _________.A．ask for the users’ advice B．be thoughtful of their usersC．improve their work effectiveness D．focus more on the people around them 7．What does Mark Bolt think is important in the students’ creation?A．Aiming to be the best creator.B．Having room for free exploration.C．Following a strict set of rules and steps.D．Serving different functions in different situations.CIt is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing , because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child,s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with thefamily is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different social-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic background and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the child,s development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.8．What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program ?A．The large number of poor families.B．The disapproval from children.C．The late start of the program.D．The long period of time.9．What do we know about the “Missouri” program ?A．It focused on the children,s first school teachers.B．It helped the children return to the same home.C．It made the children improved in many aspects.D．It gave the parents advice on their development.10．According to the passage, what is likely to influence children,s performance ?A．The number of family members.B．The parent-child communication.C．The intelligence of their parents.D．The teacher-student relationship.11．How does the author develop the passage ?A．By listing figures.B．By making comparisons.C．By giving examples.D．By drawing conclusions.DThe decline in moral standards - which has long concerned social analysts-has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation's moral climate, says this ethics(伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are gaining popularity. “The thought that ‘I’m in it for me has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness,” Ms. Elshtain says.Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration(瓦解) of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today's greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U. S. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament(挽歌) for some nonexistent “golden age,”Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful longing for a smash of the discrimination that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor the lessening of prejudice. and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor the lessening of prejudice.Moral decline will not be reversed(扭转) until people find ways to oppose the materialism in society, she says. “Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that can't be bought.”12．Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans _______.A．have adapted to a new set of moral standardsB．are longing for the return of the good old daysC．have realized the importance of material thingsD．are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards13．The moral decline of American society is caused mainly by _______.A．the growing wealth of the countryB．the self-centeredness of individualsC．underestimating the impact of social changesD．the prejudice against women and minorities14．Which of the following characterizes the traditional communities?A．Great mobility.B．Emphasis on individual effort.

They’re not lifeless, because they multiply and have genes. Yet they’re not “alive,” as they don’t have cells, and can’t survive on their own. Viruses reproduce by hijacking (劫持) the host’s cells, eventually causing them to burst and die. 16 In order to protect ourselves from them, we have to know some basic facts about viruses.17 People often think of just a few viruses—influenza, HIV, and now coronaviruses—but they are the most plentiful microbes (微生物) on the planet. There are about 320,000 types that infect mammals, but just 219 are known to infect humans.You can get some viruses more than once. There’s a popular myth that once you’ve had a virus, you’re immune to (对……免疫) it. 18 When you get a virus, your body builds up antibodies to fight it. However, not everyone makes enough antibodies, and they can wear off over time, which is why you need booster shots of some vaccines.You can be contagious (传染性的) without ever showing symptoms. Some viruses can be spread via people who never had signs of the illness or who don’t have symptoms yet. Some people may even be “super-spreaders”. 19 Take precautions to prevent spreading viruses even when you don’t feel sick.If you’re very overweight, you need to be extra cautious. Obese people are contagious with the flu virus 42 percent longer than those who aren’t obese. Because obesity is linked to many health problems, it may affect your immune system. 20A．But that’s not always the case.B．There are many more viruses than you think.C．Loss of taste or smell is an early warning sign.D．Extra weight may make the flu shot (流感疫苗) less effective too.E．Sleep as much as possible to help your body to recover.F．That’s why viruses that infect humans nearly always cause illness.G．They will infect dozens to hundreds of other people without even realizing it.二、完型填空（共15空，15分）I was traveling on an overnight bus in Maharashtra.

D．$400.3．What will participants probably do on July 16, 2023?A．Conduct a survey in the field.B．Help reconstruct ancicnt objects.C．Observe professtonal excavations.D．Learn about artifact classification.Whether it be a person, an animal, or even an insect, a mother’s instincts (本能) are never wrong. This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cat’s quick thinking may have just saved her babies.In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital bolding a kitten in her mouth. As the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying for a long time. She was familiar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they were unaware that she had given birth to kittens.The mother cat was concerned for her young because they weren’t able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they noticed that they were suffering from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, “We consulted with vets (兽医) and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were excited.” Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for adoption and will hopefully find loving forever homes.When it comes to mother cats and kittens, kittens completely depend on mothers for the first few months of their lives. Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any threat or danger. Without the mother cat’s help, the kittens may not make it to adulthood.As shown by the mother cat in Turkey, a mother’s love and protection knows no bounds.Whether the mom is a human or a cat, mothers will always look out for their babies and make sure they are safe and healthy.4．Why did the mother cat show up in the hospital?A．To beg for food.B．To get her babies treated.C．To express thanks.D．To give birth to her babies.5．How did the doctors help the baby cat?A．They built them a home.B．They adopted all of them.C．They operated on them immediately.D．They gave them right medicine.6．What makes newly-born cats dependent on their mothers?A．Their physical state.B．Their eating habit.C．Their appearance.D．Their behavior.7．What can we learn from the story?A．Love makes a difference.B．One good turn deserves another.C．Humans can live peacefully with animals.D．God helps those who help themselves.Most people enjoy variety. We like to eat different foods from meal to meal. We wear different clothes. We like to try new activities and visit new places. We become bored when there is little variety. Nevertheless, there’s one place where we tend to dislike variety, and that’s in each other. We often feel uncomfortable with people who practise different habits, or hold beliefs or values that we do not share.There are reasons for this. When we are exposed to new and different things, our brain works a bit harder than usual. When we’re learning, our nerve cells require more resources, such as water, salt, and various other chemicals. This extra metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity can feel unsettling and unpleasant. And it can feel worse if our nervous system is already under pressure, like in the midst of the pandemic.This sort of variation may be uncomfortable for individuals, but it’s critical to the survival of any species. If all finches (雀科鸣鸟) were identical, for example, and their environment changed in some significant, harmful ways, like an increase in the temperature or a decrease inwater, all of them would be equally affected and the species might become extinct. This insight into variation comes from Charles Darwin, and it’s known as population thinking. Most people associate Darwin with his evolutionary theory of natural selection, but population thinking may be an even greater scientific achievement. The idea of “survival of the fittest” implies that individuals must vary. Some are more suited than others for a given environment, making it easier for them to survive, grow, and reproduce. Variation is therefore a prerequisite for natural selection to work.Dealing with the vast variety of humankind can be demanding and even annoying at times, but it’s a good investment, sort of like exercise for your brain. When you meet someone who looks different or thinks differently from you, treat your discomfort as a cue to be curious and learn instead of a signal of a problem. Don’t hold the view that the other person should be silenced. Ultimately, this mindset can make you more flexible in adapting to challenging situations, and more adaptable to change.8．Which of the following might make people feel uncomfortable?A．Having an adventure in the wild.B．Taking a trip to a foreign country.C．Sharing traveling experiences with others.D．Socializing with people from diverse cultures.9．What does the second paragraph focus on?A．People’s unwillingness to deal with new things.B．The significance of learning new things in our life.C．The biological explanations for people’s discomfort.D．The role of the nervous system in learning new things.10．What does the underlined word “prerequisite” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Requirement.B．Substitute.C．Motivation.D．Challenge. 11．What does the writer mainly want to convey?A．Why we tend to chase and enjoy variation.B．How we can benefit from seeking variation.C．How we should treat the differences we find in others.D．Why we should get along with people different from us.Certain stem cells have a unique ability to move between growth compartments(隔间) in hair follicles(毛囊), but get stuck as people age and so lose their ability to mature and maintain hair color, a new study shows.Led by researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the new work focused on cells in the skin of mice and also found in humans called melanocyte stem cells, or McSCs. Hair color is controlled by whether nonfunctional but continually multiplying pools of McSCs within hair follicles get the signal to become mature cells that make the protein pigment(色素) responsible for color.The new study showed that McSCs are remarkably plastic. This means that during normal hair growth, such cells continually move back and forth between maturity and immaturity as they move between compartments of the developing hair follicle. It is inside these compartments that McSCs are exposed to different levels of maturity-influencing protein signals.The researchers found that as hair ages, comes off, and then repeatedly grows back, increasing numbers of McSCs get stuck in the stem cell compartment. They remain there, do not mature into the transit-amplifying state, and do not travel back to their original location in the germ compartment, where they regenerate into pigment cells.Specifically, the research team found that McSCs transform between their most primitive stem cell state and the next stage of their maturation, depending on their location.“Our study adds to our basic understanding of how McSCs work to color hair,”said study lead investigator Qi Sun, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at NYU Langone Health. “The newfound mechanisms raise the possibility that the same fixed-positioning of McSCs may exist in humans. If so, it presents a potential pathway for changing over or preventing the graying of human hair by helping jammed cells to move again between developing hair follicle compartments.”12．What is the function of mature McSCs?A．Receiving maturity signal.B．Making protein pigments.C．Stopping hair from being colored.D．Sending maturity-influencing protein signals. 13．What determines the state of McSCs?A．Their quantity.B．Their growing time.C．Their size.D．Their position.14．What can be concluded from the study?A．Hair will stop growing as it ages.B．Gray hair will no longer mature.C．Stuck McSCs cause hair to turn gray.D．Gray hair can eventually grow normal. 15．What did Qi Sun express in the last paragraph?A．The potential application of the finding.B．The principle behind the result of the study.C．The basic understanding of McSCs.D．The possibility of developing hair follicle compartments.A large part of the world’s total sugar supply comes from beets. Most markets carry this sugar, but it may not always be clearly labeled. You may think the white sugar you just bought is made from sugarcane. 16Beets have been an important crop in human agriculture for centuries, with evidence of their planting dating back to ancient civilizations in Europe. However, it was not until the16th century that beets’ potential as a source of sugar was realized. 17 Later, they slowly spread to America.One key advantage of using beets for sugar is that compared to sugarcane, beets can be planted in cooler regions. 18 Beet sugar is also easier to produce. just requiring very basic processing. So in consideration of the cost-effective characteristics, beets are an attractive alternative to sugarcane.19 The initial step involves washing and cutting up the beets, followed by passing them through a machine that forces hot water past the beet pieces. The resulting juice is then combined with liquids squeezed from the beets. The mixture is then heated, leading to a thick, sweet liquid. Finally, the liquid is further processed to obtain beet sugar, which is chemically nearly identical to sugarcane sugar.The quantities of beet sugar and sugarcane sugar can be used equally in baking recipes.20 While some people are able to tell a difference, many others can’t tell whether a baked treat has been made with beet sugar or sugarcane sugar. So beet sugar sometimes can replace sugarcane sugar in a baking recipe.A．Beets can be easily processed.B．But its source may be actually beets.C．The flavour of baked goods is quite similar.D．Let’s look at how exactly to make beet sugar.E．In most cases, people tend to eat sugarcane sugar.F．Besides, beets are tougher and able to grow on land of poor quality.G．Therefore, beet sugar processing plants began to be built in Europe.二、完形填空Tineke Vanobbergen found herself torn when it was time for her to return to her job.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using theinformation from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Dolphins are not fish; they’re mammals. They are warm-blooded like man and give birth to one baby called a calf at a time. At birth a calf is about 90—130cm long and grows to about 4m. They live up to 40 years. They are highly sociable animals.Their teeth are interlocking rows of hooks, suitable for holding slippery fish. They eat fish whole starting with head first. When they go wild they keep their mouth open and sometimes keep it nodding to express their aggression. Greater aggression is shown by violent jaw clapping. Dolphins breathe through their blowhole(呼吸孔) located at the top of their head. The dolphin’s eyes produce a special slippery secretion(分泌物) which protects the eyes from foreign objects and water friction.Dolphins use their powerful tail to move through the water. They also use their tail while hunting. They slap their tail rapidly when they get annoyed or when they want to indicate the sign of danger to alert other dolphins.The dolphin’s skin is complete ly smooth allowing the dolphin to move easily through the water, and also reduce heat loss. Their skin may bear rake marks from other dolphin’s teeth during play or mating, andcan easily become badly sunburned if they strand(搁浅).Their bodies are very streamlined so they may swim at high speed through the water, and an example of this is their ears. Dolphin’s ears are barely noticeable marked only by a small hole just behind the eyes. While sleeping, it shuts down only half of its brain, as its breathing is under voluntary control. Dolphins take short catnaps, floating just below the surface, and then slowly rising to breathe. Often dolphins are very active during night time, for some this is their main feeding time. Dolphins are able to dive to great depths, and also leap to great heights. They may leap to avoid predators or to show how powerful they are to females at mating time.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage, Answer the questions according to theinformation given in the passage.Have you ever thought about going from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean, that is, from the east to the west of the USA? If you go by plane, you will make to trip in a few hours. If you go by train, you will finish the journey in two days. If you go by car, you will arrive there in a week or less. But how long does it take if you have to walk, or go on horseback or by boat? Certainly, it would take a lot more time if you do so.But the first men to cross North America went this slow way. They went from St. Louis, Missouri, to the Pacific Ocean. They had to carry their own supplies with them. There were no roads to follow, and rivers were very dangerous.Led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, a team of forty-five men left St. Louis on May 8, 1804. They traveled up the Mississippi River in boats. By late fall, the men reached the land of Manda Indians in what is now the state of North Dakot a.Here they built a camp for the winter. Here they also met a French trapper(设陷阱捕兽者) and his Indian wife.The trapper and his wife became their guides later.In the spring of the next year, the men started up the Mississippi River again. At last they came to a place where the river divided into three forks(支流). At this place there is now a small town called Three Forks, Montana.They followed one of the forks, the Jefferson River, but the river soon became too small and they could no longer use their boats. They walked many miles before they met some Indians. These Indians gave them horses for their trip over the Rocky Mountains.The trip over the mountains was dangerous and difficult. Many of them were sick, and there was little food.On the west side of the mountains, they found the Columbia River. Here they built canoes(独木舟，小划子) to use on the rest of their trip to the west In November of 1806, after a long and hard trip, they reached the Pacific Ocean.81．How many ways are mentioned in the article to go from the east to the west of the USA?82．Who became the guides of the first men to cross North America? 83．How long did it take the first men to finish such a journey?(5个单词以内)84．When did the team of forty-five men leave St. Louis?Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.请根据所给信息，以The Great Wall of China 为题写一篇120字左右的演讲稿，在班上与同学一起交流。
