AIn 2007, Jamie Whitmore was considered as one of the most successful athletes in America.However, everything changed during a competition that seemed like many others she had conquered. As a professional athlete, Whitmore was used to suffering, but she never imagined the pain in her leg could be a deadly cancer.What doctors found during surgery shocked them all: Whitmore had Spindle Cell Sarcoma, a soft tissue tumor (肿瘤) that can start in the bone, and the tumor was wrapped around her nerve and touching several vital organs. They couldn’t cut it out fearing to burst the tumor.When sh e heard the diagnosis for the first time, Whitmore said, “time stood still, I couldn’t breathe. They were talking about the treatment and I started crying as I didn’t want to die.” Finally, the doctors enlisted the help of several specialists to remove the tumor. Whitmore developed sepsis (败血症) from the surgery and endured a two-month recovery. When she began to feel sick again, Whitmore was sure her cancer was back. Instead, doctors gave her unexpected news: She was pregnant-with twins. “That was a whole other freak-out,” Whitmore recalled.She has never met a challenge she couldn’t overcome. Today, Whitmore is a mother of two sons and cancer-free. She is competing again, and has won a gold medal in the Paralympics (残奥会), nine world titles, and has set two world records. She travels as a motivational speaker when she doesn’t spend time with her sons. Whitmore has some words of advice for others with limitations: “Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do. Some doctors told me I would never ride anything. And yet I rode my mountain bike 104 miles climbing from 9,000 feet to 14,000 feet. People with two good legs have fallen short of that task! You just can’t give up.”1. How did Whitmore feel when knowing about her cancer?A. Sad and scared.B. Ashamed and regretful.C. Annoyed and frightened.D. Astonished and inspired.2. What does the underlined word “freak-out” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Something interesting.B. Something demanding.C. Something unusual.D. Something meaningful.3. What’s the purpose of Whitmore’s traveling as a speaker?A. To build up her character.B. To inspire those with limitations.C. To spend more time with her children.D. To earn more money in her spare time.【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B【解析】本文是记叙文。

The CircleB“It’s really cool to have a dad who flies fighter jets,” thought 11-year-old Casey as she was watching him fly overhead.Living on an Air Force base was not as bad as some people might think. Casey rather enjoyed being around friends who had something in common with each other. They had their own school, bowling area, and movie theatre. She especially loved it when her dad would come home each day and greet her with a new joke and tickles.Today was different, though. When her dad walked into the room, he looked sad for some reason. He just kissed her on the forehead and told her mum that he needed to talk to her. Casey knew something was wrong.When her mum and dad came out of the other room, mum was crying. Dad sat down and began to explain that hehad been called to go to Iraq to help with the war effort. Casey was so surprised that she couldn’t speak for a moment. She began to feel tears in her eyes. How could she live without her dad for a whole year?Soon, the day came. Her dad was leaving. As Casey and her mom watched him climb up the steps to his cockpit, the tears began to flow and it felt like they would never end. It was hard for Casey to believe that sh e wouldn’t be her dad for so long. They depend on him for so many things. who would fix the broken window? Who would greet her with jokes and tickles at the end of the day? And then the thought hit her, “What if he doesn’t make it home?” Casey began to sob more than ever.5. According to the story, one thing Casey enjoyed on the base was that ________.A. there was a friendly girl of her age living next doorB. she could travel around in her father’s jetC. her friends had something in common with herD. her dad was going to fight abroad6. What can we know from the story?A. Casey’s dad volunteered to help with the war.B. Casey’s parents didn’t let her know the truth.C. Casey’s dad amused her in the morning usually.D. Children living on the base could see movies in their theater.7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Casey was worried that they couldn’t live without her father.B. Casey saw her father off at the airport.C. Casey’s dad looked sad.D. Casey’s father left home.CEnglish is full of colorful phrases to describe shyness. Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower, while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say boo to a goose.None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions, even if you like geese. In a culture of go-getting, high achievers, shy people don’t come first. Or that’s what the self-help industry would have you believe. Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business. That is why one book, Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success acrossEnglish-language media recently for its new take-on shyness.Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life, being shy can also be "a gift". Freed from the constant urge to participate and compete in social situations, people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.I ndeed, many of the world’s great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人). Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company; actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties; and Harry Potter author JK Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.Moran told BBC Future: "I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家), really-you are more likely to be an observer."So, while extroverts make all the noise, they don’t ne cessarily have the best ideas.If you’re shy, you’ve probably known this for a long time. You just don’t shout about it.8. When someone is being called a wallflower, he is being ________.A. praised for his graceB. admired for his characterC. laughed at for his shynessD. told off for his nervousness9. The underlined phrase “bucks the trend” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A. going against the trend and succeedsB. changing the public idea completelyC. becoming unpopular and unacceptedD. becoming the major concern of people10. The author mentioned many famous shy people in order to ________.A. point out the harm shyness bringsB. disconnect shyness and successC. shows the reasons for shynessD. prove shyness contributes to science11. What is the author’s attitude towards shyness?A. Opposed.B. Indifferent.C. Supportive.D. Critical.DIf you’re DIY-minded, you can build your own solar power system. In some cases, you can even build your ownsolar panels (电池板), although the amount that you can effectively DIY home solar depends on how much you want to power. Making your own solar panel is a time-consuming process and requires some electrical skills. However, it can also be very rewarding-learning to build your own panel is a great way to understand how solarelectricity is generated.Before you can build your own solar panels, you first need to understand how solar cells generate electricity. Once you’ve bought individual solar cells (they can be purchased on line), the basic process for building your own solar panel goes like this: Prepare the backing for your panel. Many DIY solar panel builders prefer to use a wooden board as the base for their solar cell. You’ll need to drill holes in the board so that the wires for each cell can pass through. Wire your solar cells together. This requires some experience with electrical work. Use a soldering iron (烙铁) to attach wire to the solar cells and then link each of the cells together. Attach cells to your backing. If possible, attach each solar cell to the backing individually. This makes it easier to replace a single cell in the event that becomes damaged or is not operating properly.At this point you have a functional solar panel that can produce electricity when the sun shines. However, a solar panel by itself is not useful. If you are trying to generate electricity to power devices in your home, you need to pair your panel with an inverter (换流器) that will turn direct current (DC) power from the sun into the alternating current (AC) power used in most modern electronic devices.12. What does the author think of building DIY solar panel in the first paragraph?A. It is easy.B. It is necessary.C. It is commonD. It is worthwhile13. What’s the first step of building your own solar panels?A. Master the advanced knowledge- of management.B. Buy individual solar cells.C. Prepare the backing for your panel.D. Drill holes in the wooden board.14. Why are solar cells connected to the wooden board separately?A. To produce more power.B. To substitute damaged cells easily.C. To attach cells to the backing tightly.D. To pass through the wooden board easily.15. What can be inferred from the text?A. People with electrical skills have advantages over those without in DIY solar panels.B. A functional solar panel can give power to your home devices directly.C. How to pair an inverter depends on how much you want to power.D. a wooden board is a must for your own solar panels.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

That was, to be a steamboat man. We had temporary ambitions of other sorts, but they were only temporary.My father was a justice of the peace, and I supposed he possessed the power of life and death over all men and could hang anybody that offended him. This was distinction enough for me as a general thing;butthe desire to be a steamboat man kept intruding, nevertheless. One of our boys in town, who went away and was not heard of for-a long time, turned up as apprentice engineer on a steamboat. This thing shook the bottom out of all my Sunday—school teachings. That boy was notoriously worldly, and I was just the opposite. There was nothing generous about this fellow in his greatness. He would always manage to have a rusty nail to scrub while his boatstopped at our town, and he would sit on the inside guard and scrub it, where we could all see him. And wherever his boat was laid up he would come home and show off in the town in his blackest and greasiest clothes, so that nobody could help remembering that he was a steamboat man; and he used all sorts of steamboat technical terms in his talk, as if he were so used to them that he forgot common people could not understand them.This creature's career could produce but one result, and it was speedily followed. Boy after boy managed to get on the river. Despite many choices, pilot was the grandest position of all. The pilot, even in those days of trivial wages, had a princely salary—from 150—250 dollars a month, and no board payment.But our parents would not let us and our worry was the next year would find us hunting for jobs with low pay again. So by and by I ran away. I said I never would come home again till I was a pilot and could come in glory.4. Why does the writer mention his father's job in Paragraph 2?A. To show that his father was in power.B. To show that his father is cruel.C. To emphasize the job he prefers.D. To emphasize his love for his father.5. Which of the following can best conclude the writer's attitude toward the boy?A. He thought the boy was material but pitiful.B. He thought the boy was annoying but still envied him.C. He thought the boy was shallow but knowledgeable.D. He thought the boy was disrespectful but still liked him.6. Which of the following statements is Not True?A. The boy talked in a way to make others feel jealous.B. The boy's experience made other boys follow suit.C. The pilot's salary was ly high but without meals covered.D. The writer was ambitious to make his childhood dream come true.7. What rhetorical method does the underlined sentence have?A. Simile.B. Personification.C. Parallelism.D. Irony.CSalad plants have already been grown in old sheltersand tunnels. Urban farming is a regular topic of interest at places like the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, where leaders consider whether the world's food system, blamed for causing both obesity and malnutrition, can be fixed. There are already plenty of urban farming projects around the world, particularly in the US, Japan and the Netherlands, from urban fish and plant farms to vertical farming.“It's becoming an expanding industry,” said Richard Ballard, one of the founders of the farm Growing Underground. “There're several other businesses starting up in London in containers, and there are other vertical farms around the country now.”Growing Underground is not a standard farm. The rows of crops could be in almost any tunnel, but these plants are 100 feet below Clapham High Street and show that urban agriculture is, in some cases at least, nota fad. The underground farm has occupied a part of the Second World War air-raid shelters for nearly five years, and Ballard is planning to expand into the rest of the space later this year.Growing Underground supplies herb and salad mixes to grocery shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Being in London creates an advantage, Ballard says, as they can harvest and deliver in an hour.He adds other advantages. Being underground means temperatures never go below 15℃surface greenhouses need to be heated. They can do more harvests: 60 crops a year, compared with about seven in a traditional farm. Electricity to power the lights is a major cost, but the company believes renewable energy will become cheaper.Similar British companies include the Jones Food Company in Lincolnshire, while in the US AeroFarms has several projects in New Jersey, and Edenworks in Brooklyn.8. What do we know about urban farming?A. It leads to a healthier lifestyle.B. It is rarely discussed at the WEF.C. Different farming methods are used.D. Local governments pay efforts to develop it.9. Which of the following best explains "a fad" underlined in Paragraph 3?A. A dream that's easy to realize.B. A field controlled for a long time.C. An approach to a serious problem.D. A fashion that’s popular for a short time.10. What can we learn about the underground farm?A. It is more productive than a traditional farm.B. It provides food directly to the customers.C. Its major products are herbs and salads.D. It uses less energy than a greenhouse.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Current food system causes health problemsB. Growing Underground attracts more peopleC. Traditional farming will be replaced soonD. Urban farming isstill thought costly and time-consumingDKids ages 6 to13 inCape Town,South Africa, really do dig learning at school! With the help of the Earthchild Project,which is offered in schools in two townships, students make worm(蠕虫) farms. The worms break down food waste and make the soil richer. Kids grow seedlings(幼苗) in containers and learn about the importance of good nutrition.The school program also offers yoga(瑜伽). Teachers find that the exercises help students focus better. The students enjoy Earthchild activities. “The children gets so excited”, says teacher Vuyelwa Rola.“The society we are in has a lot of noise. When students are taking part in the Earthchild Project, they feel calm.”Director Janna Kretzmar came up with the idea for the project in 2005. She read about schools inIndiathat involved kids in yoga and learning outside the classroom. She developed the Earthchild Project to offer similar activities inCape Townschools.“We hope the Earthchild Project can help students find solutions to all the challenges they are facing in the world today,” Kretzmar said. “The best place to create change is with the youth, through education.”The Earthchild Project combines schoolwork with hiking, gardening, healthy living, and yoga. “We need more than just math and science to become happy, healthy, inspired, and active citizens of our communities,” says Kretzmar. In some communities inCape Town, children live in poverty. They must walk long distances to get clean drinking water. Life is hard. But according to the Earthchild Project’s Carly Appleby, the project works to give hope to every child. “Students who have hope,” she says, “aim for bigger goals”.12. What do students benefit from yoga?A. It helps them calm down.B. It helps them concentrate.C. They can learn some living skills.D. They can learn about the importance of nutrition.13. What are students’ attitude towards the Earthchild Project?A. Uncaring.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Negative.14. What do you know about the Earthchild Project?A. It was founded in 2005.B. It only offers outside activities.C. The idea came up by Vuyelwa Rola.D. It is aimed at helping students find solutions to challenges.15. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Hard Life inSouth Africa.B. Students’ school life inCape Town.C. Hope from Earthchild Project inCape Town.D. The differences between traditional lessons and Earthchild Project.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019-2020学年石家庄市第二中学高三英语下学期期中试卷及答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn September, something terrible happened on the west coast ofTasmania,Australia. As many as 380 pilot whales became stranded(搁浅) in shallow water there and later died. This might have beenAustralia’s largest stranding event on record, the BBC reported.But this large amount of whale stranding is not uncommon. For centuries, it has happened all over the world and has puzzled scientists. Scientists say the cause is often unknown. But they have offered many different explanations.Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying attention to where they are going.Others think the stranding has something to do with Earth’s geomagnetic field (地磁场). They say that a geomagnetic compass in whales’ brains controls their position. Unusual changes in Earth’s magnetic field can affect the whales’ compasses and send them in the wrong direction.Another explanation suggests that stranding is caused by the close relationships that whales have. Pilot whales travel in large groups. One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water. “And if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave,” said Sheryl Gibney, a leading biologist fromNew Zealand. “Some will come in and try to help, they get trapped on the beach, then more will come.”The whales are trapped by mistake or out of sympathy(同情). Once they get stranded, they will likely die. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of theUS, less than 10 percent of all stranded whales survive.1. What do we know about the stranding inAustralia?A. It happened on theeast coast ofAustralia.B. It caused the death of over 300 pilot whales.C. It is commonly seen in September each year.D. It was the largest stranding event in the world.2. According to Gibney, the pilot whales are the animals that________.A. are kind to each otherB. are easy to lose directionC. are too huge to float in the seaD.are silly to follow the leading whale3. What is the story mainly about?A. How human activity has affected whales.B. What might cause whale strandings.C. How whales find their direction while traveling.D. What scientists are doing to save stranded whales.BEarthquakes are a natural disaster—except when they're man-made. The oil and gas industry has forcefully used the technique known as hydraulic fracturing (水力压裂法) to destroy sub-surface rock and liberate the oil and gas hiding there. But the process results in large amounts of chemical-filled waste water. Horizontal drilling (水平钻孔) for oil can also produce large amount of natural, unwanted salt water. The industry deals with this waste water by pumping it into deep wells.On Monday, the US Geological Survey published for the first time an earthquake disaster map covering both natural and “induced” quakes. The map and a report show that parts of the central United States now face a ground-shaking disaster equal to the famously unstable terrain (不稳定地形) of California.Some 7 million people live in places easily attacked by these man-made quakes, the USGS said The list of places at highest risk of man-made earthquakes includes Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio and Alabama. Most of these earthquakes are ly small, in the range of magnitude (震级) 3, but some have been more powerful, including a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in 2011 in Oklahoma that was connected to waste water filling.Scientists said they do not know ifthere is an upper limit on the magnitude of man-made earthquakes; this is an area of active research Oklahoma has had prehistoric earthquakes as powerful as magnitude 7.It's not immediately clear whether this new research will change industry practices, or even whether it will surprise anyone in the areas of newly supposed danger. In Oklahoma, for example, the natural rate of earthquakes is only one or two a year, but there have been hundreds since hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, with the waste water filling, became common in the last ten years.4. What kind of human activities can cause earthquakes?A. The man-made produced waste water in the factories.B. The process of digging deep wells in those poor areas.C. The advanced techniques used to deal with waste water.D. The oil or gas industry's work connected with the earth.5. What does the underlined word “induced” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Man-made.B. Reduced.C. Newly-built.D. Controlled.6. How much magnitude can man-made earthquakes reach?A. It's been said as small as magnitude 3.B. It has been said as high as magnitude 7.C. It's being studied without a final conclusion.D. It has risen by an average of magnitude 5. 6.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Natural Earthquakes in America Are Disappearing NowB. 7 Million Americans at Risk of Man-Made EarthquakesC. Time for Oil and Gas Industry Change Their Working PracticeD. More Often Earthquakes as Powerful as Magnitude 7 in AmericaCZaki was small for his twelve years, and he was angry being treated as a child. Farid, his older brother, had been looked upon as a man long before he was Zaki’s age. Every day Farid and the other young Bahraini men went out in their wooden boats to dive for oysters (牡蛎). Many times Zaki begged to go along, but Faridalways refused to let him.So every day Zaki would go to the shallow water to practice. His grandfather, a former diver, would watch him and advise him. All morning, Zaki would practice diving beneath the waves. Every afternoon, again and again he would go underwater and hold his breath. With each day’s practice, his diving improved and he could hold his breath a little while longer. Soon Zaki felt as much at home in the water as he did out of it.Zaki rose early one day. He wanted to compete with his brother. They dived beneath the waves. Zaki opened his eyes and found himself looking into his brother’s face. Farid was smiling with confidence. Slowly, the smile was disappearing from Farid’s face. As more seconds passed, a worried look appeared on Farid’s face. Farid was realizing that Zaki could possibly beat him. Looking into Farid’s eyes, Zaki suddenly understood what losing could mean to his brother. Never would the villagers allow him to live it down. He would be laughed at by losing to alittle child. Almost without thinking, Zaki kicked his feet and rose to the surface of the water a second before Farid’s head appeared beside him.The men around them cheered and patted Farid on the back. Farid, however, put his arm around Zaki’s shoulders. “Today,” Farid announced, “we shall have a new diver among us.” Then quietly, for Zaki’s ears alone, he said “Thank you, my brother.” And Zaki knew that they both had learned that it takes more than strength to makea man.8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Zaki’s grandfather was a good diver.B. Zaki liked staying at home every day.C. Zaki practised hard in the water daily.D. Zaki’s grandfather encouraged him to dive.9. Which of the following best describes Zaki according to paragraph 3?A. Considerate.B. Ambitious.C. Confident.D. Adventurous.10. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Farid beat his little brother easily.B. Zaki was as strong as his brother.C. Zaki regretted losing the competition.D. Both Farid and Zaki had grown up.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Farid’s PrideB. Zaki’s ChallengeC. Brothers’ CompetitionD. Grandfather’s AdviceDSlowing down was the last thing on Elaine Schaefer's mind when she turned 70 last year. She'd enjoyed an ambitious travel schedule for the previous decade. She didn't feel too old to travel.Yet many people are asking that slightly embarrassing question: Can you be too old to travel? The travel industry has already responded. Try renting a car inEurope, for example. InCroatia, Schaefer wouldn't be able to this year, because the maximum age is 70. Insurance companies require higher rates; tour operators limit certain activities. That feels like a " no" for many travelers.Definitely some folks should think twice before traveling, but not only based on their age. It's their level of fitness,says Kirsten Veldman, a former tour guide who now edits a retirement blog. She recalls a 93-year-old who was disabled and traveling alone on aCaribbeantour. "You can't expect to ask a tour leader to be there for you 24/7 for medical care. " she says. "Tour guides don't have the time, skills, and knowledge for it. So, in this case, my advice is: he shouldn't have traveled with us in this situation. "But some tour operators serve older travelers. For example, Grand Circle Travel started in 1958 to serve senior members. “We have travelers into their 80s and even 90s. Some travel as a couple and some alone,” says company spokeswoman Ann Shannon. “We have no age limit.”If you ask travel experts, they'll tell you that age is just a number. It's a question of physical, and to a certain extent, mental ability. "Many of our travelers are retired, focused on keeping their good health, and are experienced travelers who have a good idea of what to expect, "says Sara Baer-Sinnott, president of Oldways, a food and nutrition nonprofit that operates tours. "Someone in their 40's may struggle more than someone in their 80s. "12. What is expected if Schaefer travels inCroatiathis year?A. She can rent a car to go around.B. She has to pay more insurance fees.C. She can join in all kinds of activities.D. She will receive 24/7 medical care.13. What caused Veldman to disapprove of the 93-year-old's traveling?A. His old age.B. His lack of money.C. His poor health.D. His in sociable personality.14. What do we know about Grand Circle Travel?A. It is a non-profit traveling organization.B. It offers service to a wide range of travelers.C. It has a history of more than seven decades.D. Its main customers are senior travelers.15. What is the authors altitude towards traveling old?A. Opposed.B. Supportive.C. Tolerant.D. Objective.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

河北省石家庄市二中教育集团2022-2023学年高二年级第二学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解We are Dr. David and Shannon Biegel, founders of the popular vacation website (established 2008). We’d like to briefly introduce the following parks to you.Glacier (冰川) National Park is unquestionably one of the most beautiful places on this planet. It is home to hundreds of glacier-carved peaks, over 600 lakes, hundreds of rivers waterfalls and streams, and over 730 miles of maintained hiking trails. Glacier National Park is known as “The Crown of the Continent” and the “American Alps” for a good reason—this place is so beautiful that words cannot begin to describe it.Yellowstone National Park is one of the most amazing places on the planet and is indeed one of America’s most famous symbols. Created in 1872, Yellowstone National Park is the world’s first national park. It is even older than Tongariro National Park. And Yellowstone Park was created 4 years before Custer’s Last Stand at the Battle of the Little Bighorn! This magical wonderland is one of America’s most valued treasures.Grand Teton National Park is home-to-one of the most famous mountain ranges on Earth. The Teton Range is not only a mountain climber’s paradise (天堂), but it is also so beautiful that you’ll find that you’ve walked right into a beautiful post card! Grand Teton National Park is breathtaking, and it’s all yours to explore and discover. We absolutely love Grand Teton National Park and we’re really excited to share everything we know about it with you!Our passion for National Parks shines through in everything we do. Let our passion for these parks, as well as our knowledge, help you plan the trip of a lifetime. You have one chance to plan your vacation right. We will show you exactly where to go, what to do, where to see animals and where to stay. Call us at 406-404-0222 and let’s start planning your trip today!1.What do we know about the national parks in the text?A.Glacier National Park is the most beautiful park.B.Grand Teton National Park is printed on post cards.C.Yellowstone National Park is the oldest national park.D.Tongariro National Park is near Yellowstone National Park.2.Which national park is favored by mountain climbers?A.Glacier National Park B.Grand Teton National Park C.Tongariro National Park D.Yellowstone National Park3.Where is this text probably taken from?A.A book review B.A travel advertisementC.A news report D.A course planTammy Ruggles always wanted to be a photographer. In her First Person V ox narrative, she writes, “I’d always loved taking pictures. Ever since I was a little girl, taking photos of my family and pets with the Kodak camera has been my favorite hobby.”But like her driver’s license and social work career, Ruggles accepted that photography was something she would have to give up due to Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a progressive blinding disease that worsens the retinas (视网膜) over time. Ruggles is legally blind, only capable of making out unclear shapes. How could she practice an art form that is only dependent on vision, if she had none?That’s when Ruggles heard of point and-shoot digital cameras which didn’t necessitate a dark room, exact precision, or changing manual (手动) settings. Ruggles went to her backyard, pressing the shutter at shapes as an experiment. After transferring the images to black and white on her 47-inch monitor (she sees best in contrast), she noticed little things she had never seen even prior to losing her vision—blueberries in some brush, wild pumpkins at the edge of the woods, individual leaves on a tree. And with that her camera became her eyes, capturing things she herself couldn’t see and had never seen.Ruggles now considers her vision problem a plus to her photography. Unlike most photographers who visualize what they want their photo to look like, Ruggles approaches her art with zero preconceived (预想的) ideas about what she hopes to capture. With her loss of vision, Ruggles gained another pair of eyes—ones that can see the hidden beauty of the world around her.4.What do we know about Ruggles?A.She was born blind.B.She is fond of photography.C.She has got her driver’s license.D.She’s still taking pictures with the Kodak camera.5.Which of the following can best describe Ruggles?A.Brave and ambitious.B.Confident and optimistic. C.Generous and gifted.D.Helpful and sincere.6.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Ruggles will give up shooting due to her loss of vision.B.Ruggles imagines the photos in her mind before shooting.C.Ruggles views her vision issue as a strength to her photography.D.Ruggles has achieved great success because she can see the hidden beauty.7.What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A.To call on people to protect eyes.B.To help people be a good photographer.C.To promote point-and-shoot digital camerasD.To praise the photographer’s bravery and perseverance.Yesterday, after a day of Zoom (视频会议软件) meetings in my living room, I stepped out for a walk leaving my teen son bored on the couch. Bleecker Street, usually packed with people, was sprinkled with only the occasional pedestrians. Bars and restaurants lining the street were dark. Stores with bright neon lights, doors open, beckoned for the rare passers-by to enter. After just a week of the Covid-19 pandemic, an afternoon walk in Greenwich Village neighborhood felt surreal.But then I noticed a row of daffodils(水仙)reaching for the sun in the smalltriangle-shaped park by Minetta Lane. On the windows of a locked restaurant, in bright yellow paint, were the words “We love you, West Village. Take care of each other. ” My phone buzzed—a colleague sent a picture of her newborn baby just home from the hospital. I arrived home to find my son animated on the couch playing a video game virtually with his friends. Life, love, play, and human connection persist, even though our world has been tuned upside down.In my welcome note to the new students in the Fall, I wrote that this year is about our college’s core values of inclusion, innovation, and impact and emphasized the power of interconnection. Today, these core values persist, with interconnection taking on even greatersignificance. Our collaborative spirit has always given us an advantage—academically, creatively, culturally, and now, remotely.A wise person once told me that getting through a crisis is like being given a new hand of cards in the middle of a game. We are halfway through the semester, with new hands to play, but the game hasn’t changed. We will find new ways to continue to work, teach, create and learn. Let’s also continue the informal interactions that make us a community—the study groups, coffee dates, drop-ins just to say hello. In doing so, we will remain connected.We will come together, from spaces around the world, to meet this new reality. This is who we are. Nothing—not space, nor time—can keep us from moving forward, together. 8.What can be inferred from paragraph 1?A.The Covid-19 pandemic is unstoppable.B.The effects of the pandemic could be easily felt.C.Nothing is the same except that the business goes slow as usual.D.People have every reason to be worried about the future.9.What does the writer include in paragraph 2?A.Daily routines that seemed insignificant.B.Reminders that the world has been changed.C.Events that people can do during the pandemic.D.Things or people that carry symbolic meanings.10.What does the underlined word “collaborative” mean in paragraph 3? A.Cooperative.B.Pioneering.C.Independent.D.Adventurous. 11.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To express wisdom gained from previous experience.B.To give people some tips on how to handle a crisis.C.To deliver an uplifting message over the pandemic.D.To encourage people to enjoy the great outdoors.The rise of the robots has raised the possibility of a future where there is simply less wok for humans to do. To tired office workers, a world where we all have a bit more leisure time sounds rather nice. Yet what really matters is how work will be distributed across the workforce.The recent past shows there is no reason to believe it will be evenly (均衡地) spread.The length of the average working week in the UK has declined steadily from about 59 hours in the mid-19th century to 32 hours in 2009. But averages hide a lot.While trends among women have been stable, there have been big shifts among men. Males in well-paid full-time employment are now working slightly longer hours on average than two decades ago. Meanwhile, men in full-time employment at the bottom of the wage ladder are working much less.On top of that, the number of low-paid men who work part-time has increased sharply. Twenty years ago, one in 20 men with low hourly wages worked part-time; today it is one in five. Analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies shows this phenomenon is only happening among the low-paid. In better-paying jobs, part-time men are still fairly rare. Gender roles within families might tend to be similar too. Low-paid men may be choosing to shoulder more childcare responsibilities so their partners can return to work.Yet it is clear that the distribution of work will matter to people. Britain has both overemployment and underemployment problems: official data show 3.4m people in Britain want to work more hours while 3.2m want to work few hours for less pay. The underemployed are likely to be waiters or cleaners. The overemployed are most likely to be doctors or chief executives. This indicates an economy where demand and supply of skills are out of sync.Nobody knows for sure how the next wave of automation will shake up demand for different skills. Perhaps doctors will gain the free time they desire. Others might find themselves in greater demand. But short of us developing a much better system for training people quickly for the jobs economy needs, it seems likely that in the future—as now—there will be too much work for some, and too little for others.12.What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?A.The development of robots will get rid of humans’ work.B.Future leisure time will be allocated evenly across the workforce.C.UK has taken some measures to stop the decline of working hours.D.The averages may not be the accurate indicators of the steady decline of working hours. 13.What can we learn from the analysis by Institute for Fiscal Studies?A.Low-paid men are to blame for the low employment.B.More well-paid men are choosing to work part-time.C.Part-time men have increased only among the low-paid.D.Part-time men rarely shoulder childcare responsibilities.14.What do the underlined words “out of sync” mean in paragraph 5?A.Important.B.Imbalanced.C.Undoubted.D.Harmful. 15.What is the text mainly about?A.The total amount of human labor will be decreased.B.Better training systems will be built across the world.C.Robots contribute to uneven distribution across the workforce.D.The number of low-paid men who work part-time has increased.二、七选五Whether they are furry, feathered or scaly (多鳞的), the non-human members of your family help you in more ways that you knōw. ____16____ .They keep you active. If you have a dog, chances are that you’re walking it at least30minutes a day, and likely more — an activity that goes a long way towards keeping you fit.They boost your immune system. Growing up indoors in disinfected spaces later causes our bodies to over-react to harmless substances, making us more allergic. As is often the case, pets have muddy paws, abundant furs and affection for licking (舔) us. ____17____.They lower your risk of a fatal heart attack. Researchers found that cat owners had a30per cent lower risk of dying of a heart attack. ____18____. The researchers assumed — and most cat owners would agree — that cats’ unbothered nature has a calming effect. Spending time with any pet lowers stress, an important contributor to heart disease.They help you manage a chronic disease. ____19____, animals always keep their owners busy — and that can be a good thing for chronic disease sufferers of all types. When distracted from the pain. they will perceive less pain, and therefore they are in less pain.____20____. Studies have shown that pet ownership is beneficial for people with depression, anxiety, PTSD.and other long-term mental health conditions. Pet owners themselves report that their animal pals benefit them mentally a lot, like providing emotional support and helping them form social bonds.A.They also improve your mental healthB.They contribute a lot to our strong bodyC.With the considerate care from the ownersD.Here are some ways that your pet pal benefits youE.With their regular tasks of feeding, walks and playF.They introduce more bacterial diversity that our body adapts toG.But you may wonder how it comes about without taking a cat for walks三、完形填空I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to24.A.right B.chance C.ability D.patience 25.A.going for B.looking for C.cheering for D.accounting for 26.A.reputation B.courage C.wisdom D.commitment 27.A.enjoying B.preparing C.attending D.watching 28.A.frightened B.astonished C.amazed D.confused 29.A.Essentially B.Fortunately C.Obviously D.Hopefully 30.A.focus B.act C.rely D.try 31.A.occasionally B.monthly C.frequently D.rarely 32.A.mature B.competitive C.distinct D.specific 33.A.expressed B.improved C.restored D.recognised 34.A.dreaming B.playing C.relaxing D.hiding 35.A.lucky B.happy C.convinced D.satisfied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。
