I am stepping into the magical world of chemicals with lots of doubt. I did lots ofsome of them were caused by carelessness, and some of them resulted from a lack(缺少) ofcarefully and learn from my wrong answers.Luckily, my chemistry teacher also 17 a new learning method to me. He thought that I didn’t understand and remember basic concepts and formulas(概念和公式). So he asked me to 18 the important points. To help students like me strengthen our learning and ask questions actively, he also created a QQ group. He sent pages of exercises to us and gave us feedback(反馈) soon. If we don’t understand his corrections, he will explain them 19 us patiently.With the help of my teacher and my own hard work, I 20 my monthly exam score by two points this month.

They give young people the chance to not only enjoy arts but also learn the value of culture. Generally, in Japan, moststudents learn about different cultures only by reading textbooks at school. However, it’s very important for them to understand cultures “directly”. By watching works of art directly, it’s possible for students to get something that textbooks can’t give them. For that reason, I believe that museums should be free.—NorikaArt creates life and life is valuable. Giving something a value of $0 does not attract(吸引) people to it, and nor does it encourage them to value it. Human beings usually look up to things that are difficult or expensive to get a better way is to ask regular visitors to pay to visit museums but provide free tickets for students having lessons there.—LindaMuseums need money to support themselves and protect museum collections(收藏品). Artists should be thanked and respected for their hard work, and museum workers need to be paid. For all these museums need money. If you don’t have to pay to enter a museum, how will the museum keep running?—RichardWhy should you have to pay to learn? You shouldn’t! The museum gift shops make money. My point is, think of all the people who don’t get to go to museums because they don’t have the money. Museums are so fun but many people don’t get to experience them.—Vina21．How do most students in Japan learn different cultures?A．By reading textbooks.B．By going to museums.C．By watching works of art.D．By visiting different places.22．Why is Linda against free museums?A．Museum workers need to be paid.B．People won’t value free things.C．Museums need money to keep running. D．Museums are places for students to learn. 23．How does Richard suggest museums keep running?A．By bringing in more famous works of art.B．By receiving help from thegovernment.C．By getting more volunteers.D．By asking visitors to pay.24．What is Vina’s point?A．More gift shops are needed.B．Museums are boring sometimes.C．Museums should be free so that people can get to experience them.D．Some people shouldn’t be allowed to go to museums.25．Who cares whether poor people can go to museums?A．Norika.B．Linda.C．Richard.D．Vina.Kenneth Riggins and his daughter, Angelica, then 5 years old, had fallen asleep on the sofa in their house when he was woken up around 2 a.m. by their dogs and the smell of smoke. He followed the smell to a small room next to a back bedroom. “I opened the door, and the fire came in the doorway,” says Riggins, a high school teacher and single dad. After pushing the door shut, he ran to the living room and woke up Angelica, shouting at her to get out quickly.Angelica, who had recently attended a fire demonstration(消防演习) at her school led by Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog, knew exactly what to do. “The smoke was everywhere, so I crawled (爬) under it and out of the house, just like Sparkles taught me,”Angelica says. “I was really afraid, but I moved as fast as I could.” She ran straight to the home of a neighbor, who called 911. When the firefighters arrived a few minutes later, Angelica told them she hadn’t seen her dad and that he might still be in the house.She was right. After getting out, Riggins had returned to look for a friend’s 5-year-old girl who had been staying with them. “I was unable to think clearly because of all the smoke and I forgot her mom had picked her up earlier,” he says. Firefighters found Riggins unconscious(失去知觉的) in the living room. As they carried him out of the front door, the back of the house blew up. It was later found out that some old electrical wiring(电线线路) had caused the fire. Riggins spent the next week in the hospital with some burns, but he’s healthy now. “If Angelica hadn’t run to our neighbors for help, I wouldn’t have made it.” Riggins saysSince the fire, Angelica and her dad have moved to a home across the street from their old one.26．What did Riggins do before waking up Angelica?A．He opened the bedroom door.B．He ran out of the living room.C．He put his dogs in a safe place.D．He found out where the smoke was from. 27．What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A．The smoke.B．The doorway.C．The sofa.D．The door.28．What did Angelica do after getting out?A．She asked her neighbor to leave.B．She helped the firefighters.C．She asked for help.D．She called 911.29．Why did Riggins return to the house?A．To clear the smoke.B．To look for a person.C．To pick up a girl’s things.D．To repair the electrical wiring. 30．What is the best title for the text?A．A Little Girl Put Out a Fire B．A Little Girl Got Away from FireC．A Little Girl Attended a Fire Demonstration D．A Little Girl Saved Dad fromBurning HomeIf you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. Maybe you feel proud of yourselves? But what do other people think about your generation?Some adults think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phones so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends and family.Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt(溺爱) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”. They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program. Because of this, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. More young people volunteer to help their neighborhoods. There are also brave young people such as Malala.Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights of going to school in poor areas.So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud. 31．Which of the following is an oh-oh?A．A girl who is good-looking.B．A girl who is smart.C．A boy who was born in 1999.D．A boy who was born in 2004. 32．The oh-ohs are thought as the “face-down generation” because they ________.A．use their phones too much B．need to study hard in schoolC．are interested in younger friends D．are more creative than their parents 33．What do “helicopter parents” do for their children?A．They help them to face the challenges.B．They do the homework instead of them.C．They guide and plan everything for them.D．They keep them away from after-school activities.34．The underlined word “rights” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.A．somebody that leads a community B．somebody that looks after teenagersC．something that people volunteer to do D．something that people are allowed to do 35．What does the passage tell us?A．Parents should put down their phones.B．Young people should be better educated.C．The neighborhoods should care about teenagers.D．The oh-ohs should be hopeful about the future.We do not know when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been usedfish 3,000 years ago. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve the dead.Stealing salt was considered a major crime during some periods of history. In the 18th century, if a person was caught stealing salt, he could be put in prison and his ears could be cut.In the Roman Empire, one of the most important roads was the one that carried salt. Guards were stationed(就位) along the route(路线) to protect against salt thieves; and they received their pay(报酬) in salt, thus bringing the English word, salary. Any guard who fell asleep while on duty was thought to be “not worth his salt”, and as a result he would get less salt on his next payday. The expression, “not worth his salt”, is still used today in English.In the modern world, salt has many uses besides eating. It is used in making glass and airplane parts, in the growing of crops, and in the killing of weeds(杂草). It is also used to make water soft, to melt(融化) ice on roads and highways, to make soap and to fix colors in cloth.Salt can be got in many other ways besides the underground mines. Salt water from theocean, salt water lakes or small seas can be used to make salt. Yet, no matter where it comes from, salt will continue to play an important role in the lives of people everywhere.36．In the Roman Empire, many people were employed as guards to ________.A．protect the city of Rome B．watch people carrying saltC．stop thieves from stealing salt D．carry salt from the mines to Rome 37．The expression “not worth his salt” used today refers to the one who ________.A．fails to do his work well B．should not be paid in saltC．doesn’t go to work at all D．should use less salt38．According to the text, today, salt can be used to ________.A．keep dead bodies B．punish thievesC．pay guards D．make industrial products39．What does the underlined word “evidence” mean in the last paragraph ________?A．故事B．资料C．证据D．事件40．The main purpose of the text is to tell readers ________.A．how salt was found and got B．salt is important in people’s lifeC．salt was difficult to get in the past D．what salt brings to the English language 四、短文综合填空(tell) to live with a host family for two weeks.

We walked over the Millennium Bridge, enjoyed the waterways and took many 50 (picture) of The Shard. We had a good time. The trip was helpful to improve my English. It was also a way to lean the culture and history of another country.五、完形填空When I arrived in Hamburg Germany, my colleague who worked there arranged a welcome party for me in a restaurant.

When we were leaving the restaurant, we 53 someone calling us. When the old ladies spoke to us in English, we understood that they were unhappy about us wasting so much food.“We 54 for our food, it is none of your 55 no matter how much food we left behind”, my colleague told the old ladies. They got angry, and one of them 56 made a call to someone. After a while, an officer in uniform arrived. Upon finding what had happened, he issued us a 50-euro 57 . The officer told us in a stern(严厉的) voice, “Order what you can consume. Money is yours, but the resources belong to the society. You have no 58 for wasting them.” Our face turned red.We all agreed with him in our hearts. My colleague took out a 50-euro note and repeatedly 59 to the officer.My colleague copied the fine ticket and gave a copy to each of us as a souvenir. We all kept it to remind us that we should never be 60 .51．A．cooked B．gathered C．served D．missed 52．A．unconsumed B．undeveloped C．undiscovered D．undetermined 53．A．appointed B．heard C．realized D．knew 54．A．asked B．paid C．applied D．accounted 55．A．matter B．mind C．business D．question 56．A．passively B．immediately C．excitedly D．regularly 57．A．fine B．food C．award D．souvenir 58．A．ability B．problem C．power D．reason 59．A．approved B．accused C．admitted D．apologized 60．A．hopeful B．wasteful C．merciful D．grateful六、短文综合填空I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job.

Our Amazing HandsThe hand is where the mind meets the world. We use our hands to build fires, to fly airplanes, and to write. The human brain, with its open-ended creativity, may be the thing that makes the human race unique. But without hands, all the ideas we think up would come to nothing.____36____ Study it carefully, you will find something interesting. The thumb (拇指) alone is controlled by nine separate muscles. The wrist is a group of bones and muscles connected with nerves (神经). The nerves send branches into each fingertip, which makes the fingers extremely flexible. ____37____Early hands seemed more unusual and interesting than any hand today. Some animals had seven fingers. Others had eight. But by the time vertebrates (脊椎动物) appeared 340 million years ago, the hand had developed to only five fingers. ____38____Nevertheless, there are still many different types of hands in living animals. After years of research, scientists are beginning to understand the molecular (分子的) changes in hands. ____39____ This makes the hands of different animals very similar. There is a network of many genes (基因) that builds a hand, and all hands are built on that network.The discovery has given scientists a deeper understanding of the development of hands. A bird’s wing and a lion’s paw (爪) may appear to have nothing in common. ____40____ It may just be a little more of one protein (蛋白) here, a little less of another there. In the past, scientists could recognize only the outward signs that hands had developed from a common ancestor. Today scientists are uncovering the inward signs as well.A. Hands can often be used for a number of different purposes.B. They also see that all hands start out in much the same way.C. It has kept that number for reasons scientists don’t yet know.D. No one would doubt that the five fingers are different with each other.E. But the difference between them may come down to a tiny change in form.F. The reason we can use our hands for so many things is their special structure.G. So you can see a skilled watchmaker use his hands to set springs in place under a microscope.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）36．F 37．G 38．C 39．B 40．E北京市海淀区2021届高三英语第一学期期中练习第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

There are now well over 1,000 colleges and universities that don’t require SAT or ACT scores in deciding whom to admit, a number that is growing every year. 61 new study finds that scores on these tests are of little value in predicting students’ performance in college, and 62 (raise) the question: Should those tests be required at all?When a college considers test-optional admissions policies, the first 63 (react) people feel is that the college will admit less 64 (qualify) students. Actually, more students from diverse backgrounds 65 (admit) to colleges abolishing test scores and students graduate at a higher rate. 66 , some researchers question the impact the policies have had 67 schools. They argue that 68 the study is showing can’t prove test scores can be an obstacle for students. But two years’ worth of data clearly indicate that students who go into university with high test scores perform no better than 69 (they) fellow students. So the70 (add) value of test scores in predicting performance is minimal.If a college wants to do a better job serving traditionally under-served populations, test optional policies can provide a very useful tool. 第二节(共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分)61.

The lake’s fish have provided him with a way to earn money to support his extended family. How-ever, becausehe can’t catch enough fish to feed his family, he now raises farm animals. But as temperatures rise, evaporation increases, making the body of water shrinks. Studies have linked rising temperatures on Earth’s surface to climate change.The lake is shrinking, so are the chances of his children becoming fishermen. “If things go on like this, I don’t think our children can become fishermen like us. They will have to choose other jobs,” the 56-year-old Traore said. “During the rainy season, there is a lot of water but as soon as it’s over, there is no water leftin the lake. We are fishermen. I don’t think our children will be,” he said.Lake Wegnia is in the Sahel region of Koulikoro, around 120 kilometers north of Mali’s capital, Bamako. Some 12,000 people, including fishermen and farmers, depend on it for food, water and employment. But the lake has shrunk by 20 percent since 2017.The UN expects temperatures there to increase 1.5 times higherthan the average increase worldwide. UN officials note that the flooding and a severe lack of rainfall can cause problems in the Sahel: Food insecurity, the fight over farmland and the fast population growth can lead to conflict.Aid group is leading the Eco-Lac Wegnia project. The group is working to improve water management and fight the effects of global warming. Moussa Savagodo is Eco-Lac Wegnia’s local representative. He says that failing to make changes quickly can mean the lake will disappear completely in less than 5 years.People in the rural areas Wegnia and Kononi-Sirakoro have planted 56,000 trees in the past two years. And they are better controlling their water by building stone barriers to help the soil keep the rain that does fall. The progress and international official support are not enough for them, however. More and more people are turning to other agriculture.【小题1】How did Traore work to support his family in the past? A．By fishing. B．By raising farm animals.C．By taking charge of the lake.

A．Drought and flood will directly cause conflict.B．Reducing population is a way to protect the lake.C．Water management makes no difference to the lake.D．The rise in temperature will cause water resource problems.【小题4】What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?A．The local officials. B．The Aid group members.C．The villagers. D．The representatives.4. A new study suggests drinking coffee as soon as someone wakes up from a poor night's sleep greatly affects metabolism (新陈代谢) and blood sugar control.In the study, published in the British Journal of Nutrition, UK researchers let 29 healthy men and women take part in three different overnight experiments. In the first two scenes, participants were given a sugary drink upon waking-first from a normal night's sleep, and then again after a poor night's sleep during which they were woken up for five minutes every hour. In the third, their sleep wassimilarly disrupted, but they were given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming the sugary drink.Blood samples from participants were taken following the sugary drink, which mirrored the calories of a typical breakfast, in each experiment. Results showed that one night of disrupted sleep did not worsen the participants' blood sugar responses at breakfast when compared to a normal night of sleep. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast in-creased the blood sugar response by around 50 percent.By drinking such kind of drink after breakfast, UK researchers found that our bodies' ability to break down our food healthily is completely improved. Examining the effects of bro-ken sleep and. morning coffee across a range of different metabolic markers, scientists at the University of Bath found that, while one night of poor sleep had a limited effect on metabolism, drinking coffee before breakfast could have a negative effect on blood sugar control.“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee—the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee is. This study is important and has far-reaching health influences, and it indeed moves some coffee drinkers' heartstrings. As up to now we have had limited knowledge about what this is doing to our bodies, in particular for our metabolic and blood sugar control, so we have a long way to go.” said Professor James Betts, co-director of the Centre for Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism at the University of Bath.【小题1】How did UK researchers get the result of the experiment? A．By assumption. B．By making comparisons.C．By questionnaire. D．By consulting journals.【小题2】What can we learn from the experiment?A．One night of poor sleep surely affects blood sugar.B．Drinking coffee after breakfast does harm to health.C．Having strong drinks has a good effect on metabolism.D．Drinking coffee at different time has different effects on health. 【小题3】What does James Betts think of the study?A．It makes no sense. B．It is limited and blind.C．It remains to be continued. D．It is particular and explicit. 【小题4】What can be the best title for the text?A．How. Much Coffee to Drink MattersB．Does Coffee Really Wake Up an Appetite?C．Drinking Coffee before Breakfast Harms MetabolismD．How Does Drinking Black Coffee Affect People's Sleep?二、七选五5.
