She doesn’t let her 23 stop her from doing anything that she wants to.She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest 24 is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to 25 your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go.” says Lola.To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave.

People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people whostudied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.36. A good title for this reading passage is______.A. Popeye the SailorB. The Truth About SpinachC.A Mistake with NumbersD. Folic Acid Makes You Strong37. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A. People liked folic acid.B. They thought Popeye was funny.C. Spinach had a lot of iron.D. They thought spinach made them strong.38. A research group told people that spinach______.A. made Popeye strongB. was a green vegetableC. had less iron than other green vegetablesD. had more iron than other green vegetables39. The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.A. ironB. spinachC. folic acidD. exerciseBThe booking notes of the play “the Age of Innocence”:Price: ＄10BOOKINGThere are four easy ways to book seats for performance:------ in personThe Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a. m. -8 p. m.------ by telephoneRing 01324976 to reserve your tickets or to pay by credit card （Visa, MasterCard and Amex accepted）------ by postSimply plete the booking form and return it to Global Theatre Box Office. ------ on lineplete the on-line booking form at .

But they don’t e out because of what yourfriends say or because you think that only a few people can be creative geniuses (天才). And, you, of course, think that you couldn’t be one of them. But actually, this is not true at all.Anyone who is a creative genius will tell you that creativity is very much like a muscle that needs to be developed. If you don’t learn how to develop creative thinking, this skill, just like a muscle, will bee poor and useless. On the other hand, keep working at it, and this skill will soon be ready for action whenever you need it. So how do you develop your own personal style of creative thinking?You should realize that your brain has a greater capacity (容量) and a higher speed than the world’s biggest and fastest puter. So it’s important to get as much information as you can every day. Read, watch and listen to everything around you —good and bad. The more you know, the more you’ll want to know, and the more your brain will be exercised.Try something new every day and let your experiences show you more about the world and people around you. You need to step out of your fort zone (舒适地带) more and more each day.Follow these suggestions, and begin thinking beyond your "limits" from today. You’ll soon have a life full of interesting and exciting adventures. Who knows, your idea might be the next great idea to change the world.43. Most people can’t be creative geniuses because th ey _______.A. don’t have great ideasB. don’t want to develop their ideasC. are too shy to talk about their ideasD. don’t believe they can be44. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph means ________.A. creative thinkingB. the muscleC. personal styleD. great capacity45. What do we learn from the passage?A. No puter can store as much information as human’s brain.B. It is not necessary to remember everything around you.C. Try something new, as long as you are fortable with it.D. It is harder to exercise the brain than the muscles46. The passage is intended to tell readers _________.A. how they can learn from creative geniusesB. about ways to develop their creative thinkingC. about the importance of exercising the musclesD. the reasons why they can’t be creative geniusesDA few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house，the same house I grew up in，I had a sudden，scary realization．When my parents bought the house，in 1982，they were only two years older than I am now．I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later．It seemed ridiculous．On a practical level，there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon．More importantly，I wouldn’t want to．I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years，or what kind of job I’ll have．And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place．So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents．When our parents were our age，they’d got their education，chosen a career，and were starting to settle into responsibleadult lives．My friends and I--“Generation Y”--still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives．Whatever we end up doing，we want to make sure we’re happy doing it．We’d rather take risks first，try out different jobs，and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place．We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account．This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”(自大的), “impatient”, and “overprotected”．Some of these plaints have a point．As children, we were encouraged to succeed in school，but also to have fun．We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cell phones，the Internet，instant messaging，and video games．Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top，on the same track，often for the same pany．That doesn’t apply to my generation．Because of that，it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible，stable adulthood．But that’s not necessarily a bad thing．Inour desire to find satisfaction，we will work harder，strive for ways to keep life interesting，and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did．47．When the author walked through her parents’ house，she _______. A．had no idea what she wanted from lifeB．realized I should buy a houseC．started to think about her own lifeD．wondered why her parents had settled down early48．What is the main “generation gap” between the author and her friends and their parents according to the article?A．Their attitude toward responsibility．B．Their ways of making their way to the top．C．Their ways of gaining experience．D．Their attitude towards high technology．49．Which of the following might the author agree with?A．It’s better to take adult responsibility earlier．B. It’s all right to try more bef ore settling down．C．It involves too much effort to rise vertically．D．It’s ridiculous to call her generation “arrogant”.50．What is the main theme of the article?A．The sudden realization of growing up.B．Criticisms of the young generation.C．A parison between lifestyles of generations.D．The factors that have changed the young generation.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C or D. Choose the one that suits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThey say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early; my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizona’s famous heat se emed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.The next day, after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon – by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!”When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I’d suggest a fourth buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.66. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. They made a careful preparation before the tripB. They children were more joyful than their parents.C. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.D. The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.67.The underlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means _____________. .A. we were weakB. we were unhappyC. we were dissatisfiedD. we were disappointed68. Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?A. It proved to be frightening.B. It was more fortableC. It turned out to be excitingD. It made each of them tired.69. We can infer from the passage that ____________. .A. experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best wayB. one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon.C. the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion.D. the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.BChina news, Beijing, Feb. 9 –Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property developers and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low pared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows that there are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market, the International Finance News reported.Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted to Renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses can not be pared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore, it should be noted that American people’s average ine is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in US?At the beginning of xx, Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers. At the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.70. According to the passage, what is the average housing price per square meter in China?A. 8000 yuanB. 10000 yuanC. 7000 yuanD. It’s not mentioned here71. Which of the following does NOT support the idea that the average housingprice in China is even higher than in the United States?A. Chinese houses can not be pared with houses in US in terms of buildingquality, environment and supporting facilities.B. American people’s average ine is several dozen times higher than thatof Chinese people.C. The houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chineseproperty developers do when they sell their houses.D. There are more people who need houses in China.72. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The housing price in China is so high that the government should dosomething useful to prevent it.B. There are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market.C. The average housing price in China is even higher than in the United States.D. Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.73. How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing prices?A. FourB. ThreeC. FiveD. TwoCSome futurologists have assumed that the vast increase of women in the workforce may portend (预示) a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The opposite of this concern is that the prospects of being a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to put off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy es to life, the number of marriages also rises.The increase in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact o f a wife’s work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible(似是而非的). Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role i n ending a marriage. By raising a family’s standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family’s financial and emotional stability.Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union.Also, a major part of women’s inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.74. It is said in the passage that when the economy slides_____.A. men would choose working women as their marriage partnersB. more women would get married to seek financial securityC. even working women would worry about their marriagesD. more people would prefer to remain single for the time being75. If women find fulfillment through work outside the home,_____.A. they are more likely to dominate their marriage partnersB. their husbands are expected to do more houseworkC. their marriage ties can be strengthenedD. they tend to put their career before marriage76. One reason why women with no career may seek a divorce is that_____.A. they feel that they have been robbed of their freedomB. they are afraid of being bossed around by their husbandsC. they feel that their partners fail to live up to their expectationsD. they tend to suspect their husbands’ loyalty to their marriage77. Which of the following statements can best summarize the authors’ view in the passage?A. The stability of marriage and the divorce rate may reflect the economic situation of the country.B. Even when economically independent, most women have to struggle forreal equality in marriage.C. In order to secure their marriage women should work outside the home andremain independentD. The impact of the growing female workforce on marriage varies from case to case.Section DDirections Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words. ( no more than 10 words)When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t wan t —an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong –even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.78. What is likely to happen if you have disagreements with your friends?79. The author wrote the article mainly to tell us .80. The underlined word nurture probably means ________________.81. What causes the change of friendships?第II卷(共47分)I.

2021-2022学年山西省名校联考高二（上）期末英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AThe following 4 famous paintings,from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's masterpiece,have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait,an oil painting on wood produced in 1434，is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces.This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed.It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society,through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism - while husbands went out to engage in business,wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night,oil on canvas,a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village,during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital.When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941，it was not well known,but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.It describes the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September.Nicolaes Jonghelinck,a merchant banker and art collector fromAntwerp,commissioned this painting.The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.GuernicaGuernica,a large black-and-white oil painting,was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter,Pablo Picasso in 1937.The title "Guernica" refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War.The painting shows the horrors of war and as a result,has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war.1.What is special about The Starry Night？______A. It was set in a conventional hospital.B. It wasn't widely recognized before 1941.C. It was donated to a museum by a collector.D. It is a romantic work in the early 20th century.2.What can we infer from the name "Guernica"？______A. It was a war symbol.B. It was named after a painter.C. It reflects different people's lives.D. It reminds us of a kind of war atmosphere.3.What's the purpose of writing this passage？______A. To describe four scenes.B. To expand painting knowledge.C. To praise four well-known artists.D. To introduce four famous paintings.BBefore arriving in China,I had read various books relating to China,famous Chinese novels as well as non-fiction and the seeds of my fascination were sown.Therefore,when I arrived I couldn't have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country.The food,the landmarks,the fantastic cities and everyday life—I was burning to explore.Yet despite my enthusiasm,learning Chinese hadn't even entered my mind.This wasn't ignorance or laziness,but rather fright at the thought of attempting to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.In my mind,the Chinese language was the privilege of the highly intelligent.However,after a year in China I began to feel uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn't even speak the most basic Chinese.With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge I determined to begin my language journey.In the two years since starting to learn I have made measurable progress.I found it less difficult than thought.When speaking to native Chinese speakers in Chinese they almost always understand me,I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters.I find studying the language relaxing and rewarding.In spite of my progress,it has still been the challenge that has taken a lot of hard work andcommitment.The thing I find most discouraging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed,I can't always understand what's been said,but my weekly online language exchanges help with this.Furthermore,there is a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency.The key to progress is to be patient and persistent.My biggest harvest from learning Chinese is that it's not only reachable but can also be enjoyable.Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life,but deepened my cultural understanding of such a diverse and interesting country.Now my only regret is that I didn't start earlier.4.Which can best describe the author's original impression about learning Chinese？______A. Boring.B. Pleasant.C. Demanding.D. Discouraging.5.What has the author found while learning Chinese？______A. Speaking Chinese is the most difficult.B. Many Chinese speak fluent English.C. It isn't as tough as he once assumed.D. It is beyond his power to learn characters.6.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us？______A. Importance of learning Chinese.B. Barriers of learning a new language.C. Significant progress the author has made.D. Certain difficulties the author met along the way.7.What is the best title for the text？______A. A New Opinion in LearningB. My Journey of Learning ChineseC. Exploring the Joy of Learning ChineseD. The Value of Learning a New LanguageCAs aging population gets bigger and dementia（老年痴呆症）more common,more families are struggling with a complex question：How do you support a loved one with dementia,especially when you have a full-time job and several kids？Reg Urbanowski may have an answer to this pressing issue：ROBOTS.He and his team managed to develop a new type of robots named TP robots.Looking like stand-up vacuumcleaners attached to an iPad,they can be activated remotely via a smartphone and guided remotely by a controller app similar to the way a mouse is used on a desktop computer.All possess audio and visual communication capabilities,allowing the operator to be "in the room" to interact with Mom or Dad.He believes that caregivers and family members can use a TP robot to "look in" on people with mild dementia.He says,"TP robots provide an effective solution for minimizing caregiver burden,especially for those who have career or other out-of home activities."Urbanowski and his team have conducted a study that involves providing TP robots for 15 Manitoba families.These robots are programmed to provide reminders of necessary daily routine like turning off the gas,taking medicine and having dinner.They will also help ensure patients are getting the exercise they need to maintain their health and well-being.Erin Crawford,Program Director with the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba,says she has faith that TP robots will prove beneficial,particularly when it comes to reminding people with dementia to do certain things at certain times. "It means that family members that can't be there,for whatever reason,know that those things are till happening," she says.8.What inspired Reg Urbanowskit and his team to develop such robots？______A. Solving a puzzle in society.B. Making caring for the elderly easier.C. Helping aging people with dementia.D. Encouraging people they love and care.9.Which is a function of TP robots？______A. They arrange dinners for users.B. They turn on the light for users.C. They play games with users.D. They remind users to take exercise.10.What's Erin Crawford's attitude to the future of TP robots？______A. Objective.B. Critical.C. Optimistic.D. Cautious.11.What does the passage mainly cover？______A. The new characteristics of TP robots.B. A new type of robot for dementia patients.C. A practical way to relieve pain from dementia.D. The application of TP robots in medical community.DUK Phone Booths Become Free Solar-powered Mobile Phone Changers Created in the 1920s by Sir Giles Gilbert Scotty the architect who designed Waterloo Bridge,the red public telephone boxes,which can be seen all over the UK，are regarded as one of the most typical symbols of this country.However,public phones have had their day despite their lovely housings.While coin-operated and card-operated telephones are on the edge of extinction,mobile phones are playing a significant role in people's lives.Though they are more portable,flexible and extensively used,mobile phones have their kryptonite：battery life.Instead of trashing the phone booths,a project was then promoted to recycle and reuse them.To be consistent with the environment-friendly preference,people are allowed to rent and repurpose the red phone boxes.In this way,they are making an unusual comeback.When you take a walk down Tottenham Court Road in London and find your mobile phone in a low-battery condition,there happens to be a green option for you.The abandoned phone booths are being repurposed as free charging stations powered by solar energy.Inside the booths,which are newly painted green,there are various adapters that can be connected to different brands and models of mobile phones.Just walk in,plug your phone in,and charge it up whenever it needs to be supplied with power.Since most people would stay inside the boxes while they charge,Solarbox,the company which launched the project,can reach a large quantity of audience by displaying ads on solid equipment.Its advertisers includewell-known companies like Uber,yet 30% of advertising space is reserved for local community projects.Apart from converting phone booths into solar-powered charging stations,other forms of transformation can be found in and outside the UK.For example,there is medical equipment or mini libraries adapted from phone booths,while in America,thousands of phone booths have been transformed to Wi-Fi hot spots.12.What does the underlined word "kryptonite" in paragraph 2 probably mean？______A. Disadvantage.B. Position.C. Strength.D. Feature.13.Why did Solarbox launch the project？______A. To create a new function of booths.B. To draw people's affection to the company.C. To get more support from other companies.D. To get some profits from advertisement.14.How does the author think of phone boxes used as charging station？______A. They are conventional.B. They are costly to operate.C. They bring convenience to people.D. They will replace common chargers.15.What can we conclude from the last paragraph？______A. The future of the phone booths is promising.B. We have witnessed the ups and downs of the phone.C. Phone booths may fall out of use some day.D. Phone booths are as important as cellphones.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）We've all been there.We eagerly begin a fitness routine only to have our motivation and enthusiasm fade when life gets in the way.
