福建省福建师范大学附属中学2022-2023学年高一下学期2月份开学阶段考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解“The Manuscript Writing Cafe only allows in people who have a writing deadline to face!” owner Takuya Kawai tweeted. “It’s in order to maintain a level of focus and tense atmosphere at the cafe! Thank you for your understanding.”The cafe, which only opened a few days ago, charges customers by time used, and is equipped with USB ports, computer stands, and free Wi-Fi. Struggling writers can also bring their own food and drinks, or have it delivered there since coffee and water are the only things that they can get, but it’s pretty strict when it comes to the actual writing.When entering the cafe, customers must write down at the reception desk(前台) how many words they plan to write and by what time they plan to finish. Every hour, a member of the staff will come by to check on their progress and apply a predetermined pressure level to help move things along.For example, choosing the “S” level will have the cafe staff pushing you to get the work done more often, while the “M” level includes a more mild way.However, the craziest rule of the Manuscript Writing Cafe is that writers are not allowed to end their work until reaching their goal or until the place closes down for the day, whichever comes first. It’s not clear how the cafe carries out this rule, but it is meant to keep customers from announcing high targets that they won’t be able to meet.While some found it interesting, others said that it was too much pressure. “If it were me, I would no longer be able to leave the store and would end up having to live there,” one person said.1．Which word can best describe the Cafe?A．Relaxing.B．Frightening.C．Unique.D．Traditional. 2．Who may be the target customer of the Cafe?A．Tom, who is interested in reading some proofs of documents.B．Jenny, whose job is to writing advertising materials.C．Peter, who interprets messages from one language to another.D．Mary, who is used to writing her novels without pressure.3．Why does the author mention the “S” and the “M” levels?A．To present a fact.B．To make a comparison.C．To identify a concept.D．To explain a rule.4．What can we infer from the passage?A．Many writers have the problem of finishing writing in time.B．Writers cannot leave the cafe unless they finish writing.C．The rules may be useful for effective writing.D．Food and drinks are not allowed in the cafe.Cuckoos (布谷鸟) are masters of cheating. When it comes to raising young, they don’t spend the energy building a nest (鸟巢), protecting eggs or feeding children. Instead the female passes these roles on to other birds. They don’t raise their own young. Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.To succeed in doing this, a female cuckoo watches over her chosen nest to observe feeding times. When the host parent leaves its nest in search of food, the cuckoo quickly lays her eggs among those already in the nest. Sometimes, she will even destroy and remove one of the host’s eggs to make room for her own.Cuckoos are medium-sized birds with long tails, and often have gray or brown backs. When they hatch (孵化) and begin to grow in a host’s nest, the difference between the two can be obvious to an onlooker. Often the cuckoo is twice the size of its foster parents, but still continues to receive food from them.The cuckoo imposter (冒名顶替者) is usually the only baby bird that the host parent has to care for. This is because when the cuckoo hatches after around 11 days, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest. It will lift each egg onto its back before throwing them one by one over the edge of the nest. Even then, the non-biological parent will continue to treat it as one of its own.Also, cuckoos have developed to produce eggs that are similar in color to their main hosts’. This reduces the chances of eggs being attacked. Female cuckoos have been known to take host birds’ attention away after laying their eggs by producing a noise similar to Eurasian sparrowhawks, scaring birds away from returning to the nest and allowing time for the cuckoo to make her escape unnoticed.5．What do mother cuckoos usually do when it comes to raising their young?A．Attend to eggs.B．Build a new nest.C．Rely on other birds.D．Learn feeding skills.6．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Other cuckoos.B．Baby cuckoos.C．Its host parents.D．Its birth parents. 7．What can be inferred about the cuckoo imposter?A．It usually hatches out earlier than the other eggs in the nest.B．It throws all the other eggs out of nests with its mother’s help.C．It often makes a noise to scare other birds away from the nest.D．It looks much larger than other eggs in the nest before hatching.8．Which can be the best title for the text?A．How cuckoos fool other birds B．How cuckoos protect their childrenC．How cuckoos destroy others’ nests D．How cuckoos produce eggs in host nestsSome of the recent scientific studies have found that people who receive higher education live longer than those who do not. According to a new study, reading books extends lifespan (寿命) by up to two years, and the more often you read, the better.Back in 1975, economists concluded that longer lifespan is linked to the wealth of a person, and that wealth itself increases lifespan. It seemed self-evident: everything people need to be healthy from food to medical care costs money. But soon it was realized that the data didn’t always fit that theory. Economic success didn’t always mean longer lives. In the 1980s, researchers found gaining higher education is connected with a greater increase in lifespan than gains in wealth.One fact is of teachers and college professors: they live longer than the rest of the population. The reason is that they take part in research most of their lives for teaching or publishing, which increases their lifespan and most importantly also retards their aging process.Let’s look at what benefits educated people. Educated people get routinely involved in social networks; they get access to information because of their ability to understand information. They can easily make use of the health care system; they have more social support.Reading helps us understand how other people think and feel. Reading improves ouremotional intelligence. This understanding can improve the quality of a person’s life as it would allow the person to act with better judgment and have more insight into the feelings and thought patterns of others. Research has shown that reading changes certain areas of the brain and causes certain other parts to be active. This effect can also be observed in adults who learn to read much later in life. Learning has no age limit. Each and every human is born with the right to be educated. So, don’t hold back your urge to learn. The goal of education is to improve intelligence as well as the lifespan.9．What conclusion did economists in 1975 draw?A．People need high-quality food to keep healthy.B．Medical care costs more money than food.C．Most old people have the habit of reading.D．Wealthy people tend to live longer. 10．What did researchers find in the 1980s?A．Health has nothing to do with wealth.B．Education does affect people’s lifespan.C．Economic success always belongs to professors.D．Children from poor families can rarely gain higher education.11．What does the underlined word “retards” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Speeds up.B．Turns back.C．Slows down.D．Contributes to. 12．What can we know about reading from the last paragraph?A．It can help people understand humans’ brain better.B．It is beneficial to people’s EQ and brain health.C．It can change a person’s lifestyle completely.D．It is effective against cancer.二、七选五The Growing Popularity of CyclingOnce you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget.

But it’s not only about your body and mind-but there are also some plus sides for your wallet’s health.Cycling can be a great way to commute (通勤) or get about town. 15 If you do drive into work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a tough problem, whereas finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler.Then, on the train, there are changes at stations and other commuters speaking loudly on their phones to deal with. 16 And if you’re worried about safety, there are special cycle paths in many major cities.17 It can help you to reduce your carbon footprint. Not pumping out poisonous gases into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.So, whether people want to cycle for their health, to get about town, for their wallet, for the environment, or a combination of all of them-the popularity of cycling is on the rise.A．and many preferred bicycle tours.B．Cyclists face neither of these issues.C．You save money on fuel or train fares by cycling.D．and many still keep this skill with ease into adulthood.E．Finally, cycling can also be good for the environment.F．And its benefits aren’t just physical, but mental as well.G．Cycling is a fantastic way to burn a few calories and save some money.三、完形填空This past summer, I applied for my very first job at a small bakery in my neighborhood.demanding New Yorkers, but I never thought that the act of tying a box would become both my biggest 21 and greatest teacher.On my first day of work in late August, one of the employees quickly explained the 22 .
