Claire was frightened of me at first,but after four weeks I gained her trust.Finally,it was time for Claire to get ready to go outside and build up enough muscle movement to be released back into the wild.This was the most satisfying part of my job because not all koalas can be saved.I did miss them when they were gone,but I knew they were not meant to be pets.After the Black Summer fires destroyed so much of the country from2019to2020,extinction for koalas is a very real possibility.For individuals,one of the easiest ways you can help koalas is leaving a dish of water in your

bushland.5．What can we learn about Claire？A．It was afraid of flies.B．It got hurt by hunters.C．It needed a major operation.D．It developed trust in humans.6．Which part of the job does the author find

app)will cut out many users’accounts on December20.To protect your account,repost this warning#KeepMyAccountSafe.”Every few months,it happens again-a dozen of annoying posts from my kids’friends suddenly start to appear on my Instagram news feed.According to a new study by Stanford University,most kids don’t know what news is fake.Researchers asked more than7,800middle school and high school students to complete56tasks,like distinguishing anadvertisement from a real news story on a website and determining which blog in a series was most reliable.They found that students judged the credibility of blogs based not on the source of the material,but on how much detail they contained,or whether a large photo was attached.“Many people assume that because young people are fluent in social media,they can distinguish fake news, but our work shows the opposite to be true,”wrote lead study author Sam Wineburg,a professor at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education.Both Google and Facebook are now taking steps to control misleading news from making its way on their platforms,but they won’t be able to eliminate it completely.That is why it’s now more important than ever to teach our kids to think critically when it comes to believing various information sources.“In the coming months,we look forward to sharing our assessments and working with educators to create materials that will guide young people in the sea of disinformation they encounter online,”said Wineburg. 8．How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?A．By stating opinions.B．By showing findings.C．By quoting sayings.D．By citing a post.9．According to researchers,what determines the credibility of online information?A．The source of the material.B．The popularity of the website.C．The amount of details.D．The size of relevant photos.10．What does the underlined word“eliminate”mean in paragraph4?A．Digest.B．Update.C．Estimate.D．Remove.11．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Stronger Together:The Internet Changes Our LifeB．Be Careful:Kids Are Bad at Identifying Fake NewsC．Reliable News Has No Place on Social MediaD．Educators Have a Long Way to Go to Guide the YoungFor people who are deaf or hard of hearing,it can be difficult to pick out important sounds,such as knocks at the door or fire alarms.Now researchers at the University of Washington have developed a smartwatch app called SoundWatch,which identifies sounds and reminds users of them with a vibration and a visual readout.The project was led by Dhruv Jain,inspired by his own experience being hard of hearing.SoundWatch uses the smartwatch’s microphone to listen out for particular sounds,sends the data to a user’s connected phone for processing,then back to the watch to display in text what the sound is,and how loud it is.That’s accompanied by a vibration to tell the wearer that something has been detected.“This technology provides people with a way to experience sounds that require an action—such as getting food from the microwave when it beeps,which can improve people’s experiences and help them feel more connected to the world,”says Jain.“But it’s not perfect of course.The app sometimes gets it wrong,or takes too long to tell a user.However,these issues are being worked on.”Disability is highly personal,and Jain hopes his team can find ways for people to personalize this app for their own specific needs.For example,people can be told about the sounds they care about-a husband’s or wife’s voice versus general speech,the back door opening versus the front door opening,and more.12．What does“them”in paragraph1refer to?A．Researchers.B．Apps.C．Sounds.D．Fire alarms.13．What is mainly discussed about SoundWatch in paragraph2?A．How it works.B．Why it is invented.C．Who it is intended for.D．What it can detect.14．Which word can best describe Jain’s attitude to SoundWatch?A．Doubtful.B．Critical.C．Objective.D．Disapproving.15．What does Jain expect SoundWatch to be?A．Affordable.B．Personally tailoredC．Multifunctional.D．Fashionably designed.二、七选五Bill Gates started Microsoft when he was19and has since become one of the world’s wealthiest people. Mark Zuckerberg owns one of the most highly-valued tech companies in America.Steve Jobs founded Apple in his garage.What do these three people have in common?16．In fact,there are countless others who have started successful businesses without first earning a bachelor’s degree.17．The short answer is“YES”,despite the fact that it is possible to succeed without a degree.But the longer answer is that succeeding without a degree-especially to the level that Gates,Zuckerberg,and Jobs did-is the exception,not the general rule.18．Let’s look at some statistics.Through2021,there will be55million job openings in America.19．Even when a job does not require it,91percent of jobs actually go to people who have one.Needless to say,people with bachelor’s degrees are more likely to be employed and have a higher paying job. Hence,they are more financially secure.Of course,financial security is not everything.20．The people you meet in college will become part of an institutional support network that you can later call upon for work advancements, guiding programs,and additional skill-building prospects.A．None of them finished college.B．What does a college degree ensure you？C．There’s more to a degree than earning potential.D．Success starts the day they get bachelor’s degrees.E.Is a college degree still necessary in today’s world？F.75percent of those will require a bachelor’s degree.G.For most people,earning a bachelor’s degree still gives them clear advantages.三、完形填空A few years ago,I was at the clinic with my father,who was sitting in the waiting room for a routine test.

四川省凉山州2020-2021学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题一、阅读选择1.If you're dreaming of visiting one of those picture—perfect European towns filled with old—world attractiveness and scenic beauty, here is a look at the most beautiful small towns in Europe.ManarolaManarola, Italy, is filled with rainbow-colored homes carved right into a wall of stone along the Mediterranean coast. This charming fishing town is famous for its unbelievable wine, and the paintings. There are no cars here, no traffic lights, or traffic noise. You can drive to Manarola, but you'll have to park just outside the town and then take a shuttle bus or walk in on foot.Garmisch—PartenkirchenGarmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, is a fascinating mountain town. Once two separate towns, one Roman and the other Teutonic, the 1936 Winter Olympics forced them to combine, though the two sides still have different characters. The town dates back to 15 AD, filled with narrow, cobblestoned streets lined with historic three—or four—story buildings painted with regional and religious scenes.MarsaxlokkThe energetic trading port of Marsaxlokk, Malta, was built in 900 BC. Today, this pictures—like town is the main supplier of fish to the island nation that sits in the Mediterranean Sea. It has no modern buildings to ruin its appeal. With such quiet surroundings, including the traditional luzzu's (fishing boats), it's a particularly charming place to visit. Portmagee, IrelandIn a country filled with beautiful towns, Portmagee, is a standout, sitting on the southwest coast of Ireland. This postcard—perfect seaside fishing town has a row of brightly colored buildings along with a rich and colorful history. At The Bridge Bar, you'll find live music many nights of the week along with fantastic food and a fine glass of beer.（1）In which town are tourists not allowed to go sightseeing by car?A Garmisch-Partenkirchen.B Marsaxlokk.C Manarola.D Portmagee.（2）What is Marsaxlokk attractive for?A Wine and paintings.B Religious scenes.C Fish and old buildings.D Rich history and live music.（3）For whom are Manarola and Portmagee ideal destinations?A Those who prefer enjoyment in an old coastal fishing town.B Those who want to stay on a Mediterranean island.C Those who have special interest in traditional fishing boats.D Those who need to be refreshed in a mountain town.（4）What does the underlined word "appeal" probably mean?A Background.B Attractiveness.C Tradition.D Development.2.阅读理解Hobbs was an orphan（孤儿）. He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.One day a lawyer said to him, "One thousand dollars, and here is the money." As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, "I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I'd like to do—painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it's too much for one and too little for the other." "Here is the reading of your uncle's will（遗嘱）," said the lawyer, "telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it." "Yes, I see. I'll do that," said the young man.（1）Hobbs wanted to borrow money to ______.A study abroadB work abroadC pay off the debtsD learn to paint pictures（2）What does the underlined word "dumbfounded"（in Paragraph 2）probably mean?A Surprised.B Frightened.C Satisfied.D Excited.（3）With the money, he got, at first Hobbs ______.A planned to have a happy life for a few daysB decided to give up his work in the factoryC was to give a dinner to his friendsD had no idea what to do（4）Hobbs was asked to ______.A tell the lawyer what he did with the money after spending itB read his uncle'swill C tell the lawyer what was to be done with the money D buy some pictures3. Publishers of books for beginning readers are in the business of doing whatever they can to make children develop a love of reading. At times, that means they'll produce books that are more color1 ful and more packed with pictures. But it turns out that when it comes to learning to read books, more pictures aren't always better.In fact, simply having more than one picture on a page can negatively(消极地) affect the ability of preschoolers to learn words from that page, according to a new study byresearchers at the University of Sussex. “Storybook reading is a great activity to help children increase their vocabularies,” writes co-author Zoe M. Flack in the University's School of Psychology blog.But the illustrations(插图) can affect how well children will learn new words. “For example,” Flack writes, “We know that children learn words better if illustrations are realistic.” Also, studies have shown that adding bells and whistles(哨声) to storybooks may negatively affect learning, according to Jessica S. Horst, Flack's co-author for the study. “We also know that children look within illustrations for the things they hear in the story, so if the story mentions a girl dropping an ice cream, children will look at the ice cream in the illustration.”With that in mind, Dr. Horst and Ms. Flack began to wonder what would happen when picture books show many illustrations on a page and how young children who haven't yet learned to read know which illustration to look at while listening to a story. To find out, they read storybooks that displayed either one or two illustrations per page to 36 three-year-old children. As it turns out, children who listened to stories with only one illustration at a time learned twice as many words as children who listened with two or more illustrations.（1）Why do publishers produce books with many color1 ful pictures?A Because such books help kids improve their imagination.B Because parents are more interested in such books.C Because they want to help kids love reading.D Because such books are easier to produce.（2）What does Zoe M. Flack say about storybook reading?A It helps kids learn new words.B Illustrations aren't that necessary.C More words should be added to a story.D It helps kids improve their reading ability.（3）What did the researchers find through their research?A Reading is a very important activity.B One page should have only one illustration for kids.C Children know what books they should read.D Children don't really love looking at illustrations.（4）According to the passage, the findings can help publishers____________.A choose better stories for childrenB produce more types of storybooksC Produce better books for little kidsD Make more money through producing books4.From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, you can feel water running down your body, even if you're hardly moving at all. That's what most people in China felt this summer. In fact, the whole northern hemisphere（半球）saw high temperatures in July.The Arctic Circle was also like that. Temperatures in the city of Norilsk, which is in the Arctic Circle, reached a record high of 32°C, the Atlantic reported. Temperatures there are usually just 10°C at this time of the year.The heat changes in the Arctic are mainly a long-term result of global warming, according to the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. In fact, while the whole world is getting warmer, the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. This is called the polar amplification effect（极地放大效应）.The most direct influence of Arctic warming is the melting（融化）of Arctic ice. According toNASA, USA, Arctic sea ice is now disappearing at a rate of 13.2 percent every 10 years. NASA said that if this continues, the Arctic will have no ice by the year 2040. This has put some Arctic animals, like polar bears, in danger. The ice that the bears live on has become smaller and smaller, the Toronto Star reported.Melting ice can also generate sea levels to rise in the long term. Since 1993, sea levelshave risen at a rate of 3.2 cm every 10 years, the Guardian reported. Some countries, such as Tuvalu in the Pacific Ocean and Maldives in the Indian Ocean, are at the risk of disappearing into the sea.（2）What does the underlined word "generate" mean?A Prevent.B Stop.C Realize.D Cause.二、七选五5. 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。

In a story bookBIt was a hot, humid day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr.Blickez’s pasture(牧场) and through some woods.The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull. Mr.Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township, maybe even the county, and we believed him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about his claim. For one thing, we remembered Mr.Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like an odd name for a bull.Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced. Mom said she would talk to Mr.Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me. In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning. “I’ m not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin.” I told my mom.“Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious t one. I gave in and we set out. On our way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back. Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn’ t a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother’ s back as long as he stood still.We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”. And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn’ t been too bad. She’ s been one of my best friends over the years.4.What’s the meaning of the underline word “fishy” in Paragraph 2?A. Funny.B.

T he bull guarding Mr.Blickez’s farm.CGerman conceptual(概念的) artist HA Schult has built the world’s first hotel made out of rubbish in Rome only a few steps from the Vatican and Castel Sant’ Angelo.Schult used a total of 12 tonnes of rubbish collected on beaches along European coasts to form the outer walls of the three-room structure. The rubbish was cleaned in Germany before being transported to Rome for use in the project.Cans, tyres, newspaper, socks and even deserted cameras, footballs and love letters are used to decorate the hotel.

This is symbolic beca use rubbish is a worldw ide problem , he said.“ We are living on a planet of garbage,” said Schult, who has used garbage to create art in various projects since the 1960s to point out the increasing amount of rubbish.Among his best known projects is Rubbish People, which consisted of an army of human-like figures that he set up at numerous prominent locations, including Rome’s Piazza del Popolo, Brooklyn Bridge in New York, the Pyramids at Giza and Red Square in Moscow.8.HA Schult has built the world’s first hotel made out of rubbish ______.A. to draw people’s attention to rubbish problemB. to earn moneyC. to make himself a famous architectD. just for fun9.We can infer from the text that _______.A.

Theyˈll be too busy changing TV channels and enjoying their favorite shows thanks to the worldˈs first dog-friendly remote control.UK-based pet food brand Wagg surveyed a number of pet owners and found that 91% of respondents said their dog friends regularly watched TV with them. Inspired by this interesting finding, the company teamed up with Hyena Hirskyj-Douglas, an expert in animal computer interaction design, to create the world’s first remote control for dogs. They came up with a prototype(样品）which is currently in a trial and analysis period.The oversized remote is made of “hard-wearing plastic”. So while dogs can chew on it like any other toy, they’ll have a tough time actually causing little damage. It has three large, raised，paw-friendly buttons shaped like a bone, paw (爪子）and ball which dogs can press to turn the TV on or off, change the channel and even “pause” a show for later viewing. The remote also has a hole through which a rope can be tied so dogs can carry it around the house. “ Our studies shows the average dog now watches more than nine hours of TV a week, showing technology is already playing a huge part in our pets’ lives，” Hyena Hirskyj-Douglas said.After Wagg performs all its tests and perfects the dog-friendly TV remote control, the company plans to approach tech companies about getting the device into production. So you and your pet dog may soon be fighting over control of your TV set.12.What made Wagg think of inventing the dog-friendly remote control?A.Dogs often watch TV with their owners.B. Dogs like chewing plastic remote controls.C. Dogs have difficulty using the current remote control.D. Dog owners complain about dogs’ bites their remote controls.13.What can we learn about the dog-friendly remote control?A. It doesnˈt need charging.B. It can last a long time.C. It is in the shape of a bone.D. It is large but very light.14.Which statement might Hyena Hirskyj-Douglas agree with?A.Technology has already come into dogs’ life.B. It’s time for owners to control dogs watching TV.C. Dogs have a closer relationship with their owners than before.D. Dogs canˈt live well without this dog-friendly remote control.15.What might be dog owners’ attitude toward this dog-friendly remote control?A. Doubtful.B. Worried.C. Opposed.D. Supportive.二、七选五（本大题共5小题，每题2.5分）It is well-known that eyesight is of great importance in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us.

Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake,five years ago.Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kid s to school.Every morning she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our soles(鞋底)were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French toast” ready for us.Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted(赶走) right after Christmas on the first of January. Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled(有资格) to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away.When he didn’t find any, he issued the cheque to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, shoveling snow,and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots that weren’t patched,boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars.Well,the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited,as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights,no decorations,nor any money for Christmas goodies. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas,and I felt sad. 注意 :1.所续写短文的词数应为150 左右;2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
