2023-2024学年辽宁省新高考联盟（点石联考）高二下学期3月份阶段测试英语试题Sometimes accommodation can feel restricting when you’re traveling.

There are many people interested in volcanoes, but very few who are willing to climb an erupting crater(火山口) and approach the flowing lava(岩浆). Katia and Maurice did a lot of work, shooting photographs and films of volcano eruptions, always being the first on the scene ofan active volcano, and the ones who fearlessly came to just a few feet from lava flows. They were not only highly respected by volcanologists all around the world, but also envied.The couple metinthe1960s when they were both students at the University of Strasbourg, and got married in 1970. Both of them were attracted to volcanoes since childhood. Upon graduating, Katia and Maurice pursued their careers as volcano observers with no financial support at all, just their own savings, which they spent on a trip to Stromboli to observe the eruption of the volcano.They took an incredible and valuable set of photographs of the near-continuous eruption. People were curious about the photographs, while public officials working on threatening volcanoes found them useful. This interest in their work helped the French couple to establish a career in documenting eruptions. Now able to obtain financial support for their work, Katia and Maurice visited hundreds, if not thousands, of volcanoes around the globe. They traveled and recorded eruptions, always getting closer to the danger than anyone else.In June 1991, along with 40 other people, the Kraffts set out to film the eruption at Mount Unzen in Japan. A sudden and unexpected flow took place and all the people in its path were killed. Later investigation revealed that Katia’s and Maurice’s bodies were closest to the volcano crater. They were 44 and 45 years old respectively.In their 25-year-long career, the couple documented hundreds of volcanoes, and their work consists of thousands of sill photos, 300 hours off film materials, a number of books, and scientific articles published in Bulletin of Volcanology.4. When did the couple start their careers as volcano observers?A．As children. B．While studying at college.C．When leaving university. D．After getting married.5. What is unique to the couple’s photographs of volcanoes?A．They focused on threatening volcanoes.B．They were taken with their own savings.C．They recorded continuous eruption of volcanoes.D．They were shot at a shorter distance from lava flows.6. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A．The couple didn’t get prepared before setting out.B．The couple had been married for 25 years before the accident.C．The couple made a great fortune with what they shot.D．The couple went ahead of the rest at the last minute.7. Which of the following can best describe the couple?A．Caring and demanding. B．Promising and optimistic.C．Brave and devoted. D．Dynamic and calm.Feeling unhappy, depressed or lonely could speed up the ageing processes more than smoking or even certain diseases, researchers have suggested. While everyone has an age based on their date of birth —their “chronological age”, they also have what is known as a “biological age”, based on the ageing of the body’s functions, influenced by gene is, lifestyle and other factors. Studies have previously suggested the higher the biological age, the higher the risk of various diseases, and the risk of death.Now researchers say they have created a digital model of ageing, revealing the importance of psychological health. “Your body and soul are connected —this is our main message,” said Fedor Galkin, a co-author of the study and lead scientist at the Hong Kong startup Deep Longevity.“We demonstrate that psychological factors, such as feeling unhappy or being lonely, add up to 1.65 years to one’s biological age,” they write. While Galkin said the figure is an estimate, not least as the model assumes that different feelings such as hopelessness or fearfulness are independent of each other, the study highlights the importance of psychological state in how fast we age.“Taking care of your psychological heath is the greatest contributor that you can have to slowing down your pace of ageing,” he said. The team also report that people who smoke are predicted to be 15 months older than their non-smoking peers, while being married reduces biological age by around seven months. People living in rural areas are predicted to be almost five months older than their urban peers.“But,” he said, “it is unlikely that isolation and loneliness are truly worse risk factors for health than smoking because the study only looked at data collected at one point in time. The researchers did not follow up participants to show that those with psychological distress actually aged more rapidly,” he said. “It will be important in the future to test whether these predictions are fulfilled by repeating testing over a number of years.”8. What does the underlined words “chronological age” in Paragraph 1 mean?A．Mental age. B．Age measured by time.C．Biological age. D．Age of psychological development.9. What idea does the author want to convey in Paragraph 3?A．Psychological fa ctors add up to 1.65 years to one’s chronological age.B．External factor can speedup people’s ageing process.C．Psychological state is a crucial factor in people’s ageing process.D．Physical health can slowdown you pace of ageing.10. What is the autho r’s attitude to the research?A．In different. B．Favorable. C．Disapproving. D．Objective.11. What is the main idea of the passage?A．Depression and loneliness may slowdown the ageing process.B．Isolation and depression maybe worse risk factors foraging than smoking.C．Smoking is harmful to our physical and mental health.D．People with depression need others’ company and understanding.Most able-bodied people take their ability to perform simple daily tasks for granted — when they reach for a warm cup of coffee, they can feel its weight and temperature and adjust their grasp accordingly so that no liquid is spilled. People with full sensory and motor control of their arms and hands can feel that they’ve made contact with an object the instant they touc h or grasp it, allowing them to start moving or lifting it with confidence.But those tasks become much more difficult when a person operates an artificial arm, let alone a mind-controlled one.In a paper published in Science, a team of bio engineers from the University of Pittsburgh describe how adding brain stimulation that generates tactile (触觉的) sensations makes it easier for the operator to use a brain-controlled robotic arm. In the experiment, combining vision with artificial tactile feedback cut the time spent grasping and moving objects in half, from 20.9 to 10.2 seconds.Study participant Nathan Copeland, who was left with limited use of his arms after a car crash, is the first person in the world who was implanted with tiny electrode arrays (电极阵列) in his brain. Arrays allow him to not only control the robotic arm with his mind, but also to receive tactile feedback.In a series of tests, where Copeland was asked to pick up and move various objects from a table to a raised platform, providing tactile feedback through electrical stimulation allowed him to complete tasks twice as fast compared to tests without stimulation.“Even though the sensation isn’t natural, that never bothers me,” said Copeland.“When even limited and imperfect sensation is restored, the person’s performance improved in a pretty significant way. We still have a long way to go in terms of making the sensations more realistic and bringing this technology to people’s homes, but the closer we can get to recreating the normal inpu ts to the brain, the better off we will be,” said Robert Gaunt, co-senior author of the study.12. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 1?A．The value of being healthy. B．The importance of the sense of touch.C．The simplicity of daily tasks. D．The advantages of able-bodied people.13. What’s the purpose of implanting the arrays into Copeland’s brain?A．To allow him to feel the objects. B．To improve his test performance.C．To connect his senses of sight and touch. D．To stimulate him to complete more tasks.14. What can we learn from Robert Caunt’s words about the study?A．It’s unreliable.B．It’s promising.C．It’s perfect.D．It’s theoretical.15. What’s the best title for the text?A．Application of Biotechnology in Medical Care.B．Restoration of Lost Sensations Proves Possible.C．Development of Mind-Controlled Robotic Arms.D．Sense of Touch Improves Control of a Robotic Arm.As a young person, it can be frustrating (令人沮丧的) when you’re expected to give respect and yet you don’t always receive that same respect in return. 16 But, there are several reasons why this is so often the case.Although it’s unfair, the very fact that you’re young plays apart in this equation. It’s wrong, but others, including many adults, don’t show the respect they should to teenagers. This is no fault of your own, but try to understand that-generally speaking—the older you get, the more respect you’ll receive. 17 To help, there are actions you can start taking to gain respect from others. First, you should show respect for those around you. 18 In order to gain respect, you have to be a giver of respect as well. There’s a basic level of respect that we should show for everyone, regardless of the circumstances. Make sure that you hand out respect as you go around your school or your community. 19 . For example, take the initiative to handle your schoolwork, chores around your house and job responsibilities seriously. Do the responsible thing without having to be told. Your attitude and behavior are two important factors in whether other people will respect you or not. Finally, you need to show that you believe your life is important. 20 Your study habits, what you do with your spare time, what outside interests you have and many similar factors show what you think about yourself. As people observe your attitude and behavior, these observations will go a long way toward your gaining their respect that you hopefully deserve.Isabella Springmuhl Tejada is one of the first professional fashion designers with Down Syndrome (唐氏综合征).Her path to success wasn’t ________.Although she showed her________.for design in childhood, when she would spend hours designing paper dresses for her dolls, she was________from several fashion schools due to her disease.

AWorld’s Fascinating Libraries to Mark World Book DayWorld Book Day, also known as World Book and Copyright Day, is an annual event organized by the UNESCO to promote reading, publishing and copyright. The first World Book Day was celebrated on April 23 twenty-eight years ago. Let’s take a look at the world’s fascinating libraries and enjoy the fun of reading.Royal Portuguese Cabinet of ReadingLocated in the center of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Royal Portuguese Cabinet of Reading is a library and cultural institution. It was built in the late 19th century. Open to the public since 1900, the cabinet has the largest collection of Portuguese literature outside Portugal, holding more than 350,000 books.Stuttgart City LibraryStuttgart City Library is a cube outside with a hollow design inside.

Since its completion in 2011, it has become a local cultural card and an “instagrammable” place for many tourists.Library of AlexandriaThe Alexandria Library in Alexandria, Egypt, was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. The library, destroyed in 415 AD and rebuilt in 2002, is not only a library, but also a museum and scientific research institution. It is known as the Egyptian cultural center and a lighthouse of thought, culture and science.Vasconcelos LibraryVasconcelos Library is located in the downtown area of Mexico City. It was designed by the famous Mexican designer Alberto Kalach, and named after JoséVasconcelos, the philosopher and former president of the National Library of Mexico. It was completed in May 2006 and opened to the public.21. When was the first World Book Day celebrated?A. In 1900.B. In 1995.C. In 2002.D. In 2006.22. What can we infer about Library of Alexandria?A.

Vasconcelos LibraryB“Peg, do you think I can pull the rope(绳)?” The question was asked before we made marks on each of our cows. He had pulled the rope for years. He knew the answer before he asked, but he asked anyway. I answered, “Dad, I know you can't pull it for all the cows, but for a few you will do great. You get out here and we will give it a chance.” Until the last moment on the cows, to be exact, there were three left, I finally saw him driving slowly down the hill.As he approached, we stopped to wait for him. He drove over slowly, parked his car and got out with great difficulty. He made his way to the rope, not an easy task at 93. Tears were running down his face as well as mine. Dad's tears weren't tears of sadness for what he was no longer able to do, but tears of thankfulness that he was able to pull the rope for three cows. His last words when he left, “There, I worked, now I can eat!” That day, those three cows were just what he needed.It was the last time my dad would pull the rope. At the age of 95 my dad changed his address from earth to heaven, a day he had longed for. He was such a diamond(宝石)in my life. My dad passed on his love of birds and all farm animals to me. He used to be a brave World War I pilot. He loved my mother, his family, his country, and his friends. The lessons he taught me are ones that will never be forgotten. I am grateful for the time and beautiful memories.Miss you on the special day—Father's Day, dad.24. How did the father ask the question?A. In surprise.B. Out of patience.C. On purpose.D. In anger.25. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?A. The farm workers were considerate.B. The author got along well with his co-workers.C. His father was old enough not to work.D. His father had very deep love for work.26. What did the author mainly tell us in the third paragraph?A. His father has a great influence on him.B. His father loved birds and farm animals.C. His father passed away at the age of 95.D. His father had a right attitude to death.27. What was the purpose of the author to write the article?A. To measure.B. To remember.C. To comment.D. To advertise.CNo matter where you go in the world, you will notice something unusual about the trees—their trunks(树干)are painted white, People whitewash trees for a variety of reasons, depending on the area they live in.In Mexico, the purpose of whitewashing is to protect the tree and fight against a specific type of ant.Greece is another country where you can find trees painted white. According to tradition, during Easter(复活节), everything gets whitewashed, Make sure to planyour next trip to Greece if you won't want to miss this interesting and unique tradition.Generally speaking, the main purpose of whitewashing is to protect the tree from heat and insects. And few are as effective and accessible as whitewashing.When the tree is exposed to too much sun in the daytime, the tree cells become more active; however, the roots as well as the other unexposed areas of the tree remain inactive. If the water that the tree needs cannot be provided from the roots, the tree will have a dry surface. Once you whitewash them, the surfaces of young trees won't get dry easily.Pure white paint works efficiently when it comes to reflecting both heat and sunlight away from the tree. White paint allows the tree to spend more time taking in carbon dioxide(CO2). The more carbon dioxide the trees take in, the more energy they create. Gardeners whitewash trees not only for protecting their trees but also increasing fruit production.If the tree is suffering from being sunburned, the wound can also allow the insects to enter the inside of the tree. Moreover, relative diseases can affect how the tree grows. Whitewash prevents any access to the inside of the tree.Painting the trees white won't stop traffic accidents, but it can make them less frequent, because drivers can see the trees much more clearly, even during the night.28. For what reason do the people paint the trees white in Greece?A. To have the trees seen more clearly.B. To protect the trees from extreme heat.C. To celebrate a famous traditional festival.D. To make the surroundings more beautiful.29. What can be inferred from the text?A. Insects and diseases can certainly kill the trees.B. The tree cells become more active in the daytime.C. Painting the trees white may stop traffic accidents.D. Whitewashing the trees may increase fruit production.30. What is the best title for the passage?A. How we should paint the trees whiteB. Why the tree trunks are whitewashedC. When it is the best time to paint the treesD. What we should do before painting the trees31. Where is the passage probably taken from?A. A health report.B. A travel handbook.C. A scientific magazine.D. A product advertisement.DAustralian data（数据）indicate that less than a quarter of children aged 5-14 achieve the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity every day and spend just over two hours each day sitting or lying down for screen-based activities. There is widespread concern that children are not spending enough time in nature and, as a result, that they may be missing out on the potential benefits that nature has to offer for social skills, learning, physical health, and wellbeing.For teachers in the know, nature-based play and learning is wonderful. For example, cooking on an outdoor fire can include a range of curriculum（课程）skills-maths and measurement of food materials, important fire and safety skills, reading and writing, and comprehending skills from the recipe, as well as imagination in finding the best sticks to use as skewers. Simple activities can equally deliver benefits: using sticks to show how fractions （分数）are part of a whole can explain problem solving in a hands-on way and help children better grasp（理解）more complex maths concepts.An Australian study found that while all teachers believed that nature-based play and learning can deliver huge benefits for children, seven out of ten teachers felt that their knowledge and confidence was limiting their ability to make full use of these opportunities at school. Difficulties in using nature-based play and learning for teachers include: limited knowledge and confidence in how to add it into learning or how to operate the class outside （78%）; a crowded curriculum limiting their abilityto adopt new learning （54%）; a lack of understanding/support from others in the school （38%）.Reducing these difficulties must be a focus to ensure children are able to judge nature-based play and learning opportunities at school. We must find ways to support teachers to upskill and feel confident in delivering learning opportunities in nature. Training, education, and support at the school level are important for teachers to take the next step, but so are system-level approaches to consider how nature-based learning can be formally included into the curriculum.32. What do experienced teachers think of nature-based play and learning?A. A good academic teaching through lively activities.B. A kind of everyday physical activity for all students.C. A practical student activity to feel the beauty of nature.D. A survival adventure to train students to live independently.33. Why do most teachers have difficulty adopting nature-based play and learning?A. They think students won’t like the learning.B. They are w orried about parents’ disagreement.C. They have not enough time and experience.D. They have got used to the classroom teaching.34. How can nature-based play and learning be widespread?A. By offering leachers a pay rise.B. By adding it to the required curriculum.C. By reducing students’ homework and tests.D. By replacing current teachers with younger ones.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Teachers and nature-based play and learning.B. The recommended everyday physical activity.C. The harm to children from screen-based activities.D. Nature-based play and learning’s benefits for children.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。

哈九中2020-2021学年度下学期4月考高—英语试卷2021. 4.第I卷（选择题，共80分）第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共20小题；每题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AThe best drones （无人机）you can buy right nowDJI Mavic Air 2 （$800）DJI Mavic Air 2 offers clear improvements over previous products. It can shoot 4K videos at 60 fps, along with still photos of up to 48 megapicels （白万像素），while the drone's flight time has been increased to 34 minutes （up from 21）. The drone itself starts at $800, but adding the Fly More Combo pack on to your shopping list gives you three batteries and some additional items for another $200.Mavic Mini （$400）Mavic Mini's advantages are its size and weight, the latter of which comes in at just under the 250-gram mark. The biggest drawback is that it doesn't shoot 4K like DJI's higher-end drones, but you'11 still get some impressive 2.7K videos and 12-megapixel still images.Ryze Tello （$110）There may be a handful of clear favorites when it comes to higher-end drones, but things get quite a bit more confusing if you' re just looking for a cheap flyer to try your hand with. While there's no mistaking this for a pro-level piece of equipment, Ryze Tello benefits from a partnership with DJI that gives it some reliable capabilities for the price. DJI Inspire 2 （$3,300）What can professional movie makers get in DJI Inspire 2? A lightweight body, a flight time of 27 minutes, and an amazing 5.2K video quality. Besides, it has retractable （可收回的）landing equipment, and you can turn the camera 360 degrees without anything blocking the view. To fully use DJI Inspire 2, one pilot is needed to pilot the drone and the other to control its camera.1. What has DJI Mavic Air 2 been improved?A. Its weight and flying range.B. Its camera and flying time.C. Its battery and top speed.D. Its size and flight ability.2. Which of the following drones is the best choice for a beginner?A. DJI Mavic Air2.B. DJI Inspire 2.C. Mavic Mini.D. Ryze Tello.3. What is one typical feature of DJI Inspire 2?A. Its camera is able to shoot 4K videos at 60 fps.B. It can fly for an hour on a single battery charge.C. It can be operated by two people at the same time.D. Its landing equipment is made of special materials.4. In which section of a newspaper would the text most likely appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Culture.D. Technology.BWe took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August, and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be. Toward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on. At that point in a road trip, even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home, I hit the brakes, and we began to roll, slowly, behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again. We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again. Just-cut hay and a ba rn full of dairy cattle.At five miles per hour, you remember what you forget at sixty-five. You are thinking about a place, even when you are moving from place to place.I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home, and also a writer and a gardener. But, for me, those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life: I want to cultivate a place and share it with others.The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in 1880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land, and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers, keep a baker's dozen of egg-laying chickens, and, since we moved in three years ago, we have planted many, many trees.Living with my life's purpose does not allow for much travel. I need to be here, feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget, and we spend it on trees.But I learned something at the end of our family road trip. Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place. When 1 slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there, travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places.5. What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?A .The tiredness of her past family life.B. Her disappointment at the family road trip.C. The family's eagerness to return home.D. Kids' excitement at driving fast on the road.6. Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?A. Because she made way for a horse-drawn carriage.B. Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road.C. Because she needed a break after the long drive.D. Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life.7. The underlined word “placemaker'' in the 4th paragraph refers to someone who.A. devotes most of his energy and time to building his houseB. is ready to help anyone in need in the communityC. makes a creative design for others' housesD. is good at cultivating a place and sharing it with others8. What can be the best title of the passage?A. On the Way HomeB. Never Travel againC. Escape from a Family LifeD. Life on the FarmCUnder the bright white lights of a central exhibition space in London, a few people are sorting themselves into groups. An instructor tells those who feel extremely worried about climate change to go to the far end of the room. Those that areless worried should stay closer to her. Moments later, she is almost alone. Thirty feet away, strangers awkwardly crowd together, signaling that they suffer eco-anxiety.This workshop, organized by Kings College London, is one of several events organized in London to help people work through the feelings of anxiety, depression and grief that arise from confronting （面对）the fact. According to the UN, we now have less than eleven years to prevent catastrophic climate change.The American Psychological Association first defined the eco-anxiety as “a chronic（长期的）fear of environmental doom （厄运）As climate protests and a series of natural disasters put climate on the news agenda, eco-anxiety has exploded across the world. Mental health studies reveal a surge in people reporting stress or depression about the climate.Eco-anxiety is not the same as the clinical disorder, though physicians say fears about the climate can worsen or trigger （激发）pre-existing mental health problems. "In fact, in most cases, eco-anxiety is no more than a healthy response to climate crisis, says psychotherapist Caroline Hickman, a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance.When it comes to treatment, experts say taking action — either by changing your lifestyle to reduce emissions or taking part in activities —can reduce the level of anxiety. But before getting started, you need to talk about your feelings ,“Hickman says, stressing that we need to accept our vulnerability （脆弱）.9. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Most people have no idea of what eco-anxiety is.B. Many people suffer from the feeling of eco-anxiety.C. People have many reasons to worry about climate change.D. Many people want to hide their worries about climate change.10. What does the word “surge" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. steady decreaseB. slow growthC. rapid declineD. dramatic increase11. What does Caroline Hickman think of eco-anxiety?A. It can give rise to new mental problems.B. It can hardly be cured in a short time.C. It can be regarded as a normal feeling.D. It can solve climate crisis faster.12. What does Caroline Hickman advise people to do to deal with eco-anxiety?A. To discuss it with experts.B. To turn to doctors for help.C. To admit we have such feelings.D. To share our feelings with friends.DThe gender gap in maths-related subjects is obvious. In almost all countries, far fewer women than men choose STEM （理工科）careers.It's not that girls and women arc bad at maths. In the UK in 2020, for example, 39% of 18-year-old girls who studied maths at A-level achieved an A or A+, compared to 42% of boys. For A-level physics, 29% of girls achieved the top two grades, compared to 28% of boys. But in both subjects, boys heavily outnumbered girls by more than 3:1 in the case of physics. So why are so many girls turning their backs on these subjects?A study published recently in the journal PNAS suggests that the answer may in fact lie in male-female differences in academic ability, but the ability in question is reading, not maths. Thomas Breda, at Paris School of Economics, and Clotilde Napp, at Paris Dauphine University, wondered whether this male-female difference in reading could help explain the gender gap in STEM careers. Every three years, hundreds of thousands of 15-year-olds in more than 60 countries takepart in the PISA study （国际学生评估测试）.Students complete tests in maths, reading and science, and answer questions about their future career intentions. When Breda and Napp looked at the data from PISA 2012, they realized they were onto something.“There were small gender gaps in maths performa nce at 15 years old, but these gaps were too small to explain the huge gender segregation in STEM," says Breda. But for reading, the tables were turned; the girls were much better than the boys. As a result, when a boy and a girl had similar scores in maths, the girl usually had an even better score in reading.When Breda and Napp compared each student's scores in reading and maths, they found the greater a student's advantage in reading, the less likely they were to plan a career in maths, even when their maths score was also high. Notably, this was true for both boys and girls.“It makes a lot of sense,“ says Sarah Cattan, of the Institute for Fiscal Studies. "It shows that what matters most when boys and girls choose their field of study is not how good they are in maths or in reading, but how good they are in maths relative to reading.”13.What do the data in Paragraph 2 show?A. The average gender difference in maths performance is small.B. Those who are good at maths are also good at physics.C. Physics tends to be easier for girls than maths.D. Girls are not better than boys at maths.14.According to Breda and Napp, who is most likely to plan a career in maths?A. Tom whose maths is worse than reading.B. Lisa whose maths is better than reading.C. Lily whose reading is better than maths.D. Jack whose reading is as good as maths.15. According to Sarah Cattan, what do students value much when making further study choices?A. Their comparative strength instead of absolute ability.B. Their gender advantages in a specific academic field.C. Their future job landing possibility in an industry.D. Their particular interest in a certain subject.16. What is the best title for the text?A. Why are we drawn to STEM careers?B. Are boys worse at reading and writing?C. Why are girls bad at maths-related subjects?D. Are good readers more likely to give up maths?EPm a professor of rhetoric and literature. Whether it is global literature or historic literature, or pictographs （象形文字），I teach all of them. Literature is the chronicle （编年史）of the human condition over time. It shows exactly how people advance with technology and awareness of social issues. It can cultivate people with the good character and affect their lives.Why do we find pictograms or cave paintings filled with animals that lived in the area? They are the communication of location information during the nomadic eras. That is fairly nice of one group of people to tell the next tribe what to cat. Why do we have cave paintings of Nessie or other horrible monsters? Pick any piece of the cave paintings from across the globe and ask whether it is designed to share with others and warn others, and you'll know it shows the prowess of thehunters or their honor to others. All of these appear in different ways during different times; they are all the foundational elements, including some big events.And humans naturally move toward discovery. We look to space or observe animals and plants to better understand ourselves and the world we are living in. We write down what we have discovered, which becomes part of literature. On the Origin of Species is foundational, biological literature but it's also literature. We find ourselves by reading classic literary works and literature can offer heartbreak or hope or both or give us a window into all of life.Functionally, think of those famous and able generals, who were written into the global history because they had not only read but also understood The Art of War to the point of being able to apply it with ease. Anyhow, literature benefits us. If you are able to read it and understand it, it becomes a part of you. And you are likely to apply those emotions and intelligence in daily life without realizing it.17. Which is excluded from the category of literature according to the author?A. Music records.B. Cave paintings.C. The Historical Records.D. On the Origin of Species.18. What is one of the purposes of ancient people using these pictograms?A. To show what food they had eaten.B. To point out what nomadic eras are.C. To indicate where the animals were.D. To tell hunters how to hunt animals.19. What does the underlined word "prowess" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Tool or weapon.B. Harvest or capture.C. Skill or technology.D. Bravery or fearlessness.20. What does the author try to show through the example of those generals?A. Literature affects our emotions.B. Generals like reading literature.C. Literature helps people become successful.D. Literature has something to do with wars.第二节（共5小题：每题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。

2021-2022学年浙江省绍兴市高二下学期期末调测英语试题1. EAST ORANGE, N.J. (CBS New York) — A third grader who knew what to do in an emergency and took action is being credited with saving a life at school.Kori Scott, 9, was honored Thursday by the mayor of East Orange, New Jersey for her quick-thinking and bravery when a friend began choking in the lunchroom about two weeks ago.“I could just tell, because when I saw her starting to swallow, she stopped and started pounding on the table,” she told CBS2’s Clark Fouraker. Scott said her friend was eating a burrito and left the cafeteria at Bowser Elementary looking for water. “I started following her and when I came out, she was holding onto a rail,” she said.It would be an urgent situation for anyone, but Scott remembered something important as she left the lunchroom —her friend would not be able to take a drink of water, because she was choking. “I knew if she was holding onto the railing and she went to lean her head over, she would have hit her head and she would have passed out,” she said. “So I pulled her over, did the Heimlich maneuver —one, two, three. But I did it one more time to make sure that she wasn’t choking.”“I picked her up from school. The teacher came out near-tears and she was like ‘Kori did an exceptional job, an amazing job today.’ And I was like, ‘What?’ She said, ‘she saved a life.’” Scott’s mother, Kiana, said. Scott learned to do the Heimlich after her father performed it on her when she was three.“Kori’s smart instincts (直觉) and quick action are the characteristics of a true hero,” said Mayor Ted Green. For her bravery, the mayor is making Scott “Mayor-For-The-Day” on Friday.Her friend may not be alive today if the girl hadn’t kno wn exactly what to do and sprung into action. In addition to learning the Heimlich maneuver from her father, Kori has been training classes with her mother, a security guard with the school district.1. What do we know about Kori Scott?A．She is careful and quick-minded.B．She performed Heimlich maneuver before.C．She received first aid training from her mother.D．She panicked at the sight of her friend’s choking.2. What is the text mainly about?A．Father’s previous performance guaranteed Scott’s success.B．First-aid techniques enabled Scott to escape from danger.C．The teacher was satisfied with Scott’s heroic deeds.D．Scott was honored for saving her choking friend.3. What is the text?A．A short story. B．A research paper.C．A news report. D．A course advertisement.2. We live in a time when robots entertain, teach and surprise us. Just as smartphones and social media offer a connectivity beyond anything we imagined, robots are beginning to offer physical capabilities and artificial intelligence (AI) beyond our expectations. Together, these technologies could be used to help solve important challenges like ageing societies, environmental threats and global conflicts.But many of us wonder whether AI will become so intelligent in human communication that the boundaries between human and artificial beings will blur. If it is possible to build a meaningful interaction with an artificial agent, will there still be a division in the relationships we have with people and technology? Also, once our human bodies and minds are enhanced with AI and robotics, what will it mean to be “human”?From an engineering perspective, these advanced capabilities are still very far away. A number of hurdles need to be overcome. For now, robots and computers are completely dependent on a power source — they require a lot of electricity, and this complicates integrating robotic elements with human organic tissue. Another hurdle is the complexity of human communication. While a one-off natural language conversation in a specific context with a robot can feel realistic, engaging people verbally and non-verbally over many contexts is quite another matter.For example, when you call an artificial lost-and-found agent at an airport, a pleasant conversation is possible because there are only a limited number of goals the caller has. However, in creating a more extended relationship, for example, with a robotic pet, the robot needs to have internal goals, an extensive memory that relates experiences to various contexts, and it needs to develop these capabilities over time.Through smart “tricks”, a robot can seem more intelligent and capable than it is. Humans have the tendency to “make sense” of the robot’s behaviors in a human way. However, in order to sustain a meaningful relationship which deepens and evolves over time, an extensive artificial inner life will need to be created.1. What is the message conveyed in paragraph 2?A．AI technology is undergoing unexpected reforms.B．Humans can’t build a meaningful interacti on with robots.C．People doubt whether artificial beings can replace humans.D．Social problems may be solved with the development of AI.2. What can be inferred about AI from paragraphs 3 — 4?A．Gaps exist between technology and advanced AI capabilities.B．It is impossible to make a realistic conversation with a robot.C．Robot pets have a memory linked to previous experiences.D．Future robots can operate without electricity.3. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Robot’s Behaviors Are Worthy of Being UnderstoodB．Various Factors Restrict Expansion of AI CapabilitiesC．High Technologies Facilitate the Man-machine InteractionD．Artificial Inner Life Needs Extending for Sustainable Human-Robot Relations3. The majority of people are unable to commit to a healthy long-term lifestyle — although they are somehow willing to! There seems to be a paradox here.We become more aware of the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle on a regular basis. Yet, we just don’t manage to. We may engage in a variety of short-term projects: 1-week detox retreats or 1-month severe diets. But the benefits these short-term activities produce are quickly lost as we are dragged back to our “bad” habits in the longer-term. The inability to stick to a healthy lifestyle makes us feel frustrated and unhealthy. What is the way out then?The first step is to understand the problem more deeply: What are the main obstacles of pursuing a healthy lifestyle? Which are the fundamental aspects to a healthy lifestyle? How are they interconnected? If we understand the problem and its components more deeply, we are one step closer to coming up with a solution.Surveys show how in 85% of cases in the US and Europe, the main obstacles to pursuing a healthy lifestyle are to be found among lack of awareness, time, self-control and guidelines.“Humans tend to heavily discount the future, meaning things that we have now are more valuable to us than things we’ll have in a few years.” said A. Braun in 2019. For this reason, we cannot correctly weigh the costs and consequences of choosing unhealthy habits today, and we tend to give in to short-term pleasures, although this means reducing longer-term benefits.We deliberately choose to experience and enjoy short-term pleasure, mainly because of a stress condition we may have, or because of personality. The underlying reason for these behaviors is primarily stress, as neuroscience discoveries in fact suggest, “In general, stress results in habit behavior in humans, so dealing first and foremost with stress is probably advisable when you are looking to make lasting changes. Luckily, your brain can change throughout life. Decreasing stress could finally help your brain become less easily influenced by habit.”1. Why do people engage in various short-term projects?A．To delete a bad habit. B．To keep healthy in lifestyle.C．To go on a severe diet. D．To solve the paradox.2. What is the obstacle of pursuing a healthy lifestyle?A．Lacking enough self-discipline. B．Gaining no reward from working out.C．Having no motive when making D．Relying on too much guidance fromschedules. others.3. By quoting A. Braun’s words in paragraph 5, the author wants to .A．highlight the association between habits and lifestyleB．stress the long-term value of adopting healthy habitsC．show a trend of pursuing long-term pleasuresD．convey people’s commitment to a healthy lifestyle4. What can we learn about neuroscience discoveries?A．Changing brain activities helps decrease stress.B．Personality contributes to one’s short-term pleasure.C．People’s habit behavior tends to dominate their emotions.D．Reducing stress is the key to sticking to a healthy lifestyle.4. Relations between Architecture and CultureA country is not only identified by its people and government, but also by its architecture. 1 For example, when one thinks of India, we think of the Tahj Mahal. The Egyptians are another amazing example. Their environment and culture produced the great pyramids. How do modern cultures produce and maintain such beautiful architecture?Slovenians gained independence in 1991. The country is now economically the most progressive one. It is now helping to modernize the factories and by doing so has actually helped lower poverty rates. Generally, their world around them is modernizing. 2 Everyday life focuses in the squares, churches and the marketplace. These Slovenian towns have many well-preserved buildings with styles of architecture dating back from the 1100’s. Many churches suc h as Sticna Abbey and Podsreda Castle are magnificent examples of the Roman architecture.3 For centuries, homes have been made out of mud houses built along the main dirt road. The roof could be used for an oven, to hold chickens, or just as storage. Cairo, one of the larger cities, the older parts of it are still the heart of Egypt although built with Islamic and Coptic monuments.Chinese architecture probably has the most cultural influence. Traditionally buildings were designed for its width, not its height. Every important building is guarded around a large wall to protect their assets. While ordinary dwellings are grey and dull, palaces and places of importance are quite colorful. 4 Each Chinese home has their entrance at the front and facing the east with a screen because it is believed that spirits travel straight and cannot go through screen.Every culture can inspire a type of architecture that can range from landmarks to everyday homes. Religion and family seem to be the most common influences overall. 55. My journal pages are filled with interesting short travel stories. One of my most __________ funny stories happened while I was backpacking South America — specifically during a 4-day tour from Atacama in Chile to Uyuni, Bolivia.The trip took us __________ the desert for three days to see spectacular __________ like hot pink lagoons (洪泄湖) where wild creatures search for food, a(n) __________ train graveyard, the world-famous Uyuni Salt Flatsand, the __________ of the whole tour.During the trip, we shared a car with four or five other people. At one point, I was sitting in the front seat, __________ to come across the most awesome landscape. The car was getting really hot under a(n) __________ sun. Our driver didn’t speak English, but I spoke __________ Spanish — or at least I thought I did.“Estoy caliente!” I said, looking right at the driver. To my confusion, instead of __________ a window, he looked puzzled, or maybe __________.I decided it was pro bably my New York accent __________ him. “Estoy caliente!” I said again, this time in __________ I thought was a more local-sounding __________.
