AWhale Camp at Marine Science InstituteCamp Type: Overnight, Family, InternationalAge of Campers: 10-18Year Established: 1984No other marine (海洋的) science program enables you to closely observe and study whales, dolphins, and seals in their own natural habitat. Board our 60-foot sailboat for unmatched observations of marine life. Helpcollect data to document whales’ dist ribution patterns and behaviors. Gain hands-on experience using our marine science equipment. Explore the powerful and endangered processes of life in the sea.Some summer programs teach you about marine science and oceanography (海洋学) with lots of time in a classroom, lab or museum. We take you directly to the source for the best observation and experience. This is why the Whale Camp is the place where inspiration, exploration and discovery abound (很多). This is why there’s only one Whale Camp.We are located on beautiful Grand Manan Island which was recently named the third best small island in the world to visit by the travel experts. The location is ideally situated in the Bay of Fundy where the highesttides in the world create one of the world’s ri chest and most diverse marine ecosystems.In our years of experience, we’ve observed numerous whales on over 98% of our research trips. Whale Camp offers more research trips per session than any other summer camp program. The diversity of bird life at sea and on land is extraordinary. Only the Whale Camp takes you to the highly restricted Machias Seal Island to be surrounded by many rare creatures. Each day at Whale Camp is a life-changing experience. With our seas and planet in danger, we believe it’s m ore important than ever for us to learn how to protect the systems of life that sustain (维持(wéichí)) us.1.

Who might be mostly interested in this article?A. TeachersB. TravelersC. ScientistsD. TeenagersBWhen Rudyard Kipling created the character of Mowgli, an orphaned boy who was adopted and raised by wolves in the forests of India, he would havenever guessed that one day there would be a child that would actually livea similar life.Born in Windhoek, Namibia in 1990, to Sylvie Robert and Alain Degre, both wildlife photographers, Tippi was exposed to the wild residents of the African jungles since the day she was born. Her parents traveled a lot through the country in search of exotic (异国(yìguó)的) animals and thethree often ended up sleeping in a tent in the middle of the jungles. However, unlike Mowgli, Tippi’s parents were always around to protecther and the only wild animals that she interacted with (交流) were the orphaned wildlife that had been raised by humans in national parks. Having said that, these animals were still wild and little Tippi did have a few close encounters (偶尔(ǒu ěr)碰见) like when an ape tried to steal her milk bottle or when a Meerakat thought her nose looked good enough to eat andtook a couple of nips (捏; 掐). The most serious one that her mom canrecall is when Cindy, a baboon (狒狒(fèi fèi)), became a little jealous of Tippi’s thick hair and decided to pull out a handful. But overall, the young girl, who many locals believed had a special connection with animals, led a rather magical life.While her magical life ended when she turned ten and her parents decidedto move back to Paris, her memories were shown in a book called Tippi, My Book of Africa, which not surprisingly has become a huge hit among animal fans. We wonder if the now 23-year-old girl who is studying cinema in Paris,will some day decide to follow her parents’ example and take her kids backto experience what she did.5. What do the characters Mowgli and Tippi have in common?A. They were both orphaned kids.B. They both grew up in the wild.C. They were both very aggressiveD. They were both adopted by wolves6. Sylvie Robert and Alain Degre often traveled in the wild in Africabecause _______.A. they enjoyed living with wild animalsB. they wanted to help out endangered animalsC. they were taking photographs of exotic animalsD. they were looking for animals for national parks7. We know that after Tippi went to live in Paris, she _______.A. didn’t want others to know about her pastB. often had nightmares because of her experienceC. never wanted to go back to live in the wild againD. wrote a book based on her experience in the wild8. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Tippi, My Book of Africa.B. Meet Tippi – the real life of Mowgli.C. Mowgli – a boy who was raised by wolves.D. The new life of Tippi who grew up with animalsCLearning a foreign language can be a difficult task for most people. The degree of difficulty, however, differs from one person to another. Like studying any other subject, we have to spend much effort and time. Besides, an individual’s learning ability can be determined by the following factors.My husband says I am a quick learner, but I easily forget new information, especially dates and figures. But my husband spends more time learning anew subject but seldom forgets what he has learned. Some people can learn new information fast, while others have to work a little bit harder at it. Others retain new knowledge longer, like my husband, while others easily forget what they just learned. How fast and well you learn new things are determined by your genes and your environment. My mother is a fast learner, while my husband has slow learning parents. The way we learn also differs.I like to write down what I’ve just learned. I also find that drawing diagrams and relationships work better for me. Compared with my husband, I hate memorizing data. I remember things better when I can visually picture them in my mind.Foreign language resources are not so common here in our area. I’ve seena few dictionaries in some bookstores but haven’t seen any CD or DVD aboutit. I don’t even think the stores here sell electronic dictionaries! Ihave to go to a big city just to buy one. However, you may easily get allof these materials. Make a list of all the resources you have access to inyour neighborhood. In this way, when you attend a language school, you’llknow just where to find dictionaries to help you in your course.In my opinion, this is the most important factor in learning a foreign language: your drive to learn. Different people are driven by different motivations. I want to learn a new language because I find it challenging. Others may need to learn it because of having a new job or working inforeign countries. The point is to determine whether you truly need or just want to learn a foreign language.9. What does the underlined word “retain〞 in Paragraph 2 mean?A. RememberB. AcquireC. SpreadD.Improve10. Compared with the author, her husband ________.A. likes to draw diagramsB. hates memorizing dataC. learns new things slowlyD. easily forgets newinformation11. What does the author think affects learning a foreign language most？A. The resources one can get in the neighborhood.B. The determination to overcome difficulties.C. The motivation to learn a foreign language.D. The ability to learn a foreign language.12. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ________.A. share her experience in learning a foreign languageB. analyze why people cannot learn a foreign language wellC. tell us how to find the method of learning a foreign languageD. introduce some factors affecting our language learning abilityDWhen a person lies, one of two things will likely happen. One, his liewill be found out, his reputation will be ruined, and he will be weakenedby stress. Or two, his lie will not be found out and he’ll have the needto lie again in order to protect his first lie. Worried that his lies willbe exposed, he will again be weakened by stress.Have you ever been in that position? At some time most of us have. It was embarrassing when I got caught. And it was painful when I worried aboutgetting caught. As I looked back at each situation I realized that I hadlied to make myself look better to another person. What I should have beendoing was making myself look better to me. I knew that in order to do thatI had to change.So I decided to stop lying and tell the truth. In time, I noticed thatother people were friendlier. Family and close friends seemed morecomfortable around me. And my wife began to trust me more. Those were all good things. But the best thing was how much more I liked myself. I was not filled with stress so I slept better. Since I decided to stop lying, mylife has been easier.How about you? Would honesty help improve your life? Would it improve your relationships as it has mine? Now imagine making the tough decision to be honest from now on. Yes, you might slip. But consider what being honest will do for you. If it works for you as it has for me, in time you’ll be aware of how differently people respond to you. They will be friendlier and more trusting. The best part, however, is how much better you feel about yourself. You understand that you are stronger, more courageous, and more confident.13. What will happen if a person lies according to the text?A. The person will be looked down upon.B. The person faces the stress f being guilty.C. The person will be under pressure.D. The person will feel ashamed.14. Why did the author decide to stop lying?A. To make his life much easier.B. To be satisfied with himselfC. To make more friends.D. To be popular with others.15. What’s the purpose of the last two paragraphs?A. To stress the importance of stopping lying.B. To teach the readers how to avoid lying.C. To list the benefits of stopping lying.D. To show his opinions on stopping lying.第二节〔一共(yīgòng)5小题; 每一小(yī xiǎo)题2分，满分(mǎn fēn)是10分〕阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确(zhèngquè)选项。

河北省武邑中学2020-2021学年高二英语下学期6月期末复习试题2第一部分阅读理解 AI want you all to know that I’ve quit social media, and my life has gotten so much better. I mean, it’s only been 15 minutes but I can already tell I’m a different person. Fifteen minutes ago, I stopped using Facebook and Twitter. Within seconds, I noticed I am happier, less irritable, more contemplative (深思熟虑的) and balanced. I’m spending more time on activities that matter. Just in the past two minutes, I’ve looked at a book on my bo okshelf and briefly pondered opening it.I’m truly changing. This is going to sound crazy, but since quitting social media—now, let’s see, 16 minutes ago—all of my senses are enhanced. My eyesight is clearer. Food tastes better. I just smelled the first tulips of spring. I am jolted by a burst of energy. Every morning I am going to meditate or at least lie in my bed and consider meditating.What purpose does social media serve, anyhow? The academics tell us it’s making us miserable—the constant updates from friends with their expensive vacations and gossips about celebrities. If you think about it, the Internet was really only supposed to be for one thing: ordering socks from J. Crew. Then people started posting photographs of their dogs in Halloween costumes, and we all began sending Happy Birthday wishes to classmates we’d lost touch with since fifth grade, and the whole thing became the nightmare.Social media ruins perfectly good human beings. There are people I lovein real life and hate on social media. Worst still, social media stifles( 抑制) creativity. They’ve studied this in rats, you know. Scientists made rats quit using Facebook, and when they came back in a few hours, all of the rats were writing really solid debut novels.It’s been 17 minutes. I have a feeling that my quitting social media is having a physical effect. All I did was quit looking at my phone 900 times a day. I’ll tell them the secret. Quit social media. All of life’s annoying problems will be over. Your relationships will improve. Y ou’ll never feel down. You’ll never get stuck in traffic.Do I miss it? Thanks for asking. I don’t even know why I thought it was so important. I do not need to see the 800th photo from my co-worker’s trip.I have no idea how a hot topic is going on. And i t’s OK. I can’t imagine going back. I’ve quit social media. It’s only been 18 minutes, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to make it a full twenty.1. What was the Internet originally used to do according to the passage?A. To read digital books.B. To do shopping online.C. To make some new friends.D. To share holiday experience.2. The author keeps counting the time in order to ______.A. show how fantastic it is to quitB. prove it a struggling process to quitC. remind himself of the time in quittingD. make a record for his study of quitting3. What is the tone of this article?A. Official.B. Serious.C. Humorous.D. Plain.4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. How I Made an Important DecisionB. Why We Can’t Live Without the InternetC. The Influence of Social Media: Pros & ConsD. Quitting Social Media Will Save Your LifeBMost people have been taught that losing weight is a matter of simple math. Cut calories—specifically 3,500 calories, and you’ll lose a pound. But as it turns out, experts are learning that this decades-old strategy is actually pretty misguided. “This idea of ‘a calorie in and a calorie out’ when it comes to weight loss is not only outdated, it’s just wrong,” says Dr. Fa tima Cody Stanford, an obesity specialist at Harvard Medical School. The truth is that even careful calorie calculations don’t always yield(产生) uniform results.How your body burns calories depends on a number of factors. Three factors affect how your body processes calories.Your gut microbiome (肠道微生物). Trillions of organisms live in your gut, and the important types may influence how many calories your body absorbs from food. This may occur because some types of organisms are able to break down and use more calories from certain foods than other types of organisms. Researchers have found that people who are naturally thin have different typesof organisms living inside them than those who are overweight.Your metabolism (新陈代谢). Each body has a “set point” that governs weight, says Dr. Stanford. This set point reflects several factors, including your genes, your environment, and your behaviors. A region at the base of your brain stands guard to keep your body weight from dipping below that set point—which is not really a bonus if you’re trying to lose weight.The type of food you eat. Your food choices may also influence your calorie intake, and not just because of their specific calorie content. One 2019 study published in Cell Metabolism found that eating processed foods seems to spur people to eat more calories compared with eating unprocessed foods.If counting calories isn’t a dependable way to manage your weight, what can you do to shed extra pounds? Dr.Stanford recommends the following.Focus on diet quality. When planning your meals, focus on choosing unprocessed foods, including lean meats, whole grains, and lots of fruits and vegetables in their natural form.Exercise regularly. Aim to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week. Moderate exercise is done at a level where you can talk, but not sing.Consult a professional. “A lot of people believe it’s a moral failing if they are unable to lose weight,” says Dr. Stanford. But it’s not. As with other medical conditions, many people will need help from a doctor. Successful weight loss may require more than just diet and exercise. “Only 2% of peoplewho meet the criteria for the use of anti-obesity medications actually get them. This means that 98% of people who could be treated are n’t,” she says, “Don’t be afraid to seek help if you need it.”5. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Old theories actually mislead us.B. Losing weight lies in losing calorie.C. Calorie calculations lead to good results.D. Losing weight by losing calorie is outdated.6. The processing of calories is affected by how you ______.A. choose the types of food you consumeB. focus on the quality of your dietC. adjust your brain to the “set point”D. reduce the organisms living in your gut7. T he underlined word “shed” in Paragraph 6 means “______”.A. weighB. produceC. loseD. cost8. It is implied in the passage that ______.A. cutting calories is essential for weight lossB. losing weight can be double-edgedC. healthy eating keeps you losing weightD. a healthy lifestyle is key to weight loss七选五How to pass an important testWhether it's a first grade science test or College Entrance Exam, all tests have one thing in common: you have to pass. 9 .
