2020届河北武邑中学高三英语下学期期末试卷及答案
2020届河北武邑中学高三英语下学期期末试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AMy Biggest ChallengeAs a writer on an adventure sports magazine, I’dalways fought shy of doing the adventurous stuff myself, preferring instead to observe the experts from a safe distance and relay their experiences to readers in the form of written language. Thus, when I was challenged to take part in a mountain climb in aid of raising money for charity-and to write about it afterwards-I was unwilling, to say the least.I was lucky enough to have a brilliant climbing coach called Keith, who put me through my paces after my daily work. He gave me knowledge about everything from the importance of building muscle groups to how to avoid tiredness through nutrition. It quickly became apparent that the mechanics of climbing were more complex than I had imagined. There was the equipment and techniques I’d never even heard of, all of which would come in handy on the snow-capped peak I’d be climbing.Aware of the challenge, Keith made a detailed action plan and I forced myself to stick to it, doing a daily workout at the gym and going on hikes with a heavy pack. I perfected my technique on the climbing wall and even went to climb the mountains to get vital experience. My self-belief increased alongside my muscle power and I became confident about finishing the climb.All too soon I was on a plane to my destination. On that day, when I looked up at the mountain, I thought of abandoning it. But then I remembered all the hard work I’d done and how disappointed Keith would be if I gave up at the last minute-not to mention letting down the charity and the sense of failure I’d experience myself. With a deep breath I gathered my equipment and headed out into the sunshine to meet the rest of the group.And as I sit here now, tapping away on my laptop, I’m amazed at the details in which I can recall every second of the climb: the burning muscles, the tiredness, the minor problems along the way. Could I have been better prepared? Possibly. Would I be back for another go? Thankfully not. The feeling of being excited when I stood on top of the world is a never-to-be-repeated experience but one I will enjoy forever nevertheless.1. At the beginning of the activity, the author revealed his ______.A. disappointment in the coming adventure.B. expectation of writing about his experience.C. lack of enthusiasm for the challenge he’d been offered.D. curiosity about taking part in the mountain climb for charity.2. What did the author realise during his climb training?A. The knowledge about climbing was really confusing.B. The equipment was the key factor to reach the peak.C. Climbing was much more complicated than expected.D. Hard training was far more important than making plans.3. How did the author feel after he succeeded in climbing the mountain?A. He was relieved that he wouldn’t have to do it again.B. He was well satisfied that he had done his best for it.C. He was surprised that he had managed to complete it.D.He was regretful that it wasn’t as smooth as imagined.BWhen I was young, my mother didn't have the money to send me to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4：30 inthe morning.We needevery one of you to develop your talents and your skills so that you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you quit on school—you're not just quitting on yourself, but you're quitting on your country. No one's written your destiny(命运)for you, because you write your own destiny. You make your own future.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time reading a book.But whatever you decide to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work.You're not a good athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practise.4. What can we learn from the first paragraph？A. The writer's home was very rich.B. The writer's mother was a teacher.C. The writer was born in a poor family.D. The writer didn't like reading books.5. What does the writer want everyone to do by improving their talents and skills？A. To quit on their country to earn more money.B. To help solve the most difficult problems.C. To write their own new destiny by working as a TV star.D. To spend some time writing books about their own life.6. Why does the writer call on everyone to set his/her own goal？A. Because everyone's future is determined by themselves.B. Because eyeryone's future is to do simple work.C. Because everyone should do their homework.D. Because everyone should pay attention in class.7. How can people realise their great dreams？A. By rapping.B. By playing basketball.C. By being a reality star.D. By working hard.CHave you ever done something for someone else—knowing that your actions would solely benefit THEM and not YOU? Maybe you opened a door or donated blood or volunteered in a hospital’s ER during the pandemic. This is called a prosocial behavior. Humans engage in these types of behaviors all the time.But a question remains in science: Are we the only species who do this? As one of out closest s, chimpanzees have long been studied for signs of this. So far, research has provided mixed results on the question.Some studies show that chimps cooperatively hunt, share food and comfort each other. But one study came to a very different conclusion. The study used a controlled lab experiment where chimpanzees in enclosures were given two options: push a button to give food to themselves or push the button to give food to themselves AND a partner chimp. If they chose the latter, it was seen as a prosocial behavior. But the result is that chimps showed no special preferences for feeding themselves and a friend over feeding just themselves. Another study conducted by DeTroy, however, discovered a totally different result.Compared to previous controlled lab-based experiments, the setup for DeTroy’s research was very naturalistic.“We installed a button and a fountain into the chimpanzees’ outer enclosures. When an individual pushes the button, it releases juice from the fountain. However, since the button and fountain are approximately five meters apart, the individual pushing cannot directly drink from the fountain. And if any other chimpanzees are at the fountain when the button is pushed, they, and not the pusher, will be able to drink the juice.In this experiment, chimpanzees showed a willingness to act in the interest of others, with individual chimpanzees prepared to push the button without benefiting themselves.“It is really fascinating to see that many of the chimpanzees were willing to prosocially provide valuable resources to the group members even if they couldn’t benefit themselves from their behavior.” said DeTroy.Further research may reveal what lies behind their prosocial motivation. But for now, it’s safe to assume that chimpanzees are not simply aping human behavior.8. Which of the following belongs to prosocial behaviors?A. Jack participated in voluntary work in the library just to earn credits.B. Mark turned to his classmate for help when feeling stressful in study.C. Tim guided a lost child back home on his way to an important job interview.D. Rose often interrupted the teacher to ask questions actively in the math’s class.9. What is the task of the chimpanzees in the lab-based study?A. Sharing food.B. Making a choice.C. Comforting others.D. Showing sympathy.10. How is DeTroy’s study different from the previous ones?A. It was based on controlled lab experiment.B. It gave juice to the chimpanzees as a reward.C. It offered the tested chimpanzees a natural surrounding.D. It provided a chance for chimpanzees to help their partners.11. What can we learn from DeTroy’s quotes?A. Chimpanzees can develop abilities to help others.B. Chimpanzees have acquired many human behaviors.C. Chimpanzees in the wild is cleverer than those in the lab.D. Chimpanzees displayed prosocial behaviors for certain rewards.DWe asked four people who watched an online talk on technology and communication by Sherry Turkle fortheir opinions.Fred:The talk certainly gave me plenty of food for thought about how technology is changing our behaviour. People are constantly multitasking, whether it be emailing during meetings or texting in the checkout queue. It’s as if we can’t bear to miss out on what our online friends are up to, so we juggle the real and online world. My greatest concern is that we don’t give our brains a chance to switch off. It’sthese precious momentswhen we actually process information that helps us make important decisions.Jeremy:It was a fascinating talk and the speaker really hit the nail on the head with a couple of things. Take parental influence, for instance. How can we expect teenagers not to text while doing their homework when they witness their parents posting on social media while cooking the evening meal or waiting at a red light?Kath:So much of what the speaker said rang true. I honestly believe there’s a danger that the more connected we are, the more isolated we feel. I don’t think this is such an issue for my generation who’ve lived without technology for so long. We know how to be alone. But the under 20s are another kettle of fish. They’re so busy communicating that they never experience the feeling of solitude and run the risk of not learning how to enjoy their own company.Carl:I’m not sure to what extent I agree that people are more alone, but the way we communicate has certainly evolved. The speaker makes a good point about how we’re getting used to talking with machines like Siri or robots, which are totally lack of experience of human life. But despite such limitations, we seem to be expecting more from technology and less from each other.12. What does the underlined phrase “these precious moments” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. When our brains are free.B. When we emailing during meeting.C. When we texting in the checkout queue.D. When we juggle the real and online world.13. What suggestion may Jeremy give to the parents?A. Accompany their children when they are doing homework.B. Prevent their children using phone while doing homework.C. Set a good example for their children on using phone properly.D. Stop posting on social media in face of their children.14. What does Kath worry about the under 20s generation?A. They communicate more with others.B. They use more technology.C. It’s difficult for them to find companies.D. They don’t know how to be alone.15. What is Carl’s attitude towards the use of technology in communication?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Indifferent.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

河北省武邑中学高一英语下学期课练5(实验班)
AI was stuck in O'hare airport on an extremely long weather delay, pacing up and down the waiting hall for some exercise, when I passed a wine bar for the twentieth time or so. But this time there was a young woman behind the piano, playing what I could only describe as absolutely beautiful classical music. She had not been there ten minutes earlier when I passed.I sat down at an empty table for four very near the piano, and began to be warmed by her music and a bit by the wine! She played so effortlessly and with such beauty in every note. Her music immediately brought a huge smile to my face!Soon, on a break, I thanked her and she told me that after a long day traveling, and now also facing long weather delays, she "just needed to blow off some steam." Wow! Her version of blowing off steam was a gift to get.As I sat alone drinking my wine, absorbed in this young woman's celebration of her musical passion, two women approached my table an d asked if they could join me.I invited them to sit and we immediately began sharing our love of music and celebrating the happiness the piano music was bringing us at that moment.The two women and I began to talk about our travels, life journeys, and passions. Hearing that unbelievable pian o music, and then meeting such interesting women, who generously shared with me their wisdom, perspectives, and feelings of love for each other, was truly joyous. Faced with an 11- hour travel day -- to get what normally takes 45 minutes --could have been physically and emotionally exhausting. Rather, by accident of walking by a wine bar at the right moment, and having a couple of seats open at my table, my life was filled with joy.I will cherish those moments for some time to come. This experience highlights (突出) the critical need in our lives to stop and listen to the music, to invite others to sit at your life table, to open yourself up to a stranger or two, sharing some of your deepest perspectives and experiences. Be open to noticing, absorbing, and also contributing to the joy around you!21.What does the underlined phrase “blow off some steam” in Paragraph 3 probablymean?A. Reduce anger.B. Relax herself.C. Make full use of time.D. Breathe fresh air.22. How long was the author’s travel supposed to ta ke without weather delay?A. 10 minutes.B. 20 minutes.C. 45 minutes.D. 11hours.23. How did the author feel about the experience in the airport?A. Happy and meaningful.B. Lonely but unforgettable.C. Boring and meaningless.D. Long and tiring.24. The author writes the text in order to encourage people _______.A.to make the acquaintance of strangersB.to share your experiences with othersC.to communicate with others more oftenD.to notice and enjoy the happiness aroundyouBWhile your pet fish may appear to be ignorant of your presence, chances are that it knows you extremely well and can probably even identify you from a crowd of human faces! At least, that is the conclu sion reached by scientists the University of Oxford in the U.K. and the University of Queensland in Australia, following an extensive study of the archerfish (喷水鱼), a species of tropical fish that can be found all the way from India to Indonesia, the Philippines, and Australia.The ability to distinguish be tween human faces is a complex task. That’s because we all have the same basic features — two eyes sitting above a nose and a mouth. It’s only the subtle differences that make humans disti nct from one another. Since this requires a combination of both visual sense and memory, researchers had always assumed that it was a skill possessed only by those with complicated brains, i.e., human s, a few select animals — such as horses, cows, dogs, monkeys and some birds, like pigeons.To test if this assumption was accurate, a team of scientists led by Dr. Cait Newport, Marie Curie Research Fellow in the Department of Zoology at Oxford University, decided to study fish. The aquatic (水生的) animals have small brains that lack the neocortex（大脑新皮层）, or neocortex-like structure, believed to help recognize the subtle differences between human facial features.The team began by presenting four archerfish with images of two human faces. Initially, the fish spat randomly at both. However, they soon learned that pouring water at the one selected by the researchers earned them a food treat. After that, they focused primarily on that image. The researchers then took the experiment one step further, by introducing 44 other human faces to the mix.To the researcher’s astonishment, t he trained archerfish were able to recall the learned image almost 81% of the time. And this accuracy improved to 86% when the researchers made the identification even harder, by replacing the colored photos witha set of black and white images and hiding the shape of the head.25. What is the conclusion of the study made by the scientists from the universities?A. Some fish may ignore your presence.B. Some fish can recognize yourfaces.C. Some fish have complicated brains.D. Some fish have large brains.26. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The ability to distinguish between human faces.B. A combination of visual sense and memory.C.The ability of memorizing complicated things.D.The ability of telling beasts from birds.27. In the experiment, the researchers trained the archerfish _______.A. by taking photos of fishB. by improving people’s imagesC. by rewarding them with foodD. by covering their headsCFallingwater is a house built over a waterfall in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

But designer Mikhail Belyae v doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in your getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street a nd saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞蓬) built into a street lamp,” he said.The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians (行人) shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.32. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?A. To predict a heavy rain.B. To check the weather forecast.C. To protect people from the rain.D. To remind people to take an umbrella.33. What do we know from Belyae v’s words in Paragraph 2?A. His creation was inspired by an experience.B. It rains a lot in the city ofSaint Petersburg.C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.D. He enjoyed taking walks in therain.34. Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?A. motor→canopy→sensorsB. s ensors→motor→canopyC. motor→sensors→canopyD. canopy→motor→sensors35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.B. The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D. The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）As a parent, you must have a lot of concerns regarding the various skills you would like your child to acquire. Music is one of them. 36 On the other hand, it is great for a child’s overall development if he or she has an interest in the fine arts.37 It is well known that they stay out of trouble as teenagers and young adults if they have music as a serious interest. The concentration helps them with their grades. Their learning and communication skills are better than those of their peer group. They also develop lots of confidence and self-esteem.Another advantage of your child learning music becomes obvious only at a later stage. 38 It can be very beneficial and many top musicians had a very early exposure to music and credit this with their later successes.You can start when your child is only a baby, by exposing him or her to a wide range of music at home. 39 And you could sustain (维持) your child’s interest by having the both of you singing together.Some parents start their children on a musical instrument as early as 3 years of age. This i s great if the child is having a good time. It goes without saying that you should not have to drag your child to lessons. You can be sure that nothing productive will come out of it. 40 .If you start your child on music lesson by the age of 5, taking care to encourage her and not to push her, your child will grow up into an accomplished adult with a well-rounded personality.A. It can have good effects on your child.B. That is why many people make a selection of music as a career.C. And your child will have a lifelong dislike of music.D. Otherwise you’ll completely spoil your child’s future.E. You could ensure that there is a song or melody playing in the background.F. There are a couple of advantages of teaching children to play a musical instrument.G. On the one hand, you can encourage your child’s creativity and natural hobby.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discounted model. I realized this a day late, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually,this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.2.Which of the following can best replace the p hrase”signed off”in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies3. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. By having it repaired.4. How does the another sound when telling the story ?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely toencourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, wh ile cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes, Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入） jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.5. The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets6. A home environment in blue can help people_________.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites7. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.8. What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap-year (间隔年)before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated (起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% inc rease in the number of students taking a gap year. TonyHiggins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship – young pe ople are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,” he said.9. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxation.C. It is increasingly popular.D. It is required by universities.10. According to Tony Higgins,students taking a gap year______.A. arc better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobsC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities11. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He's puzzled.B. He's worried.C. He's surprised.D. He's annoyed.12. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional courses.B. Make plans for the new term.C. Earn money for their education.D. Prepare for their graduate studies.DChoose Your One-Day ToursTour A—Bath & Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge —￡until 26 March and ￡39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum.

阅读理解AA sure way to destroy your chances of learning how to write skillfully is to believe that writing is a “natural gift” rather than a learned skill. People with such an attitude think that they are the only ones for whom writing is unbearably difficult. They feel that everyone else finds writing easy or at least tolerable. Such people often say, “I’m not any good at writing” or “English was not one of my good subjects.” They imply that they simply do not have a talent for writing while others do. The result of this attitude is that these people try to avoid writing, and when they do write, they don’t try their best. Their writing fails chiefly because they believe that they don’t have the “natural talent” needed to write. Unless their attitude changes, they probably will not learn how to write effectively.A realistic attitude about writing must build on the idea that writing is a skill. It is a skill like driving, typing, or cooking; and, like any skill, it can be learned. If you have the determination to learn, you will develop your writing skills by practicing extensively.Many people find it difficult to do the active thinking that clear writing demands. It is frustrating to discover how much of a challenge it is to transfer thoughts and feelings fro m one’s head onto a sheet of paper. But writing is not an automatic process: We will not get something for nothing—and we should not expect to. For almost everyone, skillful writing comes from hard work—from determination and sweat. The good news is that the skill of writing can be mastered, and if you are ready to work, you will learn what you need to know.21. Why do some people think writing is difficult?A. They have no time to practice writing.B. They believe few people can write well.C. They have no good teachers to help them.D. They don’t think writing can be learned.22. It can be inferred from Para. 1 that ________.A. “natural gift” is the determining factor in one’s successB. diligence can result in successC. a person without “natural gift” is sure to fail in writingD. attitude determines what one will be23. What is the topic of the passage?A. Why writing is important.B. Whether wri ting is a born gift.C. Benefits of essay writing.D. How to improve writing skills.BBesides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, ecofriendly rain gardens are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby.A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more ecofriendly garden. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak (浸入) slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply.Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a simple, attractive, and eco friendly “green” way to treat storm water.What’s more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment. Without using expensive machinery and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate, soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once native plants establish the necessary root system, they will require little care.Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens intheir yards and in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problem s. However, you don’t need to be a professionally environmental engineer to create a rain garden. As long as you’re eco conscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.24. Which of the following is NOT true for the function of rain gardens?A. They are good for living conditions.B. They increase pollution.C. They can beautify the community.D. They improve the environment.25. Which of the following is the ecofriendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4 ?A. They can help reduce the pollution problem.B. They can keep the rain and storm water.C. They can be healthy for the people around.D. They can make the environment more beautiful.26. One of the main reasons why native plants are recommended is that ________.A. they cost less and are much easier to getB. they may attract local wildlife to comeC. they require little care from the local gardenerD. they are more used to the local growing conditions27. What do we know about rain gardens?A. They need little water after all the plants are planted.B. They may attract local birds and change the local climate.C. They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week.D. They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%.CIt was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple’s case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.Senator (参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.“We asked them if they cou ld find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.“It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F. T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider legislative approach.”The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant (警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.28. The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google _______.A. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy.B. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information.C. to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos.D. to keep them from obtaining the location information for each photo.29. Which of the following statements is True?A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.B. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.C. Privacy invasion from Google has exi sted for a long time.D. Apple and Google have decided to make a change.30. Mr. Schumer’s letter to the F.T.C. mainly shows that the technology to openthe door to privacy invasion _______.A. causes privacy invasion to happen frequently.B. can be used if permitted.C. causes people to worry about the safety of their personal information.D. causes personal information to be posted online without permission.31. Where can we read about the passage?A. In a newspaper.B. In a magazine.C. In a science report.D. In a textbook.DA sick little girl is being kept alive thanks to her best friend—a dog who carries her oxygen tank on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides her bike.Alida was diagnosed with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI) when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter oxygen through extra layers of cells, making it hard or almost impossible to breathe. For Alida and her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the youngster to be able to carry herself. As parents, they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time. The couple found out about “service dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever crossed with a poodle-dog Mr Gibbs. Now thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the do g acting as Alida’s life saver.32. What is Mr Gibbs?A. A pet dog.B. A policeman.C. A doctor.D. A firefighter.33. When did the doctor know Alida caught the disease?A. At her birth.B. At the age of eight.C. Before she was one year old.D. When she was three years old.34. The underlined part “the couple” in paragraph 3 refers to _______.A. Alida’s classmatesB. Alida’s parentsC. Alida’s doctorsD. Alida’s pets35. How did Alida keep alive?A. By training her dog.B. By staying with her parents.C. By playing with her fellows.D. By breathing through a tube.EParents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. 36 According to a recent research, the most common argument between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. 37 On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for dropping the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room.The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different approaches to these problems. 38 For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but later clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s behavior. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the thrills of their actions can do better.39 Parents should talk to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. 40 It is only by listening to and understanding each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.A. There are many reasons for this.B. Communication is a two-way process.C. On the one hand, parents go mad over messy rooms.D. However, some approaches are more successful than others.E. It is better for children and parents to understand each other.F. Then again, teenagers have similar feelings about their parents.G. Psychologists say that communication is the most important thing inparent-child relationships.完形填空The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was ____41____, and I’d been in an argument with a friend.

河北省武邑中学2020学年高一英语下学期课练5（实验班）阅读理解AI was stuck in O'hare airport on an extremely long weather delay, pacing up and down the waiting hall for some exercise, when I passed a wine bar for the twentieth time or so. But this time there was a young woman behind the piano, playing what I could only describe as absolutely beautiful classical music. She had not been there ten minutes earlier when I passed.I sat down at an empty table for four very near the piano, and began to be warmed by her music and a bit by the wine! She played so effortlessly and with such beauty in every note. Her music immediately brought a huge smile to my face!Soon, on a break, I thanked her and she told me that after a long day traveling, and now also facing long weather delays, she "just needed to blow off some steam." Wow! Her version of blowing off steam was a gift to get.As I sat alone drinking my wine, absorbed in this young woman's celebration of her musical passion, two women approached my table an d asked if they could join me. I invited them to sit and we immediately began sharing our love of music and celebrating the happiness the piano music was bringing us at that moment.The two women and I began to talk about our travels, life journeys, and passions. Hearing that unbelievable pian o music, and then meeting such interesting women, who generously shared with me their wisdom, perspectives, and feelings of love for each other, was truly joyous. Faced with an 11- hour travel day -- to get what normally takes 45 minutes --could have been physically and emotionally exhausting. Rather, by accident of walking by awine bar at the right moment, and having a couple of seats open at my table, my life was filled with joy.I will cherish those moments for some time to come. This experience highlights (突出) the critical need in our lives to stop and listen to the music, to invite others to sit at your life table, to open yourself up to a stranger or two, sharing some of your deepest perspectives and experiences. Be open to noticing, absorbing, and also contributing to the joy around you!21.What does the underlined phrase “blow off some steam” in Paragraph 3probably mean?A. Reduce anger.B. Relax herself.C.

At least, that is the conclu sion reached by scientists the University of Oxford in the U.K. and the University of Queensland in Australia, following an extensive study of the archerfish (喷水鱼), a speciesof tropical fish that can be found all the way from India to Indonesia, the Philippines, and Australia.The ability to distinguish between human faces is a complex task. That’s because we all have the same basic features —two eyes sitting above a nose and a mouth. It’s only the subtle differences that make humans disti nct from one another. Since this requires a combination of both visual sense and memory, researchers had always assumed that it was a skill possessed only by those with complicated brains, i.e., human s, a few select animals —such as horses, cows, dogs, monkeys and some birds, like pigeons.To test if this assumption was accurate, a team of scientists led by Dr. Cait Newport, Marie Curie Research Fellow in the Department of Zoology at Oxford University, decided to study fish. The aquatic (水生的) animals have small brains that lack the neocortex（大脑新皮层）, or neocortex-like structure, believed to help recognize the subtle differences between human facial features.The team began by presenting four archerfish with images of two human faces. Initially, the fish spat randomly at both. However, they soon learned that pouring water at the one selected by the researchers earned them a food treat. After that, they focused primarily on that image. The researchers then took the experiment one step further, by introducing 44 other human faces to the mix.To th e researcher’s astonishment, the trained archerfish were able to recall the learned image almost 81% of the time. And this accuracy improved to 86% when the researchers made the identification even harder, by replacing the colored photos with a set of black and white images and hiding the shape of the head.25.

But designer Mikhail Belyae v doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in your getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Pet ersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞蓬) built into a street lamp,” he said.The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians (行人) shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively lowspeed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.32. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?A. To predict a heavy rain.B. To check the weatherforecast.C. To protect people from the rain.D. To remind people to take anumbrella.33. What do we know from Belyae v’s words in Pa ragraph 2?A. His creation was inspired by an experience.B. It rains a lot in the cityof Saint Petersburg.C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.D. He enjoyed taking walksin the rain.34. Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?A. motor→canopy→sensorsB. s ensors→motor→canopyC. motor→sensors→canopyD. canopy→motor→sensors35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.B. The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D. The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）As a parent, you must have a lot of concerns regarding the various skills you would like your child to acquire.
