They only see strange people singing in a foreign language and wearing funny costumes. They're too quick to judge and a lot of people have believed stupid ideas about opera without ever actually seeing one. If one takes opera seriously, with an open heart, and goes to several good live performances, I don't see any reason why he or she would dislike or hate it. The following tips can help you learn to enjoy opera.First of all, if you are new to opera, start with a short, well-known title, such as The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart. In the beginning, avoid difficult operas with complex storylines. If your first experience is not fun, then you will expect all operas to be boring. Moreover, before going to a performance, do a little bit of homework: learn the story of the opera. If you know about the main characters and the story before you start watching, it will be much easier to understand what is happening on the stage. Finally, the most important way to enjoy opera is to keep an open mind. If you believe that you will enjoy watching opera, then you will most likely enjoy it. Think of opera as a live TV show. Opera shows the same things—love and hate, good and evil and humans and nature—that are found in many of today's popular movies and best-selling novels. In fact, many of these movies and novels use stories copied from famous operas!Opera is full of catchy, wonderful melodies （旋律）. It's full of drama and laughter. It's full of wonder and life. Opera can be fun to watch, and it allows the audience to experience different cultures. Many people have enjoyed it for hundreds of years, and by following the tips above, you can enjoy it, too. Indeed, opera will change the minds of the people who once hated it. And most importantly, as one of the most diverse art forms out there, opera helps you appreciate different performance styles from all over the world.4．Many people think that opera is boring because .A. it is like a TV showB. they dislike its storylinesC. they know little about itD. its music style is old-fashioned5．Which is a good way for beginners to enjoy opera?A. To start with a long opera.B. To learn to sing an opera.C. To master a foreign language.D. To get familiar with an opera's story.6．Many famous operas, popular movies, and best-selling novels .A. share a similar storyB. have the same writerC. teach people about lifestylesD. help people keep an open mind7．What does the underlined word “diverse” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Ancient.B. Humorous.C. Various.D. Exciting.C"If music is the medicine of the soul(灵魂), let it play on," said a famous person. I think he said so because probably he got some help from music. Music has some strange abilities. Medical scientists have found that a person that feels stressed can actually listen to some kind of music and become well.The researchers said that since stress comes as a result of life events such as starting a new family, starting a new business, and starting a new job, one can actually listen to good music and feel good because good music touches the human mind in a positive way. Music helps you to forget the life events that make you worried and remember the important events that once happened in your life.[来源Depression(抑郁) is a disease caused by stress, smoking, social problems and so on. Depression is also caused by problems such as failure in business. Depression may bring us weakness, headache, and loss of concentration. Good music makes one remember happy moments or good days. If you play music about love, it makes you feel like falling in love again though you may have had several upset experiences. And such good feelings make you healthy.Anxiety(焦虑) is another health problem that can be controlled by music. Anxiety is a side effect of some major health problems such as cancer of the liver and cancer of the breast. Good music makes you feel relaxed and removes the pains from these diseases and you feel all right.Good music can send you to sleep. And you need to know that sleep puts your body in a healthy condition. Sleep takes away the effects of stress, depression and anxiety from a person.8. According to the famous person in Paragraph 1, music can .A. treat many kinds of diseasesB. help you keep healthy in your mindC. take the place of medicine in treating illnessD. make you remember things that happened9. Good music helps people remove stress mainly by .A. letting people have a good sleepB. making people focus only on important thingsC. showing something new to peopleD. making people think positively10. Which of the following is NOT a reason for depression mentioned in the passage?A. Stress.B. Smoking.C. Loss of concentration.D. Failure in business.11. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. The Health Benefits of Listening to MusicB. Stress Can Bring Us Many Kinds of DiseasesC. Some Diseases Have Something to Do With MusicD. Tips For Us to Live a Healthy And Comfortable LifeDEinstein's $1.5 Million Tip to a BellboyIn addition to being a scientist, a philosopher （哲学家），and somewhat of a funny guy, Albert Einstein was something even more admirable: a good tipper. We know this because a piece of paper the Nobel Prize winner gave a bellboy as a tip sold for more than $1.5 million at auction （拍卖）.As the story goes, Einstein was traveling to Japan to give a lecture series when hefound out he'd been awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. News of the award spreadquickly and Einstein, somewhat bothered by all of the attention, kept himself in hisroom at a hotel in Tokyo.A bit embarrassed by all the publicity he was receiving, Einstein tried to write downhis thoughts and feelings. Just then, a bellboy came to Einstein's room to deliver a message. Not expecting him, Einstein didn't have any small change to tip him, and instead gave the bellboy a pair of the writings he'd been working on. Aware that his fame in the world was rising, Einstein supposedly told the Japanese messenger the notes would turn out to be more valuable than a regular tip if he was lucky.The two notes were both written in German and signed by Einstein himself. The first note offered the professor's “theory for happiness” It read: “A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness （不安）.” The second one simply said, “Where there's a will, there's a way.”Tested or not, the theory does appear to be at least somewhat correct. According to a study of the connection between the life success and well-being of more than 275,000 people, happiness creates personal and professional success more often than success in those areas leads to happiness.Even if his philosophical thoughts contain no scientific value, the notes do shine a little light on Einstein's private thoughts. “What we're doing here is paintin g the picture of Einstein —the man, the scientist, his effect on the world---through his writings,” said Roni Grosz, who is in charge of the world's largest Einstein collection at Hebrew University.Whether the bellboy was able to benefit from Einstein's happiness theory is unclear, but the notes did eventually bringsome joy to one of his relatives when they were sold — the second note brought in $250,000, while the first one that lists Einstein's happiness theory sold for $1.56 million.12.How did Einstein feel about the public attention brought by winning the Nobel Prize?A. ConfidentB.TroubledC. EncouragedD. Regretful13. Why did Einstein give the bellboy the two notes as a tip?A. He didn't have small change with him at the time.B. The bellboy was interested in his thoughts and feelings.C . The bellboy delivered the message that he won the prize.D . The notes would become more valuable than a regular tip.14. From the passage we can know that .A. the second note sold for more moneyB. Roni Grosz is painting a picture of EinsteinC . Einstein went to Japan to give some lecturesD . the two notes brought great wealth to the bellboy15. Which of the following is most similar to Einstein's “theory for happiness”？A . People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.B . Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.C . Happiness is a by-product of an effort to make someone else happy.D .The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.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。

河南省鹤壁市高中2022-2023学年高二下学期第一次段考英语试题含解析
Live with roommates? Have friends and family around you? Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready tojump on that bandwagon.
Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging.
Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my ownbedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. Since I had my own toiletries (洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.

He said the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to lower the intake of sugar.Also，he said the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals.But last week，another report suggested that only a small minority of people have longterm success in dieting.Researchers at the University of California found that most dieters regained their lost weight within five years.And often they gained back even more.But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised.56．All the following is helpful to lose weight EXCEPT________.A．a healthy diet B．physical exerciseC．medical interventions D．being polite to others 57．You are most likely to gain too much weight if________.A．you eat the same number of calories as the number you useB．you take in less calories than the number you useC．you take in more calories than the number you useD．you take exercise regularly on the weekdays58．The third paragraph mainly tells us that________.A．there are four popular dieting plans in the USAB．the Atkins diet has the best effect on losing weightC．lots of women attended diet classes every dayD．dieting plan is the most important59．Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?A．The change of your life habits can help you lose weight.B．You’d better exercise once a week to lose some weight.C．The Atkins diet may be good because of lowering the intake of sugar.D．Some people gain weight back for their unhealthy diet.60．Which one of the following is the best title for this passage?A．Successful Weightloss Plans B．Four Popular Dieting PlansC．What Is the Atkins Diet? D．Few People Fail in Losing WeightBIt had been three months since Ms Miller had started teaching. She was gradually being able to understand all her students, except one, Bob. Bob was the only boy who came to school dressed untidily and sat in the class completely lost in his own world. His performance had been deteriorating gradually with every single day.Ms Miller searched through the progress reports of Bob and was shocked to see Bob used to be the topper in his class. Bob's performance began to slowly decline when his mother fell ill. He was doing badly in each and every subject when his mother died leaving him alone with his father, who was a businessman and had totravel always. Apart from his performance worsening gradually, Bob's nature too began to change. He had forgotten to laugh and showed no interest in any activity. All his friends had abandoned him.One day, Bob was asked to stay back.Ms Miller asked him if he had any problem understanding his lessons. Gradually she began to give him a comfort zone so that he could talk and share. After three weeks, she found Bob gradually improving. He was being able to answer the questions he previously failed. Every day after all the students went away, Ms Miller gave personal attention to Bob and began to spend time with him. Bob improved a lot over the next semester, showing definite signs of progress in his performance.On a Friday, Bob came up to Ms Miller, handed her a box and requested her to open the box on Sunday. On Sunday morning, curious, she opened it and saw a bottle of perfume, half filled. Together with it was a small letter, saying that this bottle of perfume used to be his mother's and he wished Ms Miller to wear it so that every time she was around, he could feel his Mom near him. He thanked her for everything. Ms Miller took the bottle of perfume in her hand and saw a new tag attached to it; it said "Happy Mother's Day”!Ms Miller suddenly realized that it was not she who had made a difference to Bob's life but it was Bob who made her realize what true humanity is!61.

There are many ways to learn English. You can learn from a book, a DVD, on the Internet or by attending classes. One of the most successful ways to improve your English is to join a course in a country where English is widely spoken. The more you practice, the more you will learn. But why learn the English language? English is an important language for anyone who is planning to travel or become involved in business.Many people love traveling, but if their English is poor, it can be difficult to understand signs, read directions and make themselves understood. Before traveling, it is important to understand the culture and customs of the places you visit. Learning basic English before you travel will help you to understand these customs and avoid mistakes that could be embarrassing. When you are traveling, you will also enjoy meeting new people. If you can speak English, you will have a better chance of being able to communicate with the people you meet. Many of your new friends will speak English and others will have English as a second language. Without English, your friendships will be limited as you travel around the world.If you are involved in business, it is important to be able to communicate in English. The Internet, world travel and modern communication systems have made the world seem like a much smaller place. These days business people interact with customers and other business people from all over the world. That makes your English language skills more important than ever. There are many English language courses that major in business communications.

We can infer from the passage that _____.A. learning English well will make you achieve goals more easilyB. learning English only aims at achieving business successC. without learning English, your friendships will be limited wherever you areD. you needn’t learn English if you don’t want to travelPart ⅣWriting(45 marks)Section A(10 marks)Directions：Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Harmless fun and bullying(欺负) separated by a very thin line.This line is crossed on a daily basis，without being known.This full extent of this line crossing isn’t often felt until much later.Blind eyes are often being turned，and the problem is becoming more and more serious.Harmless fun occurs when nobody has hurt feelings and laughter follows.There is no harm in the fun，and all people can enjoy the joking.Bullying occurs when someone is looked down upon.Not every joke is funny,and sometimes we can cruelly hurt somebody without our knowledge.The most difficult part of the line between harmless fun and bullying is the simple fact that everybody has their own line，and even it’s different from time to time，depending on a certain character.Everybody has their own limit of tolerance，and harmless fun that is close to bullying usually gather up the bottled emotions that are ready to break out.No matter how strong the friendships are，words can treat them apart from the root，destroying the very foundation that they have been built upon.The key is that the line should never be crossed.Harmless fun has its time and place，since laughter is the best medicine for what worries you，but it should never be taken to the extreme，where someone is feeling down.The best possible way to ensure that you aren’t the one responsible for linecrossing is to think before you speak.We should first try to understand before we try to be understood.If the words you feel like saying to someone aren’t the words you would want to say to your parent，brother，child，or good friend，then chances are that you should think of something else to say.Saying things behind someone else’s back is no good，either，because those words often find their target finally，and usually the comments have beenmisunderstood and the intention，while perhaps harmless，tends to turn towards bullying.Section B(10 marks)Directions：Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Many people run after goals that they hope will make them happy，but happiness is not always the final result.So how does one decide which goals will end in personal happiness and which will not？How do the things in life affect personal happiness?The most important thing is people’s attitude toward life，which can greatly affect their personal levels of happiness and satisfaction with life.Psychologists have known for some time that optimism is a good way to fight against unhappiness.It’s probably no secret that optimistic people are considered to be much happier people than pessimists.There are specific characteristic features optimists have (pleasant ways of thinking)，that bring them more success，greater health，increased life satisfaction, and other good things.If you became an optimist，it can mean that you became a very happy person，despite your circumstances，and it can actually bring more things into your life to be happy about.“If you are optimistic and you think life is going to get better，it will become a selffulfillment prediction.”says one of the scientists.“Happy people manage to look on the bright side，even if they meet big problems on their way.”Positive psychologists believe that people can learn how to become happy and that everyone can teach themselves to see a half empty glass as half full.All they have to do is to spend time thinking about all the things that have gone right for them，rather than complaining what has gone badly.But people who are depressed usually think and worry about something that went wrong in the past.81．What can affect people’s personal levels of happiness according to the passage? (No more than 5 words)___________________________________________________________________ _____82．Why are some people depressed according to the study? (No more than 14 words)___________________________________________________________________ _____83．How do happy people deal with the big problems in their life?
