A billion thoughts raced through my brain in the closet. I didn’t want to come off as trying too hard, but I also didn’t want to be see n as a slob (懒汉). Not only was it my first day of high school, but it was my first day of school in a new state; first impressions are everything, and it was important for me to impress the people who I would spend the next four years with.This was my third time being the new kid. But this time was different because my dad promised that I would start and finish high school in the same place. This time mattered, and that made me nervous.cotton was comfortable, and the ruffled (有褶饰边的) shoulders added a hint of fun. Yes, this outfit was the one. An hour later, I felt powerful as I headed toward room 1136. But as I entered class, my jaw dropped to the floor.Sitting at her desk was Mrs Hutfilz, my English teacher, sporting exactly the same dress as me. I kept my head down and tiptoed to my seat. I made it through my minute (简短的) introduction speech until Mrs Hutfilz stood up, jokingly adding that she liked my style. Although this was the moment I had been afraid of from the moment I walked in, all my anxiety surprisingly melted away, and the students paid attention as I shared my story. My smile grew as I laughed with the students. After class, I stayed behind and talked to Mrs Hutfilz, relieved to make a humorous and real connection.Looking back four years later, the ten minutes I spent afraid of giving my speech were really not worth it. My first period of high school certainly made the day unforgettable in the best way and taught me that Mrs Hutfilz has an awesome sense of style!4.Why did the author attach great importance to her clothes on the first day of high school?A. She followed her father’s advice.B. She was unconfident about herself.C. She cared too much about her appearance.D. She wanted to make a good impression.5.

Annoyed.B. Confused.C. Proud.D. Embarrassed.7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?A. To share a memorable experience.B. To explore the troubles with dressing.C. To introduce her stylish English teacher.D. To stress the importance of first impressions.CEach country has its own set of national stereotypes (刻板印象), but perhaps the most famous is Britain’s love of tea.According to the BBC, they drink over 60 billion cups each year. The most popular tea type in the UK is black tea. It’s a simple recipe:You find a mug, add a tea bag, pour boiling water, add milk and sugar (according to your taste) and finish by stirring.Usually, the only debate is whether milk should be added before or after the boiling water. But a recent popular video has outraged (使愤怒) Britons after completely changing this long-established method.American TikTok user, Sophie, posted her version of “British tea”, which involved microwaving cold water, then adding milk, sugar and an instant teabag containing powdered lemonade, cinnamon and clove (丁香) leaves.Mainstream media called the method “profoundly disturbed”, and a Twitter user even wrote, “I would rather see tea dumped (倾倒) into the Boston harbor than drink this abomination (可恶的东西).”As you can tell, tea is a precious part of B ritish life, whether you’re having afternoon tea at a fancy hotel or drinking it in a takeaway cup.“Rosie Lee” – a common slang term for tea – first came to Britain in the mid-1600s from China. Since then, the country’s love for it has not declined.Types of tea can even indicate someone’s social class, according to anthropologist (人类学家) Kate Fox. In her book, she notes that “teas get progressively weaker as one goes up the social ladder”, like black tea served during afternoon tea. At the opposite end, yo u have “builder’s teas”, which are standard black teas that are brewed (煮) stronger and include more milk and sugar.Fox added, “Taking sugar in your tea is a lower-class indicator: More than one and you are lower-middle at best; more than two and you are definitely working class.”Despite the disputes (争论) on what makes a perfect “cuppa”, Britons can at least agree on the saying, “No matter what is happening in your life, you always offer tea.”8. What do we know about tea drinking in the UK?A. They drink over 60 billion cups each month.B. They pour boiling water over the tea bag.C. “Rosie Lee” is Britons’ favorite tea type.D. Its history dates back to the 16th century.9. Why did Sophie’s video anger Britons?A. She criticized the way Britons drink tea.B. She added milk after the boiling water.C. Her way of making tea was against their tradition.D. She used a strange tea bag.10. If John is from the upper class, he probably puts ____ sugar(s) in his tea, according to Fox.A. noB. oneC. twoD. three11. What is the text mainly about?A. British tea traditions among different social classes.B. The debate on how to make perfect tea.C. The influence of tea drinking on Britons’ lives.D. Tea drinking culture in the UK.DA little over a year ago on Jan 3, 2019, China’s Chang’e 4 spacecraft did something that had never been done before –landing on the moon’s far side. Ever since then, the rover (探测车) it carried – Yutu 2 – has been sending back pictures of the lesser-seen side of our neighboring satellite.Now, the rover has shifted its sight from horizontal to vertical. In a paper published in the journal Science Advances on Feb 26, Chinese scientists revealed the underground structure of the Von Karman crater (火山口) –the area where Yutu 2 touched down. Using ground-penetrating radar (探地雷达), Yutu 2 was able to detect three distinct layers in the 40 meters beneath the flo or of the crater, which Science News compares to “layers of a cake”.The top 12-meter layer is made up of fine (细密的) dust and soil – a bit like the frosting (糖霜) on a cake. The second layer, stretching another 12 meters below, contains a great number o f large stones that are like “cherries in a fruitcake”, wrote Science News. And the next layer – which runs from 24 meters down to 40 meters – is a mixture of both large and fine materials, just like the whole-wheat bread base of a cake.This “layered cake” provides us with a glimpse into moon’s four billion-year history –and it was likely to be a violent one.According to the study’s leader, Su Yan, based at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the rocks in the layers are possibly leftover debris (碎片) from past impacts, suggesting asteroid collisions (小行星撞击). The finer soil is the sign of smaller meteorite (陨石) collisions, breaking down the rocks into smaller pieces, which were then gradually degraded (降解) by the radiation from the sun.But quite unlike a cake, the moon floor doesn’t just stop at the third layer. Instead, it stretches miles deeper. The reason th at Yutu 2’s data stopped at 40 meters was that it reached its maximum range. It may seem like a pity that it couldn’t go any farther for now, but the truth is that the technology has improved a lot since it was first used in 1972 by America’s Apollo 17 orbiter to map the structure of the moon.“The previous measurements indicated different layers, but they don’t seem to have come up with the level of detail about the physical properties of the subsurface that Chang’e 4 is producing,” Gretchen Benedix, a planetary scientist at Curtin University, Australia, told ABC News.Forty meters down is just the beginning of our research into the moon’s far side. With the aid of new technology, who knows what we could discover if we delved (钻研) even deeper?12.What does Paragraph 2 suggest?A. The rover detected the atmosphere of the moon.B. The rover had left the far side of the moon.C. The rover discovered the Von Karman crater with its radar.D. The rover detected the underground structure of a crater.13. What does the second layer of the crater contain?A. Fine dust.B. Soil.C. Large stones.D. A mixture of both large and fine materials.14. What does Paragraph 5 tell us?A. How important the three layers are to the crater.B. Why the moon probably had a violent history.C. How asteroids changed the moon’s surface.D. Why meteorite collisions happen frequently.15. What does Gretchen Benedix probably think of the measurements of Chang’e-4?A. They lack details.B. They are beyond expectations.C. They repeated the previous study.D. They are praiseworthy.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。

The Gardens by the Bay is one of the most visually striking creations that it has to offer, consisting of large parkland dotted with strange but wonderful structures.BarcelonaEvery year millions of people flood into this colorful nish city to see the unique works of famed architect Antoni Gaudi. The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia is the most popular of these and is still being built, in spite of the fact that work began all the way back in 1882. So if you want to avoid the crowds you can take your pick on your trip.AthensAncient architecture is abundant in Athens, with buildings that have stood for thousands ofyears still managing to tower. From the inspiring remains of the Parthenon to various spirits including Zeus and Hephaestus, Athens is the place to visit if you are eager to see architecture filled with history.DubaiIf you are looking for breath-taking architecture, Dubai will satisfy your curiosity. From the eye-watering height of the Burj Khalifa to the impressive achievement of the Palm Island, everything seems bigger in Dubai and there is luxury in almost every aspect of the city, earning it a serious reputation on the international travel scene.21．What is special about the architecture of Singapore?A．Super modern. B．Extremely old. C．Pretty colorful.D．Rather plain. 22．Which is one of the works of architect Antoni Gaudi?A．Burj Khalifa.B．The Gardens by the Bay.C．Parthenon Temple.D．The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia. 23．Where will you travel if you are curious about old tales behind architecture?A．To Singapore.B．To Barcelona. C．To Athens.D．To Dubai.BI left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water(停滞不前), just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start---there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to mysurprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal---that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck---of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract of the publisher---to be a published writer---is unbelievably rewarding.24．Why did the author decide to write a novel?A．Because she hated her previous jobs.B．Because her parents and friends had encouraged her to do so.C．Because she wanted to pursue her own dream of writing a novel.D．Because she graduated from university with a good degree in English Literature.25．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?A．She became less stubborn. B．She became more stubborn.C．She suddenly lost confidence. D．She gradually gained confidence.26．Who agreed to publish the author’s first novel?A．An agent who she signed with.B．A rights assistant she once worked with.C．An agent who advised her to send her novel out to agents.D．A publisher who she once worked for as a rights assistant.27．Which of the following words can best describe the author’s experience as a writer? A．Tough but rewarding.B．Interesting and smooth.C．Difficult but thrilling.D．Complicated and fruitless.CMy generation---people born after 1990 ---are accustomed to “all-in-platform” life, where we use mobile apps of different platforms to do almost everything in life.For instance, I ordered a cup of coffee on Monday using an online delivery app. Then, I called a taxi by tapping on the app of a ride-booking service. Next, I bought some necessities on shoppingplatform Taobao. That done, I moved on to various other online destinations to get my daily fix of music, reading, social networking and so forth.Platforms now play an increasingly important role in almost all aspects of day-to-day life, not just in economic and political processes. Consumption and social interaction are closely linked to platforms now.But, I began to get confused recently. I thought I was being treated differently. My friend and I called a taxi at the same time on a ride-hailing platform (打车平台) and found that for the same destination, the prices were different. The price indicated on my phone was higher. One of the potential reasons could have been that I regularly use the ride-hailing platform and have a higher ranking while my friend doesn’t use it that often. So, the ride-hailing platform offers discounts to newbies like her, to attract and have such customers.China’s latest efforts in regulating monopolistic (垄断的)or improper market behavior are of great significance in protecting consumers’ lawful rights.“The essence of platform-based monopoly (垄断) is that a large number of users are gathered on only a select few platform companies, leading to uneven data gathering different platforms. But in China some platforms use their own data and traffic (流量) to expand capital in a disorderly way,” said Wang Yong, deputy director of the Institute of Economics at Tinghua University.Data monopoly also brought another inconvenience for consumers---platforms block links to each other. For instance, link to We Chat Pay of Tencent is not available on Alibuba’s Taobao while there is no Alipay link on JD app’s payment options.“More efforts should also be made to strike a good balance between personal information protection and interconnection between platforms. Companies are being encouraged to further develop data safety technology so that the data are available but not visible.”28．What is the author’s purpose in writing Para.2?A．To offer some tips on using apps on mobile phone.B．To share his experience with mobile apps.C．To further explain what is “all-in-platform” life.D．To help readers familiarize themselves with mobile apps.29．What could be inferred from Paragraph 4?A．The author encountered so called “big data price discrimination”.B．The author and his friend were treated differently by taxi drivers.C．Due to the author’s higher ranking, the platform offered him a cheaper price.D．The ride-hailing platform offers discounts to regular customers.30．What is the author’s attitude towards data monopoly?A．Sympathetic. B．Approving. C．Critical. D．Grateful. 31．What does the passage focus on?A．Data monopolies and the inconvenience they bring to mobile app life.B．Mobile apps have greatly changed our lives.C．How to protect personal information on mobile apps.D．Platforms have impacted every aspect of our daily lives.DMove over, helicopter parents. “Snowplow (扫雪机) parents” are the newest reflection of an intensive (强化的) parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, texting their college kids to wake them up so they don’t sleep through a test, and even calling their kids’ employers.Helicopter parenting, the practice of wandering anxiously near one’s children, monitoring their every activity, is so 20th century. Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines moving ahead, clearing any difficulties in their children’s path to success, so they don’t have to suffer failure, frustration (挫折) or lose opportunities.It starts early, when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them. It gets more intense when school starts: running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team.Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children don’t ever meet with failure, but it’s not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting. This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children, regardless of income, education, or race.Yes, it’s a parent’s job to support the children, and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for thefuture when their children aren’t mature enough to do so. That’s why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid getting angry or take away a teenager’s car keys until he finishes his college applications.But snowplow parents can take it too far, some experts say.

D．Its ending. 34．Why does the author mention parents’ taking away car keys?A．To show teenagers are no better than babies.B．To advise teenagers not to treat their cars as toys.C．To advise parents not to buy cars for their teenagers.D．To show it’s appropriate to help children when necessary.35．What’s the possible result of snowplow parenting according to the experts?A．Children lacking problem-solving ability in reality.B．Children mastering more key life skills than parents.C．Children gaining great success in every aspect of life.D．Children meeting no problems or frustration after growing up.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分,满分12.5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.选项中有两项为多余选项.Has this ever happened to you?

She turned to her mother with an angry expression on her face. “Mom, they’re all little kids! I’m 15 already! This is ridiculous, isn’t ?”“I know, Ada, ” replied her mother, “but you’re a beginner, too, and you have to start somewhere!”Ada had never been to a swimming lesson in her life. Between schoolwork and helping on her grandfather’s farm, she hadn’t had time for lessons. The closest swimming pool Ada had been to was the inflatable (充气的) alligator pool her mother bought her when she was five. Now that Ada was older, her mother had found a new job in the city, and Ada faced a new challenge — school field trips to the local pool.The first day that Ada went with her class to the pool, she had no idea what she was in for. What could be so difficult about swimming? Ada confidently slipped(溜) into the water and held onto the side of the pool, expecting to be able to touch the bottom with her feet. But when Ada let go of the side of the pool, she slipped under the water—the whole pool was one big deep end! Ada threw her arm toward the side of the pool and grabbed(抓住) the ledge (池壁), out of breath. “I really can’t swim! Everyone’s going to laugh at me!” she thought to herself in a panic.On the next field trip to the pool, Ada sat on the side of a bench, frozen with fear. She huddled (蜷缩) with a towel over her shoulders, too embarrassed to try again. When she came home, her mother noticed right away that Ada was upset. “Honey, I want you to take Bella’s swimming lessonsat the local pool. Soon you’ll learn how to swim just like everyone else,” she convinced Ada, showing photos of Bella with her prize-winning students. Ada felt doubtful whether the lessons would help, but she had to overcome her fear.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.Then came the time for Ada to take her first lesson.________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________Soon Bella came over to where Ada sat and introduced herself.________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________高二学年上学期期末考试英语答案第一部分听力（共两节,每题1.5分,满分30分）1-5 CABAA 6-10 BABCA 11-15 BBBAC 16-20 BABCB第二部分阅读（共两节,每题2.5分, 满分50分）21-25 ADCCC 26-30 DACAC 31-35 ADCDA 36-40 CGDBE第三部分语言知识运用（共两节,满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分,满分15分）41-45 DBABC 46-50 CADAC 51-55 BDCAB第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分）56．importance 57．that/which 58．our 59．to measure 60．but61．are called 62．typically 63．mentioned 64．a 65．of第四部分单词拼写（共7小题；每小题1分,满分7分）66. promoted 67.influential 68.sympathy mitted70.vital peting 72.intention第五部分单句语法填空（共8小题；每小题1分,满分8分）73. with 74. it 75. obtaining 76. was being decorated77. at 78.However79.exposed 80.crying第六部分书面表达（满分25分）【正确答案】Paragraph 1Then came the time for Ada to take her first lesson. She dragged her feet to the side of the pool and sat down, in doubt whether lessons would be helpful. Scanning around, Ada spotted her instructor across the pool, together with the little kids who jumped into the water like fish leaping into the ocean. She watched in amazement. Envious as Ada was, a flush of embarrassment soon crept to her cheeks when a little girl passed by, asking her not to be scared. How embarrassing! Ada sat there, with her legs swinging loosely in the water, and looked around seeking some help.Paragraph 2Soon Angela came over to where Ada sat and introduced herself. She said to Ada, “Hi, Ada! I’m Bella, your swimming instructor. I’ll bet you feel a little strange here with all these young kids, right?” Ada nodded her head silently, flushing with embarrassment. Ada was astonished to be made aware that Angela had never learned swimming until she was 20. Greatly inspired, Ada now regained hope. She entered the pool in the company of Angela. Several cheerful kids floating near to cheer her on. Ada began to feel more at ease, her movement less stiff and her breath more even.With a grateful heart, Ada realized that she might not be a fearless swimmer, but she would surely have fun trying.。

Instead, he ended up writing For Whom the Bell Tolls， not returning to the story about the old fisherman until January 1951． It won him the Pulitzer in 1953，and was specifically cited when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954．8.What does the underlined phrase "laying out" in the second paragraph mean？ ______A.

The contents of the letter．D. The popularity of the writer．10.What inspired Hemingway to write The Old Man and The Sea besides his own adventure？______A. Henry Strater's account．B. Carlos Gutierrez's story．C. Max Perkins' life experience．D. Nate D Sanders' description．11.Which is the correct order of time for the following facts in the passage？ ______①Hemingway wrote a letter to describe his adventure．②Hemingway caught a big blue marlin．③The letter was sold at auction．④The Old Man and The Sea won the Nobel Prize．A. ①③②④B. ②①④③C. ②④①③D. ②③①④DIn 2019，a big revolutionary technology shift will finally occur，which is called 5g． It is a once-in a-decade upgrade（升级）to our wireless systems that will start reaching mobile phone users in a matter of months. This new times will leap ahead of current wireless knownas 4g by offering mobile internet speeds that will let people download an entire 120-minute movie within a secondBut this is not only about faster smart phones，but also will affect many other kinds of devices， including industrial robots，security cameras，drones（无人机），automatic cars，video games，sports，shopping and traffic data．With 5g technology，a clearer and truer 3D images will be formed and it can be off-loaded to other machines wirelessly，freeing users to move and making it easier to develop goggles（目镜）the size of eyeglasses. People can point a smart phone camera to a football game and see both live video on the display and player statistics or other data. Moreover 5g powerful effects extend to remote medical surgery and other fields that increasingly rely on high-speed connections．Officials in the United States and China regard 5g networks as a heated competitive edge．It can help spread the use of artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies．Meanwhile，to get the benefits of 5g，users will have to buy new phones，while carriers will need to install new communication services， which will create a huge future market. In order to occupy it first, the famous world wireless service providers such as AT&T, Verizon, Samsung, Huawei have already declared that they will enter 5g business and showed their 5g new smart phones．However, in the United States, Verizon and AT&T will offer their 5g service with first use of high frequencies known as millimeter waves that can pump data at high speeds, but their signals don't travel as far. Instead Sprint and T-Mobile plan to start with lower frequencies, whose result may be somewhat slower initial speed，but wider range，although they all claim that they have mastered 5g technology．Thus they only first target the areas with large population. So 5g's full benefit to all are not expected until the main US key carriers upgrade their key switching equipment, which may happen in late 2019 or early 2020.12.Which of the following is least likely to be affected directly by 5g technology？ ______A. Eating habits．B. Traffic management．C. Artificial intelligence．D. Remote medical operations．13.What does the underlined world "it" in the second paragraph refer to？ ______A. to use 5g technology freelyB. to get a clear 3D imagesC. to free users move wirelesslyD. to develop goggles the size of eyeglasses 14.Why did the world-famous wireless providers hurry to declare they would enter 5gbusiness？ ______A. To serve the people all over the world．B. To meet the need of the world market．C. To start the heated hi-tech competition．D. To occupy this large hi-tech market first．15.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the US 5g technology？ ______A.It is perfect enough to be put into use in the whole US at present．B. It cannot benefit all Americans before the key equipment is upgraded．C. It is too backward to be applied in any part of the US now．D. It will never be widely used all over the US in the future．第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AFast-food chains including Burger King and Starbucks have brought in plant-based meat products in China in an effort to promote healthy eating and protect the environment. Readers share their opinions.Linda (China)I just don’t get it. If you want something that tastes like meat, you’d better eat meat. Plant -based meat is highly processed. It is not as healthy as vegetables. It contains unhealthy amounts of fat, salt and artificial additives. Regular exercise, along with a well-balanced diet, is the best way to stay healthy.Terryfoy (UK)Our human body was not designed for us only to eat vegetables. We are designed to eat meat. The protein that our body must have to survive comes from the meat we eat. Our bodies function properly with the correct balance of meat and vegetables. Too much meat and we get fat, too little meat and we get skinny and weak. If you want to be healthy, you must eat a balanced diet of both meat and vegetables.Taikor (Malaysia)Start with a huge cutdown on meat. Regarding pigs, do you know they could outsmart you on Playstation games? Don’t be surprised. They’re much smarter than dogs. So they do better at video gamesthan some primates (灵长类动物). Pigs are extremely clever animals. They're gentle, defenseless creatures. Start doing it now. It’s time we made a change.Sockmonkey (Singapore)I could never be a vegetarian. I eat very little meat, but I love the meat I do eat! If one has to cut down onmeat, it seems that red mea t is the first thing to be minimized since it’s not as good for you as other types.1．What does Linda think of plant-based meat? A ．Unhealthy. B ．Necessary.C ．Delicious.D ．Well-balanced.2．Who suggests that humans have less red meat? A ．Linda and Taikor. B ．Linda and Terryfoy. C ．Taikor and Sockmonkey.D ．Terryfoy and Sockmonkey.3．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A ．To introduce the harm of eating too much meat.B ．To show us different opinions about eating meat.C ．To inform us of the advantages of a balanced diet.D ．To state the necessity of protecting the environment.BMoving to a foreign country is an amazing, life-changing experience. It’s an opportunity to meet new people, make yourself completely involved in a different culture and possibly learn another language. However, before embarking on such an adventure, there are some practical decisions that need to be made. One such decision is choosing where to live.For me, choosing to live with a French family was the best choice I made, and here is why.Firstly, a family can show you around the city or town and help you settle in, stopping you from feeling lonely. When you’re in a new environment with people you don’t know who are speaking a language you’re still not fluent in, you might feel lost, tired and homesick — I know I did. However, my host family were wonderful and welcoming; they showed me which buses to take to get to work and cooked dinner for me so we could eat together, and took me with them on trips to the beach, the theatre and even a bullfight. These were great opportunities to experience French culture and build relationships, which in turn helped me feel more comfortable and welcome.Moreover, living with French people has been brilliant for helping me improve my language skills. Being constantly exposed to authentic French conversation has allowed me to learn new phrases, widen my vocabulary and even improve my accent. My host family are happy to answer my questions and correct me when I say things wrong, which makes me a better and more confident French speaker.Finally, the experience of living abroad is one that you will remember forever, and perhaps the friendships — like the memories — will also last. Your host family might become your friends for life. You此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号might return for their birthdays, weddings, holidays, and much more. I hope to remain in contact with my host family long after I leave France because when I was away from my friends and loved ones, they welcomed me and made me part of their family.4．What does the underlined phrase “embarking on” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．Remarking on. B．Setting about.C．Depending on. D．Putting about.5．Where did the writer choose to live when moving to a foreign country?A．In a dormitory. B．In his own apartment.C．In a host family. D．In his friend’s house.6．What is the advantage of living with French people?A．Improving his French skills.B．Feeling homesick and lonely.C．Making friends from different countries.D．Introducing English culture to the French.7．How does the writer develop the passage?A．By making comparisons. B．By following the order of time.C．By following the order of importance. D．By listing detailed reasons.CIt is reported that a record-breaking high-speed rail will connect Inner Mongolia in the north to Hainan in the south. According to the Shaanxi Development and Reform Commission，the proposed line will operate at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour（217 mph）.Beginning in Inner Mongolia's Baotou city and running through southern Shaanxi，Hubei，Hunan，Guangxi and Guangdong，its final stop would be in Haikou city on Hainan Island，China's southernmost province．Though the exact length of the proposed route has not been released，it will likely become the world's longest high-speed rail line as the journey by road between Baotou and Haikou is approximately 3,000 kilometers(1,864 miles)long. Currently, the world's longest high-speed rail line is almost 2,300 kilometers long （1,429 miles）,running from Beijing to Guangzhou.The proposed rail is part of China's aim to create another “Silk Road of the 21st Century” and improve the country's transportation network while driving land development and urbanization（城市化）in some provincial areas.Many of the provinces through which the high-speed trains will travel are near major bodies of water，such as the Yellow River in Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi province, the Yangtzi River in Hubei and the South China Sea，where the line would end．It will also take passengers to popular tourist attractions including Zhangjiajie, Xi'an, Guilin and minority areas in western Hunan and Hubei．"The country is now shifting its focus and investing in the western regions and economically underdeveloped areas, making up for China's long debt to these areas,“ Tan yuzhi, professor of the School of Economics and Management at Hubei University for Nationalities，told local media．" The project will significantly narrow regional disparities（差异）and solve minority issues.”However，Deng Hongbing，director of China University of Geosciences' Center for Regional Economic and Investment Center，said that if the north-to-south railway is to go ahead，there needs to be a sound ecological program in place to ensure the protection of these underdeveloped and ecologically sensitive areas．8．What is the passage mainly talking about?A．China has decided to invest in the western areas.B．Another high-speed train line is being planned.C．The train will speed up to 350 kilometers per hour.D．China has produced the best high-speed train line.9．How many provinces will the proposed line cross?A．9 B．8C．7 D．610．Once the high-speed rain line is built，______.A．It will be the most convenient high-speed rail line in ChinaB．It will benefit the underdeveloped areas a lot in the westC．It will transport goods faster from north to southD．It will do good to the environment alongside the line11．What is Tan Yuzhi's attitude towards the proposed project?A．Ironical. B．Doubtful.C．Puzzled. D．Supportive.DThe world’s biggest COVID9-9 vaccine (疫苗) study started on Monday. A total of 30,00 volunteers will help test the effectiveness and safety of a shot developed by the National Institutes of Health and drug maker Moderna.The volunteers will each receive two doses (剂量) of a shot. They will not know whether they are getting the real vaccine or false version (版本) Scientists will then closely follow the volunteers as they go about their daily activities. They want to see which group experiences a higher rate of infections (感染), especially in areas where the virus still is spreading unchecked.Volunteers from more than 80 test areas across the country will take part in the study. Moderna said the first vaccines were given Monday morning in Savannah, Georgia. The U.S. government requires its tests of any vaccine that might be used in the country. The aim is not just to test if a vaccine works, but also to check if it is safe.Through the government-funded COVID-19 Prevention Network, the U.S. plans a new study for vaccine candidates (候选人) each month through autumn. Each will involve30, 000 newly chosen volunteers. The hope is that, by using the same rules for each study, scientists will be easily able to compare the vaccines. In August, the U.S. will carry out its final stages of Oxford University’s vaccine candidate. The study of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine will s tart in September. Drug maker Pfizer also plans to carry out its own 30,000-person study this summer.That is a lot of volunteers needed to test possible vaccines. But in recent weeks, more than 150,000 Americans have registered to volunteer for the studies, says Dr. Larry Corey. He is with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Institute in Seattle, Washington. It normally takes years to create a new vaccine from start to finish. But this time, scientists are setting speed records.12．What can be learned according to the second paragraph?A．The volunteers will be divided into two groups.B．A false version will influence the volunteers poorly.C．Every volunteer gets two doses of shot at different times.D．Scientists will keep the volunteers in a special place.13．What do you know about the vaccine test?A．This test involves volunteers from different countries.B．Some volunteers have been injected with the vaccine.C．The aim of the test is to see how the vaccine works.D．The U.S. government intends to do tests nationwide.14．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．The tests need many more than 150,000 volunteersB．The vaccines made in a hurry have not potential safety issues.C．It is hoped that vaccine is the best hope against the virus. D．It is better to put off using the vaccines on humans.15．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．COVID-19 Vaccine Starts Test with VolunteersB．Moderna Are to Develop COVID-19 VaccineC．150,000 Registered to Get COVID-19 VaccineD．COVID-19 Vaccine Gets Support from U.S. Government第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
