Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work inMinneapolis. She stopped at a traffic
light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and shouted. “Hey. I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I was really hoping to get a haircut.” Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his hair immediately. After the work was done, the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said. Up to now, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts around the city to people with little influence, and she is strongly aware of the power of her cleanup job. As a teen, she suffered from a severe disease, causing her hair to get thinned, so her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut. “To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own barbershop so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology (美容术) school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets. Her aim was that by doing some kind acts, others would be inspired to spread their own. “Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely peoplelooked,” she said. “I thought maybe I’d go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I can’t fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.” It all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” said Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.” 1. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By making a comparison. B. By giving a reason. C. By raising a question. D. By describing a scene. 2. What made Stellar start the Red Chair Project? A. Her mother’s love for her. B. Her interest in cosmetology. C. Her care for those in need. D. Her wish to fight severe diseases. 3. What did Stellar expect from the project? A. To spread kindness. B. To solve social problems. C. To deal with relationships. D. To make people look smarter. B I was checking out at the supermarket counter on Wednesday night, ready to pay for my bananas, when all of

2020年湘东中学高三英语上学期期中试题及参考答案 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 A
I started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a
“maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error. Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing. This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses. There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal. 1. How can we describe the young author? A. He opened a small grocery store. B. He did a lot of research in the lab. C. He enjoyed doing hands-on activities. D. He learnt about maintenance from his father. 2. What do the underlined words “the task” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Getting some financial support. B. Selling a tiny house on wheels. C. Reaching out to many local businesses. D. Offering the students some problem-solving skills. 3. What can be inferred about the Homebuilding class from the last paragraph? A. Its size needs increasing. B. Itis popular with the students. C. It has caused some safety concerns. D. Its classroom environment is hard to manage. B “They’re harming your brain.” “They’re ruining your eyes.” “They’re turning you into a violent person.” The

Stairs are available in many places. And research shows stair-climbing is more effective than walking on level ground. “Overall, it is a fact that stair-climbing gets you fit faster and consumes more calories,” said Lauri van Houten, vice president of the International Skyrunning Federation. The organization oversees a number of activities that involve climbing.“How many calories will I burn is the question everyone wants to know,” van Houten said. “Here’s the good news: The overall energy expenditure of the exercise depends on your weight. Therefore, the more you weigh, the more you burn,” she said.Studies indicate that going up stairs consumes approximately 20 times more calories compared to walking on flat ground. Additionally, descending stairs burns roughly five times as many calories on account of the work from your muscles to decelerate your body movement. Thatmight be all you need to know if you are trying to lose weight. Dr. Alberto Minetti of Italy’s University of Milan has done a large amount of research on human movement — including stair — climbing. It is an exercise everyone can do and does not cost money, he said.Minetti did the math to explain why going up stairs is so effective for burning calories in a short amount of time. “To move 1 kilogram of body mass over one horizontal meter, you expend 0.5 calories,” he said. But, he added, “If you move 1 kilogram of body mass vertically on stairs, it’s 10 calories. So it’s 20 times the calories moving vertically rather than horizontally.” Trained as a doctor, Minetti has spent his career as a researcher. He suggested that older people and beginner stair climbers watch their speed. Minetti does his own stair-climbing at his home in Milan. He said he often takes a few deep breaths before going up the many stairs. In a scientific study, Minetti makes the point that using your arms in stair-climbing adds extra power. Handrails offer safety, too.The study notes that handrails are available along most stairs in very tall buildings. Using them increases “the muscle mass involved...” by getting the arms involved, the study shows. “They are relatively small muscles in the arms, but better than nothing,” Minetti said. If stair-climbing were an Olympic sport, Australian Suzy Walsham would own gold medals. Walsham told the Associated Press that stair-climbing is a good form of exercise for many kinds of people.4．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．Stair-climbing contributes to climbers’ health.B．Stair-climbing is harmful to the climbers’ skeleton.C．Stair-climbing is the most effective way to lose weight.D．Stair-climbing needs high-standard equipment for exercise.5．Why does going down stairs burn more calories than walking on the ground?A．Because it is an exercise everyone can do.B．Because you are heavier while going down stairs.C．Because your muscles have to work to slow the body.D．Because the overall energy expenditure of exercise depends on your weight.6．Which of the following statements does Menetti agree with?A．It is unnecessary to warm up before climbing.B．Using handrails may avoid the potential danger.C．Experienced stair-climbers can pay no attention to their speed.D．You will expend more calories to move horizontally than vertically.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Calorie Burning FactsB．A Sure Way to Burn CaloriesC．Suggestions on Climbing StairsD．Weight Loss Through ExerciseThe buildings in which we live, work and shop shape our experiences. The construction and maintenance of these buildings also require significant resources. So a growing number of architects are trying to design buildings while keeping both sustainability and quality of life in mind. The term “green building” can refer to one of these structures or to the process of constructing them.Any structure is considered a green building if it fits certain criteria. Most of these criteria have to do with environmental concerns, especially those related to climate change. For example, green buildings are made of sustainable materials and use water and energy efficiently as well as renewable energy sources. Green-building advocates do care about the humans involved, though; one of the criteria is that the building will improve its occupants’ quality of life.Sometimes a single feature contributes to more than one criterion. For example, many green buildings have large windows, which save energy on lighting. But natural light also has health benefits for humans, such as increasing vitamin D production, improving sleep and reducing seasonal depression. These windows thus kill two birds with one stone, saving energy and keeping people fit.The construction process for a green building should also have minimal environmental impact. This means it should be energy efficient, avoid pollution and minimize waste.A commercial building in Hong Kong, includes numerous features that employ new technology to improve its occupants’ well-being. For example, they cool the building using chilled beams rather than air vents, and then eliminate uncomfortable drafts. In addition to conventional air filters, they also used a paint that purifies the air, improving air quality in the building beyondwhat a filter could do alone.It’s just one of the many green-building projects carried out by the World Green Building Council. It is an organization with branches all over the world that collaborates with businesses, organizations and governments to encourage green building. Its website lists numerous examples of green buildings and highlights some of the features that made them successful. These buildings include residences, office buildings and more.8．What are the characteristics of the green building?A．It should be built in the woods.B．The essential colour of the building is green.C．It is environmentally friendly while supporting quality life.D．The maintenance of this building doesn’t consume natural resources.9．What are the advantages of using large windows in buildings from the passage?A．They are energy efficient and good for health.B．The buildings with large windows are more beautiful.C．They are good for cutting the cost of building the house.D．The occupants can have a better view with large windows.10．What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Cause.B．Activate.C．Prevent.D．Remove. 11．What does the World Green Building Council do to promote green buildings?A．It sets strict regulations for construction companies.B．It certifies green buildings based on a single criterion.C．It cooperates with many groups to foster green building.D．It provides financial support for building green buildings.An early text-to-video AI tool called ModelScope, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability to accurately represent the text prompt — some users even described the video that it created as “nightmarish”. While a year later, text-to-video AI would blur the line between the digital and the real.If you’ve ever used a text-to-image generative AI tool like DALL-E, you’ll see that text-to-video tools work in a similar way. The user provides a prompt, like “cat swimming in a fishtank”, and the tool creates a video based on everything it knows about cats, water, fish and the physics of how they might interact. The tool makes use of what are known as “visual patches”, building blocks of data that help the AI to understand how everything in the scene should interact and progress, frame by frame.Tools based on a diffusion system, like OpenAI’s Sora, are trained to recognize objects so they can refine images by filtering out the incorrect visual patches. This process could be compared to a worker melting raw gold multiple times in order to remove all its flaws.One of the remarkable things about OpenAI’s Sora is that it can generate content in a variety of styles. When the project was disclosed last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence (遵守) to the user’s prompt.”But there are constraints to Sora’s capabilities. As OpenAI shows in some demo videos, the physics of how objects interact in the videos doesn’t always make sense. Sometimes people or objects will blend together, transform into other things, disappear or appear out of nowhere. But if the technology can bound from the bizarre spaghetti video to where it is now in a year, these limitations probably won’t last long.Meanwhile, you can still experiment with simple text-to-video tools like invideo AI, a product that was created with marketing, content creation and education in mind. It’s perfect for creating online tutorials, “explainer” videos or providing visuals for a short story.12．What can we infer from paragraph 1?A．ModelScope was widely praised.B．ModelScope can correctly analyse text to the users.C．Text-to-video AI received negative feedback eventually.D．Text-to-video AI has improved significantly over the past year.13．How can OpenAI’s Sora improve images?A．By recognizing the objects around.B．By creating content in various styles.C．By removing inappropriate visual patches.D．By working in the same way as ModelScope.14．What message does the last paragraph convey about invideo AI?A．It may fall out of use.B．It will be highly profitable.C．It may increase daily expenses.D．It will take ages to see the future result.15．What is the main idea of the passage?A．A great leap for creative AI.B．The functions of various AI tools.C．The limitations of OpenAI’s Sora.D．A demonstration of making a video.How to Stay Focused in ClassYou want to learn, you want to listen to your teacher, and you want to absorb all of that information in class — but it can be hard to focus on a lecture when your mind wanders. So staying focused in class is essential for effective learning. Here are some tips to help you pay attention in class.Remove distractions. If you want to concentrate in class, start by removing distractions. Physical removal is the best way to deal with distractions. 16 Or if you have a habit of using your phone, keep it in your locker.Prepare before class. Look over your homework, read your textbook, or review previous notes. This will get your brain into “class mode” and help you focus. Additionally, set up your desk or workspace before class and make sure you have everything you need. 17 Sit in the front of the class. 18 Studies show that students who sit in the front generally have better grades. Avoid sitting with friends if you’re not tempted to talk. Sitting in the front allows you to keep an eye on the teacher and board.Participate in Class. Contributing to the lesson by asking and answering questions can keep you engaged. It also signals to the teacher that you’re trying to pay attention. 19 Write down important parts of the lesson and use different colors or a highlighter to make key points stand out. You can also reorganize it after class for further research.20 Focus on the present moment and avoid daydreaming. If your mind wanders, refocus on the lesson. Create your own motivation by finding personal connections, interestingfacts, or setting small goals. Reward yourself after completing tasks. Practice paying attention through activities like meditation. If you’re struggling, talk to your teachers. They can offer personalized solutions.Taking care of your body. Getting enough sleep is crucial. Aim for 8 to 12 hours for optimal focus. Have a healthy diet with foods like leafy greens, fatty fish, berries, and nuts. Drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine and sugary drinks. Exercise can relieve tension and improve concentration. Try to be active between classes or during breaks.A．Practice paying attention.B．Adjust your thought patterns.C．If your mind wanders, focus on the lesson.D．Taking notes is another great way to focus.E．This can help you stay organized and ready to learn.F．A better environment can help you focus more on the lesson.G．If you know a classmate is distracting you, try sitting somewhere else.二、完形填空Matt Stutzman, a remarkable American disabled archer (弓箭手), was born on December 10, 1982 in Kansas City.He was cast aside by his 21 parents due to being born without arms.

One day when I was 5, my mother blamed me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play
outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. When angrily opening the screen door (纱门) with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys. Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have blamed my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it.

Iwould wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhapscould not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me.
