All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo forever.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacheeared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like bird ”she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It’s time we got a new one for the school anyway. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.”

His team was facing adversity (逆境) on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment---it was the opponent's home gym filled with their supporters, and Nathan's team was trailing (落后) for three quarters of the game. As for me, I had been dismissed from my job earlier in the day.During my drive home, I kept telling myself that I will find work again in a short time----I am confident in my experience and abilities. This is the same belief that I tried to instill in my son.The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan' S team still trailing. I saw the determination on his, as well as his teammates' faces as they fought back to not only tie the game (平局), but then go ahead by three points. Then, a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again. With a tie game and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence, he proceeded to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul (犯规).As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points, I saw the focus and determination on his face, there was no room for self doubt. Nathan was able to tune out all the distractions and nail the free throw with such skill, it was as if he had done it a thousand times.As I sat there, my heart bursting with pride, it dawned on me. I had taught him perseverance in the face of adversity, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He will play in the finals, but it doesn't matter if he wins or loses, at this moment, we both won.24. What did the author estimate his son' s team would be like at first?A. The team would lose at home court.B. The team would finally win.C. The team would lose at visiting court.D. The team would win the championship.25. Which of the following words can best describe the authorA. Self-confident and optimistic.B. Self-doubting and pessimistic.C. Hardworking and intelligent.D. Easy-going and warmhearted.26. What does the underlined phrase“tune out”in Paragraph 4 mean?A. FocusB. AvoidC. CreateD. Receive27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. My son would win in the finals and I would 1ind a job soon.B. I had once taught my son face to face that we should never give up.C. It was my encouragement and help that made my son win the game.D. I would become more confident about my future after this experience.CMore than a billion people around the world have smart phones, almost all of which come with some kind of navigation app such as Apple Maps or Amap. This raises the age-old question we meet with any technology: What abilities is our brain losing to these apps? But also, importantly: What abilities are we gaining?Talking with people who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps, I often hear a lot of annoyance with digital maps. North/south direction gets messed up, and you can see only a small section at a .time. I can really understand that it may be quite disturbing for the already skilled to be limited to a small phone screen.But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me. Although being a frequent traveler, I'm so terrible at finding my way that I still use Apple Maps almost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years.In many developed nations, street names and house numbers can be meaningful, and instructions such as go north for three blocks and---then west make sense to those familiar with these rules. In Istanbul, however, where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals seldom use street names. Besides, the city is full of winding and ancient alleys(小巷) that cross with newer avenues at many angles. In such places, you 'd better turn to the locals. In the countryside, however, there is often nobody outside to ask. In fact, along came Apple Maps, like a fairy grandmother whispering directions in my ear. Since then, I travel with a lot more confidence, and my world has opened up.Which brings me back to my original question: While we often lose some skills after depending on new technology, this new equipment may also allow us to gain new abilities. Maybe when technology closes a door, we should also look for the doors it opens.28. Why do people who are skilled at reading paper maps feel upset?A.They are interested in reading paper maps.B. They don't know how to use navigation apps.C. They are confused by digital maps’ direction.D. They are limited to a single smart phone app.29. According to the text, which is the best way to find the destination in Istanbul?A. Asking local people the way.B. Following the navigation app.C. Getting familiar with the city rules.D. Looking for street names and house numbers.30.What's the author 's attitude towards the navigation apps?A. SkepticalB. AmbiguousC. CriticalD. Favorable31. What could be the best title of the passage?A. Benefits of Navigation AppsB. Have Navigation Apps Worsened Our Brain?C. My World Opens Up by New TechnologyD. Disadvantages of Navigation AppsDThe other day, I bought an expensive anti-aging cream that promised to make my face look several years younger that other women by fighting free radicals. It made me curious about what free radicals are. Is the anti-aging cream the only ways I need to protect myself?"As a scientific term, free radicals are essentially unstable atoms, “says Arizona-based doctor, Natasha Bhuyan. M. D.“In medicine, they cause cells to break down over time and are linked to aging.A super simple chemistry review for you: Atoms from different elements are the building blocks that make up water, nitrogen and more. Electrons (电子) are the negatively charged atoms, and they like to be in pairs. When an electron loses its partner, it creates a free radical, which is usually unstable and highly reactive. Free radicals typically go through the body to seek out a replacement for their missing electron, and that can result in damage to cells, proteins and DNA.So how do free radicals form and why do they happen? Bhuyan says, “Scientifically, free radicals are unpaired electrons that are seeking a mate to bond with. The theory behind free radicals is that they can lead to the imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants (抗氧化剂).”Another mini-science lesson for you: Antioxidants are natural or man made matters that can help delay or prevent some types of cell damage. They' re often found in fruits and vegetables.A lot of the aspects of modern life-our diet, lifestyle and environmental factors like pollution, can cause oxidative stress. Over time, oxidative stress weakens cell and tissues and can leave you more easily to certain health issues including cancer: And, as beauty marketers are keenly aware, oxidative stress can also speed up the aging process. Now that your know free radicals can weak on your health, you re probably wondering if there are any ways to prevent them from forming or at least to minimize their negative effects.32. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?A. Explain the process of aging.B. State' the formation of free radicals.C. Describe the harm of anti aging cream.D. Introduce the topic of free radicals.33. Which of the following do free radicals refer to?A. Steady atoms.B. Unpaired electrons.C. Replacements of atoms.D. Functions of electrons.34. What can we learn about antioxidants from the text?A. They can slow down the damage of some cells.B. They do harm to cells, proteins and DNA.C. They have never been found in nature.D. They always keep balance with free radical.35. What will the author probably tell us next?A. What exactly oxidative stress is.B. How beauty marketers promote sales.C. Whether free radicals can be prevented.D. Where a variety of diseases come from.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。
惠州中学-第一学期开学测试题(英语)
惠州中学2019-2020学年度第一学期开学测试题(英语)(考试时间: 50 分钟满分: 100分)20190901姓名班级得分一、阅读理解(共4小题:每小题2分，满分8分)Plastic can be found almost in everything. That includes toys, cars and computers. Most plastic cansshould be recycled. However, many types of plastic are often thrown away. Much of the plastic rubbishends up in the ocean. It gets there mainly from litter on land and over-flowing sewers(下水道) .The rest isthrown directly into the seas. It's reported that about 8 million tons of plastic flows into the seas each year.That's equal to a garbage truck full of plastic every minute. Plastic can not fully break down, so once itreaches the ocean it will float on the sea or sink into the bottom and then it may kill the wildlife.In response to this problem, the United Nations (U.N.) hosted is first-ever Ocean Conference. At theconference, the UN’s 193 member nations reached an agreement They agreed to try their best to protectthe ocean from pollution. "The sea has a special relationship with all of us in the world, but the relationshipis under threat now," said Antonio Guterres, the secretary-general of the UN.Countries in Asia have agreed to take some measures. The promise from China, Thailand, andIndonesia is hopeful. They produce up to 60% of all marine plastic waste-because of leakage(泄露) fromunderdeveloped garbage-collection facilities.Good news is that some scientists and companies worldwide are developing ways to keep plastic outof the ocean. They are trying to remove it and recycle it. For example, the Dell, a computer company, iscreating laptop packaging(包装) from recycled plastic rubbish. Dell predicts that the project will prevent16,000 pounds of plastic from entering the ocean.“We hope to encourage more companies to do somethingfor the growing environmental issue," Carly Tatum says, who is a Dell spokeswoman.However, environmentalists are not so optimistic. They warn that there is no quick way to preventplastic pollution. Maybe the real solution is that every county in the world should makestronger laws onthe plastic pollution.1.According to the passage, how do people usually deal with most plastic?A.By recycling it.B. By burying it.C. By throwing it away.D. By making it harmless,2. What does "this problem"in Paragraph2 refer to?A. The ocean is seriously pollutedB. The wildlife in the ocean is dying out.C. Plastic fails to fully break down.D. Too much plastic rubbish flows into the ocean.3. What does the writer think is probably the best way to prevent plastic pollution worldwide?A. Producing less plastic waste.B. Taking measures to recycle plastic.C. Encouraging all countries to make related stricter laws.D. Developing more ways to keep plastic out of the ocean.4. What's the main topic of the passage?A. Plastic pollution in the ocean.B. The influence of plastic on the environment.C. Debates on plastic recycling.D. Measures on protecting the ocean.二、七选五(共5小题:每小愿2分，满分10分)It's natural to feel some stress about taking a est. In fact, sometimes a little stress is a good thing. Hereare some tips.1.Your memory recall will be much better if you've had enough rest. In a scientific study, people whogot enough seep before taking a math test did betterthan those who stayed up all night studying.。

AEvery superhero, no matter how small, needs a cape (斗篷). That was Rose Smith’s motivation when she started sewing superhero capes for kids with cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases.It all began when Rose heard of a girl named Anna. Anna was fighting against a deadly skin disease called harlequin ichthyosis (丑角鱼鳞癣). What she was going through was really tough, but she faced it bravely. “I had an ‘aha’ moment,” says Rose. “Anna was a superhero! She needed a cape.”So Rose sent her one, and Anna’s mother was delighted. After that, Rose found ten more kids online and sent out ten more capes. Before long, she quit her job at a software company and worked full time for the website — www. , where people can buy handmade capes for brave kids facing illness and disability.Since 2013, Rose and her small paid staff have sent more than 12,000 handmade capes to kids in all 50 states and 15 other countries. The capes can be made in different colors and can be decorated with the child’s first letter of names or special designs, including a heart or a rocket.One kid who received such a cape was five-year-old Gary. He was born with heart defects (心脏缺陷). Rose sent him a red cape with a bright yellow G in the center. It was a hit. Gary, who is now a frequenter on the company’s social media posts, becomes a very well-known kid. In fact, two years later, “W e still bring Gary’s cape with us to every hospital appointmen t, as it brings him much power to face his disease,” sa id Gary’s mother.1. What inspired Rose Smith to make capes?A. The bravery of the sick kids.B. Anna and her mother’s wish.C. Children’s love for superheroes.D. Her interest in sewing capes.2. Where can people buy such handmade capes?A. From the Internet.B. From Rose’s house.C. From Rose’s store.D. From the hospitals.3. What does the underlined word “frequenter” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. An advertising designer.B. A company owner.C. An image representative.D. A website programmer.4. Why does Gary bring the cape with him every time he sees a doctor?A. The cape is his favorite clothing.B. He looks cool in the superhero cape.C. The sick kids share the same kind cape.D. The cape gives him courage and strength.BTo make sure everything is OK with the elderly citizens living alone, community workers on Jiangsu Street in Shanghai recently equipped them with smart devices on water taps. If an elderly citizen uses less than 0.01m³ of water in around 12 hours, the device will automatically send an alarm to the community workers, who will then rush to check. Meanwhile, they also plan to install a device on the doors of the lonely elderly citizens to remind them of shutting the doors for a certain length of time.The move has won much applause (掌声) on social networking sites, with many praising it as a major example of technology serving people and calling for its application across the country.Smart devices indeed make our lives better, but the key element in the Shanghai experience is not technology, but the human touch. Installing smart devices on water taps and doors is not difficult. All one needs is a sensor (感应器), a SIM card, and a coding allowing it to make calls. However, no one knows when an emergency occurs. One needs to ensure that a community worker is waiting behind the system to hear the alarm which could go off late in the night or at dawn. When getting the alarm, the worker must go and have a check.To ensure that the system works smoothly, community workers have to be there on duty 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Therefore, it is the community workers’ devotion, and not so much the smart device, that plays the most important part in the whole system by caring for the elderly citizens.Of course, the contribution of those who came up with the idea should not be forgotten. It might be a good idea to reward them so that they can be encouraged to do even better.5. What’s the purpose of equipping smart devices for the lonely elderly people?A. To check the amount of water used.B. To send an alarm to the elderly citizens.C. To ensure the elderly’s health and safety.D. To help the community workers to do their jobs.6. Which of the following best describe people’s attitude to installing smart devices?A. Doubtful.B. Opposed.C. Indifferent.D. Appreciative.7. What plays a vital part in carrying out this move?A. The device installing techniques.B. The technology itself.C. The community workers’ devotion.D. The operating system.8. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. How to help the lonely elderly equip smart devices.B. How to use smart devices to care for the lonely elderly.C. How to take care of the lonely elderly in the community.D. How to work for the lonely elderly as a community worker.CMost of the efforts aimed at reducing climate change concentrate on reducing the use of fossil fuels. Bu t a new study warns that pollution from the world’s food production system is also a major cause of rising temperatures on the earth.The study finds that if the world food system grows at the current speed, it will produce nearly 1.4 trillion metric tons (公吨) of greenhouse gases over the next 80 years. That pollution is expected to come from fertilizers used in agriculture, mismanaged soil, food waste and methane gas released from cows and other animals. Other causes include land-clearing operations and deforestation (乱砍乱伐).Researchers from the University of Minnesota and the University of Oxford in Britain led the study. They predict that even if fossil fuel emissions (排放) were stopped now, emissions from the world food system would make it impossible to reach the international climate change targets. They say emissions from food production alone could push world temperatures over 1.5 degrees Celsius by the middle of this century and above 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century.The new study calls for immediate improvements in farming practice, as well as changes in what we eat and how much food we waste.Jason Hill is a professor of biosystems engineering at the University of Minnesota and he helped lead the study. He says that the research clearly shows that food has a much greater effect on climate change than widely known. Fixing the problem would not require the world’s population to completely stop eating meat. “We can eat better, healthier foods. We can improvehow we grow foods. And we can wast e less food,” he adds.Besides, the researchers say such efforts are achievable and can also lead to many other improvements beyond controlling climate change. These include making humans healthier, reducing water pollution, improving air quality, preventing animal extinctions and improving farm profitability (盈利能力).9. What did the new study find about the world’s food production system?A. It produces many poisonous gases.B. It causes a rise in global temperature.C. It helps to reduce the use of fossil fuels.D. It tries to solve the world hunger problem.10. What’s the researchers’ prediction in Paragraph 3?A. Fossil fuel emissions will gradually stop.B. The temperature will have an unexpected rise.C. The climate change target will be eventually achieved.D. Emission from food production will cause serious effects.11. What does Jason Hill suggest?A. Reducing food waste.B. Growing more crops.C. Stopping eating any meat.D. Producing less junk foods.12. Which of the following can help to prevent pollution from food production?A. Reducing water pollution.B. Improving farming methods.C. Protecting endangered animals.D. Increasing farming productivity. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Lisa was never active, but she was always very sweet and nice. In the 5th grade she came to my class. She was absent a lot. and one day I had the courage to ask why. She told me she was sick, and she explained she wore a wig because her medicine made her lose her hair. We left it at that.Anytime Lisa came to class seldom 1 would hang with her on the playground. I received much ridicule from my friends for this because they thought 1 was ignoring them for Lisa. My family education taught me to be nice, and I felt Lisa's needs were much more important than others I knew.It had been months since Lisa was in our class, and one day our teacher was crying. She explained Lisa died the day before and would no longer be our classmate. She told us Lisa had fought a battle (斗争) with cancer for years.I was shocked. Lisa never spoke of her illness as if it could kill her. Well, all these years I have kept Lisa in my mind and heart. When I go through the important events in my life, I think of Lisa.I've had a strong wish recently to find her mother and father.

Puppy love(早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is "loss of self". According to the study, even though boys would say“lose themselves in a romantic relationship", this“lo ss of self" is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won't tell that to their parents.Dr Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression --eating or mood changes-- and if they see signsfrom their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.8. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Romance is a two-edged sword for adults.B.

Scared.DMost people hate change, which is sad since We often go through intense changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So the question is: Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard?Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested its construction. As strange as it may seem, their anger was completely natural. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry.But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully. Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. V oluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don't know how those changes will affect our future.People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with changeis to be flexible. When they are flexible, people can adapt to new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before. Those who oppose change, especially with technology in the workplace, may find themselves out of a job.When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it, embrace it. A positive attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. Don't merely focus on how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change. The change is the reality, and it's up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know—your next change may be your life's Eiffel Tower!12.

We are not supposed to face the changes and let them alone.B. We should actively accustom ourselves to the new circumstance.C. We should not take the changes seriously and avoid them as much as possible.D. We should know that the changes merely bring us bad influence.14. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. The change will probably make you fail like the Eiffel Tower.B. The change is like the Eiffel Tower which is not good for our future life.C. Your future life is never known just like the Eiffel Tower unknown to the Parisians.D. Your future life is likely to be a great achievement due to the change.15. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Psychology of ChangeB. The ways to Overcome the FearC.
