However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sport might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemical and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition .This causes major environmental effects.

If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers.

One year, they had to leave from their home for a few days. Another year, they bought air-conditioners so they could keep the windows shut when the air got thick and smoky.

It's hard to breathe. It's always a worry that you' re going to have to flee or you1 re going to lose your home.” She said she had spent in the neighborhood of $1,000 th is year to equip her home. “To protect my son of course I’m going to do that,” she said. “But it' s fundamentally unfair.”8.

江西省吉安县立中学2020-2021学年高二第一学期期中考试英语试卷学校_________ 班级__________ 姓名__________ 学号__________一、阅读选择1. Earlier this year, we asked our readers to vote fortheir favorite children's museums. Shortly after announcing the winners, these museums had to close their doors to help protect their communities from the spread of COVID-19. But they also bring some of their programming online.The Magic House | St. Louis, MissouriThe folks at The Magic House in St. Louis are sharing their expertise through their Magic at Home series. Each edition features a project that kids and their parents can do with household materials, like making a banjo or animal figures.City Museum | St. Louis, MissouriWhile the City Museum is closed to visitors, the museum staff, artists and historians have launched City Museum on Air. This series takes place each weekday with an eclectic lineup of programming - everything from free art classes, storytelling sessions and museum tours at upcoming exhibits.Kohl Children's Museum | Glenview, IllinoisThis winning children's museum calls itself "The place where awesome lives," and would-be visitors can bring that awesome into the home through its library of online teaching resources, story time sessions and "Home Zone" projects. Kids can learn how to fold paper airplanes, learn about the physics of wheels or make their own recycled paper.【小题1】What results in the closing of children's museums?A.The spreading of a disease. B.The decrease of would-be visitors.C.The readers' votes on museums. D.The development of digitalprogramming.【小题2】When is online programming of City Museum accessible?A .At weekends.B .At any time.C .On weekdays.D .On holidays.【小题3】What do The Magic House and Kohl Children's Museum have in common?A .Stressing hands-on experience.B .Demonstrating how 4 wheel works.C .Offering story-telling courses.D .Teaching how to copy animal figures.2. I remember doing the household chores to help my mother when I was nine. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up. Twenty years later, in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless one.Easier said than done, of course. I didn’t realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process thatresulted in 5,127 different prototypes (样机). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business. But soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner.I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention,【小题1】What drove the author to make a bagless vacuum cleaner?A.His willingness to help mom.B.His curiosity about machines.C.His trouble in doing family chores.D.His discontent with existing cleaners.【小题2】What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A.The help from the author’s wife.B.The financial problems of the family.C.The tough process of the new invention.D.The procedures of making a bagless cleaner.【小题3】Why did the companies refuse to license the author’s technology?A.They thought they might suffer loss.B.They considered it not good enough.C.They faced legal problems themselves.D.They had begun making such machines.【小题4】What lesson may the author learn from the experience? A.Think twice before acting.B.Failure is the mother of success.C.Actions speak louder than words.D.A good beginning makes a good ending.3. For many years doctors have warned us about the dangers of stress (压力) and have given us advice about how to cut down our stress levels. Everyone agrees that long-term stress, for example having to look after someone who has a chronic (慢性的) illness, or stressful situations where there is nothing we can do, for example being stuck in a traffic jam, should be avoided whenever possible. However, some medical experts now believe that certain kinds of stress may actually be good for us.Dr Marios Kyriazis, an anti-ageing expert, points out that what he calls "good stress” is beneficial to our health and may, in fact, help us stay young and attractive and even live longer. Dr Kyriazis says that “good stress” can strengthen our natural defences which protect us from illnesses common among older people, such as Alzheimer's and heart problems.According to Dr Kyriazis, running for a bus or having to work to meet a d eadline are examples of “good stress”, that is situations with short-term or low stress. The stress usually makes us react quickly, and gives us a sense of achievement — we did it! However,in both situations, the stress damages the cells(细胞) in our body or brain and they start to break down. But then the cells own repair mechanism “switches on”and it produces proteins which repair thedamaged cells and remove harmful chemicals that can gradually cause disease. In fact, the body's response is greater than is needed to repair the damage, so it actually makes the cells stronger than they were before.“As the body gets older, this self-repair mechanism of the cells starts to slow down,” says Dr Kyriazis.“The best way to keep the process working efficiently is t o ‘exercise’ it, in the same way you would exercise your muscles to keep them strong.

Lifelong learning is a health club for our minds, bodies and spirits. This is why we parents should also teach our children to be lifelong learners. Dr. Marilyn Price-Mitchell, an American psychologist, and youth development expert, shares some ways for us to do this.1. Ask questions.When your child asks you a question, don't answer it straight away. Instead, help him or her bring up “questions that pique their curiosity.” This way, we help children make connections between what they're learning at school and the world beyond their classroom. We also show them that learning does not, and should not, end when one is “done with school” — it's actually a lifelong process!2. Let them fail.Our kids love learning about different scientific concepts (概念) via The Magic School Bus videos on YouTube. And one of the characters, Miss Frizzle (the science teacher) always says this phrase: “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.” I always quote (引述) her when the kids say they're afraid to do or learn something because they might do it wrong or make a mistake. If wedon't allow our kids to f ail, they won't be able to learn to “use mistakes and failures to make lifelong learning easier,” as Dr. Price-Mitchell says.3. Learn through experience.This is very true for all of us, especially children. In the words of Dr. Price-Mitchell, “Learning t hrough experience, not just from books, is one of the best ways to give the youth the skills they need for lifelong learning, living, and working in the 21st century.”Of course, we should also set an example for our children — by learning continuously, and expanding our knowledge and experiences.【小题1】What does the underlined word “pique” in the text probably mean?A.Change.B.Awaken.C.Balance.D.Prevent.【小题2】What's the author's attitude to what Miss Frizzle always says?A.Worried.B.Doubtful.C.Uncaring.D.Supportive.【小题3】Which of the following shows the importance of learning through experience?A.Learning is not child's play; we cannot learn without pain.B.It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.C.If you don't learn to think when you are young, you may never learn.D.Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.【小题4】In which part of a newspaper will the text most probably appear?A.Health.B.Culture.C.Education.D.Popular science.二、七选五5. Life isn’t always a walk in the park. 【小题1】 These tips are small things that happy people do to make life just a little bit better, and now you can too.1. They turn mistakes into lessons.【小题2】While it’s easy to be upset when a new job just isn’t working out or a relationship falls apart, focusing on learning fromwhat went wrong will help you turn a mistake into something productive.2. They go offline.Addiction to social media sites is a bad habit, and looking at pictures of other people’s amazing vacations and delicious desserts isn’t doing anything for you. Make a promise with yourself to remove them every day—you can read a book or call a friend. 【小题3】3. They ignore the small stuff.Bad days happen. 【小题4】 You accidentally fall over a banana skin...There are plenty of cases where anger, disappointment, and anxiety are totally reasonable reactions, but they don’t have to be your final reactions. Learning to let go of the little things youca n’t control will allow you to focus better on the positive aspects of life.4. They plan trips.Even if you can’t afford an overseas trip, there are plenty of affordable ways to get out there and see the world. Experiencing a new culture or food or a change in scenery is a great way to bring a little extra happiness into your life.5. 【小题5】Instead of waiting for opportunities to fall into your lap, take control. Putting yourself out there can feel like a challenge, but once you take a risk, you will certainly be rewarded.A.They ignore risks.B.They take chances.C.Mistakes are an inevitable part of life.D.So how do happy people get through a rough day?E.You spill coffee down your shirt before you are running out of the door.F.So who can you turn to for help when you plan trips?G.Just staying away from the Internet allows you to live your life instead of watching other people live theirs.三、完形填空6.
