Which book best suits those concerned about the survival of migratory birds?A．Flamingo . B．Around the World in 80 Birds .C．A World on the Wing . D．Galapagos: Island of Birds.3. What feature may Galapagos Crusoes: A Year Alone with the Birds have?A．Its humorous description. B．Its romantic style.C．Its vivid imagination. D．Its moving plot.My neighbors across the street take pride in one of the most striking trees in the neighborhood — a towering oak that is over 75 years old. This year, after a wet, warm summer, leaves were a bit different in my Massachusetts town. And through some combination of events, that glorious oak seemed to have dropped all of its uncountable leaves on a single windy day. I arrived at home that afternoon to find our front walkway, driveway and sidewalk completely blanketed.My son and I had a great time making a leaf pile for jumping and enjoying pillowy fun. The whole time, I was fascinated by the speed of this year’s leaf drop. Even though I was aware that it was an accident of wind patterns that left all the leaves in our yard, I kept looking up and feeling a rush of awe at the suddenly bare branches that watched quietly over our neighborhood, starting its restful season before setting spring leaf buds.And I felt thankful for those fallen leaves as I was reminded of my favorite quote from the author and naturalist Hal Borland. He wrote it referencing Octobe r, but this year’s later drop had me change the month: “November is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations (星座) above them once again.”When I lay in that pile of dry, crisp leaves and looked up into the oak tree across the street, I felt a clarity and peace that comes along with the inconveniently early sunsets and chilly temperatures of the transition from fall into winter. I could still admire the tree as I had in spring and summer, but I could also see through it, beyond it, to the big sky that blankets us all.4. What’s unusual this year?A．Outdoor activities are limited due to heavy winds.B．A series of special events happened in the neighborhood.C．The weather is especially cold in winter in Massachusetts.D．The neighbors’ big tree almost dropped all its leaves within a day.5. How does the author feel at the suddenly bare branches in Paragraph 2?A．Anxious. B．Sorrowful. C．Astonished. D．Comfortable.6. Why are Hal Borland’s lines quoted in Paragraph 3?A．To express the author’s admiration for the naturalist.B．To emphasize the importance of getting close to nature.C．To stress the beauty of the author’s childhood memories.D．To convey the author’s feelings about the leaf-falling season.7. What is the best title for the text?A．The Fall of Massachusetts B．The Beauty of a Newly-bare TreeC．The Sky Far Beyond D．The Memories of Peace and BeautyEarth is lighted up by bioluminescence(生物发光)but，for many of us，seeing the natural phenomenon is a rare treat：Catching the glow(光)of a firefly or witnessing a dolphin swimming through electric blue waters is a thrill.Researchers are currently engineering glowing flowers and decorative plants that can cast a green light onto our living rooms. Observing plant’s health via its glow can be a way to instantly measure its health,and the side effect is anybody who wants a healthy glowing plant in their living room can have one.A study published on Monday in Nature Biotechnology shows that this goal is well on its way to being a reality. The study authors announce they’ve created a method that causes plants to glow much brighter,and for a longer period of time,than previous efforts.Plants adapted by this method should be available for purchase within a few years.The research was conducted through a teamwork between three scientific institutions and Plant,a biotech startup in Moscow.When this team examined a poisonous mushroom,they discovered that caffeic acid is responsible for its bioluminescence. In this new study, the team employed that information and inserted(嵌入)enzymes(酶) —which are specific to the mushroom —into the DNA of tobacco plants.In turn,the enzymes were able to interact with the caffeic acid in the tobacco plants,and cause them to glow both in the dark and in the daylight.This method,the scientists claimed,made the plants 10 times brighter than previous efforts and the continuous light production didn’t harm the health of the plants. Interestin gly, the light decreased as the leaves aged—but it also increased when the leaves were damaged. In turn, the team suggested this method could also help other researchers monitor plant responses to various pressures and changes in the environment. If a plant is short of water or a hungry sheep is harming aplant,bioluminescence could warn of this damage before it’s too late.8. How can people quickly identify a decorative flower’s health condition?A．By monitoring its glow. B．By making it greener.C．By testing the chemicals in it. D．By putting it in the living room.9. What can we expect of the adapted glowing plants?A．They may take the place of lamps. B．They will appear on the market.C．They can light up a whole living room. D．They glow less bright than previousefforts.10. What did the team do with the mushroom in the new study?A．They inserted caffeic acid into it. B．They made it give out brighter light.C．They grew it on the tobacco plants farm. D．They put its enzymes into the tobaccoplants.11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Warning of potential damage from glowing plants.B．Increasing light when glowing plants receive damage.C．Effects of continuous light production on the glowing plants.D．Benefits of combining specific enzymes with caffeic acid in plants.A decade ago, I attended a banquet in Guangzhou where the food was exceptional. The bird’s nest soup, made from chicken and possibly ham with dried scallops (干贝), was gentle and slippery. The sea cucumber was rich and sticky, and the fish was sparklingly fresh and steamed to perfection. However, what stood out was the plain white soup of broth (肉汁), served at the end. It was simple, plain, and perfect.Ending a banquet with soup may seem odd to Westerners, who are used to sweets at the end of meals. But as an English food writer named Fuchsia Dunlop explains in her book Invitation to a Banquet, soup is a unique expression of a chef’s art, much like a singer’s voice. The transparent, almost invisible soup is an ideal conclusion to a banquet, with its luxury and strong flavors. Invitation to a Banquet is Dunlop’s seventh book. Unlike her other books on Chinese cuisine such as The Food of Sichuan and Revolutionary Kitchen, this one is not a cookbook. Instead, she has chosen 30 dishes from different regions of China to illustrate different aspects of Chinese cuisine and history.What makes Dunlop’s writing unique is her perspective. She argues that Chinese cuisine is superior (更胜一筹的) not only in taste but also in its ability to incorporate foreign influences while still maintaining its own identity. Furthermore, Dunlop makes an equally compelling case that what Westerners think of as “Chinese food” is neither false nor wrong. It is merely a diasporic (离散的) branch that reflects local t astes and is representative of the cuisine’s diversity. Immigration and adventurousness have made authentic Chinese food more accessible outside China than ever before.In conclusion, Invitation to a Banquet by Fuchsia Dunlop provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Chinese cuisine. Through her well-researched book and insightful discussions, she encourages readers to appreciate the complexity and richness of Chinese food.12. To the author, what is the most memorable dish about the banquet in Guangzhou?A．A sweet dessert.B．A bowl of plain white soup.C．A dish made from expensive ingredients.D．A fish that was rich and strong-flavoured.13. What does the underlined word “incorporate” mean in Paragraph 4?A．Include.B．Reject.C．Strengthen.D．Reduce.14. What is the unique perspective of Chinese cuisine in her book Invitation to a Banquet?A．Chinese desserts are the highlight of Chinese cuisine.B．Immigration makes little difference to Chinese dishes.C．Chinese food is limited to traditional ingredients and flavors.D．Chinese food is influenced by foreign elements while preserving its own identity.15. What’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To introduce a dish.B．To recommend a book.C．To share an experience.D．To compare different cultures.A Great Way to Teach Children to Take ResponsibilityAs parents, one of the most important things to teach children to take responsibility is to include chores as a part of their daily routine. In order to make a family function smoothly, every member must contribute. Teaching your children to take responsibility at an early age makes it easier for them to shoulder greater responsibilities as they grow older.16 If your children leave their crayons lying on the table after drawing, picking up those crayons is not a chore. It is cleaning up a mess they have created. 1718 . For example, if it is to feed the dog every day, make sure the children understand that if they fail in their responsibility, the dog will go hungry.Make rewards and punishments a part of the lesson. Together decide whether they will be rewarded or not. 19 Some parents make their reward a monetary payment, while others choose to reward with certain privileges, such as extra television viewing time.Children need to be taught that there are punishments for their actions in case of not doing their assigned chores. Decide and agree from the start what the punishment will be.Teaching your children the importance of contributing to the family is of great importance. 20 By taking this step, you have done a wonderful thing for your children by providing them with life skills they can take with them into society.During my stay at the University of Michigan, one of the senior professors asked me to join a seminar on culture and emotion. In a general________of self-introductions, I introduced myself in a(n)________Dutch way as one of those who are “interested in culture and emotion”. The professor supplemented (补充) my self-introduction to________American standards, saying I was one of the world’s experts on the________. In response, I looked down in________, and thought that “expert” was a big word.When I lived in North Carolina, my new friends came over to ________. Conversations were full of interest and energy, and there was a lot of ________. At the end of the evening, when my guests left, they thanked me for the dinner. My heart________, because I was born and raised in the Netherlands, where “thanking for dinner” means the relationship is ________.

辽宁省沈阳市2017-2018学年高二英语上学期期中试题

辽宁省沈阳市2017-2018学年高二英语上学期期中试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AVenice, one of the cities in Italy, was founded in A.D.811 by the people of Malamocco. It was said that they were guided by pigeons carrying little crosses, and settled where now Venice lies.Venice is built on 117 islands. It has 150 canals and 400 bridges. The narrow streets, with their historic names, are covered with stones, but have no footpaths. They are dotted with flower shop signs and lanterns. Shops and palaces stand by side. The brick bridges are high enough to allow boats to pass freely under them.The center of public life is St. Mark’s Square where tourists and citizens sit in the famous Florian and Quadri cafes to listen to music, enjoying themselves. The Quadri is more popular but the Florian, founded in 1720, is the best-known cafe because it has received such great persons as Byron (an English poet) and Goethe (a German poet).Unfortunately, the special position of Venice is threatening its own existence. The terrain（地势）on which it is built began to sink while the level of the surrounding waters is constantly rising. However, many measures have already been taken to prevent the city from sinking.21. In the second paragraph, the author ______.A. told us who built the city of VeniceB. described what Venice is likeC. showed up where Venice isD. talked about why Venice is surrounded by waters22. Which of the following shows the right relationship? (○=Italy;△=Venice;□=St.Marks Square)A B C D23. Why is the Florian the famous cafe? Because ______.A. it appeared in Byron and Goethe’s poemsB.Byron and Goethe were once its customersC. it was founded in 1720, much older than the QuadriD. it is more close to St. Mark’s Square than the Quadri24. From the article we can see that ______.A. many people have fled because Venice’s existence is being threatenedB. the level of the surrounding water is constantly rising because the city ofVenice began to sinkC. many steps have already been taken to prevent the terrain from risingD. the government has already taken many measures to save the city from going downBWhy do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age. The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity(长寿) may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.” What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-oldwoman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one’s.“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,”said Goldspink.They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.25. The text mainly talks about ______.A. hearts and long lifeB. women’s ageing processC. the gender differenceD. men’s heart cells26. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that ______.A. women have more cells than man when they are bornB. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatC. the female heart loses few of the cells with ageD. women never lose their pumping power with age27. If you want to live longer, you should ______.A. enable your heart to beat much fasterB. find out the reason for ageingC. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthD. prevent your cells from being lostCEveryone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will makeup and go on being friends.Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. It could be that we will even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.28. The first paragraph tells us ______.A. nobody needs friendsB. we always need friends aroundC. making friends is a need in people’s livesD. we never need to be alone29. Which of the following is most probably the place people name after friendlypeople?A. A cityB. A roomC. A town.D. A library30. Why do people who have friends live longer than people who don’t?A. They feel happier.B. They take better care of themselves.C. Their friends care about them.D. All of the above.31. The man idea of this passage is ______.A. that people are all friendsB.that people need friendsC. how to get to know friendsD. how to name a placeD4 Coolest Underground HousesWe started off living in caves and seem to have come back to the same point. This is because we finally realized that it is actually a very eco-friendly way to live. However, building a house underground is not an easy task. The following underground homes are so incredible that they’ll make you want to build your own underground house!Flower Petals(花瓣)Located in Bolton, the UK, this house belongs to British football star Gary Neville. It is hidden under the ground except for the petal-shaped openings designed to allow the light to enter and light up the entire house. It covers about 8,000 sq ft and was designed by Make Architects to keep energy consumption to a minimum.Swiss Mountain Underground HouseThis unique house has been designed by the architects of SeArch, Netherlands and Christian Muller. It is located in the Swiss village of Vals and is hidden on all sides save for one. This magnificent structure has been planned in such a way that it completely eliminates the need of cooling in summers and heating in winters.The Cave HouseCarved out of a mountain, this house is located in Festus, Missouri. It has been used for many different purposes over time. This 15,000 square foot residence was originally used as a mine for decades. It was also used as concert venue and a roller skating rink. The cave house needs no air conditioning for cooling and heating the house due to its intelligent design.Stone Desert HomeThe Stone Desert Home is built in such a way that it looks more like a half-buried ruin than a modern home. Designed by Deca, this eco-friendly house is built between the slopes of two hillsides next to each other and barely rises above the desert level surrounding it. As the house is half-hidden in the earth, it makes use of natural light and heat as well as cooling crosswinds.32.

Mother’s Day will probably be a slow quarter, too.”US floral sales for Mother’s Day, celebrated yesterday, will fall thirteen percent this year to $2 billion, with consumers spending an average of $17.65, according to the National Federation estimates.Mother’s Day, which accounts for a one-quarter of annual holiday purchases, according to the Society of American Florists, is traditionally the day when flowers are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers.But this year, the shop-owners are concerned.Gabriel Soto, who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los financial district, is expecting lower sales—and has ordered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mother’s Day. Last month, Soto, who also operates nearby building that was headquarters to a mortgage company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis, orders decreased.1.The underlined word “slump” in Para. 2 probably means _______.A. sharp decrease in priceB. great fear for losing jobsC. global worry of floral storesD. sudden fall by a large amount2.This passage implies that Americans have _______.A. Met financial problems recentlyB. No longer bought flowers for mothersC.delivered flowers to every house for mothersD.cut back on spending because of having lost jobs3.Which would be the best title for this passage?A. Hard time coming nearerB. Mother’s day and crisisC. Sorry mom, love you but no flowersD. Holiday purchases have a hard timeBIKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer, and the man behind it is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs.Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches, seeds, and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money as a reward fro his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a business—IKEA.IKEA’s name comes from Kamprad’s initials(I.K.) and teh place where he grew up (‘E’ and ’A’). Today IKEA is known for its modern, minimalist furniture, but it was not a furniture company in the beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods.Kamprad’s wares included anything that he could sell for profits at discounted prices, including watches, pens and stockings.IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947. The furniture was all designed and made by manufacturers near Kamprad’s home. Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product line. Furniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951.In 1953 IKEA opened its first showroom in Almhult, Sweden. IKEA is known today for its spacious stores with furniture in attractive settings, but in the early 1950s, people ordered from catalogues. Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buying it. This led to increased sales and the company continued to thrive. By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture.In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling(拆卸) a table to make it easier to transport. Kamprad was inspired. The man had given him a great idea flat packaging. Flat packaging would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers. IKEA tried it and sales soared. The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves, but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays, IKEA is often seen as having connotations (内涵) of self-sufficiency. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to better sales and continued expansion.Today there are over 200 stores in 32 countries. Amazingly, Ingvar Kamprad has managed to keep IKEA a privately-held company. In 2004 he was named the world’s richest man. He currently lives in Switzerland and is retired from the day-to-day operations of IKEA. IKEA itself, though, just keeps on growing.4.The author states in Paragraph 6 that flat packaging_______.A. needs large space to assembly furnitureB. is a business concept inspired by KampradC. helps reduce transportation costsD. makes the company self-sufficient5.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Ingvar Kamprad is the richest man in teh world.B. IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer.C. The advantage of IKEA’s furniture is dissembling.D. Ingvar Kamprad established IKEA and led it to great success.6.What is the author’s attitude towards IKEA’s future according to the lastparagraph?A. Indifferent.B. Optimistic.C. Doubtful.D. Pessimistic.7.The passage is developed primarily in terms of _______.A. order of eventsB. analysis of a processC. examples that illustrate(阐释) a problemD. comparison and contrastCService Trips for High School StudentsAre you a high school student who loves to be outdoors and is eager to experience new challenges, learn new skills and meet new people?

Every developing economist knows it. The World Bank knows it. The education of girls is the surest way to reduce poverty.The reason is simple. All the evidence shows that taking girls out of the fields and homes, and putting them behind desks, raises economic productivity, lowers infant and maternal(产科) death rate, reduces birth rates, and improves environmental management.Why, then, are 90 million primary school-age girls around the world not in school? For the same reason that when Charles Dickens was writing David Copperfield 150 yeas ago girls were absent from the British education system : Men in power mostly preferit that way, or are not interested enough in changing the situation to commit energy and money to doing so.The countries with the poorest record for having women in positions of poweror influence have the worst figures for girls’ education. High-profile intervention(介入) by organization s such as the World Bank has begun successfully with several countries, and more of the same will probably be needed to bring changein conservative, male-run states.Even if there were no development pay-off from gender equality in schools, the education of girls would still be a cause worth fighting for. Education is a human right, and the denial of it to girls is a scar on the community in the twenty-first century.To be born a girl in a rural area in Nepal, Pakistan, Indonesia, Morocco, Togo,or Sudan—half a dozen of the most shameful performers—means being condemned toa life without school, education, or clean water, marriage and babies coming too early, too many births, children who die of preventable diseases, backbreaking workin the fields, subordination(附属)to husband and his family, and an early death.Every year, almost 12 million children under the age of five needlessly die of infections diseases associated with poverty. But each additional year spent by their mothers in primary school lowers the risk of premature child deaths by about 8 percent. In Pakistan, an extra year of school for 1,000 girls could prevent sixty infant deaths.With women and girls being the main farmers in Africa and southern Asia, their education offers a chance to develop more efficient farming practices, improve output, and raise awareness of the ecological needs of the land with tree planting and farming. Therefore, the world community cannot afford to ignore this avenuechange.12.What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The poor economy at that timeB. Girls’ absence f rom schoolC. Energy and moneyD. The education of girls13.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The countries where women have great influence and are in power always do worse in girls’ education.B. Some organizations such as the World Bank haven’t taken the lead in girls’ education.C. Some girls in Sudan and Indonesia are bound to live a life without education when they are born.D. Each extra year of school for girls has nothing to do with the birth rate and maternal deaths.14.which is NOT the reason why educating girls reduces poverty?A. It improves environmental managementB. It raise economic productivity.C. It creates more childrenD. It lowers maternal death rates.15.What does the author think o f girls’ education?A. essentialB. terribleC. indifferentD. helpless第二节据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

He always said, “A man has to keep busy to stay out of trouble.〞 Leigh wasn't sure how much trouble Grandpa could get into anyway, since he was such a nice guy, but she tried to listen to his advice. Besides, she liked to help him on his birdhouses.Grandpa's shop was full of welloiled and carefullykept tools. Whenever he used something, he put it back in exactly the right place. He had rules about how he treated his tools, because he hated buying something new if the old one still worked. He also made sure to clean up each time he worked on something.It wasn't too fun cleaning up, but it was nice to watch him cut boards to exact lengths. It was nice to see the drill put in holes for screws (螺丝) to go in cleanly. It was like being a doctor, but with wood. The best part of building was seeing all the pieces come together in the final form.The last steps always included lacquer or paint, to help protect Grandpa's hard work from the weather. His birdhouses lasted for years. If he didn't coat them properly, the sun and rain would turn the wood grey and weak in a short period of time. No, he always made sure to do things right. Even if he put rocks or other cute decorations (装饰) on them, it was done right and made to last.Grandpa was a hard worker, but he was also smart and generous. He let Leigh keep the birdhouses sometimes, but only if he got to help hang it up or set the post for it.

With treatment, things got better until she watched the series. “If I’d known about the show beforehand I would have monitored her Netflix account,〞 said the nurse. “If kids have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, I don’t think they need to watch it. 〞The show’s creators said they did make part of the show painful to watch because they wanted to make it clear that there is nothing worthwhile about suicide. Beforeits release, a producer sought the support of the JED Foundation, a teen suicide prevention group. “I think they were looking for us to say it was a great educational tool, or that they handled the issues in a psychologically helpful way,〞 said a medical officer.

Quinones, who wore oversized boatlike shoes, also won last year and will receive $500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A〞 on the assignment forArchitecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,〞Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.〞A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams.

For example, people may say “You win some, you lose some.〞 when they have just failed at a task. By using “you〞 ins tead of “I〞, they explain that failure can happen to anyone. The “you〞 here used to refer to people in general rather than a specific audience is called “generic-you〞.Researchers conducted a series of experiments, asking 2,500 people to write about personal experiences and answer questions. In one experiment, a group of participants were asked to write about a negative personal experience and another group of participants were asked to write about a neutral personal experience. Researchers noted that peopl e in the negative group used the ‘‘generic-you〞 more in their responses.When they use “you〞 to describe the event, it allows them to move beyond the negative experience and helps them feel better.In another experiment, all participants were asked to write about a negative experience. One group focused on lessons they had learned, while another group wrote about the emotions they felt. Researchers found that people who focused on lessons used “you〞 more than those who focused on emotions. Besides, the people who used “you〞said they felt further away from the event than those who used “I〞. This suggests that “generic-you〞 is a way for people to give meaning to an experience.Researchers concluded that the “generic-you〞provides a way to normalize one’s negative experiences and find meaning from personal experiences.12. When people say “You win some, you lose some.〞, failure actually happened to __________.A. the listenerB. anyoneC. the speakerD. nobody13. Which of the following is an example of “generic-you〞?A.

2022年-有答案-辽宁省沈阳市某校高二(上)期中考试英语试卷

2022年辽宁省沈阳市某校高二（上）期中考试英语试卷一、阅读理解1.Will it matter if you don't have your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts.The rules show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help them lose weight. This is because they are so hungry at noon that eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight instead of losing it. You will lose weight if you reduce your other meals.（1）During the test, the people were given ________.A.no breakfast at allB.different breakfast or sometimes noneC.very rich breakfastsD.little food for break fast（2）Scientists wanted to know whether ________.A.breakfast had any effect on work and studiesB.people were interested in breakfastC.breakfast did harm to people 's healthD.people would work better without breakfast（3）According to the passage, some people think without breakfast they will ________.A.lose weightB.get a good result in their workC.gain weightD.not be hungry at all（4）Which of the following sciences is not right?A.It is bad for your health to have no breakfast.B.No breakfast and more lunch may make you fatter.C.The more breakfast you have, the more quickly you will learn in class.D.If you don't eat much for lunch and supper, you may lose weight.2.Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so muchgrowing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones to grow in.Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won't. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.（1）From the passage, we can know it is ________ for plants to grow in dry places.A.easyB.difficultC.impossibleD.important（2）The reason why most plants can't grow on the sandy beach is that ________.A.there isn't enough sunlightB.there is too much waterC.it is too crowded thereD.it has little food for plants（3）The passage can most probably be found in a ________ book.A.scienceB.historyC.travelD.math3.As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.A few years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase, "Oh, yes!" Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words "Oh, yes!" I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music, we had made a connection.Several years later, I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times, mimicking（模仿）the song we had performed in our music class. This precious littlegirl, through her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever.Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child's light.（1）How long has the author been a music teacher?A.For 26 years.B.For twenty-five years.C.For twenty-seven years.D.For a few years.（2）The author thinks music ________.A.can make children calm downB.can connect heart to heartC.is difficult for pre-school studentsD.is a good means to find a job（3）According to the second paragraph, Vanessa ________.A.got used to singing songsB.was too shy to speakC.was the youngest in the classD.enjoyed the author's classes（4）What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A.The author has been in touch with Vanessa for several years.B.Vanessa became as healthy as other children.C.The song made a deep impression on Vanessa.D.Being a good educator became Vanessa's dream.4.Researchers have reported the largest-ever single-year drop in cancer death rates in the United States. The rate of deaths from cancer fell 2.2 percent from 2016 to 2017. That is the largest drop since record-keeping began in 1930.The American Cancer Society says that overall death rates from cancer have fallen about 1.5 percent each year since 1991. Better treatments for lung cancer are part of the reason for the falling numbers, said Rebecca Siegel, the lead writer of the report. She said, "Lung cancer has been the most common cause of cancer death in the United States, and now we have better therapies for our patients and patients are living longer and better than ever before."Improved treatments for lung cancer include the areas of surgery, scanning, and use of radiation. In addition to better treatments, fewer people are getting lung cancer because fewer people are smoking. There are also better drugs Genetic testing helps doctors choose the right drugs for the kind of cancer in a patient.Doctor Jyoti Patel is a lung cancer expert with Northwestern University in Illinois. She said new drugs that get the patient's own immune system to fight the cancer could help make the death rate fall even more.There are differences in cancer rates among racial and ethnic groups in the United States. African Americans have for many years had higher rates of cancer than white Americans. However, that gap is shrinking. Hispanic（西班牙的）Americans have generally had the lowest cancer rates.（1）What does the underlined word "therapies" in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Medical treatmentsB.Medical services.C.Medical suppliesD.Medical organizations.（2）The drop in lung cancer rates in the USA mainly lies in ________.ernment's efforts in shrinking the gapB.people's awareness of the damage of the diseaseC.the application of surgery, scanning, and use of radiationD.the joint efforts of treatment, less smoking and better drugs（3）What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.U.S. Cancer Deaths Decline SharplyB.Improved Treatments for Lung CancerC.Study Finds Drop in Cancer Deaths in U.S.D.Lung Cancer to Remain Major Health Issue in U.S.（4）Where does this passage most probably come from?A.A Science Fiction.B.A Newspaper.C.A Research Paper.D.A Survey.二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
