It means signals cannot be passed back and forth between the hemispheres of my brain. Symptoms of this condition include vision impairment, some little pain, chewing difficulties and seizures（癫痫）.I didn‟t like to talk about it with people around me. Why? It‟s because when people know there is something wrong with my brain, they think I have low intelligence. I had a hard time growing up. I‟ve always been told I‟m learning disabled and that I‟m not good enough to do this or that. And it‟s hard to hear this all the time. They view me as a permanent victim. I‟m not a victim. I have apart-time job, nice friends and my own apartment. All I need now is a full-time job.However, recently, I decided to do something I had never done before. I posted my story on my blog. I wanted more people to learn about this condition. I wanted more people to know about such people like me. Since being posted on the blog, my story has been shared over 10,000 times and gained over 320,000 likes. But more importantly, there are more than 6,000 comments, where people are thanking me for giving them and their family members hope.“My 12-year-old brother has this. I have never heard of anyone else having it,” wrote one visitor. “I am so excited to show him this so he knows he can have a comfortable life too.”“My son has this condition. It‟s inspiring to see an adult with the same condition,” said another.“You give us hope because most doctors have no words of encouragement,” said the third.24.Because of the condition, what may the author develop?A.

To find people with the same condition.D. To help people better understand the condition.27.What do the comments show?A. People want to encourage him.B. The condition is very common.C. His story is very helpful to some.D. He draws attention to the condition.CMost commuters (乘车上班族) in Munich, Germany, spend hours stuck in traffic or trying to squeeze into one of the overcrowded subway trains every morning, but for 40-year-old Benjamin David, commuting is actually a relaxing experience. Every day, he jumps into the Isar River and swims two kilometers to his workplace in Kulturstrand.Two years ago Benjamin decided that he needed to find a simpler alternative to make his way to work and the Isar River seemed like the obvious answer. It flows right past his apartment in Baldeplatz, and, even though no one has been using it for traveling purposes in decades, at one point, it was one of the most popular routes between Rome and Vienna. Benjamin decided to swim to work, and that‟s been his main commute for the past two years.Every morning, Benjamin leaves his apartment in Baldeplatz, crosses the street and jumps into the Isar River. He has to swim two kilometers to his office in Kulturstrand, which usually takes him about half an hour. Once there, he dries himself with a towel and waits for his colleagues to get through the heavy traffic, by enjoying a cappuccino at a cafe.The swimming commuter found the perfect way to keep his things dry while he is in the water—a special bag that is not only waterproof, but also fills up with air when you roll it shut. It‟s called a “Wickelfisch” and it was designed by a startup in Basel, Switzerland, where swimming to work has actually become a big trend. It holds Benjamin‟s laptop, paperwork and clothes dry, and allows him to simply float down the river if his arms get tired.Depending on the season and temperature of the water, Benjamin will put on a simple pair of shorts sometimes, but he always wears rubber sandals to protect his feet. People throw all kinds of things in the river, from glass bottles to bicycles, and the sandals provide protection.28.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Many visitors travel along the Isar River every year.B. Benjamin David began to swim to work in his twenties.C. It takes Benjamin about half an hour to swim 2 kilometers.D. Isar River is one of the best routes between Rome and Vienna.29.According to Benjamin, a “Wickelfisch” is something that ______.A. is used all year roundB. can be used for him to have a break in the riverC. is used just to help keep his clothes dry in the riverD. can protect his feet from the dangerous rubbish in the water30.According to the passage, Benjamin may describe his commuting experience as ______.A. relaxing and enjoyableB. relaxing but dangerousC. exciting but tiringD. tiring and dangerous31.Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A. A good way to enjoy lifeB. Swim to work—a good idea!C. A new trend to go to workD. An economical transportation methodDIn an ideal world, people would not test medicines on animals. Such experiments are stressful and sometimes painful for animals, and expensive and time-consuming for people. Yet animal experimentation is still needed to help bridge vast gaps in medical knowledge. That is why there are some 50 to 100 million animals used in research around the world each year.Europe, on the whole, has the world‟s most restrictive(严格的)laws on animal experiments. Even so, its scientists use some 12 million animals a year, most of them mice and rats, for medical research. Official statistics show that just 1. 1 million animals are used in research in America each year. But that is misleading. The American authorities do not think mice and rats are worth counting and, as these are the most common laboratory animals, the true figure is much higher. Japan has even less comprehensive(全面的)data than America.Now Europe is reforming the rules governing animal experiments by restricting the number of animals used in labs. Alternatives to animal testing, such as using human tissue or computer models, are now strongly recommended. In addition, sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use. At present, scientists often share only the results of successful experiments. If their findings do not fit the hypothesis(假设)being tested, the work never sees the light of day. This practice means wasting time, money, and animals‟ lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments.Animal experimentation has taught humanity a great deal and saved countless lives. It needs to continue, even if that means animals sometimes suffer. Europe‟s new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is conducted.32.What is the main idea of this passage?A. The success of animal experiments should be ensured.B. A ban on the use of animals in the lab should be enforced.C. Greater efforts need to be taken to reduce the number of lab animals.D. Scientists should be required to share their research results with each other.33.Which of the following statements is TRUE about animals used in the lab?A. America uses only about 1. 1 million lab animals per year.B. Europe does not use mice and rats as lab animals at all.C. Britain does not use as many lab animals as China does.D. Japan has limited data on the number of lab animals used each year.34.Which of the following is mentioned as an alternative to replace animal experiments?A. Statistical studies.B. Computer models.C. DNA planted in animals.D. Tissue from dead animals.35.What usually happens to unsuccessful animal experiments?A. They are not made known to the public.B. They are made into teaching materials.C. They are collected for future publication.D. They are not removed from the research topiclist.三、信息匹配（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Stress out?Your schedule is packed with classes, homework, youth groups, hobbies, families and friends. (36) . You might also be dealing with a relationship or family conflict. Sometimes it‟s just too much to handle, and stress moves slowly into your life. Here are some ideas to help you balance your life and reduce stress.(37) .Certain practices can reduce stress hormones(荷尔蒙). These include remaining in a silent state and listening to music you find calming.Dr. Kathleen Hall, founder of the Stress Institute, also recommends using positive affirmations(肯定): “Repeating a positive affirmation when you are stressed reduces the production of stress hormones. Create an affirmation you love, such as, …I am strong; I am in control; everything has a purpose.‟”Interact(互相沟通)Sometimes when we‟re stressed, we want to separate ourselves from others. (38) This could mean just hanging out with a friend or getting involved in a group.ExerciseSports are a great way to reduce stress. (39) Try different physical activities until you find one you enjoy: swimming, biking, hiking, etc.(40)What you eat have a big influence on how you feel. To cut down on stress, always start your day with breakfast. Also, eat more fish and nuts, and vitamin B6, found in bananas, turkey, brown rice and sweet potatoes.A. Eat healthilyB. Relax your mind and bodyC. Positively involve yourself in societyD. And team sports aren‟t the only way to reduce it.E. We don‟t share it with others and always shoulder it on our own.F. And being busy probably isn‟t the only thing going on in your life.G. However, connecting with people who matter to us can help us reduce stress.四、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）Do What You EnjoySometimes you may find that you are not happy in your life, although everything is going well. Most of the time you have to (41) this kind of unhappy life, since it is really hard to make changes and move on to a new business, which often involves taking (42) .My father, however, was a quite different example.

After leaving the insurance company, he worked insocial media and then in digital technology, which really (52) him.Of course he wasn‟t successful in everything he tried, but he told mefor (53) that he did something he liked, and that he had the (54) of doing what he enjoyed.(55) one‟s comfortable life is not easy. I‟ve learned this from my father, and I can say no matter whether the (56) is good or bad, it is (57) doing one‟s favorite. When we do something we love,itgives us extra (58) to meet our goals, which are associated with psychological well-being and health. As long as we have no (59) and give it a try,we are forced to push against ourselves.

Speak，speak，speak!Practise speaking as often as yon can--even speaking to yourself is good practice.Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version，see how you can do better and have another go.If yon do this severaltimes，you will find that each version is better than the last. Why not learn with someone else?It helps if you can learn with someone else. If yon can persuade a friend or family member to study with yon，it will make you keep working.Agree times to meet and set goals for the week，and test each other regularly.Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t knowPtactise improvising(即兴的)ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地)，even if yon don't know the exact words or phrases.Think of things yon might want to say whenever yon have spare time.A basic example is the rise of tenses.If you don't know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday，use the verb in the present tense and use the word for“yesterday”.Use facial expression，hand movements，anything to get your meaning across.Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)Guesswork is an important strategy in learning a new language.When listening to recorded material，yon aren’t expected to understand everything first time round.If you play the same piece several times，you will most probably understand something new each time.Learn to make maximum use of all the clues yon can pick up.For example，what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? etc.Build up your vocabularyA wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to le arn too mach at once.It’s best to study frequently，for short periods of time.Take a maximum ofsix or seven items of vocabulary and learn them.Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind，then come back to them later.Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.And above all，have fun!（）46.Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?A. To encourage others to startB. To record his own progress.C. To improve his speaking.D. To compare himself with others. （）47.Which of the following is the most important in learning Eng lish?A.Speaking.B.Pleasure.C.Intuition.D.V ocabulary. （）48.It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English.A.body languageB.a good memoryC.a good friendD.a proper dictionary（）49.Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true inlearning a language?A.Practice makes perfect.B.A good beginning is half done.C.Rome is not built in a day.D.Don’t run before you can walk.BBy far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable .They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be .No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others .There are many who shy away from aself-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work .Many able students state that they work in cycles .When they become interested in a topic they workon it attentively for three or four days at a time .On other days they avoid work completely .It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation（动机）to work .Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work .The “tough-mind ed” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration（灵感）.Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom” .Freedom from control and discipline（纪律）leads to unhappiness rather than to“sel f-expression” or “personality development” . Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality （及时），and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands.（）50.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to studyis .A.changing from one subject to anotherB.the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC.the unwillingness to follow a systematic planD.working on a subject only when one feels like it（）51.Which of the following is true?A.Many students are not interested in using aself-controlled timetable.B.Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed tim etable.C.Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.D.Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.（）52.The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means .A. when they have the energyB. when they are in the moodC. when they feel fitD. when they find conditions suitable （）53.A suitable title for the passage might be .A. Attitudes to StudyB.A Study PlanC. The difficulties of StudyingD. Study and Self-disciplineCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That wasa very clever thing you did.” or “You are su ch a smart child.”（）54. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless（）55. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use（）56. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible（）57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.DNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths.

"The fight against cyberbullying is like a war, and in this war I am a fearless fighter," Sadat Rahman said during a ceremony on November 13 in The Hague, the Netherlands. He added, "If everybody keeps supporting me, then together we will win this battle against cyberbullying."Rahman developed a mobile phone application that provides education about online bullying and a way to report cases of it. He said he began his work on the project after hearing the story of a 15-year-old girl who took her own life as a result of cyberbullying. "I will not stop until we receive no more cases through the app," Rahman said at the ceremony.The award comes with a fund of over $118,000, which is invested by the Kids Rights Foundation. The group chooses projects to support causes that are closely linked to the winner's work.Past well-known winners of the prize include Pakistani human rights activist Malala Yousafzai and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. And the students who organized the March for Our Lives event in 2018 after a deadly mass shooting at their school in the American state of Florida also won the prize.Yousafzai praised Rahman's work during the ceremony.

The Red Delicious apple is likely to lose its title as the most popular apple this year, which it held for more than half a century. The U.S. Apple Association is projecting, that the Gala apple will usurp（夺取）the Red Delicious for the top spot.The group, which advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business, predicted that the U. S. would grow 52.4 million Gala apples in 2018, up 5.9 percent from a year earlier. Red Delicious apple production is expected to fall 10.7 percent to 51.7 million.Consumers apparently like the Gala's "taste, texture（口感）and sweetness," the U.S. Apple Association said in a statement. "The rise in production of newer varieties of apples aimed at the fresh consumption domestic market has caused demand for the Red Delicious to decline." said Mark Seetin, the association's director of regulatory and industry affairs.The Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are expected to rank third, fourth and fifth. The association predicted that within a year or two the Honeycrisp may pass the Granny Smith and Fuji, jumping into third place. The production of the apple rose 21.8 percent to 23.5 million this year. That puts it ahead of the Golden Delicious apple for the first time. The Honeycrisp was created by the University of Minnesota's apple breeding（培育）program only 21 years ago. It typically costs more than its competitors.Until the 1970s, Americans had only a few choices of apples. While the Golden Delicious offered a color contrast and the Granny Smith brought tartness（酸味）to the table, the Red Delicious was the star, heavily promoted by Washington state growers. Then wholesalers began looking for tastier varieties, finding them overseas in Japan, home to the Fuji, and New Zealand, which had the Braeburn and Gala.（1）How does the author prove Americans' preference for the Gala?A.By using statistics.B.By listing examples.C.By explaining causes.D.By presenting research findings.（2）What do we know about the Honeycrisp?A.It is sour in flavor.B.It is light in color.C.It is gaining popularity.D.It is losing its price advantage.（3）Which of the following comes from New Zealand?A.The Fuji.B.The Honeycrisp.C.The Braeburn.D.The Granny Smith.（4）What does the text mainly tell us?A.Why Americans eat apples from different countries.B.How different apples are becoming popular in America.C.How American farmers choose their apple growing types.D.Why the Red Delicious was Americans' favorite for 50 years.causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. "At some point—you know, if you're intelligent—you realize maybe there's something else out there," he says.【长难句分析】1.

上海市高二年级第一学期期末英语考试卷(含答案)
上海市高二年级第一学期期末英语考试卷（时间90分钟，满分120分）II. Grammar and vocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). Once students recognize it, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决): stay calm.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue , encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.51. A. B. C. D.52. A. B. C. D.53. A. B. C. D.54. A. B. C. D.55. A. B. C. D.56. A. B. C.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in thepassage you have just read.(A)The first step in exercising for most people is determining whether or not they should. This is particularly true with anyone over thirty-five, especially if they have been heavy smokers. Likewise, young adults who have been very inactive should proceed slowly and with caution. A physical evaluation from a physician is recommended, preferably one that includes an exercise-stress test. While a person is exercising, a stress test detects cardiovascular(心血管的) problems that might not show up when the body is at rest. This is done by monitoring blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen cons umption, and the heart’s electrical activity while exercising.Whatever exercise program is selected, it is important to start with warm-up periods. These should include stretching exercises, jumping jacks(原地跳跃运动), or active walking. The idea is to increase heart rate and circulation slowly without placing a sudden strain on the heart or the muscles that are starting to work.The next phase in developing an exercise program is to determine the amount of exercise that is enough to condition the muscles and cardiovascular system without overly straining the body. This involves taking one’s pulse and finding one’s target zone. This target zone, or safe-training pulse rate, is established by subtracting one’s age from 220 and then taking 60 percent to 80 percent of that total. If you are just starting to exercise 60 percent is recommended; 80 percent is recommended if you are already in good condition.36.What is NOT mentioned as a part of a stress test in Paragraph 1?A.Watching the heart’s el ectrical activity.B. Examining the blood pressure.C. Observing oxygen consumption.D. Increasing blood circulation37.The word “overly”(Line 2, Para.3) in the context best means ____.A)liable B)excessively C)extensive D)readily38.In order not to place much strain on the body, if you are a beginner and at the age of 45, the safe-training pulse rate suggested would be ____.A)105 B)220 C)140 D)17539.The author writes the passage mainly to recommend ____.A)that heavy smokers should quit smoking for the sake of their healthB)that we should proceed with warm-up periods after doing exercisesC)that young adults should live an inactive life instead of doing exercisesD)that we should take up physical exercises in the light of our physical condition答案：36.D)Increasing blood circulation. 参考原文第一段最后一句This is done by monitoring blood pressure(B), pulse rate, oxygen consumption(C), and the heart’s electrical activity(A) while exercising.37.B)excessively, 翻译为“过量的”, 最适合.38.A)105. 首先参考原文公式(220－age) ×60%~80%, 然后对照原文If you are just starting to exercise 60 percent is recommended得出算式(220－45) ×60%=105.39.D)that we should take up physical exercises in the light of our physical condition.参考译文：对多数人来说从事锻炼的第一步是确定是否应该参加锻炼。
