The old man walked with a cane (拐杖) slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, patched (打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd.He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, “Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand w ith that chair.”Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Supporting him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it.In a soft, clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss.”“You’re welcome, Sir.” She replied. “My name is Mary.I’ll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me.”After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon,and hot lemon tea, Mary brought him the change, helpinghim up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the frontdoor. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir!”He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, “You are very kind!”When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note writtenon the napkin, under which was a $ 100 bill.The note on the napkin read, “Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you.”The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant.

It’s never a re al problem for us when the weathergets cold. We can put on more clothes, stay next to a fireplace, turn on the air conditioner or simply travel toa warmer city to spend the winter – people have many different ways of dealing with the cold.________ But things are not as easy for plants. Unlike humans, plants can’t move to escape the cold or generate heat ( 发热) to keep themselves warm. So how do they manage to survive the freezing winter?________ It turns out that plants have their own strategies （策略） too, said a study published on Dec 22 in the journal Nature.________ According to researcher Amy Zanne of George Washington University, US, the cold is a big challenge for plants. Their living tissues （活组织） can be damaged when they freeze. “It’s like a plant’s equivalent to frostbite ( 相当于冻疮),” Zanne told Science Daily. Also, the process of freezing and thawing (解冻) can cause air bubbles （气泡）to form in the plant’s water transport system. “If enough of these air bubbles come together as water thaws they can block the flow of water from the roots to the leaves and kill the plant,” she explained.________ To live through cold weather, plants have developed three traits （特性） , according to the study. Some plants, such as oak trees（橡树）, avoid freezing damage by dropping their leaves before the winter chill sets in – effectively shutting off the flow of water between roots and leaves –and growing new leaves and water transport cells when the warm spring returns.________ Other plants, pine trees（松树） for example, protect themselves by narrowing their water transport cells, which makes it easier for cells to travel among air bubbles.________ The third strategy is also the most extreme – some plants die on the ground in winter and start growing as new plants from seeds when conditions get warmer.However, the study also found that these smart strategies were developed very slowly – over millionsof years of evolution （进化）. This leads scientists to worry that plants may not be able to deal with human-caused climate change, which has onlystarted occurring over the past few decades.Scientists are hoping that this study can help people find possible waysto save plants from the threatof climate change.1. What is the article mainly about?A. Why plants are not afraid of the winter chill.B. The ways that plants survive cold weather.C. Changes in plants’ water transp ort system in winter.D. How plants evolve to keep up with climate change.2. According to the article, if a plant freezes in the winter, ______.A. it produces more living tissues to stay aliveB. its leaves quickly fall out and its roots begin to dieC. lots of air bubbles form in its water transport systemD. its water transport system could be blocked in the spring3. What are scientists worried about when it comes toplants according to the article?A. Plants may not be able to adapt to the increasingly cold climate.B. Human activities might have a great impact on the pace of plants’ evolution.C. Plants may not be able to evolve fast enough to adapt to human-caused climate change.D. The strategies plants develop are not good enough to protect them against cold.19. I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down，I immediately recognized that something was wrong，and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Sha with her three¬ month¬ old calf struggling in the fast rising water，and it was a life and death struggle.Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Sha was as near to the far bank as she could get，holding her whole body against the rushing water，and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean （完全地）over the mother's body and was gone. Ma Sha turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calfwith her head and trunk (象鼻) against the rocky bank.Then with a huge effort，she picked it up in her trunkand tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.Just at this moment，she fell back into the river. If she were carried down，it would be certain death. I knew，aswell as she did，that there was one spot (地点) where she could get up the bank，but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.While I was wondering what I could do next，I heard the sound of a mother's love. Ma Sha had crossed the riverand got up the bank and was making her way back asfast as she could，roaring (吼叫) all the time，but to her calf it was music.1.

2019-2020学年西安高级中学高三英语下学期期末试卷及答案
2019-2020学年西安高级中学高三英语下学期期末试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn Sweden, McDonald’s is building “bee hotels” on the back of its roadside billboards (广告牌) to help save the country’s decreasing bee population. It launched the campaign together with outdoor advertising giant JCDecaux. Six large wooden bee hotels, with drilled holes on the front, first appeared on the back of a north-facing billboard in Jarfalla in September.“Without pollination (授粉) from bees, a thirdof the food we eat would be threatened.” McDonald’s said. But it turns out that at least 30 percent of the country’s wild bee population is endangered, according to the fast-food chain. A big problem is that they lack places to live. Based on data released by Chalmers University of Technology, we know Sweden owns 274 species of bees, of which 37 species are bumblebees, and more than a third are decreasing or face the risk of decreasing. Their natural habitats have been damaged by factors including the changes of agricultural activities and fast urbanization (城市化). Fortunately, most bees are able to survive in urban habitats, like the bee hotels.Every McDonald’s authorized restaurant in Sweden will be allowed to order their own bee hotel billboards and design the messages by themselves, as the fast-food chain says. It is their hope that the number of hotels could grow to a greater extent in the near future. Great efforts in addition to that have been made by the company. On World Bee Day, May 20, it introduced “the world’s smallest McDonald’s”. McHive, which could function as an actual beehive (蜂箱). Designed by set designer Nilsson himself, the creation was sold for $10,000 at a charity fundraiser held for Ronald McDonald House Charities.Beehives can be found on the rooftops of some McDonald’s restaurants in Sweden, too. This took place in certain areas but is now followed by an increasing number of participants. More McDonald’s restaurants are making an effort to improve the living conditions of wild bees by removing the grass round their restaurants to grow flowers and plants instead.1. According to the passage, the challenge that wild bees are facing is ________A. the fast process of industry.B. the world's Large amount of trash.C. the rapid development of urbanization.D. the sharp growth of population.2. How does McDonald's help wild bees in Sweden?A. By providing shelters for bees.B. By offering food to bees.C. By advertising rescue activities.D. By putting up more billboards.3. What is the best title for the text?A. Wild bees in dangerB. The loss of bees’ habitatsC McDonald’s bee hotelsD. The protection of wild beesBIt's the near future.Animal populations have fallen sharply and 80% of species are extinct.The forests are so rare that you need to make a booking to visit one. Birds also face extinction.The Arctic terns,a species evolved to fly across the world on4000kmannual journeys，are on their last migration (迁徙) to Antarctica.The Last Migrationby the Sydney-based writer Charlotte McConaghy is a different sort of climate novel，one in which the heroine's(女主人公)damaged soul is as much a story as the damaged environment This is McConaghy's first work of literary fiction,after a history publishing in science fiction and a romantic fantasy series."I wanted to try and engage with the climate crisis closely,"she said."It's hard to nail down where he book came from.But I had Toni Morrison's words in my head:'If there's a book you really want to read,but i hasn't been written yet,then you must write it.'I love that. It really speaks to me.""I wanted to write about the way the natural world is disappearing but I didn't know a way in."The way in”, she says, was to"go travelling.I went to Ireland and Iceland,and thought about these incredible journeys of the terns and these people who study hes journeys."The book became a story of a double journey: the migration of the birds,and a broken woman's travelling to the end of the earth.Much of the book is told in flashbacks, the action jumping between the south coast of New South Wales to the west coast of Ireland and to Greenland."I've always been fascinated with Ireland: the landscape, the people and the poetry and music.I wasfascinated with writing a character from there. It was a way to connect more with the place."McConaghy says she also wanted to have a character who was"of two places"."I had lived in 21 houses by the time I was 21, as a result I definitely know how it feels to feel as if you are not sure where you belong and feeling as if you are between two worlds."4. How isThe Last Migrationdifferent from other climate novels?A. It forecasts environmental destruction.B. It features a bird's cross-continental migration.C It combines science fiction well with romantic fantasy.D. It attaches equal importance to the heroine's broken soul.5. What did McConaghy think of Toni Morrison's words?A. Inspirational.B. One-sided.C. Authoritative.D. Casual.6. Why did McConaghy go travelling?A. To appreciate the landscape of Ireland.B. To follow the migration of the birds.C. To get away from her tiresome life.D. To find ideas for her new book.7. How might a character "of two places"feel?A. Content and carefree.B. More connected with nature.C. Lacking in a sense of belonging.D. Knowledgeable about the world.CNaomi Cooke was walking with a friend and their dogs through her local park in Burnside, on Tuesday when she heard someone shout to watch out. Cooke turned and hardly had time to react before a flying disc hit her in the face with a "big bang”, leaving her right cheek swollen almost to the size of a golfball.Two men playing disc golf at the course in Jellie Park were about 20 metres fromthe pairwhen one of them threw the disc hard, aiming for a nearby goal.After being hit Cooke immediately went to the emergency department, where two CT scans on her face and cheek found she had escaped any broken bones. "I'm lucky it didn't hit my eye because I think I would have lost it." Cooke said.Cooke often walks her dog at the park and said it was always busy with people playing disc golf, but it was not until after Tuesday that she became concerned about public safety there.There were no signs about the disc golf course in the park, she said, and the area is shared with children and people walking their dogs.“If it had hit one of the kids in the head, it could have killed them.” Cooke did not think she was the only person who had been hit before, and said there would be others who share her concerns.Cooke planned to go to the council, saying it needed to realise how dangerous it was for the space to be shared by everyone and to provide disc golfers with a space where they can play safely. "There should be rules about how it's done, making it safe for everyone.”8. What happened to Cooke on Tuesday?A. She was struck by a golf ball.B. She was hit by a flying disc.C. She was beaten by two men.D. She was frightened by a mad dog.9. What do the underlined words "the pair" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Cooke and her friend.B. Cooke and her dog.C. The two disc golfers.D. The two CT scans.10. How did Cooke feel about people playing disc golf in the park?A. Acceptable.B. Shocked.C. Angry.D. Worried.11. Why did Cooke plan to go to the council?A. To get the two men in trouble.B. To call for a ban on disc golf.C. To ask for personal protection.D. To call for safer places for disc golf.DBecoming famous is the dream of many, and Tian is getting closer to that dream.Tian, 30, is a white-collar worker inBeijing. On short video application Douyin, Tian has more than 2,000 fans. So far, she has received more than 50,000 likes on the Dubsmash-like app. On her page on Douyin, Tian shares everything, from her son’s daily activities, to her pet dogs, to little skits (段子) made up by her and her husband. “Making funny videos, and combining them with music is really interesting,” Tian said. “Of course, I make the videos for fun because it is quite relaxing.”China’s short video market has seen great growth, according to areport. The report said thatChina’s short video market was valued at 5.73 billion yuan ($900 million) in 2017, an increase of 184 percent. The industry value is expected to go up to the 30 billion mark in 2020. Companies like Tencent, Sohu and Iqiyi have all startedproviding short video content.“Short videos are popular because they are an addition to traditional audio and video content on the internet,” said Sun Jiashan with the Chinese National Academy of Arts.Fans say that the short videos help them “chill out” from a stressed-out lifestyle. “My favorite videos are all about pets,” said Zhou Na, a nurse inHefei, capital of East China’sAnhuiprovince. “After a whole day’s work, watching the 15-second videos makes me laugh, which reduces my pressure.”12.

It was only when visiting the classrooms of universities with his two teenage daughters that he suddenly felt himself at home among ‘the atmosphere of learning’.After school Pep had intended to study biology but was called on to help run the family business instead. When he was at school, he developed a reputation for helping others and so was invited onto the local radio, where the presenter said. “You’re like a young psychologist(心理学家).”Pep was no stranger to change. The family business had originally been a sawmill(锯木厂). But when Pep, then 27, was asked if he wanted to take over, he decided to change the mill into the town’s first supermarket.One day in the shop, the radio presenter’s comment came back to him. After running the idea past his family, he applied to a university in Palma to study psychology and, aged 46, was accepted.“I had to get used to being much older than the other students.” he says. “But I ended up helping the others because I’d had more life experience.” Pep came top of his year and impressed his tutors(导师)so much that he was offered a job researching and teaching. Now 52, and still in the job. He adds, “My only regret is not having done it earlier.”The traditional view used to be that, while making changes in your youth wasacceptable, you should then settle on a career and stick to it. But today record numbers of 50-and 60-somethings are choosing to take on new challenges. Job satisfaction becomes increasingly significant when you’ve only got a few miles on the clock.4．Why did Pep determine to return to school at the age of 46?A．He was eager to help others.B．He was tired of staying at the same job for so long.C．He decided to earn a degree and make more money.D．Accompanying his daughters to universities inspired him to learn.5．What caused Pep to quit his dream of further studying?A．Failing to achieve excellent academic results.B．Getting bored with the atmosphere of learning.C．The desire to try his hand at the commercial market.D．The request of taking over the family business from home.6．How does Pep feel about his present situation?A．Dissatisfied. B．Appreciative. C．Doubtful. D．Confused. 7．What does the text intend to convey?A．Great hopes make great man. B．A brave attempt is half success. C．Do what you say, say what you do! D．It’s never too late to fulfill your dream.As soon as you meet, or even see, a person, you form an impression of him based on his postures, gestures and facial expressions. This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have formed an impression about what type of person you are and what kind of employee you would become, and 55% of this will be based only on your body language. Here are some tips to make that impression a good one.First of all, relax. Think positive thoughts and you are more likely to come across as a positive, confident person during the interview. Dress smartly, as yourappearance is one of the first things an interviewer will notice you. Stand up straight, and walk in with your shoulders back and your head up. Try to avoid slowing down as you walk into the room because this suggests fear and uncertainty. Shake hands with the interviewer firmly. You should have a positive handshake and a warm smile. Opening your coat or jacket as you sit down shows that you, too, are open.Posture is important. You should be sitting well back in your seat. Sit up straight and lean forward slightly, but not too much. Sitting at too much of an angle expresses discomfort and distrust. Two of the most common defensive（防卫的）signals are crossing your arms and legs, so try to avoid them.Another important issue is eye contact. Looking someone in the eye shows confidence in yourself and trust in the other person. However, don’t overdo it, as too much eve contact or staring will make the other person uncomfortable. Use more eye contact when listening than when talking, and when you look away, look down. Looking up at the ceiling will make you seem bored or rude.8．The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers .A．what a good first impression isB．how to make a good first impressionC．how long it takes to make a first impressionD．the importance of making a good first impression9．Which of the following does the author advise you to do when you are being interviewed?A．Cross your arms or legs.B．Open your coat or jacket when sitting down.C．Go into the room more slowly than usual.D．Avoid looking at the eyes of the interviewer directly.10．If you lean forward too much, it means .A．you are very thrilled B．you are really comfortableC．you don’t trust others D．you don’t have confidence 11．Where can we read this passage?A．In a newspaper. B．In a biography.C．In a chemical paper. D．In a fiction novel.When you’re worried about stumbling(绊脚), you look down at your feet when you walk. Similarly, fish also do so when they swim, a new study finds.When water moves around them, fish have to find ways to stabilize themselves so they don’t get swept away. If they focus on other fish or other moving objects in the water, they might wrongly believe they are moving. Instead, when they look down and focus on the river bottom, they’re able to more correctly judge their movement and speed.“There are many misleading motion cues(提示) above them, but the most abundant and reliable signals are from the bottom of the river” says study author Emma Alexander, an assistant professor of computer science at Northwestern University.Researchers were fascinated by a recently discovered behavior where fish respond more strongly to motion below them than above them. To completely understand that behavior, they turned to zebrafish, which are often used for research and are well-studied. They had a team following the fish in a lab and another in India to analyze the fish in their natural habitat.In the lab, they tracked fish’s movements inside a tank. Researchers recorded videos in seven sites around India—in shallow rivers where zebrafish are found. They placed a camera inside a waterproof case and attached it to a remotely controlled robotic arm. They put the camera in the water to see what the fish were doing.Analyzing the videos and data, researchers found that in both the wild and the lab situations, zebrafish looked down when they were swimming forward. They came to the conclusion that the fish looked down in order to understand the motion around them and then they were able to avoid being swept away in the current.“Understanding that ability not only helps researchers learn more about fish, it may also give them information when designing some robots. The finding of fish’s motion response can help us build artificial vision systems that benefit from the lessons of hundreds of millions of years of evolution behind them.” Alexander says. 12．Why do fish seldom focus on other moving objects above them?A．To save energy for their moving. B．To stay still in the water all the time. C．To avoid misleading motion cues. D．To protect themselves from enemies. 13．What did the researchers do for their study?A．They collected a variety of fish from India.B．They tracked fish’s movements in the rivers.C．They created some natural habitats in their lab.D．They interacted with fish in person in the water.14．What does Emma Alexander mainly talk about in the last paragraph?A．The secrets of fish in the water. B．The value of the study finding. C．The principles of designing robots. D．The meaning of artificial vision systems.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Watch Below to Avoid StumblingB．Artificial Vision Systems Are VitalC．Fish Look Down When They SwimD．Fish-inspired Robots Will Take ShapeIn the digital age, it has become easy for students to find and copy published material. Copying another person’s writing without giving them credit is called plagiarism. Universities in the U.S. have rules for avoiding plagiarism. But learning to correctly follow these rules can be difficult for some international students.Copyright law protects original works of authorship including books, movies, images and artworks. However, the law permits the unlicensed use for activities including comment, education and research. Therefore, students can include a small part of copyrighted works in their writing and research if they provide credit, or citation (引文), to the creators of the works. Many universities even urge students to give credit to what they get from conversations with professors or other students. Harvard even warns students about copying themselves. That is, they cannot hand in the same work for more than one class without the permission of their instructors.It is easy for professors to know whether a student has plagiarized. First, there are computer programs that compare students’ papers to large databases of published writing. The programs can identify whether students have copied published writing. Second, if English is not a student’s first language, a professor might recognize a change in vocabulary and writing style. The punishment for plagiarism can vary. Professors could simply warn a student not to do it again, lower their grade, or they may fail the student in that class. In more extreme cases, a student may be temporarily banned from school.There are free tools students can use. Zotero is a free, open-source program that helps organize all the research a student may use. For example, it can automatically create citations and combine them into a list. The Purdue OWL is another free resource. Many universities also have writing centers where students can learn the citation rules. And another way is to read published papers and pay attention to how information is presented. Students should observe when and how citations are used, which can help them learn the rules of citations.16．What must students do when using a small part of copyrighted works? A．Have a conversation with professors. B．Ask for permission from the authors. C．Offer credit to the original creators. D．Explain the purpose of using them. 17．How can professors know if their students are plagiarizing?A．By making a specific comparison.B．By recording the students’ learning experience.C．By learning the students’ first language.D．By researching into the database of writing.18．What does the author want to stress in the last paragraph?A．The tips on when citations are used.B．The ways of making a citation safe.C．The rules of using free resource.D．The free resources on the website.19．What is the best title of this text?A．Learning Plagiarism in the Digital AgeB．Commenting on Students’ PlagiarismC．Realizing the Influence of PlagiarismD．Following Rules to Avoid Plagiarism二、完形填空As a single father, I succeeded in keeping my two children quiet that night.and more stories.

2019-2020学年西安高级中学高三英语下学期期末考试试题及答案
2019-2020学年西安高级中学高三英语下学期期末考试试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AWhen it comes to the greatest inventions of the world, China’s name is sure to be mentioned several times. There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.AlcoholShocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC - 1600 BC. Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.TeaChina is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.The Mechanical ClockHave you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.Silk FabricSilk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A.people in the US like alcoholB.beer was popular in the Xia DynastyC.Yi Di and Du Kang invented alcohol by accidentD.the author didn’t know alcohol is a Chinese invention2.The author asks the question in Paragraph 4 to show ________.A.ancient Chinese inventors were wiserB.many things in our lives are incompleteC.ancient Chinese people never wasted timeD.the invention of the mechanical clock is important3.Which of the following invention has a longer history?A.Tea.B.Alcohol.C.Silk fabric.D.The mechanical clock.BPeople from Britain and Ireland first came to live in Australia in 1788. They brought different dialects (方言) of English with them. These different kinds of English began to mix and change. The newcomers soon began to speak with their own typical accent (口音) and vocabulary. More and more people came to Australia during the Gold Rush in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some came from Britain and Ireland; others came from non-English speaking countries. Australian English continued to grow and change.Australian English has also been influenced by American English. During the Second World War, there were many American soldiers staying in Australia. More importantly, American television shows and music have been popular in Australia since the 1950s.Australians use many words that other English speakers do not use. The famous Australian greeting, for example, is G’day! A native forest is called the bush and central Australia is called the outback. Many words were brought to Australia from Britain and Ireland. For example, mate means “friend”, and it is still used in Britain. Some of these words have changed in meaning. Some words have come from Australian original languages, many of which are names for animals, plants and places, like dingo and kangaroo.Australian spelling comes from British spelling. In words like organise and realise, -ise is the expected and taught spelling method. In words like colour, favourite, -ouris the normal, but nouns such as the Labor Party and Victor Harbor are spelled with -or. Program, on the other hand, is more common than programme.There are also differences in the definition (定义) of words Australians use in different parts of the country. For example, football means “rugby” in New South Wales and Queensland, but “Australian rules football" in everywhere else in Australia. In New South Wales, a swimming costume is called a cossie or swimmers, while in Queensland it is called togs and bathers in Victoria.4. What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A. Reasons why English is important.B. Different dialects of Australian English.C. Various aspects that Australian English has been influenced.D. Changes of the accent and vocabulary in English.5. According to the text, which of the following is spoken only by Australians?A. Mate.B. Outback.C. Program.D. Rugby.6. Which is the following can best describe Australian English?A. Confusing and interesting.B. Multicultural and creative.C. Crazy and boring.D. Unchangeable and mixed.7. What might be the best title for the text?A. The History of AustraliaB. The Birth of Australian EnglishC. The Development of Australian EnglishD Different Kinds of English Across the WorldCWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood，he wasbetter off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys fromBoston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence（能力）and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, ” said George Vaillant, the psychologist（心理学家）who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchersalso found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings（基础）of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.”8. What do we know about John？A. He received little love from his family.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He enjoyed his career and marriage.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.9. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _______.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents' expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men10. Vaillant's team got their findings by _______.A. recording the boys' effort in schoolB. comparing different sets of scoresC. evaluating the men's mental healthD. measuring the men's problem solving ability11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D.Independenceis the key to one's success.DIt was five years ago that something unforgettable happened. My wife and I celebrated our 40thwedding anniversary that year. It was a lovely event hosted by our sons for us. My wonderful friends from the past surprised us with gifts and congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drovefromOntariointoAlberta, then southward intoGlacierNational ParkinMontana, and continued toYellowstoneNational Park.It was a cold spring day, and theBeartooth Highwayhad opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens.There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. As he approached us, his only words were, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could express our gratitude. The photo he took is one of the most valuable and prized of our trip.I learned my lesson somewhere I least expected it. We should never judge a man by his appearance. If the motorcycle driver reads this story and remembers the situation, we would like to say “Thank you” to him.12. According to the passage, what do we know about the trip?A. It was taken by train to the west.B. It was a suggestion from their friends.C. It was in the late autumn five years ago.D. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary.13. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture?A. He could have lost the camera.B. His wife might not be satisfied with the view there.C. The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera.D. The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures.14. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle?A. Kind and straightforward.B. Rich and generous.C. Creative and capable.D. Careful and admirable.15. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?A. No pains, no gains.B. Seeing is believing.C. Don’t judge a book by its cover.D. The longest journey begins with the first step.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
陕西省高一下学期期末英语试卷(附答案)
陕西省高一下学期期末英语试卷(附答案）一、阅读理解With the Gulf of Mexico towards the south,the Atlantic Ocean in the east, and the Pacific Ocean in the west, the extensive coastline of the USA is exposed to vast bodies of water. To ensure you have the happiest experience, we have collected a list of some of the most amazing sandy beaches here.ORANGE BEACH, ALABAMAResting in the Gulf of Mexico,Orange Beach stands out because of its sand, which shines remarkably under the golden sun. Orange Beach houses the largest man-made fishing reef in the country, making it ideal for anyone wanting to experience a deep-sea trip.ELMATADOR BEACH, MALIBUKnown as one of the most beautiful beach spots for vacationing, the sharp coastline of El Matador State Beach has to be one of Malibu’s most unique and breathtaking coastlines with the most amazing rocky cliffs(悬崖). Anyone can hop on an incredible whale-watching trip and enjoy the coastline’s high cliffs and enormous giant rocks.CLEARWATER BEACH, FLORIDAShallow waters, and gorgeous sunny weather are the perfect excuse for all travelers to spend a fun-filled day at Clear water Beach in Florida. It’s the perfect relaxation spot for families, featuring white sand and clear blue shallow water.LANIKAI BEACH, OAHU, HAWAIIDespite being barely a half-mile long, Lanikai is the perfect example of the breathtaking sites we see on the back of postcards and far away from the masses of people. It is safeguarded by an offshore coral reef, which makes it the perfect place to go snorkeling and other water sports such as windsurfing and sailing. 1．What is the author’s purpose of writing this text?A．To make a travel plan. B．To guarantee a good experience.C．To improve the sailing skill. D．To study the USA coastline.2．What is special for the El Matador State Beach?A．Rocky cliffs. B．Perfect sands.C．Breathtaking sunsets. D．Exciting sports.3．Which will probably attract a visitor willing to avoid crowds?A．Orange Beach B．El Matador State BeachC．Clear water Beach D．Lanikai BeachFriday and Saturday were full of surprises for Chinese, as two places in China were listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites. The first, a World Natural Heritage, is composed of a series of migratory bird sanctuaries (候鸟保护地) along the coast of the Yellow Sea in Yancheng, East China’s Jiangsu Province. The second, the Liangzhu Archaeological Site in Hangzhou, East China’s Zhejiang Province, was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site.China began the application process for the bird sanctuaries in 2017. It only took two years to successfully complete the process. The migratory bird sanctuaries are the central node of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and many endangered species, especially threatened migratory birds including red-crowned cranes and flamingos, go there to hunt for food during the migration season. The birds usually take a month to finish their migration. At about 10 days into their migration, they must stop and find food in order to have the energy to continue their journey.Compared to the short turnaround for the World Natural Heritage’s application, the Liangzhu application was far more complicated. The application team spent six years making their dream a reality. The site in Liangzhu is evidence of the existence of an early regional state in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the late Neolithic period in China, which helps fill in the gaps in the history of the rice-cultivating civilizations of China and East Asia more than 5000 years ago.

Instead, he talked with the so-called bully and realized that the boy was struggling, too.Aubrey Fontenot’s son, Jordan, told him a boy named Tamarion was teasing him. Fontenot decided to sit down with his son and Tamarion to understand what was going on, and something unexpected happened.Tamarion told Fontenot he was being teased at school, too. “I asked, ‘By who? You are big. You are huge. Who is teasing you?’” the father said. “He said, ‘Justall the other kids, man. They are making fun of me.” Fontenot learned that Tamarion was getting teased for his clothes and shoes—his clothes and shoes were old and dirty. Fontenot then spoke to the boy’s mother. “She kind of confirmed it,” Fontenot said. “And she said, ‘That’s the kind of situation.’”He felt sympathetic to the young boy and wanted to help. So he asked Tamarion’s mom if he could take her son to do some shopping.Fontenot posted videos of their trip to the mall on social media and they went viral.

On Jan. 3, Chang’e 4 became the first space probe (探测器) in history to successfully land on the far side (dark side) of the moon. After a 26-day journey, it touched softly down on a crater. The whole process of landing lasted 12 minutes, which opened a new page in history of mankind’s space exploration.The far side of the moon is the side that we can not see. We don’t know much about it. This landing is of great importance. The far side of the moon is an ideal place for scientific research. It may have unique minerals (矿物质）and other resources. Scientists can make clearer observations of deep space from there.Chang’e 4 has sent back photos of the far side of the moon. It is also being used to carry out experiments. The data collected from these experiments could be used to help us build a base on the moon in the future. The success of the Chang’e 4 mission (任务) is a major achievement for China’s space program.China launched its lunar (月球的) exploration program in 2004, naming it Chang’e. Chinese scientists set three goals-“orbiting (环绕运行), landing and sample returning”. Chang’e 4 has realized the second goal. The third will be achieved during the Chang’e 5 mission, which is set to take place before the end of this year.Following the success of the Chang’e missions, Chinese scientists are looking even farther into our’ solar system. China’s first Mars mission is expected to be carried out by 2020.12．Chang’e 4 is the first space probe in the world to land ________.A．in deep spaceB．on the moonC．on the near side of the moonD．on the far side of the moon13．The underlined word “observations” in paragraph 2 meansA．学习B．观察C．描述D．庆祝14．Which of the following is the second goal of China’s lunar exploration program?
