（每小题2分，满分30分）AOutside her cottage, old Mrs. Taylor was hanging out laundry on a wire line, unaware that some children were hiding in a nearby tree watching her every move. They were determined to find out if she really was a witch.（女巫）They watched nervously as she took a broomstick(长柄扫帚）to sweep the dirt from her stone steps. But much to their disappointment, she didn’t get on the broomstick and fly off. The old lady only looked up when her hen began to make sounds loudly —signaling that she had laid an egg in the nest on the top of the haystack.(干草堆).The old lady put aside her broomstick and walked to the haystack, followed by Michael, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap. With only three legs, it was hard for Michael to keep up with his mistress. The cat was proof for the children that only a witch would own a black cat with three legs! Crawling further along the branches, they could clearly see the haystack.Mrs. Taylor was standing on a wooden box with the new-laid egg in one hand. Placing the egg in her pocket, she readied herself to climb down. Then, without warning, the box broke under her and she crashed to the ground. The children were in horror.“Should we go and help her?” asked Mia.“What if it’s a trick?” repl ied Patrick. “She probably knows we’re here. Witches know things like that!”After thinking for a while, Julia said“Anyway, we should go and check whether she is all right.”Approaching prudently, they could see a wound on the old lady’s forehead. She had knocked her head on a stone and was unconscious.“Go and get Dad,” Mia yelled to her brothers. “Tell him about the accident.”T he boys didn’t need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hoping that Mrs. Taylor would not regain consciousness and turn the girls into frogs.Later, in the hospital, the old lady smiled her thanks. “I was so lucky that you lovely children happened to be passing when 1 fell. I must have yelled quite loudly.”The children exchanged guilty glances, but were very pleased that she was not a witch after all!21. Mrs. Taylor stopped sweeping when_______.A. her doorstep became very cleanB. she heard the hen making sounds loudlyC. she noticed the children in the treeD. her cat Michael managed to get her attention22. Why was Patrick not willing to help Mrs. Taylor when she fell ？A. He thought that she could be cheating them.B. He was afraid of the three-legged black cat.C. He did not think that she was hurt in the fall.D. He knew he a nd the others shouldn’t h ave been in her tree.23. Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the underlined word “prudently” ?A. Slowly.B. Hurriedly.C. Carefully.D. Quietly.24. Which of these old sayings best summaries the lesson from story?A. Make hey while the sun shines.B. Never judge a book by its cover.C. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.D. People in gla sshouses shouldn’t throw stones.BRemembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person's name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After you've been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you're making to learn their names.Admit you don't know.Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, "I'm working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?"Use associations.Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could mak e a mental note: "Vicki Cheng…… tall, black hair." To reinforce(加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering everyone. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.25. If you can't remember someone's name, you may .A. tell him the truthB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you26. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember.A. all their namesB. a couple of names firstC. just their last namesD. as many names as possible27. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Tips on an important social skill.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. How to recite and repeat names.CThe rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government’s health budge t（预算)be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For example, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, suchas running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.In addition, health education plays a key role in improving pe ople’s health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one’s family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.Hinderer, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.28. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Prevention or Education?B. Prevention or Treatment?C. Health or Illness?D. Exercise or Illness?29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “bankrupt”?A. Unable to be cured.B. Unable to pay one’s debts.C. Stronger than ever before.D. More successful than ever before.30. We learn from the passage that .A. dressing warmly can prevent diseasesB. a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exerciseC. It’s better to have more health education.D. the government’s health budget should be increased31. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP(Central Point) P(Point) S(Sub—point次要点) C(Conclusion)DBringing up children is hard work, and you are often to blame for any bad behavior of your children. If so, Judith Rich Harris has good news for you. Parents, she argues, have no important long -term effects on the development of the personality of their children. Far more important are their playground friends and neighborhood. Ms. Harris takes to hitting the assumption, which has dominated(支配) developmental psychology for almost half a century.Ms. Harris's attack on the developmental psychologists’ "n urture" argument looks likely to reinforce(加强） doubts that the profession was already having. If parents matter, why is it that two adopted children, brought up in the same home, are no more similar in personality than two adopted children brought up in separate homes? Or that a pair of identical twins, brought up in the same home, are no more alike than a pair of identical twins brought up in different homes?Difficult as it is to track the clear effects of parental upbringing, it may be harder to measure the exact influence of the peer(同龄人) group in childhood and adolescence. Ms. Harris points to how children from immigrant homes soon learn not to speak at school in the way their parentsspeak. But acquiring a language is surely a skill, rather than a characteristic of the sort developmental psychologists hunt for. Certainly it is different from growing up tensely or relaxed, or from learning to be honest or hard -working or generous. Easy though it may be to prove that parents have little impact on those qualities, it will be hard to prove that peers have vastly more.Moreover, mum and dad surely cannot be ignored completely. Young adults may, as Ms. Harris argues, be keen to appear like their peers. But even in those early years, parents have the power to open doors: they may choose the peers with whom their young associate, and pick that influential neighborhood. Moreover, most people suspect that they come to resemble their parents more in middle age. So the balance of influences is probably complicated. Even if it turns out that the genes they pass on and the friends their children play with matter as much as affection, discipline and good example, parents are not completely off the hook.32.According to Ms. Harris,______.A．parents are to blame for any bad behavior of their childrenB．children's personality is largely shaped by their friends and neighborsC．nature rather than nurture has a significant effect on children' s personality developmentD．parents will affect greatly the children's life in the long run33.The developmental psychologists think .A. children are more influenced by their peersB. identical twins raised in the same home are different in personalityC. twins raised in two separate families are different in personalityD. upbringing has a less significant effect on children’s personality development34.According to Paragraph 3, we know that .A. it is easier for children to gain a language at homeB. it is harder to follow the effects of parental upbringingC. immigrant children avoid speaking the same way as their parents at schoolD. it is proved that peers have a greater effect on children’s qualities35.What does the author mean by saying parents are not completely off the look at the end of the passage？A. Parents should control the situation.B. Parents should give their way to children.C. Parents should spend more time on children.D. Parents should take on their responsibility.第三部分英语知识应用第一节完型填空阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将题涂黑。

Klingbeil, 18, had to go through months of chemotherapy (化疗) and radiation treatments after her diagnosis, which left her too weak to compete.The COVID-19 left Klingbeil away from her teammates as school went virtual and track meets were canceled. She faced another challenge recently when doctors discovered her cancer had returned, leading to more chemotherapy.Despite the challenges, Klingbeil’s track coach, Rob Cloutier, reached out to her to see if she would like to join her teammates in a tradition in which seniors run the 4x100 race at the last home track meet of the season. “I told her to run the anchor leg, which is the final leg of the race,” said Cloutier. “I wanted her to be able to do it one last time.”Hearing the news, Klingbeil was excited. Meanwhile, Klingbeil was just starting to walk again after using a wheelchair due to complications (并发症) from chemotherapy, but she was committed to running her high school track one last time with her teammates.Klingbeil had a chemotherapy treatment on the day of the last track meet, May 24, and then put on her team uniform for the first time in over a year. When it washer turn, her three race teammates came to her side and walked the track with her. The entire Shen High School track team also walked along with Klingbeil from the field and then rushed and cheered for her when she crossed the finish line. “That was a great surprise,” Klingbeil said, “I feel accomplished because crossing the line was a perfect end of my high school track career.”Cloutier said he had watched Klingbeil go through her cancer battle with that same level of determination, saying “She’s worked through this challenge in her life without a single complaint and with a smile on her face. Everyone who has witnessed her can learn a little bit from that.”4．Why couldn’t Klingbeil continue her track career?A．She hurt her muscle badly.

One type of crab, known as the decorator crab, has found a clever solution. It “decorates” itself. Decorator crabs use seaweed to change their appearances so that predators (捕食者) will not recognize them.More than 100 species of decorator crabs are found all over the world. One species, commonly called the longnose spider crab, takes decorating to a whole new level.The ocean floor was covered in seaweed, but these crabs wouldn’t use just any kind they found. “They were very, very picky, and things they pick were quite uncommon.”says Dr. Stachowicz of the University California.He noticed that longnose spider crabs would grab a piece of seaweed and take a little bite. Sometimes they would just eat the seaweed. Other times, they would reach back and attach the piece to the small hairs on their back. These crabs were choosing to decorate themselves with seaweed that has a peppery-tasting (胡椒味) chemical in it. Most fish find this chemical unappetizing. “If the crabs just decorated to look like the background, they would be giving their predators a little side salad with the main course.” says Dr. Stachowicz. But by carefully choosing the peppery seaweed, these decorator crabs look less tasty and predators avoid them.Once a longnose spider crab has put together a good suit to protect itself, it is set for a while. The seaweed continues to grow even while it’s stuck to the crab’s back. When a crab sheds (去除) its old shell, it has to redecorate, often using seaweed from its old shell. Basically, the crab recycles.8．How do the longnose spider crabs differ from other decorator crabs?A．They like eating seaweed.B．They pick seaweed carefully.C．They have small hairs on their back.D．They use any seaweed to decorate themselves.9．What does the underlined word “unappetizing” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Unattractive. B．Unusual. C．Unhealthy. D．Unimportant. 10．What do we know about the longnose spider crabs from the text?A．They shed their old shells regularly.B．The decoration on their shells lasts forever.C．They prefer the seaweed that fish usually avoid.D．They never redecorate themselves with new seaweed.11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Survival Tips for the Crabs B．A Problem for CrabsC．Ways to Decorate the Crabs D．A Crab’s Clever ClothesCarleen Hutchins finished building her first stringed instrument (弦乐器) in 1949, when she was 38. She is remembered as an excellent luthier. A luthier is a person who makes stringed instruments, such as violins and guitars.Hutchins was a primary school science teacher. She took up the viola (中提琴) at 36. But she wasn’t satisfied with the viola she bought. Since she was a skilled woodworker, she decided to build one herself.For more than 50 years, she carved (雕刻) stringed instruments. Hutchins worked from her home — often in her kitchen. She used a scientific method to carve them. Over the years, she made around 500 instruments. Her method is still used. It helps luthiers carve high-quality stringed instruments.Hutchins also created a family of eight violins known as the violin octet. They change in size and tone (音调). “It’s how the instrument is carved that makes it a violin,” Joe McNalley says. He is the founder of the Hutchins Consort, a group that plays the octet.The four instruments in the string family are violin, viola, cello, and bass. They cannot play the lowest or highest notes of the piano. They play the notes in between. Hutchins created a family of eight violins that play all the notes a piano plays.D．Quincy Whitney has written a book about Hutchins. “For centuries, musicians had talked about creating a family of violins that had a total string sound as wide as a piano,” she said.Hutchins was an artist and a scientist. A big part of her dream was to create top-quality instruments that were affordable. “Her story is about how one person can not only make a difference,” says Whitney, “but can change a whole world.”12．Why did Hutchins start to make stringed instruments?A．She hoped to create a better viola.B．She was not satisfied with her career.C．She expected to be a skilled woodworker.D．She wanted to teach her students about music.13．What do we know about Hutchins?A．She headed the Hutchins Consort.B．She is very good at playing the octet.C．She learned a simple method to make instruments.D．She is a pioneer in the design of stringed instruments.14．Different from the traditional violin family, the violin octet _____.A．is easier to make B．has the same sizeC．produces richer sounds D．is less enjoyed by musicians 15．What is Whitney’s attitude to Hutchins?A．Respectful. B．Concerned.C．Doubtful. D．Worried.二、七选五You’re out on a hike, snacking on an apple,a banana, or a handful of nuts. When you’re finished, all that’s left is a core, a peel, perhaps a shell.“It’s natural,”you tell yourself, throwing it away carelessly. After all，food waste isanimals, or even put other people at risk.Food waste doesn’t decompose as fast as you think17 .But fewer people are aware that food waste like orange and banana peels can take up to two years to break down in the wild. And even if those food waste finally biodegrade, they can lead to many serious problems.Animals are attracted to food waste“Animals have a super advanced sense of smell compared to us,”says Jeff Marion, a biologist. All human food can attract animals. This can cause“attraction behavior”, which refers to human actions that cause animals to overcome their natural caution of people. 18Human food can make animals sickAnimals becoming attracted to and subsequently used to human food can lead to far-reaching health issues in animals. Food waste by the roadside may cause animals deaths because wildlife attracted to that food can be hit by a vehicle. 19 .Mostfood waste is never animals’ normal diet, which can be deadly.20To prevent any of these unwelcome effects, the best thing to do is to store and deal with food waste well. Don’t throw it about. Don’t burn it,as it is more difficult to burn. And if you pass other food waste on the trail or in the park, pick it up, even if it’s not yours.A．Most people know food waste is biodegradableB．Play your part by keeping your food to yourselfC．Make sure you won’t throw food waste randomlyD．The food itself can also make animals sick and even kill themE．Animals can’t get to know the harm that human food containsF．This sort of attraction behavior can quickly become dangerousG．But food waste can cause a lot more damage than you may think三、完形填空The parents who adopted (收养) Bruce Hollywood encouraged him to find histhe restaurant his birth mother had owned for decades in Japan and found out she had named it “Bruce”.Bruce couldn’t 34 the moving words he heard when seeing his birth mother for the first time in 45 years.

2022-2023学年四川省高一下学期期末考试英语试卷一、阅读理解On a rainy afternoon, maybe one of the following books will keep you company leisurely, allowing you to spend your time alone as well as stepping into a different world.Don’t Shed Your Tears for Anyone Who Lives on These Streets,by Patricio PronIn April 1945, Italy, a writer disappeared at a conference and was found dead at another place. Thirty years later, a young man interviewed survivors from the conference, trying to uncover the truth about what happened and its consequences. This novel, by a well-known Argentine writer, explores art, crime and politics.When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul KalanithiAt thirty-six, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient. This autobiography finds hope and beauty in the face of death as Kalanithi attempts to answer the question “What makes a life worth living?”.To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper LeeSet in a small Alabama town in the 1930s, the story focuses on honest, highly respected lawyer Atticus Finch who puts his career on the line when he agrees to represent Tom Robinson, a black man accused of committing a crime.Nobody Will Tell You This But Me: A true (as told to me) story by Bess Kalb Bess Kalb saved every voicemail from her grandmother Bobby Bell who died at ninety. In this book, Bobby is speaking to Bess once more, in a voice as loving as it ever was in life and brings us several generations of brave women. They include Bobby’s mother, who traveled alone from Belarus to America to survive, and Bess’s mother, who always fought against convention.1．Which book is about the author’s own story?A．To Kill a Mockingbird.B．When Breath Becomes Air.C．Don’t Shed Your Tears for Anyone Who Lives on These Streets.D．Nobody Will Tell You This But Me: A true (as told to me) story.2．Who is the main character in the last novel?A．Bobby Bell. B．Bess Kalb. C．Bess’s mother. D．Bobby’s mother.3．In which section of a newspaper can we read the text? A．Advertisement. B．Opinion. C．Lifestyle. D．Science.My wife and I were at a crowded grocery store not long ago. It was a weekday evening, cold and wet and tense. People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts. At one point, two women quarreled for several minutes in the freezer section.Things got worse at the checkout line. The cashier scanned a man's discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting on purpose and began to argue.Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who took him to customer service. Shaken, she moved to the next customer in line.We’ve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. My reaction when I see them is both personal and professional. I am a data analyst and sociologist who studies how and why people interact with one another--or why they choose not to. To me, the grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has disappeared. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith — starting with just one person.Therefore, my wife and I reached the disturbed cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. We learned her name was Beth.“We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.”I said.Beth’s face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items. She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left.That is the balancing act, the moment of countering social and emotional pain with healing, that will add up to restore trust across the United States.You can start that pattern in someone else's life , even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store.4．By describing the arguments, the author wants to show________.A．the job as a cashier is not easy. B．people in the U.S are unfriendly. C．arguments in public are very common. D．confidence in each other has worn off.5．How did Beth probably feel when the couple gave her a bottle of water? A．Sad and regretful. B．Sorry and embarrassed. C．Cheerful and rewarded. D．Grateful and relieved.6．What's author's attitude towards Americans' regaining trust? A．Doubtful. B．Optimistic. C．Uncaring D．Cautious 7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Miserable Cashier. B．A Helping Hand.C．Learning to Trust Again. D．Starting a new life.Dolphins are universally regarded as some of the cleverest creatures in the world. In captivity(圈养), they can be trained to complete complex tasks such as jumping through hoops and somersaulting through the air.But their intelligence doesn’t stop there. In a recent study of cetaceans(鲸目动物)—a group of animals that includes dolphins and whales—researchers created a list of intelligent behaviors observed in 90 different cetacean species, reported the Guardian. For example, the smartest cetaceans hunt in groups, share knowledge through mimicry(模仿) and even care for each other’s children. Some even consider their behavior to be human-like.“There is the saying that ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ seems to be true for both whales and humans,” Michael Muthukrishna of the London School of Economics, co-author of the study, told the Guardian.However, cetaceans don’t just use their brain power for survival. The study suggests that dolphins might even gossip. That’s because some species greet each other with specific whistles, just as humans greet each other by name, the Guardian reported. Sometimes, a group of dolphins whistles the “name” of a dolphin that isn’t there. Could they be speaking about their “friend” behindits back?For the researchers, dolphin small talk is a big deal. As they found that the most social cetaceans also have the largest brains, they argue that cetacean intelligence developed to meet the demands of complex social groups.Known as the “cultural brain hypothesis(假设),” it had only been used to explain the intelligence of humans and other primates(灵长目动物). The new study aimed to find a common pathway for the evolution of intelligence among biologically different species.“It is interesting to think that whale and human brains are different in their structure but have brought us to the same patterns in behavior,” Luke Rendell, a biologist at the University of St Andrews, told the Guardian.Indeed, we still have a lot to learn about our intelligent ocean-dwelling neighbors. “We don’t have to look at other planets to look for aliens,”Muthukrishna told the Guardian, “because we know that underwater there are these amazing species with so many parallels to us in their complex behaviors.”8．The possible meaning of the underlined word “gossip” in Para. 4 is ________. A．singing B．chatting C．greeting D．arguing 9．The recent study was intended to ________.A．learn more about intelligent creatures of the seaB．explain the intelligence of humans and cetaceansC．create a list of intelligent behaviors of different cetacean species D．see whether the intelligence of different species evolved in the same way 10．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．some cetaceans have the same intelligence as human beingsB．it is unnecessary to look for aliens and do research into themC．both dolphins and whales greet each other with specific whistlesD．both dolphins and whales have a lot in common with humans in behaviors 11．What is the best title for this passage?A．Aliens living underwaterB．A study of intelligent dolphinsC．Intelligent creatures of the seaD．Reasons for the intelligence of sea creaturesI’m rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car in sight, and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village?It was supposed to be right along this river. We drove on, farther into the unknown, river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms: Why didn’t we start earlier, bring the map and on and on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, text messaging a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think.Just then－WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared. Where did it come from?Right there, out of nowhere: a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purples, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk (黄昏). I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day.How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all.We miss a lot, almost everything, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters (过滤器) take care of that, selecting only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see, often for purposes of survival. Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty, said the judgment is selection of a fact. In our daily lives, who or what is doing the selecting? Can we make a change? Can we see further?12．Which of the following might be the destination of the author’s driving? A．A vacation spot. B．Her own home.C．A tourist centre. D．Her cousin’s farm.13．What made the author keep blaming herself in the beginning?A．That the vacation was below her expectations.B．That she wasn’t as good at using maps as before.C．That lack of full preparations got her to lose her way.D．That her cousin and daughter couldn’t get along.14．The author felt really amazed because _________.A．she discovered a tourist spot unknown to the publicB．her carelessness brought an unexpected pleasureC．she unintentionally reached what she had planned toD．the right route (路线) to her destination came out of nowhere15．What does the story intend to tell us?A．Stay cool when you are trapped in trouble.B．Make a change for the purpose of survival.C．Be positive because there's always an alternative (choice).D．Slow down your paces to enjoy beauty in life.二、七选五Tips for Upcoming Senior TwoThe upperclassmen often describe Senior Two in No.7 High as a year with “much more homework, more frequent exams and more fierce competitions”. 16●Manage your time carefully and make the most of it.Try to study not only hard but efficiently. Make a to-do-list for your time after school. Don’t just spend quite a long time on only one subject, especiallya science subject. 17 Remember to take breaks when you feel exhausted.●Treat competition in class in a right way.Competition cannot be avoided, but everyone wants to study and live in a friendly environment. Don’t treat your classmates as potential enemies. 18 By helping others solve problems, you inspire others, consolidate your own knowledge and gain lasting friendship.● 19Don’t let your former rankings limit you. What really matters is how you treat exams and rankings. Forget the class or grade rankings, but compete with yourself. In a while, you will see yourself climbing in scores and rankings.All in all, the coming new school year is sure to be full of challenges. Too much worry only adds to your difficulties in your development. 20 Wish you the best of luck in the new academic year in No.7 High!A．Treat yourself as the rival.B．Have a right attitude towards your rankings.C．However,rearrange your time table is of great importance.D．Instead,divide the hours into small periods for different subjects.E．So when they turn to you for help,just share your wisdom generously.F．If you keep my advice in mind,you will achieve a lot and lead a happy life.G．When you prepare for the upcoming challenges,some advice from me may be helpful.三、完形填空My parents operated a small restaurant in Seattle.

四川省成都市树德中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期末考试英语试题
四川省成都市树德中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期末考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me. 1．What made the author want to leave her hometown?A．Appeal of convenience in cities.B．Her dream of becoming a writer.C．Outside prejudice against southerners.D．Her desire for the northern accent.2．How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother?A．Upset.B．Pleased.C．Ashamed.D．Surprised. 3．Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent?A．To prove herself right.B．To help Emily be a reporter.C．To make herself influential.D．To protect Emily’s self-dignity. 4．What message does the text want to convey?A．Stay true to your roots.B．Never do things by halves.C．Hold on to your dreams.D．Never judge a person by his accent.When I win at my favourite games, my opponents tend to say: ‘OH, you’re so competitive!’ But when I lose, they smile good-naturedly and say: ‘Bad luck! Good game!’This suggests that accurate sporting expressions should go something like this:I am sporty.You are competitive.They can’t bear to lose.Or:I gave it a go.You did your best.He tried desperately hard.I’m not saying I don’t have a competitive personality. We all do. On walks, I like to be out in front. In traffic jams, I find myself focusing on cars in other lanes, and fret if they edge ahead of me. I tense up while waiting for trains, determined to be first aboard. The other day, I was one of the first to board a train, grabbing a perfect spot in first class. Yes, I had won! Just halfway, I went to get a free drink for a first-class seat from the buffet. But I had left my ticket on my table. I worked out that, if I moved very swiftly, I could nip (快走) through two carriages, and nip back without anyone taking my place at the front of the queue.So I rushed back, picking up my ticket, and turned back. I was at the beginning of the second carriage, when, to my horror, I noticed, another figure, roughly my size, shooting towards the buffet from the other direction.Desperate to arrive before he did, I started walking faster. But at exactly the samemoment, he started walking faster, too. Trying to retain my dignity, I broke into a running. Whatever happened, I was determined to win! But, annoyingly, at the same time as I sped up, so did he. The race was on.Finally, in my rush, I knocked into a suitcase and stumbled slightly. Still with my eyes on my challenger, I noticed that-strange but true-exactly the same thing had happened to him.It was only as we both lifted ourselves up in exactly the same way that I realised that, throughout the race, I had been looking at a reflection of myself in the sliding door!My competitor for first place in the buffet queue was...me.5．Which sporting expression can replace “Bad luck! Good game!” in paragraph 1?A．I gave it a go.B．You did your best.C．You are competitive.D．He tried desperately hard.6．What does the underlined word “fret” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Get anxious.B．Become relaxed.C．Feel disappointed.D．Remain excited. 7．What can we learn about the author?A．He never fails to beat anyone in his life.B．He has a gift for games and competitions.C．He is sporty but often aggressive to others.D．He is highly competitive and desperate to win.8．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A．Sad competitor? I can surely beat myselfB．Bad loser? No, but I can be a first-class foolC．Competitiveness works? Not in my caseD．More haste? It will only result in less speedStereotypes (刻板印象) are widely held but very general, simplified opinions about other people. Many of us start to use stereotypes at school — the cool kids or the hot kids — we know all the different ones by heart.Looks, clothes, personal traits (特征) and interests are all aspects which, on the surface of it, make us different from our contemporaries. Students pounce on these in order to categorise others. “When you’re a social animal, you need to understand who is a member of your pack, and who is a member of a different pack,” says psychology professor, John Dovidio.A girl dressed all in black may seem a bit depressed. But perhaps, deep down inside, she just likes black and is actually cheerful. She has the same interests as you — (the “cool kid”) — but she just dresses differently. The problem of typecasting is that it involves using labels which are merely shells (外表) containing assumptions. It makes one wonder why people see only a narrow view of a complicated human being.According to Dovidio, even if we think we don’t stereotype others, we do. “We categorise immediately and without thinking,” says Dovidio. “And we stereotype others not just on their appearance, how they dress or act, but — wrongly — on their race and sex too.”Student stereotypes may have special meanings, as teens are in the process of forming their own identity and figuring out who they feel most comfortable with. To some extent, stereotyping offers a sense of order, direction and connection to the close friends they make over time. But it’s too simple to make assumptions that “they” — teenagers in other groups — are alike or different from “us”. It’s easy to throw a group of people into a bucket (水桶) and judge them as a whole; it’s much more difficult to look at each person as an individual. On the other hand, Jim, another high school student, says “by labelling people we’re actually highlighting similarities not differences. If we didn’t stereotype, it would make many things today impossible. Think of marketing studies focused on specific audiences, or clubs for people with similar interests or hobbies.”9．Which can best replace the underlined part “pounce on” in paragraph two?A．Put up with.B．Make fun of.C．Take pride in.D．Catch hold of.10．What does the author want to suggest by mentioning the girl in black?A．Don’t distinguish yourself from others.B．Don’t make simple things complicated.C．Don’t identify others by their appearance.D．Don’t label others according to their personal traits.11．What do Dovidio’s words in paragraph four tell us?A．We cannot avoid being stereotyped.B．We may correctly recognise others’ sex.C．We cannot help the way we react to others.D．We may make wrong judgements about ourselves.12．Which word best describes Jim’s attitude to stereotypes?A．Positive.B．Uninterested.C．Uncertain.D．Critical.It was a method favoured by the inventor Thomas Edison and the artist Salvador Dali. Waking from a nap exactly at the point before deep sleep in an effort to inspire creativity.Edison held a metal ball in his hand so that if he nodded off he would drop it and the sound would wake him. For Dali, it was a key landing on a plate. Now scientists have found that they might have been onto something.Researchers at the Paris Brain Institute studied people’s ability to find a hidden rule in a maths puzzle. Identifying the trick would make solving the problem far simpler but to do so required thinking creatively. The scientists found that participants who had been woken just before falling into a deep sleep, using a technique like that used by Edison and Dali, were more likely to find the shortcut.This “twilight zone” is known as non-rapid eye movement sleep stage 1, or N1. Scientists described it like an exaggerated form of mind-wandering, where dream-like thoughts fill the mind. It is thought that as people start to disengage (脱离) from their environment they can “freely watch their minds wander, while maintaining their ability to identify creative sparks (火花)”.For the study 103 people were given a maths problem to solve. To reach the final answer they had to apply the rules step by step but, unknown to them, a “hidden rule” would allow them to bypass most of the steps and get to the solution much more quickly. The results showed that 83 percent of those in the N1 group had found the shortcut, compared with 31 percent in the group who were awake and 14 percent of those in a deep sleep.Researchers conclude that the brain activity common to the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness set off creative sparks. “Although the neural mechanisms (神经机制) involved are not yet known, our findings suggest that there is a creative sweet spot within the twilight zone,” said Dr Thomas Andrillon, co-author of the study.13．Why did the author mention “a metal ball” and “a key” in Paragraph 2?A．To clarify a method.B．To explain a theory.C．To present a concept.D．To make a comparison.14．What can we learn about “the twilight zone” from the text?A．It prevents your mind from wandering.B．It determines what your dreams will be like.C．It is known as rapid eye movement sleep stage.D．It is a state of being half asleep and half awake.15．What does “the shortcut” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．The maths problem.B．The final answer.C．The hidden rule.D．The added step.16．What attitude may Dr Thomas Andrillon hold to the technique used by Edison and Dali?A．Doubtful.B．Critical.C．Indifferent.D．Favorable.Across India, summers can be extreme. Temperatures outdoors can soar to 124°F (51℃), high enough to melt the surface of the streets.Millions of urban lower-income families live in tiny, one-room houses crammed together. Such shacks have tin and asbestos (石棉的) roofs. These materials absorb the sun’s heat, rather than reflect it back into the atmosphere. Additionally, only a few trees grow between the jam-packed houses. Making matters worse is the residents’ poverty. Most households cannot afford to run air conditioners and coolers. All these factors make the inside of these tiny houses extremely hot. Under such conditions, residents find it difficult to live, let alone work. Productivity declines.Social workers and scientists have realized that the quickest way to cool such houses is to change their roofs. That’s because the roof receives the most direct sunlight. Climate researchers came up with many strategies to produce cool roofs. One easy way was with paint. Light-colored surfaces reflect more heat than darker ones, so roofs painted white would be cooler than those painted in any other color. This wasn’t a new idea. In fact, Indians have traditionally whitewashed homes with chuna. The annual Monsoon rains, though, wash the chuna away. Climate experts hoped that the white paints would last longer. Research findings revealed that painting alone could bring down the heat by up to 9℃(5℃).Problems persist, though. While the paint is fairly cheap, poor people cannot afford it without financial help. In addition, the sunlight bouncing off white-topped roofs makes them too bright to look at. Residents usually use the roofs for drying wet clothes and vegetables, like chilies. But the glare from the whitened surfaces makes it tough for them to do these tasks. A third problem is that white-roofedbuildings reflect the sun’s rays throughout the year. Ironically, this makes roofs too cool in regions where winters get extremely cold. Andkeeping warm is costly, too.Despite these drawbacks, many households are supporters of cool roof initiatives. For most, the benefits of the roofs outweigh their flaws. Indeed, the white paint has given their lives a newlight.17．What is a factor contributing to Indian houses’ extreme heat?A．The building materials of the roofs.B．Residents’ lack of green awareness.C．The influence of the global economy.D．There being no trees in the community. 18．Why is white paint a good choice according to paragraph 3?A．It is effective.B．It is innovative.C．It is replaceable.D．It islong-lasting.19．What problem comes with white paint roofs?A．Their brightness will lead to color blindness.B．The paint will become too expensive to afford.C．It will be inconvenient to dry stuff on the roofs.D．Residents’ living cost will be higher in summer.20．What is the text mainly about?A．Light-colored paints.B．A house-cooling strategy.C．White-roofed buildings.D．An energy-saving initiative.二、七选五You may have seen them standing alone in a farmer’s field. With thin arms and a strange smile, they stand guard over the crops day and night. 21Scarecrows have been around since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians. Back then, farmers covered wooden frames with nets to protect wheat fields. 22 Around 2500 BCE, the Greeks made the first human-like scarecrows. They added a face which was similar to that of the Greek god Priapus. 23 The Romans later copied this design and brought it to Europe.Centuries after the Romans marched through Europe, people around the world were creating their own scarecrows. In Japan, scarecrows were shaped like people in raincoats and straw hats. In Germany, scarecrows were made to look like witches.24 In the oldest book of Japanese literature, The Kojiki, a scarecrow namedKuebiko appears. Though he can’t walk, Kuebiko is a kind of all-knowing god. In the mid-19th century, writer Nathaniel Hawthorne brought scarecrows into literature with the short story “Feathertop.” In this tale, a witch who prays to the Devil brings a scarecrow to life.Then there is the most famous scarecrow. His name is simply “Scarecrow,” and he appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the children’s novel, Scarecrow joins Dorothy, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion on an adventure to meet the wizard of the magical land of Oz.25Aside from these examples, scarecrows have featured in rock songs and as characters in comic books. On Halloween, they are brought out as scary decorations. Both practical and creepy, scarecrows continue to capture our imagination.A．Scarecrows appear everywhere in the world.B．We can never ignore the influence of stories about scarecrow.C．They are scarecrows, whose job has gone unchanged for thousands of years.D．They would hide in the wheat, and then jump out to scare birds into their nets.E．This was thought to be scary enough to keep birds away from their precious fields.F．Throughout the years, scarecrows have made many appearances in popular culture.G．Scarecrow has appeared in films and plays around the world since the release of the book.三、完形填空I was waiting in a checkout line.

四川成都树德中学高一下期末英语卷（带解析）_6
四川成都树德中学高一下期末英语卷（带解析）_6Bringing up children is hard work, and you are often to blame for any bad behavior of your children. If so, Judith Rich Harris has good news for you. Parents, she argues, have no important long -term effects on the development of the personality of their children. Far more important are their playground friends and neighborhood. Ms. Harris takes to hitting the assumption, which has dominated(支配) developmental psychology for almost half a century.Ms. Harris's attack on the developmental psychologists’ "nurture" argument looks likely to reinforce(加强） doubts that the profession was already having. If parents matter, why is it that two adopted children, brought up in the same home, are no more similar in personality than two adopted children brought up in separate homes? Or that a pair of identical twins, brought up in the same home, are no more alike than a pair of identical twins brought up in different homes?Difficult as it is to track the clear effects of parental upbringing, it may be harder to measure the exact influence of the peer(同龄人) group in childhood and adolescence. Ms. Harris points to how children from immigrant homes soon learn not to speak at school in the way their parents speak. But acquiring a language is surely a skill, rather than a characteristic of the sort developmental psychologists hunt for. Certainly it is different from growing up tensely or relaxed, or from learning to be honest or hard -working or generous. Easy though it may be to prove that parents have little impact on those qualities, it will be hardto prove that peers have vastly more.Moreover, mum and dad surely cannot be ignored completely. Young adults may, as Ms. Harris argues, be keen to appear like their peers. But even in those early years, parents have the power to open doors: they may choose the peers with whom their young associate, and pick that influential neighborhood. Moreover, most people suspect that they come to resemble their parents more in middle age. So the balance of influences is probably complicated. Even if it turns out that the genes they pass on and the friends their children play with matter as much as affection, discipline and good example, parents are not completely off the hook【小题1】According to Ms. Harris,______.A．parents are to blame for any bad behavior of their childrenB．children's personality is largely shaped by their friends and neighborsC．nature rather than nurture has a significant effect on children' s personality developmentD．parents will affect greatly the children's life in the long run【小题2】The developmental psychologists think .A．children are more influenced by their peersB．identical twins raised in the same home are different in personalityC．twins raised in two separate families are different in personalityD．upbringing has a less significant effect on children’s personality development【小题3】According to Paragraph 3, we know that .A．it is easier for children to gain a language at homeB．it is harder to follow the effects of parental upbringingC．immigrant children avoid speaking the same way as their parents at schoolD．it is proved that peers have a greater effect on children’s qualities【小题4】What does the author mean by saying parents are not completely off the look at the end of the passage？A．Parents should control the situation.B．Parents should give their way to children.C．Parents should spend more time on children.D．Parents should take on their responsibility.。
