ASometimes big ideas come in tiny packages. That’s true for Bryan Ware, the founder of the nonprofit organization The Crayon Initiative, which recycles the crayons children use at restaurants to give to children in need.Ware, who has a background in producing and packaging, went out to dinner with his family one night when he took notice of a box of crayons on the table. The restaurant provided them and his boys used them to color on the paper tablecloth. There was nothing unusual about either of the two things. But Ware thought something more. Ware knew that most of the crayons at restaurants would be thrown away after their first use because people worried that germs on them might cause disease. While the wax of a crayon is easy to clean and doesn’t hold many germs, the wrapping paper is a different story.So now Ware is trying to improve the situation. After speaking with a friend who works as a child life specialist at the University of San Francisco Medical Center, Ware decides to work with hospitals in the area to bring the crayons to their young patients. We know that child life specialists help sick children deal with the uncertainty of thei r conditions. They hold a child’s hand during medical treatment or provide food and clothing for his or her family members.So far, The Crayon Initiative has donated over 20,000 packs of crayons to 38 hospitals in 17 states, but it’s thepositive influence, not the number, that matters to Ware. Ware recently received a photo from a family whose daughter had unfortunately passed away. It was a picture of a plastic pencil box, and it was what the girl carried with her through her stay in hospital. Wherever she had to go, this was her little box of stuff to keep her happy. These kinds of stories make the effort all worthwhile for Ware.21. What can we infer from paragraph 2?A. Ware didn’t think restaurants should provide crayons.B. Used crayons with wrapping paper hold fewer germs.C. Restaurants usually provide crayons for kids free of charge.D. Ware’s idea about his organization came to him by accident.22. What do we know about child life specialists from the passage?A. They help doctors look for cures for diseases.B. They provide food and education for young patients.C. They bring comfort to kids fighting against illness.D. They need money to help poor kids pay hospital bills.23. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Ways of Achieving a Big DreamB. Recycling Crayons for a Good CauseC. A Successful Man and His Magical CrayonsD. Solutions to the Problem of Crayon PollutionBChina has taken new measures to boost new-energy vehicle (NEV) and home appliance consumption. On June 6, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Ecological Environment and the Ministry of Commerce jointly released a guideline. It aims to upgrade the country’s consumption and form a strong domestic market in 2020.According to the guideline, the cost of NEV production will be largely lowered and the research of a new generation of NEV batteries will be accelerated. Local governments are strictly banned from imposing any limit on the consumption and use of NEVs. Places where the limits exist should call them off. The guideline also encourages local governments to subsidize (补贴) the purchase of first NEVs of car-free families and reduce parking fees for NEVs. In this way, the move would help meet the demand for millions of vehicles in cities across the country, analysts say.Amid the flat market in China’s auto industry, “methods to boost consumption in the auto market are stillbeing rolled out in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai,” said Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the China Passenger Car Association.Some netizens held that the measures could be difficult to carry out in metropolises due to traffic pressure. Cui responded that “the traffic problems could be eased by upgrading the traffic management systems.” Cities like Beijing and Shanghai should address traffic problems in different areas based on their different levels of congestion (堵塞) through corresponding driving restrictions. The restrictions on NEVs could also be eased in somefar-reaching areas in the cities, he explained.China saw strong and healthy sales growth of NEVs in the first four months this year with 360, 000 NEVs sold, jumping by 59.8 percent from the same period a year earlier. The market could see a new round of increases under the efforts, according to industry experts.24.Where can we most probably read the passage?A. In a newspaper.B. In a car magazine.C. In a guideline book.D. In an advertisement.25.Why did they release the guideline?A. To increase home consumption.B. To boost overseas consumption.C. To occupy a powerful overseas market.D. To build up a powerful market home and abroad.26.Which measure is proper to boost consumption of NEVs?A. No parking fees are allowed for NEVs.B. The research of new NEV batteries will be sped up.C. Families can be subsidized when buying their first NEVs.D. Local governments have no right to monitor the use of NEVs.27.What does Cui Dongshu think of the measures?A. Useless.B. Successful.C. Practical.D. Creative.CScientists say they have used artificial intelligence (AI) to create music to represent the protein structure of the novel coronavirus.Researchers used machine-learning methods to make the music, which may help them better understand the virus. The research team assigned musical notes to amino acids (氨基酸) that make up the so-called “spiked(刺突)”protein that infects human cells. Machine learning was then used to turn the protein and structural information intoa nearly two-hour piece of classical music.Markus Buehler of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) led the research team. Buehler told the Reuters news agency that turning the protein data into music let people gain a better understanding of something they cannot see. “You would need many different images, many different magnifications (放大) to see with your eyes, while your ears can pick up with just a couple of seconds of music,” he said.The finished selection was uploaded to the music sharing website SoundCloud. Listeners of the early part of the piece described it with words such as “beautiful”, “interesting”, “calm” and “nature”. Buehler said this part of the music represents the ease at which the spiked protein enters the human cell, making the coronavirus highly infectious. He noted that the virus is very good at “tricking the cell to open the doors” to infect someone. As the virus then reproduces and the spiked protein attaches to more cells, the music becomes louder, faster and more intense. One SoundCloud user noted that this part could represent one of the first signs of the virus in humans, a high body temperature. Others described the more intense part of the music as “scary” and “sad”.The researchers say a possible next step could be to use the musical method to design an antibody to attack the virus.28.What does the underlined word “tricking” mean in paragraph 4?A. Cheating.B. Forcing.C. Stopping.D. Helping.29.How did Sound Cloud users feel about the second part of the music?A. Happy.B. Encouraged.C. Disappointed.D. Upset.30.What can we learn from the passage?A. Researchers composed the music on their own.B. Music may improve our understanding of the virus.C. Musical method has been applied to attack the virus.D. SoundCloud users had the same reaction to the whole music.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The price tag with an astronomical figure (天文数字) on it was still attached."Jane 2 this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She seldom wore it.

Global warming happens so fast that the farmers would have to move their plantations(种植园) every decade to survive, he added.The researchers said their prediction were "conservative" because they didn't take into consideration the widespread forest destruction taking place in the forests where the beans are grown, or other factors such as a drop in the number of birds which spread seeds. Even if the beans do not disappear pletely from the wild, climate change is highly likely to have a great effect on production and the taste of coffee beans in future decades, they added.26. According to the study, most part of Arabica-growing areas will be unsuitable for the plant within ________.A. about 3 decadesB. about 7 decadesC. about 10 decadesD. about 15 decades27. Arabica is native to ____________.A. VietnamB. the USAC. GreeceD. South Sudan28. We can infer from the passage that ____________.A. the majority of people drink coffee made by RobustaB. Robusta makes up half of the global coffee marketC. all fresh coffee is made by ArabicaD. Arabica is not high in caffeine29. Climate change may affect Arabica in the following ways EXCEPT ____________.A. the color of coffee beansB. its survivalC. its outputD. the taste of coffee beans30. In the last paragraph, the author suggests that __________.A. Arabica won't disappear pletely from the wildB. Arabica could die out later than the predictionC. Arabica could die out earlier than the predictionD. deforestation in the forests makes no difference to the growth of ArabicaBCan you think your way to wealth and success? Napoleon Hill believed that if you think the right thoughts you can. In 1937, after many years of researching financial success and observing people who had bee rich, he published the book Think and Grow Rich. Even though it was published in the middle of the Great Depression, it was immediately successful.It is one of the most popular non-fiction books ever written. Forbes says it has sold seventy million copies since it first appeared, and continues to sell copies today. Napoleon Hill wrote at least ten other books about success before his death in 1970. But none of them came close to selling as many copies as Think and Grow Rich.Smarter ics has released an illustrated version of the book. Franco Arda is the pany's founder and publisher. He used to work as an investment banker. He started the pany three years ago with his own money. He wanted to create picture books that increase understanding. His versions provide much of the information that is in full-length books but in a form easy to understand for teenagers.Franco Arda says readers will understand and remember more about gaining success if they read the ic(连环漫画) book style --- first, it's easier to read; second, it's also easier to remember. Because once you see something visually, your brain can absorb it much quicker and then you can keep it much longer." He first read the book when he was a teenager. He owes much of hisfinancial success to the book and it taught him to change the way he thinks about money and success.Franco Arda says Napoleon Hill found that you must write down what you want to achieve, how and when you want to achieve it and what you are willing to sacrifice for it.Napoleon Hill said you must read that statement out loud every morning when you wake up and every evening before you go to sleep.He also says the book proves that wealth is a lifelong pursuit achieved by believing in the value of personal ideas. It says anyone can achieve their dreams by refusing to be stopped by temporary problems.31. What is the book published by Franco Arda mainly featured?A. it has more nice pictures than theories.B. It tells readers to write down what they read.C. It is easier for us to read and remember the content.D. It requires readers to read the book loud every morning.32. How has Napoleon Hill's book influenced Franco Arda?A. He has gained many different opinions about life.B. He has formed a habit of sacrificing something for his dream.C. He has refused to be stopped by temporary problems.D. He has had a good attitude towards money and success.33. Franco Arda's newly published book is mainly intended for ________.A. womenB. teenagersC. adultsD. businessmen34. From the passage, we can conclude that the book Think and Grow Rich _________.A. is the most popular book since it was publishedB. has guided so many people how they can be popularC. has inspired so many people to achieve fame and fortuneD. bees more popular nowadays than when it was published35. What is the purpose of the author's writing this passage?A. To report the sale of Napoleon Hill's book.B. To introduce the present economic situation.C. To advertise Franco Arda's newly published book.D. To introduce the influence of Napoleon Hill's book.CAre you sick of travelling back and forth between airports? Exhausted by the search for airport parking? Tired of trying to find ground transportation at your destination? A flying car may be just what you need.While the concept of flying cars has been around for decades, the cars themselves have never really caught on. Now, the Massachusetts-based pany Terrafugia is changing that.The pany recently received attention from around the world with the introduction of the Transition. A true hybrid (混合物), the Transition bines the abilities of an automobile with those of a small aircraft. However, the Transition doesn't require users to drive an airplane down the street. Instead, it can be transformed from aircraft to road mode in less than 30 seconds. By entering a PIN number, pilots can make the wings fold against the sides of the vehicle. Power then moves from the propeller (螺旋桨) to the front wheels. Drivers who wish to fly simply contrarily conduct the process before taking off.One look at the Transition tells you that it really is an airplane. In fact, Terrafugia doesn't call the Transition a "flying car" at all. Instead, the pany uses the term "roadable aircraft". Like other airplanes, the Transition has wings, a tail and a propeller. It is powered by an aircraft engine and has a parachute (降落伞). More importantly, you need a pilot's license to fly it. Still, it is also a car. Like other cars, it has a steering wheel (方向盘), four wheels and crash protection. It runs on normal auto gasoline, and you can't drive it unless you have a driver's license.With an expected price of $194, 000 and seating limited to two, the Transition won't replace airlines or family cars in a short term. But it does provide a whole new range of travel choices.Transition drivers will no longer be limited to land. Moreover, if the weather prevents a flight, Transition pilots can always just drive on the road.36. What's the author's purpose in raising questions in the first paragraph?A. To remind readers to avoid travelling by air.B. To blame the service of certain airports.C. To draw readers' attention to the topic.D. To pare airplanes and cars.37. The underlined phrase "caught on" in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by “_______”.A. bee popularB. sold wellC. got usefulD. taken off38. By using the term "roadable aircraft" instead of "flying car", Terrafugia stresses the Transition _______.A. is more suitable for the roadB. is more fortable than carsC. has nothing to do with carsD. is more similar to an airplane39. From the passage, we know that _________.A. Terrafugia is the first pany focusing on flying carsB. a usual car driver needs a pilot's license to fly the TransitionC. the Transition is safer than usual cars because of its crash protectionD. at present, no airlines or families are willing to buy the Transition40. If this passage came from a newspaper, in which column should it be?A. Education.B. Entertainment.C. Technology.D. Business.DPopcorn (爆米花) machines have been around for more than 4,000 years. When an ancient culture in New Mexico discovered that a certain type of corn would "pop" when it was heated, they immediately designed the world's earliest version of the popcorn machine. They would heat fine sand in the fire and add the kernels (谷粒) into the sand to make them pop.Other cultures of the time made a game of popping popcorn. They would heat stones on the fire as hot as they could and pour the seeds onto it. The people of the village would then gather around the stones and catch the grains as they popped and flew into the air.Eventually, the snack quickly became an important part of several cultures. Many 4th century Mexican cultures would include popcorn kernels inside their tombs as an offering to the spirits in order to obtain a secure passage to the next life. Native American tribes that appeared years later believed that spirits lived inside the kernels. They thought that the kernels popped when the extreme heat anger the spirits.In 1885, Charles Cretors designed and created the first modem popcorn machines in Chicago, Illinois. Mr. Cretors owned a sweet shop and had purchased a peanut roasting machine that didn't work as well as it should have. He soon improved the machine and began selling his products in and around the area via travelling salesmen as well as through his store. Eight years later, he attended the Chicago Columbian Exposition with his new machine and history was born.Popcorn machines experienced widespread growth during the 1900s.

Reading Comprehension (22%)(A)Marlon Brando is widely considered the greatest movie actor of all time. He was born in Omaha Nebraska in 1924. He was named after his father, a salesman. His mother, Dorothy, was an actress in the local theater.Marlon Brando moved to New York City when he was 19 years old in 1943. He took acting classes at the New School for Social Research. One of his teachers was Stella Adler, who taught the "Method" style of realistic acting. The Method teaches actors how to use their own memories and emotions to identify with the characters they are playing.Marlon Brando learned the Method style quickly and easily. Critics said he was probably the greatest Method actor ever. One famous actress commented on his natural ability for it. She said teaching Marlon Brando the Method was like sending a tiger to jungle school.Marion Brando appeared in several plays. He got his first major part in a Broadway playin 1947, at the age of 23. He received great praise for his powerful performance at Stanley Kowalski in Tennessee William s’ play, A Streetcar Named Desire. His fame grew when he acted the same part in the movie version, released in 1951.Marlon Brando won the Best Actor Oscar for The God Father, but he rejected it. He sent a woman named Sasheen Littlefeather to speak for him at the Academy Awards ceremony. She said that Brando could not accept the award because of the way the American film industry treated Native Americans. The people at the Academy Awards ceremony did not like the speech. But some experts think the action helped change the way American Indians were shown in movies.Marlon Brando acted in about forty movies. He was nominated for a total of eight Academy Awards. But he earned a “bad boy” reputation for his public outbursts and unusual behaviours. According to Los Angeles magazine, “Brando was rock and roll before anybody knew what rock and roll was”. His later life was marked with fami ly tragedies. His son Christian went to prison for killing his daughter Cheyene’s boyfriend. Cheyene later committed suicide. Brando became lonely. He worked occasionally for the money. But, in his prime, Marlon Brando was an actor other actors could only hope to become.61. According to the passage, the "Method" _______.A. requires actors to use their imagination in actingB. made Marlon Brando a great and famous actorC. wasn’t very difficult for Marlon BrandoD. can be most effectively learned in a jungle62.

It will be the first time that card payments have outstripped cash outlay for goods and services. There are 246 plastic card transactions made every second. Total plastic card use is expected to exceed £269 billion in 2014, just a whisker ahead of the predicted £268 billion for cash payments, said banking industry body the Association for Payment Clearing Services.The group, which represents the major banks, said credit cards had become “demonized”（魔鬼化）as one of the main causes of ballooning debts, but added: “Without plastic, our society would virtually stop .”Last year, the number of plastic cards in use in China grew by 13 million, or 9%, to 160million—the equivalent of 3.5 cards per adult. Two-thirds of card transactions are now made using debit cards. Plastic accou nted for £244 billion of spending in 2013. “This year, total plastic card use, if business card usage is included, is expected to top £269 billion. In 2015 it is expected that personal plastic card usage alone will overtake cash payments,” said Chen. In terms of numbers of transactions, cash will remain much bigger than plastic for some time to come，it added. Cash will always remain there for low-value payments.”Meanwhile, 2013 was the year that e-commerce “came of age” in the China. More than 18 million people bought goods or services online, up 50% in 2012. Credit cards accounted for 69% of the 200 million transactions, with debit cards mopping up most of the remainder.Last year was a landmark year for another reason一the first reduction in card fraud for eight years. Fraud losses on plastic cards fell by 5% to £402 million as measures to combat crooks started to take effect.A new generation of cards containing computer chips is being introduced, and by the end of this year most people making face-to-face purchases will have to type their four-digit Pin number into keypads at tills and will no longer have to sign receipts.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS)68.

福建省三明市2019-2020学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题一、阅读选择1. Sometimes big ideas come in tiny packages． That's true for Bryan Ware, the founder of the nonprofit organization The Crayon Initiative, which recycles the crayons children use at restaurants to give to children in need．Ware, who has a background in producing and packaging, went out to dinner with his family one night when he took notice of a box of crayons on the table． The restaurant provided them and his boys used them to color on the paper tablecloth． There was nothing unusual about either of the two things． But Ware thought something more． Ware knew that most of the crayons at restaurants would be thrown away after their first use because people worried that germs on them might cause disease． While the wax of a crayon is easyto clean and doesn't hold many germs, the wrapping paper is a different story．So now Ware is trying to improve the situation． After speaking with a friend who worksas a child life specialist at the University of San Francisco Medical Center, Ware decides to work with hospitals in the area to bring the crayons to their young patients． We know that child life specialists help sick children deal with the uncertainty of their conditions． They hold a child's hand during medical treatment or provide food and clothing for his or her family members．So far, The Crayon Initiative has donated over 20, 000 packs of crayons to 38 hospitals in17 states, but it's the positive influence, not the number, that matters to Ware． Ware recently received a photo from a family whose daughter had unfortunately passed away． It was a picture of a plastic pencil box, and it was what the girl carried with her through her stay in hospital． Wherever she had to go, this was her little box of stuff to keep her happy． These kinds of stories make the effort all worthwhile for Ware．（1）What can we infer from paragraph 2？________A Ware didn't think restaurants should provide crayons．B Used crayons with wrapping paper hold fewer germs．C Restaurants usually provide crayons for kids free of charge．D Ware's idea about his organization came to him by accident．．（2）What do we know about child life specialists from the passage？________A They help doctors look for cures for diseases．B They provide food and educationfor young patients． C They bring comfort to kids fighting against illness． D They need money to help poor kids pay hospital bills．．（3）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？________A Ways of Achieving a Big DreamB Recycling Crayons for a Good CauseC A Successful Man and His Magical CrayonsD Solutions to the Problem of Crayon Pollution．2. China has taken new measures to boost new-energy vehicle (NEV) and home appliance consumption. On June 6, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Ecological Environment and the Ministry of Commerce jointly released a guideline. It aims to upgrade the country’s consumption and form a strong domestic market in 2020.According to the guideline, the cost of NEV production will be largely lowered and theresearch of a new generation of NEV batteries will be accelerated. Local governments are strictly banned from imposing any limit on the consumption and use of NEVs. Places where the limits exist should call them off. The guideline also encourages local governments to subsidize (补贴) the purchase of first NEVs of car-free families and reduce parking fees for NEVs. In this way, the move would help meet the demand for millions of vehicles in cities across the country, analysts say.Amid the flat market in China’s auto industry, “methods to boost consumption in the auto market are still being rolled out in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai,” said C ui Dongshu, secretary-general of the China Passenger Car Association.Some netizens held that the measures could be difficult to carry out in metropolises due to traffic pressure. Cui responded that “the traffic problems could be eased by upgrading the traffic management systems.” Cities like Beijing and Shanghai should address traffic problems in different areas based on their different levels of congestion (堵塞) through corresponding driving restrictions. The restrictions on NEVs could also be eased in some far-reaching areas in the cities, he explained.China saw strong and healthy sales growth of NEVs in the first four months this year with 360, 000 NEVs sold, jumping by 59.8 percent from the same period a year earlier. The market could see a new round of increases under the efforts, according to industry experts.（1）Where can we most probably read the passage?A In a newspaper.B In a car magazine.C In a guideline book.D In an advertisement.（2）Why did they release the guideline?A To increase home consumption.B To boost overseas consumption.C To occupy a powerful overseas market.D To build up a powerful market home and abroad.（3）Which measure is proper to boost consumption of NEVs?A No parking fees are allowed for NEVs.B The research of new NEV batteries will be sped up.C Families can be subsidized when buying their first NEVs.D Local governments have no right to monitor the use of NEVs.（4）What does Cui Dongshu think of the measures?A Useless.B Successful.C Practical.D Creative.3. Scientists say they have used artificial intelligence （AI） to create music to represent the protein structure of the novel coronavirus．Researchers used machine﹣learning methods to make the music, which may help them better understand the virus． The research team assigned musical notes to amino acids （氨基酸） that make up the so﹣called "spiked（刺突）" protein that infects human cells． Machine learning was then used to turn the protein and structural information into a nearly two﹣hour piece of classical music．Markus Buehler of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT） led the research team． Buehler told the Reuters news agency that turning the protein data into music let people gain a better understanding of something they cannot see． "You would need many different images, many different magnifications （放大） to see with your eyes, while yourears can pick up with just a couple of seconds of music, " he said．The finished selection was uploaded to the music sharing website SoundCloud． Listeners of the early part of the piece described it with words such as"beautiful", "interesting", "calm" and "nature"． Buehler said this part of the music represents the ease at which the spiked protein enters the human cell, making the coronavirus highly infectious． He noted that the virus is very good at "________ the cell to open the doors" to infect someone． As the virus then reproduces and the spiked protein attaches to more cells, the music becomes louder, faster and more intense． One SoundCloud user noted that this part could represent one of the first signs of the virus in humans, a high body temperature． Others described the more intense part of the music as "scary" and "sad"．The researchers say a possible next step could be to use the musical method to design an antibody to attack the virus．（1）What does the underlined word "tricking" mean in paragraph 4？________A Cheating．B Forcing．C Stopping．D Helping．．（2）How did Sound Cloud users feel about the second part of the music？________A Happy．B Encouraged．C Disappointed．D Upset．．（3）What can we learn from the passage？________A Researchers composed the music on their own．B Music may improve our understanding of the virus．C Musical method has been applied to attack the virus．D SoundCloud users had the same reaction to the whole music．二、七选五4.
