Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you aregoing to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entiretrip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink. Chris, 64, said, “It was a wonderful experience, particularly wonderful because of the amazing people we met along the way.”4.What’s the couple’s purpose of taking the long journey?A.To try something new.B.To break the world record.C.

The kindness from other cyclists.CHundreds of thousands of lives were saved in 2017 alone because of the improvement of the environment, according to a new research. Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

江苏省盐城市阜宁县2022-2023学年高一上学期2月期末英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Exercising regularly not only helps you keep slim,but also improves your overall health and well-being.Different exercises produce different results,as they focus on alternate parts of the body.There are four broad exercise categories:endurance,strength,flexibility,and balance.Many people often only focus on one exercise type,but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury.EnduranceEndurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate.By doing endurance exercises,you are working to keep your heart,lungs,and blood-flow system healthy while improving your total fitness.Over time these activities will make everyday activities seem easier.StrengthIf you want to build up your muscles,then strength exercises,which are also known as "resistance training",are right for you.Even the slightest increase in strength can make a huge difference in your ability to carry out daily tasks.Developing strong muscles also reduces your risk of weak bones.FlexibilityFlexibility exercises help stretch your body's muscles.This allows for more freedom of movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion,posture,ability to breathe deeply,and blood flow.Also,it reduces the muscle tension caused by stress. BalanceBalance exercises help prevent falls and are especially important to older adults,helping them stay independent.Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with your feet on the ground.Heel-to-toe walking and standing on one foot are simple ways to improve balance.1．How can a person benefit most from their exercise routine?A．By combining different exercise types together.B．By having sufficient rest between their workoutsC．By concentrating on one training aspect at a time.D．By increasing the frequency of their training gradually.2．Which exercise types are most useful to improve a person's breathing function? A．Strength and Balance.B．Flexibility and Balance. C．Endurance and Strength.D．Endurance and Flexibility. 3．Which part of the body plays the most important role in balance-related exercises? A．Arms.B．Legs.C．Waist.D．Neck.Motion picture,also called film or movie,series of sill photographs on film,projected in rapid succession onto a screen by means of light.This new art form became one of the most popular and influential media of the20th century and beyond.In early twentieth-century France,a new form of entertainment was becoming a hit—motion pictures.People crowded into theatres for short,silent,black-and-white films that showed everyday happenings,such as a train pulling into a station.These images were dimly projected onto white ually, there was no sound.Occasionally,men at pianos played music to match the scenes.Later,with the introduction of colour and sound,the silent film soon disappeared.Colour and sound introduced a new world into the cinema and steadily grew more effective.It can be used to produce a powerful dramatic impression.Moving images at theatres are now no longer novel,but back at the beginning of the art form,surprises lurked around every corner. During the initial showings of basic silent movies,some people in the audience screamed in fear,reacting to what they saw as if it were happening in real life.Moviegoers were known to even leap out of their seats due to the trains on the screen.At that time,few people understood what motion pictures were,so audience members could easily be fooled.Today,people crowd into theatres for the latest3D movies.Even older movies,such as the popular Star Wars series,are being re-released in3D．Moviemakers are excited about the ability to involve the audience more directly in the story or film.In addition,theatres invest tens of thousands of dollars on high-quality audio systems so that everything from the safest whispers to the largest explosions sounds clear and realistic.Sound,dialogue,and music are used in combination not only with one another but also with the visual image.They can overlap and vary in intensity in a flexible and complex pattern with those high-quality audio systems.What will movies be like100years from now?Will audience be able to smell scents inthe films,taste the food that characters are eating,or even become part of the stories themselves?Only time will tell.4．What can we know about the motion pictures in early20th century France? A．They were in color.B．They were the main form of entertainment.C．They greatly appealed to people then.D．They often had background music.5．Why did the moviegoers leap out of their seats?A．Because the movies were too scary.B．Because they didn't see trains in real life.C．Because the old theaters were too crowded.D．Because audiences were unfamiliar with the movies.6．Why do theatres spend a lot on high-quality audio systems?A．To re-release more old movies.B．To develop movie-making technologies.C．To improve movie-goers'experience.D．To make the explosions safe.7．What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To explain how realistic movies are today.B．To tell something about future movie plans.C．To introduce the history of movie technology.D．To compare movie theatres over the last century.How long you live has a lot to do with your environment and lifestyle,but exceptional long life may have even more to do with your genes.For the first time,researchers have discovered a genetic recipe(基因谱)that accurately predicts who live on100and beyond.Analysis shows that90%of the participants who lived to100had at least one of the signature genetic clusters(标志基因组).Thomas Perls at the Boston University School of Medicine said,“We realize this is a complex genetic puzzle.There is a long way for us to try to understand how the combination of these genes with lifestyle factors is playing a role in this long life puzzle.”Perls has studied many factors that contribute to long life,and he is the first toacknowledge that living longer isn’t likely to be simply a matter of genes.His previous work has shown,for example,that among most elderly people who live into their70s and80s, about70%can owe their long lift to lifestyle factors such as not smoking,eating a healthy, low-fat,low-calorie diet,and remaining socially engaged and mentally active throughout life.It seems clear that those who live extremely long are benefiting from a special DNA．In fact,Perls believes that the older a person gets,the more likely it is that his or her genes are contributing to those extended years.8．Perls may most likely agree that___________.A．living longer just depends on certain genetic recipesB．lifestyle factors play an important role in long-livingC．most people living extremely long benefit from not smokingD．being mentally active has nothing to do with living an old age9．Which of the following is FALSE according to the text?A．Remaining socially engaged helps a person to live long.B．If you want to live to100,you must have the right genes.C．A genetic recipe can predict who may live to100and beyond.D．Perls is the first to think living longer is just a matter of genes.10．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．The Secret of Long Life B．Lifestyle And GenesC．Genes decide your lifespan D．Environment And Genes11．In which section of a newspaper can you most probably find this passage? A．Health&Diet.B．Entertainment&Economics. C．Medicine&Science.D．Culture&Custom.SANTA MONICA,Calif．(KABC)—A Santa Monica High School teacher who was put on leave after using physical force to control a student who was selling marijuana(大麻)in his classroom has received surprising support on Facebook．The incident was captured on video and has caused a sudden reaction from parents,teachers,students and even graduates．They are showing their support for Black．A Facebook page supporting“Coach Black”has over 4,700likes．And many want him back in the classroom．Student witnesses say Mark Black,who is also the wrestling coach,tried to confiscate(没收)a bag of marijuana and was then injured by the student with a pencil．The14．From the passage,we can infer that＿＿＿．A．the people involved in the matter support Mark Black B．Mark Black will be eventually fired by the School Board C．Sandra Lyon won some support from parents initially D．no decision has been made from the investigation yet 15．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

2023-2024学年江苏省盐城市亭湖高级中学高一上学期期末英语试题
2023-2024学年江苏省盐城市亭湖高级中学高一上学期期末英语试题If you’re feeling in the mood for grilled food but don’t have a barbecue, then deciding what product to purchase can be a bit difficult. So to help you get a better understanding of just some of the choices available, here’s our guide to buying a new BBQ.Charcoal vs GasThe first decision is how your BBQ is going to be powered. There are essentially two main choices: the traditional way with charcoal, or the quick and convenient way with gas. For those who get frustrated with the process of lighting coals and waiting for them to reach the desired temperature, then gas is the easy option. It’s clean and gets up to temperature in an instant. But for man y, the main fun of a barbecue lies in the back-to-basics cooking that hot coal brings natural barbecue fire. You’ll also find a far greater range of charcoal barbecues.SizeFor anyone who likes to throw a garden party with a busy barbecue at the centre of the action, there are some vast grills (烤架) available. But unless you’re regularly feeding the masses, then these BBQ beasts can be impractical. Smaller meals are better suited to smaller equipment, so be realistic about the size that best suits you.Open grill or lidWhile facing the barbecue selection of your nearest retailer, you’ll notice that some of them have lids. These will usually be round and will make you pay more than the lidless options. But if you want the benefit of being able to cook larger items over a longer period of time, such as a whole chicken, then a lid will be essential.1. Which BBQ is suitable for Jack, who likes back-to-basics cooking and often invites friends to the garden party?A．Gas barbecue in small size. B．Gas barbecue in big size.C．Charcoal barbecue with big grills. D．Charcoal barbecue with small grills.2. What is the difference between the open grill and the one with a lid?A．The open grill costs more. B．The open grill looks superior.C．The open grill is more reliable. D．The open grill is less suitable for largeritems.3. Which column of the magazine is the passage most likely selected from?A．Lifestyle. B．Business. C．Culture. D．Sports. Another person’s enthusiasm — the strong wish and interest to do everything, was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fe llow who is well known for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.”My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right into my eyes. Then she look ed at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart, my family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county centre, where my father’s caree r could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary. My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.4. What’s the following is right before the author’s stepmother came into his life?A．People had noticed his cleverness.B．His father had been away from home for a long time.C．He knew how to show his enthusiasm properly.D．He was considered a rude boy with wild behaviors.5. Which of the fol lowing expressions about the author’s stepmother is NOT right?A．She praised him from the bottom of her heart.B．She gave some writing lessons to him at home.C．She moved the family into the centre of the county.D．She planned the future for each family member.6. What does the author mean by “I wasn’t the only beneficiary”?A．There were other boys who behaved as badly as he did.B．His stepmother bought typewriters for other family members, too.C．Not only he but also his family gained from his stepmother’s enthusiasm.D．Other family members’ enthusiasm has great effects on his stepmother.7. Which of the following is best the title of the passage?A．Enthusiasm, a Power for Success B．Enthusiasm, a Challenge for AllC．Enthusiasm, a Gift from my Father D．Enthusiasm, a Tradition in FamiliesArt may not be a uniquely human patent. Apes (猿), monkeys, elephants, dolphins and even rabbits can be encouraged to express themselves via pencil and paper.New research on the artistic efforts of apes suggests that their work varies according to changes in the world around them. The new study, published in the journal Animals, focuses on hundreds of drawings produced by five female apes at Japan’s Tama Zoological Park, where keepers provided them with crayons and paper over many years as part of a behavioural enrichment programme. One of the apes, named Molly, was especially productive. She only started drawing on her 54th birthday, but from that point on, until her death five years later, she produced about 1,300 pictures. She drew almost every day, creating more complex pictures than her companions. “I don’t know if we can describe her as a genius,” says Sueur, a biologist in the park. “Such differences are often observed between individuals of a species, wi th some smarter than others.” Sueur and his colleagues identified individual differences between the apes’ artistic styles, in terms of their preferred colors, the types of shapes they drew and the space they filled on the paper. Only Molly routinely filled most of the space available.Molly’s style changed with the season too. In summer and winter, greens dominated her pictures, but she switched to pinks and purples in spring and autumn. Appealingly, she opted for red whenever another female in the group was giving birth, which may indicate that her paintings are something more than purely abstract.“We’ve tried not to overinterpret,” says Sueur. “It could be earlier representational art.” The biologists suggest that apes may provide clues to the development of artistic skills in humans. Like children, and unlike other species known to put pen to paper, the apes needed no reward to participate in the task, suggesting that they enjoy it for its own interest.8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．Female animals are talented at the creation of art.B．The artistic style of animals remains unchanged.C．Some animals can develop artistic skills like humans.D．Animals are capable of creating masterpieces through efforts.9. How does Sueur think about Molly?A．Talented. B．Human-like. C．Open-minded. D．Competitive. 10. What might be the influence of the research?A．Help people know better about apes.B．Gain a new perspective of the evolution of art.C．Better protect the friends of humans-animals.D．Appeal to humans to learn from apes.11. What can be concluded from apes’ acquiring artistic skills?A．Work hard, play hard. B．Well begun is half done.C．Look before you leap. D．Interest is the best teacher.Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed new artificial intelligence (AI) software to recognize and follow up the faces of individual chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in the wild. The new software will allow researcher and wildlife conservationists to greatly cut back on time spent analyzing videos, according to the new paper published today in Science Advances.“For species like chimpanzees, which have complex social lives and live for many years, getting photos of their behavior from short-term field research can only tell us so much.” says Dan Sehofield, researcher and DPhil student at Oxford University’s Primate Models Lab, School of Anthropology. “By taking advantage of the power of machine learning to unlock large video files, it makes it possible to measure behavior over the long term.”The computers model was trained using over 10 million images (影像) from Kyoto University’s Primate Research Institute (PRI) video files of wild chimpanzees in Guinea, West Africa. The new software is the first to continuously track and recognize individuals in a wide range of posed, performing with high accuracy in difficult conditions such as low lighting and poor image quality.“Access to this large video file has allowed us to use the newest deep neural networks to train models at a scale that was previously not possible,” says Arsha Nagrani, co-author of the study and DPhil student at the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford. “Additionally, our new software differs from previous primate face recognition software in that it can be applied to raw videos with limited manual intervention (人工干预) or pre-processing, saving hours of time.”The technology has potential for many uses, such as monitoring species for conservation. Although the present application focused on chimpanzees, the software provided could be applied to other species, and help drive the adoption of AI systems to solve a range of problems in the wildlife sciences.12. What’s the purpose of developing the new software?A．To save wildlife researchers’ time spent in the wild.B．To k eep track of wildlife conservationists’ behavior.C．To protect chimpanzees and help them to live longer.D．To recognize and track the faces of wild chimpanzees.13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Getting photos. B．Analyzing videos.C．The new AI software. D．A powerful machine.14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The unique advantages of the new software.B．Some limitations of using the new software.C．The working principles of the new software.D．Controversial attitudes to the new software.15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．The new software has a quite bright future.B．The application of the technology can be tough.C．Technology is the final goal of scientific research.D．AI systems are widely used in the wildlife sciences.Failure is likely the most tiring experience one ever has. There is nothing more exhausting than not succeeding. 16In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. 17Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them alphabetically, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the most difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works.18 Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can then let the unconsciousness (无意识) take over.When planning Encyclopedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Day after day, I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. 19 One day, mentally exhausted, I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. 20 In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.Paul Calderbank was homeless and was in need of help. It could have been so easy for him to take all the money from a ________ he had found. He, however, decided to do the right thing because his honesty of doing the right thing was far more important than ________. But Paul didn’t just go out of his way to ________ the wallet to the police. He made sure it ended up in the right ________—its owner, Daisy Owen.After a fun night out with fri ends, Daisy couldn’t find her wallet. She did everything she could think of and finally ________, thinking someone had likely found it and stolen its ________.

The friend________ message Daisy. “I am so happy and ________ him. He is now living: in a hostel (临时收容所), yet took no money out of it,” said Daisy. But then she read the ________ Paul put in the wallet about wanting to do the right thing. All of a sudden Daisy knew what she ________ to do in return. She started a Go-Fund-Me page explaining that Paul found her lost wallet and his current________ situation. She was determined to put a roof over his head. She was hoping to ________ $1,500. To her great surprise, she received over $5,000 to help Paul get a(n) ________.It’s easy to imagine the worst of people. But each one of us can make a difference, just like Paul did, by displaying ________ in us.21.A．bin B．wallet C．bowl D．car22.A．hiding B．sharing C．tricking D．stealing23.A．hand in B．pull out C．pick up D．leave behind24.A．forms B．arms C．hands D．conditions25.A．cheered up B．gave up C．slowed down D．backed down26.A．photos B．tickets C．materials D．contents27.A．plans B．efforts C．feelings D．characters28.A．immediately B．suddenly C．unhurriedly D．continuously 29.A．believe B．remember C．thank D．understand30.A．bill B．note C．invitation D．proposal31.A．agreed B．promised C．happened D．needed32.A．homeless B．awkward C．unusual D．surprising33.A．borrow B．donate C．make D．raise34.A．page B．account C．flat D．job35.A．kindness B．courage C．pride D．strength阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Every year, a great many holiday makers go out for sightseeing and relaxation. While they are enjoying themselves, some of them behave rudely, which causes a big concern. How to be a civilized tourist has become a heated topic.In my opinion, it is necessary to watch our manners. First, we must respect and follow local customs. Besides, we’d better not talk loudly in public places to avoid disturbance to others. Also, be aware that queue jumping is unacceptable in many countries.More importantly, if we travel abroad, we should bear in mind that we are representing our country, so we need to be cautious about how we act. Only in this way can we enjoy our trips and have beautiful memories as well.Yours trulyLi Hua附：听力录音原文Text1W:Home at last. The basketball game finished too late.
