2020年浙江省七彩阳光新高考联盟联考高一(下)期中英语试卷
期中英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）ADo you really care who wins Oscars？On February 24 this year，the Academy Awards were presented to actors，actresses，directors，musicians and many other people．Usually they are the "best" and we，the audience，are persuaded that this is true．This year，the nominations （提名）for Best Picture include Black Panther，Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book．According to many people，these are great movies，as are the performers who bring the stories to life．Whoever wins the award for Best Actor or Best Actress will undoubtedly become a Hollywood star．However，Leonardo had never won an Oscar before 2016，but that doesn't mean that his films aren't amazing．I only need to mention Titanic and The Wolf of Wall Street and you can clearly see that he is an excellent actor．And of course，let's not forget Romeo and Juliet．I'm afraid someone may wrongly apprehend my meaning．I am not saying that those who win Academy Awards are not talented people．They most certainly are talented．What I mean is that I don't think we should judge films and actors by how many awards they have．After all，at this year's Golden Globe Awards，Ricky Gervais compared the prizes to a doorstop and told the nominees to remember that no one cared about that award as much as they did．So let's not judge an actor or actress just based on what critics （评论家）say．If you want to know how good an actor or actress really is，go and watch the film he or she stars in．1.Why is Leonardo mentioned in the passage？______A. He is one of the writer's favorite film actors．B. He is one of the actors who starred in many films．C. He is the leading actor in many award-winning films．D. He is a good actor who didn't win an Oscar until 2016．2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "apprehend" in Paragraph 4？______A. Express．B. Understand．C. Change．D. Show．3.In the author's opinion，what is the best way to judge an actor？______A. To see if he has won an Oscar．B. To read what critics say．C. To judge him by watching his acting．D. To see how many awards he has won．BChopsticks, or Kuaizi in Chinese, are used to eat Asian food. The earliest evidence of a pair of chopsticks made of bronze was found in the Ruins of Yin near Anyang, Henan Province, dating back to about 1, 200 B. C..Chopsticks are round on the eating end which stands for heaven, and the other end is square which stands for earth. This is because keeping enough food supply is the greatest concern between heaven and earth in Chinese culture.There is no single standard for the use of chopsticks, but better keep some rules in mind while eating with them. Playing with chopsticks is considered impolite and rude, just likeplaying with a fork in a western environment. Besides, chopsticks are not used to move bowls or plates or to play with one's food. Chopsticks are not supposed to stab (戳) food, either. Exceptions include tearing larger items apart such as vegetables. Also, chopsticks should not be left standing up in a bowl of food. Any stick-like object pointing upward looks like the incense sticks that some Asians use as offerings to family members who have died. In addition, never tap chopsticks on the edge of one's bowl, as beggars are believed to make this noise to attract attention. Moreover, chopsticks should not be chewed on, or stay in one's mouth for too long. Today, chopsticks serve many other functions. For example, you can buy a pair of chopsticks as a gift for a newly-married couple as their wedding gift. In Chinese, "chopsticks" reads "kuaizi", which means having sons soon. Skillful craftsmen paint beautiful scenery on chopsticks to make them look like fine artwork. Additionally, it has been said that using chopsticks improves one's memory, increases finger flexibility (灵活性) and can be useful in learning and improving skills such as Chinese character writing and brush painting.4.We may probably find this passage in ______ ．A. a posterB. a magazineC. a travel guideD. an advertisement5.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Traditional rules for using chopsticks.B. Different standards to use chopsticks.C. Some exceptions to use chopsticks．D. Cultural backgrounds for using chopsticks6.The writer probably agrees ________.A. chopsticks can help keep enough food supplyB. stabbing food with chopsticks is never allowed in ChinaC. standing chopsticks up in a bowl of food is traditionally acceptedD. Chinese brush painting learners may benefit from using chopsticksCA new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds that a fitness tracker (健康追踪器) probably does not help with weight loss.The trackers are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist (手腕), where they record a person's heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of people. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health consultation with experts for best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health consultation.The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of these trackers for weight loss.The study involved 470 people aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese. Over three fourths of them were women. All were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly consulting, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups showed great improvements in fitness, physical activity and diet, with no big difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.Jakicic said, "The study's findings are important because effective long-term treatments areneeded to deal with America's obesity." More information is needed, he added, to learn how to best use these trackers to help adults who want to lose weight.7.Both groups of people in the study were asked to _______.A. start on a high-calorie dietB. wear a fitness trackerC. consult expertsD. record their heart rates8.Why does Jakicic think the findings are important?A. Wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weight.B. Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight loss.C. Dealing with obesity needs effective long-term treatments.D. There are great differences in health between both groups.9.What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text?A. The study went on for about two years.B. More than 120 men took part in the study.C. Health consulting helps lose almost 6 kilograms.D. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim.10.The purpose of the text is to _______.A. describe how the researchers carried out the studyB. show regular consulting for weight control is necessaryC. persuade readers to wear fitness trackers for weight controlD. warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Be the friend everyone wants Some people seem to have a special talent for making friends．Being with them，you feel like you're the most interesting person in the world．How do these "friend magnets （磁铁）" do it？It's simple：they're truly interested in people．The people they meet feel important and special，so they return the favor by wanting to be their friends! (1)Ask questions and listen to the answers．Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and thought，"Wow，that person is really interested in what I have to say!"

"Love the jeans，Popular girl!"）Of course it is---you'd feel more fake than a three-dollar bill! But no doubt there are little things you notice and admire about the people around you．(5) "Your poem is really good．I especially like that line about …" As long as you are sincere，you can't go wrong．A．Then，comment on them．B．Just be specific （具体）about what you like．C．It's a great skill and here's how to develop it．D．They'll want to be around you---it's as simple as that．E．Your body sends messages as surely as your mouth does．F．Say kind and true things．G．Remember what's important to people．11.

Crazy Housing PricesBCarrots are grown on farms and in family gardens throughout the world．Carrots are easy to raise and easy to harvest．They taste good．When people think of carrots，they usually picture in their minds a vegetable that is long，thin and orange in colour．But carrots come in many different sizes and shapes．And not all carrots are orange．For the best results，carrots should be grown in sandy soil that does not hold water for a long time．The soil also should have no rocks．To prepare your carrot garden，dig up the soil，loosen it and turn it over．Then，mix in some plant material or animal fertilizer．Weather，soil conditions and age will affect the way carrots taste．Experts say warm days，cool nights and a medium soil temperature are the best conditions for growing carrots that taste great．Carrots need time to develop their full sugar content．This gives them their taste．But carrots loose their sweetness if you wait too long to remove them from the ground．The best way to judge if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its colour．Usually，the brighter the colour，the better the taste．Carrots are prepared and eaten in many different ways．They are cut in thin pieces and added to other vegetables．They are cooked by themselves or added to stews．Or，once they are washed，they are eaten just as they come out of the ground．4.Why should people harvest carrots at proper time？______A. Because people sometimes are very busy．B. Because carrots have different kinds．C. Because it takes time for carrots to keep sugar．D. Because weather always changes．5.What do we know about carrots？______A. They are easy to raise but hard to harvest．B. All carrots are not orange．C. Only one factor affects the way carrots taste．D. It is only by colour that you can decide if you should harvest them．6.What is the best title for the passage？______A. How to Harvest CarrotsB. How to Cook CarrotsC. Different Weather，Different SizesD. CarrotsCWe human beings haven't been good friends to animals. For thousands of years, we have been polluting the environment, making it hard for animals to live on the planet. We have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat, or simply because they are dangerous. As a result, many kinds of animals have disappeared forever. Hundreds more are on the endangered list today.Should we care about animals? Of course we should. If animals of a certain kind all disappear, they will never come back again. Animals are more than just resources of things we need. Every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the corn and grain that the farmers stored were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With less and less hawks to keep down their numbers, rats and mice multiplied(繁殖) quickly. And if people kill too many birds, the fields will be bothered with insects. It is because birds eat insects. When there are less and less birds, more and more insects will eat the crops.Luckily, we've realized that we shouldn't kill animals any more. And people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws toprotect the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws. These laws forbid the killing of any kind of animal on the endangered list. We should try our best to protect and save the endangered animals.7.Why do people kill animals?A. Animals cause endless trouble.B. They kill animals for something they need.C. Animals destroy their natural balance.D. They kill animals to control their number.8.The example that farmers killed hawks shows that ________.A. there are too many rats and miceB. animals are very beautiful and interestingC. animals are good food resourcesD. every kind of animal is very important in nature9.What can be learned from this text?A. Killing off one kind of animals would cause some new problems.B. The endangered animals should be kept away from people.C. People cared much about animals because they relied on them.D. The number of dangerous animals increased too fast in the past.10.What is the author's attitude towards the future of endangered animals?A. Doubtful.B. Uncaring.C. Optimistic.D. Negative.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Really organized people are not born organized people．(1) ，which then help them stay organized．Here are four habits they use to keep their lives in order．Write things down．A pen and a notebook are needed to record things．(2) ．You will only further make your life complex（复杂的）by trying to contain important dates and messages in your head．Make schedules and deadlines．By leading a cluttered（杂乱的）lifestyle，you will not have the time or space to make your deadlines or achieve your goals．Organized people don't waste time．They recognize that keeping things organized goes hand in hand with staying productive（富有成效的）．They make and keep schedules for the day and week．They make deadlines and set goals．(3) ．Don't put off doing what you should be doing．(4) ．If you want your life to be less stressful，then take action as soon as you can．Put in effort to get things done as soon as possible．(5) ．People who live organized lives only keep what they need and what they really want．Have you ever felt like you don't have the space to keep all the things you own？Instead of buying a larger house，get rid of some．A．Give everything a homeB．Keep only what you needC．They have to develop some habitsD．And most importantly ，they stick to them．E．You can also use a computer or a smart phoneF．Organized people find time every week to organize their thingsG．The longer you wait to do something，the more difficult it will be to get it done11.

2020年浙江省高一(下)期中英语试卷附答案
期中英语试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）ADo you really care who wins Oscars？On February 24 this year，the Academy Awards were presented to actors，actresses，directors，musicians and many other people．Usually they are the "best" and we，the audience，are persuaded that this is true．This year，the nominations （提名）for Best Picture include Black Panther，Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book．According to many people，these are great movies，as are the performers who bring the stories to life．Whoever wins the award for Best Actor or Best Actress will undoubtedly become a Hollywood star．However，Leonardo had never won an Oscar before 2016，but that doesn't mean that his films aren't amazing．I only need to mention Titanic and The Wolf of Wall Street and you can clearly see that he is an excellent actor．And of course，let's not forget Romeo and Juliet．I'm afraid someone may wrongly apprehend my meaning．I am not saying that those who win Academy Awards are not talented people．They most certainly are talented．What I mean is that I don't think we should judge films and actors by how many awards they have．After all ，at this year's Golden Globe Awards，Ricky Gervais compared the prizes to a doorstop and told the nominees to remember that no one cared about that award as much as they did．So let's not judge an actor or actress just based on what critics （评论家）say．If you want to know how good an actor or actress really is，go and watch the film he or she stars in．1.Why is Leonardo mentioned in the passage？______A. He is one of the writer's favorite film actors．B. He is one of the actors who starred in many films．C. He is the leading actor in many award-winning films．D. He is a good actor who didn't win an Oscar until 2016．2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "apprehend" in Paragraph 4？______A. Express．B. Understand．C. Change．D. Show．3.In the author's opinion，what is the best way to judge an actor？______A. To see if he has won an Oscar．B. To read what critics say．C. To judge him by watching his acting．D. To see how many awards he has won．BChopsticks, or Kuaizi in Chinese, are used to eat Asian food. The earliest evidence of a pair of chopsticks made of bronze was found in the Ruins of Yin near Anyang, Henan Province, dating back to about 1, 200 B. C..Chopsticks are round on the eating end which stands for heaven, and the other end is square which stands for earth. This is because keeping enough food supply is the greatest concern between heaven and earth in Chinese culture.There is no single standard for the use of chopsticks, but better keep some rules in mind while eating with them. Playing with chopsticks is considered impolite and rude, just like playing with a fork in a western environment. Besides, chopsticks are not used to move bowls or plates or to play with one's food. Chopsticks are not supposed to stab (戳) food, either. Exceptions include tearing larger items apart such as vegetables. Also, chopsticks should not be left standing up in a bowl of food. Any stick-like object pointing upward looks like the incense sticks that some Asians use as offerings to family members who have died. In addition, never tap chopsticks on the edge of one's bowl, as beggars are believed to make this noise to attract attention. Moreover, chopsticks should not be chewed on, or stay in one's mouth for too long. Today, chopsticks serve many other functions. For example, you can buy a pair of chopsticks as a gift for a newly-married couple as their wedding gift. In Chinese, "chopsticks" reads "kuaizi", which means having sons soon. Skillful craftsmen paint beautiful scenery on chopsticks to make them look like fine artwork. Additionally, it has been said that using chopsticks improves one's memory, increases finger flexibility (灵活性) and can be useful in learning and improving skills such as Chinese character writing and brush painting.4.We may probably find this passage in ______ ．A. a posterB. a magazineC. a travel guideD. an advertisement5.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Traditional rules for using chopsticks.B. Different standards to use chopsticks.C. Some exceptions to use chopsticks．D. Cultural backgrounds for using chopsticks6.The writer probably agrees ________.A. chopsticks can help keep enough food supplyB. stabbing food with chopsticks is never allowed in ChinaC. standing chopsticks up in a bowl of food is traditionally acceptedD. Chinese brush painting learners may benefit from using chopsticksCA new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds that a fitness tracker (健康追踪器) probably does not help with weight loss.The trackers are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist (手腕), where they record a person's heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of people. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health consultation with experts for best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health consultation.The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of these trackers for weight loss.The study involved 470 people aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese. Over three fourths of them were women. All were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly consulting, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups showed great improvements in fitness, physical activity and diet, with no big difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.Jakicic said, "The study's findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to deal with America's obesity." More information is needed, he added, to learn how to best use these trackers to help adults who want to lose weight.7.Both groups of people in the study were asked to _______.A. start on a high-calorie dietB. wear a fitness trackerC. consult expertsD. record their heart rates8.Why does Jakicic think the findings are important?A. Wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weight.B. Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight loss.C. Dealing with obesity needs effective long-term treatments.D. There are great differences in health between both groups.9.What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text?A. The study went on for about two years.B. More than 120 men took part in the study.C. Health consulting helps lose almost 6 kilograms.D. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim.10.The purpose of the text is to _______.A. describe how the researchers carried out the studyB. show regular consulting for weight control is necessaryC. persuade readers to wear fitness trackers for weight controlD. warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Be the friend everyone wants Some people seem to have a special talent for making friends．Being with them，you feel like you're the most interesting person in the world．How do these "friend magnets （磁铁）" do it？It's simple：they're truly interested in people．The people they meet feel important and special，so they return the favor by wanting to be their friends!

Instead of a beach break or ski getaway, a family cruise offers a convenient and cost-effective alternative winter vacation.Explore Asian Metropolises with Regent Seven SeasRegent Seven Seas, all-inclusive ships take visitors to world-class destinations.

It offers a delicious lineup of excellent restaurants ranging from casual to fine dining, thrilling entertainment, exciting fitness activities and classes.1．Where is this text probably taken from?A．A textbook.

D．Generous families.Seagrass meadows (海草床) are wonder plants growing beneath the sea. They feed and shelter sea life and are masterful at storing carbon. Thanks to the assistance of tiger sharks, a huge seagrass meadow in the Bahamas Banks has been discovered, offering the world a tool to fight climate change.Seagrass has usually been detected by Earth-orbiting satellites that identify darker spots in the blue water. In a recent study, tiger sharks were selected as research tools due to their highly consistent associations with seagrass ecosystems. They spent 70% of their time in seagrass meadows. The team equipped eight tiger sharks with satellite labels, seven sharks with camera labels, and used a 360-degree camera on a shark for the first time ever.The data researchers collected was astonishing. The world’s largest seagrass ecosystem, measuring at least 66,900 square kilometers, has been discovered. This reflects a 41% increase from previous estimates of global seagrass. Seagrass can capture (捕获) huge quantities of carbon by photosynthesis (光合作用) and stores it on the seafloor. In terms of climate change, this is excellent news; seagrass is 35 times faster at removing carbon than tropical rainforests. When referring to global seagrass carbon stock estimates, the study indicates that seagrass in the Bahamas may contain 19.2% to 26.3% of all the carbon stored in seagrass meadows on Earth.Yet seagrass meadows are rapidly disappearing, with over 92% of meadows in theUK gone, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Scientists are collecting seeds and trying to grow new seagrass meadows through restoration projects. This new discovery offers optimism and proves the importance of the ocean for healing.The sharks led us to the seagrass ecosystem in the Bahamas, which we now know is likely the most significant blue carbon sink on the planet. What this discovery shows us is that ocean exploration and research are essential for a healthy future. The undeveloped potential of the ocean is limitless. These meadows can be protected and can be copied, offering hope for climate change around the globe.4．How was the seagrass meadow in the Bahamas Banks discovered?A．By analyzing satellites images.B．By keeping track of tiger sharks.C．By using a 360-degree camera.D．By carrying out restoration projects.5．What is the benefit of seagrass in terms of climate change?A．Seagrass provides food for tiger sharks.B．Seagrass stores large amounts of carbon.C．Seagrass absorbs wastes from the ocean.D．Seagrass supplies a habitat to sea animals.6．What is the main message conveyed in the passage?A．Tiger sharks are a tool to detect seagrass meadows.B．Seagrass meadows are disappearing at an alarming rate.C．Scientists are making progress in restoring seagrass meadows.D．Seagrass meadows have a great potential to fight climate change.7．What is the writer’s attitude towards the discovery of seagrass meadows? A．Concerned. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.Recently I bought a book about signposts. Signposts aren’t very interesting, you’re thinking. Well, that, of course, depends on whether you happen to be lost! Ancient travelers would have been grateful for these when settlements were smaller and further apart. In winter, the ability to reach shelter for the night could bethe difference between life and death.One of the very earliest waymarks discovered is in Cumbria. Dating from Roman times, it had lain fallen until 1836, when a farmer ploughing his fields came across a sandstone shaft (碑文). There are other stone posts that have stood by roadsides for centuries. It wasn’t until 1697 that an act was passed declaring that guide-stones must be built.This applied to remote parts of the country where there might be confusion as to which path led to the nearest market town. Later, with the appearance of the Royal Mail, the number rose still further. Nowadays many of these early road signs are designated (指定) as Listed Monuments.“How times change!” Lucy, an enthusiastic walker, to whom I loaned the book, exclaimed.“I suppose now we all rely far more upon mobile phones to guide us.”“Yet they aren’t perfect. Whenever I go out, I prefer a map. I never have to worry about running out of battery.”“I’m always grateful to whoever is placing way-markers along the route,” she added, “I suppose that however sure we are, a little outside confirmation is always welcome.”Lucy is quite right there. Life itself can offer us a great many choices of path, and sometimes it isn’t easy to know if we’ve chosen the best one.Perhaps when it comes to gratitude, we should also include thanks for those people who appear in our lives when we most need them — either giving us gentle warning that we might be heading in the wrong direction, or reassurance that we are on the right track. After all, we’d be lost without them!8．What does the underlined word “these” in the first paragraph refer to? A．Signposts. B．Abilities. C．Settlements. D．Shelters. 9．What contributed to the initial spread of signposts?A．The market trade. B．The act passed in 1697.C．The discovery of the sandstone. D．The appearance of the Loyal Mail. 10．What does Lucy think of signposts?A．Popular. B．Outdated. C．Imperfect. D．Helpful.11．What does the author learn from signposts?A．To choose right tracks. B．To live a colorful life.C．To have a grateful mind. D．To offer practical choices.A study offers even more evidence of the harmful health effects of sugar. The research, published in the journal BMC Medicine, found that diets higher in free sugars –a category that includes sugar added to processed foods and sodas, as well as that found in fruit juice and syrups—raise one’s risk of heart disease and stroke.The study relied on data about the eating habits of more than 110,000 people aged 37 to 73 in the United Kingdom, whose health outcomes were then tracked over about nine years. An author of the study, Cody Watling said sugars that occur naturally in whole fruits and vegetables are not considered “free sugars” and were excluded from the analysis. The researchers estimated participants’carbohydrate(碳水化合物) intakes and then further broke that down by type of carbohydrate to focus on free sugars.Then the authors compared that to the participants’possibility of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. The people who were found to have the highest risk of heart disease or stroke consumed about 95 grams of free sugar per day, which accounts for 18% of their daily energy intake, Watling said.“Avoiding sugar-sweetened beverages is probably the single most important thing we can do,” said Walter Willett. He added that although there are some health benefits to drinking a small glass of orange juice occasionally, its sugar content means “a glass of fruit juice is the same thing as Coke.”Cody Watling said the study demonstrates that the types of carbohydrates people choose to eat may matter more than the total amount. “What’s really important for overall general health and well-being is that we’re consuming carbohydrates that are rich in whole grains,”he said, while “minimizing the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.”12．What can we learn from the text?A．Free sugar refers to the sugar added to processed foods.B．Walting didn’t research sugars that occur naturally in whole fruits and vegetables.C．The free sugar accounts for 18%of people’s daily sugar intake.D．Walting suggested us avoiding sugar-sweetened beverages.13．What does the underlined phrase “break down” mean in paragraph 2? A．Classify. B．Destroy. C．Analyze. D．Confirm. 14．Which section of a magazine is this text taken from?A．Health and life. B．Food and Culture.C．Science and Technology. D．Medicine Science.15．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To encourage people to refuse fruit juice.B．To ask people to say no to free sugar.C．To advise people to consume more types of carbohydrates.D．To warn people against diets with higher free sugars.二、七选五Is your glass of milk half-full or half-empty? This saying is often used to test people’s outlook in a situation; do they focus on the positives(a half- full glass)well-being.Why is thinking positively good for you?Research shows that people who are optimistic and think positively tend to experience less stress and cope well when faced with life’s challenges. People who are more pessimistic may find it hard to believe that these challenges will pass. Scientists have even found that thinking positively can make you live longer. According to Professor Tali Sharot, being optimistic about the future can make you happier and more successful. 17Worrying is like a fire alarm.Everybody can worry from time to time. Worrying can help to keep you safe—if you were never worried and were overly positive about how things would turn out, you wouldn’t recognize risks.“ 18 It’s like a fire alarm,” says childpsychotherapist RachelMelville-Thomas. “The trouble is that sometimes it goes off when there isn’t a huge danger to face.” When this happens, you can feel anxious and hopeless about what lies ahead.19Optimism is shaped by your genes, which carry characteristics inherited from your parents, and by what happens to you. 20 Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that’s positive —for example, an image of you playing guitar, having passed your next grade. Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it, such as practicing every day after school.A．Learn to think positively.B．Sometimes worrying can do harm to our health.C．The way you think positively or negatively largely depends on your genes.D．Worrying is our brain warning us that there might be something threatening.E．However, no matter your starting point, everyone can learn to become more optimistic.F．Thinking positively, with a belief that most things will turn out well, is called optimism.G．This’s because you believe your goals are achievable, which encourages you to work towards them.三、完形填空Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modern age.

There are Red Cross societies in 190 countries all over the world. Their task is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of sudden serious situations by organizing volunteers and the people who want to donate（捐献）.In 1860, Swiss businessman and social activist, Jean Henri Dunant, saw the effects of war, and countries not prepared or able to deal with the suffering of those who had been injured in the Battle of Solferino during the second War of Italian Independence. Dunant organized a group of volunteers to help bring water and food to the injured, to help with medical treatment, or to write letters to the families of those who were dying. After that moment, he knew that more had to be done, and he wrote the book, A Memory of Solferino , which encouraged the public to create an organization which would help the wounded. His writing encouraged more people to support him in creating the International Federation of the Red Cross. And in 1863, International Committee of the Red Cross was founded.The modern-day Red Cross does more than nursing soldiers during wartime. The group began to devote itself largely to disaster relief （灾难救援） and epidemic （流行病） treatment. It has achieved even greater service in humanitarian （人道主义的） programs that serve continuously in both peace and war.One of the easiest ways you can help the Red Cross is to make sure you are able to donate bloodand make an appointment at the Red Cross website.

B ． To explain the Red Cross ' s future work.C． To show how the Red Cross helps needy people. D ． To encourage people to offer help to the Red Cross.If you have ever been disappointed because you don ' t have a good gardener, the clever robot may one day become the helper of your indoor plants.The Hexa Plant is a six-legged robot that has been specially made to care for the potted 盆（栽的） plant that it carries on top of its head. Using light and heat sensors （传感器）, the robot has the ability to carry its plant in and out of the daylight. If the houseplant needs more sun, the Hexa will walk into the sunlight; and if the houseplant is getting too hot, the Hexa will go back into the area that blocks direct light. The Hexa Plant will even do a little dance when it senses that the plant needs to be watered to warn its owner.The robot was developed by Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in 2014. “ Plants only receive an action withoutresponding, ” Sun Tianqi wrote in a blog post. ar“e bWeihnegt hceurt ,t hbiettye n, burned or pulled from the earth, or when they haven ' t received enough sunshine, water, or are too hot or cold, they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them. ”According to Sun Tianqi, for billions of years, plants have never experienced movement of any kind, not even the simplest movement. In their whole lives, they stick to where they were born. Sun Tianqi continued, “ Do they want to break their own settings or have a te趋ndency （向） towards this? I do not know the answer, but I would love to try to share some of this humantendency and technology with plants. With the help of the robot, plants can experience the move. ”The Hexa Plant model robots are not for sale, though Vincross does sell a Hexa robot model. It is said that in the near future the robots can open up a new market to watch over our household plants. 7． What can we learn about the Hexa Plant? A ． It helps people do some gardening.

AMy dear friend has invited me to speak at a women's meeting she was holding in Honduras. The night before I was to leave, I decided a warm bath would help me sleep. I turned on the hot water handle on the tub (浴缸）and waited. I co mplained, “Let me have some warm water!”" took forever for the hot water to work its way through the pipes to the back of the house. Needless to say, the bath wasn't relaxing.The next afternoon, I arrived in Honduras. After the meeting, my friend took me to meet some of her family members. They lived in a stick-and-mud house and slept on dirt floors. The women cooked outside on the stove. Still, even in these terrible conditions, everyone I met had a smile on his or her face. They were so generous and almost always suggested we stay for coffee.On our way to one home we passed a pond which was black and dirty. One woman pushed the cover back with a stick while the other put the water into a bucket. I prayed (折持)，“Please don’t let them offer coffee.”After we were invited in, a little girl ran inside. She held a mango in each hand. The one in her left hand was half eaten. This little beauty held out her right hand and offered me the other mango, which I gladly accepted. Her eyes danced. I remember thinking, “She has no idea that she is poor.”When it was time to leave, we walked outside and I noticed a muddy stream that ran beside theirwaste.”The evening I returned home I went into my perfect bathroom and twisted the hot water handle. While bathing, I thought of this simple pleasure. Clean water wasn't my right; it was luck.1. How did the author feel after the bath according to Paragraph 1?A. Nervous.B. Relaxed.C. Disappointed.D.

It is everybody's right to live a comfortable life.D. Offering guests coffee is a custom in Honduras.【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。

浙江省高一下期中考试英语试卷(附参考答案与解析）（满分：150分；考试时间：120分钟）学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Temples have long served an important role since the early years of civilization. Whether you are seeking a sense of spiritual enlightenment or looking to learn more about a certain religion, these beautiful temples are worth a stop on your vacation. Paro Taktsang in the Paro Valley, BhutanSituated on a steep cliff in Bhutan’s Paro Valley, the “Tiger’s Nest” earned its nickname from an 18th-century tale detailing Buddhist master Padmasambhava arriving to the site on a flying tiger. The journey to the cliffside is quite the challenge, requiring guests to climb two hours on a steep trail.Seiganto-ji in Nachikatsuura, JapanNeighboring the tallest waterfall and set against the lush trees of Nachi, Seiganto-ji dates back to the 4th century. Seiganto-ji is now the first stop on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage, where individuals travel to 33 Buddhist temples throughout the Kansai region of Japan.Man Mo Temple in Hong KongThis Buddhist and Taoist temple was built to honor the god of literature and the god of war, and the inscriptions found in the temple hall imply its construction may have taken place around 1847. It is still highly active and visited by local worshippers, so it’s asked that any visitor coming to the temple is prohibited from taking photos out of respect.Kek Lok Si Temple, MalaysiaPenang is often touted(吹捧) for its sandy beaches and emerald blue waters, but it’s also home to the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. A melting pot of cultures, the temple’s architecture showcases Chinese, Thai, and Burmese styles throughout its stunning seven stories. It’s estimated there are 10,000statues of Buddha depicted throughout its main pagodas(宝塔).1．If you hope to enjoy a sea view, which temple is the best choice?A．Paro Taktsang in the Paro Valley, Bhutan. B．Seiganto-ji in Nachikatsuura, Japan.C．Man Mo Temple in Hong Kong. D．Kek Lok Si Temple, Malaysia.2．What do we know from the text?A．Kek Lok Si Temple is the largest temple in Malaysia.B．Paro Taktsang earned its nickname due to its unique location.C．Seiganto-ji is a time-honored temple with magnificent surroundings. D．Visitors tend to take photos to show their respect for Man Mo Temple. 3．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A travel journal. B．A tourist brochure.C．A geography textbook. D．An academic article.“Today I will give you a special test,” said the English teacher with a smile on his face. All the students sat up straight and waited for the test to begin.The teacher began to give the test papers to all the students. After he finished handing out the test papers, he asked them to begin.The students were very surprised to see that there was not a question but a black dot(圆点) in the centre of the paper. The teacher noticed the students' surprise and said, “I want you to write about what you see there.” At the end of the class, the teacher took all the students' answer sheets and read the answers. All of them described the black dot. After reading all the answers, the teacher said, “Here everyone only paid attention to the black dot, but no one wrote about the white paper.”The whole class listened silently, because they were afraid to fail the exam. Then the teacher said, “Don't worry about your marks for this test. I just want you to think about your life. The white paper is like your whole life and the black dot in the centre of the paper represents(代表) problems in your daily life. Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care. However, we just pay attention to the problems like illness and poverty, and never see happy things in our life. So we should try to solve our problems and enjoy each moment life gives us.”4．What was in the centre of the paper?A．A white dot. B．A black dot. C．A question. D．A gift.5．Which of the following is wrong according to the story?A．There was a black dot in the centre of the paper.B．Nobody paid attention to the black dot.C．The students should not just care about their marks.D．The students were very surprised when they saw the papers.6．Which is the right order of the story?①The teacher read all the answers.②The teacher asked his students not to worry about their marks.③The teacher wanted his students to think about life.④The teacher began to hand out the test papers.A．④①②③B．①②③④C．④①③②D．③②①④Paris, best-known as the city of love, is also the city of book lovers! Here are four literary landmarks you should not miss.Brasserie Lipp151 Boulevard Saint-GermainThis brasserie has long been a popular bar for creatives. In its early days it was popular among actors from a nearby theatre group called Vieux-Colombier. Later, writers came in droves. Marcellin Cazes, who took over ownership in 1918, created the literary prize Prix Cazes to reward authors not successful in literary competitions before. It has been staged annually since it began in 1935.BoquinistesRight Bank and Left Bank of the River SeineThe boquinistes are riverside booksellers who have been around since the 16th century. These booksellers began as somewhat lawless figures, disliked by the authorities as they were able to get around the censorship (审查) rules. In the mid-19th century they were granted licenses to sell books, and now they are a major sight along the Seine. They feature on France’s list of intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage.Père Lachaise8 Boulevard de MenilmontantWhen it first opened, this cemetery was not a popular burial spot. It was some way away from the city centre and it had not been blessed by the church. In a marketing ploy, the cemetery acquired the remains of some notable literary figures. In decades, the cemetery had become the final resting place of many writers, including Balzac and Gertrude Stein.Le Procope13 Rue de l’Ancienne ComédieLe Procope was opened in 1686 by Sicilian chef Francesco and is still on business. Located across the road from a theatre, it became a hotspot for actors, playwrights and poets. Voltaire was said to drink 40 cups of coffee a day while he worked at a table at the cafe.7．Who was the prize Prix Cazes intended for?A．Notable literary figures. B．Actors from Vieux-Colombier. C．Booksellers on the Seine. D．Losers in literary competition. 8．What makes Boquinistes distinctive?A．Their popularity among creatives. B．A perfect option for book shoppers. C．Being intangible cultural heritage. D．Playwrights and poets’ favour. 9．Of the four literary landmarks, which can not be a consumption spot for visitors? A．Brasserie Lipp B．BoquinistesC．Père Lachaise D．Le ProcopeIn the animal kingdom, mimics (模仿) are not rare. Stick insects pretend to be twigs. Hawk moth caterpillars resemble poisonous snakes. The examples, though, are visual. Auditory mimicry is rarer. Danilo Russo of the University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it, as he describes in Current Biology. Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them.Dr. Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago. The noise struck him assimilar to the sound of some bees. He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry which helped to scare off would-be predators.To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different bees. Computer analysis revealed that bees’and bats’ buzzing were, indeed, similar.Then the researchers recruited several owls. They put the owls, one at a time, in an enclosure with branches for them to stay on, and two boxes with holes in them. They placed a loudspeaker alongside one of the boxes and, after the birds had settled in, broadcast through it five seconds of uninterrupted bat buzzing and a similar amount of insect buzzing three times in a row for each noise. As a control, they broadcast in like manner several non-buzzing sounds made by bats.During the broadcasts and for five minutes thereafter, they videoed the owls. After analysis, the results were unequivocal. When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer.Dr. Russo believes this is the first reported case of a mammal using auditory mimicry to scare away a predator. They strongly suspect, however, that it is not unique. Anecdotes suggest several birds also make buzzing noises when their nests are disturbed. And with the result of the experiment, he therefore predicts that auditory mimicry is far more widespread than currently realized.10．What was Dr. Russo’s assumption of the study?A．Bats imitate the voice of angry bees to frighten away enemies.B．The buzzing of bats is similar to the sound of some bees.C．Auditory mimicry is rather common in the animal kingdom.D．Only some bats have the capacity of auditory mimicry.11．How did Dr. Russo test his idea?A．By consulting experts in this field. B．By referring to other scholars’analysis.C．By collecting computer data. D．By conducting series of scientificexperiments.12．What does the underlined word “unequivocal” in paragraph 5 possibly mean? A．Disappointing. B．Controversial. C．Definite. D．Uncertain. 13．What is a suitable title for the text?A．A New Trick to Scare Away Owls B．Animal Mimicry: Buzz offC．A Self-protection Behavior among Animals D．Bats: No More Victim to Owls二、七选五International Languages Week is an annual event held in New Zealand to promote language and culture from around the world.

2020届浙江省七彩阳光联盟英语高考试题试卷模拟测试题及答案
2020届浙江省七彩阳光联盟英语高考5月模拟试题第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分25.0分）第一节（共3小题；每小题2.5分，满分25.0分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑．11．（7.5分）You're at dinner with your friends on Sunday and the waiter comes up to you and says，"Is this going to be on one check or﹣""Separate!" you all said，barely taking a breath to pause from your conversation．And why would you？It's pretty usual to pay for your own meal，or to go Dutch．But it wasn't always the custom to split the check when going out with friends．In fact，in early English society，it was seen as selfish to invite someone out to eat and not pay for their meal．The origins of the phrase "going Dutch" are a little complicated，but Steven Pincus，a historian from the University of Chicago who focuses on carly modern Europe，helped us track the complex history of this idiom．We have to take it back all the way to the 1600s．During the Anglo﹣Dutch Wars，there were multiple conflicts between the English and the Dutch over trade and naval power．That led to a rise in idioms from the English regarding their enemy，the Dutch：phrases like "Dutch courage，" the false courage brought on by alcohol；or "Dutch reckoning，" which is a ridiculously high bill on which you've likely been cheated．This was because the English saw the Dutch not only as a trading enemy，but also as a people with questionable morals．The English "claimed that the Dutch had been completely corrupted by their commitment to capitalism．"（Funny how tides change，isn't it？）Of course，as time changes，so does our sense of self．After all，who wants to pay for their friends' meals all the time？Maybe sometimes it's all right to do like the Dutch do．（1）What did people once do in English history if they dined out with friends？A．They split the check．B．The inviter paid for the meal．C．They paid for their meals in turn．D．One of the guests paid for the meal．（2）What does the author say about the idioms containing the word "Dutch"？A．They show respect to the Dutch．B．They do harm to English language．C．They are associated with money．D．They mean something dishonorable．（3）The purpose of the text is to explain．A．the English table mannersB．the England and Dutch relationshipC．the origin of some English phrasesD．the change in English history12．（7.5分）Has your adult child ever accused you of being too critical？Not supportive enough？What about disturbing，or needy？One way to handle complaints like this is to assume that your child is overly sensitive．There is such a thing as high sensitivity，which can worsen any problems between parents and adult children．But imagine approaching your child's reactions as if it were a mirror．Instead of it being about your child's opinion of you，what if that feedback could tell you something about your own relationship with yourself？It makes sense．Your way of being in the world is at its most basic，its most raw，when you interact with your own children，because often，it feels like you're talking to an extension of yourself．On the upside，a self﹣confident，ambitious mom will encourage her adult child to start the shoot ﹣for﹣the﹣stars business he's been talking about．Since she isn't afraid of failure herself，her child can count on her support if he wants to try something that clearly might not work out．When the child says，"Thank you for supporting me in trying this new thing，"he's also holding up a mirror that says，"You're not afraid to try new things．"But the mirror reflects everything．We don't just have strengths．We're also troubled by doubts，fears，and limitations．A mom who silently but constantly puts herself down will hardly notice that encouragement andappreciation are lacking in her conversations with her child．She doesn't speak that language；criticism is her native tongue．Like a speaker of English who doesn't have to stop and wonder which form of a verb to use with a plural subject，the language of criticism rolls off her tongue without her having to think about it．Whenthe child says，"You're so critical，" he's also holding up a mirror that says，"You're self﹣critical．"（1）The author suggests that from the child's reactions a mother can．A．know herself betterB．understand the childC．improve her public imageD．promote the family unity（2）What can we infer from the last paragraph？A．English speakers are bad examples of critical parents．B．A parent should use good grammar in communication．C．English speakers are sensitive to the language of criticism．D．A parent could use critical language without even noticing it．（3）We can conclude that a mother is good with emotions if her daughter says to her""A．You're so honest．B．I need more privacy．C．Thank you for letting me cry．D．I can't be there for you 24/7．13．（10分）A British father，digital product manager Nick Herbert，has invented an app，ReplyASAP，because his 13﹣year﹣old son wasn't responding to his calls or texts．The app takes over a smartphone screen，locking the phone from further use and sounds an alarm that only stops when the receiver replies by text．It sounds like an invasion of privacy（侵犯隐私）and the latest attempt by distrustful parents to track and control their children．But this is fair enough﹣it serves these youngsters right for not replying．Mobile phones are usually bought by parents primarily for safety reasons，but teenagers have "other important things"．Sometimes，it's perhaps an entirely reasonable lack of interest in anything that "boring adults"have to say．However，mobiles have also long been employed by teens in the ongoing war against parental control in their otherwise vivid social lives．Thus，texts and calls are ignored，with the teen pretending to have missed them or just simply ignoring them．At which point parents must stroke their chins and consider apps such as "ReplyASAP"．It should be pointed out that Herbert's son wasn't doing anything wrong﹣he was merely distracted by co games．Most teenagers wouldn't be doing anything wrong，but that's not the point．While there are wider concerns about things such as ReplyASAP being used by adults to control and abuse partners，makers can't really be held responsible for their apps being misused．And where kids are concerned，it's all about Parental access and information．Parents not only have a right，they also need to know that their children are sate．It's this need，not the right，that I believe morally outweighs the child's privacy．Anyone who doesn't agree with me perhaps needs to experience the horror of not being able to locate their child in the small hours，long after they were supposed to be home．（1）Nick Herbert invented the new phone app because．A．his son refused to talk to himB．he couldn't reach his son by phoneC．his son was addicted to video gamesD．he wanted to monitor his son's phone use（2）Teens sometimes ignore calls and texts from parents because they．A．have little interest in their parents' social lifeB．find parents' concern over their safety ridiculousC．believe they are not doing anything wrongD．are busy taking care of other things（3）ReplyASAP could be put to wrong use by．A．controlling adultsB．its makerC．naughty teensD．child abusers（4）Why does the author support apps such as ReplyASAP？A．Because parents have the right to access their kids' phone．B．Because parents need to know if their kids are safe．C．Because kids tend to stay out in the small hours．D．Because kids are supposed to obey orders．第二节（共1小题，每小题10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．选项中有两项为多余选项．14．（10分）A Cook's DilemmaWhat to cook when you have guests？I always feel like I'm walking on eggshells when I have to prepare a dinner party for new friends or people I don't know well．（1）Others can't stand a particular vegetable．And even puddings have their critics．Attitudes towards food can be formed during childhood and have an effect on the rest of their lives．President George Bush senior，for example，banned broccoli aboard the presidential plane，Air Force One．"I do not like broccoli!" the President said in 1990．"And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it．And I'm President of the United States，and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli!"（2）Dr Emma Uprichard from the Oxford University published a study on food hates．（3）They don't like milk puddings﹣semolina and rice pudding﹣often associated with school dinners of the 50s and 60s．But it's not only bad memories that make us turn our noses up at certain foods．There are biological reasons too．Scientists researching human bodies say there are various groups of "tasters"．（4）I always keep my fingers crossed that none of my dinner party guests are in this group．（5）The British don't eat horse meat．Brazilians like a black bean stew with pork which，in the experience of a Brazilian cooking for friends here in London，isn't popular with Kurdish people．Sometimes I think the life of a host would be easier if we could just serve everybody a simple omelet，seasoned with love and friendship．A．And food is about cultural diversity too．B．Some eaters are picky and don't like cheese．C．It can be hard to decide which foods to prepare in a party．D．It showed common categories in the foods British people reject．E．We
