AI grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom completely lined with bookshelves. Most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worldswe could step into, take part in and live in.With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, togeth er with lots of practice, what voice he has.Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (小说). As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn’t necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.21. What can be inferred about the author as a child?A. He never watched TV.B. He read what he had to.C. He considered reading part of his life.D. He found reading unbelievable.22. The underlined word "voice" in the second paragraph most probably means “”.A. an ideaB. a way of writingC. a sound qualityD. a world to write about23. What effect does reading have on the author?A. It helps him to realize his dream.B. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.C. It makes his college life more interesting.D. It opens up a wider world for him.24. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?A. What do I read?B. How do I read?C. Why do I read?D. When do I read?BMove over, helicopter parents. “Snowplow (扫雪机) parents” are the newest reflection of an intensive (强化的) parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, texting their college kids to wake them up so they don’t sleep through a t est, and even calling their kids’ bosses.Helicopter parenting, the practice of wandering anxio usly near one’s children, monitoring their every activity, is so 20th century. Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines moving ahead, clearing any difficulties in their children’s path to success, so they don’t have to suffer failure, frustration (挫折) or lose opportunities.It starts early, when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them. It gets more intense when school starts: running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team.Rich parents may have more time and money to make sure their children don’t ever meet with failure, but it’s not only rich parents practicing snow plow parenting. This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children, regardless of income, education, or race.Yes, it’s a parent’s job to support the children, and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when their child ren aren’t mature enough to do so. That’s why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid getting angry or take away a teenager’s car keys until he finishes his college applications.But snowplow parents can take it too far, some experts say. If children have never faced a difficulty, what happens when they get into the real world?“Solving problems, taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills,” many child development experts say, “and if parents don’t let their children experience failur e, the children don’t learn them.”25. What do we know about snowplow parenting?A. It appeared before helicopter parenting.B. It costs parents less than helicopter parenting.C. It provides more than enough services for children.D. It was very common in the 20th century.26. What does the fourth paragraph mainly say about snowplow parenting?A. Its cost.B. Its popularity.C. Its benefits.D. Its ending time.27. Why does the author mention parents’ taking away car keys?A. To show it’s correc t to help children when necessary.B. To advise teenagers not to treat their cars as toys.C. To advise parents not to buy cars for their teenagers.D. To show teenagers are no better than babies.28. What’s the possible result of snowplow parenting acc ording to the experts?A. Children meeting no problems after growing up.B. Children mastering more key life skills than parents.C. Children gaining great success in every aspect of life.D. Children lacking problem-solving ability in reality.CIf y ou ask most people what water tastes like, they’ll probably tell you that water has no taste and they may give you a funny look. But if you were a fruit fly, asking another fruit fly, that question might have a different answer.To a fruit fly, water has a taste. Scientists want to know how the fruit fly knows water because this information may help in learning how other animals — or even individual cells — manage to use water in the right way. Water is important to life, but too much or too little can be deadly to a living creature. So by understanding how the fruit fly tastes water, researchers may learn more about other living things.According to the new study, a protein (蛋白质) called PPK28 makes it possible for a fly to taste water. Proteins build cells and tissues, fight disease and carry messages between cells. It’s not surprising that a protein is responsible for the fruit fly’s ability to taste water.The PPK28 protein is part of a larger family of similar proteins. One of these related proteins is used by mammals (哺乳动物) (including humans) to taste salt. Scientists have not found a protein that enables humans to “taste” water.In the experiment, Cameron and his team compared normal fruit flies with fruit flies whose taste cells had been disabled. The fruit flies were given a special chemical that would glow (发光) when the fly used the PPK28 protein. Then the scientists led the flies to water. When the normal flies tasted the water, the PPK28 protein lit up — showing that it was in use.The fruit fly in particular is so interesting that some scientists are hard at work creating a complete map of the fruit fly brain. This map will show all of a fly’s neurons and help scientists understand how the neurons(神经元) work together.29. How do most people feel when asked the taste of water?A. Disagreeable.B. Frightened.C. Disappointed.D. Strange.30. Why do scientists want to know how the fruit fly knows water?A. To know more about other creatures.B. To decrease the number of the fruit fly.C. To manage to use water correctly.D. To describe the taste of water.31. What do we know about the PPK28 protein?A. It enables the fruit fly to taste water.B. The fruit fly can’t live without it.C. It can make humans taste salt.D. The fruit fly uses it to avoid illnesses.32. What will the scientists continue to work at?A. Creating maps of human brains.B. Telling more information about cells.C. Studying the fruit fly’s neuron systems.D. Making the PPK28 protein.第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 共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。

It ’ s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will becomemore intelligent. A quick Internet search suggests plenty of products toassist you in the task. Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help youtaste the power of Mozart ’ s music, but when it comes to scientific evidencethat it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.The phrase “ the Mozart effect ” was made up in 1991, but it was a stud y described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media andpublic interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehowimproves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozartwas undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex （复杂的）and there isa hope that if we listen to enough of it, we ’ ll become more intelligent.The idea got across to the public , with thousands of parents playingMozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the stateof Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budgetso that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was notjust babies and children who were exposed to Mozart ’ s music on purpose,even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozartthree times a day to help them to produce better milk.I’ll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but whatabout the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent?More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studiesconfirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in theability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and itdoesn ’ t make us more intelligent.1. What can we learn from paragraph 1?。

2019-2020学年上师大附中高一上英语期中考试试卷(含答案)
II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20+30)Section ADirection: After reading the passage below. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct(A)My parents moved from New Jersey to Germany when I was a child. After a few weeks of playing with neighbors of the same age. I was speaking fluent German. That' s probably not an option if you want to learn a language ____21____ your next international trip. However, there are some new ways to learn key words and phrases before your departure.____22____ playground immersion(沉浸), the best way to learn a language used to be in a classroom. Today, there are many more options. With the help of technology, you can easily get a linguistic edge, and perhaps even a cultural one, too.The last few years ____23____ (see) a lot of language-learning software hitting the market .These programs, many of ____24____ have popular mobile apps, help beginners learn language basics.Take Memrise for example. This language-learning platform uses flashcards(教学卡片) as memory aids. Memrise offers instruction in 25 languages, and its basic level is free, ____25____ some advanced features available at $4.99 per month.There are so many language apps, all claiming to be the best, ____26___ there are even sites to help you sort if out. You can find detailed reports on these programs on Compare Language Apps: ____27____ independent testing site run by Professor Roumen Vesselinov at Queens College in New York.I’ve had access to most of these apps over the years. Howe ver, I found that they were ____28____ too complicated or too time-consuming to help me learn a language before an international trip. Perhaps my experience of acquiring a language early in life and then trying to acquire ____29____ in a classroom(three years of French, which didn’t really stick)also contributed to my skepticism (怀疑).The language experts I spoke with say you shouldn’t allow the promises of a course or an app ____30____ (convince)you that learning a language is easy. Experts agree that there is no substitute for "on-the-ground" experience practicing a new language with native speakers.(B)Increasingly, various phrases have been taking over a good old-fashioned "t hank you" or "you’re welcome" in daily conversations in the United States. While ____31____ (dine)at a restaurant, when a waiter comes by to ask Americans ____32____ .they would like more water or bread, do you notice that they often say " I'm good,” rather than "no, thank you?” When someone thanks them for holding the door open, "n o problem "is almost the same response as "you're welcome”.Are Americans becoming ruder, ____33____ (abandon) traditional polite phrases, or are the words they use now just updated versions of the same emotion?According to Lisa Gache, co-founder of Beverly Hills Manners, the decline of these magic words in our everyday conversation has to do with the preference ___34____ all things casual in our society today. Casual conversation, casual dress and casual behavior are present in all areas of life.And apparently Americans agree with her. A survey ____35___ (conduct)by Rasmussen Reports revealed that 76 percent of those surveyed thought that Americans were becoming "ruder and ____36____ (civil).”But is using phrases like "no problem"or “you bet"or " enjoy” really rude? Does more casualphrasing erase the original emotion of gratitude? Doesn’t "no, thank you" sometimes sound a little too formal, perhaps even a little too harsh(刺耳的), ____37____ it begins with a “no”?Emily Post Senning, ____38____ great-grandmother set the standard on manners with the book Etiquette,thought that while the principles of respect and consideration are "universal and timeless, " actual manners change over time and between cultures, ____39____ do the words used to express gratitude and appreciation.It's probably not a bad idea ____40____ (remember)to say "please" and "thank you,” but don’t beat yourself up thinking you're a horrible person if you say "have a good one" instead of "have a nice day.”Section BDirection: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. NoteI surveyed more than 30.000 people around the world. These people came from different cultures and were working in various industries. I asked them about how they relate to others: Do they prefer giving or taking?I found that many of them were somewhere in the middle. They fell into a third group, who do something called"matching".If you are a" matcher," you try to keep a balance between giving and taking: "quid pro quo"--I’ll do something for you if you do something for me. That seems like a safe way to live your life. However, is it the most ____41____ approach on a daily basis?____42____ the worst performers among those I surveyed- -regardless of their ____43____ or nationalities ---were the givers. The engineers who were the least productive did more favors than they received in return. They were always so busy doing other people’s job that they ran out of time and energy to get their own work done. In medical schools, the lowest grades went to students who said they “loved helping others.” In other words, the doctors you ought to trust are those who did the training with no____44____ to help anybody However, it turns out that there is a____45____ here---thankfully. Although givers are often sacrificing themselves, they make contribution to their organization. There is a lot of evidence to support this. Research has looked at how often people give to their team or organization. The findings tells us that sharing knowledge and mentoring all boost he performance of the organization on every metric that can be ____46____:profits, customers____47____, employee retention(员工存留率) and so on. Even the operating expenses ____48____.Givers spend a lot of time trying to help other people and improve their teams, it ____49____seems they suffer along the way. Givens deserve more____ 50____. As to what it takes to build cultures where givers can get to succeed more often, it requires further research.when I was laid off (失业)in 2015, I told people about it the way any young people would: by tweeting it. My hope was that someone in my social network would point me to potential opportunities.To my surprise, the"strategy"worked. Shortly after my public plea for employment, a friend of a friend sent me a Facebook message alerting me to a(an)____51____ in her department. Three rounds of interviews later, this acquaintance became my boss(She’s now one of my closest friends)Think of the parents you see in the drop-off one(下客区)at school. Your favorite waiter. The other dog owners at the park. Sociologists(杜会学家) call these relationships “weak ties.” Not only can these connections affect our job prospects(前景) but they can also have a positive impact on our ____52____.Maintaining the network of acquaintances can help you feel more ____53____. The desire to belong and form social attachments is a basic human need, alongside food, sleep and safety But once we hit 25, the number of friends we have ____54____ and becomes smaller over time, according to a 2016 study. As we get older andpriorities____55____from after-work bowling league to after-school pickup, maintaining a loaded social ____56____ becomes less important. Staying socially engaged, then, is integral to personal fulfillment.Besides, having at east a few acquaintances can connect us with a larger circle of people, which is fantastic news, say for job hunters. Even if our friends want to help us find a job, the weak ties are often the ones who ____57____ the job-search playing field.Those acquaintances also provide us with a wider worldview. Regularly interacting with people who have different experiences than we do allows us to be more mindful of others' circumstances. This, in turn, ____58___ empathy(同感能力）Still, casual friends have a lot to offer. Uncovering surprising tidbits(花边新闻) about the regular players in one’s life---____59____ that your neighbor is an accomplished dancer, for instance----can spice up your day.So next time you see a friendly face when you're out and about, you might as well try to____60____ pleasantries(寒暄）.Ill. Reading Comprehension(15 +30+8)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.There is more to saying "sorry”, ____61____ a study led by researchers at Ohio State University found that effective apologies---ones that were accepted by the ____62____ and allowed both parties to move on with no hostility (敌意)---have six elements. They are expressing regret, explaining what went wrong, acknowledging responsibility, declaring repentance (悔悟) , offering to ____63____ the situation, and requesting forgiveness. The more of those components, the more likely the apology is seen as ____64____. Of course, not all errors are created equal. Therefore, you might need to adjust your apology ____65____ the circumstances. Here are a few tips: Sincerity trumps(胜过) timingA little cool-off time could help. Sometimes an immediate apology is ____66___ .But if the other party is angry at your wrongdoing. If may be more effective to wait because their anger may prevent them from being ____67____ to an apology. ____68____ , waiting can benefit you, too, The best time to apologize is when one feels ready to sincerely apologize..Explain: don't excuseAdmitting being wrong is ____69____ and can make people worried that they’re bad people. They of ten water down their apology with excuses which ____70____ the responsibility part of the apology to save face.Excuses may include examples like"I’m very sorry, but in my defense, you started it. " This is a non-apology. It uses the form of an apology but follows it up by ____71____ responsibility to the offended person, implying he or she is too sensitive.Let your body do the talkingExperts agree that ____72____ apologies beat phoned-in, e-mailed and handwritten ones. Facial expressions, posture and the tone of voice are all important ____73____ that convey sincerity when you express repentance. Anyone can type" feel ashamed, " but if you say it ____74____ , it's obvious whether or not you mean it.A phone call is second best. You’ll convey emotions wit h your voice and get instant feedback. E-mailed apologies aren’t ideal. They lack emotional signals. A victim can exploit written apologies and do harm to the apologizer. Being a victim does not ____75____ transform one into a good person.61. A. For instance B. In other word C. In fact D. Of course62. A. offended B. defended C. needed D.accused63.

A. consequently B. significantly C. necessarily D. dramaticallySection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)April Fool’s Day and Easter Sunday rarely coincide. Since 1900, Easter has fallen on April Fools’ Day for only five times--1923,1934, 1945, 1956 and 2018. Obviously, it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to play Easter-themed pranks on your children. Here are some suggestions.A treasure hunt with a twistA fantastic Easter Sunday tradition is to do a treasure hunt where the Easter Bunny has left eggs around your house. Each egg has a small written clue or riddle (谜语)directing the children to where they can find the next one. But when April Fools' Day and Easter Sunday coincide, why not leave some carrots in their place, instead of hiding chocolate eggs ?On the third or fourth clue, you can make it appear as if the Faster Bunny has left a note apologizing for eating all the chocolate but saying they hope you enjoy this left-behind lunch.An Easter basket with a differencePrepare an Easter basket for the children, and either wrap it up or cover it up so that the contents can’t be seen. Have a card from the Easter Bunny next to it which they can open first, with a message that the Easter Bunny wants them to have an extra special Easter and so has prepared a special gift for them. But rather than chocolate or sweets, what you've put in the basket is incredibly dull stuff that kids will be completely unimpressed by---new toothpaste, some socks or a packet of batteries.A sticky situation“You' ll need to prepare this in advance. Buy some of the plastic eggs that contain toys. Unwrap them, open them and then carefully glue them shut and re-wrap them. You don't have to be too tidy---your children are going to be thinking about getting to the toy and are not going to be suspicious. Sit back and enjoy them trying and failing to open the eggs.The invisible Easter egg huntThis is an excellent plan if you have a garden. Tell the children there is an Faster egg hunt in the garden and lead them there.Close the back door. Let your children spend ages searching fruitlessly for Easter eggs that you haven't actually hidden. After you have enjoyed a rare ten minutes of peace and quiet indoors, while they get increasingly confused and frustrated, go into the garden claiming to have found a note from the Easter Bunny. The note reads "April Fool."76. The target readers of this passage are ________A. SchoolchildrenB. head teachers in schoolsC. children who have younger siblingsD. parents of young children77. Which of the pranks is most likely to require a large outdoor space?A. A treasure hunt with a twistB. An Easter basket with a differenceC. A sticky situationD. The invisible Easter egg hunt78. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?A. A treasure hunt for carrots is an Easter traditionB. April Fools Day and Easter Sunday coincide every 11 yearsC. Children are usually disappointed at gifts like socks and batteriesD. All of the four recommended pranks require extensive preparations(B)Even now she calls my attention every day to mispronounced words. All teachers of the deaf know what this means, and only they can at all appreciate the peculiar difficulties with which I had to contend.I had to use the sense of touch in catching the vibrations (振动)of the throat, the movements of the mouth and the expression of the face; and often this sense was at fault. In such cases I was forced to repeat the words or sentences, sometimes for hours, until I felt the proper "ring" in my own voice. My work was practice, practice, practice. Discouragement and weariness cast me down frequently. But the next moment the thought that I should soon be at home and show my loved ones what I had accomplished renewed my courage and spurred(激励)me on, and I eagerly looked forward to their pleasure in my achievement.“ My little sister will understand me now, " was a thought stronger than all obstacles. I was filled with joy while I anticipated the delight of talking to my dear mother and reading her responses from her lips. It astonished me to find how much easier it is to talk than to spell with the fingers, and I discarded the manual alphabet as a medium of communication on my part. But my teacher and a few friends still use it in speaking to me, for it is more convenient than lip reading.Perhaps I had better explain our use of the manual alphabet, which seems to puzzle people who do not know us. One who reads or talks to me spells with his hand, using the single-hand manual alphabet usually employed by the deaf. The position of the hand is as easy to feel as it is to see. I do not feel each letter any more than you see each letter separately when you read. Constant practice makes the fingers very flexible, and some of my friends spell rapidly --about as fast as an expert writes on a typewriter. The mere spelling is, of course, no more a conscious act than it is in writing.When I had made speech my own, I could not wait to go home. At last, the happiest of happy moments arrived.79. According to the article, what kind of communication method did the author prefer?A. TypingB. Lip readingC. Finger spellD. Talk80. To pronounce words correctly, the author had to do the following EXCEPT ________A. Overcome a sense of failure and tiredness for hoursB . repeatedly practice words with patienceC. draw the attention of her highly demanding teacherD. use the sense of touch in catching people's expression81. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Finger spelling is actually an unconscious actB. The blind feel each letter separately when readingC. It is easy for the deaf to use the manual alphabetD. It is dull to repeat the same words for hours82. It can be inferred from the article that the author is ________A. conservativeB. negativeC. positiveD. humorous(C)Bookie’s, the campus bookstore, is located at the Campus Activity Center, main floor.Bookie’s is the only place in Kamloops to buy your course textbooks. There is a book-list in the bookstore listing the books required for each course. If you need help in finding your course textbooks, ask any of the staff in the bookstore.There are more than just textbooks at Bookie’s. They carry a wide variety of stationery, art supplies and gift items. You can also buy telephone cards, postage stamps and bus passes. You must show your student card to get a discount for the bus passes.TEXTBOOK RETURNS1)Do I need my receipt to return books?Yes.2) How long do I have to return books?Books purchased must be returned within ten working days of the date of the purchase.3) What if I wrote my name in the book?Unfortunately, we cannot give you a full refund for books not in mint condition as publishers will not accept this for credit4)What happens if I miss the last day for return?We may purchase the textbook as"used "in accordance with our Buyback program.5)What if I discover that my book has missing pages half way through the semester?We will replace the defective books, new or used, for a like copy of that title. Cash refunds are not even for defective books returned outside the normal return dates.BUYBACKSWhat books do you buy back?We buy back all current edition textbooks. If we do not use them at UCC, we buy them back according to the value established in the North American marketplace2)How much do I get for my books?If Bookies is buying the book for use at UCC, you will receive 50% of the current new retail price. In order to receive optimum(最佳的) buyback price, discs and supplements must accompany the book.3)What happens to the books that I sell?Books for Bookies are processed by our staff and sold to students at 75% of the new retail price.4)What condition do my books need to be in?Books should be in good condition, meaning that the cover is still attached and all pages intact.

Books bought in Bookie's can be returned within ten working daysD. Books bought back are processed by the staff and sold to students.(D)Aspirin has long been believed to help prevent heart attacks and strokes(中风).Some studies have shown that it also has a protective effect against certain types of cancer. As a result, some people religiously pop a low-dose(低剂量的) aspirin after breakfast every day (never take one on an empty stomach). But now its status as a wonder drug has come into question, following a meta-analysis of trial evidence.A meta-analysis reviews the results of a large number of trials and can therefore come to more certain conclusions. This latest review was published this May in The Journal of the American Medical Association.It focused on the connection between aspirin use and cardiovascular(心血管的) and bleeding events. It found that the well-known risk that aspirin can cause internal bleeding is as great as the benefits of preventing heart attacks and strokes. In some cases, the risk even outweighs the benefits.Aspirin thins the blood, thus helping to prevent blood clots (血栓). For his reason, it is a good drug for protecting people who have already had a heart attack or stroke from having another. However, the 164,225 people in these trials had no history of cardiovascular disease. They were monitored for an average of six years, during which time they took a daily aspirin or placebo(安慰剂).Among those who took aspirin, there were about 11% fewer heart attacks and strokes but 43% higher likelihood of a major bleeding episode in the stomach, brain or intestine(肠道).Dr Sean Zheng, a cardiology(心脏病学) researcher at King’s College London, said that taking a daily aspirin couldn’t be recommended for healthy people. But there might still be a case for pe ople with a higher risk of a heart attack or stroke, he added. However, it would be important to consider the bleeding risk.“Aspirin use requires discussion between the patient and their physician, with the knowledge that any small potential cardiovascular benefits are weighed up against the real risk of severe bleeding." he said.The findings reflect the average likelihood of bleeds or heart attacks among the patients in all the trials. There will be people among them who would be better off taking aspirin and those who will be worse. It's yet another situation where we need to weigh up our individual risk and benefit--- maybe with the help of an understanding GP.87. Which of the following is NOT a reason why some people take an aspirin every day?A. They want to lower their risk of having a heart attackB. They hope to protect themselves against some cancersC. They want to ensure they don't have a sick stomachD. They aim to make sure they won't suffer another stroke88. What can be concluded from the recent meta-analysis?A. That aspirin does more harm than good to the human bodyB. That aspirin frequently causes internal bleeding because it thins the bloodC. That previous research into the effects of aspirin on the human body was unreliable.D. That taking aspirin is not worth the risk or those with no history of heart tacks or strokes.89. What should people do before taking aspirin, according to the article?A. To have a thorough physical examinationB. To ask for others' opinions on the internet.C. To read the findings of new studies on aspirinD. To talk with a doctor familiar with their condition90. The article was probably written by ________A. the director of a hospitalB. a public health journalistC. the CEO of a medical companyD. a representative for an insurance companySection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentenceJeff Bezos Reveals His No. 1 Leadership SecretAmazon has reached what its founder and CEO Jeff Bezos called "an interesting milestone.” The retailing giant so highly associated with books and then music and video, now has tens of millions of products in stock and a majority are non-media goods, from drills to tennis balls to almost anything else that can be shipped.____91____ The 48-year-old has officially transformed Amazon, which he founded in 1994, from an online bookstore that sells other stuff to a retailer---and business services provider---that once sold mostly books. Amazon's stock is up 397 percent in the last five years.So, what's behind the success of the world’s largest online retailer? ____92____ Bezos regularly leaves one seat open at meetings and informs all attendees that they should consider that seat occupied by their customer---the most important person in the room.Always trying to find out what customers want, Bezos is even stricter about that customers don’t want. They hate delays, defects and out-of-stock products, so the company constantly looks to make them as rare as possible. ____93____ Amazon data show that a 0.1 second delay in page loading can translate into a one percent drop in customer activity.But great customer service doesn’t fully explain Amazon's extraordinary success. For Bezos,adata driven customer focus encourages him to take risks to innovate. Amazon's kindle, for example, came into being because Bezos believed millions would want an e-book reader that could download any book within 60 seconds. ____94____ Engineers were free to solve technical challenges as they saw fit, only needing to make it right for consumers.Efficiency ---- cheapness, in the eyes of Amazon’s critics---is also an important part of the Amazon culture. In fact, Bezos liks the two. In 2009, Bezos declared that Amazon had begun fighting against waste. The more he could get rid of needless costs, the easier it would be to deliver rock-bottom prices to customers.V.

AWhen Allen invited me on a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace, hot cocoa, and soft beds. But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment—tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles. We were going on survival training!The ever-efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound (蜿蜒) up the mountain.After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned (呻吟) but there was no time to rest. “We need to set up camp quickly,” said Leo. “There are dark clouds coming in. A storm’s on its way.”I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and acted as if to help, thunder rumbling in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless (毫不留情的).Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed (回响), I jumped. “Don’t worry. Summer storms pass quickly,” Leo said trying to comfort me. “And at least the rain will keep the bears away,” he said with a tea sing smile, which was less comforting.And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible — I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky.I won’t lie — I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.21. Why was the author surprised when Allen came to get him at the beginning of the story?A. He realized their trip would be challenging.B. He saw that Allen was not well prepared.C. Allen had arrived earlier than arranged.D. Allen’s brother was unexpectedly with him.22. Why was it necessary to set up camp immediately after reaching the mountain top?A. It was almost night time.B. They were tired and needed to rest.C. The weather was changing.D. They needed protections from animals.A. He was inconsiderate of other’s feelings.B. He was an experienced and capable hiker.C. He had known the writer for a long time.D. He had not been to this mountain before.24. How did the author feel at the end of the story?A. O ptimistic.B. Satisfied.C. Scared.D. Disappointed.BAs any plane passenger will confirm (证实), a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. A baby’s cry pulls at the heartstrings in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.Researchers found that a baby’s cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them—whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response—suggesting the brain is progra mmed to respond specifically to a baby’ cry.A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds—roughly the time to blink (眨眼)—two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby’s cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women—even if they had no children.Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men sho uld just notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but it’s not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary (进化的) view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” The study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular cries, so this might be a basic response present in all of us regardless of parental status.Fellow researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recogn ize their own child’s cries because they need to do more “careful analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.25. A baby’s cry is difficult to ignore because it _____.A. cries harder than adultsB. makes people feel strong emotionsC. causes people great painD. keeps on crying26. The underlin ed word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.A. causeB. reduceC. avoidD. cure27. What may Christine Parsons agree to?A. Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.B. A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.C. Parents can hardly recognize their own babies’ cry.D. Almost everyone makes certain response to a baby’s cries.28. What’s the main idea of the text?B. How to recognize different babies’ cr ies.C. Why you can’t get a baby’s cry out of your head.D. Why a baby is easy and likely to cry.CLeaders in the aviation (航空) industry plan to launch a campaign (发起运动) that they hope will work against what they call a “Flight Shaming Movement” (FSM). They say FSM has weakened people’s demand for air travel in Europe. Some travelers there are increasingly concerned about the effects of flying on the environment. Activists have been calling for greater action against climate change. That includes avoiding air travel.FSM has affected air travel demand in many European countries, including Britain, France and Germany. The campaign will try to explain to the public how the industry is reducing its effect on the environment. Juniac, head of IATA, said FSM gave off “misleading information”.The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is organizing the plan through the Air Transport Action Group, a group of aviation industry organizations and companies. Juniac didn’t say when the campaign would start, but noted that details would be available to airports and airlines.Commercial flying is estimated to cause about 2.5% of worldwide carbon emissions (释放). However, that number could rise as worldwide air travel increases.The aviation industry says it has already cut carbon emissions by one-half since 1990. The improvements are mainly the result of aircraft that use fuel more effectively. The industry plans to cut emissions further by 2050. It has a goal of stopping the growth of carbon emissions by 2020.Airlines also have warned of the harmful effects of FSM. Some have criticized the industry for failing to explain itself. Tim Clark, president of the Airline Emirates, said that improvements in technology have reduced the environmental effects of passenger airplanes.29. What is FSM about?A. Weakening people’s demand to travel abroad.B. Calling on all to fight against global warming.C. Announcing the environmental harm of flying.D. Scaring people from approaching the airport.30. How does Juniac comment on FSM?A. Airlines will charge the movement for their loss.B. It ignores the efforts of airlines to reduce pollution.C. Airlines are to blame for the cause of it.D. It has positive effects in urging airlines to be green.31. What conclusion can we draw from the fifth paragraph?A. The effective use of fuel has made air travel greener.B. FSM has caused great loss for aviation industry.C. With more passengers, carbon emissions by planes may rise.32. What is the text mainly about?A. Improvement of air quality since FSM.B. Measures by aviation industry to reduce pollution.C. Trav elers’ inconvenience caused by FSM.D. Disapproval of aviation industry against FSM.第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 共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。

2020-2021学年福建省师大附中高一上期中考试英语卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search suggests plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex （复杂的）and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, we’ll become more intelligent.The idea got across to the public, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was no t just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart’s music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.I’ll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.1．What can we learn from paragraph 1?A．Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.B．Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.C．There ar e few products on the Internet about Mozart’s music.D．There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect.2．The underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggests that ________.A．the idea was accepted by many peopleB．people were strongly against the ideaC．Mozart played an important part in people’s lifeD．the US government helped promote the idea3．What is the author’s attitude towards the Mozart effect?A．Favorable. B．Objective. C．Positive. D．Doubtful. 4．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Listening to Mozart, necessary?B．What music is beneficial?C．What is the Mozart effect?D．To accept Mozart or not to?Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new material that can move heat out of buildings and send it into space. The researchers say the material can cool buildings even on hot days. The cooling material is a very thin sheet with many layers that could be placed on a roof like solar panels (板). However, instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do, the material turns heat into radiation.Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. He says that the panels have a layer of material that is like sand. The panels act like a mirror. They take heat out of buildings and reflect the light from the sun. And he says both the heat and sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space. It’s a structure that cools itself without electricity input, even under the sun. So, what it does is basically radiate heat to outer space and also reflect the sunlight so it doesn’t get heated up by the sun. Mr. Fan says it is like having a window into space. The heat is sent directly into space without warming the air.He says buildings in developing countries that do not have electricity or air conditioning could use the panels. “In areas where electricity is out of reach for many people, there is a significant potential benefit for storing medicine or even food. In many of these situations, being able to reduce the temperature is important. And this would p rovide a way to do it.”The researchers say the main problem is creating actual cooling systems using thehigh-tech panels. They say it may be possible to develop a cooling spray (喷涂) that could be used on existing solid structures. They believe the cooling spray technology could be developed in the next three to five years. They say as much as 15 percent of the energy used in the United States is spent providing power to air conditioning systems.5．The first paragraph mainly tells us .A．living on hot days is no longer a big problem nowB．new material is created to cool the buildingsC．researchers are developing new solar panels on roofsD．the new material is a very thin sheet with many layers6．How does the panel work?A．It absorbs the heat and cools it down.B．It uses a mirror to reflect the sunlight.C．It sends heat away right into space.D．It has a window to let out the heat.7．The new material is especially useful in areas that .A．suffer high temperature B．have poor air conditioningC．have plenty of food D．are short of power8．What can you infer from the passage?A．The appliance of the new panel is still under research.B．Some people got benefits from producing the panels.C．People may have problems in using the new material.D．The new panels may save 15 percent of the energy.There have been big changes in the attitudes of most parents over the last few years. Physical punishment is banned(被禁止) in schools in most countries, and in many countries, there are moves to ban all physical punishment of children even at home. However, many parents still believe that they have the right to use some physical punishments to deal with certain misbehavior at certain ages.It’s easy to find reasons to allow some physical punishments. One issue is tha t many parents find it very difficult to give up physical punishment completely. Parents argue that this was the way they were brought up and that it didn’t do any harm to them. They believe that for the child’s sake they have the right to discipline (惩罚) the child in any way they consider fit, including using some physical punishments. The other one is that physical punishment can be quick and effective. There is not much point reasoning with a screaming child in the supermarket.However, there are several reasons why we should stop using physical punishment. One pointis that most parents are not trained to deal with misbehaving children. They don’t have enough resources or choices to handle the situation. As a result, they immediately react by hitting the child even if there are other solutions to the problem. Another point is that unless people are challenged or forced to change their belief, they may keep following negative habits. An example is seat belt use — now most people wear seat belts without thinking, while years ago the idea of using seat belts was strange to most people. In the same way, banning physical punishment will force people to change their habits.In conclusion, parents have to change some of their belief and ideas about how children should be raised. It is possible to avoid the use of physical force, and doing so will help us move closer to the dream of removing violence from our society.9．According to the first paragraph, many parents think that ________.A．most of the children behave badly in their daily lifeB．they have changed their attitudes towards their childrenC．physical punishment is effective to educate their childrenD．they are free to use physical punishment on their children10．Many parents won’t give up physical punishme nt because ________.A．they are disappointed with their childrenB．they don’t want to hurt their children badlyC．they were brought up just in the same wayD．they don’t know what to do with their children11．The author gives the example of using seat belts in order to show ________.
