How will Ai-Da do when you get very close to her？______A. Keep still．B. Step back．C. Run away．D. Speak aloud．2. Which of the following is Ai-Da good at？______A. Taking care of the old．B. Communicating with persons．C. Doing housework．D. Making up like humans．3. What may be the best title for the text？______A. Ai-Da，a Creative RobotB. Meller，a Great EngineerC.

What did the new study focus on？______A. The benefit of jog．B. People's lifestyles．C. People's living conditions．D. The popularity of jog．5. What will the study contribute to according to Jim？______A. Doctors' quicker treatment．B. People's losing weight．C. People's involvement in running．D. Researchers' promotion of sport．6. What does the underlined word "wary" in paragraph 5 mean？______A. Certain．B. Tired．C. Cautious．D. Confident．Light pollution is blocking a starry view of the night sky for more than half of people across England，a research has found．Fifty-seven percent of stargazers （观星者）struggled to see more than 10 stars，while just 2% of participants said they experienced a truly dark sky making them be able to count more than 30，9 according to the research by the Campaign to Protect Rural England （CPRE）．People in the countryside were encouraged to count how many stars they could see with eyes within the constellation （星座）of Orion，which is visible only in the winter months．Campaigners said the results of the star count，supported by the British Astronomical Association，showed the problem of light pollution and how itaffected one of the countryside's most magical sights-a dark，starry night sky．They said the results of the research to map England's night skies suggested more could be done by the government，local councils and the general public to reduce the negative effects of artificial light from streets and buildings．Emma Marrington，dark skies campaigner at the CPRE，said "We're hugely grateful to the people who took the time to get out and take part in our star count．But it's deeply disap-pointing that the vast majority were unable to experience the natural wonder of a truly dark sky blanketed with stars．Without any action，our night sky will continue to be lost under a covering of artificial light，ruining the health of the natural world．"She added："The star count results show just how far-reaching the light from street lights and buildings can be seen．Light doesn't respect boundaries，and careless use can see it spread for miles from cities．"She suggested better-designed lighting，street light dimming （暗淡）systems and part- night lighting where some street lights are turned off during the small hours should provide an opportunity to limit the damage caused by light pollution，reduce carbon emissions and save money．7.

英语试卷一、阅读理解 (本大题共10小题，共25.0分)Better known by his stage name Kun，Cai Xukun is，without a doubt，one of the most popular stars in China．On July 26，the 21-year-old dropped his new single Young．Within just 20 seconds，it reached 1 million views and in only 3 days topped the music charts of Tencent's QQ music．Cai wrote the song by himself to share his understanding of modern-day youth．The singer has mixed R&B with electronic music to make his new beat cheerful．One reviewer wrote on QQ Music："When you listen to the song，you just seem to go back to youth again．"August 2 is Cai's birthday，and the song was a gift to himself．The singer hopes that he can always have the courage to follow his love of music，ignoring what anyone says．"My works are like my children and I have put my best effort into them．I want every piece of my work to have my own spirit in it．I feel more enjoyment when I am performing my own work．" He told the Global Times．To find new inspiration，Kun attends different kinds of musical performances-from festivals to opera houses．"I just like to do everything，all for my music，all for my art，" he told i-D．With talent and dedication（专注）to music，Cai is expected by many to make his mark in the competitive Chinese music industry．1. What do we know about KUN's newest single？______A. It has earned two millionsales．B. It makes people feel energetic．C. It is a birthday gift to a friend of his．D. It combines jazz and electronic music．2. What can we learn from KUN's words？______A. He gains great satisfaction from creating music．B. He prefers singing songs to writing them．C. He wants his every piece of work liked by everyone．D. He is preparing another new single．3. Which of the following would best describe KUN？______A. Courageous and patientB. Talented and humorousC. Hardworking and creativeD. Optimistic and generousPeople in Japan tend to live longer and stay healthier in their later years，with an increasing number of old people living alone．Japan is on a fast track to "ultra-age" with people aged 65 or above accounting for 28 percent of its total population in 2017；it was 26.7 percent in 2015．On the other hand，the number of births in 2017 fell to its lowest （about 941，000）since records began in 1899．Demand for care services for elderly people has boomed．A shrinking working population means fewer able-bodied adults are available to look after the elderly．There is a shortage of state-provided elderly care facilities （养老院），while private ones are expensive．Any elderly people do not have the heart to burden other family members who may not live nearby．So they choose to live alone，and often die alone．The country will be short of 380，000 of health nurses by 2025．The government has to turn to advanced robots to meet the shortage．Now about 5，000 nursing homes are testing robots which assist the elderly with a lot of physical issues，even emotional and psychological issues．A study found that using robots encouraged one third of the people to become more active and independent．Yet there is no robot that can provide the emotional support to the elderly by listening to their need，taking care of them and in general making their twilight year （暮年）happy．Japan provides a case study for China，which is too faced with a fast aging population．17.23 million babies were born in China in 2017，about 630，000 fewer than in 2016．people aged 60 accounted for 17.3% of China's population in 2017．With insufficient elderly care facilities and unbalanced supply，China may find it tough to cope with the rapidly increasing number of senior citizens．To meet the challenge，the Chinese government should make policy changes，which Japan is unwilling or unable to do or even consider．China should pay attention to the signals its aging population is sending and take proper and timely action．4. What do you learn about the old Japanese？______A. More and more Japanese choose to live on their own．B. A lot of old Japanese have to continue working at old age．C.

By 2025，the Japanese government will have brought in advanced robots to completely replace nurses．D. Robots can make the elderly people more active and independent by providing emotional support to make their twilight year happy．6. What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs？______A. Japan has set a good example for China to cope with aging population．B. China is never too late to deal with its aging population．C. China is now faced with a fast aging population．D. Japan's aging population is a timely lesson for China．For years，Chris Scharoun DeForge had a Valentine's Day routine．She celebrated like clockwork with her husband Paul Scharoun DeForge．On Valentine's Day they would go out to eat，maybe at Red Lobster or Olive Garden．They were celebrating each other．But this year's Valentine's Day may be the most unusual one yet．That's because it is their 25th as husband and wife，a landmark that would be significant for most couples but it's extraordinary for the Scharoun DeForges．They were both born with Down syndrome and are believed to be the longest married couple with the condition in the country．At the time of their wedding，some folks believed that people like them didn't have the emotional maturity to be married．Chris，who as a girl used to cut wedding photos from magazines and hang them on her wall knew better．"I looked into his eyes and saw my future，" Chris said about falling in love with Paul when they first met at a dance 30 years ago．Still，they have had their struggles．And the most recent one may be the most monumental （极大的）．This year's Valentine's Day is the first on which they won't be living together．Paul，54，is coping with early stage dementia，an illness that affects many with his condition at a relatively young age．Several months ago，the state moved him into a community residence （住处）with intensive nursing care while Chris still lives in their cozy apartment in Liverpool．Of course Chris doesn't want to be without him．Their family worked hard to keep them together．They even found a new apartment that met the state'sstandards．At first，the state agreed-a huge victory-but Paul's conditionround-the-clock care．The state decided he needed to move to the facility after all．The couple is disappointed but not scared．Chris visits Paul regularly and they spend weekends together．Chris's sister said they had an unconditional and sweet love．7.

安徽省桐城中学2019-2020学年高二第四次周练英语试题一、阅读理解 (本大题共15小题，共30.0分)How to make friendsChoosing friendsBefore you make friends，you have to decide who you want to be your friends．Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things as they do．That doesn't mean you have to be exactly like each other，just，that you enjoy some of the same things．Think about your favorite things to do and try to talk to your classmates at lunch or rest about your hobbies．You are sure to find at least one person who's excited about the same things that excite and interest you，too．Making friends●The quickest way to make a friend is to smile．When you smile，people think you are friendly and easy to talk to．It may not be easy at first to smile．But you can practice smiling in front of a mirror．When you look at yourself in the mirror，think if you'd rather talk to your smiling face or your usual scared or angry face．●One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about them．Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you．Doesn't it make you want to talk to him？●Ask your new friends questions about themselves．It's the only way to get to know what they're like and it's the only way they'll know that you are interested in them．●Make sure you have something to add to the conversation，too．When someone asks you a question，do have an answer for them．There is nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug（耸肩）for an answer．ActivitiesAfter you've made a friend who shares the same interests with you，it's always fun to plan activities together that you'll both enjoy．Inviting a friend to your house after school is a great way to make your friendship closer．If you know a game your friend likes to play，you can plan to do that together．When you play a computer game，one person is always left sitting with nothing to do but watch．Not fun．1. Before you make friends with someone，make sure ______ ．A. both of you are exactly like each otherB. both of you enjoy some of the same interestsC. you have talked to him or her at lunch or rest about your hobbiesD. you have little in common with each other2. When you want to make friends with someone，you should do all the following except ______ ．A. smiling at him or her beforetalkingB. starting a conversation firstC. asking some questions about him or herD. giving a shrug instead of an answer3. To make your friendship last long，you shouldn't ______ ．A. do something that interests both of you togetherB. invite your friend to your house at weekendsC. be always doing something by yourself with your friend left doing nothingD. play basketball together in your free time．One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend．"One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that，with a few important exceptions，mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states．" said Neville Alexander，Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town．In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from immigration，many countries have introduced language laws in the last decade．In some，the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters．One of the first such legal provisions（规定）was the 1994 "Toubon law" in France，and the idea has been copied in many countries since then．Such efforts to govern language use are often considered as futile by language experts，who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process．It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the "purity" of a language by law．Since the time of Shakespeare，English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language．English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world，but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority andpower．Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things．English has never had a state-controlled authority for the language，similar，for example，to the Academic Francaise in France．The need to protect national languages is，for most western Europeans，a recent phenomenon-------especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields．Public communication，education and new ways of communication promoted by technology，may be key fields to defend．4. Neville Alexander believes that ______ ．A. mother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countriesB. globalization has resulted in the economic failure of AfricaC. globalization has led to the rise of multi-language trendD. lack of mother-tongue education can lead to economicfailure5. The underlined word "futile" （in paragraph 2）most probably means " ______ "．A. workableB. practicalC. uselessD. unnecessary6. What can we infer from the last paragraph？______A. English has taken over fields like public communication and education．B. Many aspects of national culture are threatened by thespread of English．C. Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language．D. Europeans have long realized the need to protect a nationallanguage ．7. The best title for the passage is ______ ．A. Fighting against the rule of EnglishB. Protecting local languages and identitiesC. Globalization and multi-language trendD. To maintain the purity of language by law The brain is a remarkable part ． It's responsible for thoughts andfeelings ． Now a new study finds that going through tough times as a kid also can have an impact ． The adult brains of people who lived through lots of stress before the age of six-and then became depressed or anxious as teenagers-were different compared with adults who had an easier childhood ． It seems that teens changed the shape of their brains by internalizing （使内在化） the stresses experienced years earlier ．Researchers already knew that the shape and size of a child's brain can change in response to lots of stress ． They also knew that adults were more likely to be depressed if ， as kids ， they'd lived in poverty ． Some studies showed that these depressed adults had unusual changes in their brain shape ． But no one had tested if the early stress and later brain changes were linked ．Scientists in England studied almost 500 boys from birth until the ages of 18 to21．Sarah Jensen is one of the new study's authors ． Almost all of the boys her team studied experienced some hard times as kids ． And ， she concludes ， "This is not necessarily harmful ．" To some extent ， that's just life ． What can be dangerous ， she says ， is when children experience too many forms of difficulties ． Her team's new data suggest that the tougher the childhood ， the stronger the impact on the brain might be ．What's happening in the world around us relates to how we feel ．Her team linked more childhood stress to more depression ．Still ， she notes ， it's possible that if you find support for anxiety or depression ， you might be able to prevent the changes seen here ．"If you can change the environment ， you can change the course of things ．" Sarah says ． So ， she recommends ， if teens develop anxiety or depression ， it's good to ask for psychological doctors to give advice ．8. When people had a hard childhood ， ______ ．A. they will have a brave attitude to lifeB. their way of thinking may be strangeC. they will be good at dealingD. the shape of their brain may bewith stress changed9. What is the breakthrough of the new research？______A. The size of the brain can change．B. The brain can be influenced by stress．C. Poverty can affect the brain's shape in future．D.

安徽省桐城市2019-2020学年高二英语考试试题一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题，共25.0分)Can robots be creative？ British art gallery owner Aidan Meller thinks so． He hopes to begin answering that question with a robot called Ai-Da． Meller is watching the building of all Ai-Da's parts by engineers at Engineered Arts， a company based in Cornwall， England． The engineers believe the robot will be able to make pictures of people from sight with a writing instrument in her hand． Meller wants the robot to perform like a human artist．After seeing Ai-Da's head being carefully brought to life by specialists who were connecting individual hairs to form eyebrows， Meller said， "She's going to actually be drawing and we're hoping to then build technology for her to paint． " But also as a performing artist， "she'll be able to communicate with audiences and actually get messages across， asking those questions about technology today，" he added．Ai-Da's robotic head may still be separate from her body， but her movements are very alive． Cameras in each of her eyeballs recognize human body parts． Ai-Da will make eye contact and follow you around the room， opening and closing her mouth as you do． If you get too close， the robot will back away， closing and then opening her eyes as if in shock．The specialists are using the company's Mesmer lifelike robot technology to create her head． Once finished， Ai-Da will have a mixed-race appearance， with long dark hair and man made skin． The teeth and skin inside her mouth will come from a 3-D printer． Marcus Hold works at Engineered Arts． He said Mesmer "brings together the development of software mechanics and electronics to produce a lifelike face with lifelike gestures in a small human sized package．"Ai-Da will make her first public appearance at an exhibition called "Unsecured Futures" at the University of Oxford． Some of her pictures are expected to appear at another show in London later this year．1. How will Ai-Da do when you get very close to her？ ______A. Keep still．B. Step back．C. Run away．D. Speak aloud．2. Which of the following is Ai-Da good at？ ______A. Taking care of the old．B. Communicating with persons．C. Doing housework．D. Making up like humans．3. What may be the best title for the text？ ______A. Ai-Da， a Creative RobotB. Meller， a Great EngineerC. Ai-Da Makes Painting EasierD. Meller Helps Robot ClevererAre you wondering whether it's worth going for a little jog？ Don't hesitate，and get your sports shoes on． A new study shows that proper running lowers the risk of death before the normal time．In a survey of 14 previous studies from the US and Denmark ， the group of researchers from institutes in Australia and Finland concluded that running would probably lead to improvements in population health and longevity （长寿）．Thestudies involved 232，149 participants over time periods ranging from 5.5 to 35 years．On the whole， people running any distance were related with a 27% lower risk of death from all causes than those who did not， the study shows． Running was also related with a 30% and 23% lower risk of death from cardiovascular （心血管的）disease and cancer．Previous studies had concluded "inconsistent findings" about whether running could lower the risk of death before the normal time， according to the researchers． Lead researcher Jim White， a professor at Victoria University in Melbourne， told CNN： "Our recent findings may encourage physically inactive individuals to take up running and those who already run to keep on doing it．" He added that doctors may be encouraged by our findings to promote running as a part of "lifestyle medicine"． In their paper， which will be published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine ， the researchers say health professionals are sometimes wary of promoting running because vigorous （剧烈的）use of it has been linked with sudden heart death．Jim and his team deny this by noting that the benefit of running outweighs the risk． However， they did say advice should be given on a case - by - case basis，as running might not be appropriate for everyone． Although running has a clear health benefit， the researchers point out that higher "doses" of running may not reduce the risk of death further． According to the WHO s guidelines， adults aged between 18 and 64 should take 150 minutes of gentle exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week．4. What did the new study focus on？ ______A. The benefit of jog．B. People's lifestyles．C. People's living conditions．D. The popularity of jog．5.

It prevents the people seeing stars．8. What causes the light pollution according to the text？ ______A. More and more buildings．B. Less and less outdoor activities．C.

How extreme feelings affect our bodies．Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital's emergency department．No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve，so the shift（轮班）went to me．I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital．It was a thankless job．At 9 p．m．，the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack．His face was pale，and he was frightened．The whole night I did my best to save his life．Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family，I stopped by to see how he was doing．It was still tough，but he had survived the night and was sleeping．The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again．At 9 p．m．sharp，the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me．When I approached them，the man introduced himself as Mr．Lee and said，"You probably don't remember me，but last Christmas Eve you saved my life．Thank you for the year you gave me．" He and his wife hugged me，handed me a small gift，and left．The following year a new doctor had joined the group ， but I wanted to see if Mr ．and Mrs ．Lee would return ． This time ， I volunteered for the shift ． I kept an eye on the door ． Once again ， at exactly 9 p ．m ．， the Lees appeared ， carrying a warmly wrapped bundle ． It was their new grandchild ． Mr ．Lee ， his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together ．The last year I saw him ， he brought me a gift ． I carefully opened the package and found a crystal bell inside ． It was carved with a single word ：Friendship ． Now ， my family ， friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exact 9 p ．m ． and offer our best wishes to the man who we won't forget ．4.

To fill her family and friends with hopes ．6. What could be the best title for the passage ？ ______A. A KindCouple B. A Severe Heart Attack C. A thankless task D. A Special AppointmentAs a child ， visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat ． I didn't find the chimps' tea parties funny ， nor the bird shows entertaining ． Feeding time for seals was less painful ， but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus ．And I hated circuses ， especially the animal acts-men teasing lions ， girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football ． I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural ， achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty ．Happily ， during my lifetime public attitudes and the law havechanged ． Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct ， and zoos have definitely evolved ．When my children were young ， I occasionally took them to our local zoo ． Theelephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors．Each cage had a sign which listed the animal's name and where it came from．But back then，there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced．As a result，environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos．"Animals belong in the wild，" is a common and understandable complaint．But what do the animals themselves prefer？Generally speaking，zoo animals have a longer life．But-you may protest-they are not free．What？Free to be hunted and killed，free to die of hunger or thirst？Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn't so bad．Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos，due to the work of BIAZA，the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums．These days every zoo requires BIAZA's approval to operate，and the association sets the standards，observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programs，both in the UK and abroad．BIAZA also organizes the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world．Consequently，today，most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos，live in large，comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained，knowledgeable and caring zoo employees．Of course it's no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn't always possible．Meanwhile，why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself？7. The passage is mainly about ______ ．A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closeddownC. a new environmental organizationD. the difference between zoos and circuses8. From Paragraph 2，we can guess that the writer believes circus animals ______ ．A. had much shorter lives than those in the wildB. were not treated well by their trainersC. should have been placed in zoosD. were not as intelligent as those in zoos9. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA？______A. Organizing animal study projects and training zoo workers．B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges．C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations．D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards．10. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with？______A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild．B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past．C. Zoo animals are more restricted now than in the past．D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals．二、阅读七选五 (本大题共5小题，共10.0分)If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed!

安徽省桐城中学2019-2020学年高二第五次周练英语试题一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题，共25.0分)The summer I turned 16， my father gave me his car --- a gift wasted on me at that age． The important thing was that Hannah and I could drive around．Hannah was my best friend， a year younger but much taller， almost five foot ten． "Hannah's a knockout，" my mother always said． And that summer she signed with a modeling agency． She was already doing runway work．A month after my birthday， Hannah and I went to the movies． On the way home， we stopped at the McDonald's drive-through， putting the fries on the seat between us to share． "Let's ride around a while，" I said． It was a clear night， full moon slung low over the desert． Taking a turning too fast， I plowed （撞）through a neighbor's wall and drove into a full-grown tree．We were taken in separate ambulances． I'd cracked（使裂开）my cheek bone； Hannah's forehead had split wide open． End of her modeling career． What would I say to her？When her mother， Sharon， came into my hospital room， I started to cry． She sat beside me and took my hand． "I rear-ended（追尾） my best friend when I was your age， "she said， "I totaled her car and mine．""I'm so sorry．" I said．"You're both alive，" she said， "The rest is window dressing． I forgive you． Hannah will too．"Sharon's forgiveness allowed Hannah and me to stay friends throughout high school and college，to be at each other's weddings …The scars are so faded that no one else would notice， but in the sunlight I can still see it just below her hairline --- for me， a mark of grace （优雅）．1. Why did the author think her father's present was a waste？______A. It wasn't necessary for her．B. She had already owned a car．C. Her family was very poor then．D. She didn't have a driving license．2. What did the author and her friend do after leaving the movies？______A. They went for a drive．B. They enjoyed beautiful scenery．C. They made a visit to a neighbor．D. They worked at the Mcdonald．3. What is the best title for the text？ ______A. A valuable gift from my father．B. The meaning of friendship．C. An unforgettable journey．D. The gift of forgiveness．If you make a list of the top ten most challenging jobs in the world，chances are that being a teacher will not make the cut． Let's think about their complex task millions of educators face each day as they try to teach a group of often unfriendly， disorderly kids into intelligent， well-rounded individuals． That surely has to be the toughest job in the world， especially taking into consideration that there is no promotion waiting for them even if they are wildly successful!What if these all-important individuals that we often take for granted disappear from our lives？ That was what Project Ed and Participant Media's teaching campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to envision for their recently-held contest．Their short films were called "A World without Teachers"， whose intention was to inspire more young people to becometeachers． However， the 62 amazing video submissions （提交物） also serve as a reminder of how terrible things would be if we didn't have these selfless individuals guiding us through life． What was interesting is that even the youngest contestants didn't accept the idea that there's no person to tell them what to do．High-school student Savannah Wakefield considered if art as we know today would have been different without teachers．Would C． Monet have discovered his talent for impressionism？Miles Horst who won the 1，000-dollar prize for the best adult submission imagines a world where teachers are replaced by a "brain box"． Youth group winner Marina Barham's video describes a fact we all know but often forget． Teachers don't just teach； they inspire-something that no electronic device， no matter how smart，can do!So the next time you think your teacher is being "troublesome" fortrying to channel you in the right direction， imagine a life without him/her．4. Project Ed and Participant Media's teaching campaign asked contestants to ______ ．A. inspire more young people to become teachersB. point out which teacher has inspired them mostC. imagine what the world would be like without teachersD. describe what effect teachers would have on their life5. What is suggested in the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4？______A. Monet is regarded as the father of impressionism．B. Monet's great success was connected with his teachers．C. Monet's teachers made a great contribution to modern art．D. Monet was good at discovering his students' talent for drawing．6. What does Marina Barham's video tell us？ ______A. Teachers prefer to inspire their students instead of teaching．B. The role of teachers cannot be replaced by anything else．C. The function of teachers cannot be forgotten by the world．D. Teachers often show the right direction to their students．From ancient stories to modern researches， the label（标签）attached to being left-handed is undeniable． Left-handed people， or "lefties" as they are often called， are generally believed to be good at art - Leonardo da Vinci， Picasso and Michelangelo are all left-handed．Our brain is divided into two parts： the left hemisphere（大脑半球）and the right hemisphere． The left hemisphere， linked to logic and analysis， is responsible for the right side of the body． The right hemisphere， linked to creativity and imagination， controls the left side of the body． So， people tend to believe lefties are controlled by the right side of the brain， and are more creative thanright-handers． Some also think that lefties may not be as good as right-handers in mathematics and problem-solving skills．However， a recent study carried out by scientists from the University of Liverpool in the UK and the University of Milan in Italy proved this theory wrong． The study involved（涉及）more than 2，300 students in Italy aged between 6 and 17 years old． They were asked to complete several mathematical tasks of different levels． It turned out that the left-handers outperformed the others when the tasks involved difficult problem-solving． This pattern was particularly clear in male adolescents． However， when it came to simple arithmetic（算术）， there was no difference between left-handers andright-handers．It was also discovered that those who are "severely" right-handed performed less well in all the experiments compared to "medium" right-handers and left-handers．"Taken together， these findings show that handedness does influence abilities to some degree，" the study's authors wrote． However，"handedness is just an indirect expression of brain function，" wrote psychology professor Giovanni Sala from the University of Liverpool in the UK， the lead author of the study． Sala also noted that only one third of people with a highly-developed right side of the brain are left-handed． It means that there are lots of right-handed people with a similar brain function as left-handers．7. The author begins the text by ______ ．A. telling some ancient stories．B. giving examples of artworks．C. introducing a modern research．D. presenting conventional（传统的）wisdom．8. What is the main focus of paragraph 2？ ______A. Skills of solving problems．B. Ways of becoming creative．C. People's opinions of left-handers．D. The functions of two hemispheres．9. What can we learn from the recent study led by Giovanni Sala？______A. Handedness doesn't have any association with brain function．B. People with a highly-developed right hemisphere are most likely lefties．C. The "severely" right-handed are far better at simple arithmetic than lefties．D. Right-handers didn't perform as well as lefties when handling tough problems．10. The text is most probably taken from ______ ．A. a medical reportB. a sciencemagazineC. a biologytextbookD. an educationessay二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)Recently， crazy rich Asians are posting photos of themselves facing down and surrounded by luxury goods in a new trend sweeping social media．Falling down in public is embarrassing for most people． However， the new social media craze（时尚）called the "Falling Stars Challenge" has turned falling into something fun to do．The craze began in Russia．11 ． Items like handbags，accessories （配饰） and cash were spread out on the ground around them in the photos． People shared these photos to show off their wealth．The craze soon became popular around the world．12 ． People are using it to show off their hobbies and professional talent． The items in their pictures show what they do for a living and what they have achieved in their lives．13 ． For example， students fall down on textbooks and test papers． Police officers fall in front of their police cars with handcuffs （手铐） in their hands． Famous people are also taking the challenge． Writer Liu Tong took a fall with dozens of copies of his new book．More than 1.08 million Chinese have taken this challenge on Sina Weibo． Their pictures have been viewed more than 2.22 billion times． Internet users also comment on these posts．14 ． One Weibo user wrote： "This shows the positive energy of fighting and working hard． Applause for these young people!"However， some also think the craze is just another example of a successful internet meme （网络爆红）．15 ． What do you think？Will you try this challenge？A． They think people are just imitating others．B． Most of them speak highly of the craze．C． However， in China， it is taking on a new meaning．D． The challenge is particularly popular among young people．E． The biggest reason for the success of the challenge is simple．F． People from all walks of life are taking part in it．G． People posted pictures of themselves faking a fall．11.

安徽省安庆市桐城市2019-2020学年高二下学期4月周考英语试卷一、阅读理解 (本大题共10小题，共25.0分)Can robots be creative？British art gallery owner Aidan Meller thinks so．He hopes to begin answering that question with a robot called Ai-Da．Meller is watching the building of all Ai-Da's parts by engineers at Engineered Arts，a company based in Cornwall，England．The engineers believe the robot will be able to make pictures of people from sight with a writing instrument in her hand．Meller wants the robot to perform like a human artist．After seeing Ai-Da's head being carefully brought to life by specialists who were connecting individual hairs to form eyebrows，Meller said，"She's going to actually be drawing and we're hoping to then build technology for her to paint．" But also as a performing artist，"she'll be able to communicate with audiences and actually get messages across，asking those questions about technology today，" he added．Ai-Da's robotic head may still be separate from her body，but her movements are very alive．Cameras in each of her eyeballs recognize human body parts．Ai-Da will make eye contact and follow you around the room，opening and closing her mouth as you do．If you get too close，the robot will back away，closing and then opening her eyes as if in shock．The specialists are using the company's Mesmer lifelike robot technology to create her head．Once finished，Ai-Da will have a mixed-race appearance，with long dark hair and man made skin．The teeth and skin inside her mouth will come from a 3-D printer．Marcus Hold works at Engineered Arts．He said Mesmer "brings together the development of software mechanics and electronics to produce a lifelike face with lifelike gestures in a small human sized package．"Ai-Da will make her first public appearance at an exhibition called "Unsecured Futures" at the University of Oxford．Some of her pictures are expected to appear at another show in London later this year．1. How will Ai-Da do when you get very close to her？______A. Keep still．B. Step back．C. Run away．D. Speak aloud．2. Which of the following is Ai-Da good at？______A. Taking care of the old．B. Communicating with persons．C. Doing housework．D. Making up like humans．3. What may be the best title for the text？______A. Ai-Da，a Creative RobotB. Meller，a Great EngineerC. Ai-Da Makes Painting EasierD. Meller Helps Robot ClevererAre you wondering whether it's worth going for a little jog？Don't hesitate，and get your sports shoes on．A new study shows that proper running lowers the risk of death before the normal time．In a survey of 14 previous studies from the US and Denmark ，the group of researchers from institutes in Australia and Finland concluded that runningwould probably lead to improvements in population health and longevity （长寿）．The studies involved 232，149 participants over time periods ranging from 5.5 to 35 years．On the whole，people running any distance were related with a 27% lower risk of death from all causes than those who did not，the study shows．Running was also related with a 30% and 23% lower risk of death from cardiovascular （心血管的）disease and cancer．Previous studies had concluded "inconsistent findings" about whether running could lower the risk of death before the normal time，according to the researchers．Lead researcher Jim White，a professor at Victoria University in Melbourne，told CNN："Our recent findings may encourage physically inactive individuals to take up running and those who already run to keep on doing it．" He added that doctors may be encouraged by our findings to promote running as a part of "lifestyle medicine"．In their paper，which will be published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine ，the researchers say health professionals arebeen linked with sudden heart death．Jim and his team deny this by noting that the benefit of running outweighs the risk．However，they did say advice should be given on a case - by - case basis，as running might not be appropriate for everyone．Although running has a clear health benefit，the researchers point out that higher "doses" of running may not reduce the risk of death further．According to the WHO s guidelines，adults aged between 18 and 64 should take 150 minutes of gentle exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week．4.
