辽宁省凤城市第一中学2020学年高二英语12月月考试题答题时间：100分钟满分：150分第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThe Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to a woman for the first time in 55 years, and for only the third time in its history.Donna Strickland, a Canadian physicist, was awarded the 2020 prize together with Gérard Mourou, from France, for their work on generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses(超短光脉冲). They share the award with an American, Arthur Ashkin, who at 96 becomes the oldest Nobel Laureate, for developing “optical tweezers.”Both inventions had "revolutionized laser physics," the Royal Swedish Academy said. The announcement comes a day after a senior scientist at CERN was suspended(暂停) for saying that physics was invented and built by men.Strickland said the achievements of women scientists deserved recognition. "We need to celebrate women physicists because we’re out there. I’m honored to be one of those women," Strickland said by video link at a news conference following the announcement in Stockholm.Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, recognized for her co-discovery of radiation, followed by Maria Goeppert-Mayer in 1963 for discoveries about nuclear structure.Strickland said she thought there might have been more than three physics laureates, adding: "Hopefully, in time, it will start to move forward at afaster rate."Strickland and Mourou’s development of very short and intense laser pulses, known as "chirped pulse amplification," have made it possible to cut or drill holes in materials and living matter incredibly precisely. The technology they pioneered has led to corrective eye operations for millions of people.21. How many times have women won the Nobel Prize in Physics?A. OneB. ThreeC. TwoD. Never22. Who was the oldest person winning the Nobel Prize?A. Donna StricklandB. Gérard MourouC. Arthur AshkinD. Marie Curie23. What has Strickland and Mourou’s technology be en applied to?A. Making robotsB. Making laser productsC. Making vehiclesD. Eye operationsBBrian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform. He tries to "build a bridge" with things you know about, and then "bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics."Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected), time travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a million-dollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting? "Most of us believe that the universe makes sense," Greene said. Although there are several interesting theories about time travel, he added, the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox（悖论） is open for future physicists to solve.When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, "make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren't yet ready, perhaps, to learn math."When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. "The basic stuff is important," Greene said. "But I think it's really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang. If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details．"Greene has followed Albert Einstein's lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Now he wants kids to do the same. As Greene said, physics is "not just a matter of solving problems in an exam." It's about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena（现象）-- and having fun!24. A million-dollar question in paragraph 2 is probably very ________ . .A . direct B. difficult C. personal D. long25. The books by Weinberg and Susskind __________ .A. are boring to readB. are mainly about mathC. are popular science booksD.are only popular among kids26. According to Paragraph 4, which of the following does Greene agree with?A .Modern physics is a boring subject.B. Interest plays an important role in studying.C. It is not necessary to learn all about physics.D. It is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang.27. In the last paragraph, Greene hopes that____________ .A. kids can love science and physicsB. kids can do well in physics examsC. kids can have fun with experimentsD. kids can find more strange things in lifeCIn the early times, the music industry was terrified of taping, thinking that customers would just copy music, or record from the radio. But that never really happened, at least not enough to cause any real hardship to anyone in the music business.The same argument arose over technologies like miniDisc and recordable CDs. But the thing that terrified the music industry more than anything else was the arrival of services like Napster, which allowed people to share music over the Internet without costing them anything. The music industry was shocked: it saw people exchanging digital copies that didn’t degrade（降级）with each transfer, something that kept tapes from being a huge threat. But it wasn't the Internet that killed the music industry. In fact, everything is still looking optimistic for many musicians. Taylor Swift has had a good year, and her latest album is likely to be making her very wealthy indeed. And that won’t change in all likelihood, not for Swift, and not for those who come after her. There is always going to be public demand for music. However, the technology will simply destroy the record company. The reason is simple. Record companies are a man in the middle that simply doesn’t need to exist anymore. The same way we buy our flights directly did get our shopping online and have things delivered from Amazon instead of going to a local shop. We have always been willing to enjoy cost reductions at the expense of the middleman and the record companies are that kind of middleman.What does the record industry offer? Well, surprisingly little these days. It used to be the case that record companies would go and find new talents. Of course this still happens, but more likely is that an artist will be discovered by the public through YouTube, or even from friends on Facebook or Twitter. Record companies also used to have an important role in producing the music. But countless artists are making their own way through software or any of the other amazing music development apps, without any help from the record companies.28.Why didn’t tape copying become a serious danger to the music industry?A. It was hard to transfer.B. It was strictly controlled.C. It didn’t save much money.D. It was replaced by miniDisc and recordable CDs.29.The example of Taylor Swift is used to prove that______.A. the demand for music is on the increase due to the InternetB. the sales of albums are badly affected by the InternetC. the Internet doesn’t have a destructive effect on the music industryD. the musicians make a great fortune via the Internet30.The record companies will suffer most because________.A. they are in the middle way and block the development of the music industry.B. the record industry can offer nothing to usC. people prefer to cut down the expenses at the cost of the record companiesD. the public pay more attention to Facebook or Twitter第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

VTech Touch & Swipe Baby PhoneBNASA is launching its latest spacecraft this week, the Parker Solar Probe(探测器). The robotic craft will fly closer to the Sun than any man-made object has ever been before, sending back invaluable new data on the star’sproperties(特性) and atmospheric conditions over a seven-year period. The project is named in honour of American physicist Eugene Parker who first put forward the theory on the nature of solar winds in 1958.The probe will be attached to a rocket and sent into space from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on the morning of Saturday 11 August. The rocket is second only to spaceX’s Falcon Heavy in terms of power. It will travel at a speed of 125 miles a second on the way, making it one of the fastest ever built. It is scheduled to use the gravity of Venus on October 2nd this year—slowing its approach and allowing greater control—and hit the first perihelion (the point in its orbit when it is closest to the Sun) by November 5th. On arrival, the Parker Solar Probe will orbit around the Sun 24 times until late 2025, each complete orbit taking 88 days, passing at a distance of 3.83 million miles from the Sun’s surface on its closest approach.Specifically, the project is intended to gather new information on “space weather” conditions that influence the earth, what causes solar winds to accelerate and behave as they do and what causes the huge eruptions astronomers have observed. “We don’t have a strong understanding of the mechanisms that drive that wind towards us, and that’s what we’re heading out to discover,” said project scientist Dr. Nicky Fox of the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.4. The passage probably came out__________________.A. On August 11th, 2018.B. On October 2nd, 2018C. On August 6th, 2018.D. On November 5th, 20185. From the second paragraph, we can know _______________.A. The rocket to which the probe will be attached is more powerful than SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy.B. The probe will be the closest to the sun in 2025.C. The probe will travel at a speed of 7,500 miles per minute on the way.D. The probe will travel slow and then speed up a bit.6. The project is named the “Parker Solar Probe”_________________.A. In honor of the designer of the probe.B. To honor a pioneer in the field.C. In memory of the place of the launch.D. To mark a special occasion.7. One of the objectives of the launch is ____________________.A. to observe the earth at a distance.B. to supervise the activities of astronomers.C. to explore solar winds.D. to accelerate solar winds.CHeart attacks can affect anyone, but are especially threatening for women. Not only do the symptoms appear differently in women, but a new study suggests the gender of the medical provider who treats a woman having a heart attack may mean the difference between life and death.Research published this week found that a woman is more likely to survive a heart attack if she receives care from a female emergency room doctor. The study was based on 582,000 patients in Florida hospitals from 1991 to 2010. Alarmingly, the study showed that women patients were less likely to survive heart attacks than male patients, and that the largest gap in survival rates between genders occurred under male doctors.Among heart attack patients treated by women doctors, 11.8 percent of men died compared with 12 percent of women---a relatively small disparity. But the gap was larger for heart attack patients under the care of male doctors. In that group, 12.6 percent of men died and 13.3 percent of women died. The data took into account factors such as race, age and medical history.The finding “suggest that having training programs that are more gender-neutral, or showing how men and women might present sympt oms differently, could improve outcomes for female patients,” Seth Carnahan, one ofthe study’s authors, said in a statement.One of the main factors affecting the quality of care that women patients receive is communication with their doctors, according t o Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a fellow of the American Heart Association. “What I tell all women is that they need to really understand that how they communicate is the most important thing,” said Steinbaum. “If they believe that they’re having a heart issue or are unsure of what’s going on, it becomes important for them to say ‘I think it might be my heart,’ because then the doctor will look for problem with it.”Effective communication is a vital part of receiving quality treatment, but the study also highlights a need for doctors to change the way they treat women’s medical symptoms. Research shows many doctors really don’t take women’s pain seriously.8. After analyzing data from 582,000 patients, what did the researchers find?A. female doctors knew about heart attacks better.B. women patients preferred to be treated by female doctors.C. women were better at working as emergency room doctors.D. female doctors could help women heart attack victims better.9. What does the underlined word “disparity” in Para graph 3 mean?A. comparisonB. differenceC. disagreementD. increase10.According to Seth Carnahan, what do the findings of the study suggest?A. more female doctors should be employed.B. the medical history of patients should be referred to.C. male doctors should receive more training than female ones.D. training programs on heart attack treatment should be improved.11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. to show findings of a new medical study.B. to warn male doctors of potential risks.C. to encourage people to trust doctors.D. to talk about heat attacks.DFor the latter part of the 1900s, most alcohol advertising on TV was banned. During this time, the number of minors(未成年人) drinking alcohol declined. Several years ago the ban was lifted and alcohol ads returned to television. Since then the number of minors drinking alcohol has grown.A study conducted by the University of California Berkley shows that alcohol ads increase the abuse of alcohol, positive attitudes to it, and consumption of it in minors. Congressman Wolfe from Virginia also finds that alcohol advertising increases drunk driving and alcohol abuse in under-age individuals. A survey completed in California and South Dakota schools finds that teens that are frequently exposed to alcohol advertising often begin consuming it in the next year or so.Adolescence is a time of brain development when anything that provides a thrill, like alcohol, is an attraction. And minors drink alcohol mainly to be like their friends. From a very early age, children want to fit in. Other than socializing, some doing that just try to cope with problems or stress. However, drinking alcohol will bring about many problems. Getting rid of these ads would lessen the under-age individua ls’ urges to consume or abuse alcohol.The companies who produce the ads say they target audiences well into adulthood by using older actors. They call it “Responsible Advertising”. The truth is that these companies well know that their ads are played in front of minors. They even try to appeal to teens by using music, animals, and humor which according to several studies are all the things that under-age individuals respond to in an advertisement. Do these companies really believe that simply stating “consume responsibly” and showing no visible consumption of alcohol really cover their actual intentions?After all these studies and surveys are taken into account, one conclusion is clear: the companies who make the ads know very well that they are supporting underage drinking and alcohol abuse. People can stand up against these companies by addressing Congress to take action and re-ban these ads. If enough people voice their concerns, they can do just that.12. The author mentioned the findings in the second Paragraph___________.A. to show alcohol ads’ negative effects on minors.B. to tell us the danger of minors’drunk driving.C. to tell us the harm of minors’drinking alcohol.D. To show the Congressman’s attitude towards minor’s consuming alcohol.13. According to the third paragraph, we know__________________.A. the reason why alcohol ads attract minorsB. the reason why minors tend to drink alcoholC. the way that alcohol affects minor’s lifeD. the way that minors handle problems with alcohol14. What can we infer from the passage?A. Minors tend to do what they are forbidden to .B. Minors know little about “consume responsibly”.C. The ad companies’ target consumers actually include minors.D. The ad companies employ older actors mainly to attract adults.15. What is the passage mainly about?A. The phenomenon about the alcohol consumptionB. The reasons for minors’ consumption in alcoholC. Alcohol advertising and its effects on minorsD. The reasons for banning alcohol consumption in minors第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The data took into account factors such as race, age and medical history.The finding “suggest that having training programs that are more gender-neutral, or showing how men and women might present symptoms differently, could improve outcomes for female patients,” Seth Carnahan, one of the study’s authors, said in a statement.One of the main factors affecting the quality of care that women patients receive is communication with their doctors, according to Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a fellow of the American Heart Association. “What I tell all women is that they need to really understand that how they communicate is the most important thing,” said Steinbaum. “If they believe that they’re having a heart issue or are unsure of what’s going on, it becomes important for them to say ‘I think it might be my heart,’ because then the doctor will look for problem with it.”Effective communication is a vital part of receiving quality treatment, but the study also highligh ts a need for doctors to change the way they treat women’s medical symptoms. Research shows many doctors really don’t take women’s pain seriously.8. After analyzing data from 582,000 patients, what did the researchers find?A. female doctors knew about heart attacks better.B. women patients preferred to be treated by female doctors.C. women were better at working as emergency room doctors.D. female doctors could help women heart attack victims better.9. What does the underlined word “disparity” in Para graph 3 mean?A. comparisonB. differenceC. disagreementD. increase10.According to Seth Carnahan, what do the findings of the study suggest?A. more female doctors should be employed.B. the medical history of patients should be referred to.C. male doctors should receive more training than female ones.D. training programs on heart attack treatment should be improved.11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. to show findings of a new medical study.B. to warn male doctors of potential risks.C. to encourage people to trust doctors.D. to talk about heat attacks.DFor the latter part of the 1900s, most alcohol advertising on TV was banned. During this time, the number of minors(未成年人) drinking alcohol declined. Several years ago the ban was lifted and alcohol ads returned to television. Since then the number of minors drinking alcohol has grown.A study conducted by the University of California Berkley shows that alcohol ads increase the abuse of alcohol, positive attitudes to it, and consumption of it in minors. Congressman Wolfe from Virginia also finds that alcohol advertising increases drunk driving and alcohol abuse in under-age individuals. A survey completed in California and South Dakota schools finds that teensthat are frequently exposed to alcohol advertising often begin consuming it in the next year or so.Adolescence is a time of brain development when anything that provides a thrill, like alcohol, is an attraction. And minors drink alcohol mainly to be like their friends. From a very early age, children want to fit in. Other than socializing, some doing that just try to cope with problems or stress. However, drinking alcohol will bring about many problems. Getting rid of these ads would lessen the under-age individua ls’ urges to consume or abuse alcohol.The companies who produce the ads say they target audiences well into adulthood by using older actors. They call it “Responsible Advertising”. The truth is that these companies well know that their ads are played in front of minors. They even try to appeal to teens by using music, animals, and humor which according to several studies are all the things that under-age individuals respond to in an advertisement. Do these companies really believe that simply stating “cons ume responsibly” and showing no visible consumption of alcohol really cover their actual intentions?After all these studies and surveys are taken into account, one conclusion is clear: the companies who make the ads know very well that they are supporting underage drinking and alcohol abuse. People can stand up against these companies by addressing Congress to take action and re-ban these ads. If enough people voice their concerns, they can do just that.12. The author mentioned the findings in the second Paragraph___________.A. to show alcohol ads’ negative effects on minors.B. to tell us the danger of minors’drunk driving.C. to tell us the harm of minors’drinking alcohol.D. To show the Congressman’s attitude towards minor’s consuming alcohol.13. According to the third paragraph, we know__________________.A. the reason why alcohol ads attract minorsB. the reason why minors tend to drink alcoholC. the way that alcohol affects minor’s lifeD. the way that minors handle problems with alcohol14. What can we infer from the passage?A. Minors tend to do what they are forbidden to .B. Minors know little about “consume responsibly”.C. The ad companies’ target consumers actually include minors.D. The ad companies employ older actors mainly to attract adults.15. What is the passage mainly about?A. The phenomenon about the alcohol consumptionB. The reasons for minors’ consumption in alcoholC. Alcohol advertising and its effects on minorsD. The reasons for banning alcohol consumption in minors第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满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。

An advertisementD. A business planBWhen rabbits first crossed into Western Australia (WA) from South Australia (SA), their progress seemed surprisingly fast.Thomas Austin, an English settler in Australia, first released wild rabbits from England in 1859, at Winchelsea in southern Victoria of Australia. By 1891, 32 years later, they’d reached Fowlers Bay on South Australia’s southwest coast about 1,250 km away--- covering an average of 40 km a year. But just five years later, in 1896, they were spotted 640 km further west in Twilight Cove, south of Cocklebiddy, in WA--- spreading, on average, at 130 km a year.How did they more than triple(使增至三倍) their previous rate? With help, it seems, from humankind. In his 1969 book, They All Ran Wild, farmer-author Eric Rolls described rabbits as generally unadventurous. They’d much prefer a stable life in a safe place with a familiar community than to be travelling. Only floods, food shortage or very serious overcrowding force them to move.By the 1880s rabbits were spreading through SA and humans were helping them. People released rabbits for sport, food or to remind them of the old country. And they killed possible predators(食肉动物) such as wedge- tailed eagles and dingoes. Eric Rolls wrote, swaggies(流浪汉) were the main human helpers. “In that container as they walked west out of South Australia was often a nest of three-week-old rabbit kittens completely furred and beautiful, to be set down at a good big rock-hole with some grass about it.”The rabbits’westward speed from the border put an end to any idea thatWA’s bad environment would block the invasion. They stuck close to what’s now the Eyre Highway, then moved southward to follow the better vegetated coastline. About the same time further north, rabbits were pouring into WA from the Northern Territory.Rabbits reached the west coast in 1907, the year the third fence was completed. The following year, when a WA Rabbit Department official visited the Kalbarri end of the fence, he found rabbits up and down the coast on both sides of it.25. What do we know about the first rabbits in Australia?A. They escaped from a house.B. They were from Western Australia.C. They were set free by human beings.D. They were born at Winchelsea.26.How did Eric Rolls describe rabbits?A. They had a habit of changing places.B. They didn’t like taking risks.C. They had a liking for travelling.D. They could hardly survive floods.27. Why did people think rabbits could not reach Western Australia at the beginning?A. The distance was too long.B. The rock holes were not good shelter.C. The natural conditions were poor.D. The coastline was not their favorite place.28. What did the WA Rabbit Department official find out?A. Rabbits had invaded the west coast.B. Rabbits were jumping over the fence.C. Kalbarri was the end of the fence.D. The third fence was damaged.CA primary school in Britain has put up signs to warn parents, who are addicted to playing with their phones, to greet their children with a smile rather than stare at their screens. It has become a common sight at the school gates to see children running up to their parents, only to find their parents are absorbed in reading news online, reading e-books, or watching their favorite videos.Now the headmaster at a primary school in Middlesbrough has put up the signs at all three entrances to the school. The signs say, “Greet your child with a smile, not a mobile.” And under t he words, a picture of a woman holding a phone to her ear is crossed out in a red circle. The headmaster said, “We are trying to develop students’ speaking and listening skills and we think it is a simple way to get the message across. It isn’t only an iss ue among parents, but it also emphasizes that speaking and listening can help students to have discussions.”The move had different responses. Danielle Parker, a parent, said, “I think the signs are unacceptable because most parents pick their children up with phones. ” Another parent said, “It’s a good thing. Greeting children with smiles can also develop the relationship between parents and children.” Some parents when questioned were hesitant about the signs. Lindan Bradley, a pupil at the school, said he agreed with the signs, saying, “Why should children see parents playing their mobile phones all the time?”Last year, research warned that parents’ devotion to cellphones had made some neglected children start primary school unable to hold conversations. Almost a third of children are not ready for the classroom when they startschool.29. Why did the school put up signs at its entrances?A. To encourage parents to meet pupils with smiles.B. To describe a common sight of its school gates.C. To remind pupils to be careful while walking.D. To introduce the primary school to parents.30. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Playing with the phones.B. Greeting children.C. Putting up sighs.D. Smiling.31. What’s the t hird paragraph mainly about?A. Parents’ attitude to the school.B. Mixed opinions about the signs.C. Ideas from pupils of this school.D. Comments on playing with phones.32. What maybe the effect of parents’ devotion to playing phones?A. It may reduce pupils’ time spent on phones.B. It may discourage students from working hard.C. It may make students be addicted to computer games.D. It may cause children to lack the ability of communication.DWhen I got off the bus in Mae Hong Son in Thailand, I still felt a bit dizzy after all the curves(弯道) when coming from Chiang Mai. But when I burst into the small night market and got the astonishing view of the temple, the lights sparking in the lake right in front of it made the hardship of the bus ride a distant memory.During my six-week voluntary work, this became my favorite place. The sunsets, lights, and delicious food always drew me closer. Actually thistemple turned out to be my place of living for my stay in Mae Hong Son.Thanks to Travel-to-Teach, I got the opportunity to live in a small room inside the temple area and meet all the friendly Thais who lived and worked there. Around noon I would walk down the 213 steps to go to school, where all the monks(和尚) were happy to catch as many English words or phrases as they could. After school I would walk around the town to explore the market, the shops or simply the countryside. But the 213 steps waited for me at the end of the day! I usually walked them up happily, because I knew savory and traditional Thai-Yai food was waiting for me.The town itself had a special charm for me. It was the right place to escape the busy and touristy atmosphere of Chiang Mai and learn about Thai culture and language. It also turned out to be a good starting point for weekend activities, such as visiting hot springs, local villages, hiking or taking a trip to Pai. At the same time, the teaching was very rewarding. I found how fun it could be to teach students English when they became interested and got involved.I found it very sad to leave this little paradise(乐园) after spending six weeks there. And there was still a curvy bus ride waiting for me, which was the only uncomfortable fact during my stay in Mae Hong Son. Come and find on your own.33. Which word can best describe the author’s bus ride from Chiang Mai toMae Hong Son?A. Painful.B. Meaningful.C. Interesting.D. Relaxing.34. What does the underlined word “savory” in the third paragraph mostprobably mean?A. Famous.B. Delicious.C. Poor.D. Terrible.35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The aim of Travel-to-teachB. The peaceful life in ThailandC. The development of tourism in Chiang MaiD. My voluntary service in Mae Hong Son第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

At 2,999m,Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom's highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018，finding it to be about three metres shy of Jabal Ferwa.For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.Matthew, a research scientist at Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto ,California, and Eric, an instructor in mechanical engineering at Seattle University, said their work was motivated by a need for accuracy and love for mountaineering. "If we're going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain," we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain, Matthew said. "We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to."The twins' love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT），they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012，after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.4、What can we learn about Jabal Sawda？A.It's Saudi Arabia's best place.B.It's lower than Jabal Ferwa.C.It's Saudi Arabia's highest peak.D.It's better-known than Jabal Ferwa.5、Why have the twins traveled to different countries in past years？A.To write books about mountains.B.To rename the peaks of mountains.C.To measure their highest mountain.D.To admire good views of the mountain.6、What do Matthew's words indicate about their work in paragraph 3？A.It satisfies their need for accuracy.B.It deepens their love for climbing.C.It makes them focus their efforts on life.D.It helps climbers choose their destination.7、What might the following paragraph talk about？A.The twins' other goals in their life.B.The twins' experiences in other countries.C.The twins' influence on other mountaineers.D.The twins' achievements in finding peaks.Electric bicycles have established themselves as an important mode of transportation worldwide, and their fame continues to improve as the electric vehicle revolution (革命) is slowly spreading over the world. Embracing the advantages of electric bikes not only benefits the economy but also improve the general well-being of the population.Germany, in particular, has witnessed a remarkable upswing in the e-bike industry, displaying no signs of slowing down despite initial hesitations earlier this year. In May, favorable weather made it more convenient to ride e-bikes, which contributed to the increase of e-bike sales. By the end of May this year, Germany had produced over one million electric bikes, marking a significant five-percent growth compared to the same period last year. This growth is particularly impressive considering the challenging economic climate the country has faced.Burkhard Stock, the Managing Director of the Zweirad-Industrie-Verband (ZIV), discussed this unbelievable turn of events in a report published by German e-bike publicationthe first half of the year. However, it turned out that a positive change in the industry wasseen in May.ZIV, a famous organization in the German and international bicycle industries, plays a key role as a governing body and major stakeholder (股东) in the European e-bike field. About 90 percent of all electric bikes produced by German companies are made by ZIV member companies. Their presence ensures the industry’s steady growth and development.In addition to the market within the country, German-made electric bicycles have gone to other parts of the world. In the first quarter of this year, an astonishing 190, 000 electric bikes were sold abroad, meaning a significant 28-percent increase compared to the previous year. A majority of these electric bikes were transported to European Union and European Free Trade Association member countries. It is expected that the German e-bike market will produce a total of two million electric bicycles by the end of this year.8、What resulted in a better e-bike market in May?A. Effective marketing strategies.B. Favorable turn of economic climate.C. Improved environmental awareness.D. Weather conditions suitable for cycling.9、What does the underlined word “anticipated” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Prevented.B. Guaranteed.C. Encountered.D. Expected.10、What do the numbers of German-made e-bikes in the last paragraph show?A. A greater demand for electricity.B. A complete hold of the global market.C. A strong export performance of e-bikes.D. A higher political rank in the United Nations.11、Which part does this text probable appear on the website?A. Travel.B. Industry.C. Sport.D. Advertisement.I have spent the last few months with Yang, my new dog, one I am co-raising to be a service dog. He will stay with me for 14 months or so. If he proves to be good enough, he will be sent to the guide dog school for further training and eventually become a seeing-eye dog.Dogs help people in lots of ways, but service dogs are different from working dogs, therapy (治疗) dogs, and emotional support animals. Service dogs are trained to do specific tasks for people with disabilities. They can pull wheelchairs, get medicine, remind you to take your medicine, help keep you stable while walking, and alert (警示) you to important sounds or dangerous things in your way. Service dogs have lots of different skills, depending on the disability they are trained for.No matter how you get a service dog, they usually go through a tough training program with an experienced trainer. In the last month of training, the service dog spends time with you and the instructor. The instructor teaches the dog to help you, and tells you how to command, handle, and care for the dog.Service dogs need obeying skills and other very special skills. When you think about how to get a service dog, consider finding one with relevant characters. They should be calm, be able to learn and hold onto information. To train a service dog, you should start with basic skills like focusing on you, ignoring disturbing factors and being able to stay on task in new places with new people, smells, and animals.It’s important to keep your dog healthy so that they can best help you. Give your dog access to plenty of fresh water and a balanced diet, and keep their vaccinations (疫苗) updated. Yearly visits to the vet are also important to make sure you catch any changes in your dog’s health.12、Why does the author mention Yang in paragraph 1?A. To show his emotions.B. To present a mystery.C. To describe his daily life.D. To introduce the main topic.13、Who is advised to keep a service dog?A. A healthy animal lover.B. A person with sight disability.C. A person requiring emotional support.D. A policeman performing a special task.14、Which of the following is among the basic skills for a service dog?A. Helping the owner to remain calm.B. Learning to analyzing information.C. Focusing on disturbing surroundings.D. Handling different situations and areas.15、What is the suitable title of the text?A. Caring for AnimalsB. Helping the DisabledC. Keeping a Service DogD. Training a Special Dog二、七选五16、In troubled times, awareness of the beauty in our lives can help recover our minds and bodies and restore our hope. ①______ Psychologist Christopher Peterson has found that a high appreciation of beauty helps people recover from anxiety and depression.
