His work on the origins and structure of the universe, from the Big Bang to black holes, changed the field greatly. His best-selling books also appealed to a number of readers.Stephen Hawking had a challenging life. He was born in England on Jan. 8, 1942——300 years to the day after the death of the astronomer Galileo Galilei. He attended University College, Oxford, where he studied physics, despite his father's urging to focus on medicine. Hawking went on to Cambridge toIn early 1963, just before his 21st birthday, Hawking suffered from a serious disease, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. He was not expected to live more than two years. Completing his doctor's degree did not appear likely. Yet, Hawking had overcome the great difficulties, not only attaining his Ph. D. but also building new roads into the understanding of the universe in the decades since.Hawking continued at Cambridge after his graduation, serving as a research fellow and later as a professional fellow. In 1974, he was inducted （正式就职）into the Royal Society, a worldwide fellowship of scientists. In 1979, he was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, the most famous academic chair in the world.As the disease spread, Hawking became less mobile and began using a wheelchair. Talking grew more challenging and, in 1985 , an emergency tracheotomy （气管切开术）caused his total loss of speech.A speech-generating device was constructed at Cambridge? combined with a software program, serving as his electronic voice and allowing Hawking to select his words by moving the muscles in his cheek. Hawking died on March 14, 2018.24. What greatly influenced the field Stephen Hawking studied?B. His research on the Big Bang and black holes.C. Stephen Hawking's talent.D.

How exactly? By introducing a robot that can deliver food to your home. A Japanese company ZMP has launched robot tests recently.The ZMP's delivery robot in the process of testing is a red box that measures 109 cm and 133 cm in heights and lengths respectively. It is designed to carry up to 100 kilograms of anything with a approximate speed of 4 miles an hour. It has its own navigating system and a map, sensors （传感器）and cameras that allow it to self-drive. These, for now, are its main technical abilities. The next developments will be control of food temperature, and perhaps, voice control and speaking abilities.The robot will be tested together with a local sushi （寿司）delivery company Ride on Express Co. Upon making a sushi order, customers will receive codes on their smart phones that will allow them to unlock the robot and get their orders out. Similar testing attempts have been undertaken by Domino's Pizza in Australia, where they tested a delivery robot a year ago.In any case, before robots are able to deliver food or any other goods to real customers, massive testing on public roads or in the public air space will have to take place. While it is in the government's best interest to make up for the shortage of delivery in the Japanese labor market, it is clear that self-driving machines of any kind will not be permitted on the roads until they are fully tested and proven safe enough for public roads. According to the experts, this could take another 3 to 5 years.In any case, robot delivery is not such a distant future after all, and recent developments show that there is significant market demand for such type of delivery.28. How do Japanese handle the employee shortages in delivery service?A. By raising employment and working hours.C. By increasing the salary.D. By delivering more at a time.29. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The introduction of delivery robots.B. The usage of delivery robots.C. The basic data of delivery robots.D. The appearance of delivery robots.30. What's the reaction of Japanese government to delivery robots?A. Being critical of the technology.B. Ignoring the development.C. Being a little bit hesitated.D. Becoming great interested.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. Robot Delivery：New Tests in JapanB. Robot Delivery Coming to Usein JapanC. Employee Shortage in Delivery in JapanD. Latest Automatic Service：RobotsDHealth officials in the United States reported last week on what they believe could be a medical first. Officials said doctors performed what could be the first double lung transplant （移植）on a person whose lungs were severely damaged from vaping （吸电子烟）. The operation reportedly saved the life of the teenager.The young man was admitted in early September to a Detroit-area hospital with what appeared to be a common lung infection, but was later sent to Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit. On October 3, he was transported to Henry Ford Hospital, where the transplant was performed 12 days later.Hassan Nemeh is a surgical director of thoracic （胸腔的）organ transplant at Henry Ford Hospital. He told The Associated Press（The AP）that the damage done to the teenager's lungs from vaping was so bad that there was no possibility to totally recover. He warned parents to think about that and to tell their children as well.More than 2 ,000 Americans who vape have gotten sick since March. Many of them are teenagers and young adults. At least 40 people have died.Recently, the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a discovery into what might be causing people who vape to become sick. They identified the chemical compound vitamin E acetate （醋酸盐）as a “very strong criminal".Researchers found the chemical compound in fluid taken from the lungs of 29 patients. In other studies? Vitamin E acetate was found in liquid from electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices. Many who got sick said they had vaped liquids that contain THC, the part of marijuana that creates what is known as a “high".Dr. Lisa Allenspach is a lung specialist and medical director of Henry Ford's Lung Transplant Program. She told The AP, Vaping-related injuries are all too common these days. Our adolescents are faced with a crisis. She added that vaping products should not be used in any way.about transplants for people who severely damage their own lungs by vaping. He added, “We hope sharing this patient's story prevents anyone else from experiencing a vaping injury that would require a transplant.32. What can be learned about the young man in the text?A. He got caught in a moral dilemma.B. He was the first to get sick by vaping.C. He received the operation immediately.D. He had a good chance to survive the lung damage.33. How many hospitals are mentioned in the text?A.1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.34. What is Dr. Lisa Allenspach^ attitude towards vaping products?A. Skeptical.B. Approving.C. Opposing.D. Objective.35. What's the purpose of sharing the teen's story?A. To discourage vaping.B. To voice moral concerns for the lung transplant.C. To express sympathy for his sufferings.D. To disapprove of smoking.第二节（共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5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。

Throughout life, we come across many people who impact us in a way. The person who left a great impact on me is my dad.Three months after turning fourteen, my life was great. I was getting settled into a high school; my grades were already starting off greatly and I was making friends. One day as I came home from school, I walked into our living room, finding my mom and dad talking. My parents turned to me and told me to sit down because there was something important they had to tell me. I soon found out that my dad’s liver (肝脏) was failing and he needed an immediate transplant. I was shocked and confused. He was working and never looked sick. My parents told me not to worry because everything would be fine. Four months had passed and my dad still had not received a new liver; he was progressively getting worse. His body seemed to be getting weaker, but he constantly said he was fine.It was getting hard for my family and me. My dad had to quit his job leaving my mom to be the only provider. I had to take on the responsibility of cleaning the house, cooking meals and checking on my dad while my mom was at work. I had to cut back on hanging with my friends because my dad was beginning to go in and out of the hospital. My focus for school was starting to slip. So were my grades. Two nights before my school spring break, my mom received a call from the hospital that my dad had been in a car accident and that he was in hospital. Surprisingly, my dad hadn’t received a scratch on him. Then next night my mom received a call from the doctor stating that there was a liver that matched my dad’s body and that he needed to get to the hospital immediately.Para. 1My mom and I rushed to the hospital and my dad was brought into surgery._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________Pare. 2Having to take on so many responsibility at home and constantly worn about my dad has helped shaped me into the person I am today._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________河北省邢台市2020-2021学年高一下学期期末英语试题47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

河北省武邑中学2020-2021学年高二英语下学期6月期末复习试题2
河北省武邑中学2020-2021学年高二英语下学期6月期末复习试题2第一部分阅读理解 AI want you all to know that I’ve quit social media, and my life has gotten so much better. I mean, it’s only been 15 minutes but I can already tell I’m a different person. Fifteen minutes ago, I stopped using Facebook and Twitter. Within seconds, I noticed I am happier, less irritable, more contemplative (深思熟虑的) and balanced. I’m spending more time on activities that matter. Just in the past two minutes, I’ve looked at a book on my bo okshelf and briefly pondered opening it.I’m truly changing. This is going to sound crazy, but since quitting social media—now, let’s see, 16 minutes ago—all of my senses are enhanced. My eyesight is clearer. Food tastes better. I just smelled the first tulips of spring. I am jolted by a burst of energy. Every morning I am going to meditate or at least lie in my bed and consider meditating.What purpose does social media serve, anyhow? The academics tell us it’s making us miserable—the constant updates from friends with their expensive vacations and gossips about celebrities. If you think about it, the Internet was really only supposed to be for one thing: ordering socks from J. Crew. Then people started posting photographs of their dogs in Halloween costumes, and we all began sending Happy Birthday wishes to classmates we’d lost touch with since fifth grade, and the whole thing became the nightmare.Social media ruins perfectly good human beings. There are people I lovein real life and hate on social media. Worst still, social media stifles( 抑制) creativity. They’ve studied this in rats, you know. Scientists made rats quit using Facebook, and when they came back in a few hours, all of the rats were writing really solid debut novels.It’s been 17 minutes. I have a feeling that my quitting social media is having a physical effect. All I did was quit looking at my phone 900 times a day. I’ll tell them the secret. Quit social media. All of life’s annoying problems will be over. Your relationships will improve. Y ou’ll never feel down. You’ll never get stuck in traffic.Do I miss it? Thanks for asking. I don’t even know why I thought it was so important. I do not need to see the 800th photo from my co-worker’s trip.I have no idea how a hot topic is going on. And i t’s OK. I can’t imagine going back. I’ve quit social media. It’s only been 18 minutes, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to make it a full twenty.1.

Why We Can’t Live Without the InternetC. The Influence of Social Media: Pros & ConsD. Quitting Social Media Will Save Your LifeBMost people have been taught that losing weight is a matter of simple math. Cut calories—specifically 3,500 calories, and you’ll lose a pound. But as it turns out, experts are learning that this decades-old strategy is actually pretty misguided. “This idea of ‘a calorie in and a calorie out’ when it comes to weight loss is not only outdated, it’s just wrong,” says Dr. Fa tima Cody Stanford, an obesity specialist at Harvard Medical School. The truth is that even careful calorie calculations don’t always yield(产生) uniform results.How your body burns calories depends on a number of factors. Three factors affect how your body processes calories.Your gut microbiome (肠道微生物). Trillions of organisms live in your gut, and the important types may influence how many calories your body absorbs from food. This may occur because some types of organisms are able to break down and use more calories from certain foods than other types of organisms. Researchers have found that people who are naturally thin have different typesof organisms living inside them than those who are overweight.Your metabolism (新陈代谢). Each body has a “set point” that governs weight, says Dr. Stanford. This set point reflects several factors, including your genes, your environment, and your behaviors. A region at the base of your brain stands guard to keep your body weight from dipping below that set point—which is not really a bonus if you’re trying to lose weight.The type of food you eat. Your food choices may also influence your calorie intake, and not just because of their specific calorie content. One 2019 study published in Cell Metabolism found that eating processed foods seems to spur people to eat more calories compared with eating unprocessed foods.If counting calories isn’t a dependable way to manage your weight, what can you do to shed extra pounds? Dr.Stanford recommends the following.Focus on diet quality. When planning your meals, focus on choosing unprocessed foods, including lean meats, whole grains, and lots of fruits and vegetables in their natural form.Exercise regularly. Aim to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week. Moderate exercise is done at a level where you can talk, but not sing.Consult a professional. “A lot of people believe it’s a moral failing if they are unable to lose weight,” says Dr. Stanford. But it’s not. As with other medical conditions, many people will need help from a doctor. Successful weight loss may require more than just diet and exercise. “Only 2% of peoplewho meet the criteria for the use of anti-obesity medications actually get them. This means that 98% of people who could be treated are n’t,” she says, “Don’t be afraid to seek help if you need it.”5. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Old theories actually mislead us.B. Losing weight lies in losing calorie.C. Calorie calculations lead to good results.D. Losing weight by losing calorie is outdated.6. The processing of calories is affected by how you ______.A. choose the types of food you consumeB. focus on the quality of your dietC. adjust your brain to the “set point”D. reduce the organisms living in your gut7. T he underlined word “shed” in Paragraph 6 means “______”.A. weighB. produceC. loseD. cost8. It is implied in the passage that ______.A. cutting calories is essential for weight lossB. losing weight can be double-edgedC. healthy eating keeps you losing weightD. a healthy lifestyle is key to weight loss七选五How to pass an important testWhether it's a first grade science test or College Entrance Exam, all tests have one thing in common: you have to pass. 9 .

河北省邢台市质检联盟2024-2025学年高二上学期11月期中英语试题一、阅读理解Women Who Changed the Way We See NatureFlorence Augusta Merriam BaileyFlorence Augusta Merriam Bailey was an ornithologist who became one of the earliest advocates for the protection of wildlife. Working in the late 19th and early 20th century, Bailey studied birds in nature, focusing on their behaviors rather than on their colors and feather patterns. Bailey was a writer. At the age of 26, she penned her first book, Birds Through an Opera-Glass, considered one of the first modern field guides for bird-watching since it included both notes on behaviors and illustrations.Rachel CarsonRachel Carson started her career as a marine biologist for the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. Because of her talent as a writer, she was drafted to create brochures and radio programs in addition to her regular research duties. She eventually rose to oversee a team of writers for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. She also contributed articles to newspapers and magazines. In the 1950s, after the success of her book The Sea Around Us, Carson focused full-time on nature writing.Herma Albertson BaggleyHerma Albertson Baggley grew up in Iowa but studied botany (植物学) in Idaho and spent her professional career in Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park. When she joined the National Park Service(NPS)in the early 1930s, she was the first full-time female naturalist. Putting her botany knowledge to work, Baggley co-wrote a guide called Plants of Yellowstone National Park. Though it was published in 1936, it was so comprehensive (详尽的) that it is still referencedtoday.Margaret MurieMargaret Murie, known to almost everyone as “Mardy”(the name she often used in her byline), grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska. She is best known for being the driving force behind the effort to create and expand the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. During her life, she worked as a consultant (顾问) for the NPS, the Sierra Club, and a number of similar environmental protection organizations.1．What do Bailey and Carson have in common?A．Growing up in Iowa.B．Writing their own books.C．Designing a tour brochure.D．Working for the Sierra Club.2．Who was the first full-time female naturalist in the NPS?A．Florence Augusta Merriam Bailey.B．Rachel Carson.C．Herma Albertson Baggley.D．Margaret Murie.3．What made Murie famous?A．Her government position.B．Her childhood experiences.C．Her articles on social media.D．Her efforts to develop the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.Anantawan was born without most of his right forearm. The disability was a barrier to music when, in fifth grade, he said his music teacher wanted all the students to learn to play the recorder (竖笛).Instead of giving up, Anantawan and his parents decided to find him a different instrument to explore his musical talent. “My family chose the violin because they thought it was the most beautiful instrument,” Anantawan said. They contacted the Toronto-area hospital near the family, asking them to create an adaptive cast on his arm that would allow the then 10-year-old to hold the bow (琴弓).A group of engineers worked alongside Anantawan to build a special device. With it, Anantawan could use the bow and use his shoulder to make the sound. “From the very first note that I was playing, I was really attracted to the sound and the connection of my body to the instrument and being able to express my imagination,” he said.Although Anantawan is grateful for the technology that allows him and others with disabilities to find access to music, he said the most important part of access is that teachers, supporters and those who encourage young learners or musicians by telling them they can do anything are able to accept diversity.Anantawan is working to provide that space for others. As an associate professor at the Berklee College of Music, Anantawan founded the Music Inclusion Ensemble, a group of students with disabilities that provides accommodations for musicians according to their needs. Anantawan hopes to inspire people without being defined only by the challenges they face as a result of theirdisability.4．Why did Anantawan’s family get in touch with the hospital?A．To find a man-made hand for him.B．To inspire him to learn to play the recorder.C．To add something extra to assist his right arm.D．To put forward suggestions on adapting a violin.5．What does Anantawan think is the key to the disabled’s access to music?A．Inclusive atmosphere.B．Fair competitions.C．Enough resources.D．Lasting cooperation.6．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Why Anantawan becomes active.B．Who Anantawan plays music with.C．How Anantawan lives in his free time.D．What Anantawan contributes his time to.7．Which of the following can best describe Anantawan?A．Appreciative and kind.B．Open-minded and sporty.C．Wealthy and humorous.D．Hesitant and lonely.While many animal populations seem to be dwindling, one species that is moving in the opposite direction is America’s native wood stork (林鹳).The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population fell to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would be completely wiped out by 2000．Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and US Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a deletion of the wood stork as an endangered species.So how did the population bounce back? The success is in part down to the resourcefulness (智谋) of the wood stork. The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development. In 1987, former Savannah National Wildlife Refuge biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is also the key factor to this recovery. In an email to National Public Radio, she said, “The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species that call the area home.”The Endangered Species Act has saved many of the species that were on the list since 1973.A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted (从表上剔除) as their populations become stable again.According to some local environmentalists, if the wood stork is delisted in the future, it will remain protected by other laws and a monitoring plan will be put in place to ensure the population remains stable.8．What does the underlined word “dwindling” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Ageing.B．Dropping.C．Updating.D．Developing. 9．How did the scientists find wood stork’s situation in 1984?A．Amazing.B．Satisfying.C．Worrying.D．Boring.10．How many reasons for the increase of wood stork are mentioned in the text?A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.11．What can we know about the Endangered Species Act?A．It is harmful.B．It is costly.C．It is original.D．It is effective.Two of the biggest challenges faced by new and potential electric vehicle (EV) drivers are range anxiety and the speed of charging. However, these shouldn’t have to be challenges at all. That is according to a study by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, and the University of Delaware, USA．Researchers discovered that a change in refuelling mindset (观念模式), rather than improving the size or performance of the battery, could be the answer to these concerns.Researchers have now identified three different types of behaviour around refuelling a car. The first model is the monitoring fuel gauge (测量仪器) model — the driver refuels when the fuel is running out. The second model is the planning a trip model — the driver plans when and where they will stop to refuel their vehicle along a journey. The third model is the event-triggered model — the driver automatically plugs in (接通电源) as soon as arriving home or work. The first modelrepresents how most people refuel a petrol car, and the third model is the best for EV usage.Experienced EV users have chosen an event or location to trigger their plug-in; for example, they will automatically plug in when they come home or get to work, so it becomes part of their morning or evening routine, which makes it less of a chore to think about charging. There is a lot of emphasis on the time it takes to charge an EV, but if you do it overnight, it is just the time it takes to plug it in.In conclusion, for most people’s everyday driving, the new study shows that you don’t have to think too much about charging at all. In terms of cost, it is also a lot cheaper to charge slowly overnight or at work than fast charging on the go, and it is better for the health of the battery. 12．In which part of a newspaper can you most likely to read the text?A．Culture.B．Technology.C．Fashion.D．Health.13．What does the text advise EV drivers to do?A．Monitor fuel gauge occasionally.B．Think about the speed of charging.C．Charge EVs at night or during work.D．Plan their trips according to their cars. 14．What can be inferred from the text?A．A bigger battery is the best solution to range anxiety.B．It’s difficult for drivers to remember to charge EVs.C．Fast charging is much cheaper than slow charging.D．Charging is not a concern for those wanting to buy EVs.15．What may be the best title for the text?A．Choosing a better EV B．Petrol cars or electric cars?C．Slow charging or fast charging?D．Changing your refuelling mindsetFor the most part, anxiety is a condition that comes and goes. But for some, anxiety never goes away completely. 16 . The good one is that you can manage the symptoms (症状), so they don’t manage you. Here are some things you can do on any given day to get on the right side of calm.Find an object to focus onA simple grounding exercise is to simply find an object and put all your attention towards studying it for a few minutes. Once you pick an object, start thinking about its look: color, shape, and texture. Who made it? How does it feel when you touch it? 17 . 18If you’re prone (易于遭受) to anxiety, keep a diary where you can write what you’re afraid of, your beliefs and thoughts about the fear. Writing will help you focus your thoughts, and reading your entry later can help you handle your anxiety better.Challenge and replace unrealistic thoughts19 . Identify your anxiety-producing unrealistic thoughts and replace them with thoughts that are either happy and peaceful, or more realistic. If you respond better to positivity, try replacing those fears with a happy thought — like how excited you are to go on a trip with your friends, and how fun it’s going to be!Talk to someone about your anxietyIf you’re in the struggles of anxiety and can’t seem to get out, call a friend, a family member or a mental health professional for help. Have them distract you from your panic and talk through your fear so you can overcome the stress. 20 .A．That’s the bad newsB．Put your feelings downC．Control your inner dialogueD．Best of all, you can get things doneE．Remind yourself that your thoughts are not factsF．This exercise helps ground you in reality and pushes aside any stressesG．Knowing who to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later二、完形填空This happened to me a few years ago, and is still making me tear up when I’m thinking about it.My husband was in the navy (海军).
