But how exactly does a disease spread from bats to humans? Andwith so many diseases coming from bats, you would think that bats would be sickall the time. It turns out this isn't the case and it's likely because of the way that bats'immune （免疫）systems work.Bats have very active immune systems to protect their cells from viruses.When a bat's body notices a virus, a protein （蛋白质）is released （释放）that sends a signal to the bat's cells to keep the virus out. In response, viruses reproduce very quickly to try to get into the cells before this immune reaction triggers （触发）.Although the bats don’t get sick, these rapidly increasing viruses can jump to animals with slower immune systems and can quickly cause serious infections.At the same time, bats are great disease carriers. Bats live in large crowded places — a perfect setting for viruses to spread. In addition, the average bat lives for around 30 years, which is a long time that an infected bat can spread the disease around its environment.The question remains: Why are so many diseases spreading from bats to humans? Put simply, that problem may be on us. As the number of humans on Earth has increased, there are more chances for bats and humans to have contact with each other. People have taken over large areas of bats' natural habitats due to urban development and the cutting down of trees. This leaves the bats with no choice but to live closer to us.Even though bats can harbor dangerous diseases, we can't blame them for getting us sick. It is only because of bats' strong immune systems that they can carry such deadly illnesses. By studying bats, we may find ways to develop new treatments. However, the only way to do that is to protect the natural habitats of these extraordinary creatures.19. What do viruses do when faced with the bat' s immune system?A. Release a protein.B. Increase quickly.C. Send a signal to cells.D. Jump to other animals.20. What causes diseases to spread from bats to humans?A. Larger areas taken over by bats as habitats.B. The rising population of bats living on Earth.C. The trees used to support urban development.D. Increased contact between bats and humans.21. What suggestion does the author give in the last paragraph?A. Stopping bats from getting sick.B. Protecting bats* natural habitats.C. Studying those who get sick from bats.D. Strengthening the human immune system.“Runners, on your mark. Get set..." Bang! And I was off, along with other teenage runners from high schools across the county. It was a fine day, like any other fair-weather autumn day in Maryland. But the race that day felt unique （特别的）from the get-go. For one thing, I liked the course. It was my team's home course, one I was used to running during practices. It took runners along terrain （地形）that included open fields, hills and even dirt paths through a small forest. It was a beautiful 5-kilometer course. This particular race was our team's invite, and I was proud to be sharing the course with competitors from other schools. It also meant a lot more than normal — that my parents were there to cheer me on.With so much to expect that day, I was ready to run! And I didn't want to be stuck with other runners, as is typical at the beginning of most cross-country races. So when the gun sounded, I took off running, leaving everyone else in the dust.The first part of our course followed a large open field before disappearing into the forest. Within seconds of the start, I was far ahead of everyone, and all of the fans could see it. It felt magnificent!But that feeling didn't last long. Little did I know my coach was laughing to himself thinking, "Gabe isdone for!" And I was. My body was telling me to slow down. My pride, however, said "No! Not until you're out of sight of the audiences!" I was in pain, but I kept up my pace until I reached the forest. Once I was among the trees, I slowed way down.I enjoyed most races, even while pushing myself, but this one was not enjoyable in the least. I finished the race, but in nowhere near the time I could have if I* d paced myself well from the beginning. Every time I reflect on that cross-country season, I* m reminded of something: Pride is no substitute for pace.（以下是A种题型）22. What made the race unique to the author according to paragraph 1?A. The blue sky and white clouds.B. The home course and his parents.C. The competitors and audiences.D. The unknown terrain and fair weather.23. What docs the underlined sentence "G a be is done for" in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The author loses something.B. The author needs more patience.C. The author is doing a great job.D. The author is going to fail the race.24. Why didn't the author enjoy the race?A. Because he slowed way down.B. Because he didn't finish the race.C. Because he could have done better.D. Because he lost the game completely.25. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. The Meaning of PrideB. The Race Less PacedC. A Race Worth CelebratingD. A Competition of My Team（以下是B种题型）22. What can be inferred about cross-country races according to paragraph 2?23. Why didn't the author slow down until he reached the forest?24. Replace the underlined word "magnificent" with one word.25. How could the author have done better in the race?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人空白处的最佳选项。

山西省太原市2024-2025学年高三上学期期中学业诊断英语试题一、阅读理解A Live Speech on Strange Traditions of Oxford UniversityAn upcoming live speech, combined with a reality show dedicated to exploring the strange traditions of Oxford University, will take place from March 1st to the end of May at the University Hall. Tickets are now on sale.Ticket Deals:One popular option is the online ticketing platform, where you can easily book and pay for your tickets using a credit card or digital payment services like PayPal. Mobile apps often provide quick access with exclusive discounts. You can also conveniently purchase tickets at the box office directly at the venue. Additionally, this event allows for phone orders. You can call and have your tickets mailed to you.A Brief Look Ahead:·A special appointment of timeIf you’re hurrying to class at Oxford and you arrive at 9:05 am, don’t worry — you’re not late; you’re right on time. That’s because all university lectures and exams are always scheduled for five minutes past the hour. Before the birth of railways, the UK’s towns operated on their own slightly different time, and Oxford’s local time was five minutes and two seconds behind Greenwich Mean Time. Therefore, the additional five minutes today is a nod to the past.·A formal dinner ceremonyEvery week, colleges host a formal three-course meal called Formal Hall, where students are required to wear formal Oxford gowns (长袍). This ranges from a waist-length, vest-like coat for undergraduates to full, knee-length gowns for graduate students. Some colleges have been known to turn students away for being even a few minutes late to Formal Hall.Don’t miss this opportunity. Secure your tickets today and be part of this exciting event. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements.1．Which of the following offers tickets at a lower price?A．The box office.B．Mobile apps.C．Phone orders.D．Online ticketing platform.2．Why is there a 5′02″ delay in the university’s schedule?A．To add some unexpected fun.B．To make students less stressed.C．To honour the local time tradition.D．To spare professors time to prepare. 3．What is students’ dressing based on at Formal Hall?A．Their major.B．Their degree stages.C．Their family background.D．Their academic performance.15-year-old Cassandra Lin admires unexpected heroes. Inspired by a YouTube story about a Malawian boy who built windmills from bicycle parts to power his village, she created an award-winning recycling program in her hometown, Westerly, Rhode Island. This program, Project TGIF (Turn Grease Into Fuel), encourages residents and local restaurants to recycle used cooking oil, which is then processed into biodiesel (生物柴油) fuel. The money earned from the program is donated to help heat the homes of needy people in Westerly. That’s exactly what this persistent tenth grader has done. For her, however, it’s just something she does with her friends after school.To make the project successful, Cassandra and her team educated themselves on the biodiesel refining process, made their own biodiesel with proper safety measures, secured two separate youth seed grants, and persuaded community leaders to support the initiative. They identified a non-sustainable emergency heating program and the issue of pouring used fats and oils down into drains as key problems in their community. “All of our problems are snowballed together,” Cassandra said. She and her team puzzled over how to combine these problems to get a one-off solution. An article on collecting and recycling cooking oil settled the deal.Cassandra’s leadership, clear-sightedness, logical thinking, and creativity were central to the success of TGIF. Her enthusiasm and energy have motivated many to join her cause. Despite her achievements, Cassandra stays down-to-earth, viewing her efforts as just part of her after-school activities. When reminded that she is featured on YouTube as a delegate (代表) to the Tunza International Youth Conference in South Korea, keeping a low profile, she responds “Am I?”4．What is the aim of Project TGIF?A．To encourage locals to lead a healthy life.B．To provide science education for teenagers.C．To reduce the use of cooking oil in Westerly.D．To find a green way to process used cooking oil.5．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The article the teenagers published.B．The scientific basis of the recycling.C．The financial problem the team faced.D．The practice of advancing the project. 6．What do we know from Cassandra’s response in the last paragraph?A．She is humble.B．She is doubtful.C．She is aggressive.D．She is straightforward.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．A Malawian boy that tops the Youtube channelB．An intelligent tenth grader who changes her lifeC．Grease to fuel: A schoolgirl’s wisdom warms the communityD．A school project bridging the energy gap illuminates the worldWhat should you do if your child steals another kid’s toy in a playdate or gets pushed by another kid at the park? These are common behaviors for preschoolers who are still learning how to act around others and regulate their emotions. But for many parents, these moments are a struggle to manage.“We feel on the spot when we’re in public,” says Celina Benavides, a developmental psychologist at Oxnard College in California. “We feel the judgmental eyes from other people, and that can shape how we parent and how children might respond to us.” So, how should parents address their kids’ challenging behaviors in public? Benavides explains the reason why sometimes young children suffer meltdown is that they are stuck in a tough situation for them to handle properly. So try to distract them by stepping in timely and offering help they need.For example, at a park, a boy comes up behind your 2-year-old daughter and hits her on the back of the head so that he can climb the stairs first, but his parents don’t say anything or apologize. What would you do? “It’s always OK to simply remove your child from situations that don’t feel safe. But if you choose to engage, focus first on the harmed child. Then, move on to the child doing the harm, producing a situation to help the children repair the relationship in a healthyway.” says Benavides.Assuming your 18-month-old son is at a children’s party. He grabs an older child’s shirt, and then takes a truck toy from his hand! The other child starts crying. Your son looks on, confused. Should the parents get involved in it? “Actually, parents’ role is to help the kid figure out how to resolve the dilemma on his own.” Benavides says. He also recommends pausing before jumping in, and if you do need to participate, label what you’re seeing and ask questions, like “What if we try taking turns?” This allows children to come up with ideas themselves.8．Why is parenting in public difficult?A．The kids’ misbehaviors are tolerated.B．It’s hard to regulate parents’ emotions.C．Parents feel stressed by others’ judgement.D．Adults lack communication skills with kids.9．What does the underlined word “meltdown” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Constant fear.B．Emotional outbursts.C．Physical problems.D．Temporary setbacks.10．What is suggested by Benavides when kids are in a dilemma?A．Blaming the child doing harm.B．Presenting children with choices.C．Standing by without engagement.D．Getting kids away from the spot. 11．What does the text mainly talk about?A．How to parent sensibly in public.B．How to construct family relations.C．How to develop kids’ good manners.D．How to get on well with other parents.Shannon Brescher Shea’ s nine-year-old struggled with focus and following directions at home and at school. But after riding his bike, whether around the park or to school, he felt obviously calmer. “We call it moving meditation (冥想),” says Shea, who is a family biking advocate and author in Maryland. “We saw how incredibly helpful biking was for his focus, emotional regulation and ability to follow directions.”This experience isn’t unique. Research consistently shows that physical activity contributes to improving mental health. “Exercise, no matter your age, is the single best thing you can do for every organ in your body, including your brain,” says Allan Reiss, a professor and director of Brain Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.And while any exercise helps, a growing body of research shows bicycling is among the activities that might provide even more of a mental health boost. Scientists aren’t yet sure why, but it might have something to do with all the functional skills cyclists use. “You need to maintain your balance and process a lot of information from your environment, like deciding whether you can squeeze past a tree or how hard you need to brake,” says Reiss, “Most importantly, you’ve got to coordinate (协调), sense, process, integrate, regulate, and continually make decisions.”According to Reiss, “Research suggests that physical activity like cycling likely encourages new cell growth in areas of the brain linked to memory and problem-solving, and can support stronger connections between neurons (神经元), ultimately impacting memory and learning.”Luckily, it’s not too hard to get on a bike for most people. You should focus on the fun. To ensure riders don’ t get tired too quickly (or too bored), build in a fun stop rather than make the ride the single focus. Self-paced exploration and adventure are key to the ride. Cycling can multiply when it becomes a social project. In neighborhoods where bike lanes or other safe-to-ride pathways exist, organizing a group ride with friends might be just the ticket to less stressed, more relaxed individuals.12．What does the author want to stress using Shea’s son’s example?A．Advantage of physical exercise regularly.B．Positive effect of riding on mentalhealth.C．Importance of leading a relaxing lifestyle.D．Possibilities that any disease can be cured.13．Why does cycling boost mental health more according to Reiss?A．It needs better integrated coordination abilities.B．Its outdoor exposure helps improve the mood state.C．It needs repetitive movement to help calm the mind.D．Its sense of freedom and exploration helps mind grow.14．What is the function of the quoted statement in paragraph 4?A．Presenting experiments.B．Explaining concepts.C．Providing evidence.D．Offering suggestions.15．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Cycling with partners is recommended.B．Nonstop cycling makes the most of the ride.C．Purchasing tickets for a group ride is essential.D．Bike lane construction is promoted by communities.The Career Planning Guide for High School StudentsIt’s never too early to start planning your career!

山西省太原市2020-2021学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题(1)
【市级联考】山西省太原市2020-2021学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择The World’s Unusual LibrariesLog LibrariesAlex Johnson writes in his new book—Improbable Libraries,“ The very idea of a library is developing:many of these libraries operate on principles that differ mainly from the traditional libraries. Some, for example, have no membership or identification requirements, and some do not even request that the books be returned.” The oversized bird box in a park in Lowa is part of the Little Free Library Movement, which was established in Wisconsin in 2009. Phone BoothsThis design from the firm, Stereotank, offers browsing shelter for passers-by. In the UK, a phone company’s programme, allowing communities to take over their phone booth for £ 1—means that many have been changed into tiny local libraries. Meanwhile , a solar light has been set in a phone booth so that late night visitors can still read.Branches of KnowledgeDidier Muller’s libraries operate as hanging libraries: visitors can look through pages, taking any book they choose and exchanging it with their own. The equipment of hanging wooden houses is one of several art projects serving as a booklover’ s place. Soundproofed PodsAround the world, architects are designing buildings that bend bricks-and-mortar libraries into new forms. The Seikei University Library in Japan—the vision of Pritzker Prize winner Shigeru Ban—contains space-age soundproofed (隔音的) pods to encourage discussions between students.1．What does Alex Johnson mean according to the first paragraph?A．All the books must be returned in time. B．Books can be shared free of charge. C．Libraries will disappear in the future. D．Log Libraries are bigger than traditional ones.2．Readers can exchange books with their own in ______A．Log Libraries B．Phone BoothsC．Branches or Knowledge D．Soundproofed Pods3．What can we know from the text?A．Communities turn the phone booths into Log Libraries.B．Readers can’t read books in Log Libraries without membership.C．Readers can read books by solar light in Branches or Knowledge.D．Students can have discussions without disturbing others in Soundproofed Pods.The smallest kids on Earth are much smaller than you or your baby brother or sister. They’re even smaller than the hairs on your head. We call them “NanoPutians”(纳米小人). Also known as NanoKids, the NanoPutians aren’t real people. They are actually tiny molecules (分子) made to look a little bit like people.James Tour invented the NanoPutians as a way to teach kids about nanoscience, which refers to the study of things that are smaller than about 100 or 200 nanometers. “The exact size is less important than the possible applications of working with such tiny things,” Tour says, “Nanoscience is the study and development of the small so that it will affect the large.”One of the goals of the research is to control individual atoms. Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and other types of atoms are the building blocks of the universe. They make up planets, rocks, people, trees, CDs --- all the stuff out there. “Most things that people build come together in a top-down way”, Tour says. If you want to make a table, for instance, you cut down a big tree, make wooden boards, and hammer them together. Nature, on the other hand, builds things from the bottom up. When atoms join together they make molecules. Each molecule has a certain shape, and a molecule’s structure determines what it can do. Molecules can make them come together to make a cell --- or a tree.Tour and his co-workers turned these molecular structures into cartoon figures and made an animated(动画的) science video about the little people, set it to music and started showing it to kids in school while talking about how exciting research on small things can be.“L earning about the NanoKids has opened up a world of possibility for real kids who ordinarily would rather not study biology, chemistry or physics.” Tour says. When you look closely enough, the really small can be really cool.4．What is the purpose of inventing NanoKids?A．To clone two really similar children.B．To arouse kids’ attention of the scientific world.C．To know more about the top-down way.D．To keep up with the development of nanotechnology.5．How did Tour introduce the research on small things to kids?A．By producing wonderful music.B．By performing a play acted by kids.C．By making animated science videos.D．By turning molecular structures into little kids.6．Which section of a newspaper is the text probably from?A．Science. B．Economy.C．History. D．Entertainment.二、阅读表达The memory of Dad flooded into my mind. In the morning when I was nine years old, he would come home from working 18 hours at his bakery and wake me up at 5 a.m. by scratching my back with his strong, powerful hand and whispering, “Time to get up, son.” By the time I was dressed and ready to roll, he had my newspaper folded and stuffed in my bicycle basket. Recalling his generosity of spirit brings tears to my eyes.When I was racing bicycles, he drove me 50 miles each way to Kenosha, Wis c onsin, every Tuesday night so I could race and he could watch me. He was there to hold me if I lost and share the euphoria when I won.Later, he accompanied me to all my local talks in Chicago when I spoke to Century 21, Mary Kay and various churches. He always smiled, listened and _______ told whomever he was sitting with, “That’s my boy!”In my dad’s last telephone call to me, he said, “I am going home to Denmark, son, and I want to tell you I love you.” He repeated that line seven times in half an hour. I wasn’t listening at the right level. I heard the words, but not the message, and certainly not their profound intention.Two days later, Dad passed away. My heart was in pain because Dad was there for me but I wasn’t there for him. Please always, always share your love with your loved ones, and try to be invited to that important period when physical life transforms into spiritual life. Experiencing the process of death with one you love will give you a deeper understanding of life.（前4个是A种题型,后4个是B种题型）7．What does the underlined word “euphoria” mean in paragraph 3?A．Courage B．SadnessC．Excitement D．Disappointment8．Why did Dad repeat the line seven times to his son in the last telephone call? A．Because he had a strong love for his son.B．Because he was too patient with his son.C．Because his son was not listening at all.D．Because he was angry about his son’s response.9．What can we infer from the text?A．Dad was very strict with his son when he lost the race.B．Dad drove his son to Chicago and attended his talks.C．Dad accompanied his son all the way when he grew up.D．Dad was too busy to accompany him when his son was young.10．What is the best title of the text?A．Saying Goodbye to DadB．My Love for ParentsC．My Happy MemoriesD．Company, the Deepest Love11．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with an adverb.12．Which sentence in the text is closest in meaning to the following one?When I was reminded of Dad being willing to devote everything to me, my eyes were filled with tears.13．What did Dad mean by saying seven times “I am going home to Denmark, son, and I want to tell you I love you.”?14．Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese in Paragraph 5.三、七选五Venice Carnival is one of Italy’s most fascinating yearly events. 15．A confusion of color, historical costumes, mysterious masks, and a week of live concerts, street parties and entertainment attract millions of touris ts each year. Here’s everything you need to know before you go.16．Traditionally held around Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, at the start of Lent (40 days before Easter),Venice Carnival ( Carnevale del Veneto ) celebrations can last up to two weeks. 17．However, the biggest events, including the official parades and masked balls, are held over the final weekend.What to DoJoin one of the parades or street parties, and taste traditional Carnival foods such as frittelle, a traditional dessert made only during the festivities. Carnival is the ideal time to experience Venetian culture and traditions. 18．You can also take part in a mask-making workshop, tour Venice’s cicchetti bars for a bite to eat, sail up and down the Grand Canal on a romantic Venice boat ride, or attend an evening Carnival concert or dinner theater performance.Things to KnowSt. Mark’s Square ( Piazza San Marco) is the center of Carnival celebrations with daily parades, performances and other activities. Most Carnival events, except for the masked balls and gala dinners, are free to attend.19．So prepare for cold weather and possible rain, with an average high of 46℉(8℃) in February.A．When to GoB．Where to StayC．Carnival falls during winter in Venice.D．Most visitors choose to arrive on the final weekend.E.It is also one of the oldest festivals celebrated in the city.F.There’s a busy schedule of both free and ticketed events throughout the time.G.Get into the carnival spirit by buying or renting a traditional costume or Venetian mask.四、完形填空The LEGO story started in a Danish woodworking shop.

As a young man, Christiansen turned his love of playing with wood into a 21 and, in 1916, he opened his own shop.At first, his shop produced furniture like ladders, stools and ironing boards. But in 1924, his sons 22 set a pile of wood chips in the shop on fire, 23 the entire building and the family’s home.Despite a total 24 , Christiansen saw the fire as an excuse to simply 25 a larger workshop.Tragedy (悲剧) continued to 26 , however. In 1929, the American economic depression broke out, and his wife died in 1932.

The decision didn’t pay off at first. But his love of toys pushed the company ahead,even when it was 33 the toughest times.It turned out he was a brilliant toymaker. Soon, his wonderful models of cars and animals and his adorable pull toys gained a national popularity. His bestseller, a wooden duck 34 mouth opens and closes when pulled,is now still a hot hit.
