Then three years ago, he launched his program, called "Book and Me”.He purchased a second-hand Honda motorbike for 30,000 Sri Lankan rupees($162), On his off days—mostly during weekends—he rides his motorbike, which is fixed with a steel box to hold books, to rural villages and distributes the reading material to children free of charge.He began the pro gram in 2017 with 150 books—some of his own and others donated by friends colleagues and well-wishers. His collection includes about 3,000 books on a variety of subjects. So far, he said, his program has benefited more than 1 ,500 children, as well as about 150 adults.“I wanted to do something for children who are burdened with an exam-centered education. . . And to change the way kids look at society, to change their perspectives and broaden their imagination, M he said.Apart from giving away books, Dasanayaka also speaks to the children for a few minutes, usually under a roadside tree, highlighting the value of reading, books and authors. He then conducts a discussion on books the children have read, with the aim of eventually forming reading clubs.While Dasanayaka spends his own money on his program, he is not wealthy, with a take- home income of 20,000 rupees ( $108 ) a month from his job. He said he spends about a quarter of that on gasoline for his mobile library.4. How did Dasanayaka start "Book and Me”?A. With a large sum of money.B. With a used motorbike and 150 books.C. By subscribing to books for children.D. By borrowing a steel box from his workmate.5. What do we know about Dasanayaka from his words in Paragraph 5?A. He is uncertain about his program.B. He is trying to better kids' living conditions.C. He is seeking to change kids' ways of thinking.D. He is optimistic about the existing schooling system.6. Why does Dasanayaka hold discussions on books kids read?A. To keep in touch with them.B. To prepare to start reading clubs.C. To check their reading assignments.D. To know about their preferences of books.7. What is the best title for the text?A. A Reading ProgramB. An Education OfficerC. A Library on WheelsD. A Motorbike on RoadCYou've likely encountered the humblebrag before-boasting (吹嘘)disguised as a complaint, such as:"I'm having such a stressful day. I got two job offers and I don't know what to do.”This is a typical example of humblebragging, a term coined by comedic writer Harris Wittels referring to “ a specific type of boast that allows the offender to broadcast their achievements without the necessary shame and guilt that should normally accompany such claims.” In simpler terms, it's a way to disguise a boast with some humility. Humblebragging comes in two different forms. The first is humility-based, an example being, "can't believe I got the highest grade in my class”. The second type comes mixed with a bit of complaint, for example, " I can't believe that shopkeeper asked me for ID. I'm 25 !”People don't like when others humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity. Sincerity is a critical dimension of social evaluation, which is viewed as fundamental to people's identity. In fact, people prize sincerity even above competence and warmth in others, according to Dr. Sezer.If humblebragging doesn't work, and no one likes it, why do we still do it? We all want to highlight our positive qualities without seeming proud. By speaking in a complaint or an expression of humility, we hope we'll somehow land on the “ sweet spot" of self-presentation :promoting ourselves while also conveying likability. In addition, research suggests that people may experience positive emotions while humblebragging.Considering that we're all likely to feel the urge to humblebrag, at least to some extent, the proper response when we hear a friend doing it may be to simply let it go-because ultimately we're going to do it ourselves, and who really wants to be called out on it?8. Which of the following remarks is an example of humblebragging?A. How I hate hearing my voice on TV!B. I'm thrilled to be awarded the first prize.C. I'm the only person to get promoted in the firm.D. How I dislike doing the same thing every day!9. Which can best describe people's impression of humblebraggers?A. Honest.B. Humble.C. Insincere.D. Incapable.310. Why do people humblebrag?A. To lift up their spirits.B. To express their complaints.C. To improve their moral qualities.D. To show off without bringing annoyance.11. What are people advised to do when hearing humblebragging from a friend?A. Follow it up.B. Leave it alone.C. Turn against it.D. Get to the root of it.DThe twilight zone (朦胧地带)contains the largest and least explored fish stocks (储备)of the world's oceans. Ranging from just below 200 metres to 1 ,000 metres deep, it is an interface between the well-studied sea life in the sunlit zone above and the ecosystems of the darkest territory below. It has a major role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it for centuries or longer. The twilight zone is also known to the largest migration on Earth. Huge numbers of fishes and zooplankton (浮游动物)move hundreds of metres towards the surface each night to feed, before withdrawing back down at dawn.Yet the zone is poorly understood — physically, biogeochemically and ecologically. Even the number of organisms that live there remains a mystery, let alone their diversity and function.It is alarming, then, that this vast ocean domain is at risk in three ways-even before any of the potential consequences are understood. First, the world's growing population has an increasing need for food. Second, sea-floor mining for minerals and metals could release waste into the region. And third, climate change is varying temperature, acidification and oxygen levels in ways that are likely to affect life there.The twilight zone is hard Io study. Its organisms are difficult to sample and analyse, being thinly distributed, almost invisible and often fragile. They also live at pressures of up to 100 atmospheres, which poses problems for laboratory-based investigations.Critics might argue that walers near coasts and above shelves are more deserving of study, given the huge environmental pressures there, as well as their importance to societies. And, of course, they need attention. Sadly, however, it is too late to avoid widespread environmental damage to these inshore regions. Instead, research efforts and local policies must aim at minimizing the worst effects.By contrast, the twilight zone is almost left in its original condition. Moreover, the majority of it lies beyond national administration. This makes it of common interest and responsibility, and means that global agreement is necessary to manage it.12. What can we learn about the twilight zone?A. It has the least fish stocks.B. It reduces atmosphere's carbon dioxide.C. It lies at the bottom of sea.D. Il is located above the sunlit zone.13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A. Where global warming leads us.B. Why high food consumption arises.C. How the twilight zone is threatened.D. What impacts pollution has on ocean.14. What does the underlined word "it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The twilight zone.B. The inshore area.C. Its original condition.D. National administration.15. Which statement does the author agree with?A. International cooperation is essential.B. Inshore regions deserve more attention.C. Global agreement has been reached.D. Study on the twilight zone is out of the question.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It was made in 1734, in Italy, by Antonio Stradivari. Only about 600 of his violins are believed to still exist. They were regarded as the rarest and best instruments in the world.Roman’s Stradivarius was his musical partner for 38 years. Then bad luck struck; the violin was stolen from his office after a concert while he greeted well-wishers. He was shocked and upset by its loss. “Yes, it’s a bit like losing your arm,” he told his daughter, Jill.It took Roman a year to find and buy a new violin as the size and tones (音质) of each were different from his. He had to learn his musical pieces all over again! Roman kept playing into his 90s and taught at Boston University until he died in 2012, aged 101.His daughter says, “We wondered from time to time if the violin would surface, but... Our mother and father taught us to keep moving forward and not think over what life throws at you.”In 2015, the wife of the man who stole the violin wanted to know if it was really a Stradivarius. She had looked after him when he was dying from cancer and now it belonged to her. She took it to master violin maker and dealer Phillip Injeia. He recognized it immediately and contacted the FBI. Jill, who received the call from FBI, said in an interview, “I said, ‘I have to call my sisters. I’ll tell them not to get their hopes up,’ but Phillip Injeian said, ‘You don’t have to do that. This is the violin.’”Jill said they would sell the violin, not to a collector but someone who would play it. She said it would finally be in the hands of another great artist and its amazing voice would be heard in concert halls around the country.4.Why did Roman feel like he had lost an arm after the violin was stolen?A.It cost him a lot of money.B.It had served as a useful arm.C.It had been his musical partner.D.It was created by a famous maker.5.What is the turning point of this story?A.The FBI got in touch with Jill.B.The Stradivarius was found missing.C.Roman Totenberg died in 2012, aged 101.D.The violin was taken to a master violin maker and dealer.6.Why would the family like the violin to be owned by a violinist?A.They intended to become well-known.B.They wanted to sell it at a higher price.C.They hoped to remember Roman Totenberg.D.They wished to make the most of the Stradivarius.7.Which words can best describe Phillip Injeian?A.Expert and confident.B.Creative and careful.C.Learned and proud.D.Strong-willed and friendly.It’s reported that about 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest has disappeared during thespecies native to the Amazon River area, it’s affecting humans worldwide. When it comes to the protection of the Amazon, it’s hard for many people to relate because they don’t feel connected to the area. There are actually a lot of direct connections, no matter how far away we are.A connection that affects everyone on the planet is climate (气候) change. Planting new trees in the forest is basically a way of removing CO2 from the air. Rain forests have a carbon (碳) reduction nearly equal to half of what is in the air. About half of that is in the Amazon. Another case in point is a big snake called the bushmaster that lives in the Amazon. Today, millions of people use medicines made from its venom (毒液) to treat high blood pressure. So they have longer, fuller, and more productive lives.In the 1960s, there was only one highway in the entire Amazon. That’s an area as large as the continental United States with one highway and three million people. Today, there are between 30 million to 40 million people, countless roads, and about 20 percent forests have been cut down. But on the plus side, 50 years ago there were only two national parks and a national forest and a reserve in Brazil. Today, more than 50 percent of the Amazon is under some form of protection.“There’s been a lot of damage done and forest lost, but nothing is gone until it’s gone”, noted National Geographic explorer Dr. Thomas Lovejoy. “We want to see more shared planning between the departments of transportation, energy, agriculture, and the other industries in the area. We think Amazon cities can have higher quality of life and keep people in existing cities so there’s less reason to deforest.”8.Which can replace the underlined word “Deforestation” in paragraph 1?A.Planting more trees.B.Destroying the forests.C.Protecting the species.D.Polluting the rivers.9.What might the partial loss of the Amazon rainforest lead to?A.The increase of extreme weather.B.The removal of CO2.C.More people with high blood pressure.D.The overgrowth of the bushmaster. 10.How does paragraph 3 mainly develop?A.By making comparisons.B.By listing reasons.C.By explaining a definition.D.By making a summary.11.What is Dr. Thomas’ attitude towards the future of the Amazon rainforest?A.Doubtful.B.Worried.C.Positive.D.Uncaring.While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.The team studied the daytime screen-based activities of 475 teenagers using daily surveys. They asked the teens how many hours they had spent that day communicating with friends through social media and how many hours they spent playing video games, surfing the internet and watching television or videos. Finally, the researchers asked if they had joined in any of these activities in the hour before bed.Next, the team measured their sleep time for one week. The researchers found that the teens spent an average of two hours per day communicating with friends via social media, about 1.3 hours playing video games, less than an hour surfing the internet and about 1.7 hours watching television or videos. For every hour throughout the day that they used screens to communicate with friends, they fell asleep about 11 minutes later averagely. For every hour to play video games, they fell asleep about 9 minutes later. Those who talked, texted orplayed games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later.Interestingly, David, lead author of the study, said the team found no obvious relations between passive screen-based activities and sleep. “It could be that passive activities are less mentally exciting than interactive activities,” said Anne, co-author of the study. “It’s a tricky situation,” she said. “These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.”12.Which of the following belongs to interactive screen activities?A.Seeing movies.B.Watching videos.C.Texting friends.D.Surfing the internet.13.Who might lose the most sleep according to the text?A.Lucy who watched a three-hour movie before going to bed.B.Jack who had a 30-minute video chat with his brother before bed.C.Sam who played computer games for two hours throughout the day.D.Amy who chatted with her friends on WeChat for one hour in the morning. 14.What does the underlined word “tricky” mean in paragraph 4?A.Frightening.B.Awkward.C.Hopeless.D.Encouraging. 15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Screen time activities cut down our sleep hoursB.Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in teenagersC.Passive screen use is better than interactive screen useD.Parents should prevent children from using social mediaReading is a healthy habit that everyone should develop from childhood because of theThe following will discuss the effects of not reading books, so you can basically consider and judge where you are and understand how reading can be beneficial.17 People who don’t read and don’t like to read find it harder to learn than people who actually read. For example, most students who fail to develop a reading habit find it difficult to get through school. This then leads to students dropping out, which is bad for society. Reading is a habit that strengthens the brain and develops your inborn love ofwanting to learn more. Therefore, not being addicted to books closes you off from this.Narrow mindedness. Reading a variety of books broadens the readers’ mind. Most people who don’t read have a certain narrow mindedness to them that can easily be noticed.18 When you don’t read, you’re forced to take everything at face value and then create and shape your views in this way.Low brain power. One advantage of reading is its ability to improve brain function. Reading can help people become better thinkers and use brains more effectively. People who don’t read usually have low brain power because they don’t exercise the brain as much as readers do. 19Poor imagination. Reading books allows you to tap into your imaginative power. 20 This is important because it expands (拓展) your thought process as well as the ability to understand. People who don’t read books usually are short of the inspiration necessary to create imagination. This makes it difficult to be creative.A.Learning difficulty.B.The reason for this is simple.C.Such exercise strengthens the brain.D.Inability to fully understand the world.E.It then makes you picture what you read.F.It is developed slowly just as any habit would.G.The ability to read is important in today’s world.二、完形填空As Hallee gets to the finish line of the 800-metre run for kids, the crowd is cheeringWhen the twins were five, Jada decided that she wanted to be a(n) 27 .

Success comes with patience.CSearches on Google,finding friends through Facebook and being able to buy simply anything on Amazon have all been made possible thanks to major leaps forward in technology over the past 15 years.However,that conies at a price.As our lives are gradually automated,many people are losing their jobs.And advancing technology has not delivered jobs as it should.At the end of 2015 a total of 74,505 employees were working for Google's Alphabet and Facebook,accounting for less than a third of Microsoft's total staff.However,the combined stock-market value of these companies was twice as big as Microsoft's.Newcomer tech giants in the market are in need ofeven fewer workers.In 2016,semiconductor manufacturers slashed their number of workers by half to just 359,000.Despite major concerns about the future of jobs and the economy in general,140 years of data has shown technology as a whole has actually brought to life more jobs than it hasended.Technology has been described as a "great job-creating machine".For instance,while roles in the agriculture,washers,and examples of repetitive services,have decreased,there has been a rise in caring posts,such as teaching,educational support assistants;welfare,housing,youth and community workers;and care workers and home caring.The aging battle between man and machine will continue as it has for centuries.The question is "Are machines taking over our jobs,or is our workload being eased by their presence?" This will be an ongoing debate especially with the current rise in machine learning technology and artificial intelligence.13.What does the underlined word "slashed" in Paragraph 2 mean?______A. Cut.B. Increased.C. Counted.D. Predicted.14.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?______A. Introduce a view.B. Prove a theory.C. State the opposite.D. Draw a conclusion.15.What posts are on the rise thanks to the development of technology?______A. Farmers.B. Washers.C. Miners.D. Teachers.16.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?______A. Is technology leading us nowhere?B. Is technological progress real progress?C. Does technology destroy or create jobs?D. Does technology bring convenience to humans?DIn a small tent in the middle of Panama's rainforest,AaronPomerantz,a biologist at the University of California,set up afield lab filled with microscopes and other lab equipment.Hewas looking for something nearly invisible - transparent (透明的)butterflies known as glasswings.The glasswing butterfly,a baseball-size flier that lives throughout Central and South America,is one of hundreds of butterfly species with transparent wings.This rare adaptation helps it escapepotential pared with other see-through species,such as dragonflies,glasswings are even more skilled at flying through the rainforest unnoticed because their wings don't shine in sunlight.Patel,Pomerantz's Ph.D adviser,has a lifelong interest in glasswings.To understand what makes the glasswings so mysterious,he asked a group of graduate students to take microscopic images of the wings of a dozen or so species of transparent butterflies.A butterfly's wings are made up of a thin layer of a natural polymer(聚合物),which is typically covered with tiny scales(鳞屑).Species with transparent wings have found ways to move light around these scales by producing fewer of them,turning them straight up,or simply getting rid of them.The group found that glasswings not only produce fewer scales,but they also change many of those scales into hair,allowing light to pass through the wings more easily.In addition,the waxy coating slows down light that passes through the wings.That reduction in speed softens the impact of light hitting the scales,further reducing reflection. Understanding these properties could one day help researchers efficiently focus light onto solar panels and create cheaper antireflective lenses(镜头)for cameras or glasses.It's just fascinating to know how nature solves really interesting problems like this.You can pay extra for glasses that have an antireflective coating on them.17.Why does the author mention "dragonflies" in Paragraph 2?______A. To make a comparison.B. To explain a rule.C. To make a prediction.D. To present a fact.18.Why were pictures of wings taken with microscopes?______A. To appreciate their beauty.B. To study their composition.C. To keep them as souvenirs.D. To test the graduate students.19.What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refer to?______A. Ways.B. Wings.C. Species.D. Scales.20.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?______A. Properties of glasswings.B. Cameras in the future.C. Applications of the study.D. Difficulties for future studies.三、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)Rolling hills and endless green farmlands - those images are easy to appear when thinking of the country lifestyle.When lockdowns lasted so long across the world during the pandemic,social media seemed to be full of pictures of cottages and village life - people getting away from it all.So,why is living in the countryside becoming a modern fantasy?(1)______ It makes sense that some people would want to give up the crowded and noisy city streets for the peaceful country life - especially during an event like a pandemic. (2)______ But it's not just about having a greener place to look at out your window.(3)______ Villages don't normally adapt to the stop-go traffic we see in city centres.There's less air pollution in the countryside,which increases the chances of developing respiratory(呼吸的)conditions or heart disease. (4)______ That is to say,you can get more exercise.All above can also lead to less stress and an increased life expectancy.However,there are some things that need to be considered.(5)______ And as people get older,life far from doctors or public transport could become a bit of a challenge.So,if you're considering a change of pace and moving to a peaceful village,there is a range of pros and cons to consider before taking actions.A.Many young are moving to the city to make a fortune.B.Why do people prefer the city life to the country life?C.Are there benefits to considering a slower pace of life?D.There is more evidence that relates to the benefits of rural living.E.You also get more opportunities to take long walks and see the sights.F.Living far from the city means some people may feel separated or even lonely.G.The lockdowns have given people time to think about what they want from life.21.

As we all know, in daily life, many people want to get in shape. If you happen to be one of them, where will you get started?Diet comes first. 16 Health experts have long noted the importance of physical activities.17 Physical activity burns calories-the more calories you consume, the easier it is to control or lose your weight. Besides, it helps to reduce the risk of some diseases, including heart disease, stroke and even some kinds of cancer.Physical activity is also known to increase the release of endorphins (内啡肽), which help people to reduce pain and feel more happy and peaceful as well. 18 Some experts believe it's the act of exercising itself. Others say it's the feeling one gets from having met an exercise goal. Either way, the two things work together when it comes to improving one's emotional health.So exactly how much exercise do you need to do to gain all of these great health effects? Different people, different ideas. Experts say it is easier than you think-one activity is better than none. 19To get the most from your exercise plan, you are advised to choose physical activities that you find fun. 20 What you really like, sometimes, outweighs what is popular among the public.A. It helps to guarantee that you can stay with the program.B. Keeping a balanced diet contributes a lot to your health.C. You can release some bad emotions by physical activities.D. Exercise is a good way for you to maintain physical health.E. So, if you are not doing anything, now is the time to get started.F. There is some debate about exactly what causes the release of them.G. However, diet alone won't do much good without an exercise plan.16—20 GDFEA山东省潍坊市2020-2021学年高三上学期期末试题英语试题第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
