rooftop pool,the Hi Hotel Eco Spa Beach has received Green Globe certification for using recycled paper,organic(有机的)paint,eco-friendly cleaning products and organic food.Garonga Safari

and goods are sourced locally where possible.Additionally,guests are invited to offset their carbon footprint by helping with the planting and growing of Spesbok Trees in the Eastern Cape.Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa,MaldivesPark Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa combines environment and modern design to offer guests the luxurious experience.Various parts of the hotel are built over the water in the Indian Ocean in order to reduce interference(干扰)with the natural environment.The Park Hyderabad,Hyderabad,IndiaLocated within a10-minute car ride from the centre of Hyderabad.The Park Hyderaba's exterior(外部)makes full use of natural light,reducing the need for electricity.Green transportation,bikes and electric cars,is encouraged.Spice Island Beach Resort,St.George's，GrenadaOwned and run by Sir Royston Hopkin and his family,Spice Island Beach Resort is a luxurious destination for guests hoping to bathe in the natural beauty of the Isle of Spice.It uses solar heating and all forms of energy conservation.Smoking of any kind is forbidden in the areas or the hotel.1.What's special about Hi Hotel?A.It puts a ban on cars.B.It provides green food.C.It encourages guests to plant trees.D.It offers employment opportunities to the locals.2.How does Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa protect the environment?A.It is partly built over the sea.B.It has simply-decorated rooms.C.It makes full use of natural light.D.It uses eco-friendly cleaning products.3.Which hotel bans smoking?A.Hi Hotel.B.The Park Hyderabad.C.Garonga Safari Camp.D.Spice Island Beach Resort.BWhat's safer?Using a numeric PIN code(数字密码)to unlock your smartphone or relying on a swipe(滑动)pattern?New research suggests that,at least when someone close by could be looking over your shoulder,you might be safer with an old-fashioned PIN.The research by the United States Naval Academy and the University of Maryland tested what could best secure smartphones from so-called"shoulder surfing attacks".So,if you are worried about someone looking over your shoulder while you unlock your phone,would you be wiser to use a PIN or a pattern?According to this research at least,the answer to that question is pretty clear.Those who have a single observation of your screen as you unlock it with a swipe pattern will be successful in knowing it64.2%of the time.Security can be improved somewhat by removing lines on the pattern lock(35.3%success rate for shoulder surfers).By comparison,the use of a six-digit PIN greatly reduces the chances for an attacker to determine how to unlock your smartphone,with just10.8%of attacks being successful.In tests, viewers were able to determine the users'lock-screen patterns from up to six feet away,from a variety of different angles,even after a single viewing.Indeed,when it comes to safety,past research has determined that an unlock pattern is about the same as a three-digit PIN-something I hope that none of us would rely upon.The researchers'conclusion is that a PIN of six digits or more is the most secure de fence against shoulder surfing attacks,and while both types of pattern lock are poor,patterns without lines provide greater security.Unsurprisingly,the research confirmed that phones with larger screens were found to provide less security against shoulder surfing attacks.4.What did the research focus on?A.What lock-screen patterns people use.B.When shoulder surfing attacks occur.C.Why people prefer numeric PIN codes.D.How you can unlock your phone safely.5.What do we learn about shoulder surfing attacks?A.They can increase our screen time.B.They are a threat to our privacy.C.They are a kind of physical attack.D.They can be done through remote control.6.Which of the following proves to be the safest?A.A six-digit PIN.B.A three-digit PIN.C.A lock-screen pattern with lines.D.A lock-screen pattern without lines.7.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A.Add some background information.B.Provide some advice for the readers.C.Offer additional topic-related information.D.Summarize the previous paragraphs.COn Tuesday,Apple's CEO Tim Cook announced the Apple Watch.The new smart device, which is worn on the wrist,just like a normal watch,can do all the things a cell phone does--and more.At$349,the Apple Watch is expensive.Some experts doubt that they will become as successful as smartphones.It does seem likely,though,that the device will open yet another door in personal computing.The watch is the smartest computer yet.It taps you on the wrist whenever a new message comes in.It prepares answers to questions you receive from friends.It reminds you where you parked your car.It tracks your health.It even allows you to send your heartbeat to others.When it goes on sale early next year,it will be Apple's first item in a new category of technology--wearable computers.If the Apple Watch becomes popular,it will change the way the world interacts with computers.People may depend on the smart jewelry even more than they already depend on their phones."It might not only be a game changer for Apple,but for the entire industry."says technology expert Daniel Ives."A lot of major technology players around the globe are taking notes on what Apple is trying to do here."The Apple watch is specially designed for a smaller device.An entire computer fits onto a single chip(芯片).Users will be able to scroll(滚屏)just like they would do on an iPhone.It will have a built-in speaker for alarms that users can both hear and feel.Pressing the side button brings up contacts so you can communicate with people quickly and easily.Apple Watch also introduces health and fitness apps that can help people lead healthier lives.The built-in heart rate sensor(传感器)and GPS will track calories burned and workouts.According to Matt Vella,a writer for TIME magazine,the watch is the most exciting device since the iPad.After actually trying the watch,he says,“It sits on the wrist very naturally.You could easily forget you are wearing the Apple Watch,and you will."8.What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph imply?A.Apple Watch will include many new games.B.Many game developers will pay attention to Apple Watch.C.Apple plays an important part in the personal computing field.D.Apple Watch will greatly influence the personal computing field.9.The fourth paragraph mainly tells us.A.how the Apple Watch worksB.the small size of the Apple WatchC.what information we can get from the Apple WatchD.the difference between the Apple Watch and the iPhone10.The side button on the Apple Watch is used to.A.sound the alarmB.adjust the built-in speakerC.build the man-machine communicationD.make the health and fitness apps start working11.What is Matt Vella's attitude towards the Apple Watch?A.Doubtful.B.Favorable.C.Objective.D.Unbelievable.DCruz Genet,11,and Anthony Skopick,10,couldn’t agree.Were the birds out on the ice ducks or geese?So on a cold January evening last year,the two friends ventured(冒险)onto the frozen pond near their homes in Frankfort,Illinois,to get a better look.First,they threw a rock onto the ice to test it,Cruz told NBC5Chicago.“Then we stepped on it.”Convinced the ice would hold their weight,Anthony took a few steps,but then he fell through the seemingly frozen surface.Cruz rushed to help his panicked friend.However,the pond swallowed him,too.Cruz managed to lift himself out of the extremely cold water and onto a more solid section.He then gingerly worked his way toward Anthony.But the ice didn’t hold,and he fell in again.This ime, he couldn’t get out.The boys were up to their necks in icy water and quickly losing feeling.Any chance of their freeing themselves was slipping away.Cruz was sure that he was going to die.Anthony’s older sister had seen the boys fall through the ice and started screaming,wishing someone to save them.John Lavin,a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the grocery store,heard her.He quickly pulled over.Seeing the boys,he grabbed(抓住)a nearby buoy(救生圈),kicked off his shoes,and ran into the cold water,struggling his way through the vin made his way to Cruz and Anthony and pulled them back to land.The boys were taken to the hospital,where doctors discovered that their five-minute stay in the water had lowered their body temperature nearly ten degrees.Fortunately,they have fully recovered,though they are still a little amazed by their fearless neighbor.“Just to think,”says Cruz,“if he hadn’t been there,I could have died.”12.Why did the boys venture onto the frozen pond?A.To have a better look at the frozen pond.B.To catch the birds in the pond with rocks.C.To find out what the birds on the ice were.D.To test the thickness of the ice in the pond.13.What does the underlined word“gingerly”in paragraph2probably mean?A.Casually.B.Proudly.C.Firmly.D.Cautiously.14.What drew John Lavin’s attention to the boys?A.Anthony’s older sister’s cry for help.B.Cruz’s loud and frightening scream.C.Their shoes along the nearby pond.D.Their neighbors’pulling them back.15.Which of the following words can best describe John Lavin?A.Hard-working and helpful.B.Warm-hearted and courageous.C.Curious and selfless.D.Active and generous.二、七选五How to Write an EmailWhile many people are accessible by email,sometimes it is difficult to determine how exactly to write an email to them.16.Write an appropriate subject line.The subject line should tell the recipient(接收者) immediately what the email is about.17.Remember that your wording also has to be brief.18.It is best to be more formal rather than informal,so when writing to someone you have never met or written to before,a“Dear Jane Smith”is appropriate.When addressing someone whom you are a little familiar with,a“Dr.Smith”is okay until they tell you to address them by their first name,in which case a simple“Jane”will be okay.State your purpose at the beginning.Within the first two sentences of your email,your recipient should know exactly why you are writing to him.Sometimes an introduction may have to precede(先于)the sentence that states why you are writing and sometimes it has to follow.Use appropriate language.You may be used to using informal language in certain social settings.19.Even when dealing with colleagues or friends you are familiar with,do not immediately fall back on informal language.Keep it simple.People may get dozens and even hundreds of emails a day.20.In that way, they can save much of their time when reading emails.e proper greetings.B.Express your ideas clearly.C.Here are some tips for you to follow.D.You should avoid spelling and grammar mistakes.E.Be as specific as possible when writing the subject.F.However,an email may not be the best place to use such language.G.It is always easier for them if you keep your email as short and brief as possible.三、完形填空I spent last summer volunteering at a hospital．One morning，I was called to a room in

安徽省肥东县高级中学2020-2021学年高二上学期10月国庆假期检测卷A英语试题含答案
肥东县高级中学2020-2021学年高二上学期10月国庆假期检测卷英语试题一、阅读理解A''Do not tell anyone''. We often hear these words when someone tells us a secret. But keeping a secret is hard. We're often tempted(引诱) to ''spill the beans'', even if we regret it later.According to the professor, Asim Shah, keeping a secret may well ''become a burden''. This is because people often have an ''eager and anxious urge(冲动) to share it with someone''. An earlier study, led by Anita, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted(托付) with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.Secrets are so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. ''Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone. '' according to Shah.He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn't mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you'd better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn't give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone's secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn't so secret anymore.1.What does the underlined phrase ''spill the bean'' in Para 1 mean? ________.A.tell the truthB.let out a secretC.eat our wordsD.talk nothing2.What can we learn from the passage?A.A person entrusted with a secret will suffer from psychological problems only.B.Sharing secrets helps establish friendship or get over the sense of guilt.C.Quiet people are more likely to keep the secrets to themselves.D.Putting yourself in others' shoes helps realize the difficulty of keeping secrets.3.What may be the best title for the passage?A.Still tongues make wise heads.B.Walls have ears.C.Every wall has a crack.D.A word spoken is past recalling.BWhen 6-year-old Jack Foley crossed the finish line last month at the Long Beach Kids Triathlon, it was more than an athletic achievement. His completion marked a remarkable recovery from a rare heart condition.The journey began before Jack was born.At a routine 20-week examination, doctors told parents-to-be Rob Foley and Lauren Kiefer-Foley of Long Island, New York, that the fetus’ (胎儿的) heart wasn’t properly developing. “The doctor told us, ‘we can’t see the left side of the baby’s heart,’ Kiefer-Foley recalled.” He told us, “you need to get to a cardiologist (心脏病专家) first thing in the morning.”Further tests would confirm a diagnosis of hypo plastic left heart syndrome, a rare birth fault affecting the heart’s ability to pump blood through the body. Doctors informed the couple about the risks and challenges their child could face. “We were advised by many doctors t o terminate our pregnancy because the condition is so severe. They told us that most babies don’t even survive birth, let alone the first surgery,” Kiefer-Foley said.Nonetheless, the couple decided to give their baby a chance.After Jack was born at full-term via a scheduled C-section (剖腹产), doctors took him straight to a care unit to administer the level of care he would need before his first open-heart surgery days later. “When the doctor said ‘it’s a boy!’ I didn’t get to see him for hours after that.” Kiefer-Foley said. They would also have to wait until after Jack’s first surgery to hold him for the first time.With a successful delivery behind them, it was now up to Dr. Emile Bacha, chief of Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital to guide Jack through a series of surgeries to repair the newborn’s heart.4.Why did the author say “it was more than an athletic achievement” in Paragraph 1?A.Jack was only six years old.B.The event was too difficult.C.Jack once suffered from severe heart disease.D.Jack didn’t recover from severe heart disease.5.What was the bad effect of Jack’s disease?A.It led to inadequate blood supply.B.The beat of heart was not heard.C.His intelligence will not develop properly.D.The right side of the baby’s heart can’t be seen.6.Wh at does the underlined word “terminate” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.continueB.stopC.changeD.adjust7.What will most probably be talked about in the next part of the text?A.Jack’s journey all over the world.B.The sorrow and despair of Jack’s parents.C.Jack’s major academic achievement.D.Jack’s remarkable recovery from heart disease.CThis could be the perfect gift for the partner,who embarrasses you on the dance floor.Smart socks,which can teach to dance,may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills.Thanks to the socks,users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well.It means the user maximizes their performance,and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt.The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet.They look,feel and can be washed like normal clothes.Sensors（传感器）record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter（脚踝发射器）to a smart phone. The n a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong,and help to improve skill in any task with feet.The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers."People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,"Dr Davide Vigano said.A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year.This is pretty much more than any other human activity.Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance,play sports such as golf,or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels. Mr.Vigano said,“People could all benefit from the idea.We have had interest from all sorts of sports,like skiing, football,cycling and golf.Anything where you have to use your feet can use it.It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”Socks are just the start,and the technology could be used in gloves,hats and boots.The socks,anklet and software package,are expected to be sold for around￡120,which will go on sale in March.8.What does the underlined part "anyone with two left feet" refer to?A.

To try to get his peers（同龄人）to do the same, the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank, the Bartselana Student Bank, which allows kids of all ages to become financially（金融上）independent while also helping the environment.Set up in 2012, the bank is the world's first bank for kids. To become a member, a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste（固体废弃物）and set a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank "partners" are required to save at least one more kilogram of recyclables every month and follow other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops.The waste in the bank is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to Jose's efforts, pay a higher-than-market price for everything brought in by the bank members. The money received is placed in the personal account（账户）where they collect until the savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw the money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger aim. "At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not do this type of project," Jose recalls, "They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class."The boy's efforts paid off, and by 2013, the bank had over 200 members, who brought in one ton of recyclable waste. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers. They are designed to teach the over 3,000 students, aged 10 to 18, to become financially independent, use their money wisely, and help the environment.Not surprisingly, Jose's efforts have earned him several national and international awards. On November 20, 2019, Jose won Children's Climate Prize, which comes with a medal and $5,500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has achieved a great achievement for the climate or environment.（1）Why did Jose set up the bank?A.To raise money and set up a recycling company.B.To buy necessities and donate them to needy kids.C.To save much money and protect the environment.D.To educate the students and help them win prizes.（2）How can a kid be admitted to the eco-bank?A.By donating to the eco-bank.B.By turning in one kilogram of waste in a month.C.By sending in an application.D.By presenting a goal and a certain amount of waste.（3）How did the teachers feel about Jose's program?A.Doubtful.B.Excited.C.Moved.D.Worried.（4）What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A.How the environment is improved.B.What achievement the project has achieved.C.How tons of waste has been recycled.D.What support the local institutions get.3.The people of Reykjavik, capital city of Iceland, are used to lying down for the winter, when each day brings with it only a few hours of sunlight. February coming, they're more than ready to wake up from hibernation（冬眠）and welcome the first signs of spring. The local government decided this was a good time of a year to try to raise people's spirits, and in 2002 they set up the Winter Lights Festival（February 7 to 10）. Starting out as Museum Night, when museums waived their fees and stayed open until midnight, the festival has grown to an event that marks the coming return of daylight. For a few days, the city comes alive with bright lights, street performances, theater, dances, and live music. Shops, cafes, outdoor hot pools and the museums stay open until 12:00 pm and they are all free of charge with free bus services provided. Here are another two things about Reykjavik that will help you celebrate the coming end of winter.The Blue Lagoon is Iceland's most famous tourist attraction. Being an amazing place at any time of day, it is magical at dusk, when the steamy, ice blue waters shine in color. Little wooden bridges and walkways connect smaller pools with a larger pool, which contains geothermal（地热的）seawater heated from 37℃ to 39℃. The Lava Restaurant has great views over the waters. Basic entrance to the lagoon costs $44.The Imagine Peace Tower, Yoko Ono's memorial（纪念碑）to John Lennon, was first lit by Ono on October 9, 2007, Lennon's birthday, and shone until December 8, the date he waskilled in 1980. It's lit on the same date every year, as well as New Year's Eve and the spring equinox（春分）, which in 2013 is on March 20.

The agency's program, Healthier US School Challenge: Smarter Lunchrooms（HUSSC: SL）, fights against childhood obesity by helping students across the country get healthy food.Unfortunately, many students don't get enough healthy food, especially those from low-income families. "Without enough healthy food, kids will develop health problems, such as diabetes（糖尿病）or heart-related diseases." the Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack says. These conditions can make kids less productive at school and increase health care costs for their parents. Millions of children in the US depend on meals provided by their schools. In 2012, more than 31 million children ate school lunches, and 12.5 million ate school breakfasts. HUSSC: SL decides to make the most out of school meals. It recognizes（认可）schools that have joined Team Nutrition, a USDA program that helps schools provide healthy meals and health education.There are four levels of Team Nutrition cognition（认可）: bronze, silver, gold, and the gold award of distinction. For each level, schools must complete the Smarter Lunchrooms Scorecard. The program provides a checklist which asks schools to consider everything from low-fat milk to their lunch menus（菜单）. To meet the need of bronze, schools must offerat least 30 items（物品）on the checklist. Silver or gold schools must offer 50 items, while the highest level, gold distinction, must offer 70 items.Schools that achieve each standard are added to a list of winners on Team Nutrition's website.Vilsack says that in 2009, only 100 schools earned Team Nutrition recognition. Since then, many schools have made changes in their menus and education programs. Now more than 6,000 schools nationwide have earned recognition. And the USDA is not alone in this cause. The then First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move Campaign works together with HUSSC to spread the message.（1）The main purpose of the program HUSSC: SL is to ________.A.help low-income families get richB.provide people with healthy foodC.solve kid's health problem of obesityD.draw the public attention to childhood obesity（2）What won't be caused by kid's not having enough healthy food?A.Becoming poor in studies.B.Developing some diseases.C.Spending more on health care.D.Having difficulty in losing weight.（3）It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.A.Team Nutrition is successful in the USB.Team Nutrition has attracted international attentionC.schools focus more on children's study in the USD.the education system has been changed in the US（4）What can be used as the best title of the passage?A.Keeping schools healthyB.Healthier school mealsC.Packing a safe lunchD.Obesity numbers falling二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出空白处的最佳选项。

Even worse, it ___41___ our kids.Al Gore famously ___42___ how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, even though the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, ___43___ that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.When ___44___ with these exaggerations, some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no harm done if the result is that we focus even more on handling climate change.This ___45___ is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying excessively about global warming means that we worry less about other things, where we could do so much more good. We focus, ___46___, on global warming's impact on malaria (疟疾)----which will put slightly more people at ___47___in 100 years - instead of dealing with the half a billion people ___48___ from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that are much cheaper and dramatically more effective than carbon reduction would be.Exaggeration also wears out the public's ___49___ to cope with global warming. If the planet is certain to be destroyed owing to global warming, people wonder, why do anything? A record 54% of American voters now believe the news media make global warming appear worse than it really is. A ___50___ of people now believe – incorrectly – that global warming is not even caused by humans.But the ___51___ cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes – particularly among children. An article in The Washington Post cited nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal ___52___ from global warming.The newspaper also reported that parents are ___53___ effective outlets for their eight-year-olds' concern with dying polar bears.

They might start with a “brain age” score of 60 and after a few weeks of (53)________, will be told they have reduced it to 40.
