AWhen Sabrina Vega was 5 years old, a friend invited her to a party held at a gym where Sabrina discovered that she loved doing gymnastics.A few nights after the party, Sabrina had a dream．She told her mother, Jahira, about the dream.Jahira said, "Sabrina said that in her dream she went to the Olympics. She described everything at this international competition. At first I did not take her story seriously."But Sabrina kept talking about her dream. She told it to her father, David. So Jahira and David decided to pay for Sabrina to learn gymnastics. So Sabrina started to train at a special and competitive gym. Though only 7 years old, she was already training to compete at a high level. The years passed quickly. Sabrina got better and better. By the time she was 12 years old, Sabrina was training so many hours each day that she did not have time to do things that many other Americans of the same age did.When Sabrina was 13, she had a chance to compete in a national gymnastics event. If she did well, the event would give her the chance to join the national team－the team that trains for the Olympics.But the family was out of money. Jahira had to tell Sabrina that she could not go. Jahira said, "Tears came to her eyes, and she said, ‘I understand.’"A week or two later, a rich family came to visit Sabrina's gym unexpectedly. They watched Sabrina train.

Another Chinese pop singer, Zhang Jie, won the International Artist Award.But while fans of these singers are thinking highly of the awards and the performance by the Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA celebration, there are others who are less excited. They have questioned the value of the awards and what effects it will have on Chinese culture's "going abroad", claiming it may leave foreign audiences with a poor impression of Chinese pop music, and even Chinese culture.The Little Apple phenomenon, both home and abroad, can be more easily understood and judged if we look at it from a business perspective rather than a cultural perspective. The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy to promote the duo and their works, not just this particular song. Little Apple was originally released to promote the duo's film Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon.From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm, easy-to-remember lyrics, simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grass roots nature. The video accumulated more than 1 billion hits on China's major video websites.Although the song was generally dismissed by music professionals who criticized it as "musical junk food", Little Apple's popularity nationally paved the way for promoting the duo internationally.25. The writer’s attitude to the song of Little Apple is ______.A. opposedB. negativeC. objectiveD. critical26. What does the underlined words “the duo” refer to?A. Little Apple.B. Chopsticks brothers.C. Zhang Jie.D. American singers.27. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. Little Apple's popularity is also a success of marketing strategyB. Little Apple is generally thought worthless by the AMAC. Little Apple is really popular with all people in ChinaD. Little Apple was originally released as a pop song on the InternetCSunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if proper care isn’t given immediately.Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above the safe limits. This causes the body's necessary functions to stop working.It's usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person's body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat s unstroke.Call for helpCall to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted（昏迷）. Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you' re in a public place. If there's no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an amb ulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn't much nearby.Get the person to a cooler areaIf there's a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners and water is perfect. If a building isn't available, bring the person to a well-shaded area.Get the water flowingIf the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there's a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person's body. Focus on the face, neck, and chest.Fan the personGetting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.28. When does a person get sunstroke?A. When the body doesn't function.B. When proper care is given immediately.C. When someone is exposed to the sun too long.D. When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.29. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A.

Call for assistance from others.B. Leave the sunstroke person in the shade.C. Put a wet towel on the person's face.D. Help the person take some medicine.31. The text probably comes from____________.A. a guide bookB. a book reviewC. a medical magazineD. an official documentDI used to joke that I spoke French like a 3-year-old. Until I met a French 3-year-old and couldn’t keep the conversation. This was after a year of intense study, including at least two hours a day with Rosetta Stone, Fluenz and other self-instruction software, joining study groups and watching French movies. However, my failure at French was the best thing I could have done for my 57-year-old brain.In the last few years, unable to hold a list of just four grocery items in my head, I began to worry about my state of mind. So to comfort myself that nothing was wrong, just before learning French I took a test. I scored below average for my age group in all of the subjects.Because learning a foreign language is a difficult task for adults, I worked my brains hard to learn it. Surprisingly, my failure at French study produced an unexpected benefits. After a year of struggling with the language, I retook the test, and the results shocked me. My scores had improved, placing me above average in seven of 10 subjects, and average in the other three. My verbal memory score jumped from the bottom half to the 88. Studying a language had been like drinking from a mental fountain of youth.What might explain such an improvement?A researcher said that language study was beneficial to older adults, noting that the cognitive(认知) tasks involved — including working memory, and task switching — are closely related to the areas of the brain that are most connected with declines due to aging. In other words, the things that make second language study so mad for grown-ups are the very things that may make the effort so beneficial. So I plan to spend the next year learning Italian.32. According to the text, Rosetta Stone is ____________.A. a person who helps the author learn FrenchB. a Frenc h study groupC. a kind of self-instruction softwareD. a French study programme33. How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A. Giving up language study is totally wrong.B. Studying a language satisfies your needs.C. Studying a language gives you much pleasure.D. Studying a language makes your brain young.34. What might explain the author’s memory improvement?A. Learning French trained part of his brain.B. Cognitive tasks are interesting.C. A strong will is the key to his success.D. Taking two tests made him clever.35. Why did the author want to learn Italian?A. To challenge himself.B. To get more benefits.C. To know Italian culture.D. To travel to Italy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Seeing no other people notice us, I put the Christmas present down, pounded his doorbell and then Grandma and I hid in the car.Paragraph2:Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open and finally it opened. Out went Bobby Decker. Seeing the coat in the bag, he looked very astonished and then called his mother to go out. After hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus, I felt very proud of what I had done. At that time I decided to be Santa’s helper forever. It was on that night that I realized the truth that he who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas under a tree.听力材料Text 1M: How much is this pair of sports shoes?W: This pair costs 50 dollars.M: I’ve only got 45 dollars on me. I’ll come again this afternoon if I have.Text 2M: Beijing and Zhangjiakou will host the Winter Olympics in 2022. Will you go to the games with me then?W: Sorry, I don’t really want to go. I’m too far from there, and I don’t think we can both be selected to buy tickets at the same time.M: All right. Maybe you prefer watching TV at home.Text 3M: I took my last exam for this semester this morning.W: Now that your final exams have finished, what are you going to do?M: I plan to take it easy for a few days.Text 4W: Good morning, Mr. White.M: Good morning. Are you going to the football game?W: So, you are going to give us a ride to the game tonight?M: If my car’s running all right.Text 5W: Hey, Bob. Would you please help me with these boxes?M: Yes, if you promise to help me tidy up the house.W: No problem. I’ll even do the dishes.Text 6M: I’ll have to make a choice soon about next year.

How could you say no?M: Well, believe it or not, I don’t have a burning desire to see the world. I’d much prefer just to stay at home.Anyway, it’s hard to decide.W: Well, I would strongly advise you to think of the future. Working abroad is much more exciting than working in a smal l town.

I feel sorry for him.M: Why have so many athletes been exposed to COVID-19 recently? Shouldn’t their immunity be stronger than ours?W: Studies have shown that prolonged acute exercise（长时间的剧烈运动）can weaken the body’s immunity. In addition, athletes have to travel to many places to participate in the competition, so their human immunity will be weakened. The daily training and competition field are also relatively complex and crowded, and the probability of being infected with the COVID-19 will increase.M: You really know a lot. Now I just hope Durant will get better soon.W: You don’t have to worry too much. Athletes are more likely to heal themselves than the general population. M: OK. Being friends with someone as rational as you isn’t all bad.Text 8W: Hi, George, what have you been doing lately? I haven’t seen you around much.

I have just been to my manager and he has offered me a job: playing the piano on the coast for the summer.W: At a sea sight town?M: Yes, but I don’t think I am going to take it.W: Why not? Not enough money?M: No, it’s not bad. The money is good, about two hundred dollars a week. It’s just that we will be working in the hotel playing for the tourists. And they just want a same old music over and over to dance too. And I get so bored. It’s not like playing the music. It’s like being a machine.W: I wouldn’t mind being a machine for that money.Text 9M: It must be really fun getting to travel to so many interesting places. On your show, you describe yourself as an explorer. What do you mean by that? That seems like a strange name given to oneself.W: An explorer is simply someone who explores. I call myself an explorer because I challenge myself to go to new places and try new things. That’s what my show about different tribes is all about. I go to a new part of the world and really allow myself to become part of the tribe.M: What’s the craziest thing that you’ve had to do?W: One time in Africa. I had to eat a root that makes you dream while you are awake. Basically, it just makes youa little bit crazy for a few hours. When you eat this root, you have no idea what time it is, what day it is, orwhere you are. All you can do is feel the music.M: Sounds like you really do live up to your name as an adventurer. Thanks for sharing some time with us. I look forward to new episodes（经历）of your show coming up this spring.W: Great, thanks for having me on. It was neat to share my experiences with you.Text 10The Tokyo Olympic Games, originally scheduled to be held on July 24 this year, was postponed to July 23, 2021 due to the global COVID-19 outbreak. Among other things, this one- year break could change the lives of many athletes.For the injured players, they can take the opportunity to rest. For players who are suffering from injuries, the postponement provides an opportunity to recover, and in a year’s time they may be back at their peak（巅峰）.However, all “old” athletes face the same problems, physical decline and the accumulation of injuries, making each training session especially difficult. While younger athletes are growing up, a one-year delay could turn the rankings upside down, pushing “older” athletes to retire early.At the Tokyo games, 57% of the quotas have been handed out, which will remain valid next year. The remaining 43 percent were supposed to have been generated during the recent Olympic qualifying rounds, but the outbreak led to the temporary cancellation or postponement of many matches.。

Now, scientists have discovered a large number of wood ants living in an abandoned underground storehouse in Templewo, Poland, despite having no obvious source of food.Polish zoologist Wojciech Czechowski and his team began studying the underground colony in 2013. They found the ants built a 60-cm high nest in the soil directly over the storehouse vertical air pipe. As years passed, the metal covering on the pipe eroded, leaving behind a hole that thousands of worker ants accidentally slip into each day as they go about their daily chores. The scientists say that there are no sources of food in the storehouse. This means that the insects live in a state of near starvation.In July 2015, the researchers disturbed part of the ant nest in search of larvae (幼虫), cocoons(茧), and queens. They found nothing, leading them to suspect that the lack of food and cold temperatures made reproduction impossible and that the group tending the nest is entirely made up of non-reproductive female workers. Their population is refilled every year, by a new rain of unfortunate ants that slide down the hole. The researchers say that when they returned in January 2016, the nest had been repaired. It appears that despite the terrible conditions, the worker ants do not stop constructing their nest.Wood ants are known for their ability to adapt to bad living conditions. In this case, the millions of worker ants trapped in the storehouse have no choice. But instead of losing hope, they are making the best of the situation—a classic example of “when life gives you lesions make lemonade.”8．How did the wood ants arrive in the storehouse?A. They fell down there by accident.B. The research team brought them there.C. The storehouse builders left them there.D. They were attracted by the environment.9．What does the underlined word “eroded” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Expanded.B. Rotted.C. Exploded.D. Melted.10．What did the researchers find in the nest?A. Larvae.B. Cocoons.C. A queen.D. Worker ants.11．Why did the population of wood ants remain steady?A. They had enough food.B. They were able to reproduce.C. They adapted to the conditions.D. They had new ers to join them.Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for family, health, and life in general. However, Black Friday has turned it into a business.Traditionally, the true value of Thanksgiving lies at home not the shopping centers. However, Black Friday has nowadays allowed society to ignore this as individuals(个人) long for something that they do not need or even truly want. Shopping on Black Friday bees a sign of a shift into a culture that values material wealth（财富）over spending time with loved ones. People are willing to force their way through the crowds in their desperate search for marked-down sweaters and necklaces.In recent years, Thanksgiving has bee a pre-Black Friday holiday for many families. They are devoted to mapping out shopping routes and making organized schedules for which stores to hit first. By drawing individuals out to shopping centers with "matchless savings", businesses encourage this behavior of ignoring Thanksgiving. Many families take their home-cooked meals while camping out at the door of shopping centers. With each new year, Thanksgiving is being victim to over-mercialized（过度商业化）society—changing from a meaningful time for family to a day devoted to products and shopping.Black Friday has shown that with current mon standards(标准), people cannot even set aside a single day to appreciate what they already have without immediately buying more. Families have lost sight of what is truly important in life, and have found reasons in debating between a low cost HD television and an appreciation for what they already have. Remember, Thanksgiving should be a day in which people are grateful for all that they have.12．What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 2 probably refers to?A. The sign of a shift.B. The true value of Thanksgiving.C. The shopping crowd.D. The material wealth.13．In recent years, what will many families do when thanksgiving es?A. They’ll visit some newly-opened shopping centers in advance.B. They’ll choose a big store for their first visit.C. They’ll make full preparations for the Black Friday shopping.D. They’ll go camping at the gate of shopping center for a good deal.14．In the last paragraph, the author mainly intends to tell us that we should ______.A. appreciate what we've possessed with our familiesB. stay with our families as long as we canC. try to spend less to get low cost productsD. set aside a single day to buy more15．What's the author’s attitude towards the present ways people celebrate Thanksgiving?A. puzzledB. unconcernedC. happyD. worried二、完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（Ａ，Ｂ，Ｃ，和Ｄ）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
2019-2020年高二下学期第五次周练英语试题 含答案
河北省保定市高阳中学xx高二下学期第二次周练语文试题一、阅读下面的文字，完成1—4题。
(25分)2019-2020年高二下学期第五次周练英语试题含答案16岁那年，父亲送我去一家电脑培训中心学习微机课程，那些枯燥的操作命令很快使我厌倦了。
渐渐地，一有空我便溜到与中心相邻的“创世纪”网吧上网玩游戏，几个月下来，我微机知识没学到多少，倒是对那些神奇莫测的游戏入了迷，经常玩个通宵达旦。
网吧老板是一个过早秃顶的中年男人，在众多网民中，他好像独独对我这个学生特别反感，走来走去总要教训我两句：“玩物丧志，这词儿你懂吗？”世上哪有老板赶顾客出门的道理？我把他的告诫当成了耳旁风，只顾在网吧中玩得昏天黑地。
一天，父亲从乡下到城里来看我。
我正痴迷地玩“僵尸与侠客”的游戏，突然听到身后一个声音说：“好！精彩，好安逸哟！”这话音好耳熟，方言土语在城里极少能听见。
我猛回头，只见父亲不知何时站在了我的身后。
那一刻，我有一种做贼的感觉，赶紧站起身，垂手而立。
父亲却神情古怪地一把拉住我的手说：“章子，精彩，来，继续玩！”我做梦也没想到父亲不但不骂我，竟然让我教他玩游戏。
我兴奋地抓住他的手，教他如何选择按键、如何控制鼠标、如何躲避对方的打击、如何出击，没想到父亲学得还真快，不到3分钟便投入于那醉人的游戏中。
一晃7天过去了。
父亲的玩法越来越高明，也越来越上瘾，竟好几天通宵达旦泡在网吧中。
这时，我的衣袋中只剩下30块钱了。
父亲省吃俭用，每月寄400元钱给我做生活费，我却将它们全都消费在了这些醉人的游戏中，刚过了半个月，我的衣袋就快空了，再向父亲要钱，我开不了口。
那天在网吧里，父亲问我：“章子，身上有钱吗？拿出来，让爸过足这把瘾！”一听这话，我的脑袋便“嗡”地一下大了。
我家在城里没有亲戚，身上没了钱，我跟父亲在城里如何生活？父亲是个复员军人，只听说他在城里有一个战友叫方伯雄，我到城里来上学，父亲便让我去找方伯伯，可我却压根儿没心思去见那些古板的人。

A doctor measured their pulse to time how long they actually spent on sleep. Competitors earned extra points for snoring(打鼾), sleeping in strange positions, or wearing silly pajamas(睡衣). The winners of each round advance to the next stage in the competition.It’s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle o f such a busy place, while on couches that they are not used to. Yet, many of them did. They hugged pillows or soft toy bears. They covered their eyes with sleep masks, too. Whatever it took to help them fall asleep fast and stay asleep.The siesta is a tradition in Spain that many feel is becoming forgotten. It used to be that people would take a brief nap after lunch every day. This would energize them, and keep them going for the rest of the day. Not to mention the health benefits of a good nap. But, tha t’s all changing. People are too busy making money or watching gossip shows on TV after lunch to care about taking a nap.The National Association of Friends of the Siesta wants to bring Spain back to their traditional roots. They are doing this by having the siesta competition. They set up the competition to reward the best sleepers with money. Actually, they were paid to sleep.There are really health benefits to a midday nap. We could all learn from this tradition. It’s a much better way to get more ener gy than drinking a cup of coffee. It is also believed that a nap, and in fact a good night’s sleep, can help reduce heart disease. The more rested we are, the less stress we feel with day-to-day life.24.

The competition is held because the Association wants to _____.A. know if people still know the traditional habitB. call on people to have their traditional habitC. do some research on how people sleepD. give people money in this wayCLadies, if you find yourselves wandering an unknown city with a man who is questioning your directional abilities, don’t doubt yourselves.A recent small study published in the journal Psychological Science found that the longstanding theory that women have a more difficult time reading maps wasn’t true.Historically, men have performed better than women in studies that tested their spatial(空间的) ability. But the leading study author Margaret Tarampi and a researcher from the University of California, Santa Barbara theorized that social influences had an effect on this outcome: The cultural belief that women are worse at reading maps could be seen as a stereotype(固有模式) threat, meaning women believe they’re bad at something, so they perform poorly as a result. The researchers also theorized that women performed better at skills that involve a social element. In other words, if reading a map means helping someone else, they might perform better.Tarampi and her team tested both theories on undergraduate students at UCSB across three separate experiments. And, indeed, the results showed that men scored better than women only when they were mentioned the stereotype of male superiority before the test.When the researchers did not mention it and gave a social context for reading the map, women’s scores improved across the board. Women also performed better when the test maps simply included human figures, rather than just randomobjects and landmarks.So ladies, next time you struggle to figure out whether you should make a left or right at the Louvre, take out your tourist map with a healthy dose of confidence.28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To warn women of one of their shortcomings.B. To introduce the topic of the passage.C. To encourage women to read maps.D.

Men performed better than women in the study when .A. they were asked to help someone else by reading a mapB. they were informed of the stereotype before the testC. the test maps simply included human figuresD. there were social elements in the map31. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Women can read maps as well as men.B. Women are better drivers than men.C. Women always have difficulty reading maps.D. Women are better at spatial ability.DBeing stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you’re in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane(通道) for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.The Lakeside Shopping Center in Essex has introduced a 720-foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the Christmas rush. The center’s management team said: “the lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the Christmas shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn’t surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world. “Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centers tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season,” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end upbeing more trouble than its worth.”The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters” —the 31 percent of shoppers who try and make their way through crowds politely, “Dodgers”—the 51 percent of customers who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers” —the 11 percent who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters”－the l5 percent who express their frustrations to slow walkers.32. The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who .A. can’t move quickly because of physical disabilitiesB. buy things on their shopping lists quicklyC. take their time to do window shoppingD. want to leave the mall quickly33. What is Gary Mortimer’s attitude to the fast lane?A. Supportive.B. Indifferent.C. Critical.D. Objective.34. Who patiently moves behind a slow crowd?A. Skaters.B. Dodgers.C. Bulldozers.D. Tutters.35. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Shopping can be annoying sometimes.B. How to avoid “slow walkers” when shopping.C. The problems that shopping centers face during busy holidays.D. The shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid “slow walkers”.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
