To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor to help us come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel the world. For more information, please click Amazon.com. SEATTLE: Where You'd Go, Bernadette? Price: $16.73 Maria Semple's first novel is not exactly a love story to Seattle, but if you read it you just might want to come here to see if people are really as self-involved as the characters in her book. What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the laughs. Buy it on Amazon. ITALY: Beautiful Ruins Price: $16.29 This book written by the popular author Jess Walters is a love story that begins on the Italian Coast in the early 60s and eventually appears on the screen in Hollywood. With the settings of the background from Italy to Edinburgh to Los Angeles, you will find yourself longing to go as well. Buy it on Amazon. ENGLAND: Wolf Hall Price: $15.57 You can't travel to Thomas Cromwell's England without a time machine, but reading Hilary Mantel's prize-winning novel is the next best thing. It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside, much of which is still there. Buy it on Amazon. NANTUCKET: Here's to Us Price: $17.16 Elin Hilderbrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket. Her latest is Here's to Us, which, perhaps not surprisingly, is a great beach read. 21. Whose book has been made into a film according to the text? A. Hilary Mantel’s. B. Jess Walters’. C. Maria Semple’s. D. Elin Hilderbrand’s.

【全国百强校】安徽省黄山市屯溪第一中学2020-2021学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择If you were an exchanged student in New York City, one day your math teacher gave you following questions as your homework, please write down your answers.Ⅰ.A company sold a product for α dollars in 1990. The price of the product would increase by 2.5% every year.Ⅱ.A man needs to make 3 curtains. The cloth which is used to make curtains sells for $8.00 per meter and can be purchased only by the full（完整的）meter. The length of cloth required for each curtain is 1.6 meters.Ⅲ.A pet store sells only dogs and cats. In March, the store sold twice as many dogs as cats. In April, the store sold twice the number of dogs that it sold in March, and three times the number of cats that it sold in March.1．Which of the following expressions could be used to calculate the price of the product in the____ year 2000?A．α × (25)10B．α × (0.25)10C．α × (1.25) 10D．α × (1.025)102．What is the total cost of the cloth that needs to be bought for the 3 curtains?A．$40.00 B．$24.00C．$38.40 D．$48.003．If the total number of pets the store sold in March and April combined was 500, how many dogs did the store sell in March?A．80 B．100C．120 D．160Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.4．What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A．They developed very fast. B．They were large in number.C．They had similar patters. D．They were closely connected 5．Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex. B．Advanced.C．Powerful. D．Modern.6．How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present?A．About 6,800 . B．About 3,400C．About 2,400 D．About 1,200.7．What is the main idea of the text?A．New languages will be created.B．Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.C．Human development results in fewer languages.D．Geography determines language evolution.On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being aske d by a stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.”Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty’s table. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said. “I didn’t know what m y New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi.“My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added. “And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation. “I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “I don’t have to.”Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets beside her house, from conversations overheard on a bus.It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. However, she continues to walk into life and notes the vivid life. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story, yet she quickly takes out a notebook and write something fantastic under her point of pen.8．What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?A．Strangers joined her. B．Her childhood friends came in.C．A heavy rain ruined the dinner. D．Some people held a party there. 9．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s .A．readers B．partiesC．friends D．stories10．What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?A．They live in big cities. B．They are mostly women.C．They come from real life. D．They are pleasure seekers. 11．Which one do you think is the best title?A．A rainy day party B．Inspiration of lifeC．How to write fiction D．One of the best female writersThe Bermuda Triangle is an area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, near Florida in the USA, where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared mysteriously.①The earliest suggestion of unusual disappearances in the Bermuda area appeared in a September 17, 1950 article. Two years later, published “Sea Mystery at Our Back Door”, covering the loss of several planes and ships, including the loss of Flight 19. Flight 19 alone would be covered again in the April 1962 issue of American Legion magazine. In it, author Allan W. Eckert wrote that the flight leader had been heard saying, “We are entering white water. Nothing seems r ight. We don’t know where we are.” In the February 1964, the article “The Deadly Bermuda Triangle” argued that Flight 19 and other disappearances were just part of strange events in the area.②Triangle writers have used a number of supernatural ideas to explain the events. One explanation refers to leftover technology from the mysterious lost continent of Atlantis. Some of the Triangle writers related the events to UFOs. This idea was used by Steven Spielberg for his science fiction film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, in which the lost Flight 19 aircrews were taken by aliens.③But there are also some explanation relating to nature. For example, laboratory experiments carried out in Australia have proven that bubbles containing natural gas can sink a large ship by decreasing the density(密度) of the water. Because it has been assumed that the eruption of volcanoes(火山)may produce much natural gas, making large areas of bubbles under sea so that water is no longer able to provide enough supporting power for ships. If this were the case, such an area forming around a ship could cause it to sink very rapidly and without any warning.④Violent weather is likely to be another reason. Powerful storms forming in tropical(热带的)waters have caused thousands of deaths and caused billions of dollars in damage. Thesestorms have in the past caused a number of incidents related to the Triangle. 12．According to the passage, the loss of Flight 19 was first covered .A．in 1950 B．in 1952C．in 1962 D．in 196413．The sentenc e “Persons accepting the Bermuda Triangle as a ‘Death Triangle’ have offered a number of ways to explain it.” should be put in .A．①B．②C．③D．④14．According to paragraph 4, which one is NOT the reason for the disappearance of ships? A．the natural gas B．large areas of bubblesC．the eruption of volcanoes D．the increase of water density 15．What is the passage mainly about?A．The truth behind the disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle.B．The puzzle of the Bermuda Triangle and its explanations.C．Strange accidents that happened in the Bermuda Triangle.D．The exploration of the Bermuda Triangle in history.二、七选五Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 16．One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 17．We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 18．Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 19．The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find i t harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 20．“You keep what matters,” Tononi says.A．We should also try to sleep well the night before.B．It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C．Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D．The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.E.That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F.“Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.G.Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.三、完形填空My 9-year-old daughter and I were flying from Chicago to spend a week with my husband in Florida. We were 21 about the trip because we hadn’t seen him for five months, and my daughter 22 her Dad terribly.As usual , the plane was totally 23 . Because we did not get our boarding passes until we 24 at the gate, Kallie and I could not get seats together and were 25 by the aisle (过道). I asked two passengers in my row if they would switch places with Kallie and me, 26 we could be together. They 27 , saying they thought they should stay in their assigned seats. Meanwhile, a mother and her three children were in a 28 several rows ahead of us. There had been a mistake in their boarding passes, and 29 the whole family had been split up. The passengers in her row 30 refused to move elsewhere. She was very 31 about the younger boy sitting with strangers. She was in tears, yet nobody 32 to help her. There were a troop of Boy Scouts(童子军) on 33 . Suddenly the Scout leader stood up and said, “Ma’am, I think we can help you.” He then34 five minutes rearranging his group so that enough space was 35 for the family. The boys followed his directions cheerfully and without 36 , and the mother’s relief was obvious.Seeing that, Kallie began to panic at the 37 of not being next to me. I told her that there was nothing I could do. 38 , the man sitting next to the Scoutmaster, 39 to me and asked, “Would you and your daughter like our seats?” 40 to his and the Scoutmaster’s. We traded seats and continued our trip, very much relieved to be together and watch the scenery from Kallie’s window sea.After that, I have been calling my kids to join Boy Scouts because I believe it is the sharing and love that matters.21．A．curious B．anxious C．enthusiastic D．extraordinary 22．A．loved B．considered C．imagined D．missed 23．A．full B．brilliant C．empty D．overweight 24．A．reached B．arrived C．landed D．knocked 25．A．disturbed B．blocked C．separated D．connected 26．A．in case B．even if C．as if D．so that 27．A．prevented B．refused C．agreed D．promised 28．A．panic B．hurry C．rush D．seat 29．A．however B．otherwise C．therefore D．instead 30．A．too B．also C．ever D．even 31．A．worried B．confused C．relaxed D．convinced 32．A．suggested B．offered C．provided D．supplied 33．A．duty B．watch C．board D．spot 34．A．took B．cost C．paid D．spent 35．A．suitable B．available C．probable D．comfortable 36．A．permission B．excuse C．apology D．complaint 37．A．thought B．end C．feeling D．sense 38．A．Suddenly B．Interestingly C．Clearly D．Amazingly 39．A．turned up B．turned around C．turned out D．turned away 40．A．sticking B．keeping C．feeling D．pointing四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

of my father's death.Looking back at the past year,I cannot describe how hard it has been for me mentally and physically.For a long time I suffered in silence.I felt as if I was running in circles （圆圈）.I kept my tears to my sleep and my loneliness in my bedroom.After my father’s death,I began channeling all that pain into dance.But as a fairly new dancer,I haven’t had too much stage experience.I recently performed at my school's winter concert for one of my classmates who is dealing with a rare illness.I dedicated（献上）the dance to her and my father.I only had one week.I was so anxious that I felt like I was having a heart attack.Luckily,my best friends came to my aid.What they said to me was one of the kindest things anyone has ever said.I will never forget what one of them said:"You are so beautiful because of your heart and beautiful mind.You have more kindness than some will ever have.I saw how much that dance meant to you,especially how it connected with your memories.It made me cry,that is how incredible you are."Just surround yourself with people like my friend who will never think little of you.I am so proud of how much I’ve achieved and I know I will keep going,just as my father would have wished.35．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?A．She had no gift for dancing.B．She found it painful to dance on stage.C．She suffered from a heart disease.D．She lacked experience and got nervous on stage.36．We can infer from the article that the author_______.A．performed at her school's concertB．recovered quickly from the loss of her fatherC．is very grateful to her friendsD．is still too sad to keep moving on37．The author wrote the article mainly to _____.A．remind us of the importance of friends in out livesB．encourage us to deal with pain positivelyC．tell us how she became a successful dancerD．show respect to her dear fatherNew research has found that even if you give up smoking,the damage it has done to your genes（基因）will stay there for a much longer time.In the research,a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people.Among them,some were smokers,some used to smoke,and the rest were non-smokers.Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed-a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News,both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes.Some people may have had the changes when they were born,but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.When you stop smoking,a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.This means your body is trying to heal（治愈）itself of the harmful effects of smoking.But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer.They can stay for as long as 30 years.It’s almost l ike leaving a footprint on wet cement （水泥）一it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.Although the study results may make people unhappy,there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer ricks.38．The function of Paragraph 1 is to .A．give an example B．introduce the topic of the passage C．make an argument D．show the main idea of the passage 39．Most genetic changes happen because of .A．people's condition at birth B．environmental pollution C．people's bad living habits D．heart disease and cancer40．The underlined word "it" refers to .A．the cement B．the footprintC．the harmful D．the genetic change41．Which of the following statements is true?A．The findings are the fruit of more than three years' research.B．The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking.C．The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself. D．The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.For many people,being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework,meals and childcare.Even for those with a happy familylife,home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.In a new study,researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol（皮质醇）released in response to stress,in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women,and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women were more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many."Paid work is more valued in society,"says Sarah Damaske,the lead researcher on the study. "Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding."We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards.Yet none of us,no matter how long we've been doing it,ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief.Athome,meanwhile,stress spreads and accumulates（积累）quickly."That's the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,"Dr.Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples include the warning to "leave work stress at the office" and even to change our mind-set （思维定式）from work to home,for example,a walk around the block.The recent findings,though,suggest our home life,not our attitude,might be due for some change.42．Which of the following can replace the underlined word "taxing"?A．stressful. B．cheerful.C．worthwhile. D．rewarding.43．What did the research in the second paragraph prove?A．Men felt better at home.B．Women felt they had less time.C．Women were easier to feel happier.D．Most people felt more stress at home.44．According lo the recent findings,what should we change to solve the problem mentioned? A．Our attitude. B．Our mind-set.C．Our home life. D．Our working style.四、七选五We face problems in our everyday life. 45．Don't worry. As long as you are breathing, you can solve problems.Be aware of problemFirst of all, it is important to know and understand the problem clearly. 46．. Following questions like why, what, how, when, where and who will take you to the root cause of the problem.Analyze the problemAnalyzing the problem will give you time to think of a proper solution. 47．. They can be diagrams(图表), flowcharts or a lists, etc.Plan a strategy(策略)Planning a strategy will help you waste less energy and time in attempting all the solutions. This step includes knowing the advantages and disadvantages of applying a solution. In this way, you can abandon the strategy that you don't find worthy to apply.48．Leave out the information that is not required for the solving of the problem. You need to be accurate with the details. Keeping the unrelated information can sometimes complicate the simple problems as we tend to overlook the important information.Carry out the solutionPutting the solution into effect in a correct way to get the result expected is important while solving a problem. You need to be creative while actualizing(实施)a solution just in casesome other problem arises while applying the solution. 49．A．Remove unrelated information.B．You can use various tools to study the problem.C．Use yes or no questions to get better information.D．Knowing the problem means solving half the problem itself.E.They can be social problems, relationship problems, or problems at work.F.Being ready with alternatives is also important in case a solution works only half way.G.Spend 10% of the time analyzing the problem and 90% on the solution, not the opposite.五、用单词的适当形式完成短文While50．(wait) for the airplane to take off,I was happy to get a seat by myself.Just then,51．air hostess approached me and asked,"Would youmind52．(change) your seat?A couple would like to sit together."The only possible seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts（石膏绷带）,a black and blue face,and a sad53．(express)."No way am I going to sit there,"I thought54．(immediate).But a soft voice spoke,"She needs help."Finally,I decided to move to that seat.The girl was named Kathy.She was hurt in a car accident and now was55．her way to treatment. When the snacks and juice arrived,it did not take me long to realize56．Kathy would not be able to feed herself.I considered57．necessary to feed her but hesitated,as it seemed too impolite to offer a service to a stranger.But then I realized that Kathy's need was more important than my discomfort.I offered58．(help) her eat, and although she was uncomfortable to accept,she did as I expected.We became closer and closer in a short period of time.By the end of the five-hour trip,we had become friends.Love sometimes flows beyond human borders and59．(remove) the tear that keeps us separate.When we offer to serve another,we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding world.六、根据所给汉语意思完成句子60．Education shouldn't be m_______（衡量）purely by examination results. 61．There is now no p_______（可能性）that she will make a full recovery from her illness.62．David turned and walked off in the o_______（相反的）direction without a word.63．A child receives its early e_______（教育）from its parents at home. 64．F_______（幸运地）,the fire was discovered and put out soon after it broke out.65．She c_______（抱怨）that no one had been at the airport to meet her. 66．There is no e_______（证据）that shows he is a thief.67．With the d_______（发展）of the agriculture,the farmers become richer and richer.68．They have dug up an ancient tomb d_______（始于）from 45BC．69．He is a very i_______（有影响的）man in the government and is in an important position.七、短文改错70．假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下短文。

Each trail is based on a selection of works that characterize a period, an artistic movement or a theme, including the artworks from JAY-Z and Beyoncé's music video.Schirn Museum in FrankfurtIt has digitally opened its current exhibition, now closed due to the virus, called “Fantastic Women” (scheduled from February 13 to May 24), highlighting the works of 34 women artists and their contributions to Surrealism(超现实主义), including Frida Kahlo, Leonora Carrington, Leonor Fini, Dorothea Tanning and Dora Maar.Van Gogh Museum in AmsterdamAre you looking for ways to entertain your children with an educational twist?

A textbook.BThree weeks ago, we were living paycheck to paycheck. We survived on my husband’s low-paid job and my disability. We have kids. Also, I was experiencing a terrible tumor (肿瘤)on my neck, leaving me staying in bed in extreme pain, but the operation was to be $8,000, out of pocket, because Medicare only covers 80%.To take me to the hospital, my husband took a day off work. At 7 am, his boss called. He was being placed on paid leaving, waiting for an investigation into a mistake he had made at work.We both panicked. Having slowly worked our way out of poverty (贫穷) for 8 years, we were so close to being OK and it was all falling away. As my husband was a great worker, we decided to stay positive and hope for the best. However, two days later he received the official phone call-he was fired.Having no savings to pay bills, we cried hopelessly. We went to the welfare office only to be told that he couldn’t collect unemployment for 8 weeks, meaning he had the possibility of having $0 income for two months. It was terrifying.With only enough food to last for about a week, we applied for food stamps and Medicaid. Then we worked together- diving into job applications. After sending out resumes (简历)to everywhere in the field, he came across some promising companies. We kept our fingers crossed. Hopefully, we could get out of trouble as early as possible.Soon I got a phone call----my neck operation was going to be free now that we were poor again. And my husband got an email invitation for a video interview and it went great. He would be paid $3 more an hour than his last job. What a roller coaster ride!4. What was the family like before the husband got fired?A. They showed little concern for each other.B. They lived in an extremely poor area.C. They could hardly make ends meet.D. They led a rich and comfortable life.5. Why did the boss call the husband?A. To ask him about the truth.B. To tell him about a decision.C. To persuade him to quit his job.D. To warn him to mind his work attitude.6 What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?A. We were uncertain about our future.B. We waited hopelessly.C. We felt more and more nervous.D. We wished ourselves good luck7. What life lesson has the author learned from her experience?A. Many hands make light work.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. When one door shuts, another opens.D. One false step makes a great difference.CGoing on vacation can be challenging for people with physical disabilities. Hotels aren't always clear about how accessible (可进入)they are and the adaptive equipment needed to participate in certain activities can be expensive or difficult to get. This is where the online travel marketplace Wheel the World comes in. The website connects physically disabled people with special tour packages, depending on the person's needs.Today Wheel the World offers over 30 accessible destinations in the U.S. and abroad. They've served almost 900 disabled people, their family, and friends. Travelers can sign up for trips to destinations such as New York, Hawaii, Paris, London, and Kruger National Park in South Africa. Trip packages can include adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs, which can be used on the beach and in the ocean, and kayaks (皮艇)，which can help those disabled to kayak. The team also checks the accessibility of destinations themselves, evaluating（评估）things such as door widths, bed heights, bathrooms' accessibility and if lifts are functioning.Silberstein, the company's founder, says there are some trips that are suitable for blind people, though Wheel the World focuses on people with mobility（移动能力）issues. And in the future, they plan to include trips for people with hearing loss, and people with emotional disabilities. “One of the biggest barriers for travelers with physical disabilities is finding information about accessible trips, which is a gap（差距）Wheel the World aims to close,”says Silberstein.Wheel the World is working to enlarge tours in Europe —— currently their website lists London and Paris as the only destinations on the continent, but their eventual goal is much higher. “We want to allow millions of disabled people to travel to thousands of destinations,”Silberstein says.8. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To show the great success Wheel the World has gained.B. To tell us the difficulties the disabled face in life.C. To introduce the background of Wheel the World.D. To remind us of the problems with hotel service.9. What does Wheel the World focus on?A. Collecting travel information for tourists.B. Increasing the online sales of wheelchairs.C. Extending travel business to the whole world.D. Providing proper travel services for the disabled.10. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Silberstein has made significant contributions to global tourism.B. Wheel the World helps people with disabilities enjoy their vacations.C. Advanced equipment is enabling the disabled to travel around the world.D. Tour packages intended for blind and deaf tourists have won wide recognition.11. Which of the following can best describe Silberstein?A. Thoughtful and full-hearted.B. Determined and humorous.C. Flexible but aimless.D. Creative but hesitant.DLucy Hughes, a 24-year-oId English inventor, has used skin and scales (鳞)from fish to create a new kind of plastic that will break down in about six weeks. Her invention won this year's James Dyson Award.Ms. Hughes was very aware of how wasteful many products are. Plastic items (物品)，for example, are often made from new plastic, used once for a short time, and then thrown away. She decided to challenge herself to make something out of waste instead.Fishing is a big business in England, and the University of Sussex where Ms. Hughes studied wasn't far from the coast. She spent some time studying the fishing business, and the things that were thrown away. She was amazed by the amount of waste from fish that gets thrown away.After some tests, Ms. Hughes decided that the fish skin and scales seemed like the most likely parts for her product. But then she needed something to bind (hold the material together) with. She found that red algae (红藻)was the best binder.Ms. Hughes called her finished product “MarinaTex”, which is clear and feels like plastic, but stronger than regular plastic of the same thickness. MarinaTex is also cheap to make since it's made from fish waste. Ms. Hughes says that the waste from one Atlantic cod (a fish) could make 1,400 bags. The process of making MarinaTex also doesn't use much energy. Most importantly, MarinaTex doesn't take hundreds of years to break down.Ms. Hughes thinks that one of the best uses for MarinaTex will be in some kinds of food packaging（包装）where plastic is currently being used. Ms. Hughes is looking forward to moving ahead with her idea. She wants to try to make her recipe（配方）for making her plastic even better. She hopes the award money will help her with the process of getting MarinaTex into use as quickly as possible.12. Why did Lucy Hughes invent MarinaTex?A. To turn waste into treasure.B. To win James Dyson Award.C. To gain people's wide attention.D. To help the local fishing business.13. What is MarinaTex's greatest advantage over traditional plastic?A. It is of higher quality.B. It is more convenient to use.C. It s production cost is fairly low.D. It can break down in a short time.14. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. MarinaTex has been put to practical use.B. Lucy Hughes hopes for more fund support.C. Lucy Hughes intends to improve her invention.D. MarinaTex will replace regular plastic in food packaging.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Red Algae: the Best Binder to Hold MaterialsB. Young Inventor Creates Plastic from Fish SkinC. Fish Waste Has Affected the Environment SeriouslyD.

In a recent survey of more than 1,300 students, 96% said they feel worried about exams. 16 There is no doubt that anyone wants to get high marks in exams, so students should learn to deal with exams as calmly and effectively as possible.Develop a plan.17 However, most of the students don’t plan how they’ll be prepared. They just tell themselves they’ll study as much as possible — then they’ll “hope for the best”. This isn’t a wise way. Preparing for an exam is like taking on an important project. It’s important to outline a plan for how you’ll get ready for an exam.Change the sleep time early.Many exams are held in the early morning — a time when students don’t usually feel very awake. If you’ll be taking a morning exam, start sleeping earlier at least one week before the exam so that your body will have time to adjust(适应). 18 Besides, it’s also a good idea to get eight hours of sleep each night.19It’s common for students to spend the 10 minutes before an exam doing some last-minutestudying. This may provide some comfort, but overall it does more harm than good. The 10 minutes before an exam will make no difference. If you study during this time, you’ll become more stressed and worried. 20A. Study until the last minute.B. Don’t do any last-minute studying.C. This high percentage isn’t surprising.D. This will have a bad influence on your performance.E. This will help you become more confident in the exams.F. If not, your mind won’t be in a good state to take the exam.G. It is of great importance for students to make a proper plan before an exam.【答案】16—20 CGFBD济南市长清第一中学2020-2021学年高一下学期期中质量检测英语试卷第二节七选五(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能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AHere are some music festivals that you might be interested in.BoogieTallarook, VIC(26－28 March)Boogie is definitely kid-friendly, but with a few rules. Kids are welcome, but need to be fully supervised（监管）at all times and out of the licensed area by 10 pm. Kids under 8 years old are admitted for free. Kids between 8 and16 get in cheaper. There are some activities for kids and a great kid-friendly area.Splendour in the GrassByron Bay, NSW(24－26 July)Look, Splendour can be pretty crazy, so if you and your kids are out of practice with handling festivals and the stress they can sometimes bring, maybe you should try starting smaller.

Please remember, at your back stands a strong motherland.”The movie sends the message that overseas Chinese will always receive timely help from China. But in the future, some headstrong(任性的) citizens will not get this help for free, People’s Daily reported.On March 26, the Ministry of Foreign Affaires (MFA) worked out a draft for regulations on consular(领事的) protection and assistance, the Xinhua News Agency reported. The draft says that those who insist on travelling to dangerous places without considering warnings given by the MFA will not be able to take advantage of free rescue services.

According to most psychologists, we all do, especially nowadays when so many other aspects of modern life are changing. It seems that having friends keeps us both healthy and happy.The number of TV series about groups of friends shows just how important friendship is to us. Psychologist Dorothy Rowe says that many of us now turn to our friends, instead of our families, for advice, comfort and security. One woman named Rebecca she interviewed even told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would choose her friend.Since our friends mean so much to us, it is not surprising that the happiest marriages are also friendships. “Once the romantic stage of a relationship has passed, it is friendship that holds people together,” says Rowe. If the couple do not make some change, they will eith er get tired of each other and break up or stay together and seek friendship with others.But is friendship equally important to women and men? According to author Rhonda Pritchard, women are more likely than men to have close friends. “You tell a friend things that you’d never tell a partner”, says one woman she interviewed. For men, friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friend. Men share time and activities like building a fenc e or a business, running, riding a bike, fishing or watching football, but they don’t often share their feelings.Although many women find their relationships with a husband or boyfriend is not enough, many men say that their partner is their best friend.
