AIt was late August when I got a call from a grandmother.She lives in Seeley Lake，Montana，and she has heard we have air purifiers(净化器) with high-efficiency particulate air(HEPA) air-cleaners that can help with smoke.She needs one for the baby’s room.I explained we didn’t have any and told her how to purchase one.She coughed and went silent with disappointment before asking how much they cost.Almost every person I talk to in Seeley Lake has this cough.“The family doesn’t have much money，”she said，but she promised to order a filter for the child.Small filters—ones that can clean a bedroom of up to 75 square feet—cost about 70 each.The next day，the wildfire that had been burning for weeks in the Lolo National Forest，northeast of town，moved closer to the woman’s neighborhood，and the county sheriff’s office evacuated(疏散) the area.I wondered whether the air-cleaner would be there when the family returned home.I knew the smoke would be.As an air-quality specialist with the Missoula City-County Health Department in Montana，my job is to understand air pollution，control it as much as possible，and help people protect themselves from its effects.I focus on smoke management：issuing permits for outdoor burns and updating residents about what to expect from the smoke when wildfires send it our way.Never had we seen so many wildfires so close to home for so many weeks.There are six classes on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Quality Index(指数)：good，moderate，unhealthy for sensitive groups，unhealthy，very unhealthy，and dangerous.Seeley Lake’s air reached a dangerous class in 18 days last summer.Last year was troubled by wildfires around the country.The fires that struck Northern California alone killed 44 people and caused more than 9 billion in damage.But this isn’t just a recent problem，nor is it limited to the West.Wildfires hit 49 states in 2017，including a swath from Florida to Virginia.More than 9 million acres burned nationwide，compared with the yearly averageof 6.5 million acres.21．Why did the grandmother make a call to the author?A．To prevent the wildfire.B．To help her make a move.C．To ask for an air purifier.D．To get information about air pollution.22．How did the woman feel about the author’s reply?A．Angry. B．Hopeful.C．Excited. D．Disappointed.23．Compared with the yearly average，the burned acres nationwide in 2017 rose by . A．about 49% B．about 38%C．about 72% D．about 52%BWe often seek food after focused mental activity，like preparing for an exam.Researchers guess that too much thinking consumes a lot of energy from the brain.So the brain，sensing that it may soon require more calories to keep going，apparently leads to bodily hunger，and even though there has been little physical movement，we eat.The researchers note that tiring activity both increases the amount of blood sugar and lactate(乳酸盐) circulating in the blood and increases blood flow to the head.Because the brain uses sugar and lactate as fuel，researchers wondered if the increased flow of fuel-rich blood during exercise could feed a worn-out brain and reduce the urge to overeat.Thirty-eight healthy college students were invited to determine their fitness and metabolic(新陈代谢) rates and to report what their favorite pizza was.Afterward，they sat quietly for 35 minutes before being given as much of their favorite pizza as they wanted.At a later date，the volunteers returned and spent 20 minutes making selections from college and graduate-school entrance exams.Next，half the students sat quietly for 15 minutes，before being given pizza.The rest of the volunteers spent those 15 minutes doing intervals on a treadmill(跑步机) two minutes of hard running followed by about one minute of walking，repeated five times.These students were then allowed to gorge on pizza，too.But by and large，they did not overeat.When the researchers factored in(将……作为因素考虑) the calories burnt on running，they determined that those students actually consumed 200 fewer total calories after their brain workouts than the resting students.The researchers do not know if the runners consumed extra calories at dinner.They also cannot tell whether other types of exercise would have the same effect as running，although the researchers say they suspect that if an activity causes someone to break into a sweat，it should also increaseblood sugar and lactate，feeding the brain and weakening hungers call.24．What do we learn from the first paragraph?A．We eat for more physical movements.B．A busy brain can make one hungry.C．Energy from the brain can’t be used up.D．An exam results in caloric consumption most.25．What can a physical movement do?A．Increase blood flow.B．Increase the amount of blood sugar.C．Urge one to eat more.D．Make the brain tired.26．What does the underlined phrase “gorge on” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Eat. B．Purchase.C．Taste. D．Obtain.C“Hope has proved a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we’ve done so far，”said Dr Snyder，a psychologist.In research with 3,920 college students，Dr Snyder found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first term was a more accurate predictor of their college grades than were their S．A.T.scores or their grade point averages in high school.“Students with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to work to attain them，” Dr Snyder said.“When you compare students with equal learning ability and past school achievements，what sets them apart is hope.”In seeking a way to assess hope scientifically，Dr Snyder went beyond the usual belief that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right.“This idea is not concrete enough; it fails to clarify two key components of hope，” Dr Snyder said.“Having hope means believing you have both the will and the way to accomplish your goals，whatever they may be.”Despite the wisdom in the old saying “where there’s a will，there’s a way，” Dr Snyder has found that the two are not necessarily connected.In a study of people from 18 to 70 years old，Dr Snyder discovered：only about 40% of people are hopeful in the technical sense of believing they typically have the energy and means to accomplish their goals; about 20% of the people believed in their ability to find the means to attain their goals，but said they had little will to do so; another 20% have the opposite pattern，saying they had the energy to motivate themselves but littleconfidence that they would find the means; the rest had little hope at all，reporting that they typically had neither the will nor the way.“It’s not enough just to have the wish for something，”said Dr Snyder.“You need the means，too.On the other hand，all the skills to solve a problem won’t help without the willpower to do it.”27．What does Dr Snyder think can best predict a freshman’s academic performance?A．His S．A.T.scores.B．His high school grades.C．His level of hope.D．His family background.28．The underlined word “concrete” in the third paragraph probably means “”．A．clear B．pureC．universal D．popular29．What did Dr Synder say about the old saying “where there’s a will，there’s a way”？A．It is quite realistic.B．It is not inspiring to students.C．It is totally wrong.D．It is not always true in reality.30．What can be the most suitable title for the passage?A．No Pains，No GainsB．Hope Emerges as Key to SuccessC．Will Gets It GoingD．Where There’s a Will，There’s a Way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。

2020-2021学年江苏省南通市某校高二（上）期初英语试卷II. 阅读理解：（共4小题，每题2.5分，满分37.5分）1.The National GalleryDescription:The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of European art ranging from 13th﹣century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh． The older collections of the gallery are reached through the main entrance while the more modern works in the East Wing are most easily reached from Trafalgar Square by a ground floor entrance．Layout:The modern Sainsbury Wing on the western side of the building houses 13th﹣ to 15th﹣century paintings, and artists include Duccio, Uccello, VanEyck, Lippi, Mantegna, Botticelli and Memling．The main West Wing houses 16th﹣century paintings, and artists include Leonardo da Vinci, Cranach, Michelangelo, Raphael, Bruegel, Bronzino, Titan and Veronest．The North Wing houses 17th﹣century paintings, and artists includeCaravaggio, Rubens, Poussin, Van Dyck, Velazquez, Claude and Vermeer．The East Wing houses 18th﹣to early 20th﹣century paintings, and artists include Canaletto, Goya, Turner, Constable, Renoir and Van GoghOpening Hours:The Gallery is open every day from 10am to 6pm（Fridays 10am to 9pm）and is free, but charges apply to some special exhibitions．Getting There:Nearest underground stations: Charing Cross（2﹣minute walk）． Leicester Square（3﹣minute walk）, Embankment （7﹣minute walk）, and Piccadilly Circus （8﹣minute walk）．（1）In which century's collection can you see religious paintings？________A The 13th．B The 17th．C The 18th．D The 20th．．（2）Where are Leonardo da Vinci's works shown？________A In the East Wing．B In the main West Wing．C In the SainsburyWing． D In the North Wing．．（3）Which underground station is closest to the National Gallery？________A Piccadilly Circus．B Leicester Square．C Embankment．D Charing Cross．2. The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital． She is quiet but alert（警觉）．Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it． She stares at it carefully．A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced．As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视） starts to lose its focus ﹣ until a third, with three black spots, is presented． Her gaze returns; she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card． Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after cominginto the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes． Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects（a comb, a key, an orange and so on）, changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves． Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again． Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two． The effect even crosses between senses． Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地） when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots．（1）The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's________．A sense of hearingB sense of sightC sense of touchD sense of smell．（2）Babies are sensitive to the change in________．A the size of cardsB the colour of picturesC the shape of patternsD the number of objects．（3）Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats？________A To reduce the difficulty of the experiment．B To see how babies recognize sounds．C To carry their experiment further．D To keep the babies' interest．．（4）Where does this text probably come from？________A Science fiction．B Children's literature．C An advertisement．D A science report．3. Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries． It does, however, have its own problem．Race walkers are conditioned athletes． The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50﹣kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon． But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact（接触） with the ground at all times． It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractiveactivity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass．Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says． According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories（卡路里） per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1, 000 or more calories per hour．However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr． Norberg says． According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about1.4 times their body weight with each step．As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers． But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport． In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says． It takes some practice．（1）Why are race walkers conditioned athletes？________A They must run long distances．B They are qualified for the marathon．C They have to follow special rules．D They are good at swinging their legs．．（2）What advantage does race walking have over running？________A It's more popular at the Olympics．B It's less challenging physically．C It's more effective in body building．D It's less likely to cause knee injuries．．（3）What is Dr． Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking？________A Getting experts' opinions．B Having a medical checkup．C Hiring an experienced coach．D Doing regular exercises．．（4）Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking？________A Skeptical．B Objective．C Tolerant．D Conservative．4. The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research． Recent studies have found positive effects． A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime． In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants．The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT） have taken it a step further﹣changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse, even unusual functions． These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater．"We're thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day, " explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT．One of his latest projects has been to make plants grow（发光） in experiments using some common vegetables． Strano's team found that they could create a faint light for three ﹣and﹣a﹣half hours． The light, about one﹣thousandth of the amount needed to read by, is just a start． The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self﹣powered street lamps．In the future, the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one﹣off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime． The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off "switch" where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight．Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US． Since lightingis often far removed from the power source（电源）﹣such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway﹣a lot of energy is lost during transmission（传输）． Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy．（1）What is the first paragraph mainly about？________A A new study of different plants．B A big fall in crime rates．C Employees from various workplaces．D Benefits from green plants．．（2）What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer？________ A To detect plants' lack of water． B To change compositions of plants． C To make the life of plants longer． D To test chemicals in plants．．（3）What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future？________A They will speed up energy production．B They may transmit electricity to the home．C They might help reduce energy consumption．D They could take the place of power plants．．（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？________A Can we grow more glowing plantsB How do we live with glowing plantsC Could glowing plants replace lampsD How are glowing plants made pollution﹣free．III. 七选五：（共1小题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分）5. The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet， chat and go where we've never been before．But just as in face to face communication， there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line．（1）_______． Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes．For anything you're about to send： ask yourself， "Would I say this to the person's face？" If the answer is no， rewrite and reread．（2）_______If someone in the chat room is rude to you， your instinct （本能） is to fire back in the same manner． But try not to do so．（3）_______ If it was caused by a disagreement with another member， try to fix the situation by politely discussing it． Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room．（4）_______ Offer advice when asked by newcomers， as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate． When someone makes a mistake， whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer， be kind about it． If it's a small mistake， you may not need to say anything． Even if you feel strongly about it， think twice before saying anything． Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else．（5）_______ At the same time， if you find you are wrong， be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended．It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age， sex and marital status． Unless you know the person very well， and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information， don't ask such questions．A． It's natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online．B． Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face．C． Everyone was new to the network once．D． The basic rule is simple： treat others in the same way you would want to be treated．E． When you send short messages to a person online， you must say something beautifulto hear．F． You should either ignore the person， or use your chat software to block their messages．G． If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake， point it out politely．IV. 完形填空（共15空，每空1分，满分15分）6.

Because it is so simple, it could be easy to fake.Many people in theU.S.are still unsure about getting the vaccine. As universities, workplaces and other places are requiring proof of vaccination, some people are now buying fake vaccination cards without getting a shot.The Associated Press reports that students and teachers at universities around theU.S.are worried about fake cards. Sellers are using social media apps like Instagram to advertise fake vaccination cards. The prices range from $25 to $200. The AP notes that many college students seem interested in buying the cards. On the site Reddit, one person wrote, “I need one, too, for college. I refuse to be a guinea pig.”It is reported that more than 700 universities and colleges require proof of vaccination. Most schools simply ask their students to take a photo of their card and send it to a school website. Benjamin Mason Meier is aprofessor at theUniversityofNorth CarolinaatChapel Hill, UNC. He studies international health policy. He said, unlike some countries, theU.S.is not using a digital system to record vaccine status. He said theU.S.is depending on “aflimsypaper card”, and students have told him they knew of others who had used fake vaccination cards. Rebecca Williams also works at UNC. She is a researcher at the school’s Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. She said she was not surprised that people were worried about fake vaccination cards. “This is why I think the development of a reliable national digital vaccine passport app is very important,” she said.There is a law that should prevent people from making false vaccination cards. If someone uses the CDC logo without permission, they can be lined and punished by up to five years in prison. The U.S. Department of Justice recently charged a person inCaliforniawith making fake vaccination cards.College students who already have the vaccine are criticizing those who would rather spend money to buy a fake than get a free shot. Maliha Reza is an electrical engineering student atPennsylvaniaStateUniversity, She called those students “dumb”. “I’m angry about that,” she said. “Like, there is more anger than I could describe now.”4.

Dressed in aprons (围裙) and headscarves, they wait at both towns’starting lines. Each woman holds a frying pan with one pancake inside. At the signal, the women flip (轻抛) pancakes and they’re off!This “pancake racing” tradition is said to have started on Shrove Tuesday, 1445, in Olney. Shrove Tuesday is the day beforethe Christian season of Lent (大斋戒) begins. During Lent, many people decide to give up sugary or fatty foods.Legend says that in 1445, an Olney woman was making pancakes to use up some of her sugar and cooking fats before Lent. She lost track of time and suddenly heard the church bells ring, signaling the beginning of the Shrove Tuesday service. Realizing that she was going to be late for church, she raced out the door still wearing her apron and headscarf and holding her frying pan with a pancake in it. In the following years, the woman’s neighbors imitated her dash to church, and pancake racing was born.The rules are simple. Racers must wear the traditional headscarf and apron. They must flip their pancakes twice - once before starting and once after crossing the finish line. After the race, there are Shrove Tuesday church services. Then Liberal and Olney connect through a video call to compare race times and declare a winner.In both towns, the races have grown into larger festivals. Olney’s festival is an all-day event starting with a big pancake breakfast. Liberal’s festival lasts four days and includes a parade, a talent show, and contests that feature eating and flipping pancakes. Although the women’s race is still the main event, both towns now hold additional races for boys and girls of all ages.8. How did pancake racing start?A. A woman in Olney created it.B. Women made pancakes before Lent.C. A woman dashed to church with a pancake.D. People followed the suit of an interesting incident.9. What should racers obey during the race?A. They can wear fashionable headscarves and aprons.B. They must flip their pancakes once in the race.C. They must flip their pancakes at the beginning of the race.D. They can flip their pancakes in the middle of the race.10. What can we learn about the race from the last paragraph?A. People can show their talent in Olney festival.B. People can enjoy a one-day holiday in Liberal.C. The race is not only intended for women now.D. People can have a big pancake breakfast in both towns.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The origin of pancake racing.B. The history of pancake racing.C. The development of pancake racing.D. The introduction to pancake racing.DA 25-year-old American with a university degree can expect to livea decade longer than a peer who dropped out of high school. Although researchers have long known that the rich live longer than the poor, this education gap is less well documented. And although the average American’s expected span(预期寿命) has been smooth in recent year—and, shockingly, even fell between 2015 and 2017—that of the one-third with a bachelor’s degree has continued to lengthen.This gap in life expectancy is growing, according to new research published in the report of the National Academy of Sciences. Anne Case and Angus Deation ofPrincetonUniversityfound that the lifespans of those with and without a bachelor’s degree started to become different in the 1990s and 2000s. This gap grew even wider in the 2010s.What is the link between schooling and longevity(长寿)? Some argue that better-educated people develop healthier lifestyles: each additional year of study reduces the chances of being a smoker and of being overweight. The better-educated earn more, which in turn is associated with greaterhealth.Ms Case and Mr Deaton argue that changes in labor markets, including the rise of automation and increased demand for highly-educated workers, coupled with the rising costs of employer-provided health care, have decreased the supply of well-paid jobs for those without a degree. This may be contributing to higher rates of alcohol and drug use, suicide and other “deaths of despair”.The authors argued that the educational gap in mortality(致死率) will widenin the wake ofthe covid-19 pandemic. ForAmerica’s overall life expectancy to start climbing again, improvements will be needed across all social groups, not just among the privileged few.12. When did the lifespans of people with and without a degree vary greatly?A. In the 1990s.B. In the 2020sC. In the 2000sD. In the 2010s13. According to the article, changes in labor markets reduce jobs for those without a degree. Which change is NOT included?A. The rising spending of employer-provided health care.B. The gap in life expectancy.C. Raised request for better-educated workers.D. The development of automation.14. What does the underlined phrase “in the wake of” probably mean ?A. afterB. untilC. beforeD. while15. What is the best title for the text?A. Changes in labor market.B. Quit bad habits by Further studyC. Educated Americans live longer.D. Highly-educated people develop healthier lifestyles.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
