一、阅读理解

Some little boys are addicted to Legos. Others can’t get enough of dinosaurs. But it is Blackpool Tower in England that has captured one 6-year-old’s imagination.

The Blackpool Tower was built in 1894. It is twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty in NYC．Now Charlie Barratt has achieved his dream by becoming the voice of the attraction’s lift (电梯). Charlie did a project about the tower at school, recording his own version of the lift’s existing speech. In the voice-over, Charlie welcomes visitors to the attraction. He also offers interesting facts about the tower. One of his teachers contacted Kenny Mew, the tower’s operation manager, and told him about Charlie’s love for the 518-foot (157 meter) structure.

Mew told BBC Radio Lancashire, “His school reached out to me and said they had this young boy who was passionate about Blackpool Tower and had actually recorded the lift speech and I was thinking to myself: how’s he done that? I played it back and he had the speech word for word that we’d had recorded already in the lift and it just sounded amazing. And we thought we were going to give Charlie the opportunity to do it. He was absolutely brilliant. He’s done an amazing job, and we’re really proud of what he’s done.”

Charlie was then invited into a professional recording studio to perform his version and his mum, Wendy, is as thrilled as he is. She told the BBC, “He adores the tower.” Wendy first took Charlie to visit the tower when he was a baby. She said he loved it “from the minute he can walk”.

Now Charlie is the voice of the attraction’s lift. As well as the lift, there are plans in progress for Charlie to lend his voice to other areas in the future.

Empathy and generosity are two traits (特征) that make the world go around. But a study suggests that the willingness to help collapses when people get too little-or poor-sleep.

To see how sleep affects how much humans help one another, researchers conducted three experiments designed to examine the issue from the individual to the societal scale. Their results are published in PLOS Biology.

In the first experiment, researchers performed functional MRI scans (功能性磁共振成像扫描) of the brain and asked questions to 24 adults after eight hours of sleep and after a night with no sleep. When they were well rested, the participants scored well on a helping behavior test. But after sleep loss, 78 percent had less of a desire to help others, even when it came to friends and family. The scans showed that areas of the brain associated with social cognition-our thought processes related to other people-were less active with sleep loss.

The second experiment tracked 136 healthy adults over four nights and asked them questions about helping the following day. The effect held for them, too, and those who reported worse sleep quality scored worse on the tests.

To test the effects on a societal level, the researchers then looked at a database of 3 million charitable donations given between 2001 and 2016. They found that immediately following the beginning of daylight saving time (夏令时) — a sleep disrupter — donations

dropped 10 percent. The effect wasn’t found in data from Hawaii or Arizona, however; neither observe daylight saving time.

Why bother studying how helpful people are when we don’t get enough shut-eye?

“We’re starting to see more and more studies, including this one, where the effects of sleep loss don’t just stop at the individual, but spread to those around us,” said Eti Ben Simon, a scientist at the University of California who co-wrote the study, in a news release. “If you’re not getting enough sleep, it doesn’t just hurt your own well-being, it hurts the well-being of your entire social circle, including strangers.”

There’s a silver lining to all that ungenerous behavior, he writes: Unlike personality traits, sleep can be adjusted — both getting enough and helping others do the same might make for a better world.

5．What does the underlined word “collapse” probably mean in paragraph 1?

A．Disappear.B．Vary.C．Skyrocket.D．Decrease. 6．Which of the following statements is true according to the first experiment?

A．Participants who had sufficient sleep were unwilling to aid others.

B．Those who didn’t rest well were willing to help friends and family.

C．About three quarters of participants were unwilling to help due to lack of sleep.

D．The MRI scans showed that generous behavior promotes social cognition.

7．What does Eti Ben Simon mainly stress in last two paragraphs?

A．The loss of sleep poses a major danger to individuals.

B．Bettering our sleep will benefit society as a whole.

C．Improving sleeping quality should be given the top priority in the USA．

D．Having enough sleep can do wonders for your constitution.

8．What might be the best title for the text?

A．Too little sleep makes people less generous

B．There’s a silver lining to ungenerous behavior

C．The importance of empathy and generosity

D．The societal impact of sleep loss

Why does social media cause feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence? Because instead of being real life, it is impression management, a way of marketing yourself, carefully choosing and filtering (过滤) the picture and words to put your best face forward.

Online “friends” made through social media do not follow the normal psychological progression of friendship. You share neither physical time nor emotional conversations over the Internet. You simply communicate photographs and catchy posts to a diverse group of people whom you have “friended” or “followed” based on an accidental interaction. This is not to say that your social media friends can’t be real friends. They absolutely can, but the two are not the same. Generally speaking, there are no unfiltered or casually taken photos on our social media pages because it wouldn’t feel safe to be completely authentic (真实的) and vulnerable (易受伤的) with some of our “friends” whom we don’t actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built.

Social media can certainly be an escape from the daily routines, but we must be cautious about the negative effects on a person’s overal psychological well-being.

As humans, we are eager for social connection. Scrolling (滚动) through pages of pictures and comments, however, does not provide the same degree of fulfillment as face-to-face interactions do. Also, we tend to idealize others’ lives and compare our downfalls to their greatest accomplishments, ending in feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence.

Social media can lead to unhealthy pursuit for perfection. Some people begin to attend certain events or travel to different places so that they can snap that “perfect” photo. However, pictures and posts should be byproducts of life’s treasured moments and fun times, not the planned and calculated image that one is putting out into cyberspace in an attempt to fill insecurities or unmet needs.

Ultimately, social media has increased our ability to connect with various types of people all over the globe. It has opened doors for business and allowed us to stay connected to people whom we may not otherwise get to follow. However, social media should feel like a fun experience, not one that contributes to negative thoughts and feelings. If the latter is the case, increasing face to face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online will prove to be a reminder that your real social network is much more rewarding than any “like”, “follow” or “share” can be.

9．How does social media affect our life?

A．It may improve our physical appearance.

B．It may make us feel isolated and insecure.

C．It may filter our negative impressions on others.

D．It may enhance our communication skills.

10．Why do people post photos selectively on social media?

A．They do not want to lose their followers.

B．They are eager to become famous overnight.

C．They do not find all their online friends trustworthy.

D．They want to avoid offending any of their audience.

11．What do humans tend to do according to the passage?

A．Have more face-to-face interactions.

B．Exaggerate their life’s accomplishments.

C．Learn lessons from other people’s downfalls.

D．Paint a rosy picture of other people’s lives.

12．What does the author advise when online experience becomes unpleasant?

A．Stay connected to online friends for suggestions.

B．Strengthen ties with real-life friends instead of online friends.

C．Connect with various types of people all over the globe.

D．Avoid negative thoughts and feelings through online pages.

二、七选五

How to be more organized

You’re in danger of missing a deadline, your important files are never where you thought they were, and it’s a lottery (彩票) whether you’ll even have clean clothes to wear tomorrow! Sound familiar? You can lose a great deal of time to disorganization. The more you can live and work in an organized way, the sooner you’ll change your habits for the better. 13 .

Celebrate small wins. For example, if you complete three things on your to-do list, treat yourself to a cup of coffee, or allow yourself 10 minutes of free time.

Use one calendar. If you record some things on your desk planner, and others on your email calendar, it’s going to be hard to organize everything. 14 . If you do it digitally, you’ll find that the technology can pull everything together for you.

Schedule small tasks. If a task or project requires action beforehand (like sending out an agenda before a meeting), make sure that you schedule those into your day, too. 15 .

Get organized at home. Don’t just restrict your organized approach to work. 16 . Declutter (简化) where you live to make mornings easier. Plan your whole day carefully. And

talk to the people you live with, so that they know how they can help.

17 . Whether you’re prioritizing your professional tasks for the week, or mapping out your family commitments, think about how to make every second count. Try to delete low-value tasks where you can to make time for what’s really important.

A．Put a high value on your time.

B．Strike a balance between your work and life.

C．Here are five everyday strategies worth trying.

D．A chaotic home life will bring its own problems.

E．Instead, you should start putting it all in one place.

F．Missing small jobs can have big knock-on effects on everything else.

G．For some people, a paper notebook is still the best way to stay in control of plans.三、完形填空

Two months ago, Ryder Killam, a 15-year-old French boy was registered in a new school in Hawaii. He just moved there with his parents. Although he missed his old friends very much, he managed to adapt to his new school life and soon made a lot of friends.

However, waiting for the school bus every morning often meant a real suffering because Ryder was born with spina bifida （脊柱裂）and he has to live in a wheelchair. Hawaii is one of the rainiest places in the world. This is not an issue for other students, but for him this was a different story. He often got wet all over before the school bus arrived during the rainy days. In that case, he could only have classes with wet clothes on or called his parents to send dry clothes to school and finding a place to get changed was also a big challenge for this disabled boy.

To keep Ryder protected from the bad weather while waiting for the bus every morning, the students in Ryder's school decided to take action. They first uploaded a post on Facebook asking for an unused bus shelter but got no reply.

Not being able to find one, the students from the construction class decided to take on the challenge of building a customized bus shelter for him and quickly put their hands to work.

As part of the high school's Career and Technical Education program, the construction class teaches its students basic building skills. Its main goal is to provide students with tools and skills that will have real applications in future jobs and a meaningful impact on their community. They had already performed several building projects for the community. Two

years ago, they managed to build dozens of shelters for stray cats in the local park. Soon enough, they came up with an idea of building a two-window shelter for Ryder.

江苏省无锡市2022-2023学年高二第一学期期中考试英语试题（满分120）一、阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（本题共11小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分27.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 (A) When Jane Austen(1775-1817)wrote her novels in England, she was writing about a world that most of us would not recognize. But today Austen’s books are in greater demand than ever. In the last ten years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be bestsellers. Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University, argues that her novels still appeal to people because they focus on issues that are as relevant today as they were when she wrote them. Her novels are about women trying to find a perfect husband, but also explore issues surrounding marriage, friendship and the family. “The plots are fairly timeless stories about human interaction which are familiar to us,” Jenkyns says. The most famous book Austen wrote is Pride and Prejudice, a love story between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. At first the two characters do not get on. They eventually fall in love but still have to overcome opposition to their relationship from their families. All of Austen’s books are easy to read, making them popular with children and adults, but they work on different levels so people can take what they need from them，author Kate Henry says. “You can choose to see the politics and feminism( 男女平等) in them, but if you don't want to take on those issues you can turn a blind eye to them,” she says. Austen is remembered as the greatest romance writer in the English language so it is surprising that she remained unmarried. “Maybe she was too much of a romantic, waiting for the perfect man,” Henry says. ( )1.According to Richard Jenkyns, Jane Austen's books sell best because . A.her books are helpful in killing time B.she was a writer fighting for feminism C.her books reflect social reality in some ways D.she was a romantic and independent novelist ( )2.The language in Jane Austen’s books is . A. rich in literary terms B. readily understood C. short of advanced expressions D. beyond comprehension ( )3.What is the passage mainly about? A.Jane Austen's life and her works. B.Different comments on Jane Austen’s works. C.Jane Austen’s famous work Pride and Prejudice. D.The popularity of Jane Austen's works and the reasons. (B)

2022-2023学年江苏省苏州市高二下学期期中考试英语试卷

2022-2023学年江苏省苏州市高二下学期期中考试英语试卷 1. Looking for a big-leafed houseplant that will make a statement in your room and decorate yourhome? If so, then you’ve come to the right place! Peace Lily Extremely easy to look after, this popular, flowering plant is very tolerant and undemanding. It is a beloved houseplant for its large, glossy oval leaves and unusual white spoon-shaped flowers. Typically blooming in the spring, this lovely plant can effectively brighten up a living space. African Mask Plant This indoor plant is a smaller plant with large dark green leaves that are shaped like a heart. Native to tropical (热带的) parts of Africa, it prefers high heat and high humidity. That can be somewhat a tricky task for the average plant owner to achieve in their home, who is likely to have trouble duplicating (复制) these steamy conditions. Snake plant Commonly referred to as mother-in-law’s tongue, it is one of the easiest houseplants to take care of. With tall, twisting sword-shaped leaves that grow upright, it has air-purifying capabilities and can merrily grow in almost dark corners of the house. But the plant is poisonous to dogs and cats, so it’s wise to keep this plant away from them, if your pets are plant chewers. Kentia Palm Caring for the Kentia Palm plant is very straightforward, which can be neglected for weeks at a time. Quite enjoying a bit of shade, it has big leaves that grow from a narrow base and is great for filling a corner without taking up much floor-space. Place it in front of a blank wall, and its archingfronds (大型复叶) will cast beautiful shadows. 1. Which of the following requires an experienced plant owner? A．Peace Lily. B．African Mask Plant. C．Snake plant. D．Kentia Palm. 2. What do we know about the Snake Plant? A．It poses little danger to dogs and cats. B．It is better for purifying air than others. C．It gets its name from a poisonous snake. D．It grows well in shady areas of the house. 3. What feature do the listed household plants share?
