2021-2022学年山东省济南市高一下学期期末学情检测英语试题

2021-2022学年山东省济南市高一下学期期末学情检测英语试题1. What would you do if you spilled your coffee on your desk? Many of us would probably immediately begin cleaning up the desk. But some people are so talented that they can be artistically inspired by the most unexpected of things, such as spilled drinks. Case in point — Italian artist Giulia Bernardelli, whose amazing coffee art began as an accident.Born in 1987 in the city of Mantua, Giulia Bernardelli graduated at the Accademia of Fine Arts of Bologna with a bachelor’s degree in educational studies, but it was a coffee accident that shaped her artistic career.One day, Giulia was drawing and having her coffee at the same time. At one point, she moved her hand too quickly and spilled her coffee all over the canvas, but the way the spilled coffee spread inspired her to pick up the spoon and use it as a brush to guide the brown liquid. And that’s how her journey into coffee art began. She got better and better at it, and today Giulia is regarded as one of the world’s best coffee artists.As for the things Giulia draws with coffee, she takes inspiration from a variety of things, such as famous artworks, architecture, or the human body. So the next time you spill your coffee or something else, don’t immediately clean it up. It’s your chance to be an artist too!1. What can be learned about Giulia Bernardelli?A.She hates cleaning. B.She is a fan of coffee.C.She is an Italian artist. D.She wants to be a teacher.2. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A.What tools Giulia needed for painting. B.Why Giulia was the best coffee artist.C.When Giulia became world- known. D.How Giulia started coffee art.3. Which of the following best describes Giulia?A.Gifted. B.Productive. C.Helpful. D.Brave.2. A woman who lost one leg to cancer is seeking to break a world record by completing 102 marathon-length runs in 102 days.Jacky Hunt-Broersma, who lost the bottom half of her left leg to a rare form of cancer in 2001, set her goal in mid-January. And every day since then, she has been running the distance of a marathon. “Part of my body was gone. For me the biggest struggle was accepting my disability,” she told the reporter.Until five years ago, she was not very active. But then she looked into running and decided to give it a try. The sport ended up being quite costly. Currently, the carbon fiber blade she uses, which is designed specifically for running, costs about $10,000.“Running really changed my life,” she said. “It helped me accept myself as a person with disability. It gave me a sense of freedom. I fell in love with the process of pushing my body further just to see what I could do.”However, she has faced both physical and mental difficulties during her record-breaking attempt. On one recent day, Hunt-Broersma felt near breakdown at 24 kilometers and began to cry. In that moment, she felt like her planned goal might not happen at all. By dividing it into little goals, she finally picked herself up and carried on.Hunt-Broersma’s main support team is her husband and their two young children. She is posting her progress online and has also got a large social media following.As she nears the end of her goal, Hunt-Broersma is hoping to inspire a single thought in others: You’re stronger than you think and you’re capable of so much more.1. What was the biggest struggle for Hunt-Broersma?A.Fighting against cancer. B.Living with a disability.C.Breaking a world record. D.Completing the marathon.2. What might “the carbon fiber blade” underlined in Paragraph 3 be?A.A running aid. B.A sports skill. C.A training field. D.A support team.3. Why did Hunt-Broersma almost break down one day?A.She was not hopeful about her goal. B.She wasn’t supported by the family.C.She lost a record breaking chance. D.She wanted a sense of freedom.4. What can we learn from Hunt-Broersma’s story?B.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.A.A thousand-mile journey begins with onestep.C.Experience is the father of wisdom. D.Happiness is the key to success.3. For one month, I turned down all in person activities with friends: going out for drinks, dinners, parties and non-work events, to see if it would make me more productive and improve my focus on my career.Gradually, I came to enjoy the moments of doing nothing, sitting at cafes without any technology, and found myself daydreaming more frequently as I was no longer attempting to fill every spare moment. Such moments are linked to creative problem solving, brainstorming new ideas and reimagining existing projects.However, such benefits would be a concern if I remained alone at home for too long. “For many working in an office environment, socializing is one of the most important parts and people with a ‘best friend’ at work are seven times more likely to throw themselves fully in their work,” says Silvia Bellezza, professor of Harvard University. Workplace friendship also creates a common sense of purpose and a social support network. Of course, off-hours socializing is also an important way tobuild work contacts. While one month of no social life did not impact people’s relationship with existing connections, it may have reduced their ability to build new ones.During the month, I learned that I couldn’t cut out an area of life in order to lift another — a connection with people is linked to our work and helps us deal with life’s ups and downs. Researcher Ellen Galinsky has found that people who are dual-centric (兼顾的) are the most satisfied in their lives. “We find that people who are dual-centric tend to be healthier, do better at work and do better at home,” says Galinsky. Perhaps the secret to a successful career is not cutting out my social life, but combining the two.1. Why did the author refuse all in-person activities with his friends?A.To focus on his family. B.To save personal time.C.To make new friends. D.To better his career.2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The purpose of having friends. B.The benefits of keeping social.C.The importance of remaining alone. D.The skills of building new relations.3. What of the following may Ellen Galinsky agree with?A.Social life should not be cut out. B.Most people are satisfied with life.C.People should be devoted to work. D.Humans need close friends to enjoy life.4. What is the purpose of the text?A.To show the value of social life. B.To give tips on career success.C.To introduce some social activities. D.To compare some experts’ researches.4. It’s very likely that at some point, whether in school or elsewhere, you’ve come across pi, the mathematical term which is about 3.142 and most commonly represented by the Greek letter “π” .Pi has interested people around the world for over 4,000 years. Many mathematicians — from famous ones such as Fibonacci, Newton, Leibniz, and Gauss to lesser well-known mathematical minds — have toiled over pi, calculated its digits (数位), and applied it in many areas of mathematics. Some spent the better parts of their lives calculating just a few digits.In 2009, the United States House of Representatives recognized March 14 as National Pi Day. For Pi Day 2010, Google presented a Google Doodle celebrating the day, with the word Google laid over images of circles and pi symbols. The entire month of March 2014 (3/14) was observed by some as “Pi Month”. In the year 2015, pi Day had special significance on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53 a.m. and also at p.m., with the date and time representing the first 10 digits of π.Pi Day has been observed in many ways, including eating pies, throwing pies and discussing the significance of the number π, due to a pun (双关语) based on the words “pi” and “pie” in English, as well as pies tending to be round, and thus related to π. Massachusetts Institute of Technology hasoften mailed its application decision letters to would-be students for delivery on Pi Day. Starting in 2012, MIT has announced it will post those decisions privately online on Pi Day.1. What does the underlined part “toiled over” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Fought against. B.Noted down. C.Worked on. D.Broke into.2. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?B.Pi Day has become a worldwide holiday.A.Pi Day became official in the USA in2010.C.Google designed a Doodle for Pi Day. D.Pi Month referred to March, 2015.3. Why are π and “pie” related?A.They sound similar. B.They are both mysterious.C.They are valuable in math. D.They are useful in our life.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Pi Day is gaining popularity B.People celebrate strange festivalsC.MIT officially announces Pi Day D.Researches on Pi are making progress5. Father’s Day is a fairly new celebration in the British calendar compared with Mother’s Day, which has been a very popular and well celebrated festival in the UK for a very long time. 1 It was inspired by the actions of an American man named William Smart.William had a happy family but his wife died giving birth to their sixth child. 2 No doubt it was unusual back in those days. His daughter, Sonora Dodd, realised when she was an adult what her father had done for his children. It was one day in the early 1900s, and she was listening to a lecture talking about the importance of Mother’s Day. 3And so the tradition was born. It was set on the third Sunday every June, close to the anniversary (周年纪念) of Sonora’s father s death. Britain took the idea of Father’s Day from the American celebration and it has been celebrated officially since the 1970s. Father’s Day is never quite such the big commercial event that Mother’s Day is.4 Well, most people would buy their fathers a card. The card would probably have a nice message in it saying what a great Dad their father is.5 Popular gifts for Dads are probably ties, chocolates or socks. As a special treat, British people might give their Dad a bit of a rest — make him a cup of tea, or even wash his car to make him feel really appreciated.6. Subodh Kumar Singh is not an ordinary man. In fact, Singh is unusually good. This plastic surgeon (整形医师) in Uttar Pradesh, India has _________ 37,000 life-changing cleft (唇腭裂) operations free of charge. His efforts _________ impact more than one family and the life of an individual.Singh had a difficult _________. His father died when he was only 13 — the youngest of four children — forcing his brothers to leave school to _________ the family.

His work has been __________ around the globe. But Singh has remained modest. I feel __________ to have the power to transform the live s of many.

These places will include historic buildings, wonderful scenery and wildlife for all to enjoy.Formby is a coastal town just north of Liverpool and is luckily one of the few places in Britain where there are a large number of red squirrels(松鼠) . Children will love the excitement of getting to see these cute animals. The paths are well protected, meaning they are fit for pushchairs. And dogs are allowed, too.The 73-mile-long Hadrian's Wall was completed by the Romans in 128 AD after 6 years' building. Autumn walks along Hadrian's Wall are an excellent way to educate children on the history of the British Isles and really get up close to the styles of Roman buildings rather than just see it in a textbook!Not only is Lyme Park home to many trees, it is also home to a group of medieval (中世纪的) red deer and a huge Edwardian country manor (庄园) . This Peak District walk is quite fit for families, and along the way are playgrounds and tree houses, making sure that the little ones that you are with will never feel bored.This place is on the outskirts of London and provides people with perfect chances to escape from the busy city lifestyle. The flat and wide path around the river makes it more than fit for pushchairs or wheelchairs. This walk is short in length, meaning it is a great way to introduce any young one to walking as a hobby. The walk is great all year round.1.

At just 14 years old, Heman Bekele emerged as the victor of the 2023 Young Scientist Challenge, standing out among the ten finalists with his innovative creation known as the Skin Cancer Treating Soap (SCTS).Bekele’s brilliant concept centers on the development of a soap that is not only affordable, but also has the potential to reactivate the body’s natural defenders of the skin to stop skin cancer. In Bekele’s own words, “Curing cancer, one bar of soap at a time. ”He always has endless passion for biology and technology, and the Young Scientist Challenge just provided him with the perfect platform to display his ideas. Reflecting on his inspiration, Bekele shared that his childhood played a significant role in shaping his innovative thinking. Having witnessed people work tirelessly under the sun, he couldn’t help but wonder how many were aware of the risks associated with constant sun exposure.“I wanted to make my idea not only scientifically exceptional but also accessible to a broad audience,” Bekeleexpressed during an interview with the media. He received invaluable guidance from Deborah Isabelle, a product engineering specialist, who connected him with other scientists to aid him in reaching his ambitious plans.During his presentation, Bekele passionately expressed his vision of turning the soap into “a symbol of hope, accessibility, and a world where skin cancer treatment is within reach for all.”Over the coming five years, Bekele longs to perfect his invention and establish a nonprofit organization devoted to distributing his innovative creation to more places including undeveloped communities, offering hope and a practical solution in the fight against skin cancer.4. What made Bekele an instant hit?A. Starting a soap fashion.B. Overcoming skin cancer.C. Being the youngest scientist.D. Creating a soap against skin cancer.5. What inspired Bekele to invent SCTS?A. His concern for others.B. His adventure in childhood.C. His enthusiasm for technology.D. His interest in medical knowledge.6. What will Bekele do in the near future?A. Obtain official approval.B. Visit undeveloped areas.C. Increase the availability of the soap.D. Update the facilities of production.7. Which of the following can best describe Bekele?A. Inspiring and modest.B. Humorous and positive.C Creative and considerate. D. Curious and independent..CIn the animal world, speed is king. Fast animals have a leg up in outrunning other animals, which puts them high on the food chain. It would seem that all animals would go for speed, but then there’s the sloth (树懒). While a lion can go from 0 to 60 miles an hour in only five seconds, it takes a sloth all day to cover no more than 50 meters.Sloths live entirely in trees on a diet of leaves. And for this, they are extremely rare. While most of the land world is covered in trees, there are very few vertebrates (脊椎动物) that call the tree home. The aim of a 2016 study, says Jonathan Pauli, a University of Alabama professor of forest and wildlife ecology, was to help uncover why sloths are indeed so unique. “Among vertebrates, this is the rarest of lifestyles”, says Pauli. “When you picture animals that live off plant leaves, they are almost all big-things like deer. What’s super interesting about sloths is that they can’t be big.”For their research, Pauli and his Wisconsin team studied wild sloths at a field site. When the researchersmeasured the energy use of sloths, they found a wildly low burning of as little as 110 calories of energy a day. And for this, they take the cake: it is the lowest measured energetic output for any mammal (哺乳动物).“The measurement was intended to find out what it cost sloths to live over a day,”says Pauli, who adds that a diet of little but leaves lacks nutritional value and the animal’s small size doesn’t allow for overeating-so sloths need to find ways to make the most of their diets, which means using tiny amounts of energy, dramatic control of body temperature and living at an extremely slow pace.Their reward? A wonderfully widespread ecological system to call their own, one slow inch at a time.8. Why is a lion mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To admire lions’ speed.B. To state sloths’ weakness.C. To confirm lions’ lead position.D. To highlight sloths’ uniqueness.9. What is the 2016 study mainly about?A. The lifestyle of sloths.B. The diet of vertebrates.C. The species of rare animals.D. The energy use of creatures.10. What does the underlined part “take the cake” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Break down.B. Keep on.C. Stand out.D. Grow up.11. What can be inferred about sloths from Pauli’s words?A. Their slow pace is a balanced choice.B. They are in face of possible extinction.C. Their slow pace decides a tiny appetite.D. They suffer a lot against natural enemies.DFrom the day we’re born, curiosity becomes a primary driving force that motivates us to explore unknown ideas and territories in search of answers and stimulations. Human beings have an inborn desire to close the “curiosity gap” every day.A recent study found that curiosity can be a highly effective way to lead people to make smarter and healthier lifestyle choices. Evan Polman, assistant professor of marketing at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said, “Our research shows that fueling people’s curiosity can influence their choices by turning them away from inviting desires, like unhealthy foods or taking the elevator, and toward less inviting but healthier options, such as buying more fresh produce or taking the stairs.”To prove the positive potential of the curiosity gap, Polman and his team conducted a series of experiments designed to test how curiosity affected the choices people made positively. In each study, arousing curiosityresulted in noticeable behavior change. For example, in one of the experiments, Polman increased the number of participants who chose to watch a video of academic nature by promising that they would reveal the secret behind a magic trick at the end of the video.The results of the field studies on curiosity were particularly convincing to Polman. In one field study, the researchers created a 10 percent increase in the use of stairs in a university building by posting trivial (琐事) questions near the elevators and posting the answers in the stairwell. In another, they increased the purchase of fresh produce by placing a joke on the posters describing the fruit or vegetable.Polman was surprised by the degree that taking advantage of the curiosity gap could motivate people to automatically make healthier lifestyle choices. He concluded, “Our results suggest that using interventions based on curiosity gaps has the potential to increase participation in desired behaviors for which people often lack motivation. It also provides new evidence that curiosity-based interventions come at an incredibly small cost and could help push people toward a variety of positive actions. ”12. What did a recent study find about curiosity?A. It fuels people’s desires.B. It lowers people’s buying.C. It benefits people’s health.D. It determines people’s lives.13. What are those experiments by Polman’s team aimed at?A. Supporting a finding.B. Raising a research topic.C. Arousing scientists’ interest.D. Displaying negative evidence.14. What is Polman’s attitude to the results of field studies?A. Doubtful.B. Unclear.C. Approving.D. Dismissive.15. What is a suitable title for the text?A. How to stay curiousB. The magic of curiosityC. How to make health choicesD. The two sides of curiosity gap第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。
