You’ll have the chance to view some of the most well-known structures in the city such as V&A Waterfront.Day3:Cape Point Tour Cape Point is home to a rocky yet scenic landscape.This tour includes a visit to the beautiful town of Hout Bay,an exciting30-minute tour on the ship to spot the playful seals jumping in and out of the water.In the Simons town cute penguins are waiting for you.Day4:Leisure Day Enjoy spending the day at leisure.Travelers can choose some exciting activities which are not included in the package and can cause extra charges like Skydiving,Hot Air Ballooning,etc.Day5:Departure Have breakfast and then check out and get to the airport for your journey back home with a bagful of memories.1．Which can be an alternative to Table Mountain?A．Signal Hill.B．Clifton&Sea Point C．Green Market Square.D．V&A Waterfront. 2．Which day might animal lovers anticipate?A．Day2.B．Day3.C．Day4.D．Day5. 3．For which activity do travelers need to pay extra money?A．Viewing famous structures.B．Visiting Hout Bay.C．Go skydiving.D．Observing seal.My husband Wade and I run Southern Koala Rescue and are committed to saving as many koalas as we can.One day,we were called out to rescue a koala that was stuck in a burning tree;but when the flames died down,we decided to return,thinking there could be other koalas that needed our help.Wade and I were walking through the blackened bushland with our team of volunteers when I spotted a koala on a burnt tree with a swollen and infected wound the size of a20-cent piece on its ing rings on the end of poles,we coaxed（哄诱）the koala down and put it in a carrier before having it examined.The wound needed a minor operation and,afterwards,the koala,who we named Claire,had to stay indoors to keep flies off the injury. Claire was frightened of me at first,but after four weeks I gained her trust.Finally,it was time for Claire to get ready to go outside and build up enough muscle movement to be released back into the wild.This was the most satisfying part of my job because not all koalas can be saved.I did miss them when they were gone,but I knew they were not meant to be pets.After the Black Summer fires destroyed so much of the country from2019to2020,extinction for koalas is a very real possibility.For individuals,one of the easiest ways you can help koalas is leaving a dish of water in your backyard.It can save a life and that counts.4．Why were the volunteer team called out？A．To put out a big fire.B．To save a trapped koala.C．To search for missing animals.D．To clear the blackened bushland.5．What can we learn about Claire？A．It was afraid of flies.B．It got hurt by hunters.C．It needed a major operation.D．It developed trust in humans.6．Which part of the job does the author find

app)will cut out many users’accounts on December20.To protect your account,repost this warning#KeepMyAccountSafe.”Every few months,it happens again-a dozen of annoying posts from my kids’friends suddenly start to appear on my Instagram news feed.According to a new study by Stanford University,most kids don’t know what news is fake.Researchers asked more than7,800middle school and high school students to complete56tasks,like distinguishing anadvertisement from a real news story on a website and determining which blog in a series was most reliable.They found that students judged the credibility of blogs based not on the source of the material,but on how much detail they contained,or whether a large photo was attached.“Many people assume that because young people are fluent in social media,they can distinguish fake news, but our work shows the opposite to be true,”wrote lead study author Sam Wineburg,a professor at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education.Both Google and Facebook are now taking steps to control misleading news from making its way on their platforms,but they won’t be able to eliminate it completely.That is why it’s now more important than ever to teach our kids to think critically when it comes to believing various information sources.“In the coming months,we look forward to sharing our assessments and working with educators to create materials that will guide young people in the sea of disinformation they encounter online,”said Wineburg. 8．How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?A．By stating opinions.B．By showing findings.C．By quoting sayings.D．By citing a post.9．According to researchers,what determines the credibility of online information?A．The source of the material.B．The popularity of the website.C．The amount of details.D．The size of relevant photos.10．What does the underlined word“eliminate”mean in paragraph4?A．Digest.B．Update.C．Estimate.D．Remove.11．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Stronger Together:The Internet Changes Our LifeB．Be Careful:Kids Are Bad at Identifying Fake NewsC．Reliable News Has No Place on Social MediaD．Educators Have a Long Way to Go to Guide the YoungFor people who are deaf or hard of hearing,it can be difficult to pick out important sounds,such as knocks at the door or fire alarms.Now researchers at the University of Washington have developed a smartwatch app called SoundWatch,which identifies sounds and reminds users of them with a vibration and a visual readout.The project was led by Dhruv Jain,inspired by his own experience being hard of hearing.SoundWatch uses the smartwatch’s microphone to listen out for particular sounds,sends the data to a user’s connected phone for processing,then back to the watch to display in text what the sound is,and how loud it is.That’s accompanied by a vibration to tell the wearer that something has been detected.“This technology provides people with a way to experience sounds that require an action—such as getting food from the microwave when it beeps,which can improve people’s experiences and help them feel more connected to the world,”says Jain.“But it’s not perfect of course.The app sometimes gets it wrong,or takes too long to tell a user.However,these issues are being worked on.”Disability is highly personal,and Jain hopes his team can find ways for people to personalize this app for their own specific needs.For example,people can be told about the sounds they care about-a husband’s or wife’s voice versus general speech,the back door opening versus the front door opening,and more.12．What does“them”in paragraph1refer to?A．Researchers.B．Apps.C．Sounds.D．Fire alarms.13．What is mainly discussed about SoundWatch in paragraph2?A．How it works.B．Why it is invented.C．Who it is intended for.D．What it can detect.14．Which word can best describe Jain’s attitude to SoundWatch?A．Doubtful.B．Critical.C．Objective.D．Disapproving.15．What does Jain expect SoundWatch to be?A．Affordable.B．Personally tailoredC．Multifunctional.D．Fashionably designed.二、七选五Bill Gates started Microsoft when he was19and has since become one of the world’s wealthiest people. Mark Zuckerberg owns one of the most highly-valued tech companies in America.Steve Jobs founded Apple in his garage.What do these three people have in common?16．In fact,there are countless others who have started successful businesses without first earning a bachelor’s degree.17．The short answer is“YES”,despite the fact that it is possible to succeed without a degree.But the longer answer is that succeeding without a degree-especially to the level that Gates,Zuckerberg,and Jobs did-is the exception,not the general rule.18．Let’s look at some statistics.Through2021,there will be55million job openings in America.19．Even when a job does not require it,91percent of jobs actually go to people who have one.Needless to say,people with bachelor’s degrees are more likely to be employed and have a higher paying job. Hence,they are more financially secure.Of course,financial security is not everything.20．The people you meet in college will become part of an institutional support network that you can later call upon for work advancements, guiding programs,and additional skill-building prospects.A．None of them finished college.B．What does a college degree ensure you？C．There’s more to a degree than earning potential.D．Success starts the day they get bachelor’s degrees.E.Is a college degree still necessary in today’s world？F.75percent of those will require a bachelor’s degree.G.For most people,earning a bachelor’s degree still gives them clear advantages.三、完形填空A few years ago,I was at the clinic with my father,who was sitting in the waiting room for a routine test.

paperC．a news report D．a travel brochureHuang Danian, the well-known Chinese geophysicist, was born in 1958 in Guangxi, China．As a keen and able student, Huang went to the UK in 1993 to further his studies．By the time Huang moved back to China in 2008, he had been living and working in the UK for 15 years．He had a good job and a life there, but he gave it all up to return to home driven by the idea that he needed to contribute to his country．As one of the world’s leading experts in deep earth exploration technology, Huang was invited to parti cipate in the “Thousand Talent” programme．He took up a position at Jilin University, Changchun．Huang was named lead scientist on China’s deep earth exploration programme, developing advanced cameras that can see through the Earth’s crust(外壳) so that it can be analysed without having to dig into it．He set up an advanced lab, sometimes paying for equipment with his own money．Some described him as a “lunatic” (a “madman”), but this passion and drive enabled Huang to push forwards China’s deep earth explora tion technology into a world-leading position．Huang’s devotion contributed to China’s lunar probe(月球探测器) Yutu being landed on the moon in 2013 and the launch of the spacecrafts Shenzhou-11 and Tiangong-2 in 2016．Huang's health also paid the price for his commitment to his work．He began having fainting fits(昏厥) in 2012, but paid them little attention, stating he did not have time to go to see a doctor— his work always came first．In November 2016, Huang fainted and was taken to hospital, where he was diagnosed with cancer．The disease was so advanced that he had just a couple of months to live．Like the true scientist he was, Huang never gave up, but always tried to push forwards．Even from his hospital bed, he continued his work, writing letters of reference for his colleagues and replying to questions from his students．Huang died in January 2017, aged just 58．More than 800 people attended his funeral to celebrate a life that burned so bright, but was so short．17．Huang returned to China in 2008 because________．A．he desired to devote himself to his motherlandB．the “Thousand Talent” program attracted himC．Jilin University offered him a top positionD．he wasn’t satisfied with the life in the UK18．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．China’s aerospace dev elopment．B．Huang’s working attitude and style．C．Huang’s great contributions to China．D．China’s deep earth exploration technology．19．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A．The working environment caused Huang’s disease．B．Huang worked continuously despite his poor health．C．Huang was taken to hospital after he fainted in 2012D．A large sum of money was paid to treat Huang’s illness．20．Which of the following can be used to describe Huang Danian?A．Generous and honest．B．Passionate and patient．C．Modest and courageous．D．Patriotic and committed．Improve Cloud SecuritySensitive customer data has constantly been found exposed on cloud servers without password protection．To ease the problem, database software makers have been trying to make security easier for cloud database managers．At the Enigma Conference in San Francisco, Kenn White, a security manager at database software maker MongoDB, will describe a new technique, called field level encryption, to make data safer on the cloud．Field level encryption works by scrambling data before it’s sent to a cloud database and rearranging it in order when the data is needed for use．The promise of the product is to protect the contents of a cloud database, even if bad guys access it．MongoDB’s new fea ture comes as more and more companies move user data to cloud servers, rather than run their own costly data centers．It was predicted that cloud computing would be a $214 billion industry by the end of 2019．That would be up more than 17% from 2018, when it was $182 billion．Companies have rushed to the cloud without understanding all of the possible security consequences．Many companies have left countless databases exposed, revealing personal data．A database containing details about who lives in 80 million US households was left unprotected in 2019, just like the data on Facebook users．Database managers want to store their data in an unreadable form, but they also want to be able to find specific pieces of information in the database with a simple search term．For example, someone might want to look up health care patients by their Social Security numbers, even if those numbers are stored as random characters．To make this possible, field level encryption lets database managers encrypt a search term on their machine and send it to the database as a query．The database matches the encrypted version of the search term with the record it’s storing and then sends it back to you．This approach only works with specific kinds of data．For example, field level en cryption isn’t useful forlong text entries, like notes in a patient’s medical chart, because you can’t search for individual words．Still, for data like account numbers, passwords and government ID numbers, field level encryption protects data and maintains a usable database．Most importantly, White said, it’s simple to set up．Database managers turn it on with a one-time configuration change when they set up the database．“That’s really powerful,” he said in an interview．21．The underlined word “scrambling” in paragraph 2 probably means________．A．mixing B．collecting C．hiding D．storing22．What can field level encryption do?A．Secure the safety of Internet pages．B．Protect files with a unique style of storage．C．Stop bad guys from accessing the database．D．Enable companies to store files on the cloud．23．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Companies should move user data to cloud servers．B．Cloud computing achieved a 17% increase in 2019C．Companies may be unaware of the risks of the cloud．D．No companies were willing to run their own data centers．24．The author wrote the passage mainly to ________．A．present some facts B．offer security adviceC．introduce a technique D．recommend a product三、书面表达25.假如你是李华，你的英国朋友Jim所在学校要组织学生来北京游学，其中一天的活动安排为游览主题公园。

试卷 一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分） A Zoe Chambers was a successful PR （Public Relations）consultant and life was going well.She had a great job a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London.Then one evening in June last year,she received a text message telling her she was out of work. "The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through," she said. "After everything I'd done for the company,they dismissed me by text!I was so angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job.I hated everything about the city and my life." Then,Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend,Kathy,to come and stay.Kathy and her husband,Huw,had just bought a farm in north-west Wales.Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London,and now,ten months later,she is still on the farm. "The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm,I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay," said Zoe. "Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."

2020-2021学年福建省福州市高二（上）期末英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共3小题；每小题10分，满分30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。
1. A Chinese MasterZhang Daqian, born in 1899 in Sichuan Province, was one of China's most brilliant and popular artists. Not only was he extremely productive﹣it is said that he created an averageof 500 paintings a year﹣but he was also able to master a variety of painting styles, ranging from detailed portraits（人像） to expressive landscapes.Born into an artistic family, Zhang Daqian was first taught how to paint by his mother and siblings. He also travelled in a widespread way, improving his craft: from learning colouring techniques in Japan to studying Buddhist mural（墙壁的） paintings in Dunhuang. However, traditional Chinese painting remained one of the great passions of his life, and he always considered himself part of that tradition.A Spanish PioneerPablo Picasso was one of the most influential European artists of the first half of the 20th century. He pioneered Cubism（立体主义） and also influenced Symbolism and Surrealism. He was a painter and a sculptor who moved between many diverse styles.Picasso was born in 1881, into a creative family in the Spanish city of Malaga. His father was a painter and he encouraged and taught young Pablo. Picasso's mother famously claimed that his first word was "pencil". When he was young, his family would visit Madrid to see works by the old Spanish masters.________In 1956, Zhang Daqian visited Picasso at his home in Nice, France. It is said that the two artists admired each other. At that meeting, they gave each other some artworks. Picasso gave Zhang 600 works in total, all of which were his imitations of Chinese paintings. He asked Zhang to teach him how to draw bamboo. Following this meeting, the two artists became friends and exchanged letters after Zhang's return to China.The two artists had more in common than mutual admiration. Both were incredibly diverse in their styles, much admired, influential and very productive. In 2011, Zhang Daqian pushed his friend Picasso off the top of the list of best﹣selling artists in the world.（1）Why was Zhangdaqian considered as a master？________A He gained much knowledge of detailed portraits.B He created over 500 paintings in his life.C He had a good command of landscapes.D He mastered a variety of painting styles.．（2）Why did Zhang Daqian travel to different places？________A To enjoy the beautiful landscape.B To develop his painting skills.C To learn colouring techniques.D To study Buddhist mural paintings.．（3）What style of painting did Pablo Picasso first develop？________A Symbolism.B Cubism.C Surrealism.D Impressionism.．（4）Which of the following best describes the two artists？________A Modest.B Considerate.C Productive.D Flexible.．（5）What does the underlined subtitle "East Meets West" mean？________A Art has no border.B Art reflects reality.C Art creates atmosphere.D Art conveys emotion.．2. People across Western Europe are experiencing a heat wave this week, with the worst still to come on Thursday. Officials sounded high﹣temperature health warnings on Wednesday, mindful that some heat waves before had caused thousands of deaths across an area where people are not used to such weather and few homes have air conditioning.Rene Pierron, 51, a street cleaner at Paris City Hall, was not lucky, and said it was difficult to work outdoors under such conditions. "The buildings and roads here take the heat in during the day and act like radiators （散热器）﹣it's unbearable, " he said while taking a break near the Avenue des Champs﹣Elysees.Kate Simmonds, also 51, who works in a restaurant in central London, could commiserate （同情）."It's so hot﹣we can't work like this, " she said on Wednesday. But she said business was good this week, with plenty of people buying cold drinks and ice cream. Nation after nation have given health﹣related warning for people becoming tired and weak in the heat. Belgium gave its highest warning since its weather warning system was put in place 20 years ago, and Germany placed the whole country under a heat warning.Britain's weather service, the Met Office, placed five of England's nine areas, including London, on a "Level Three" heat health watch, one level short of a national emergency.Liz Bentley, the chief executive of Britain's Royal Meteorological Society, warned: "While a country like Britain is not used to heat waves, they could become more common because of the changing climate. If you live in a Mediterranean（地中海） country, the population adapts to these temperatures. But we'll see the number of deaths go up in the next coming days."（1）What did Rene Pierron think of the weather？________A It created some business chances.B It made his work more difficult.C It might cause people to die.D It would end sooner or later.．（2）How did Germany deal with the heat wave？________A It provided air conditioning for poor people.B It suggested people stay away from work.C It has carried out many helpful actions.D It warned the whole country of the heat.．（3）On which level is a heat national emergency in Britain？________A Two.B Three.C Four.D Five.．（4）Which of the following did Liz Bentley agree with？________A Such weather will appear less frequently.B The danger of the weather have been gradually realized.C People from Mediterranean countries adjust to theweather. D Fewer people from Britain have been influenced by the weather.．（5）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？________A Heat Wave Spreads across Western EuropeB Heat Wave Makes Things Bad for Human BeingsC Europe Tries to Find Ways to Deal with Heat WaveD Heat Wave Reminds People to Protect the Environment．3. Fertile Sichuan has long been one of China's major tea﹣ producing regions. Chengdu had been noted for its teahouses by the Tang dynasty﹣as early as the ninth century. For centuries, teahouses were places for entertainment as well as tea, with performances of storytelling, music, and Sichuan opera in particular. That is a fading art these days, but Yuelai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theater still hosts opera every Saturday afternoon.You will find most of Chengdu's old﹣school teahouses in parks and temple compounds （大院）. Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park buzzes with morning retirees, lunchtime office workers, and afternoon visitors. All of them sit under red lanterns by a lotus pond. When the loud confused noise gets too much, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park.________ are older and quieter. They bring songbirds on outings, hanging their cages in the branches of willow trees, and play mahjong in a pavilion covered with moss. In more recent years, however, increasingly elaborate（精致的） teahouses have opened to appeal to the younger generation. They tend to have a taste for superior teas in a more contemporary style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the city's most fashionable retail（零售） district.As in all teahouses, the tea comes in individual packets with a thermos of water. Maofeng green tea from Mount Emei, south of Chengdu, is the traditional favorite. Shake the loose leaves into your palm﹣sized cup. The cup usually comes with a saucer and a lid that both functions to strain surface﹣floating leaves and to keep the tea warm. Don't let the water level in your cup get too low, since any bitterness from the tea leaves is concentrated at the bottom. You can top up your tea all afternoon and needn't buy anything else.（1）What aspects of Chengdu's teahouses does the first paragraph mainly focus on？________A Art & history.B Art & popularity.C Function & popularity.D History & function.．（2）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "regulars" underlined in Paragraph 2？________A Tourists.B Owners.C Customers.D Waiters.．（3）Which of the following teahouses would be your best choice if you wished to be left in peace for a while？________A Yuelai Teahouse.B Mi Xun Teahouse.C Heming Teahouse.D Shaocheng Teahouse.．（4）What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？________A Some useful tips for readers who want to visit Chengdu's teahouses.B Some interesting facts the author found in books on Chengdu's teahouses.C Some painfullessons the author learned from his trip to Chengdu's teahouses. D Some basic rules readers have to follow if they want to visit Chengdu's teahouses.．（5）What is the purpose of the text？________A To experience Chengdu's everyday life.B To introduce Chengdu's teahouseculture. C To stress the advantages of a slower pace. D To inspire readers to travel to Sichuang.．第二节（共1小题；每小题10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。
