河北省邯郸市三龙育华中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷一、阅读理解There’re some important days to remember in April.First Modern OlympicsOn April 6, 1896, King George Ⅰ of Greece welcomed people to take part in the Summer Olympic Games in Athens.Back then, Athens was just a small village, and news about the Games was unable to reach many people. As a result, only 245 athletes took part in the games. They weren’t chosen by their countries like now. Instead, they came by themselves and paid for the journey themselves. Ever since then, the Summer Olympic Games have been held every four years in a different city around the world.World Health DayApril 7 is World Health Day. This day is not just about hand washing and healthy eating. Each year a different theme is selected. For example, the theme of 2012 World Health Day was Ageing and Health.In 2018, World Health Day focused on high blood pressure. The main causes of blood pressure include stress, too much salt in your food and too little exercise.World Earth DayWe call the Earth our “mother”. However, our “mother” is facing lots of problems. April 22 is designated (指定) as World Earth Day. It’s a day to remind us to care about the planet. On this day people do things to help improve the environment and cut down their energy use. World Earth Day comes only once a year, but it reminds people to live in a green way every day. If we truly care about the planet, everyday can be Earth Day!1．Why did only 245 athletes take part in the first Olympic Games?A．Because most people weren’t interested in it.B．Because communication wasn’t developed.C．Because King George Ⅰ didn’t allow the news to be spread.D．Because the journey to Athens was too long and expensive.2．Which of the following isn’t the reason for high blood pressure?A．Too much work.B．Too much stress.C．Too little exercise.D．Too much salt.3．Why does the writer write the text?A．To ask us to respect the tradition.B．To tell us some important days in April.C．To ask us to protect the environment.D．To tell us how to celebrate those days.One day while in the forest, Margaret heard a squeak (吱吱声). She followed the sound, and in the bushes found a little fox. Margaret wanted to leave, but the fox ran after her, limping (跛行) on one leg. Margaret brought the fox to her apartment. She fed it, and decided to take it to the doctor, and then return it to the forest.Before going to the doctor, she posted several pictures of the animal online. Many people looked at these photos. Margaret decided to read the comments under them. She thought that this cute creature could only bring warmth and joy. And in most people, these photos caused these feelings. However, there were others. They lashed out at Margaret. “You think you have done a great job, but you hurt it,” read one comment. “This is a wild animal, and it must live in the wild!”The next day, Margaret brought the fox to the doctor. The doctor examined the animal and said that nothing could be done. An animal trap must have broken its leg in the past, and it didn’t heal (康复) properly. The doctor also said if Margaret had not taken the fox home, he would have died of hunger, since he would not have been able to hunt.Margaret made posts about it. But people did not calm down. Some said it was nice to save a wild animal. But others argued that the apartment was not a good place even for a wounded fox. After all, he needs space. Margaret did not know what to do to satisfy everyone.But the situation was solved. A zookeeper offered to take the fox because their animals lived in large open-air cages. Margaret agreed. She took the fox to the zoo and often visited the fox. And she was also surprised that the fox taught her a life lesson. From different points of view, any deed (行为) can look either like an absolute evil or a kind deed.4．Why did Margaret decide to take the fox home?A．Out of fun.B．Out of pity.C．Out of fear.D．Out of joy.5．What does the underlined part “lashed out at” in paragraph 2 mean?A．had faith in.B．took advantage of.C．were not satisfied.D．were grateful for.6．What can we infer from the doctor’s words?A．The fox was saved in time.B．It was illegal to kill the fox.C．It was dangerous to set animal traps in the wild.D．The fox should have been taken to the doctor earlier.7．What lesson did Margaret learn from this experience?A．People are born kind.B．People see things differently.C．People are mean most of the time.D．People should put themselves in others’ shoes.We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes’ walk from home where neighborhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is to pick up a screen and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today’s children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, addicted to watching television and using the Internet.In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organizations have begun coming up with plans to resist this trend (趋势). A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realized that his children, then aged five and three, were addicted to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his 3-year-old son’s ear without getting a response. He realized that something needed to change. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which records the birth of the World Network, a group of organizations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” David Bond says. “There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be on habit for life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: “We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to comeback in for a while.”Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.8．What is the problem with the author’s children?A．They often annoy their neighbors.B．They are tired of doing their homework.C．They have no friends to play with.D．They stay in front of screens for too long. 9．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “chocolate” in paragraph 2?A．pudding B．handbag C．wine D．crop10．How did David Bond realize his idea?A．By organizing outdoor activities.B．By making a documentary film.C．By advertising in London media.D．By creating a network of friends. 11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Let Children Have Fun.B．Young Children Need More Free Time.C．Market Nature to Children.D．David Bond: A Role Model for Children.What you do after studying could have a big impact on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep.When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied.The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning—what is called “wakeful rest”.A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest.If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy!Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicineat Harvard Medical School (HMS) notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well.” It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information.”The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get about between 6 and 7 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That’s it — a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.12．According to the research, shortly after studying students are recommended ______ A．To take a wakeful rest.B．To play a video game.C．To have a nice sleep at night.D．To read a newspaper.13．How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF?A．Less than 6 hours.B．No more than 7 hours.C．Around 8 hours.D．Just 7 hours.14．What’s paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The importance of sleep.B．The types of resting activities.C．The good ways to get a rest.D．The reason for having a rest.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Low-cost Tips on Working.B．Good Things to Do After Your Study.C．Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep?D．How Long Should We Rest After Learning?Scientists in Australia have discovered that they can use the world’s smelliest fruits to make equipment that could power electric cars. A durian (榴莲) is a fruit that looks like a pineapple. It is very popular in some Asian countries, but its smell is so unpleasant that some of those countries have banned it from public places. Its smell has been compared to rotting eggs and even smelly old gym socks.Vincent Gomes and his colleagues at the University of Sydney, in Australia, used a durianand a jackfruit-another fruit known for its terrible smell-to make energy-storing devices called supercapacitors (超级电容器).Supercapacitors are an alternative (备选) to batteries. They can’t store as much energy as a normal battery does, but they are much quicker to recharge. Durians and jackfruits contain some of the chemicals used in supercapacitors, which gave Gomes the idea. To make the fruit-based devices, the team heated and then freeze-dried the uneatable cores of the durian and jackfruit to make a special kind of material called an aerogel (气凝胶).Aerogels are one of the world’s lightest solid materials. Often called “frozen smoke”, they are made by removing the liquid from a gel and replacing it with air. They have many scientific uses, but one of their special features is the ability to conduct electric currents, which makes them an important part of supercapacitors. The aerogels made from durian and jackfruit both worked well when placed inside a supercapacitor, although the durian aerogel was found to be the better of the two.The discovery is important because the materials nowadays used to make supercapacitors are expensive. Using natural foods like durians and jackfruits, Gomes says, could reduce environmental pollution, as well as costs.16．What makes some countries have different attitudes toward the durian?A．Its smell.B．Its appearance.C．Its value.D．Its popularity. 17．Which paragraph mentions Gomes’s inspiration of creation?A．Paragraph 1.B．Paragraph 2.C．Paragraph 3.D．Paragraph 4. 18．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Special features.B．Electric currents.C．Scientific uses.D．Aerogels.19．What can we learn about fruit-based supercapacitors?A．They are devices for producing electricity.B．They are green and economical.C．They are chemicals from durians.D．They are light and liquid.In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. Leave your small town and make something of yourself 20 . Leave. Go.After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. 21 . But I wanted to challenge and get out of my comfort zone. And you now what? 22 . Only one thing took me by surprise — few students were from the country side. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco... And when I had conversations with these students — in or outside of class — we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “urban that”.23 .And this urban interest doesn’t just happen in college. I went to an education meeting a couple of years ago, and a professor, an expert in education, was there to give a speech. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside?” And this man was speechless.I’ll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.More and more young people are heading for our big cities, leaving small towns and never coming back. But I don’t want to add to that movement. 24 . Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.A．I want to do the oppositeB．Understood the difference in social atmosphere.C．Get well prepared for your future.D．I did love my time there.E．Young people can’t go back to their towns.F．It was like small town America didn’t exist.G．Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.二、完形填空When I tried out for the football team during the summer before 9th grade, I never imagined how important this sport would become in my life.

His experiment wasn’t working and he desperately needed help. I was then a fift h year PhD student, and I took pride in being the senior member of the lab, whom everyone looked up to.But that also meant I was the one everyone turned to for help - which ate away hours, days, and sometimes weeks that I could have spent on my own research.There were many reasons I had a hard time saying no to such pleas(恳求). I was new to the United States for graduate school. I found it difficult to make new friends and discover activities I enjoyed. So I spent a huge chunk of my time in the lab, with my lab-mates serving as my primary source of social connection. I feared that if I brushed them off, I’d lose their favor.But the extra responsibilities came at a cost. I had to work extra hours to catch up with my own work, and I often made sacrifices to my personal life.It wasn’t until my wife gave birth to our first child that I realized how thin I had stretched myself, and how misguided my priorities were. While she lay in a hospital bed in the early stages of labor, I sat nearby hunched(伏首前倾的)over my laptop finishing up a work report hours later, after hearing my daughter’s first cry and watching her tiny fingers grab tightly onto mine, it dawned on me: I should have been fully present during my daughter’s birth. I was clearly spending too much time working if my job had intruded(侵入)into one of the most precious moments of my life.From then on, I decided to spend more time with my family by paring down my work tasks and carefully considering each request for help. I still enjoyed collaborating with others, but I prioritized mutually beneficial tasks or those my manager asked me to take on, rather than accepting everything that came my way.I noticed many benefits: no longer working overtime, more family time, and improved work performance. I was also pl eased to discover that “Sorry, I’d love to help but I have a deadline coming up” is an acceptable response to a request for assistance.It’s hard to say “no” to those you work with. But I’ve learned that sometimes that’s the best course of action to avoid an excessive workload and lead a freer and happier life.4.

What did the author decide to do after his daughter’s birth?A．To put his work tasks aside.B．To cut his work tasks down.C．To stop his work tasks.D．To get familiar with his work tasks.7.

D．Learning to say “no”.Not only is second-hand shopping good for the planet and your wallet, but new research finds that the more conscious (关注的) of style you are, the more likely you are to shop for second-hand clothes.It is often assumed that those who shop for second-hand clothes do so to save money or reduce their impact on the environment. In fact, according to the research, style-consciousness is a bigger predictor of second-hand shopping than frugality or eco-consciousness.Style-consciousness is very different from fashion-consciousness. Fashion is all about the “new” , and is constantly evolving. Style, on the other hand, is about expressing long-term individual identity.Fashion shoppers are used to a continuous supply of new trends and fast fashion products. Fast fashion works quickly to replicate (复制) an ever-moving stream of fashion trends, generating large volumes of low-quality clothes. The impact of fast fashion on the environment is significant and well-documented. Globally ,the fast fashion industry creates 92 million tons of waste per year. Less than 15 percent of clothes are recycled or reused.A style-conscious person expresses themselves through their clothes. These shoppers want second-hand clothes that show their personal style and values. They look for authentic and original pieces and avoid mainstream trends and fast fashion. They buy clothes that are timeless, well-made and all ow them to express their individual identity.Going against the fast fashion trend, growing numbers of people are shopping for second-hand clothing. And the number of second-hand stores is also increasing. The research suggests much of this growth is due to shoppers considering themselves to be style-conscious.We hope with increasing numbers of second-hand stores, markets and online platforms selling a range of quality, pre-loved clothes at different price points for different budgets — coupled with the growing acceptance of second-hand shopping — shoppers will consider buying second-hand more often. Not only are you helping the planet, you are also likely to be doing it with style.8. What does the underlined word “frugality” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Buying expensive items. B．Not recycling used clothes.C．Being environmentally aware. D．Not spending much money.9. How are fashion-conscious shoppers different from style-conscious shoppers?A．They keep up with current trends.B．They take a greater interest in clothes.C．They prefer to buy low-quality clothes.D．They are more conscious of the environment.10. Why do style-conscious shoppers want to wear second-hand clothes?A．To understand themselves better.B．To make statements about themselves.C．To express their concerns about the planet.D．To prove the value of second-hand clothes.11. What might be a suitable title for the text?A．The More Stylish, the Better. B．Helping the Planet with Style.C．Shopping Second Hand Matters. D．How Fast Fashion Affects the Planet. Natural selection is the process by which one type of animal within a species develops well becauseof certain characteristics that make it more likely to live than others in its group. The history of the peppered moth (桦尺蛾) is an example of the natural selection process.In nineteenth-century England, certain types of peppered moths were able to better blend (融合) into their surroundings. During that time period, great changes were happening in Great Britain. The Industrial Revolution was part of this change, and with it came air pollution. Natural selection usually takes hundreds or even thousands of years to occur. For the peppered moth, this process occurred relatively quickly .At the beginning of the Industrial Age, most peppered moths in England were light-coloured and covered with black markings, although a few moths had dark-coloured wings. Because the light-coloured moths blended into the light-coloured bar k on the trees, they could not be easily seen by birds that would eat them. As the air grew more polluted, however, tree trunks (树干) became covered with soot (煤烟) and became darker. The light-coloured moths became easy for birds to see against the dark tree trunks. Since the dark-coloured moths now had the advantage, their numbers grew. Within 50 years, the peppered moth went from being mostly light-coloured to being mostly dark-coloured.In the twentieth century, the air cleared up, and the peppered moth population changed again. As tree trunks lightened due to less soot in the air, light-coloured moths once again had an advantage. Their numbers increased as soot levels declined. Depending on their environment, the colouration of the moths helped them to be “naturally selected” to survive.12. What was unusual about the pe ppered moth’s natural selection process?A．Its uncertainty. B．Its complexity.C．Its contributing factors. D．Its length of time.13. What can we learn from paragraph 3?A．Both kinds of moths preferred dark-coloured trunks.B．Light-coloured moths were more sensitive to pollution.C．Different kinds of moths preferred different air conditions.D．Dark-coloured moths were originally easier to see on trees.14. What would most likely happen if soot darkened England’s trees again?A．New species of moths would appear.B．Light-coloured moths would die out.C．Dark-coloured moths would rise in number again.D．Moths would be less dependent on their surroundings.15. What does the author want to illustrate with the example of moths?A．Nothing is permanent. B．It is the fittest that survives.C．Keep up with the times. D．Environmental protection is essential. Going to concerts and live performances is a lot of fun. As a teen, you’ll want to prepare for the event far in advance in order to ensure that your concert experience is enjoyable.Check to make sure that the concert venue (场所) is for all ages.Some venues, particularly those that serve alcohol, will only allow entry for guests who are over 21 years old. 16 If you buy a ticket and get turned away at the door, you likely will not get your money back.Ask your parents for permission.17 Have a conversation with your parents to figure out how you will travel to and from the concert, and talk about ground rules for staying safe at the event.Find a friend to go with.For your safety, it’s best not to attend concerts alone. 18 If you’re having trouble finding company, consider posting on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram to see if other people in your social network are interested.Buy tickets.If the concert is for a popular band, figure out exactly when the tickets go on sale. 19 sells tickets for bigger shows, but if you’re going to a smaller show, look online at the venue’s website for information on how to buy tickets.Research venue policies and regulations.Find the venue’s web page to get a sense of what to expect, and to avoid any problem on the day of the concert. You should know how early the doors will open. 20During my last stay in France, I got used to biking down a quiet road. Round a corner, I _______ a little house. In its yard, there was an elderly woman. I waved at her as I went by, and she must have thought I was some _________ tourist, because she didn’t wave back.The _________ thing happened the second day. But on the third day, the old woman _______ a wave, and by the fourth day, she nearly got out of her chair as I _________ to her.“Good morning, Madam!” It became a small ritual (礼节) between us.On my last ride there, however, I didn’t ___________ the lady there.

Textbook publisher Pearson is the largest publisher — of any kind — in the world.It costs about $1 million to create a new textbook. A freshman textbook will have dozens of contributors, from subject-matter experts through graphic and layout artists to expert reviewers and classroom testers. Textbook publishers connect professors, instructors and students in ways that alternatives, such as open e-textbooks and open educational resources, simply do not. This connection happens not only by means of collaborative development, review and testing, but also at conferences where faculty regularly decide on their textbooks and curricula for the coming year.It is true that textbook publishers have recently reported losses, largely due to students renting or buying used print textbooks. But this can be chalked up to the excessively high cost of their books — which has increased over 1,000 percent since 1977. A restructuring of the textbook industry may well be in order. But this does not mean the end of the textbook itself.While they may not be as dynamic as an iPad, textbooks are not passive or lifeless. For example, over the centuries, they have simulated (模拟) dialogues in a number of ways. From 1800 to the recent day, textbooks have done this by posing questions for students to answer inductively (归纳性地). That means students are asked to use their individual experience to come up with answers to general questions. Today’s psychology texts, for example, ask: “How much of your personality do you think you inherited?” while ones in physics say: “How can you predict where the ball you tossed will land?”Experts observe that “textbooks come in layers, something like an onion.” For an active learner, engaging with a textbook can be an interactive experience: Readers proceed at their own pace. They “customize” their books by engaging with different layers and linkages. Highlighting, Post-It notes, dog-ears and other techniques allow for further customization that students value in print books over digital forms of books.36. What does the passage say about open educational resources?A．They contribute to teaching as much as to learning.B．They don’t profit as much as traditional textbooks do.C．They can’t connect professors and students as textbooks do.D．They compete fiercely for customers with textbook producers.37. What is the main cause of the publishers’ losses?A．Failure to meet student need. B．Industry restructuring.C．Emergence of e-books. D．Falling sales.38. What are students expected to do in the learning process?A．Think carefully before answering each question.B．Ask questions based on their own understanding.C．Answer questions using their personal experience.D．Give answers showing their respective personality.39. What do experts say about students using textbooks?A．They can digitalize the prints easily.B．They can learn in an interactive way.C．They can purchase customized versions.D．They can adapt the material themselves.How a few members of the animal kingdom handle the transition to adulthood?African elephantsThese beautiful beasts come close to imitate teen rebellion. Calves spend a decade with their mothers in female-dominated groups ---- and ladies stay there ---- but adolescent boys leave mom for noisy crews of bros. In their 20s, they often downsize to smaller male groups.Orangutans (猩猩)Slow metabolism allows these primates to survive food shortages ---- times when weather makes ripe fruit scarce. But energy efficiency comes at a cost; growth and maturation take time. Orangutan mamas nurse their young longer than any other wild creature does.Orcas(逆戟鲸)Killer whales join their mother’s familial group for life. This lasting-relationship seems to increase a pup’s chance of survival; if mom dies, a young male (under 30) is three times more likely to die than a peer whose mother is alive. Risk of death post-mom-mortem rises as kids get older.Harp sealsA harp seal’s “childhood” lasts just 12 days. A pup’s sole purpose during that brief period of coddling(宠爱) is to constantly nurse, gaining a fifth of its birth weight in blubber(鲸脂) every day. Once it’s fat ---- they become greater from 25 to 80 pounds ---- it slides off the ice and takes on the sea.Wolf spidersEvery parent knows that tired toddlers love to hitch a piggyback ride. The wolf spider straps all her babies (40 or 50, on average) onto her back at once, carrying the brood until they are capable of fully functional spider-hood. But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days.40. According to the passage, which animals take the biggest responsibility in raising their young?A．Harp seals. B．African elephants C．Orcas. D．Wolf spiders.41. What can we learn from the sentence “But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days”?A．Other grown wolf spiders will come to take care of the babies.B．The toddlers are too heavy for parents to hitch a piggyback ride.C．Baby spiders are able to live on their own after a short period of time.D．Baby spiders can make full use of spider-hood before they leave their parents.42. Who will be interested in this passage?A．A student who is doing a project on animal growth.B．A kid who is keen on animal watching.C．A zoo-worker who is responsible for visitors’ safety.D．A doctor who specializes in animals’ health.Scientific publishing has long been a license to print money. Scientists need journals in which to publish their research, so they will supply the articles without monetary reward. Other scientists perform the specialized work of peer review also for free, because it is a central element in the acquisition of status and the production of scientific knowledge.With the content of papers secured for free, the publisher needs only find a market for its journal. Until this century, university libraries were not very price sensitive. Scientific publishers routinely report profit margins approaching 40% on their operations, at a time when the rest of the publishing industry is in an existential crisis.The Dutch giant Elsevier, which claims to publish 25% of the scientific papers produced in the world , made profits of more than £900m last year, while UK universities alone spent more than £210m in 2016 to enable researchers to access their own publicly funded research; both figures seem to rise unstoppably despite increasingly desperate efforts to change them.The most drastic, and thoroughly illegal, reaction has been the emergence of Sci-Hub, a kind of global photocopier for scientific papers, set up in 2012, which now claims to offer access to every paywalled article published since 2015. The success of Sci-Hub, which relies on researchers passing on copies they have themselves legally accessed, shows the legal ecosystem has lost legitimacy among its users and must be transformed so that it works for all participants.In Britain the move towards open access publishing has been driven by funding bodies. In some ways it has been very successful. More than half of all British scientific research is now published under open access terms: either freely available from the moment of publication, or paywalled for a year or more so that the publishers can make a profit before being placed on general release.Yet the new system has not worked out any cheaper for the universities. Publishers have responded to the demand that they make their product free to readers by charging their writers fees to cover the costs of preparing an article. These range from around ￡500 to $5,000. A report last year pointed out that the costs both of subscriptions and of these “article preparation costs” had been steadily rising at a rate above inflation. In some ways the scientific publishing model resembles the economy of the social internet: labour is provided free in exchange for the hope of status, while huge profits are made by a few big firms who run the market places. In both cases, we need a rebalancing of power.43. Scientific publishing is seen as “a license to print money” partly because________A．its funding has enjoyed a steady increase. B．its marketing strategy has been successful.C．its payment for peer review is reduced. D．its content acquisition costs nothing. 44. Which statement is true from Paragraphs 2 to 4?A．Scientific publisher Elsevier have thrived mainly on university libraries.B．Most scientific publishers gone through an existential crisis until this century.C．Sci-Hub offers free access to paywalled articles published since 2015.D．The researchers’ legally-accessed copies deny the legal ecosystem legitimacy.45. It can be learned from Paragraphs 5 and 6 that open access terms________A．allow publishers some room to make B．render publishing much easier formoney. scientists.D．free universities from financial burdens.C．reduce the cost of publicationsubstantially.46. Which of the following characteristics the scientific publishing model?A．Trial subscription is offered. B．Labour triumphs over status.C．Costs are well controlled. D．The few feed on the many.In a social situation, eye contact with another person can show that you are paying attention in a friendly way. But it can also be antagonistic such as when a political candidate tums toward their competitor during a debate and makes eye contact that signals hostility. Here ‘s what har d science reveals about eye contact:We know that a typical infant will instinctively gaze into its mother’s eyes, and she will look back. This mutual gaze is a major part of the attachment between mother and child. 47 . It can catch someone’s attention in a crowded room, “Eye contact and smile” can signal availability and confidence, a common-sense notion supported in studies by psychologist Monica Moore.48 . Neuroscientist Bonnie Augeung found that the hormone oxytocin increased the amount of eye contact from men toward the interviewer during a brief interview when the direction of their gaze was recorded. This was also found in high- functioning men with some autistic spectrum symptoms, who may tend to avoid eye contact. Specific brain regions that respond during direct gaze are being explored by other researches, using advanced methods of brain scanning.Eye contact can also be aggressive. With the use of eye-tracking technology, Julia Minson of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government concluded that eye contact can signal very different kinds of messages, depending on the situation. Eye contact may be a sign of connection or trust in friendly situations. 49 . Whether you’re a politician or a parent, it might be helpful to keep ‘in mind that tryin g to maintain eye contact may backfire if you’re trying to convince someone who has a different set of beliefs than you,“ said Minson.Eye fixations are brief. When we look at a face or a picture, our eyes pause on one spot at a time, often on the eyes or mouth. These pauses typically occur at about three per second, and the eyes then jump to another spot, until several important points in the image are registered like a series of snapshots. 50 . And it is the subject of current research.In people who score high in a test of neuroticism, a personality dimension associated with self-consciousness and anxiety, eye contact triggered more activity associated with avoidance, according to the Finnish researcher Jari Hietanen and colleagues. but that their brain reactions also differ-” A more direct finding is that people who scored high for negative emotions like anxiety looked at others for shorter periods of time and reported more comfortable feelings when others did not look directly at them.passage in no more than 60 words.

Those are a few of the traits of successful science crowdfunding efforts that emerge from a recent study that examined nearly 400 campaigns. But having a large network and some promotional skills may be more crucial.Crowdfunding, raising money for a project through online appeals, has taken off in recent years for everything from making movies to producing water-saving gadgets. Scientists have tried to tap Internet donors, too, with mixed success. Some raised more than twice their goals, but others have fallen short of reaching even modest targets.To determine what separates science crowdfunding triumphs from failures, a team led by science communications scholar Mike Schafer of the University of Zurich examined the content of the webpages for 371 recent campaigns.Four traits stood out for those that achieved their goals, the researchers report in Public Understanding of Science. For one, they use a crowdfunding platform that specializes in raising money for science, and not just any kind of project. Although sites like Kickstarter take all comers, platforms such as and only present scientific projects. For another, they present the project with a funny video because good visuals and a sense of humor improved success. Most of them engage with potential donors, since projects that answered questions from interested donors fared better. And they target a small amount of money. The projects included in the study raised $4000 on average, with 30% receiving less than $1000. The more money a project sought, the lower the chance it reached its goal, the researchers found.Crowdfunding can be part of researchers’ efforts to reach the public, and people give because “they feel a connection to the person” who is doing the fundraising — not necessarily to the science.________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________52. 面临意外情况，我们不应该显得缺乏勇气和自信。

2023届山西省际名校联考二(冲刺卷)英语试卷
2023届山西省际名校联考二（冲刺卷）英语试卷（含听力）学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Nowadays, over 6,000 national parks exist in the world. Of all, these are the ones that have been around for hundreds of years and should be on everyone’s bucket list.Guilin and Lijiang River National Park, ChinaIt is surrounded by striking natural beauty and can be explored by land. But the river national park, as the name suggests, is best explored through leisurely boat rides and cruises that take visitors through many canals and ancient towns that come along the way of the river. Calanques National Park, FranceWhile most go to France for the twinkling Eiffel Tower, few tour plans involve a stop at the Calanques National Park, which is made up of both land and sea, with over 140 protected species of animals and plants that reside inside. Because of its topography, the park is unique in that it can be explored through a mix of activities both for those who like waterbodies and those who’d rather stay on land.Yorkshire Dales, United KingdomContrary to the popular association of national parks with the wilderness it is filled with winding valleys, hills and villages where over 24,000 people live and work. Yorkshire Dales is also home to several food shops, and the park hosts cheese festivals and farmers markets regularly, so it’s best to go hungry.Kakadu National Park AustraliaIt is a delight for those who like a bit of history mixed with the biodiversity of national parks. While it houses thousands of species of wildlife, there’s more to the national park than that.1．What is recommended for a trip to Guilin and Lijiang River National Park? A．Observing local customs.B．Exploring it through boats. C．Witnessing geological process.D．Going with an empty stomach. 2．What can tourists do in Calanques National Park?A．Visit an archeological reserve.B．Enjoy the local farmers markets. C．See the world-famous Eiffel Tower.D．Observe protected animals and plants 3．What do the four national parks have in common?A．They have a long history.B．There are residents inside.C．They feature cheese festivals.D．There are many ancient towns. ..Amy, a day old, was abandoned at a police station in Seoul. Her birth parents couldn’t afford to give Amy the appropriate healthcare then. She spent her first three months in an orphanage before she was adopted. “I always thought, why should I be more thankful to my adoptive parents than the next person?” she says.In 2011, Amy reconnected with her birth mother in South Korea, her adoptive mum by her side. “My Korean mother took my American mother’s hands in hers and said with tears, ‘Thank you.’ After that, my whole world changed,” Amy says. At the time, she was working in the e-commerce sector and struggling with anxiety, depression and an eating disorder. Reconnecting with her birth family, however made her feel like the luckiest person in the world and she wanted to actively share her good fortune. That year, she quit her job andco-founded the Global Gratitude Alliance, which partners with grassroots organizations to create community-led solutions or social and economic change.Since then, a reflexive sense of thankfulness has become Amy’s frame of reference for work, relationships and daily life in general. She tried to rethink her world view, appreciate the little things and make connections with others. For Amy, the attitude shift helped her overcome health issues —— she didn’t need the drugs any more after she returned from Korea.Those positive effects inspired Amy to share the experience with others. Through a partnership with a home for orphaned children in Nepal, the Global Gratitude Alliance provided teachers with workshops that concluded with a ceremony of giving thanks. The participants used those techniques to help their students and community after the destructive earthquake of 2015. Children from the school recently visited a local seniors’ home to build relationships with the residents there. “Gratitude creates a cycle of giving and receiving,” Amy says.4．What can we know from the passage?A．Amy was raised by an American couple.B．Amy received proper treatment as an infant.C．Amy was more thankful to her birth mother.D．Amy was orphaned three months after her birth.5．What played a key role in Amy’s change?A．Her job quitting B．The reunion with her birth mother. C．The struggle against her disease.D．The connections with volunteers. 6．What can we know about members of the Global Gratitude Alliance?A．They hosted ceremonies in workshops.B．They sought partners for orphaned children.C．They built relations with adoptive parents.D．They contributed to post-disaster service.7．What is the text mainly about?A．Good fortune inspires people a lot.B．Reflection helps build frame of life. C．Family reunion gets positive effects D．Gratitude needs to be widely spread.Don’t feel too bad if you’re the type to still be in bed past 11am on a Saturday. Yes, those up-at-6am types might look self-satisfied with their Instagram stories of sunrise yoga and morning museum trips, but it turns out that getting some extra rest at the weekend could be good for your mental well-being.Having a lie-in could halve your risk of getting depression, suggests research from Yonsei University. But researchers waned -this benefits only apply if you sleep for an extra two hours. Any more than that and you actually increase your risk.Researchers at the South Korean university came to this conclusion after tracking 5,500 people who said they often missed out on a full night’s sleep during the working week. They found that those who caught up on sleeping by having a lie-in of an extra two hours at the weekend were 48% less likely to develop depression.Those who had a one-hour lie-in reduced their risk of low mood by a third. But for people who slept for longer than two hours extra on Saturday and Sunday, depression rates were 16% higher.These findings are backed up by a 2018 study from Sweden, which suggested that if y could bring up your average duration of sleep by staying in bed later at the weekends, you could be in better health. What’s even better than a lie-in at the weekend,though,is not needing one. If you can increase the duration and quality of your sleep during the week thus upping your overall average and reducing the need to sleep extra hours at the weekend,that’s likely to promise even more positive effects for your mental and physical well-being It’s still recommended that you get between seven and nine hours of sleep a night somake that your aim rather than pretending a lie-in erases all the damage from late nights every other day.8．What do the first 2 paragraphs mainly tell us?A．The type of staying late in bed is commonly encouraged.B．Yoga and museums trips are fashionable morning relaxation.C．An extra 2 hours’ rest could be beneficial to your mental health.D．Sleeping late for over 2 hours could cut the risk of depression in half9．What can replace the underlined words “caught up on” in bold?A．Ran after.B．Reached for.C．Made up for.D．Was lacking in.10．Why does the author use three figures in paragraph 3?A．To introduce a topic.B．To support a conclusion.C．To explain a phenomenon.D．To provide some examples.11．What is viewed as healthy style according to the Sweden study?A．Sleeping for more than nine hours per night...B．Increasing average sleeping duration per night.C．Staying late and sleep extra hours at the weekendsD．Sufficient sleep duration and quality during the weekdays.Every machine and power station, even renewable energy like wind and solar, creates waste heat that is simply lost in the atmosphere. Thankfully, scientists and engineers are devoted to collecting heat and transforming it into useful electricity. Now researchers at Penn State University have created a flexible thermoelectrie (热电的)generator that wraps around hot water or exhaust(排气)pipes, turning heat into electricity.Flexible devices are more efficient because they attach to pipes in factories or on vehicles without having to be glued on like rigid devices.Then the thermoelectric materials turn temperature differences between the surface fixed to the pipe and the cooler outer surface into electric current -called the Seebeck effectThermophotovoltaic(热光伏的)devices are another promising way to use this waste heat. University of Michigan engineers have created a precisely machined thermophotovoltaic cell that could be used to generate electricity from extra renewable power. The cells would use heat and turn it into electricity on demand, in a form that is much cheaper than batteries, sayits creators.One of the factors crucial to any device’s thermoelectric efficiency is its material. If higher electrical energy can be created with smaller temperature differences, then the materials are said to have a high ZT value. Using a special material scientists have doubled the previous best. The random distribution of atoms in their material slows down the way heat passes through it, making the thermoelectric effect last longer, able to power sensors and small computer processors. Low temperature generation includes computers and cars, making pyroelectrics(热电体)particularly useful for squeezing more energy out of electronic systems.Another relative advantage is inexpensive materials. More abundant elements like tin is cheap and abundant, with high ZTvalues when combined in the right way. Their use could lead to greener car engines.And when it comes to personal electronics, thermoelectries could eventually beat traditional charging hardware. Chinese researchers have built a wristband that gathers body heat to power a LED and may be able to power smartwatches or other mobile devices in the future.12．What is the thermoelectric generator used for?A．Reducing the air pollution.B．Introducing an ecological energy.C．Controlling the exhaust emission.D．Converting waste heat into electrical energy13．Why does the author mention the Seebeck effect in paragraph 2?A．To illustrate a point.B．To clarify a concept.C．To show a connection D．To make a comparison.14．What factor determines any device’s thermoelectric efficiency?A．Its high ZT value.B．Its renewable power.C．Its temperature.D．Its electronic systems.15．Which potential application of thermoelectric technology is mentioned?A．To reduce waste heat.B．To make LED．C．To charge smartwatches.D．To start vehicles二、七选五Developing an optimistic outlook can be good for both your physical and mental health. Here are some ways to make thinking positive thoughts easy.●Spend time with positive peopleIf you surround yourself with constant complainers, their negativity is likely to rub off on you. Spend time with positive friends and family members to increase the likelihood that their positive thinking habits will become yours too.___16___●Recognize and replace negative thoughtsYou won’t be successful at positive thinking, if you’re still stuck in frequent negative thoughts.___17___If you find yourself thinking something such as, “I always mess everything up”, replace it with something more realistic such as, “Sometimes I make mistakes but I learn from them.”●Consider the consequences of negativitySpend some time thinking about the consequences of negative thinking.___18___ For example, a person who thinks, “I probably won’t get this job interview,” may put less effort into the interview. As a result, he may decrease his chances of getting the job.●Create a daily gratitude listIf you start keeping a daily gratitude list, you’ll start noticing exactly how much you have to be thankful for.___19___ And you focus on the positive in your life instead of thinking about all the bad things that have happened in the day.●Look for silver liningWhen something bad happens, look for the silver lining. ___20___ While it may be difficult to find good in a tough situation, it is always there if you look hard enough.

Paul, professor for health at Skidmore, led the study.“We had the groups divided into evening and morning groups,” he says. “We found women and men answered differently to different types of exercise depending on the time of the day, which surprised us.”The study showed that for women who want to lower blood pressure (血压), the risk of heart disease or reduce fat, morning exercise works best. Those women hoping for upper body muscle (肌肉) gains or mood (心情) improvement should consider evening exercise. For the men, the findings were somewhat different: Evening exercise lowers blood pressure, the risk of heart disease, and feelings of tiredness. But similar to women, they burn more fat with morning exercise.“For many people, the best time to exercise will depend on their chronotype,” says Heisz, author of Move the Body, Heal the Mind.“Chronotype is your body’s natural habit to sleep at a certain time—it’s what decides whether you’re a night owl or an early bird. For the 25% of the population that considers themselves a night owl, getting both enough sleep and enough exercise can be difficult,” adds Heisz.He continues, “Sleep—which provides your body the necessary time to recover (恢复) and make gains from exercise—should always be the first choice. When it comes to exercise, regardless of research on the advantages of certain exercises at particular times of the day, your results will not be good if it doesn’t allow enough time for sleep.”12、What can women get by doing evening exercise according to the study?A.

[模拟] 翻译三级笔译实务模拟28Section ⅠEnglish Chinese Translation Translate the following two passages into Chinese .第1题：A recent study in the United States reports that the family life, education and health of America's children are generally improving, though child poverty has risen for the first time in a decade, according to the government's broadest measure of children's well-being.The report shows that the teenage birth rate is down, young people are less likely to be involved in violent crimes and the death rate for this group has declined.Experts say that teenagers who give birth are less likely to finish high school or to graduate from college than other girls of their age. Also, infants born to teenage mothers are more likely to be of low birth weight, which increases their chances of blindness, deafness, mental retardation, mental illness and cerebral palsy.The study shows that young people were less likely to be victimized in a serious violent crime -- murder, rape, robbery or aggravated assault -- or to commit one. In 2002, there were 11 serious violent crimes per 1,000 people aged 12 to 17, compared with 15 per 1,000 youths in 2001.Child mortality declined, too. In 2000, there were 18 deaths for every 100,000 children aged 5 to 14; a year later, there were 17 deaths for every 100,000 children in this age group. The infant mortality rate slightly increased. Seven of every 1,000 infants died before their first birthday in 2002, compared with a record low of 6.8 per. 1,000 in 2001.Still, children are more likely to be overweight than they were before and child poverty has inched up after several years of decline.The number of overweight children increased to 16 percent between 1999 and 2000, compared with from 11 percent in the early 1990s and 6 percent in the late 1970s.That development "jeopardizes our children's future, making them vulnerable to chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension previously associated more with adults than with children," said Edward J. Sondik, director of the Center for Disease Control's National Center for Health Statistics.The report said Mexican-American boys were at the highest risk, with 27 percent overweight followed by non-Hispanic girls at 23percent.The child obesity issue is a major cause for concern, a health expert said to reporters."This is a trend that's been at work since 1980 ... and as a trend,it shows no sign of reversing," the expert said.Child poverty also grew, reaching 11. 6 million in 2002, compared with 11. 2 million a year earlier. Children living with single females continued to experience a higher poverty rate in 2002 than their counterparts in married-couple families -- 40 percent compared with 9 percent.In 2002, 73 million children under 18 lived in the United States and made up 25 percent of the population.__________参考答案：据美国一项最新研究报告说，按照美国政府关于少年儿童福利的最低标准，尽管少年儿童贫困率在近十年里首次出现上升势头，但是美国少年儿童的家庭生活、教育以及健康状况普遍得到了改善。

DEVELOPMENT REPORT - Simple, Low-Cost Ways to Cut the Risk of an Early
Birth
Broadcast date: 10-26-2009 / Written by June Simms
From http://www.unsv.com/voanews/specialenglish/
This is the VOA Special English Development Report.
We talked last week about a new report on preterm births -- the
leading cause of death in newborn babies worldwide. Each year an
estimated thirteen million babies are born too soon. More than one
million of them die as a result of their prematurity. Yet experts say
many early births can be prevented.
The report came from the March of Dimes and the World Health
Organization. Christopher Howson is the vice president for global
programs at the March of Dimes, a nonprofit group. He says there
are a number of simple, low-cost interventions that can improve the
chances of a full-term birth.
CHRISTOPHER HOWSON: "We should treat malnutrition in women
both before and doing pregnancy. We should treat infections that increase risk. We should monitor
pregnancies carefully for signs of trouble. And should that baby be born preterm, we should care for
that baby by providing a package of interventions that have been shown to be tried and true and
very effective."
For example, there are programs in Africa that teach the skin-to-skin method, also known as
kangaroo care. Mothers learn to carry preterm babies in front instead the traditional African way of
carrying a baby, on the mother's back. Skin-to-skin helps keep a preterm baby warm. The direct
contact also makes it easier for the baby to breastfeed.
Most preterm births take place in Africa and Asia. But rates in the United States have increased by
more than one-third in the last twenty-five years. This is largely the result of more births in older
women and more use of fertility treatments.
Alan Fleischman is the medical director of the March of Dimes. He was among a group of medical
experts who met in Washington, D.C., earlier this month. The group met to develop a quality
improvement plan for dealing with the problem in the United States. Doctor Fleischman says there is
concern especially about rising numbers of what are known as late preterm births.
ALAN FLEISCHMAN: "Those are the babies who are born between thirty-four and thirty-seven weeks
gestation. Those are the fastest increasing numbers of prematures. In fact, they are responsible for
seventy-two percent of all prematures in America."
The rise of these births may be linked to increased use of drugs to start or speed up labor and more
births by Cesarean section. Doctor Fleischman says the group strongly advises against these
interventions before thirty-nine weeks unless medically necessary.
The experts also say doctors need to work with pregnant women to do a better job of estimating
exactly when a pregnancy began.
