"My teacher said we should 26 our parents that we love them and sees what they say. It’s 27”. The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this "experiment" and how the other parents had 28 . "Most of the fathers had the 29 reacting as you did," the teacher said.

What I' m trying to tell the children is that it's too 34 we don' t all express those feeling. A boy should be 35 to tell his dad he loves him."

Actually, I was unwilling to listen to his talking endlessly as he always did. My father was a lawyer, but I never wanted to go to law school or follow his path through life.As was expected, he cleared his throat and started to say, ”Er…What…What do you really want to do in the gorgeous future?“I was silent for a moment playing with the cell phone. I kept thinking, ”Should I tell him my true thoughts? What if he gets angry? What if I let him down?” Later I replied, “Well, I want to be a writer.”I guessed this may not be the answer he would expect. But surprisingly, “Interesting idea!” he answered. I was shocked, speaking in a low voice with hesitation.“Are you serious, dad?”“Well, you need confidence and good preparations, and you still have plenty of time. You need to find out what you really enjoy now. Look, it’s late. Let’s take the boat out tomorrow morning, just you and me. Maybe we cancatch some crabs for dinner, and we can talk more.”Early next morning we packed up the equipment and set off for the coast. We didn’t talk much, but enjoyed the sound of the seabirds and the sight of the coastline.There were no big waves and blinding sunlight at that time. “Let’s see if we are lucky,” he said, picked up a web basket with a rope tied and threw it into the sea. We waited a while, then my father stood up and said, “Give me a hand with this,” and we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck.To our joy, the cage was filled with dozens of soft-shell crabs. Squatting(蹲)down, we watched them for a moment. At first, they fought against each other to climb out hard, trying to escape. Many were pulled back into the cage. Later, some gave up, but there were still some crabs trying to escape again and again.At that moment my father pointed to the cage, ”Look at that crab, there!“ Staring at the crab, I found that every time he wanted to escape, he was pulled back into the cage. However, he didn’t give up his fight. Fortunately, he survived from the struggle eventually. Shocked and amazed, I suddenly understood why my father had suggested catching crabs that morning. I thought the future would be filled with many possibilities. Everyone would need to find out what he enjoyed and held on to it.46. How did the author initially feel about having a conversation with his father?A. Enthusiastic and eager to share.B. Concerned and reluctant.C. Neutral with no particular feeling.D. Excited about the upcoming adventure.47. During the crabbing expedition, what observation did the author make that influenced his perspective on life and the future?A. That crabs worked together to escape.B. Some crabs gave up trying to escape.C. One crab persistently tried to escape despite being pulled back.D. Crabs fought among themselves for dominance.48. Which statement reflects the author’s new understanding of the future and demonstrates that he comprehended his father’s intention?A. I found that every time he wanted to escape, he was pulled back into the cage.B. I suddenly understood why my father had suggested catching crabs that morning.C. I thought the future would be filled with many possibilities.D. Everyone would need to find out what he enjoyed and held on to it.49. The best title for this passage is_____________.A. A Morning Adventure: Crabbing with DadB. Lessons from the Sea: A Father-Son Bonding ExperienceC. The Art of Crabbing: A Guide for BeginnersD. Father and Son: Deeper Understanding Through a Shared Activity(B)SECRETS YOURMENU WON’T TELLHave you ever entered a restaurant wantinga salad, only to end up ordering the steak?Chances are, the owners had a hand in thatresult.

A guidebook on cooking.(C)Recent years have seen a small increase in unemployment rates due to slowing of the economy. The fact that many college graduates are finding it difficult to land a job has sparked online discussions on the cost of education and the returns on it, with many agreeing with the notion that “education is useless”.Stories like a person with a doctorate’s degree from Zhejiang University is delivering food, and overseas-returned graduates are selling hot-pot ingredients have caused many to question the value of education. Moreover, the fact that about 36,000 fewer candidates have applied to take the postgraduate exam in 2024, the first decline in numbers in years, has also fueled the “education is useless theory.Is education truly worthless? This question has resurfaced due to several factors.The wide spread of higher education has significantly increased the number of college graduates, reducing the value of college degrees. As the job market becomes over-crowded with graduates, the scarcity of high-level talents has become apparent, particularly in fields such as the humanities. For example, more than 900 institutions in China offer English major, making it the most common degree program, yet there’s a shortage of top talents who are proficient in English and have a good knowledge about the differences in Chinese and foreign approach to fields such as international relations and journalism.The declining returns on the investment in education have given rise to the “education is useless” theory. Given the challenging job market, many believe college education does not guarantee any sort of employment, let alone a suitable job. And with various economic opportunities available, the notion that one can become financiallysuccessful even without formal education is becoming increasingly acceptable.In light of these developments combined efforts need to be made to change the situation. For instance, universities must take measures to integrate education, research and industry, while enhancing cooperation with enterprises through tailored talent training programs. Additionally, the authorities need to pay greater attention to vocational education, an important part of China’s educational system. Students, parents and society, on their part, should abandon their bias against vocational training, because it integrates education with career prospects throughout the learning process, offering targeted, technical and practical training which allows students to master their skills which can get them well-paying jobs in the future.Developing a correct view of employment and career choice is key to abandoning the notion of “education being useless”. People, especially students, must understand the current employment landscape, their positioning, and strengths and weaknesses. While realizing that a college degree is no longer a ticket to employment, college students should leverage education resources to enrich their professional knowledge and competitiveness. And youths should approach vocational education with an open mind in order to make the most of what the job market has to offer.Education is not synonymous with earning money, nor does a college degree guarantee financial success. The value of education is knowledge, which we need to make informed decisions not only in our professional life but also in our social and other fields of life.53. What are the main reasons for the recent rise in the belief that ”education is useless”?A. Economic slowdown and job scarcity.B. Sad stories about educated individuals.C. Decline in postgraduate exam applicants.D. Emphasis on practical skills over qualifications.54. How can universities contribute to improving the current situation?A. By focusing solely on academic research.B. By integrating education, research, and industry.C. By ignoring cooperation with enterprises.D By eliminating vocational education courses.55. The underlined word leverage in paragraph 7 can be best replaced by___________.A. limitB. abandonC. balanceD. maximize56. What is the author’s attitude towards the development of vocational education?A. Negative and pessimisticB. Positive and supportive,.C. Balanced and objectiveD. Unclear and ambiguousIV.

福建省福州第三中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷(含答案)
福建省福州第三中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Even if you're in the market for a new smartphone，your older one needn't go to landfill （垃圾场）.Is your older smartphone or tablet now lacking the ability to meet your daily demands？If so，don't throw away just yet—it could still easeful for jobs that require a little less processing power.Smartphones and tablets can enjoy a second life as a universal remote control for smart devices and their various apps around the home. You can also use them to play music and video from streaming services，to cast to compatible devices，or as a home server.Why not attach an old iPad to the wall to use as a digital calendar or family planner？Or save a huge amount of money on baby monitors by fixing a phone or tablet with a monitoring app above the bassinet（婴儿摇篮）instead？If you can't repurpose your old smartphone， recycle it instead.Smartphones are full of recyclable materials including rare and valuable metals such as gold， silver ， platinum and copper— 99%of these can be reused if you recycle your phone correctly.They may end up in new tech products or enjoy a new life as something entirely different.For example，the plastic in mobile phone casing can be processed into pellets（小球）and used for products such as.pallets（托盘）.Not only does this mean producing less plastic，but it cuts down on the energy needed to make new plastics.Some people are understandably unwilling to recycle their phones because they worry about losing their personal data，or that it'll end up in the wrong hands.But，by following some simple steps、you can wipe your data before you recycle it.1、Y our older smartphone or tablet can be reused for many jobs exceptA.working as a digital calendarB.monitoring babiesC.processing complex dataD.playing streaming video2、How can you recycle your older smartphone？A. Reuse the metals in it to develop new products.B.Fix it with a monitoring app.C.Break it down with certain chemicals.D.Transform it to a new one.3、What may the passage talk about next？A. Why people are unwilling to recycle their phones.B. Measures to recycle your older smartphone.C.Importance of protecting your personal data.D.Give suggestions to remove your data on the phone."Sunshine might be healthier than most people think, outweighing the risk of skin cancer", British doctors suggested last week. The four researchers at Bristol University were accused of weakening years of campaigning to warn people of the dangers of too much sun. Experts agree exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays increases the risk of skin cancer and accelerates the signs of aging. But in the British Medical Journal the Bristol team led by Andrew Ness wrote, "There is evidence that the potential benefits of exposure to sunlight may outweigh the widely publicized negative effects on the incidence of skin cancer."Vitamin D, made in the body in reaction to sunlight, prevented rickets(软骨病) in children and was associated with a protective effect against heart disease.Sunshine was also useful for treating certain skin conditions and there was also the "feel good effect of lying or sitting in the sun". The researchers said it was too early to advise people to spend more time in the sun, but suggested the basis of the current advice to cover up should be reviewed."Perhaps, while we await the conclusions of such formal analyses, those of us who enjoy spending time in the sun can rest assured that the chance that we will be one of the people dying from the sun small." they added.Their article was strongly criticized by health campaigners who claimed it was unbalanced and not backed by scientific evidence. Britain's Health Education Authority said skin cancer was the most common form of cancer in the country, with more than 50, 000 new cases diagnosed each year and more than 2,000 people dying from the disease. It said treatment almost always required surgery and almost 50 percent of cases were fatal. The authority's skin cancer campaign manager Christopher New said, "We are very disappointed with this controversial article. It doesn't have enough supporting evidence and runs the risk undoing many years of "good health education".4、What can we learn about the four researchers in the first paragraph?A. They were accused of warning people of the danger of too much sunB. They agreed exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays accelerated people's aging.C. They publicized the negative effect of the sun on the incidence of skin cancerD. They believed being exposed to sunlight might be beneficial to people's health.5、What will the Bristol team support?A. Children should cover up in the sunlight.B. Sunshine helps to treat some skin conditions.C. Those enjoying the sun are free of skin cancer.D. People should currently spend more time in the sun6、What does the "good health education" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Warning people of the danger of too much sunlight.B. Informing people of the benefits of exposure to sunlight.C. Convincing people of the effect of sun on skin conditionsD. Reminding people of the good feeling of lying or sitting in the sun.7、What is the main idea of this passage?A. More people are dying from skin cancer.B. Sunshine does more harm than good to skin.C. Sunshine can prevent heart disease in childrenD. A study found sunshine has lots of benefitsDo you get your best ideas when you are bored，or when you are out doing new things？ What should we look for when we want to be more creative？Boredom（枯燥）and stimulus（刺激物）may be opposites，but studies into creativity suggest that actually we might need both.Writing for BBC Culture，Clair Thorp looks at the role that boredom plays in the creative process.Many writers and artists credit being bored with helping them have their best ideas — JK Rowling came up with Harry Potter while on a long train journey.Thorp tells us how some researchers believe that boredom drives our brains to find something to do —leading to creative ideas.So， maybe we should take the advice of the musician Quest love and learn to ignore the distractions that we can find on our phones.However，before we all start planning how to bore ourselves into creativity，Sandi Mann， an academic and author，warns that too much boredom can take away the energy we need for creativity.Many experts talk about the importance of finding new experiences inorder to be more creative.Actor and writer Kayode Ewumi recommends getting on a random bus and seeing where you end up or learning a new musical instrument as ways to avoid writer's block.Professor Gerard Puccio，a professor of creativity studies，believes that having to look at new things，or old things in a different light，can force us to make unusual connections and come up with innovative solutions.So perhaps what we need is a balance enough stimulus to make us look at things in different ways ，and enough boredom to give us the breathing space to work through these thoughts.8、Which statement will Questlove agree with？A. Musicians tend to feel bored with their careers.B.Online information is the source of inspiration.C.New experiences invite more different ideas.D.Boredom can promote creative ideas.9、According to Sandi Mann，what could be the problem with having too much boredom？A. Not having enough energy to be creative.B. Failing to gain inspiration from others.C. Being stuck.in old things.D.Losing.interest in creative work.10、Which might be the best way to become more creative？A. Thinking independently all the time.B. Making use of materials at hand.C.Balancing boredom and new experiences.D.Looking for stimulus here and there.11、How does the author explain the point in the text？A. By making comparisons.B.By quoting famous people's views.C. 'By conducting a study.D. By relating to different cultures.We've known for years that plants can see，hear，smell and communicate with chemicals．Now，reported New Scientist，they have been recorded making sounds when stressed．In a yet to be published study，Itzhak Khait and his team at Tel Aviv University，inIsrael，found that tomato and tobacco plants can make ultrasonic（超声的）noises．The plants "cry out" due to lack of water，or when their stems（茎）are cut．It's just too high﹣pitched（音调高的）for humans to hear．Microphones placed 10 centimeters away from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of20to100kilohertz（千赫兹）．Human hearing usually ranges from20 hertz to 20 kilohertz． "These findings can alter the way we think about the plant kingdom，"they wrote．On average， "thirsty" tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour，while tobacco plants made 11．When plant stems were cut，tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour，and tobacco plants 15．Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour，on average．Perhaps most interestingly ， different types of stress led to different sounds ． The researchers trained a machine﹣learning model to separate the plants' sounds from those of the wind，rain and other noises of the greenhouse．In most cases，it correctly identified whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut，based on a sound's intensity and frequency．Water﹣ hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco，for example．Although Khait and his colleagues only looked at tomato and tobacco plants，they think other plants also make sounds when stressed．If farmers could hear these sounds，said the team，they could give water to the plants that need it most．As climate change causes more droughts，they said this would be important information for farmers． "The sounds that drought﹣stressed plants make could be used in precision agriculture（精准农业）， " said Anne Visscher at the Royal Botanic Gardens，Kew， in the UK．Khait's report also suggests that insects and mammals can hear the sounds up to 5 meters away and respond．For example，a moth（蛾子）may decide not to lay eggs on a water ﹣stressed plant．Edward Farmer，at the University of Lausanne，Switzerland，isIf plants are screaming for fear of their survival ，should we be thankful we can't hear them？12、What did Khait and his team find from their research？A. Plants made low﹣pitched sounds when in danger．B. Plants were able to produce sounds in response to stresses．C. Plants picked up a wider range of sounds when stressed．D. Plants made ultrasonic noises to communicate with each other．13、How did tomato and tobacco plants react to different stresses according to the text？A．A plant reacted to different stresses with the same sound．B. Cut tomato plants produced more sounds per hour than water﹣hungry ones．C. Cut tobacco plants seemed to make weaker sounds than drought﹣stressed ones．D. Tobacco plants might make louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water．14、What's the main idea of Paragraph 6？A．The potential applications of the research．B．Challenges facing farmers in the future．C．Farmers' contributions to the research．D．What the future agriculture will be like．15、The underlined word "speculative" in the second to last paragraph has the closestA. practicalB. unsuspectedC．unsupportedD．complicated二、七选五16、Nowadays，are you sitting more and more？Take a moment to think about your sitting habits.You're probably sitting while reading this. ①_________Besides，many people still lie on the sofa swiping their phones instead of doing exercise after work.That's undoubtedly a lot of sitting.The fact is that the amount of time spent sitting has increased over time. ②_________People know sitting too much is unsuitable，and most of us naturally feel a little guilty after a long﹣time TV watching.But what problems gradually exist when we seat ourselves for nearly eight hours per day？A study on nearly 8000 adults suggests that there's a direct relationship between the time spent sitting and our risk of early death from any cause.③________"Sit less，move more" is what the Heart Foundation encourages us to do.④________It is like telling people to just "exercise" without telling them how. Exercise guidelines are always more practical. For example，the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends adults do exercise for two hours and 30 minutes every week，plus muscle strengthening exercise two or more days a week. We need similar guidelines for sitting.⑤________One of them is from Diaz's research team. "It would probably be like this：for every 30 continuous minutes of siting， stand up and move or walk for five minutes at a quick pace，" Diaz，the lead researcher，said，adding that the study has put us a step closer to the satisfying guidelines. But more researches are needed to confirm their approaches.A. Now it's time to get up and move around.B. It is quite usual for you to remain seated in a business meeting.C. As the total sitting time increases，so does the danger of early death.D. But the function of this rule is just too simple and abstract to benefit us a lot.E. The experts suggest that more exercise should be done to reduce sitting time.F. It is reported that many people have spent more than 6 hours sitting or lying.G. Various specific and detailed guidelines have been made to inspire people to reduce sitting time.三、完形填空（15空）When I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010, we were in the fallout of therecession(经济衰退).
