Recently，as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team，I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him. His team was facing adversity（逆境）on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment-it was the opponent's home gym filled with their supporters，and Nathan's team was trailing（落后）for three quarters of the game. As for me，I had been dismissed from my job earlier in the day.
During my drive home，I kept telling myself that I will find work again in a short time-I am confident in my experience and abilities. This is the same belief that I tried to instill in my son.
The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan's team still trailing. I saw the determination on his，as well as his teammates'faces as they fought back to not only tie the game（平局），but then go ahead by three points. Then，a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again. With a tie game and seconds on the clock，Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence，he proceeded to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul（犯规）.
As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points，I saw the focus and determination on his face，there was no room for self doubt. Nathan was able to turn out all the distractions and nail the free throw with such skill，it was as if he had done it a thousand times.
As I sat there，my heart bursting with pride，it dawned on me. I had taught him perseverance in the face of adversity，and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He will play in the finals，but it doesn't matter if he wins or loses，at this moment，we both won.

For several months, Cara has been working up the courage to approach her mom about what she saw on Instagram. Not long ago, the 11-year-old girl discovered that her mom had been posting her photos for much of her life. “I’ve wanted to bring it up. It’s strange to see myself up there, and sometimes there are pictures I don’t like of myself,” she said.
Like most other modern kids, Cara grew up under the influence of social media. Facebook, Twiter and YouTube were all founded before she was born. Instagram has been around since she was a toddler (学步儿童). While many kids may not yet have accounts themselves, their parents, schools, sports teams have been organizing an online presence for them since birth. It is a shock to know that details about their lives have been shared online without their permission or knowledge. And this has become a common experience for many teenagers.
Recently a parenting blogger (博主)said that despite her 14-year-old daughter’s horror at discovering that her mother had shared years of highly personal stories and information about her online, she simply could not stop doing it.
But it’s not just crazy mommy bloggers who share their children’s information on social media. Plenty of average parents do the same. There’s even a special word for it: sharenting (晒娃). Almost a quarter of children begin their digital lives when parents upload their prenatal sonogram scans (产前超声波扫描) to the Internet, according to a study conducted by the Internet-security firm A VG. The study also found that 92 percent of kids under the age of 2
3
already have their own unique digital identity.
8. How does Cara feel about her mom’s behavior?
A. It’s supportive.
B. It’s appropriate.
C. It’s annoying.
D. It’s favorable.
9. Who is most likely to share children’s information?
A. A quarter of students.
B. Some crazy doctors.
C. Kids under the age of 2.
D. Many ordinary parents.
10. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Fathers don’t like to share their kids’ information on social media.
B. 25% of children begin their digital lives before they are born.
C. The word “sharenting” can be found 10 years ago.
D. A VG is the name of an internet company.
11. What can be a suitable title for the article?
A. Growing up on the Internet
B. A New Term Born
C. Parents Addicted to Blogging
D. The Children’s Horror

Some cities and lawmakers are resisting crime-fighting tech owing to bias (偏见) and accuracy concerns. Police departments around the U.S. are asking citizens to trust them to use facial recognition software as a handy tool in their crime-fighting toolbox. But some lawmakers — and even some technology giants — are against it.
Take the western Massachusetts city of Springfield, where many residents are Latino or black. Springfield police say they have no plans to use facial recognition systems, but some City Council members are moving to block any future government use of the technology anyway.
At an October hearing on the subject, Springfield City Councilman, Orlando Ramos, defended the technology. “The facial recognition technology does not drop a net from the sky and put you to prison,” he said, noting that it could serve as a useful investigative tool. However, he doesn’t want to take any risks. “It would only lead to more racial discrimination.” he said, citing studies that found higher error rates for facial recognition software used to identify women and people with darker skins.
Similar debates across the country are highlighting racial issues and concerns about the technology’s accuracy. Axon, which supplies body-worn cameras nationwide, had already formed an artificial intelligence ethics board (伦理委员会)that concluded facial recognition technology isn’t yet dependable enough to justify its use on police cameras. Axon Chief Executive Rick Smith said, “Even if facial recognition software was perfectly accurate, the
ability to track people raises privacy concerns. “Do we want everybody who walks near a police officer to get their face identified and logged in a database?” he said.
Nevertheless, Todd Pastorini, general manager at biometric forensics (生物取证) company DataWorks Plus, said it’s the “extremely effective” method of running images through photos to help identify a suspect. “Society and the public are going to get frustrated, if governments refuse to adopt a technology that keeps improving”, he said. In his eyes, facial recognition hits are just one part of an investigation.
12. What is Orlando Ramos’ attitude towards facial recognition?
A. Hopeful.
B. Cautious.
C. Ambiguous.
D. Tolerant.
13. What is one focus of the debates about facial recognition?
A. Gender discrimination.
B. Speed limit.
C. Accuracy rate.
D. Steadiness control.
14. What does Rick Smith think of facial recognition?
A. It appears to cause prejudice.
B. It brings about privacy concerns.
C. Its technology is reliable.
D. Its accuracy needs improving.
15. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Facial recognition tool meets with resistance.
B. All the people disapprove of facial recognition.
C. Facial recognition is the only tool of investigation.
D. Governments should ban facial recognition.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Our society is becoming increasingly overweight. 16. Similar to humans, overweight pets have a much higher risk of health problems. Dr. Katrina Warren shares her expert advice on the issues, causes and treatments for overweight pets.
Recent estimates suggest over a third of overweight pets are suffering from health problems. Diabetes (糖尿病) and diseases related to heart top the list of weight-related disease. To put it simply, weight issues occur when pets consume more kilojoules (千焦) than they use. Owners are a key part of the problem. 17.
18. Working out regularly helps keep pets in shape. As pets no longer need to hunt for their food, they typically enjoy a comfortable lifestyle, lazing around indoors, thus gaining weight easily. What’s more, food should always be adjusted to a pet’s energy requirements. 19. They assume the pet will control its own intake. So it’s easy to fall into the trap of feeding your pet whenever it begs for food.
5
Fortunately, there are plenty of diet and lifestyle changes to help your pets maintain a healthy weight. For example, pets will benefit from more exercise in their daily life, like eating food. Don’t put food in their bowls. 20. Meanwhile, you can also consult experts about guidance for a healthy diet.
Anyway, provide them with an appropriate diet and proper amounts of exercise, and you may have healthy pets.
A. They’re related to the diet.
B. So are our lovely friends — pets.
C. Another contributing factor is lack of exercise.
D. Try encouraging the pets to exercise step by step.
E. Yet many owners provide constant access to food.
F. They ultimately decide what and how much the pets eat.
G. Rather, spread some food around your house so your pets must find it.

2019-2020学年度第一学期高二英语周练试卷(含答案)
2019-2020学年度第一学期高二英语周练试卷 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride, and half the time they’ll say, “Sorry, my car is full.” But with Twitter, you just tweet #Ashleys Pool Party and look for other people heading the same way. It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter. For me, I only rideshare with people I know, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern. The sharing economy got big during the recession（经济衰退）. It allows people to access more goods and services using technology, while also allowing them to share cost. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom. According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license. Today it’s six in ten. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license. All I wanted was an iPhone. Juliet Schor (Sociology professor at Boston College) knows people of my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus. To me, another plus is ridesharing represents something more than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter. 21 The writer usually rideshares with _____. A. anyone heading the same way B. people he knows

This even was started by Jennifer Barlow of Midlothian, Virginia in 2003, and it is becoming more popular each year. It has been supported by the International Dark-Sky Association, the American Astronomical Society, and the Astronomical League. This even always occurs in April, during the week of the new moon so that the sky can be as dark as possible for the best viewing conditions. “It is my wish that people could see the night sky without other light in the sky as our ancestors (祖先) saw it hundreds of years ago,” explains Barlow. Since it only lasts a week and not everyone in the country will take part in it, how will the National Dark-Sky Week reduce light pollution? The main goal of NDSW is to increase awareness (意识) of the harmful effects of light pollution. It is not possible for all of the light pollution in this part of the world to disappear. However, it is possible to make a small difference in the quality of the night sky. Another goal of this even is to promote (促进) the use of better lighting systems that direct light toward the ground instead of up into the sky. Jennifer Barlow states, “The night sky is a gift of such beauty that it should not be polluted by wasted light. In this way, our children will not lose touch with the wonder of our universe.” 11. This passage is mainly about ______________. A. better lighting systems B. the beauty of the night sky C. the harm of light pollution D. the National Dark-Sky Week 12. Which of the following statements about the National Dark-Sky Week is WRONG? A. It is becoming more and more popular in America. B. The event was started in 2003 by Jennifer Barlow. C. The event takes place in the first week of every April. D. American people are supposed to turn off their lights during that week. 13. What is Jennifer Barlow’s wish? A. That light would be directed up into the sky. B. That the sky would always be as dark as possible. C. That people could see the night sky without light pollution as our ancestors did. D. That people could spend time enjoying the beauty of the sky every night. 14. We can infer from the underlined（划线的）sentence in Paragraph 4 that ____________. A. many people in America hate this event B. it may be hard to reduce light pollution C. the event should last a month every year D. light will no longer pollute the sky soon 15. What is the main goal of the National Dark-Sky Week? A. To promote the use of better lighting systems. B. To help people realize the harm of light pollution. C. To cause all the light pollution in America to disappear. D. To help young children enjoy the wonder of our universe. 第三部分．完形填空（每题1.5分，共30分） “Mum, I want to make you a bet,” I said. “If I go a whole year without TV, will you give me a hundred dollars?” “Well, if you can ___16___do it, …” “Of course I can,” I replied, ___17___to convince myself. ___18___, all this started from my ___19___of a picture in the newspaper.

2017-2018学年高二年级周练二英语试卷
江西省安义中学2017-2018学年度上学期高二英语第二次周练试卷 第一节阅读理解 Life is not easy in senior high school. You’ve got the pressure of studies and exams. From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated. When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it. One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found. Salt acts as a natural anti—depressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say. While too much can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) d epressions”, a study has reported. The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the US, discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they don’t do activities they normally enjoy. The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much. However, most adults in the developed world consume（消耗）around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts. Today, 77 percent of US salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food. The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells. But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure. Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substance—almost like a drug. One s ign of addiction is using a substance even when it’s known to be harmful. Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low-salt foods tasteless. Humans have a long histor y of eating salt. In the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat. Then they had to find another way to get salt. 1. What does the underlined word "deficient" in the third paragraph mean? A. enough B. far from enough C. more than enough D. plenty 2. The major role of salt is to ____________. A. help the body work well B. help fight against depression C. help people get rid of an addiction to drugs D. help people enjoy sugary substances 3. Which of the following statements is true? A. People have trouble reducing salt because they don't know it is harmful to eat too much of it. B. Before 10,000 BC, human beings did not need salt. C. The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there. D. Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adult's health. 4. What kind of food should people eat more of? A. Frozen food B. Fast food C. Red meat D Low--salt food 第二节：七选五 Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes(刻板印象) or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail? At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒)．__5__ Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green－eyed monster” and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money.__6__ Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others— but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this. __7__. But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe.
