The reason why Keith Limbert learned to drive at his old age was a touching love story, as he was forced to face the lessons for driving a car for his wife. 79-year-old Keith from West Yorkshire put all his efforts into passing the driving test, so that he could take his wife for treatments every day.Even though he had attempted (尝试) driving when he was 25, he couldn’t get through the first two tests. Since then, his loving wife Anne had always driven him around. However, when 58-year-old Anne’s health took a turn for the worse, he had to go back to the driving school again.After Anne had a stroke (中风) in 2015, leaving her in a wheelchair, the couple had to rely on others for their travels. Annoyed with many difficulties, Keith realized that it was time for him to take up learning to drive again. Eventually, it became a necessity when Anne was diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer in late 2016.Unfortunately, his wife’s condition required regular trips to and from hospital and he was Anne’s full-time caregiver. He loved his wife so much that he did his best to pass his driving test on the third attempt. This time, his hard work paid off. Keith passed his driving test at the age of 79, so he could take his poor wife to hospital by himself.Now this loving couple is leading a comfortable life and on most days, he takes himself to the gym and takes his wife for a coffee.“I don’t feel like I am 79 at all,” Keith is happy to keep his youthful spirit with a pleasant smile on his face.4．Why did Keith try his best to get his driving’s license?A．He didn’t want to waste money.B．He could travel to work conveniently.C．He was persuaded by his family to do so.D．He wanted to drive his wife for her treatments.5．What made Keith’s wife sit in a wheelchair?A．That she fell from a high place and injured her legs.B．That she couldn’t move around due to her breast cancer.C．That a blood tube in her brain burst or became blocked.D．That she had a serious traffic accident and became disabled.6．How can we best describe Keith according to the text?A．Optimistic and considerate.B．Hardworking and generous.C．Shy and cautious.D．Stubborn and bad-tempered.7．What can be the subject of the text?A．Old man realizes his dream of owning a car.B．Old man learns to drive for his beloved one.C．Self-help is better than help from others.D．Never too old to learn to drive.Researchers have found a chemical from a kind of worm (蠕虫) can break down one of the most common forms of plastic. The finding could open up new ways to deal with pollution.There have been several studies showing that microorganisms can release enzymes (酶) that cause the plastics to start to break down, but that process may take a long time. The recently-discovered enzymes were found in the saliva (唾液) of the waxworm. They appear to act in only a few hours.Federica Bertocchini is one of the researchers, who is also a beekeeper and always stores honeycombs, which are built by bees to store honey. One year Bertocchini found her honeycombs full of waxworms. She cleaned the honeycombs and put the worms in a plastic bag. When she returned later, she found that the bag was full of holes. She wondered if the worms were eating the plastic, or if there was a chemical reaction that caused the holes. “We checked and found that the plastics had been broken down,” she said.In her latest research, Bertocchini and her co-workers found two enzymes in the worm’s saliva. The enzymes appeared to break down plastics in only a few hours.Bertocchini’s team is still trying to understand how the worms break down the plastics. They know much more research is needed before the findings can be used to process plasticwaste. However, Bertocchini said the enzymes could be put into a water mixture and then put “over piles of collected plastics” in a waste center. She said that, in the future, the enzymes could be used in homes, where families could deal with their own plastic waste.8．What can we learn about the microorganisms in para. 2?A．They are fond of eating small pieces of plastics.B．They are widely used to deal with plastic pollution.C．It takes long for their enzymes to break down plastics.D．They can easily produce a large amount of useful saliva in a short time.9．How did Bertocchini make the discovery?A．By accident.B．By keeping waxworms.C．By doing experiments.D．By studying bees.10．Why were there many holes in Bertocchini’s bag?A．The bees flew to and bit it.B．There was a chemical reaction.C．There were some sharp things in it.D．The worms chewed and swallowed the plastic.11．What does the author think about the new method of breaking down plastics?A．It’s a theoretical possibility, but it won’t happen.B．It may replace the usual ways soon.C．It is getting increasingly popular.D．There is still a long way to go.People of San Francisco and visitors now have a place to learn and study the largely forgotten history of Chinese workers who helped build the US’ first transcontinental (横贯大陆的) railroad.The Chinese Railroad Workers History Center, near the southern entrance of San Francisco’s Chinatown, is expected to serve as a “gathering place” for people to learn about Chinese Americans’ heritage (遗产) in the US, according to the founder, Florence Fang, a Chinese community leader in the Bay Area. “The center’s purpose is to remember the Chinese railroad workers’ contribution to this country. The goal is to give voice to the voiceless, and the spirit is to remember the past and inspire the future,” said Fang.The building of the Transcontinental Railroad, originally known as the Pacific Railroad, was completed on May 10, 1869．It was considered one of the most remarkable engineering achievements of the 19th century. The railroad greatly changed the nation as it not onlyexpanded the American economy but also increased national confidence.The Chinese workers made up more than 80 percent of the railroad workforce. “What is important to remember is the sweat and the tears and sometimes the lives of the Chinese workers who built the most treacherous, difficult part of the Transcontinental Railroad,” said California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, “Now it will go down in history along with so many other unbelievably important contributions of Chinese Americans.”Kounalaki s and other elected officials in the state and the city joined community leaders on Wednesday at the center to commemorate the 154th anniversary of the completion of the railroad and pay tribute (致敬) to the Chinese workers.“This center joins several other institutions in San Francisco, like the Chinese Historical Society and the Chinese Culture Center, to attract visitors and to teach Chinese American history and culture,” said Peskin, president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.“It comes at a critical time for us. It comes as Chinatown and the home of San Francisco have experienced three very difficult years, Chinatown in particular, not only with the economic harm, but with the rise of Asian hate,” he said. “The center will help teach future generations and make San Francisco proud,” said Peskin. “It will help promote the economy of Chinatown.”12．What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A．The inspiration of designing the center.B．The intention of opening the center.C．The process of building the center.D．The cost of building the center. 13．What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “treacherous” in paragraph 4?A．Unimportant.B．Interesting.C．Expensive.D．Dangerous. 14．Why does the center come at a critical time, based on Peskin’s words?A．There is an increasing feeling of dislike for Asians.B．The economy of Chinatown is developing at a faster speed.C．Other institutions such as Chinese history and literature are being damaged.D．Americans in San Francisco begin to appreciate the Chinese workers’ contributions. 15．What is a suitable title for the news report?A．A railroad transforms American history into what it is todayB．Chinese workers help build US’ first transcontinental railroadC．San Francisco has a new center to remember Chinese railroad workersD．People commemorate 154th anniversary of US’ first transcontinental railroad二、七选五Online marketing means advertising and marketing by using the Internet to drive sales of a product or service. The following are four online marketing methods for you to choose from.Write a blog16 . You can give advice on how to write articles and write product review s and posts about upcoming events. Blogs give you more flexibility than other forms of social media like Facebook or Twitter. That’s because you own the content and aren’t bound (约束) by a third party’s rules or restrictions.Create videosVideo is so popular because it’s interesting and allows people to get information and entertainment that’s easy to digest. You can produce creative videos that educate your customers about your products. 17 .Write e-books18 . Price Waterhouse Cooper predicts that income from e-book sales in the United States will grow from $2.31 billion in 2015 to $8.69 billion in 2023. Since the popularity of e-books is increasing so significantly, consider using this type of media to connect with your customers.19Teach a class in your specialty (专长) . You can teach the class in person, or you can offer it online. 20 because you teach it once, then you use it over and over again to connect with your customers. Choices for offering your class online include sending it through e-mail, posting it on your website, or publishing it on an online platform like Udemy.A．Teach an online courseB．You had better not post these things on your blogC．Teaching an online course is more practical and profitableD．Also, promote your videos across several social media channelsE．If you have a business, consider starting a blog as part of your marketing planF．Many students drop out of online courses because of the lack of teaching supportG．E-books can help you build your brand and offer valuable information to your targetaudience三、完形填空Silk Road countries celebrated at a forumI was honored to be invited to the International Forum on the Silk Roads at the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Headquarters in April.Before 21 this event, I didn’t know much about what UNESCO was, except that they had 22 the World Heritage (遗产) List. However, as I did more 23 , I realized that there was so much more about UNESCO than just listing valuable heritage sites around the world.UNESCO was 24 in 1942 in the midst of World WarⅡ. Many European 25 that had been fighting against Nazi Germany came together to 26 ways of rebuilding the 27 system after the war was over. Since then, the organization has expanded (扩大) beyond Europe to include all 28 of the United Nations while keeping to their 29 goal of achieving 30 through the intellectual and moral education of humanity.I had high expectations for this event, which 31 to be an evening of music, dance and a display of arts by three countries along the Silk Road. The performances were indeed excellent. The three musical performances by the Kazakh band, filled with wonderful music and low drum beats, had everyone on the edge of their 32 . I also enjoyed the hanfu fashion show which was the final performance for the evening. The history of hanfu was 33 by models wearing clothes from different Chinese dynasties. They walked onto the stage while the host explained the details of each hanfu style. I found the event to be not only 34 entertaining, but also a great opportunity to explore the 35 of different countries along the Silk Road. UNESCO’s events offer chances to celebrate and appreciate their unique beauty.21．A．introducing B．attending C．reviewing D．recording 22．A．replaced B．decorated C．noticed D．created 23．A．sport B．research C．practice D．shopping 24．A．founded B．bothered C．controlled D．separated 25．A．villages B．libraries C．governments D．banks26．A．turn down B．look for C．turn over D．put down 27．A．industry B．education C．agriculture D．transport 28．A．cities B．companies C．communities D．countries 29．A．original B．unrealistic C．unimportant D．strange 30．A．invention B．convenience C．peace D．honesty 31．A．promised B．agreed C．learned D．dared 32．A．doors B．beds C．tables D．seats 33．A．copied B．written C．displayed D．taught 34．A．extremely B．barely C．likely D．slightly 35．A．regulations B．climates C．resources D．cultures四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
安徽省芜湖市第一中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试卷
安徽省芜湖市第一中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Throughout human history, there is a bottomless well of people who made great contributions so that we can now enjoy a better life. The following are, just four of those great minds.Joseph Lister(1827—1912)English surgeon (外科医生). Lister pioneered the use of antiseptic (防腐的)and antiseptic surgery which greatly improved survival rates from major surgery. For this, he is often referred to as the father of modern surgery as his use of antiseptic greatly increased the kinds of operations that could be carried out.Maximilian Bircher-Benner(1867—1939)Bircher-Benner was a pioneering Swiss physician and nutritionist. He advocated the eating of raw fruit and vegetables and discouraged eating meat and heavily processed foods. Although he was questioned by the scientific establishment, his healthy eating ideas took off and helped create a diet of processed bread, meat and carbs (碳水化合物). The healthy eating trends he established have continued to grow in popularity with more scientific research showing the health benefits of such a diet.Paracelsus(1493—1541)Swiss-German physician and leading health reformer. Paracelsus founded the discipline of toxicology (毒理学)and pioneered the use of chemicals in treating patients. He emphasized practical experience. He was also one of the first doctors to note illness can be psychological in nature.Peter Mansfield(1933—2017)English physicist who with Peter Lauterbur helped to develop magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)which gets doctors to see inside a patient’s body without needing to cut it open. With MRI, doctors can see far more than with x-ray, which is limited to bones. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2003.1．What is Maximilian Bircher-Benner’s contribution?A．He discovered x-ray.B．He set up a healthy eating trend.C．He improved survival rates of operation.D．He did experiments with chemicals to treat diseases.2．Who invented MRI to give doctors more information of a patient’s body?A．Joseph Lister.B．Maximilian Bircher-Benner.C．Paracelsus.D．Peter Mansfield.3．What do the four people have in common?A．They all received Nobel Prize.B．They were all born in Switzerland.C．They all made contributions to treating patients.D．They all helped to make people live a better life.There are human angels that appear in my life for small incidents that leave a lasting memory in my mind. One of them was a durian(榴莲)seller in a local supermarket. I couldn’t even remember how he looked like and I didn’t even know his name.I started part-time work after junior college. I was paid a small sum of $5 an hour ac a part time fashion assistant. Having earned the money the hard way, I definitely learned to treasure every cent.On Father’s Day, I decided to buy some durian for my father. I went to the local supermarket and looked around at the durian seller’s booth(小隔间)to pick a few packets of durian within my limited budget(预算). I focused all my attention on the cheapest range, which cost $5 a packet, equal to one hour of work standing around as a part-time fashion assistant. I wanted to get 3 packets for my family.The durian seller appeared and asked me what I wanted. I told him that I would like to get 3 boxes of $5 durian for my father on this special day. He asked me to consider the more expensive choices. I told him I couldn’t afford them. I was ready to pick 3 boxes of $5 durian. The durian seller told me he would sell the durians to me at a discounted price. He took out his marker, adjusted the price, passed me 3 boxes and wished me well. My mind went blank, as I paid only $15 for 3 boxes of durian originally priced at $8 each. Many years later, I still remember his kindness.4．How did the author earn his money?A．He worked as a tutor.B．He worked as a fashion assistant.C．He worked as a shop assistant.D．He worked as a fashion designer. 5．Why did the author want to buy some durian?A．The durians were sold at a discount.B．The durians were delicious and cheap.C．He was paid that day and had money.D．He bought them for his father on Father’s Day.6．Which of the following can best describe the durian seller?A．Kind.B．Creative.C．Brave.D．Humorous. 7．What is the best title for the text?A．A Valuable Father’s Day GiftB．My First Working ExperienceC．Kindness Received on Father’s DayD．An Unforgettable Shopping ExperienceIt’s OK to run when it’s cold outside. But is it OK to run when you have a cold? Many runners find the activity addictive Running releases endorphins (脑内啡) into the brain, which are responsible for mood changes. The harder you run, the more endorphins released, and the happier you are. Some studies show this endorphin rush allows people to continue running even when injured or sick.And that brings us to the point of this article—why people continue their running even when they’re sick. Most of us curl up in bed with some chicken soup and the remote control when we’re under the weather. But runners often hit the road. Are they helping or hurting themselves by jogging with a cold?The best way to decide whether you should exercise is to employ what doctors call the “neck check”. Feel free to go running if your cold is “above the neck”. Doctors advise against proceeding with your exercise if your sufferings are “below the neck”.Some people think that running in cold temperatures will actually make them sick. But this isn’t really true. You can’t freeze your lungs or windpipe (气管). Your body heats the air you breathe. When the air is particularly cold, you may feel a burning in your chest as you breathe. If that’s the case, try covering your mouth with a scarf or wearing a ski mask. That’ll help heat up the air before you breathe it in.Keep in mind, if you have an infection (感染) in your chest or throat, running outsidecan indeed make things worse. But if you have a simple head cold, it would be fine to take that run, even if it’s cold outside.8．Why do some people still go running even if they are not in good condition?A．They’d like to keep their figures.B．They don’t realize the harm it does.C．They want to feel the pleasure it brings.D．They enjoy the atmosphere of running with others.9．What does the underlined word “proceeding” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Stopping.B．Working.C．Changing.D．Continuing. 10．What is the misunderstanding of running in cold weather?A．It will make people ill.B．It will worsen people’s health.C．It will burn your chest.D．It has nothing to do with people’s illness. 11．What can we learn from the text?A．Running when suffering a cold can be harmful.B．Running in cold weather makes people happier.C．Lying in bed is what we all do when catching a cold.D．Covering your mouth when running in cold weather frees you from a cold.An artificial intelligence system that has recently caught the spotlight for numerous reasons has been asked to produce images of real-life iconic (偶像的) cartoon characters.The artificial intelligence that was requested to produce the images is called Midjourney which is an AI program that is designed to produce images from textual descriptions. The tool recently went into open in July and has since grown in popularity as users are able to enter descriptions of whatever they can think of to produce a completely unique image. Midjourney is extremely impressive, as I have personally used it to generate several wallpaper images for my desktop.The AI system is capable of recognizing specific words such as 4K, real-life, cartoon, high detail and more. Using these words and more, you can write a prompt (提示符) such as: Portrait image of Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty in real life. Taking this principle of being able to request basically whatever you want, one, Midjourney, user decided to create an award-winning image and enter it into an art competition undisclosed (秘密的) of its creation process.Jason Allen, a board game director, spent weeks improving the prompt that he was entering into Midjourney and eventually generated three images that he was happy with.Allen entered the Al-generated images in the Digital Art category at Colorado State Fair under his own name along with “via Midjourney”. Allen won first place and used the opportunity to make a statement about AI art being accepted among the community, saying, “Is it common for artists to explain their process just for the sake of clarification? Are they judging the art or the method by which it was created?”12．What is the text mainly about?A．An AI system is able to draw cartoons.B．An AI system makes pictures all by itself.C．An Al system creates art works instead of artists.D．An AI system produces pictures based on requirements.13．What made Midjourney popular?A．Its style.B．Its function.C．Its shape.D．Its appearance. 14．Why did the author mention Jason Allen in the last two paragraphs?A．To show his great talent in art.B．To explain how Midjourney works.C．To prove Midjourney can do excellent work.D．To appeal to artists to explain their creating process to people.15．Where is the text most likely from?A．A newspaper.B．A travel guide.C．A science fiction.D．A textbook.二、七选五How to Adjust to a New SchoolSchool is a child’s base where they learn to succeed. Adjusting to a new school can be scary. When you go to a new school, you might worry that you don’t know anyone or that you won’t fit in. You worry that you might get lost or if the teachers are strict. 16 Getting to Know the School.Take a tour of your school. 17 Find out where your classroom will be, as well as the cafeteria, auditorium, gym and other important places.Meet your teachers.Meeting your teachers before you start school will help you make a smooth adjustment to the new school. 18 Being friendly with your teachers will help. Find out some key facts about them, such as what subject they teach and their names etc.19Knowing the school’s policies ahead of time will help make it easier to fit in. Get the school handbook. Read through it with your parents so that they can explain policies that might sound confusing to you. If your new school doesn’t have a handbook, read the rules and school diary to get used to what is expected. The school handbook might also have some interesting facts about the school, which can help you get acquainted with its history, the students and the teachers.Know the school year calendar.It will be helpful to know when vacation days are scheduled as well as half-days and special days like field days or carnivals. Mark these dates on a calendar in your room. 20 A．Read the school handbook.B．Take part in after-school activities.C．Introduce yourself to them and smile to them.D．Knowing about your school can make this transition (过渡) easier.E．Before you start the school, go with your parents to visit the school.F．You’ll find that you’re making friends and life is getting easier.G．This will help you expect when you have a short day of school or a day off.三、完形填空This is not the career Abrahms expected when she went off to college.

2023-2024学年安徽省合肥市第一中学高三上学期第一次教学质量检测英语试题
2023-2024学年安徽省合肥市第一中学高三上学期第一次教学质量检测英语试题Generations of creators have improved our lives with everything that touches off our imagination. Here are some of the brilliant inventors.Ellen Swallow Richards (1842 — 1911)After earning a bachelor’s degree from Vassar College in 1870, Richards was accepted as a “special student”at all-male MIT, becoming the first woman in the United States to attend a science school. She conducted a huge survey of water quality in Massachusetts, an effort that led to the first state water-quality standards in US.Gregor Mendel (1822 — 1884)In the mid-1800s, he experimented with pea plants to determine how physical features pass from one generation to the next. The experiments established the basic rules needed to cross-breed (杂交繁殖) plants to create a new variety with desired characteristics.Ray Kroc (1902—1984)As the founder of McDonald’s restaurants, Kroc changed the way Americans eat. In 1954, Kroc w as selling industrial mixers and visited the California restaurant of two of his best customers, Maurice and Richard McDonald. Kroc was impressed by the methods the brothers used to make their hamburgers, cheeseburgers, French fries, and milkshakes.Kroc, an Illinois native, talked the McDonalds into allowing him to create a group of drive-in hamburger restaurants using their methods and name. The first of his restaurants opened in Des Plaines, Illinois, on April 15, 1955.Jane Jacobs (1916—2006)Jacobs w as not a formally trained urban planner and didn’t have a college degree, but her intelligent views on community planning changed the way Americans thought about cities. In her 1961 book, Death and Life of Great American Cities, Jacobs advocated human-friendly neighborhoods featuring short city blocks and mixed-use buildings that encouraged resident interaction. She also strongly opposed high-rise developments and expressways that cut through neighborhoods.1. What did Gregor Mendel do?A．He found a new fast food making method.B．He discovered the basic cross-breeding laws.C．He established the water-quality standards in US.D．He helped to plan human-friendly neighborhoods.2. Who is the founder of McDonald’s restaurants?A．Ray Kroc. B．Jane Jacobs.C．Richard McDonald. D．Maurice McDonald.3. When did Jane Jacobs publish Death and Life of Great American Cities?A．In 2006. B．In 1984. C．In 1961. D．In 1916.On July 11, 2023, scientists selected Crawford Lake in Canada to represent the start of the Anthropocene, a new geological (地质的) time period dominated by human beings instead of the force of nature. The scientists said that sediments (沉积物) at the bottom of the lake clearly show the impact of industrialized humanity on Earth from the 1950s onwards.The Anthropocene Working Group (AWG) was set up in 2009. In 2016, it concluded that human-caused changes to Earth were so great that a new geological time unit was necessary. The AWG then assessed twelve sites across the world as candidates for what geol ogists call a “golden spike”, the place where the sudden and global changes marking the start of the new geological time period are best recorded in Earth. After three rounds of voting, the AWG selected Crawford Lake.“The lake is 24 meters deep but covers only 6 acres,” said Francine McCarthy, a member of the AWG. “It is so special that the bottom waters and surface waters do not mix, except for what gently sinks to the bottom and settles down in sediments. As a result, they allow us to see the changes in Earth history.”The AWG has chosen the plutonium isotopes (钚同位素) from H-bomb tests as the key marker for the Anthropocene, as they were spread globally from 1952 but declined rapidly after the nuclear test ban in the mid-1960s, creating a spike in sediments. There are other important markers in the lake sediments, including CO2 fingerprints produced by the burning of fossil fuels in power plants.“The 1950s saw the start of a sharp increase in industrial, transport and economic activities that have had huge impacts on Earth,” added McCarthy. “But it is the sharp increase in plutonium specifically that we chose as the key marker.”Experts said the decision has social and political importance, as it would draw attention to the role that industrialized humanity plays in shaping Earth. The climate crisis is the most obvious impact of the Anthropocene, but huge losses of wildlife, the spread of foreign species, and the widespread pollution of the planet are also key features.4. Why is Crawford Lake selected as th e “golden spike”?A．It can best show the sudden and global changes in Earth.B．It is close to the testing site of the first nuclear bomb.C．It can completely separate its sediments from the air.D．It is located in one of the most industrialized countries.5. When did the Anthropocene start?A．In 1950. B．In 1952. C．In 2009. D．In 2016.6. What is considered as the key marker for the Anthropocene?A．The climate crisis. B．The losses of wildlife.C．The CO 2 fingerprints. D．The plutonium isotopes.7. What might be the significance of the adoption of the Anthropocene?A．It will play a key role in slowing down industrialization.B．It might help human beings to understand their importance.C．It would raise public awareness of environment protection.D．It can encourage the unity between the public and politicians.This summer, schools in New York City are preparing for a shift in reading instruction. Instead of reading whole books, they plan to focus on excerpts (节选). And it’s not just for lower grades, b ut for high schools as well.While it may sound alarming for the public in New York City, the shift to excerpts has been going on for more than twenty years since the Big Standardized Test was adopted as a means of measuring student achievement in reading.Of course, to dig in and reflect on the ideas contained in a whole book and to discuss with fellow readers should be a major part of every student’s education. But the basic model of the most important testing we’ve been subjecting students to for the pas t twenty-some years is this: 1) Read a short excerpt of a book that you are seeing for the first time. 2) Answer some multiple choice questions about it, and do it by yourself and right now.If the test is already set, the best way to prepare for it is with a battery of activities that most closely look like the test itself. And so as the Big Standardized Tests have spread, publishers have cranked out varieties of coaching workbooks that are all collections of short excerpts accompanied by a set of multiple choice questions. Instead of teaching students how to read a whole book, we teach them how to take a standardized test.There are certainly other forces that push teachers in the direction of excerpts over complete books. Since there are only 180 days in the year, teachers always have to decide whether to take a full six months to work through Moby Dick, or to give students just a taste.One can even point the finger at a culture in which we just read headlines instead of articles. But as long as major testing pushes a quick reaction to context-free excerpts, schools will abandon the reflective, cooperative, thoughtful deep dive into a complete book sooner or later. And that will be a loss for students.8. How does the author feel about the new policy in New York City?A．Unsurprised. B．Relieved. C．Unconcerned. D．Excited.9. What does the author most likely want students to do?A．Finish their homework immediately after school.B．Read whole books together with their classmates.C．Buy workbooks that are closely based on the test itself.D．Do more standardized reading comprehension exercises.10. Which of the following can replace the phrase “cranked out” in paragraph 4?A．charged B．canceled C．changed D．produced11. What should be blamed mainly for the shift to excerpts over books?A．The limited time. B．The government policy.C．The official tests. D．The available workbooks.In the late 1990s, a scientist named Mark Blumberg stood in a lab at the University of Iowa watching a few sleeping newlyborn rats. He found that the baby rats kept making small, sharp movements in their sleep, and that their closed eyes moved from side to side in a phenomenon known as rapid eye movement (REM). Blumberg knew that the rats were fine, because he knew people do the same during REM sleep. And scientists have long had an explanation for the twitches (抽动) and REM: They are dreaming about their waking life.However, as he dug deeper, he wondered why adult rats spend only about two hours of each night in REM sleep, while baby rats spend an unusual amount of time in REM, often sleeping for sixteen hours a day and dreaming for eight.“If dreams are hints of waking life, adult rats who have more experiences should spend more time in REM sleep. Why do baby rats, whose eyes are still shut, spend so much time in REM sleep when they have too little to dream about?” he wondered. “Why do their eyes, their legs, tails and whiskers move hundreds of thousands of times during their sleep?”In the end, Blumberg concluded that it might be the other way around — perhaps the movements were sending signals to the brain to help it learn about the body.“You wouldn’t think that the body is something a brain needs to learn,” he wrote in a paper. “But we aren’t born with maps of our bodies. We can’t be, because our bodies change by the day. But in waking life, we cannot move only a single muscle. Even the simplest act of swallowing (吞咽) employs more than thirty pairs of nerves and muscles working together. Our small and sharp movements in sleep, by contrast, are exact and precise: They involve muscles one at a time. In other words, such movements allow the muscles and nerves to form one-to-one connections that otherwise would be impossible. It’s a process that’s most important for the brain to lear n about the body as we grow, suffer injuries and learn new skills.12. What was the previous explanation for REM?A．It was just an outward sign of dreams.B．It showed the difficulty in sleeping.C．It was an indicator of terrible dreams.D．It only occured to sleeping baby rats.13. What can be learned from paragraph 2?A．Baby rats have to spend all night in REM sleep.B．REM sleep just accounts for part of the sleeping time.C．It is unnecessary for baby rats to sleep 16 hours a day.D．It is not enough for adults to have two hours of REM sleep.14. What is a feature of the movements in REM sleep according to Mark Blumberg?A．They teach the brain new skills and heal injuries.B．Muscles have to work together to start the movements.C．Each of them just involves a muscle and a nerve at a time.D．They are less exact and precise than our daily movements.15. What is the text mainly about?A．The importance of REM sleep.B．The latest discoveries about dreaming.C．The relationship between dreams and waking life.D．A different explanation for the twitches during sleep.Small talks are the short conversations we have at parties, at family events or at work. These small talks can open doors that lead to larger, more meaningful conversations. 16 . Here are some tips for them to improve their small-talking ability.Have some conversation starters ready. If you have seen a really good movie or have read a really good book, you can talk about that. You can also talk about something that both of you are interested in. 17 , it will be a very good conversation starter. Or you simply notice and comment on what’s going on around you. If you are at a party and a song comes on that you like or that reminds you of something, you can talk about that.18 . Nobody knows everything. So, if someone brings up something about which you know nothing, just tell them! This lets the other person become the teacher. They feel good about sharing their knowledge and you get to learn something. It’s a win-win situation.Ask open-ended questions. 19 . If you ask questions that need more details to answer, the conversation will go on longer. For example, if you are at a summer pool party, don’t ask a person if they like summer. 20 .This week, I will hike along the Appalachian Trail alone to look for what can be hard to find in the city: solitude. In the _________, I can find places to be alone, but it is much harder to find true solitude. The _________ between cities and mountains is the secret I find that the _________ comforts.For many people, the idea of being alone in mountains can be _________. It’s understandable because we are, _________, social animals. But being in the wild without others doesn’t mean being _________. In fact, it can be quite the _________. Life is there already. There are the bird calls in the air and frogs crossing the trail.And there is more.When you come to a(n) _________ where the sunlight makes it to the forest floor, you can sometimes catch a hint of something. I don’t know what to call it. Words _________. But it feels something like a root or a(n) ____________ song of the world’s own presence.If that moment is just between you and the wild world, then you are ____________ indeed. That is when you can ____________ what Henry David Thoreau meant when he said, “I never found the____________ that was so companionable as solitude.”So, as the great John Muir ____________ it: “Keep close to Nature’s heart once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the wild to wash your ____________ clean.”21.A．mountain B．city C．air D．sea22.A．connection B．agreement C．difference D．argument23.A．food B．friendship C．music D．wilderness24.A．discomforting B．amusing C．relaxing D．exciting25.A．by choice B．by accident C．by nature D．by mistake26.A．happy B．alone C．patient D．brave27.A．opposite B．false C．beautiful D．same28.A．apartment B．office C．farm D．clearing29.A．fail B．spread C．matter D．win30.A．sweet B．unvoiced C．popular D．odd31.A．angry B．sad C．lucky D．frightened32.A．refuse B．forget C．forgive D．understand33.A．pond B．companion C．hunter D．rain34.A．put B．denied C．accepted D．assessed35.A．land B．body C．record D．spirit阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

安徽省合肥市第一中学2024-2025学年高二上学期期中考试英语试卷一、阅读理解Impressive exhibitions in the US worth traveling for in 2024 Here are several museum exhibitions across the USA that are worth traveling for in 2024.1. Yayoi Kusama: Infinite LoveSFMOMA, San FranciscoOn view: now through September 7For six decades now, Japanese polymath Yayoi Kusama has been exploring the concept of the “infinity room.” These meditations on perception, the universe and existence itself combine bold colors, three-dimensional forms and mirror-generated visual illusions to transport viewers to an inclusive aesthetic world. In the exhibition Yayoi Kusama: Infinite Love, they have landed in Northern California for the first time. Featured works including the brand-new Dreaming of Earth’s Sphericity, I Would Offer My Love (2023) and the famous LOVE IS CALLING (2013) will be on display at SFMOMA through next fall. Be sure to reserve advance tickets the minute they go on sale.2. Matisse and the SeaSt Louis Art Museum, St LouisOn view: February 17-May 12,2024Henri Matisse lived for decades near the Mediterranean, and a number of blues carry through his entire oeuvre (全部作品), largely inspired by the reflection of light of the water. With the artist’s Bathers with Turtle (1907–8) as a museum highlight, the exhibition travels across both Matisse’s works and the world itself, with works by this 20th-century master in various media, depicting the sea as a subject and as a theme.3. Georgia O’ Keeffe: “My New Yorks”Art Institute of Chicago, ChicagoOn view: June 2-September 24,2024This show at the Art Institute of Chicago will explore how Georgia O’ Keeffe - an artist soclosely associated with the Southwest and nature - spent her formative years in the USA’s biggest city. Before she turned her eye to flowers and desert sunsets, Georgia O’ Keeffe captured the distinctive perspectives of New York City, looking up at skyscrapers from street level and down from her 30th-floor apartment.4. Whitney Biennial 2024: Even Better Than the Real ThingWhitney Museum of American Art, New Y ork CityOn view: starting March 20,2024Some leave angry. Others emerge inspired. Yet however you react, it’s hard to forget any Whitney Biennial. Multimedia pieces and political themes are never hard to detect. Organized by Chrissi e Iles and Meg Onli, the lineup at this year’s -Biennial has yet to be announced. But whoever the participants are, their work is sure to make a statement.1．What can we learn from the artist Yayoi Kusama and his works?A．His work Infinite Love has been on display for decades.B．His works feature incorporating varied colors boldly into the works.C．Dreaming of Earth’s Sphericity was inspired by the light of water.D．Four-dimensional forms will transport viewers to the universe.2．Who is most likely to be the target audience for the last exhibition?A．people concerned with current political affairs.B．people having a passion for economy.C．people fond of pursuing old fashion.D．people enthusiastic about different reactions. 3．What do the exhibition 2 and 3 have in common?A．Both artists prefer using city landscape in the works.B．Both exhibitions need to be reserved in advance.C．Both artists’ works focus on themes concerning surroundings.D．Both artists’ works embody political themes.My husband and I fell in love when we would sit and talk in the living room of my old apartment in front of the windows drinking cups of black coffee, sometimes until sunrise. I was so extremely fortunate to have finally found that one special person.However, it was soon after our honeymoon that my husband climbed into the tomb called “the office” and buried himself in piles of paperwork and clients, and I just kept silent for fear ofturning into a complaining wife. It seemed as if overnight an invisible wall had been put up between us. He just lay beside snoring like a hibernating bear unaware of my winter.When our daughter was born, my life was centred on her and I no longer seemed to care that my husband was getting busier and spending less time at home. Somewhere between his work timetable and our home and young daughter, we were losing contact with each other. That invisible wall was now being hardened by the mortar (砂浆) of indifference.Then tragedy struck our lives, when my husband’s younger brother was killed in 2001, together with thousands of other innocent people. He was identified only by the engraving (雕刻) on the inside of his wedding ring. Attending our brother’s memorial service was an eye-opening experience for both of us. For the first time, we saw our own marriage was almost like my in-laws. At the tragic death of the youngest son they could not reach out to comfort one another. It seemed as if somewhere between the oldest son’s first tooth and the youngest son’s graduation they had lost each other.Later one night, my husband told of his fear of dying and I spoke of trying to find myself in the writings of my journal. It seemed as if each of us had been hiding our soul-searching from the other.We are slowly working toward building a bridge - not a wall, so that when we reach out to each other, we do not find a barrier we cannot pass through or retreat from the stranger on the other side.4．what can we learn about the author’s husband From the second paragraph?A．He was fully involved in his work.B．He didn’t show any affection for her.C．He preferred his work to his family D．He got tired of his nagging wife5．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean?A．The author’s husband’s brothers.B．The author’s husband’s brothers-in-law.C．The author’s husband’s parents.D．The author’s husband’s sisters-in-law. 6．Which of the following best describe the author?A．Dependent and critical.B．Sensitive and sensible.C．Sympathetic and emotional.D．Ambitious and understanding.7．What can we infer from the passage about the couple?A．Attending the memorial service worsened their relationship.B．Their brother’s death set off their reflection on marriage.C．Communication was a most effective means to break the barrier.D．The fear of dying prevented the husband from reaching out.Nobel science prizes are awarded in three areas: physics, chemistry and physiology or medicine. But occasionally some noteworthy discovery comes along that does not really fit into any of them. Similar flexibility, though in an area with far more profound consequences than ethology (行为学), has been demonstrated with regard to this year’s physics prize.Showing a sense of timeliness not always apparent in its deliberations, Sweden’s Royal Academy of Science has stretched the definition of physics to include computer science, and given its recognition to two of the pioneers of the artificial-intelligence (AI) revolution.John Hopfield of Princeton University and Geoffrey Hinton of the University of Toronto both did their crucial work in the early 1980s, at a time when computer hardware was unable to take full advantage of it. Dr Hopfield was responsible for what has become known as the Hopfield network - a type of artificial neural network that behaves like a physical structure called a spin glass, which gave the academy a fa int reason to call the field "physics". Dr Hinton’s contribution was to use an algorithm (算法) known to train neural networks.Artificial neural networks are computer programs based loosely on the way in which real; biological networks of nerve cells are believed to work. In particular, the strengths of the connections between "nodes" (结点) in such networks are plastic. Hopfield networks, in which each node is connected to every other except itself, are particularly good at learning to extract patterns from sparse (稀疏的) or noisy data.Dr Hinton’s algorithm enhances neural networks’ learning ability by letting them work, in effect, in three dimensions. Hopfield networks and their types are, in essence, two-dimensional. Though they actually exist only as simulations in software, they can be thought of as a structure of physical layers of nodes. Dr Hinton adjusted Dr Hopfield’s networks using a branch of maths called statistical mechanics to create what are known as Boltzmann machines. Boltzmann machines can be used to create systems that learn in an unsupervised manner, spotting patterns in data without having to be explicitly taught.It is, then, the activities of these two researchers which have made machine learning reallysing. AI models can now not only learn, but create. Such tools have thus gone from being able to perform highly specific tasks, such as recognizing cancerous cells in pictures of tissue samples or streamlining particle-physics data, to anything from writing essays for lazy undergraduates to running robots.8．Why does the writer mention the three areas of Nobel science prizes?A．To inform readers of the specific information.B．To introduce the flexibility of this years’ Nobel physics prize.C．To share with readers the importance of the Nobel prizes.D．To highlight the critical role physics plays in the world.9．What can be the evidence that the two researcher’s activities can be called “physics”?A．The Hopfield Networks are two-dimensional.B．The nodes in the Hopfield Network connect each other.C．The Hopfield Network functions in a similar way to a spin glass.D．The Hopfield Network can extract patterns using a little data.10．How did Dr Hinton strengthen neural networks’ learning ability?A．He used special physical principles.B．He changed the function of the networks.C．He thought of a structure suitable for the networks.D．He made use of maths to transform their ways of working11．What can be the main idea of the passage?A．AI neural networks can be widely used.B．Two researchers will be awarded the Nobel Physics Prize.C．AI researchers have received the Nobel Prize for Physics.D．Physiology and medicine researchers are common in the Nobel Prize winners.The term parasocial interaction (虚拟社交) was introduced in the 1950s by the social scientists Donald Horton and R. Richard Wohl. It was the early days of home television, and they were seeing people form a close connection with actors who were appearing virtually in their home. Today, the definition is much broader. After all, actors, singers, comedians, athletes, and countless other celebrities are available to us in more ways than ever before. Forming parasocialbonds has never been easier.Psychologists document cases of parasocial relationships that can go much deeper, with severe consequences. Scholars note parasocial bonds range from casual talk about stars to intense emotions, to uncontrollable behavior and fantasies. At the deepest level, the parasocial relationship can be dangerous, such as when a fan loses touch with reality and secretly follows a star. It can also lead to confusion about one’s own identity, particularly in adolescents who are still forming their sense of self, as they may model themselves on the media figures with whom they have parasocial relationships.In 2021, two psychologists from York University, in Canada, found that forming parasocial bonds was strongly related to avoidant attachment. That is, people who tended to push others away in their day-to-day lives were more likely to relate to fictional characters. You can easily see how parasocial relationships could be a replacement when one finds real-life attachment difficult. This could start a feedback cycle, in which avoiding close relationships stimulates parasocial bonding, which in turn leads to reduced interactions with real-life family and friends as the fans spends their time and energy on someone who doesn’t know they exist.My purpose here is not to say that parasocial interactions are always bad for you, or even abnormal. Rather, it is to suggest that heavy parasocial bonding might be a signal that you are crowding out the real people who can give you the love you truly need. One way to address this is to get some more distance from your fictional friends, thus pausing the feedback cycle and giving yourself more space to pursue in-person connection.12．How has parasocial interaction changed according to Paragraph 1?A．It has become more accessible.B．It has affected more celebrities.C．It has lost much of its significance.D．It has turned into a two-way process. 13．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Reasons behind celebrity following.B．Origins of dangerous relationships.C．Different types of parasocial relationships.D．Potential harm of parasocialrelationships.14．Which of the following can lead to parasocial relationships?A．Socializing with strangers.B．Having strong family support.C．Participating in group activities.D．Struggling with relationships in reality.15．What might the author suggest for those with heavy parasocial relationships?A．Meeting fictional friends in real life.B．Seeking guidance from professionals.C．Hanging out more with real friends.D．Creating more space for being alone.We are overwhelmed by an unprecedented volume of information. 16 if we don’t actively engage with it.In order to stay focused and retain more information, it’s important to be highly engaged with the content. 17 It mostly relies on critical thinking. Active reading transforms passive absorption into an interactive, analytical process. There are many active reading strategies, but here are some of the most immediately useful.Understand the author’s purpose. 18 Take a few minutes to read the introduction or any other material available to become aware of the reason and intent of writing.Adjust your reading rate. Instead of using a constant rate, adapt yourself to the content you’re reading. 19 , and speeding up when it’s information you are already familiar with.Annotate the content. Taking notes is a great way to stay engaged with the content. Use the margins to write ideas that pop into your mind when reading something.Paraphrase. Whenever a new concept seems a bit more complex to grasp, stop reading and try to paraphrase it using your own words. This will force you to assess your level of understanding.Organize the information visually. Map the content into a graphic to better visualize it and make it your own. You can craft a simple mind map, or be creative with collages and other forms of visual thinking.Evaluate the content. Every so often, take a step back and think critically about what you’re reading. 20Consult a reference. Whenever you’ re in doubt, use a dictionary or another external reference to make sure you understand a new concept or an unfamiliar word’s meaning and have all the necessary background information.Summarize the ideas. Once you’ re done reading a book, sit down and write your own summary. Get bonus points if you publish it online to learn in public and get feedback and additional perspectives from other readers.Active reading will help you make the most of the time you spend reading books and blog posts by ensuring you retain more of the relevant content and can apply it in your day-to-day life and work.A．This means slowing down to comprehend better new or more complex information. B．Yet, research suggests that we forget up to 70% of new information within 24 hours.C．It matters for you to assess what you read.D．Active reading basically means reading something with the determination to understand, evaluate, and remember relevant aspects of what you read.E．Is it well structured, are there gaps in the argument, does the author sound biased?F．Is the goal of the author to inform, entertain, or advertise their product or services?G．Our life is packed with varied information.二、完形填空Michael Surrell and his wife had just parked the car when they got a call from their daughter, “The house next door is on fire!” He immediately went to 21 and saw an old woman cried. “The baby is inside!” “The baby” was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, the woman’s 22 .Though the fire department had been called, Surrell 23 rushed into the burning house.

安徽省合肥市第一中学2023-2024学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Four Self-Portraits (自画像) by Famous ArtistsRaphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino)—“Self-Portrait”, 1506One of the beautiful self-portraits by famous artist Raphael was drawn at the age of 23. It measures around 45cm×33cm and is located at the world-famous Uffizi Gallery. The Italian painter used oil on board to draw his self-portrait, which was the clearest and the most recognizable self-portraits of Raphael himself.Leonardo da Vinci—“Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk”, 1512“Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk”is a self-portrait of da Vinci at the age of 60 and measures around 33.3cm×21.6cm, which is on display in Biblioteca Reale, Turin, Italy. It is drawn with red chalk on paper and represents the head of an elderly man in a three-quarter view. In the portrait, the length of the hair is uncommon in Renaissance (文艺复兴) portraits.Rembrandt van Rijn—“Self-Portrait with Beret and Turned-up Collar”, 1659Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn painted his self-portrait in 1659 when he was 53 years old. It shows his worried expression that clearly portrays the troubled condition of his mind at that point of his life since the year 1659 was a year of anxiety for him. This self-portrait found its place among the Benjamin Altman Collection, which has been exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1913.Edgar Degas—“Degas Au Porte-Fusain’”, l855Edgar Degas made this self-portrait only when he was twenty-one years old. It was one of the most remarkable of his fifteen self-portraits. Degas was seated as seemingly without fear and anxiety. The pose in the painting was formal and academic. The painting is located in the musée d’Orsay, Paris, France.1．Where should visitors go if they want to admire Raphael’s self-portrait in 1506?A．Uffizi Gallery.B．Biblioteca Reale.C．The musée d’Orsay.D．The Metropolitan Museum of Art. 2．Which aspect of Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk was special during the Renaissance?A．The red clothing.B．The formal pose.C．The long hair.D．The worried expression.3．Which painter was the youngest when painting the above-mentioned self-portraits?A．Raphael.B．Edgar Degas.C．Leonardo da Vinci.D．Rembrandt van Rijn.Last Friday, a robot called EveR6 led an orchestra (管弦乐队) in a performance of Korean music at the National Theater of Korea. EveR 6 is about as tall as a person, and has a human-like face that can show emotions. Its joints (关节) allow it to move its arms quickly and smoothly in many different directions.But EveR 6 doesn’t think on its own like some advanced Artificial Intelligence programs. Instead, it has a limited group of movements that it has been trained to perform. To make these movements as natural as possible, EveR 6’s movements are based on those captured from real human conductors.In Friday’s performance, the National Orchestra of Korea presented a concert titled “Absence”. The concert included five different pieces of music. Two were conducted by EveR 6, and two were conducted by Soo-Yeoul Choi, who leads the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. Both conductors worked together on the final piece.Mr. Choi was impressed with the way EveR 6 moved. “The robot was able to present such detailed moves much better than I had imagined,” he said.But Mr. Choi added that the robot’s biggest weakness is that it can’t hear. “Some people think that conducting is just a combination of hand waving and keeping the beat,” said Mr. Choi. “But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays.”Mr. Choi and EveR 6 both conducted a piece of music called “Sense”. Instead of musical notes, EveR 6 had instructions for how to play the piece. The conductors and musicians had to work together to create the music. Mr. Choi communicated with the musicians while EveR 6 kept the beat. Mr. Choi said that once EveR 6 started, the musicians had “no choice but to follow its beats”.Mr. Choi doesn’t think robots are likely to replace human conductors. But he believes robots could be helpful in situations like practice sessions where the same thing needs to be repeated many times.4．What do we know about EveR 6 from the text?A．It is an experienced conductor.B．It has a lifelike appearance.C．It is able to listen to music.D．It is much shorter than a person. 5．What does the underlined word “captured”in paragraph 2 mean?A．Stolen.B．Stopped.C．Recorded.D．Hidden. 6．What advantage does a human conductor have over EveR 6?A．Waving hands.B．Keeping the beat.C．Having instructions.D．Communicating with musicians. 7．What is the text mainly about?A．A robot conducting an orchestra.B．An orchestra having performed in Korea.C．Modern music combined with technology.D．Two conductors getting worldwide recognition.While temperatures continue to climb, visitors are still coming to see Death Valley National Park on the California-Nevada border. The park is known as the hottest place on Earth. This past weekend, the temperatures climbed to 53.33℃. Most visitors at this time of year make it only a short distance to any area in the park before returning to the cool air in their vehicles.Early information from the park service shows that across the nation’s 424 national parks, at least four people have died this year from heat-related causes. That includes a 65-year-old man from San Diego who was found dead at Death Valley earlier this month.Death Valley National Park suggests visitors be careful and not have expectations of rescue. While park rangers (护林员) drive on park roads and can aid tourists in need, it is unsure that lost visitors will get help in time.Physical activity can make the heat feel even worse and leave people exhausted. Alessia Dempster, who was visiting from Edinburgh, Scotland, said, “It’s very hot especially when there’s a gentle wind. You would think maybe that would give you some slight relief from the heat, but it just really does feel like an air blow dryer just going back in your face.”Death Valley is a narrow area that is below sea level and surrounded by high mountains, the park service’s website says. The dry air and small plant coverage let sunlight heat up the park surface. The heat then becomes trapped in the valley.Still, several areas in Death Valley continue to draw tourists. Badwater Basin, made up of salt flats, is considered the lowest point in all of North America. The 183-meter UbehebeCrater dates back over 2,000 years. And Zabriskie Point is a great sunrise viewing spot.Josh Miller, a visitor from Indianapolis who has been to 20 national parks so far, shared that feeling. “It’s hot, but the scenery is awesome,” he said.8．What do most visitors do in Death V alley?A．Cool themselves in time.B．Do lots of physical exercises.C．Stay away from park rangers.D．Carry dryers with themselves.9．Why does the author mention the 65-year-old man in paragraph 2?A．To encourage the elderly to travel more.B．To express admiration for mountain climbers.C．To advise people to tour Death Valley more often.D．To show the danger of traveling in Death Valley.10．What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about Death Valley?A．Its covering area.B．Its attractive spots.C．The reason why it is so hot.D．The service of its park’s website. 11．What can be inferred about Death Valley from the last two paragraphs?A．It has a short history.B．It is worth visiting.C．It draws fewer and fewer tourists.D．It is unsuitable for viewing sunrise.Indoor food growing operations are seeing both successes and failures in the United States. Some companies in the food industry are investing (投资) even as competitors fail.California-based Plenty Unlimited this summer began working on $300 million indoor plants, while Kroger announced that it would be increasing its availability of vertically (垂直地) farmed produce. Meanwhile, two indoor farming companies that got strong backing—New Jersey’s AeroFarms and Kentucky’s AppHarvest—filed for financial failure and reorganization. And a five-year-old company in Detroit, Planted Detroit, shut its doors this summer.The industry changes do not worry Jacob Portillo, a grower with Eden Green Technology, an indoor farming company. “The fact that other people are failing and other people are succeeding is going to happen in any industry you go to,” he said.Indoor farming refers to growing crops indoors, which experts sometimes call “controlled environment agriculture”. There are different methods. One method called vertical farming involves putting produce from floor to ceiling, often under artificial lightsand with the plants growing in nutrient-enriched water. Other growers are trying very large greenhouses, indoor beds of soil in big buildings and using special robots for parts of the farming process.Supporters say growing indoors uses less water and land and permits food to be grown closer to consumers, saving on transport. Indoor growing is also a way to protect crops from increasingly extreme weather caused by climate change.But critics question the sustainability (可持续性) of operations that can require a lot of energy for artificial lights. And they say paying for that light can make profitability impossible. Curt Covington of AgAmerica Lending, a private investment company centered on agriculture, is not convinced that indoor farming operations can work—except in special cases. Given the high cost of indoor operations, Covington said, “It’s just hard to be very profitable.”12．What is Jacob Portillo’s attitude to the indoor food growing industry?A．Positive.B．Worried.C．Unclear.D．Doubtful. 13．What can we learn about indoor farming?A．It takes a lot of manpower to take care of plants.B．It means growing plants in water instead of soil.C．It protects crops from increasingly extreme weather.D．It is different from controlled environment agriculture.14．Why did Curt Covington question indoor farming operations?A．They produce little food.B．They carry great cost.C．They need sunlight.D．They lack investors.15．What is the best title for the text?A．What Types of Food Can Be Grown Indoors?B．How Can You Grow Food Indoors Without Soil?C．Indoor Farming Companies Take Agriculture IndoorsD．Indoor Food Growing Operations Face an Uncertain Future二、七选五It can be a wonderful and satisfying experience to have roommates to share a home with. Living with others can often help you develop close relationships and learn some life skillsalong the way. 16 .Honest communicationIn order to solve any problems that may arise, effective communication is necessary.17 , where you feel free to voice worries, expectations and feedback.

Take the time to clean up shared areas like bathrooms and kitchens and respect each other’s standards of cleanliness.Develop a sense of humor19 . Developing a sense of humor will help relieve tension and create a more lighthearted atmosphere, especially when you and your roommates have the same sense of humor.Be considerate of your roommates’ needsBeing considerate of your roommates’ schedule, preferences and routines is part of living with them. A supportive living environment is created by small things, for example, offering to pick up groceries or helping with housework. 20 , especially when one of your roommates is studying or working or when anyone in the apartment is asleep.A．Respect yourselfB．You can create an open-door policyC．Keep shared space clean and organizedD．It is also wise to be mindful of noise levelsE．Here are practical tips on how to be a good roommateF．Living with others can lead to disagreements and argumentsG．Being a good roommate is more than making your rent payments on time三、完形填空a miracle (奇迹) but fearing the worst. .She had been 23 in freestyle skiing’s World Tour Finals in Canada when disaster struck.
