湖北省沙市中学2022-2023学年高二下学期5月月考英语试题
湖北省沙市中学2022-2023学年高二下学期5月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Exhibition TimesMonday-Saturday 10.00-17.45Sunday 12.00-17.45Last admission to the exhibition: 17.15. There is no re-admission.Closed: 24-26 December and 1 January.Admission£4. Children under 12 years accompanied by an adult are admitted free.Schools and CollegesA special low entrance charge of £2 per person is available to all in full-time education, up to and including those at first degree level, in organised groups with teachers.1．What is the right time for attending Raeburn’s English Contemporaries?A．Sun. 26 Oct.B．Thurs. 30 Oct.C．Thurs. 6 Nov.D．Thurs.13 Nov.2．How much would a couple with two children under 12 pay for admission?A．£4.B．£8.C．£12.D．£16.3．How can full-time students get group discounts?A．They should go on Sunday mornings.B．They should come from art schools. C．They must be led by teachers.D．They must have ID cards with them.We’ve reached a strange—some would say unusual—point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days.Worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through—up to a point.In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades. Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body conscious country.We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower.Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American style fast food.Some also blame their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried tolose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say—not as I do.4．What is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?A．The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.B．Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.C．WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.D．Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.5．Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?A．A lot of effective diet pills are available.B．Body image has nothing to do with good food.C．They have been made fully aware of its dangers.D．There are too many overweight people in the world.6．The example of Finland is used to illustrate ________.A．the cause of heart diseaseB．the fashion of body shapingC．the effectiveness of a campaignD．the history of a body conscious country7．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Actions or Excuses?B．Overweight or Underweight?C．WHO in a DilemmaD．No Longer Dying of HungerFor most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets，and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue，the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地)，and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends tobe such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience^one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awarenessof the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it”，Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today，as the world’s urban population explodes，and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”一are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.8．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．The general view of elevators.B．The particular interests of experts.C．The desire for a remarkable machine.D．The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.9．The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is .A．to contrast their functions with elevators,B．to emphasize the importance of elevatorsC．to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD．to explain people’s preference for elevators10．According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences?A．Vertical direction.B．Lack of excitement.C．Little physical space.D．Uncomfortable conditions.11．The author urges readers to consider .A．the exact number of elevator loversB．the serious future situation of elevatorsC．the role of elevators in city developmentD．the relationship between cars and elevatorsAcademic dishonesty is nothing new. As long as there have been homework assignments and tests, there have been cheaters. The way that cheating looks has changed over time, though, particularly now that technology has made it easier than ever. A study by the Josephson Institute of Ethics interviewed 23,000 high school students and asked them a variety of questions about academic ethics. Of the teens surveyed, 51 percent said that they had knowingly cheated at some point on an exam but that they did not feel uneasy about the behaviour. A Common Sense Media survey found that 35 percent of students had cheated via smartphone, though the parents surveyed in that particular study did not believe their kids had ever cheated. In many cases, students did not realize that strategies like looking up answers on a smartphone were actually cheating at all.In today’s classrooms, students who cheat are rarely caught. There are no formulas written on the insides of hands or students looking across the aisle, or whispering answers to their classmates. Today’s students use smartphones, tablets or even in-class computers to aid their cheating attempts and leave no trace of their crimes. Since cheating through technology is not listed specifically as being against the rules in many school policies, students do not view the actions unethical (不合道德的).The technology is being adopted so quickly that school districts cannot adequately keep up with cheating policies, or even awareness campaigns that alert students to the problem with using technology to find answers in a certain way. From a young age, students learn that answers exist conveniently at their fingertips through search engines and expert websites.Schools must develop anti-cheating policies that include technology and these policies must be updated consistently. Teachers must stay on guard when it comes to what their students are doing in classrooms and how technology could be playing a negative role in the learning process. Parents must also talk to their kids about the appropriate ways to find academic answers and alert them to unethical behaviours that may seem innocent in their own eyes.12．What do we learn from the study by the Josephson Institute of Ethics?A．Over half of the students interviewed were unaware they were cheating.B．Cheating was becoming a way of life for a majority of high school teens. C．Cheating was getting more and more difficult for high school students.D．More than half of the interviewees felt no sense of guilt over cheating.13．What did the Common Sense Media survey reveal?A．Most parents tended to overprotect their children.B．Parents and kids had conflicting ideas over cheating.C．Students were in urgent need of ethical education.D．Many students committed cheating without parents’ awareness.14．What does the author think schools should do to tackle cheating?A．Alert parents to their children’s behaviour.B．Reform their exam methods constantly. C．Take advantage of the latest technologies.D．Bring policies against cheating up to date.15．What does the author suggest teachers do in the classroom?A．Prevent students from using electronic devices.B．Develop more effectiveanti-cheating strategies.C．Guard against students’ misuse of technology D．Find more ways to stop students’ unethical acts.二、七选五Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” ___16___ According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.___17___ If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). ___18___ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower bloodpressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. ___19___ It gives us a great feeling of peace.___20___While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.A．Fresh air cleans our lungs.B．So what are you waiting for?C．Being in nature refreshes us.D．Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.E．But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?F．Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.G．All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.三、完形填空I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV. One day, a sociologist proposedneighborhood. As the shopkeeper Mr. Johnson was selling me the bicycle, he said, “This isHappy as a child, I got on the bicycle and headed out onto the streets.

2022-2023学年江苏省扬州中学高二下学期5月月考英语试题1. Amazing China in 60 Seconds is a short video series covering cultural and scenic hotspots across the country.TibetTibet autonomous region in Southwest China, home to the highest plateau(高原) on Earth, is known as the “roof of the world”. It’s a paradise for tourists with its towering snow mountains, vast grasslands, peaceful lakes and breathtaking views. Must-visit places include the Potala Palace - a UNESCO world heritage site, Mount Qomolangma, Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon and more.Tibet is also famed for its rich ethnic culture, including the Tibetan dance, age-old thangka painting and Lum medicinal bathing of Sowa Rigpa - traditional Tibetan bathing for a medical purpose which was included in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2018.TianjinNeighboring the Chinese capital city of Beijing, Tianjin rests between the northern Yanshan Mountains and the coastal plain. Adjacent to the sea and rivers, it carries distinct ecological beauty. Tianjin is where Eastern and Western cultures meet. It has many precious historical sites, former residences of celebrities and foreign-style architecture. Famous tourist destinations include the Tianjin Eye, the Huangyaguan Great Wall, and the Five Big Avenues area, which hosts about 2,000 villas in various Western styles built in the 1920s and 1930s.ChongqingSouthwest China’s Chongqing is largely built on mountain s and surrounded by rivers; thus it is known as the “mountain city”. Many people are drawn to Chongqing by its delicious food - especially its signature spicy hotpot - and natural scenery.Boasting the largest number of hotpot restaurants in China, Chongqi ng was named “China’s Hotpot City” by the China Cuisine Association in 2007. Statistics show there are more than 50,000 hotpot eateries across the city. With more than 3,000 year of history, Chongqing still preserves traditional culture and lifestyles.1.

Despite Kyle Tianshi being only a 15-year-old US high schooler, he has published five sci-fi novels. His fifth book Eventide was released in July. However, this may not be his most impressive achievement as Kyle just received the “Hero Award”, a $20, 000 grand prize. It is the top honor in the California Youth Sustainability Awards. The competition aims to encourage and support young community leaders who are making a difference for sustainability in their communities by taking action for the planet.Kyle, a sophomore from the Cambridge School in the US, received the honor for his portable invention called NEREID. The device can detect microscopic particles (粒子) in water by using a laser and microscope. These particles can be harmful to people and the environment.Kyle came up with the idea for the invention based on his experience growing up in San Diego, California, US. People had no access to unpolluted drinking water and his parents asked him not to drink tap water. Kyle spent about $60 buying the tools needed to analyze the tap water: a laser, a microscope and a micro-computer. “It’s incredibly powerful for the price,” Kyle said. Then he used their family’s garage as his laboratory, doing r esearch on the pollution of drinking water caused by micro-plastics.Kyle hopes to bring to market a low-cost alternative tool for detecting micro-plastic pollution levels in drinking water. In this way, he can offer help to people who don’t have access t o water filtration (过滤) systems. He has applied for a patent.Kyle said his sister Emily, a freshman at Stanford University, inspired his interest in environmental research. She was recognized nationally for developing a water collection device. They have founded the Clearwater Innovation program to advocate for clean water through social media platforms and organize community cleanup events.1. What do we know about Kyle?A．He is good at adapting sci-fi works.B．He entered many novel contests.C．He received an award for his invention.D．He’s found microscopic particles in water.2. What led to Kyle’s creation of NEREID?A．People’s lack of clean drinking water.B．People’s poor living conditions.C．His desire to be a community leader. D．His family’s encouragement.3. Which of the following best describes Kyle?A．Considerate and brave. B．Optimistic and honest.C．Determined and humorous. D．Responsible and creative.4. What’s the text mainly about?A．The introduction of NEREID. B．A boy’s contribution to literature.C．The harm of polluted water. D．A US schooler’s water solution.3. Zebrafish, named for their characteristic stripes (条纹), have been a popular test subject for researchers. Only a few centimeters in length, the fish reproduce easily in captivity (圈养), grow quickly, and their transparent body makes it easy to study their organs. Above all, they possess some surprising “self-healing” power. When part of their heart is removed, they can grow it back in a matter of weeks. When blinded, they can quickly regain the ability to see.Recent studies show that humans and zebrafish have the same major organs and share 70 percent of the genes. Moreover, 84 percent of human genes associated with disease find a counterpart in zebrafish. Scientists thus hope that understanding the self-healing mystery of the fish may one day allow humans to regenerate (使……再生) such organs as eyes, hearts, and spines.Researchers at Vanderbilt University are particularly interested in zebrafish retina (视网膜) regeneration. They have learned that damage of retina can cause blindness in zebrafish, yet it only takes about three to four weeks before vision is regained. The structure and cell types of zebrafish reins are almost the same to those of humans. If the process can be copied in humans, it may give rise to new treatments for blindness caused by retinal damage.In order to know exactly how zebrafsh retina is regenerated, the team looked at the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a chemical messenger in the brain that reduces the activity of neurons. They found that lowering GABA levels in zebrafish can activate retina regeneration, while a high level of GABA concentration will suppress the regeneration process. This suggested that GABA plays an important role in t he fish’s ability to regain their sight. The result served as a further proof to scientists previous work.The team is beginning to test the GABA theory on mice. If that works, human trials will be next on the agenda. If the research proves successful in humans, some of the nearly 40 million blind people worldwide may one day have a tiny, striped fish to thank.1. What’s the most amazing for zebrafish?A．Its beautiful stripes. B．Its regenerationability.C．Its transparentbody.D．Its excellenteyesight.2. What does the underlined word “suppress” mean in paragraph 4?A．Hold back. B．Add up. C．Draw up. D．Get over. 3. What do we know about the study in Vanderbilt University?A．Humans are currently under trial. B．The first experimental subject is mice.C．The researchers had unexpected discoveries. D．The results are in line with previous study findings.4. Which of the following is the best title of the text?A．How Do Zebrafish Heal Themselves? B．What Is the Mystery of Zebrafish Retina?C．Will Self-healing Power of Zebrafish Be D．Could the Tiny Zebrafish Teach Us toRegained? Cure Blindness?4.China’s telescope, planned to be launched at the end of 2023, is expected to provide humankind with fresh knowledge about distant galaxies, mysterious dark matter, and the past and future evolutions of the universe.Chinese Survey Space Telescope (CSST), also known as Xuntian Space Telescope, is a space-based optical (光学的) observatory for astronomers to carry out sky surveys, capturing a general map or images of the sky.The CSST is a bus-sized facility with a length equal to that of a three-storied building. It has an aperture (孔径) of two meters, a bit smaller than the Hubble Space Telescope, but its field of view is 350 times larger than Hubble in area. “The field o f view is the area of the sky a telescope can see at one time,” said Li Ran, project scientist of the CSST Scientific Data Reduction System. “Hubble’s field of view is approximately one percent of the size of a fingernail at an arm’s length, thereby the te lescope, in its thirties, observed only a tiny part of the sky.” Li added.The telescope, during its normal observations, will fly independently in the same orbit as China’s space station but will maintain a large distance apart. Li said the telescope was designed, in its initial plan, to be placed on the space station, but there would be disadvantages such as vibration, potential pollution and line-of-sight block from the space station. The CSST can land on the space station for refueling and servicing as needed.“The telescope can bring China’s research in optical astronomy to the forefront of the world and help cultivate (培养) world-class Chinese scientists,” Li noted. “It can also take breathtaking visible pictures, allowing the public to directly feel an d understand the universe.”1. What can the CSST be used for?A．Getting general map of the Earth. B．Aiding sky investigation.C．Refueling the Chinese space station. D．Providing support for the universeevolution.2. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The visual field of Hubble. B．The usable life span of a telescope.C．The advantages of the CSST. D．The size of the aperture of Xuntian.3. Why does the CSST fly independently in space?A．To learn how to fly safely. B．To land accurately.C．To get higher quality pictures. D．To avoid potential negative influence.4. What is the significance of the CSST?A．It can help to train the world’s astronomy scientists.B．It will promote China’s ability in optical device making.C．It will give the public chances to observe the universe directly.D．It will help China hold a leading position in optical astronomy.5. Harvesting fruits is a very demanding job. If pickers are not available, fruits will rot on the trees. But with pickers in short supply in recent years, growers needed to quickly find another way to harvest their fruits. 1An Israeli company Tevel has developed these flying autonomous robots. The robots fly over a tree and pick fruits with its arms. They are fitted with cameras that use AI to assess the size and color of the fruit. 2 In addition, they can collect more fruits than a picker during a given time.3 The flying robots are connected to a platform that acts as the power source so that they never run out of power. They will work all day and night in any weather without taking a break.Dozens of these smart robots can be used across an orchard (果园) during the time when the fruit is ready to be harvested. The farmers just need to tell the company how many flying robots they need and how long they will use. 4The robots arc now picking pears in Israel. The company also plans to add more tasks to the robot’s function. 5 In the future, fewer people will work in picking and more people will work in managing the robots, analyzing the data and making decisions.6.

湖北省武汉市新洲区问津联合体2023-2024学年高二下学期5月月考英语试题
湖北省武汉市新洲区问津联合体2023-2024学年高二下学期5月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Hong Kong has the largest collection of high-rise buildings on Earth, many of which have been designed by world-famous architects.HSBC Headquarters BuildingIn 1979, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation(HSBC) launched an international design competition for its new headquarters. Foster +Partners, headed by architect Sir Norman Foster, won the competition with an out-of-the-box idea. With a budget of roughly S667 million in the day’s currency, the British visionary had the modular (模块化的) pieces constructed in the US, Japan and the UK before shipping them to Hong Kong for assembly (组装).The HendersonZaha Hadid Architects(ZHA) has revealed plans to replace a multi-story car park in Hong Kong’s central business district with a new 623-foot tower. Like so many of ZHA’s visionary projects, the office tower, completed in 2023,integrates technology with natural environments. For instance, there is a sky garden which is an outdoor recreational space with a running track and a planting network that acts as an effective biological air-purifying filter by consuming pollutants.Two International Finance CentreOn a clear day, you can see straight across Hong Kong from the offices in Two International Finance Center(2IFC), completed in 2003. Designed by the late Cesar Pelli, the 1,352-foot tower was the tallest in the city upon its completion. It transformed the skyline when it opened with its breath taking height and tapered (锥形的) shape, symbolizing Hong Kong’s rise.Bank of China TowerThe 1,205-foot tower, completed in 1990,broke records at the time and became an instant landmark as the first tower over 985 feet outside North America. A vision of urban energy, expansion and geometry, the Bank of China Tower(BOC Tower)was designed to resemble a bamboo shoot, symbolizing strength, vitality and China’s emergence as a significant player in international finance.1．What is special about the HSBC Headquarters Building?A．It was designed by several architect teams.B．It was funded by countries across the world.C．Its style was considered to be the most creative.D．Its design was a winning work of a competition.2．Which building combines technology with nature ?A．HSBC Headquarters Building.B．The Henderson.C．Two International Finance Centre.D．Bank of China Tower.3．What do the BOC Tower and 2IFC have in common?A．They are known for being eco-friendly.B．They were completed in the same century.C．They used to be the tallest in Hong Kong.D．They were designed by the same architect.When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would nevernormally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.4．What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?A．The play.B．The shared house.C．The sofa.D．The telephone box.5．Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006?A．To place an urgent call.B．To put up a notice.C．To shelter from the rain.D．To hold an audition.6．What do we know about the “mini community library”?A．It provides phone service for free.B．Anyone can contribute to its collection.C．It is popular among young readers.D．Books must be returned within a month. 7．Why did the author start to use the “library”?A．He wanted to borrow some love stories.B．He was encouraged by a close neighbour.C．He found there were excellent free books.D．He thought it was an ideal place for reading.Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity.The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range ofindividuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony?From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hate and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged (不和的) accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.As an important note, when we take a classical philosophical perspective, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, in real situations, develops with practice.8．What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness?A．People should offer mercy to others.B．Aggressive people should learn to forgive.C．Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity.D．People who forgive can have their own welfare affected.9．What does the example in Paragraph 3 illustrate?A．To fight is to grow.B．To give is to receive.C．To forgive is to abuse.D．To dominate is to harm.10．What is the writer’s attitude toward forgiveness?A．Favorable.B．Reserved.C．Objective.D．Skeptical. 11．What message does the last paragraph convey?A．Forgiveness is in our nature.B．Forgiveness grows with time.C．It takes practice to forgive.D．Actuality is based on potentiality.If you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do humans pour onto our planet’s surface? The second question is easier to answer: a lot.Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur.But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice? That’s where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze.Beyond rock salt’s ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water.Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and they’re perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition — a Herculean task when winter brings its worst. 12．What’s the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2?A．To introduce the topic.B．To give some evidence.C．To define the phenomenon.D．To reveal the misconception.13．How does salt work to disturb the process of freezing?A．By lowering the temperature.B．By melting and splitting itself.C．By lining up to form a solid structure.D．By stopping the formation of the structure. 14．What does the underlined word “densities” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Concentrations.B．Weights.C．Qualities.D．Salts. 15．What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about?A．Other salts won’t disturb local ecology.B．Efforts are being made to guarantee safe travels.C．Many alternatives are available to solve the problem.D．Bitter winter make it impossible to secure road safety.How to Increase Your Levels of OptimismThe way in which you achieve your goals, face challenges, and overcome failures depends largely on your levels of optimism. Not everyone sees life in the same way. 16 Change your negative thoughts. Your mind takes in negative memories and makes them bigger and more significant than they really are. 17 The next step is to reduce them by comparing them to related or similar memories that are more pleasant. In this way, you gradually change them and select new thoughts. This requires a learning process that’ll take some time to practice. However, with patience, you’ll achieve the desired results.Express gratitude. When you face a challenge, it’s advisable to figure out what’s going well. By taking the time to do this, you allow yourself to register the positive aspects that you experience. To help your brain store these positive events, you should take time each week to analyze what you should be grateful for. 18Repeat positive affirmations(肯定). One key element for increasing your levels of optimism that you get with previous two steps is positive affirmations. In fact, these messages that you repeat to yourself most regularly are the ones that you believe in and that determine your vision of life. 19 You can start with one or two affirmations that represent the values you want to live by and the goals you want to achieve. For example, tell yourself “Every day I’m improving” or “I’m living my best moment”. 20 Furthermore, it’ll make you stronger in the face of them and you’ll maintain your optimism.A．People tend to hold the same attitude towards life.B．However, you can always train your mind to generate or maintain optimism.C．They must be repeated with strong belief and be a constant in your daily life.D．First you should figure out what matters in your life and focus on positive messages. E．Therefore, every time you have negative thoughts, analyze and view them more objectively. F．The next step is to let your loved ones know that you love them and you’re grateful to them. G．The repetition of phrases similar to these will allow your mind to interpret negative events differently.二、完形填空She could have just quit. The race was long 21 , and it was raining cats and dogs.

It was dangerous, back-breaking work that paid very little. In the year I had worked there only four other people hadn't quit and been replaced with new faces. Those of us who stayed did so only because there was no other work to find to support our families.On this day the fans weren't working and all of us were covered in sweat and sawdust. When I looked around every face I saw looked angry and frustrated. Suddenly,a voice called out:“Hey! There's a deer in here.” A lost little doe had wandered through the open loading bay doors and was now cowering(蜷缩）in between the huge stacks of wood. All of us stopped working and went looking for her as she ran about looking for a way out.Now most people where I live hunt deer for meat in the fall, but also treat them with great kindness the rest of the year. Many will even buy 50lb bags of corn to help feed them during the harsh winter months. It was no surprise then that all of us were soon quickly working together to free this little doe. By blocking off all the other routes we were able to guide her panic search back to the open bay doors. We watched as she jumped out of the building and back into the woods. Then we walked back in to work. I noticed something, though. On every face there was a joyful smile. It was as if this one single act of kindness had energized us again and reminded us of what life is all about.1. Why were few people willing to work in the wood mill?A．They wanted more freedom.B．They didn't like the boss.C．The pay and conditions were bad.D．They wanted more pleasure.2. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A．The workers often saw a deer there.B．The deer was a light to the dull work.C．The deer was trapped in a big well.D．All the workers wanted to catch the deer.3. How did the men free the deer in the end?A．By opening one route.B．By dropping some food.C．By using familiar signals.D．By imitating another deer.4. Which of the following best describes the workers?A．Bad-tempered but patient.B．Hard-working and loving.C．Cautious and courageous.D．Bad-tempered and demanding.3. People who have kids live longer than those who remain childless, an academic study has suggested. Researchers believe it is because adults’ immune systems are “refreshed” when kids go to nursery and start picking up infections.During the course of someone’s life, their immune system can become weaker. But when kids start bringing infections home, their parents’ immune systems get a workout. Non-parents — unless they are teachers or nurses perhaps — do not get the same exposure to infection.Writing in the journal Scientific Reports, Miguel Portela said parents had less risk of dying from infection than non-parents and if they did, it was about five years later. He said that “a parent’s immune system is refreshed by a child’s infections at a time when their own protection starts wearing thin.” He added, “With this improved immune system, the parent has a better chance to defend whatever infections that might strike when old and weak and parenthood is rewarded in individual terms through an improved immunization against infe ctions.” Naturally there are other reasons why some people live longer than others, but they may not be comparable with becoming a parent. The academics say that high income and house ownership are always associated with higher survival but less so than having children.Mr. Portela admits the research is far from complete, saying that while the results “record a relationship between the presence of children and death rate, the specific transmission mechanisms remain unclear. He acknowledges the presence of other, perhaps behavioral factors in parents which result in changed death rate compared to individuals without children.” He adds, “While the relationships of lifestyle choices such as smoking, obesity, drinking and other behavioral factors with life expectancy and causes of death are well studied and understood, the same cannot be said for the individual decision to become a parent”.1. Why did Mr. Portela say “parents had less risk of dying from infection than non-parents”?A．Parents have healthier lifestyles.B．Parents have less exposure to infection.C．Parents have higher ability to fight against infections.D．Parents have less experience to fight against infections.2. How are parents protected against infections?A．By being exposed to their kids’ infection. B．By working out with their kids.C．By refreshing their kids’ life.D．By strengthening their kids’ infection.3. What can we infer from the research?A．Rich life benefits parents more than having children.B．Lack of sleep has nothing to do with life expectancy.C．The presence of children can improve parents’ healthD．Behavioral factors contribute to higher death rate than having no children.4. What’s the best title for the passage?A．Parents and Non-parents B．How to Achieve Longer Life Expectancy?C．How Is Parents’ Immune Systems Changed? D．Children’s Effect on Parents’ Immune System4. Not long ago, no one understood that infectious diseases were caused by tiny organisms that moved from person to person. Even now, although we know that tiny living microbes cause disease, how they do so is not always obvious. 1 They can also be transmitted through our skin through insect or animal bites. The best way to prevent infections is to block pathogens(病菌)from entering the body.The first line of defense is to keep germs at bay by following good personal health habits. Wash your hands well. You probably wash your hands after using the bathroom, before preparing or eating food, and after gardening or other dirty tasks. 2 Wet your hands thoroughly. Lather(泡沫)up with soap or cleanser, and rub it into the palms and backs of your hands and your wrists. Be sure to clean your fingertips, under your nails and between your fingers. Wash under running water. 3Whether you are young or young at heart, getting vaccinated(接种疫苗)is an essential part of staying healthy. 4 such as a temporarily sore arm or low fever, they are generally safe and effective. Vaccinations are essential if you are to avoid getting sick. In general, children should receive the recommended childhood vaccinations. Adults should make sure their vaccinations are up to date. When traveling abroad, check with your health care provider about additional immunizations(免疫).5 Stay clear of wild animals. Many wild animals, including bats, foxes and coyotes, can spread the virus to humans by biting. Keep your pets away from wild animals, too. Dogs, cats or any other type of warm-blooded animal can pick up the virus and pass the virus along to people.5.

Perhaps the best way 2 (understand) Western art is to look at the development of Western painting over the centuries. During the Middle Ages, artists were not interested in 3 (paint) realistic scenes. This began to change in the 13th centurywith Giotto di Bondone, whose paintings 4 (show) real people in a real environment. Next camethe Renaissance, when new ideas and values gradually replaced old 5 (one) from the Middle Ages. Painters adopted a 6 (humanistic) attitude to life, using perspective and oil paints. The emphasis 7 (increasing) shifted from religious themes to people and the world around us. After the invention of photography, paintings were no longer needed 8 (preserve) what people and the world looked like. As a result, Impressionism emerged in France. The name of this new movement came from 9 painting by Claude Monet called Impression, Sunrise. In this work, Monet’s aim was to convey the light and movement in the scene.
