第二部分英语知识运用（共三节，满分75分）

第一节阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

From writers to scientists, here are the amazing stories of women you may not know about, but certainly should.

Murasaki Shikibu

You may be familiar with lots of novels by male writers, from Mark Twain to Charles Dickens. But their works may not even have existed if it hadn’t been for Murasaki Shikibu, a Japanese woman widely considered to be the world’s first novelist. In addition to a two-part novel called The Tale of Genji, Shikibu also wrote a book of poems.

Maria Sibylla Merian

Today, children as young as preschool age can happily explain how a caterpillar (毛虫) turns into a butterfly. But there was a time when no one knew this — not even scientists. Until the 1670s, scientists thought that caterpillars and butterflies were two totally different creatures. Thanks to Maria Sibylla Merian, we know the truth about these beautiful insects.

Ada Lovelace

Ada Lovelace, born in 1815, was the daughter of famous British poet Lord Byron, but she wasn’t a poet herself. She was the world’s first computer programmer. Lovelace’s mathematical(数学的) talent was obvious at a young age and caught the attention of Charles

Babbage. Babbage designed the early computing machine that he hoped would be able to quickly solve math problems. In addition to helping Babbage design the early computer program, Lovelace was also the first to recognize that the machine might be able to do more than calculation.

Tu Youyou

Tu Youyou, born in 1930, became the first Chinese scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. In the 1970s, Tu worked to find a way to prevent the spread of malaria (疟疾). She discovered artemisinin(青蒿素), which is used in life-saving, malaria-fighting drugs around the world today.

21. What can we learn about Murasaki Shikibu?

A. She was a famous poet.

B. She was highly educated.

C. She was an award-winning writer.

D. She was a pioneer in novel writing.

22. What is Ada Lovelace best known for?

A. Her family background.

B. Her mathematical talent.

C. Her work on computer programming.

D. Her invention of computing machines.

23. Who made a great contribution to the prevention of a common disease?

A. Murasaki Shikibu.

B. Maria Sibylla Merian.

C. Ada Lovelace.

D. Tu Youyou.

B

After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.

During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles (障碍) and going for my dreams.

I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.

When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”

Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:

Dear Rick,

My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live anymor e. But I still smile as much as I can.

I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.

Your friend,

Mathew

B. he wanted to get a gold medal himself

C. he admired the author very much

D. he wanted the author to know him too

25. We can infer from the passage that ______.

C. Matthew was to become a champion before he died

D. After meeting Matthew, Rick regarded him as normal

26. The boy refused the author’s medal because ______.

A. he wanted the picture instead

B. he would not be pitied by others

A walker seriously injured in a mountain-top lightning strike which killed two others is showing signs of improvement, the police have said. A major rescue operation was performed on Sunday following two strikes which hit the Brecon Beacons, South Wales. Two men died, while two others were taken to hospital.

A police spokeswoman said, “A man in a serious condition in hospital, following simultaneous(同时发生的) incidents in the Brecon Beacons, has now improved and he is recovering. Officers are continuing to get in touch with the next of relatives of the dead men and enquiries are ongoing. All men were believed to be from England.”

Mark Jones, of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team, described the lightning strike as a freak accident, and something he had not been called out to in 30 years of service.

The walking group Ramblers Cymru said that while incidents involving thunder and lightning were rare, electrical storms should be taken seriously by walkers.

The organisation’s delivery officer, Elly Hannigan Popp, said, “We’d advise everyone to check the weather forecast before starting a walk. If you hear thunder, see lightning or if your hair stands on end, postpone activities even if the sky looks blue and clear. Lightning will strike as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Lightning can strike the same place repeatedly —especially tall, pointed, isolated objects.”

“If there is no shelter you should keep moving. And if you become the tallest object, crouch(蹲) in the open twice as far away from the nearest pointed object as it is tall. Make yourself as small as possible, stay on your toes and keep your heels together, as it will allow electricity to go up one foot, through the heels and back i nto the ground through the other.”

28. What can we learn about the victims of the incident?

A. Both of the injured men are recovering slowly.

B. The bodies of the two men haven’t been found.

C. The four men involved may be from the same country.

D. The pol ice cannot contact the two dead men’s relatives.

29. Why did the author quote the police spokeswoman in Paragraph 2?

A. Because the accident is very serious.

B. To announce where the victims come from.

C. Because the police are looking into the accident.

D. To tell the readers some facts of the incident.

30. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3?

A. Unusual.

B. Regular.

C. Unimportant.

D. Frightening.

31. What do the last two paragraphs tell us?

A. Harm done by lightning.

B. Warnings from a delivery officer.

C. First aid in a lightning incident.

D. Safety tips on a lightning strike.

D

Looking back on China’s road to outer space, people can easily find it has not been very smooth. In the past years, Chinese people have made hard and determined efforts to realize the dream their ancestors had for thousands of years.

After China’s first satellite into the Earth’s orbit in 1970 came four flights of unmanned Shenzhou missions from 1999 to 2002.The country carried out its first one-piloted space flight in 0ctober, 2003, making China the third country in the world to have independent human spaceflight ability after the Soviet Union and the United States. Then came another breakthrough oil October 12,2005, wh en Shenzhou 6, China’s’ second human spaceflight, was launched, with a crew of two astronauts.

1unar regolith(月壤)is abundant in helium-3, a clean fuel that may support the Earth’s energy demands for more than a century. Nearly 3 years later,Oct.1. 2010 witnessed the blasting off of Chang’e 2.China’s 2nd unmanned lunar probe, marking another step forward in moon exploration. This time the aim is to test the key techniques of Chang’e 3 and Chang’e 4, as a preparation for a soft lunar landing in the future.

People who experience face blindness can have a hard time in their social life. They have trouble remembering or recognizing faces. The term ‘face blindness’ isn’t exactly accurate though. 66 . They just can’t put all the parts together into one coherent image that they remember and recognize when they see it again, which is why proper name for face blindness is prosopagnosia, or literally “not knowing the face”.

67 These clues include the way they sound (their voice or accent), the way they look (body size, shape or height), the way they smell, their clothing, their hair(style, colour or length) and obvious features on their face(beards, piercings

heavy eyebrow, glasses).

68 Because they’re not always unique to one person and they can change. This is why face blindness can cause so much stress.

If you don’t experience face blindness, you’ve probably never given much thought to your ability to recognize familiar people or how important that is to your social interactions and feelings of safety. But imagine if you didn’t know whether the person approaching you is a friend or a stranger. 69 . Or imagine not being able to find the teacher when you need to use the toilet, because your teacher wears glasses and none of the adults in the room are wearing glasses today. 70 .

A. These are important ways to remember someone’s face.

B. Do you say hello or just keep on walking?

C. Those with face blindness have to use other clues to recognize people.

D. It’s easy to see the effect this would have on your social skills and confidence.

E. These are much less effective ways to recognize someone.

F. There are tests you can take to get an idea about your face-recognizing abilities.

G. They actually can see faces.

Sure, it’s good t o get along with your teacher 81 it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to approach different 82 (type) of people you’ll meet throughout your life.

But really, there’s one super-important reason 83 you should do it. Kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re 84 (comfortable) in asking questions and getting more help. This makes 85 easier to understand new materials and do your best on tests.

As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge (海绵), able to take in lots of new and 86 (excite) information. Besides, you’re able to think about all these information 87 new ways.

In most cases, your teacher is happy to be the person who’s giving you all materials and 88 (help) you put them together. Remember, teachers are people, too. They feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they 89 (want) to be teachers when they were in school—to teach!

书面表达

A good habit, a successful life

A habit is something that you do often or regularly almost without thinking, especially something that is hard to stop doing.

Developing good habits of learning is necessary for us. First of all, we should concentrate our attention in class, which will help us better understand what teachers say. Also, we are supposed to make the best of the time for independent study, which can improve our ability to learn by ourselves. Finally, we are encouraged to finish homework alone.

At the same time, good habits of living are also good for our life. Healthy eating along with regular exercise is probably the only way to become fit. What is more, a good amount of sleep every night is also important for our health, for it makes us feel energetic and well prepared for the day to come.

Good habits have a positive effect on our life. Once a good habit is formed, it will give us power to control ourselves and get rid of bad habits. If we insist on behaving ourselves properly, we are sure to live a successful life.

江苏省盐城市大丰区新丰中学2019-2020学年高一上学期期中语文试题(解析版)

江苏省盐城市大丰区新丰中学2019-2020学年高一上学期期中 语文试题 一、现代文阅读 （一）论述类文本阅读 阅读下面文字，完成下列小题。 江南文化的特性是在与北方文化以及与荆楚文化等的比较中显现出来的。江南文化是一种诗性文化， 主要体现在人的饱满的感性审美，与放达沉稳的现实诉求以及与清丽秀美的自然环境的和谐统一。江南文 化在与主流的北方伦理文化相抗衡中，以柔克刚，“越名教而任自然”，从而自晋室南渡以来逐渐占据了 中国文化的制高点。 江南文化给予历代文人以极大的审美愉悦和精神享受。陈望衡在《江南文化的美学品格》中认为，“江南概念主要是审美的。江南文化从主调来看，是一种审美文化”。这真正抓住了江南文化的审美和诗性本 色。美国学者费正清认为，中原体制文化的大传统和东南沿海地区相对自由的小传统构成了中国文化的某 种张力，促进了中国文化在互补中的发展。而江南文化就处于费正清所说的东南沿海地区的核心地带。 这种相对自由的文化小传统自宋代以来一直处在引领中国教育、文化和经济的地位，到明清时期达到 高峰。如有清一代，全国共产生(文)状元115名，江南文化圈所属三省(苏、浙、皖)的状元数为78名，占全国的67．83％。这些数据说明，到清代时，江南在文化教育方面已远远领先于其他地方。这些状元以及 出身此地的进士大多进入中国的政治领域，同时他们在经济领域亦叱咤风云。 这种重学崇文的传统影响所及，到晚清和民国，苏浙两省的现代文学家可谓灿若群星。如鲁迅、茅盾、郁达夫、周作人、徐志摩等，均是一流的文学家。江南文化自古迄今所形成的底蕴和特色，也深刻地渗透 进了当代中国先锋文学家，尤其是那些出生在江南文化圈的先锋作家的骨髓当中。 首先，江南文化培育出了中国独特的文学信仰维度。这种信仰渗透进先锋文学家的血液中便引发了当 代先锋文学的持续发展和深化。在20世纪80年代中后期，先锋文学在全国有遍地开花之势，各地不少作 家都进行过先锋实验性写作，但时至今日大多已偃旗息鼓。而成长于江南文化圈的先锋作家如苏童、格非、叶兆言、余华、王安忆等，创作势头仍然不减，且先锋性显明。 这是一种基于对文学的信仰所带来的执着，这种信仰来源于对江南诗性文化的深切记忆和感恩情怀。 江南迷离的山水和氤氲的烟树，温和的气候与鱼米之多，构成了这种准宗教氛围的外在地理和风物条件。 在对文学的追求中，自古以来的江南文化漫透着不同于北方的洒脱和空灵，那些生息于此的当代先锋文学 家们同样承继了这样一份精神遗产。

You would think people like this have special brains. But accordingto a recent study by researchers from the US and the Netherlands, the brain structuresof ordinary people and 23 of the world’s leading memory athletes show no difference. That’s because good memories can be trained. New research inthe journal Neuron suggests that you can become a super memorizer with just sixweeks of hard training. Researchers found that technique called loci, invented by ancient Greeks,can greatly help improve memory. By using loci, you are using your imagination toimprove the brain’s memory ne tworks.

期中英语考试卷及答案

英语期中考试试卷 Part I Reading Comprehension (10×4 = 40) Passage One Television has opened windows in everybody's life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen. Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and her the politicians before tan election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count. Unfortunately, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs.
