第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)(改编)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

You haven’t truly visited a city until you’ve experienced its nightlife. Watching a big city like London gradually turn dark and darker into the night is a beautiful journey of time and light. So how about taking a historical evening walk and touching some of the nicest areas in central London? Let’s get started. 6:30 pm

The walk starts on the Millennium Bridge. On the bridge, watch the scenic city across the River Thames with the skyscrapers gradually lighting up against the darkening skies.

The Millennium Bridge has been featured in many London-based films, including Harry Potter, and the film Guardians of the Galaxy.

7:30 pm

It’s getting dark. A fifteen-minute walk northwest from St Paul’s Cathedral takes you to the historic Borough Market. During the evenings, you find a lot of restaurants around the market. This is an excellent time to get your dinner.

9:00 pm

The next stop is London Bridge. This is about 6 minutes’ walk from the Borough Market. As you join other onlookers and mentally go through the nursery school rhyme of “London Bridge is Falling Down”, you get lost again in history. Why does the song say London Bridge is falling and who is the fair lady?

During the London city fire of 17, London Bridge served an important role in fire control. It was one of the major structures that prevented the fire from crossing over to the other side of London. 11:30 pm

London never sleeps; it’s a few minutes to midnight and everywhere is still

2020-2021学年下期高2022级七校期末英语试题 第3页 共 10 页

filled with people moving around. About four minutes away from the Golden Jubilee Bridges is Trafalgar Square, our next stop. 12:00 am

It’s been a beautiful evening, hasn’t it?

21.Where can you visit a Guardians of the Galaxy filming location? A. In the St Paul’s Cathedral. B. On the Millennium Bridge. C. In the Borough Market. D. On the Golden Jubilee Bridges. 22. What can be learned about the Borough Market? A. It is far from London Bridge. B. It is related to a famous song. C. It is an ideal place for dinner. D. It is a modern open-air market. 23.What is the main purpose of the text? A. To show London’s colorful culture. B. To introduce the scenery in London. C. To ask people to do outdoor activities. D. To recommend a night tour in London.

B

In the summer of 2016, I gave a talk at a small conference in northern Virginia. I began by admitting that I’d never had a social-media account; I then outlined arguments for why other people should consider removing social media from their lives. The event organizers uploaded the video of my talk to YouTube. Then it was shared repeatedly on Facebook and Instagram and, eventually, viewed more than five million times. I was both pleased and annoyed by the fact that my anti-social-media talk had found such a large audience on social media.

I think of this event as typical of the love-hate relationships many of us have with Facebook, Instagram, and other social-media platforms. On the one hand, we’ve grown cautious about the so-called attention economy, which, in the name of corporate(公司的) profits, destroys social life gradually and offends privacy. But we also benefit from social media and hesitate to break away from it completely. Not long ago, I met a partner at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., who told me that she keeps Instagram on her phone because she misses her kids when she travels; looking through pictures of them makes her feel better.

In recent months, some of the biggest social-media companies, Facebook and Twitter, in particular, have promised various reforms. In March, Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan to move his platform toward private communication protected by end-to-end encryption(端对端加密); later that month, he put forward the establishment of a third-party group to set standards for acceptable content.

All of these approaches assume that the reformation of social media will be a complex, lengthy, and gradual process. But not everyone sees it that way. Alongside these official responses, a loose collective of developers that calls itself the IndieWeb has been creating another alternative. They are developing their own

2020-2021学年下期高2022级七校期末英语试题 第4页 共 10 页

social-media platforms, which they say will preserve what’s good about social media while getting rid of what’s bad. They hope to rebuild social media according to principles that are less corporate and more humane(人道的).

24. Why did the author feel annoyed when his video was spread online? A. His video caused many arguments.

B. His video was shared without his permission.

C. His talk was opposed by a large amount of people.

D. His video’s popularity on social media is against his talk.

25. Why does the author mention the story of his partner in paragraph 2? A. To prove that social media has some benefits.

B. To advise people to break away from social media. C. To tell the negative effects social media may produce.

D. To describe people’s complicated relationships with social media.

26. What is the purpose of the reform made by some social-media companies? A. To attract more users. B. To improve network environment. C. To make more profits. D. To provide more convenient service. 27. What does the IndieWeb intend to do? A. Develop new social-media platforms. B. Remove social media from people’s lives. C. Improve the existing social-media principles.

D. Help social-media companies to make reformation.

C

Sometimes people make history. George Washington became the first president of the United States and made history. Sometimes wars make history. The two World Wars are examples. Sometimes nature even becomes part of history. Shaking earthquakes are recorded in history books.

Sixteen years ago, nature caused just such a history-making event. In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina came ashore in New Orleans, Louisiana. The deadly storm flooded New Orleans. Before Katrina, no other big American city had ever flooded in the history of the country. This natural disaster caused great harm and death.

New Orleans is located below sea level. This location places it at great risk. Levees were built to protect New Orleans from the ocean. (A levee is like a wall between the city and the ocean.) When Hurricane Katrina came ashore, water moved over the levees into the city. Flooding made it necessary for everyone to leave the city. Before Katrina, Creole food (a special kind of cooking only in Louisiana) filled the air with delicious smells. The sound of jazz music traveled through the streets. Now the city has to return to its former glory.

Before Katrina, the U.S. government had never made everyone leave a city. People in New Orleans had to find shelter quickly. Some had to stay at the

2020-2021学年下期高2022级七校期末英语试题 第5页 共 10 页

Superdome Sports Center. Some rode on buses to other towns. Thousands drove their cars to get away from the storm. The roads and shelters filled up fast.

The lesson learned from Katrina was that cities must be better prepared for big storms and other terrible disasters caused by nature. Being prepared might have kept more people safe. Hurricane Katrina is one of the history-making events that will be remembered forever. Today, history is still being made that will shape the future.

28. What does the author tell us about New Orleans? A. It was built above sea level.

B. It had few jazz musicians after Katrina.

C. It was the first U.S. city that had been flooded. D. It created a wholly new way to cook after Katrina. 29. What can we say about the levees?

A. They were almost useless for fighting Katrina. B. They helped people leave New Orleans quickly. C. They made New Orleans a special American city.

D. They should be built to match the size of New Orleans. 30.What might the author advise city governments to do? A. Put up more shelters in the city. B. Build more levees around the city. C. Teach people how to avoid floods. D. Try to get ready for natural disasters. 31. What is the best title for the text?

A. Storms are dangerous B. Katrina makes history C. Floods shape Louisiana D. History must be remembered

D

Did you know people who live in different parts of China have different habits and preferences? For example, people from southern China prefer to eat vegetables, while people from north China like to eat meat. According to a new study in a journal, gene variations(变异) might be responsible for these differences. Researchers from China’s BGI collected genetic information from 141,431 Chinese women, who came from 31 provinces and consisted of 36 ethnic minority groups.

They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have developed, affecting their food preferences, immunities(免疫力) to illness and physical features.

A variation of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people. It helps people metabolize(新陈代谢) fatty acids, which suggests a diet that is rich in flesh. This is due to climate differences. Northern China is at a higher latitude. This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in. Therefore, northerners tend to eat more meat.

The study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups. Most people in southern China carry the gene CR1, which protects against malaria.

2020-2021学年下期高2022级七校期末英语试题 第6页 共 10 页

Malaria was once quite common in southern China. In order to survive, the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease. However, people in the south are also more sensitive to certain illnesses, as they lack the genes to stop them.

Genes can also cause physical differences between northerners and southerners. Most northerners have the ABCC11 gene, which causes dry earwax, less body smell and fewer sweats. These physical differences are also more beneficial to living in cold environments. Southerners are less likely to have this gene, as it did not develop in their population.

32. What did the new study focus on? A. Regions. B. Eating habits. C. Gene variations. D. Ethnic minority groups. 33. What is the main function of the gene FADS2?

A. It helps store fat. B. It helps digest meat. C. It helps gain weight. D. It helps treat an illness. 34. According to the study, most northerners __________. A. sweat less frequently B. are immune to malaria C. prefer vegetables to meat D. are more sensitive to climates 35. How many differences did the study find related to genes? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 第二节 七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）(改编)

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Being a leader can be exhausting. Serving as a role model can leave leaders feeling tired and in need of refreshment. 36 . Fortunately, research provides the answer.

In their leisure time, leaders need to stop drawing on the resources they used up at work. 37 . For example, Bill Gates takes regular “Think Weeks”, during which he stays alone in a remote cabin.

38 . Needs come in two forms—physical and psychological. Physical needs include things like sleep. An adequate amount of sleep may be the most important recovery mechanism. Leaders also have the psychological needs to feel competent and to have satisfying relationships. Reshma Saujani, the CEO of Girls Who Code, satisfies her needs to freely select activities by scheduling “me time” with herself.

Leaders need to relax. 39 . If leaders are away from the office but still answering emails and responding to texts, they can’t get psychologically relaxed and won’t be fully refreshed. Mark Cuban accomplishes this by putting away his phone when he’s at home. This allows him to distance himself from work.

40 . Hobbies let us take advantage of resources that are different from 2020-2021学年下期高2022级七校期末英语试题 第7页 共 10 页

For many years, China applied a one-child policy as a way 56 (control) the population. But that policy 57 (replace) in 2016 with a two-child limit. That change was aimed at raising the number of births. 58 , birth rates have further decreased in recent years as the cost of raising children in Chinese cities remains high.

The latest measure to permit three children per family is meant “to 59 (active) deal with the aging population,” the official Xinhua News Agency reported. The policy includes 60 the government calls “supportive measures” to make it easier for families to have more children. The measures include plans to lower educational costs for families and increase tax and housing support. The government also said it would seek to educate young people “on 61 (marry) and love.”

Yifei Li, 62 sociologist at New York University Shanghai, said that most families did not plan to have more children in recent years due 63 “the incredibly high costs of raising children in today’s China”. Another problem was that women carried most of the responsibility for raising children.

Economists say that China, along with Thailand and some other Asian economies, (face) concerns that it could grow old before it gets 65 (wealth).

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“If mum finds out that I’m going to the beach, I’ll be in big trouble.” I said to myself in a low voice. I went downstairs slowly and tried to walk casually into the kitchen. As I was walking towards the back door, mum asked without looking up from her dish-washing, “Where are you going?” I answered back without hesitation, “I am going to the garden to play.” After I got out of the kitchen, I breathed a sigh of relief. My plan had worked out fine so far. I climbed the fence and jumped onto the muddy field next to my house and started running towards the bus stop at top speed.

After half an hour I was at the beach scanning the crowd for my friends, Jimmy and Bob. I spotted two young men racing in the canoes(独木舟) in the sea. After a while, I saw my friends near a coconut tree. I ran towards them. For about an hour, we played volleyball happily.

Suddenly, Bob hit the ball too hard and the ball fell into the sea. Just as Bob was going to pick up the ball, the tide came in and carried the ball further and further away from the shore. I wanted to show off my swimming skills so I declared to help get the ball for them.

I dived into the water and started swimming at a steady pace. After swimming for about ten minutes, I became tired but when I saw that the ball was only a few feet away from me, I put in an extra burst of speed. However, just as I was going to get the ball, a very strong current swept the ball further away from me. At that moment, a string of weed(海草) tangled(缠绕) up with my feet and I could not swim properly.

I struggled to keep afloat but it was no use. “If I had listened to my parents, this would never have happened,” I thought silently.

Paragraph 1: Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater.

应用文参考范文：

On July 1st, a singing competition was held in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China in the school hall, attracting great attention of all the teachers and students.

It was required that every class participate in the competition in the form of chorus(合唱) and the songs chosen should be representing our love for our Party and our country. All the classes, engaged in the preparation for the competition, went to adapt the music, conduct the stage design and rehearse to the piano accompaniment over and over again. Then came the big day---July 1st, when all the participants impressed the judges and audience with appropriate costumes, amazing team spirit and splendid power of their shows. Our class was eventually awarded the first prize in the finals after fierce competition.

There is no denying that China is becoming more and more prosperous and influential under the leadership of our Party. I am so proud of being a Chinese. Meanwhile, I think we should spare no effort to shoulder the burden and be a responsible youth.

Paragraph 1: Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got putted underwater. I told myself I should never give up. Then I pulled the weed again with great efforts. The weed finally broke. I swam back to the surface to take a deep breath. I was exhausted and shouted for help. The two young men who were racing each other in canoes saw me and raced towards me. By the time they reached me, I had been already unconscious.

Paragraph 2: When I woke up, I was in an empty room lying on a bed. It was not until a doctor came into the room that I realized that I was in a hospital. Jimmy and Bob told me the two young men brought me to the shore and sent me to the hospital. After a few minutes, my parents with half angry and half worried faces walked in. My parents scolded me for running out of the house secretly but were also glad that I was not seriously injured. I will never forget that terrifying experience. Neither will I ever want to show off again. All I want to do now is thank the two kind men who have saved my life.

W: Oh, it’s difficult. And I’m so upset. M: Why’s that? I thought you liked art.

W: I do, but the teacher gives us so many tasks. I can’t keep up. (Text 3)

M: Have you received the money I sent?

W: Yes, I just got it. It’s 500 dollars. But I may need another 500 dollars. Well, Dad, the thing is that the housing rent has gone up to 850 dollars.

M: Has it? OK then. I’ll send you another 500 dollars tomorrow. (Text 4)

M: Tell me a little more about New Zealand, Beth. I will go there next month.

W: Well, there are some excellent surfing beaches in the North Island. You can go boating in Auckland. And you should try jet boating in the South Island. (Text 5)

M: Tell me about your weekend.

W: On Saturday I had to do some housework and on Sunday it was hot so I went to the beach with some friends. And in the evening I watched TV for an hour. (Text 6)

M: What can I do for you?

W: My right ankle hurts. I think I twisted it while I was playing volleyball this morning.

M: Let me see. Yes, you’ve twisted it. There’s also injury on your arms. But that seems nothing serious. Anyway you must rest your feet for a couple of days.

W: So I should stay at home? It really hurts. Can you do anything about that? M: I’ll give you some painkillers. You can take them every four hours. W: Thank you.

M: You can also put ice on it to keep it cool. But don’t keep the ice on it for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a time. (Text 7)

W: OK. Would you like a middle seat?

M: Anything but a seat next to the washroom is fine with me. Well, do you still have seats close to the exit door?

W: Let me check on the computer. Yes, we have. And could you take the ticket this afternoon? M: I’m afraid I’m too busy. Do you offer home delivery service? W: Of course.

M: So please post it to my office. Thank you. (Text 8)

M: Excuse me, but I think I know you from somewhere. My name is Adam Miller.

W: Right. Mr. Miller. My name is Laura Elliot. I remember you. You gave a great presentation at the conference last November in San Francisco. It was really an impressive speech. You looked so confident.

M: Thanks for saying so. I’m going to attend this year’s conference next month. That’s on March 12th

me to present in front of such a large audience, so I’m kind of anxious. I’ll see you then. (Text 9)

M: Hi, Emily. What’s the matter? W: It’s this report. I just can’t do it. M: Why? Is it too difficult?

W: No, it’s not that. I just don’t have enough time. Our boss keeps on giving me extra work and I can’t manage it all.

M: Well, it looks like you have a communication problem when you are getting along with some people of our office. Have you tried talking to her? She might not even know that you’re too busy. W: No, I haven’t.

M: Well, I’d speak to her if I were you. She needs to know you feel overworked. W: OK. But in the meantime, what about this report?

M: Well, if you really don’t have enough time, I think you should ask for an extension on the deadline. (Text 10)

W: I had a special experience last night. My car engine suddenly stopped in the middle of a deserted road. When I got out of my car to check the engine, I accidentally locked myself out of my car! I was very nervous and scared, given that the road was so dark and quiet. The only thing I could do was sit by the road and hope someone would come by and help me. Luckily, a man drove by after about 20 minutes. He stopped and asked if he could lend a hand. He let me use his cell phone to call the rescue service. He even waited with me, keeping me company until the truck for rescue service arrived. What a wonderful, helpful man! Before he left, I offered to pay him for helping me, but he refused. He said it was his pleasure to help out a lady in trouble. All I could do was thank him over and over again. If it had not been for him, I could have been in real trouble. I asked him for his number and promised to meet him and have dinner sometime. I got very lucky that night, thanks to the stranger.
