Use the facility in Ardsley.‎ ‎22. What do the last three activities have in common?‎ A. They are intended for adults. B. They mainly focus on learning.‎ C. They offer various free snakes. D. They have professional employees.‎ ‎23. From which is the text most probably taken?‎ ‎ A. A website B. A research paper C. A newspaper D. A travel magazine B We’ve done it: we buy something we think we like and then change our minds about it. Fortunately, many sellers allow us to easily exchange or return products. Actually, it’s so easy these days that sellers are seeing an increase in the serial returner.‎ A serial returner is someone who buys products, often in large numbers, only to return most of them. 41-year-old Hester Grainger, founder of Mumala Club, spends about £300 to £400 each month on clothes, but returns around 80%. Barclaycard, which holds nearly half of the UK’s bank card businesses, reported that in the last two years 26% of sellers have seen an increase in in-store and on-line returns with the number of products being sent back up by 22%.‎ It’s a hard problem for sales companies. Returns eat into profits. Free transportation of products for the customer means the company foots the bill. Products may need to be packed again and some of them may be damaged, making them unfit for sale again. Besides, sometimes the fast-developing fashion has moved on. By the time the product comes back, it becomes a cut-price product, bringing extra loss to the sales company.‎ Some sales companies are taking action to stop this behavior. According to a BBC report, four in ten companies now say they charge for returns to stop the returns of products without quality problems. Online marketer Amazon was reported to have started refusing to serve customers with too many returned products. And Barclaycard says a third of sellers have hiked their prices to cover these returns. ‎ But Vicky Brock who is a director of ReBound Returns, a returns management software system, believes this isn’t the best strategy. Speaking in a BBC article, she says stopping returns shows the sellers have little understanding of customers. Companies can reduce returns by helping customers choose better. Finally, she says, returns are now as much a part of the shopping experience as buying things, and shops should take this into consideration.‎ 24. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Customers have a changeable mind. B. Products online are of low quality.‎ C. Serial returners are on the rise. D. The sellers’ attitude to returners is acceptable 25. The author mentions Barclaycard to show ________.‎ A. people have a great interest in bank cards B. in-store products would not be returned C. Hester Grainger isn’t a particular case D. how much money people have spent in the last two years 24. In Vicky Brock’s opinion, ________.‎ A. returns are normal and understandable B. customers and sellers should understand each other C. forbidding returns is a right decision made by marketers D. online shopping experience needs to be further improved.‎ C ‎ Many science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or eDNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.‎ ‎ Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.‎ ‎ Caren Goldberg is one of the first biologists to take the technology from the testing stage to actually using it. She sees eDNA as a way to get answers more efficiently and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on snorkeling (潜水), netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.‎ ‎ This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the eDNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden treefrogs. In Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian(两栖动物)diseases.‎ ‎ Ms Goldberg has used eDNA testing to confirm the local extinction (灭绝) of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mudsnail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways ‎ across the state.‎ ‎ Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.‎ ‎27. Compared to traditional survey techniques, eDNA is more______. ‎ A. complex B. eco-friendly C. dangerous D. convincing ‎28. By using eDNA, Caren Goldberg has______. ‎ A. succeeded in catching many fishes ‎ B. found the existence of golden tree frogs C. documented the spread of softshell turtles D. confirmed the disappearance of the leopard frog in Idaho ‎29. What can we infer from the last paragraph? ‎ A. Robots will replace scientists soon. ‎ B. Some scientists are against using eDNA.‎ C. The old-fashioned field work may disappear.‎ D. Many biologists are unwilling to do the field work.‎ ‎30. What is the best title for the text? ‎ A. Science Fiction Becomes Reality for Species Surveys B. Biologists Explore Space with the Help of eDNA C. Scientists Found Methods to Test for Signs of Life D. New Technologies Are Presented in Science Fictions 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ A recent survey shows that roughly 85 percent of people feel physical symptoms of stress.‎ ‎ 31 and they will help you feel more energetic tomorrow:‎ Double your chews Chewing is a super important part of digesting process. Chewing makes it easier for your body to break down food and turn it into energy. The most proper number of chews per bite is unclear. 32 . It will be easy for your body to break down the food and store energy.‎ Drink one less cup of coffee Although caffeine in coffee blocks your brain from receiving adenosine, which causes tiredness, it doesn’t stop your body from producing it. So once the caffeine disappears, it’s the build-up of adenosine that causes you to crash and reach for more coffee, creating a bad circle. 33 but drinking less coffee can help you feel more energetic in the long term.‎ Take a few deep breaths By not breathing deeply enough, you end up sending a signal to your nervous system that increases your anxiety even further. Changing your breathing habits by taking a few long, slow breaths throughout the day reduces the stress response while energizing your cells. 34 : Simply breathe in through your nose for a count of three and out through your mouth for a count of three. Repeat if necessary.‎ ‎ 35 ‎ Take some time to reflect on the positive by writing down three things that went smoothly during your day or just items you feel grateful for. This exercise can prepare your mind for what’s going right in your life, putting the brakes on stress increases while helping to protect your energy reserves.‎ A. Set down what went well today B. Try an exercise to achieve this ‎ C. Reflect on your day sometimes D. Reducing your reliance on it sounds scary E. Take a look at the small changes you can make today F. Shallow breathing is one of the annoying side effects of stress G. However, it’s been suggested that 25 to 40 times will be beneficial 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20个小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C 和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I will never forget one summer in my childhood.

LeBron James, the famous American basketball star, for instance, earns an income of more than 20 million dollars a year. Some people hold the view that these stars do not deserve the high pay that they are getting. Some even argue that sports stars do nothing to society apart from entertaining people. Their contribution to society are much less than those made by doctors, firemen, scientists, professors, etc. But I can never agree with that.‎ While sports are for entertainment, it does not mean that they are not important to people’s life. Why do so many people go to see football matches and NBA games? It is because they enjoy the games, and they are willing to pay to watch the performances. Because of the sports stars, our life becomes more exciting. Some sports stars gain honor for their country, and their countrymen are proud of them. They contribute to the spiritual well-being of their people.‎ What’s more, sports stars usually are at the top of level in their fields. In this world, you have to pay if you want the best. It is the same with sports. Skills in sports are like the skills in works of art. People will not say that Da Vinci’s painting Mona Lisa was bought for too much money. Most stars are skilled in their own field not only because of their talents but also because of their hard training. They have to keep performing at their peak to earn that good income.‎ Their influence on the national economy can not be overlooked. Take NBA in America for example, the stars help to support not only the basketball industry, but also other related industries like sportswear and sports equipment. Sports stars also make constant appearances in advertisements. Since they are well known in the world, they attract many people’s attention, which often leads to an immediate boom in the sales of the products that are advertised by them.‎ ‎2019学年第一学期高二期中六校联考 高二英语学科参考答案 听力： ‎ ‎1-5 B A A C B  6-10 A B C A B  11-15 C B A C A 16-20 C B C A C 阅读 A篇：21-23 C D A B篇：24-26 C C A C篇：27-30 B D C A 七选五 ‎31-35：E G D B A 完型：‎ ‎36-40：D A C A C 41-45: B A D C B 46-50: A D B D C 51-55: A B C D B 语法填空：‎ ‎56. brightened 57. when 58. with 59. wearing 60. a ‎ ‎61. failure 62. he 63. entertaining 64. who 65. confidence 应用文：‎ ‎ ‎ Dear David，‎ Here comes good news.

One day, my friends and I had just finished lunch at a hotel when it started to rain heavily. When it became lighter, I decided to brave the train to get car and go home. It was parked three blocks away. My friends argued I shouldn't go because at that time, I was due to give birth in three months. I promised I'd be very careful. One of them wanted to come with me, but I insisted she stay with another friend who needed help with her baby. When I walked to the first crossroads, a taxi stopped and a passenger beside me and told me he would walk with me to where I would go. I refused, but he insisted. During our walk, he kept telling me to walk slowly. When we got to the car park, I thanked him, and we parted ways. I did not get his name and may not even recognize him now. Did he purposely stop for me? I'll never know.‎
