辽宁省沈阳市城郊市重点联合体2019-2020学年高二上学期期中考试（3）‎ 英语试卷 A Australia loves interesting money. In 1988, it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes. Now it’s introduced a new five-dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future!‎ At first glance, the new note looks much like the old one. It has the same pink color and main pictures on the front and back. But look closer, and you will notice a clear window running down the middle, surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses, a type of Australian plant.‎ Tilt(使倾斜) the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spinebill, an Australian bird, beating its wings as if trying to fly away.Turn the bill from side to side, and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins, and the image of“5”changes position. While these movable features are impressive and entertaining,that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them.Their primary purpose was to make it impossible for criminals to produce their own fake notes.‎ ‎The new five-dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money.It has raised bump alongside the top and bottom, enabling blind people to quickly determine its value.‎ The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all-important bump goes to 15-year-old Connor McLeod. The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas. Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria.To convince the government officials of his idea, Connor started a website that got huge public attention.‎ The government will add this feature to the new $10 bill which comes out in late 2017, as well as the updated $20, $50, and $100 bills that are still being designed.‎ 1. Which picture does NOT move when the banknote is tilted ?‎ A. The building. B. The number. C. The bird D. The plants..‎ 2. What can we guess about Australian coins?‎ A. They are different in size or shape.‎ B. They are required in school cafeterias.‎ C. They are more frequently used than notes.‎ D. They are more convenient for young people.‎ 3. What did Connor do to persuade the government?‎ A. He wrote a letter to the leaders.‎ B. He organized an online meeting.‎ C. He looked for support on the Internet.‎ D. He requested a special Christmas gift.‎ B You’ve heard of Charles Darwin, right? The famous scientist who put forward a theory of evolution. You might have just also heard of Alfred Russel Wallace, who worked together with Darwin on the revolutionary work On the Origin of Species published in 1859. But what about Patrick Matthew? “Patrick who?” you might ask. Well, Darwin and Wallace got the fame but Matthew did the legwork too.‎ This British horticulturalist ( 园艺种植家） actually thought about evolution first, as Dr. Mike Weale, geneticist at King’s College London, explains. He says: “Matthew published a brief outline of the idea of species being able to change into other species through natural selection. And he did that 27 years before Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. And they recognized that he did so but other people since have simplified the story and tended to concentrate just on Darwin.”‎ So Patrick Matthew’s relative obscurity ( 默默无名）may simply be down to us — the general public— wanting to simplify things. But Dr. Patricia Fara, senior tutor at Clare College Cambridge, points out that Darwin’s work might have received more attention because he had powerful friends.‎ Dr. Patricia Fara explains that "Darwin had the most famous, most outstanding members of the scientific society in Victorian times, who were pushing on his behalf. Having a scientific theory being accepted is not just a matter of whether the theory’s right.”‎ Maybe it is time for us to remember Patrick Matthew, a pioneer of the story of survival through adaptation that is at the heart of evolution.‎ 1. What makes Darwin and Wallace famous?‎ A. Their great relationship. B. Their work with Matthew.‎ C. Matthew’s legwork. D. Their extraordinary theory.‎ 2. What did Matthew do before the book On the Origin of Species was published?‎ A. He worked with a horticulturalist. B. He published the idea of evolution.‎ C. He simplified a story. D. He concentrated on Darwin.‎ ‎3. What does the underlined sentence suggest?‎ A. Friends help Darwin’s theory get accepted.‎ B. A theory will be accepted if ifs right.‎ C. People know very little about Matthew.‎ D. We should try to remember Matthew.‎ C Lakshmi grew up in India in the first half of the twentieth century, seeing many people around her who did not get enough food, were often sick and died young.‎ In the 1960s, she was asked to help manage a program to improve nutrition in her country. At that time, most advice on nutrition came from North American and European countries. Nutritionists suggested foods that were common and worked well for people who lived in these nations.‎ For example, they told poor Indian women to eat more meat and eggs and drink more orange juice. But Lakshmi knew this advice was useless in a country such as India. People there didn't eat such foods. They weren't easy to find. And for the poor, such foods were too expensive.‎ Lakshmi knew that for the program to work, it had to fit Indian culture. So she decided to adjust the nutrition program. She first found out what healthy middle class people in India ate. She took note of the nutrients (营养物）available in those foods. Then she looked for cheap, easy-to-find foods that would provide the same nutrients.‎ She created a balanced diet of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and grains. These foods were cheap and could be cooked with simple equipment. Her ideas were thought unusual in the 1960s. For example, she insisted that a diet without meat could provide all major nutrients. Now we know she was right. But it took her continuous efforts to get others to finally accept her diet about 50 years ago. Because of Lakshmi's program, Indian children almost doubled their food intake. And many children who would have been hungry and ill grew healthy and strong.‎ 1. Why did Lakshmi think European nutritionists, advice was useless?‎ A. It worked well for European people.‎ B. It suggested too many foods for Indians.‎ C. It was not practical in India that time.‎ D. It included foods that didn't exist in India.‎ 2. Lakshmi studied healthy middle class people's diet in order to .‎ A. know about their eating habits B. learn about Indian culture C. find out nutrients in their food D. write a report on food nutrients 3. Lakshmi's balanced diet was considered unusual because people thought ‎ .‎ A. those foods were too cheap B. it should include some meat C. it provided all major nutrients D. it enabled kids to grow healthy 4. What can we infer about Lakshmi?‎ A. She came from a rich family. B. She disliked middle class people.‎ C. She worked with European nutritionists. D.She was a determined scientist.‎ 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处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。‎ Philadelphia is a city known for many things.It is where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, and it was also the first capital of the United States. 11 It is home to nearly 3.000 mural(壁画) painted on the side of homes and buildings around the city. That’s more murals than any other city on Earth. 12 ‎ More than 20 years ago, a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program pairing troubled youth with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the city. 13 The teenagers involved helped to create magnificent pieces of art, and there were other, even more important benefits. The young people learned to ‎cooperate and get along with many different kinds of people during the painting. They learned to be responsible, because they needed to follow a schedule to make sure the murals were completed. 14 It is hard for anyone to see the spectacular designs and not feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia.‎ Take a walk around some of the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia and you will find beautiful works of art on the side and fronts of buildings. Of course the murals are not just in poor neighborhoods, but richer ones as well. Special buses take tourists to different parts of the city to see the various murals, which show the diverse ethnic groups that call Philadelphia home.‎ ‎ 15 It is also a model for other cities throughout America seeking to help troubled youth.‎ A. How did this come to be?‎ B. But one fact about Philadelphia is not so well-known.‎ C. They also learned to take pride in their community.‎ D. What happened to the murals on Earth?‎ E. From this some project, something magical happened.‎ F. The program encouraged troubled youth to paint together with their teachers.‎ G. As a result of its success, the murals program has now become the nation’s largest public art program.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共 20 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四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）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。‎ When you give thanks for help, everyone benefits. And the 16 will last longer than you’d expect: researchers have found that writing thank-you notes raises people’s 17 levels for up to six months.‎ ‎“If you express gratitude in a diary, it makes you happier, but if you 18 it with the person who helped you, it has the 19 to bring you two closer together,” says researcher Jeff Tsang.‎ Lawyer John Kralik experienced this personally. He’d been feeling depressed and 20 about his life: He’d been divorced and wasn’t 21 with his children. He felt tired from the 22 hours he devoted to work.

He decided to write 365 thank-you notes over 365 days, hoping for a/an 25 change.‎ Immediately, he noticed his 26 begin to improve.“The first effects are that you realize that your life is much better than you thought and you become more positive,” Kralik says of his 27 acts of expressing thanks.‎ ‎28 by Kralik’s experience, I decided to try the 29 myself. I chose someone from my past whom I’d 30 thanked before: my wonderful high-school English teacher. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to 31 him,but eventually I found where he lived.‎ In my letter, I thanked him for the 32 and support that he’d given me years earlier. I may never hear from him 33, but that isn’t the 34 . The letter helped me 35 my life, and I’ve been happy now for months.‎ ‎16. A. time B. thoughts C. effects D. relationship ‎17.

I wanted more interesting material. One day I came upon a book store, and, 36 (realize) how cheap books in China were, 37 (have) the idea that I should start learning from Chinese children’s books. 38 was perfect and so obvious—why hadn’t I done this 39 (early)?‎ Then reality came as a shock. There was a very good reason 40 everyone wasn’t doing it already: Chinese children's books 41 (design) for native Chinese kids, so they 42 (general) don't make good material for foreign language learners.‎ Most Chinese children's books are too hard 43 Chinese learners. It’ll be discouraging to read many books, especially those 44 (choose) at random, and all the “pinyin” is likely to be less helpful than you think. So, I do wish, one day, there are some really good books 45 (suit) for foreign learners out there in China’s bookstores.‎ 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分 15 分）‎ 假定你是高二学生李华，从网上获悉一家国际青少年志愿者组织正在全球招募暑期志愿 者。请写一封电子邮件申请参加。主要内容如下：‎ 1. 写信目的 2. 自我介绍 3. 希望获准注意：‎ 1. 词数 80 左右；‎ 2. 文章的开头及结尾已给出，不计入总分数； 2 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯 Dear Sir or Madam,‎ With all my best regards.‎ 第二节 概要写作（满分 25 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。‎ ‎‎ Yours sincerely,‎ Li Hua ‎Winter is a great time to experiment with new sports. If you like to walk, keep walking- on snowshoes. If you want to try an endurance(耐力) sport, go for cross- country skiing. And snowboarding is just plain fun. Runners can also train during the winter, although they are bothered by wet or slippery roads，or slip on a pair of snowshoes.‎ Whatever sport you choose, don’t rely on a friend for instructions. You wouldn’t let an amateur(外行) perform brain operation on you; Why let one teach you to ski or skate? That’s what instructors are for –to help newcomers start out right.‎ Instructors can give you advice about equipment, techniques, safety, and dealing with injuries if they do happen to you.‎ Play safely by figuring out what special equipment and safety gear (设备) you’ll need. Planning an afternoon of snowshoeing or cross-country skiing? Pack water, snacks, fruit, and extra socks. If you’re going out for a long time, keep your water bottle insulated(隔冷) from the cold so it doesn’t freeze.‎ Don’t head out onto the slopes or into faraway country areas along. Always go with a buddy and tell a friend what time you plan on returning. If you get in trouble and don’t show up when you are supposed to, your friend has your back.‎ Winter sports can help you burn calories, increase your cardiovascular(心血管的) fitness, and build muscles. Being outdoors and getting exercise are great for your mental(精神的) health. Exercise makes you feel relaxed, and sunlight seems to help beat back the winter blues.‎ 英语答案及评分标准 第一部分阅读理解（共两节,满分 35 分）‎ 第一节（共 10 小题；每小题 2.5 分,满分 25 分）‎ A: D A C B: D B A C: C C B D 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分,满分 10 分）‎ D : B A E C G 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）‎ CBADA CDBCA BDBAD CDCBA 第二节 语法填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分,满分 15 分）‎ ‎36.realizing 37 had 38.It 39. earlier 40 .why 41. are designed 42.generally 43. for 44. chosen 45. suitable suited 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分 15 分 第一节 One possible Version ：‎ Dear sir or madam I’m writing this letter to apply for the job as a volunteer that you have advertised on the Internet.
