We had lots of meetings with our neighbors, trying to make them understand why it’s good to build a garden on the roof. Now people love coming here, and we have made a lot of friends!‎ Wilber: The whole thing wasn’t easy at first. But Jasmine helped a lot. And she was really good at making people happy to donate (捐赠) money for the roof garden.‎ David: My kids love going up there. They sit there watching butterflies and birds. The roof garden brings them closer to nature.‎ Samuel: You want something green? Visit the park! It’s only one block away! After the ‎ roof garden was built, small insects ,especially flies, started flying into my room! And the kids leave mud on the stairs when they come down from the roof!‎ Rosie: Our building is now cooler in the summer. My baby sleeps well even on hot summer days!‎ Flora: Guess where these tomatoes are from! Not from the supermarket. They’re from our roof! It’s wonderful, isn’t?‎ ‎21. Who dislikes the roof garden?‎ A. Jasmine B. Samuel C. Rosie D. Flora ‎22. What does Wilber tell us?‎ ‎ A. Children always make stairs dirty. ‎ ‎ B. Tomatoes grew well on the roof.‎ ‎ C. Jasmine helped to get the money. ‎ ‎ D. There are birds in the roof garden.‎ ‎23. What can be inferred from the interview?‎ A. Most of the speakers love the roof garden. ‎ B. Babies like sleeping in the roof garden.‎ C. The roof tomatoes sell well in the supermarket.‎ D. David first came up with the idea of a roof garden. ‎ B Small talk is a popular way of getting to know someone, getting into a school or job, or just passing the time. But do you think you're good at it? And do you even know how to do it? If not, then it’s never too late to learn. The art of small talk is the art of talking about unimportant things like the weather. So why should you find it important?‎ It's completely free. It doesn't matter if you fail, and you never know where it will go. “It can lead to many results，from a pleasant exchange to the signing of a million dollar business deal”，according to Brett Nelson in Forbes Magazine. The good things to small talk don't stop there. It can also make us smarter, as a study by researchers at the University of Michigan found that friendly, social communication could help us solve problems.‎ You may be wondering how best to break this ice. Weather is probably the number one thing that people who do not know each other will discuss. Sports news is also a very common ‎ topic, especially if a local team or player is doing extremely well or badly. And if you and the other speaker have something in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. For example, if the bus you are on is full, you might talk about the reasons why.‎ Complimenting (恭维)someone on their clothing or hair is acceptable; however, you should probably not say anything — good or bad一about a person's body. Basically, any subject that makes the other person give a deep-thought answer is not welcome. If you bring up something like death, religion, politics, for serious opinions, you will turn people off.‎ ‎24. The 2nd paragraph is mainly about .‎ A. the topics of small talk ‎ B. the advantage of small talk C. something unpleasant about small talk D. the development of small talk ‎25. Which is the first choice for strangers to break the ice?‎ A. Sport B. Clothing. C. Weather D. Music ‎26. The underlined sentence “you will turn people off.” in the last paragraph means people will_________ .‎ A. feel interested in your talk B. get tired of your talk ‎ C. quarrel with you for your talk D. be grateful for your talk ‎27. Which part of a magazine might this text belong to?‎ A. Science & Technology B. Travel Around the World.‎ C. Modern Fashion. D. Social Communications.‎ C As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.‎ In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer ‎ would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.‎ In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)"‎ According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.‎ ‎28. The passage begins with two questions to ______. ‎ A. introduce the main topic B. show the author's attitude C. describe how to use the Interne. D. explain how to store information ‎29. What can we learn about the first experiment?‎ A. The Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer. ‎ B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.‎ C. The first group did not try to remember the information. ‎ D. The second group did not understand the information.‎ ‎30. In transactive memory, people ______.‎ A. keep the information in mind ‎ B. change the quantity of information ‎ C. organize information like a computer ‎ D. remember how to find the information ‎31. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? ‎ A. We are using memory differently. ‎ B. We are becoming more intelligent.‎ C.We have poorer memories than before ‎ D.We need a better way to access information.‎ D Los Angeles mourns Kobe Bryant, an activist and icon: “We didn't just lose a basketball player”. In Los Angeles, everyone is mourning Kobe Bryant in their own way.‎ Within hours of his death on Sunday morning, his name was appearing on city buses and commuter trains, in graffiti spray-painted on walls, and in a thousand gifts left outside the downtown Staples Center, which witnessed the peak of his glory as one of basketball’s towering greats. City leaders, meanwhile, lit up public buildings and fountains in purple and gold, the colors of the Lakers, for whom Bryant played all 20 of his professional seasons.‎ As the days pass, it has become clear that this is no ordinary grief. Kobe, as everyone knew him, was a man who touched an extraordinary number of lives in an extraordinary number of ways.‎ He was a supporter for victims of police violence, but he also donated money to a widows’ and children’s fund for the police killed when on duty. He was an African American role model in a city with a decreasing black population, but he was also popular with Latinos who appreciated his efforts to learn Spanish and called him “compa”, short for “compadre”, or friend. The foundation he set up with his wife, Vanessa, has promoted youth sports, of course — both soccer and basketball — and it has also worked to get LA’s rising population of homeless young African Americans off the streets.‎ ‎“We didn’t just lose a basketball player. This was someone who was becoming an important member of the community beyond athleticism,” said Isaac Bryan, who directs the Black Policy Project at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It’s hard to find things for black people in LA to look up to.”‎ ‎32. Everyone is mourning Cobe Bryant in the following way except that _____‎ A. his name appeared on buses and trains B. his names were spray-painted on walls C. public buildings and fountains were lit up in colors D. thousands of gifts were placed outside Kobe’s house ‎33. The underlined word touched can be replaced by .‎ A. equaled B. affected C. reached D. preferred ‎34. In paragraph 4, the underlined word it refers to .‎ A. soccer B. basketball C. youth sport D. the foundation ‎35. How did Isaac Bryan mean by saying “We didn’t just lose a basketball player.”?‎ A. Disappointed. B. Amazed. C. Regretful. D. Cheerful.‎ ‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共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。 ‎ Among the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), the World Health Organization (WHO) has offered basic protective measures to the public against the virus.‎ ‎1.

As I began to eat I looked around at the other tables and saw a girl sitting alone,so I decided why not go to sit with her. Anyway there was no reason for me to have a whole table to myself,and who knew maybe I could make a friend. I walked to check and said,“Excuse me,do you mind if I sit with you?" She was surprised at first,but then smiled and said“Sure!”‎ We got along well with each other and became close friends throughout(自始至终）the next two years.Towards the end of our senior year she told me that she'd been accepted to an out of state college and would be moving away after graduation.I was sad that I would miss her but at the same time was really happy for her. She then shared with me something very moving.“Do you remember the first day of school when you came over and sat down with me during lunch?” she asked.“Of course!Why do you ask?"I replied.She continued,“I want to let you know how special you are and that you make a difference.I was severely depressed(沮丧的） that day, and I had even made plans on how I was going to kill myself after I got home.I had been bullied(欺负）the whole first half of the day and it had just broken me down.” She continued. ‎ Para.1:“But when you reached out to me in a kind way, it rocked me to my core(彻底地震撼了我).”She said._______________________________________________‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Para.2:I was very surprised to hear what she had said and took her hand and patted it gently. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 修远中学2019-2020学年度第二学期第二次阶段测试 高一英语试题 参考答案 听力1-20 CBBCA AACCB CBCCA ABACC ‎ 阅读 21-23 BCA 24-27BCBD 28-31 ACDA 32-35 DBDC 七选五 36-40 EGBFD 完型 40-60 BDAAD BDBDC AABCD AABCC 语法填空 61 to 62 a 63 which 64 to drink 65 began ‎ ‎66 producing 67 rapidly 68 gifts 69 official 70 its 作文参考范文：‎ Hi Tom,‎ How are you doing?

When you buy frozen and refrigerated foods, don’t make long stops on your way home because frozen foods could become soft or warm. Using bags helps keep food cold until you can get home. Milk and milk products should be refrigerated immediately. When camping or picnicking or at any time when refrigeration can’t be made use of, use special dry foods. Don’t leave food in a hot car. Picnic favorites like meat, chicken and eggs should be kept in a cooler box. Above all, if the food doesn’t seem to be normal in smell or appearance, throw it away immediately. Don’t taste it.‎
