(2022秋·河北石家庄·高一河北新乐市第一中学校考期中)Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush (灌木丛) in the Amazon may have more kinds of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.
Rainforests are the lungs of the Earth—storing large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) and producing a huge amount of the world’s oxygen (氧气) .Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy (树冠层) of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, dry heat from the sun and strong winds.
Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants’ way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump or fly across the gaps (缝隙) .The ground floor of the forest is not all leaves and bushes, like in films, but is actually quite clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.
They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rain forests can create 75% of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal—and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain—your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won’t keep you dry if there is a full rain storm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity (湿气) of large rainforests helps the formation of rain clouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.

(2022秋·河北石家庄·高一河北新乐市第一中学校考期中)Grace and her family thought they had lost Thor forever when they moved to Windsor, Nova Scotia from British Columbia last August.
“We probably spent seven or eight months looking for Thor,” Grace said. “What made it worse was that there were rumors(谣言) going around that there was dogfighting in our area. We still always hoped that somebody had taken him to be a pet, but you just never knew.”
“It was terrible. My daughter Bronwyn would try to find Thor everywhere, which had been a Christmas present for her. Even while watching TV programmes, she would say, ‘Oh, look! That dog looks like Thor!’” Grace said. Then the family moved, and the hope became impossible.
But one day, the phone rang. It was their former vet in British Columbia, saying Thor was in a rescue shelter(收容所) in High River, Alberta. He had been found at a work camp in the northern part of the place and taken to south by a man planning to keep him. But the man was forced to turn him over to the shelter when he couldn’t keep Thor in his rented home. Luckily, the ring on Thor’s neck gave people some information.
Thor was flown to Nova Scotia last week. The family picked him up at the airport. “Thor was just lying in his box and looking down, and my daughter walked over and said, ‘Hey Thor.’ He immediately stood up, trying to greet my daughter. We let him out and he jumped on her as if he was giving her a big hug and he kissed her face. Then he sat down suddenly at her feet and rolled over for attention. He was cute.” Grace said.

(2022秋·河北石家庄·高一校考期中)If you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double—check departure (启程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten, my secretary had got the ticket for me and I thoughts he had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency (货币) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was awkward.
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suit and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
9.Where is the writer most probably from

A.how to make life easier B.how to be well prepared for a trip
C.how to enjoy ourselves on trip D.how to plan our trip
(2022秋·福建福州·高一福建省连江第一中学校联考期中)For people suffering from depression (抑郁症), there’s an all-natural treatment they should use — getting more exercise. It could help fight depression, even if people have a genetic risk, new research shows.
For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 people and found those with related genes were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them. But that was less likely for people who were more active at the study’s start, even if they had a family history of depression. Higher levels of physical activity helped protect even those with the highest genetic risk of depression.
Both high-intensity (高强度) exercise and low-intensity activities were associated with a reduced risk of depression. Adding four hours of exercise a week could lower the risk of a new episode (一段经历) of depression by 17%, according to the study. “Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episodes in individuals who are genetically risky,” said lead author Karmel Choi. “On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.”
Depression is a common mental illness globally, with more than 264 million people affected. “Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible,” Choi said. And mental health and primary care providers can use the findings to advise patients that there’s something meaningful they can do to lower their risk of depression.
13.Who are least likely to suffer from depression according to the passage
A.Those who have a family history of depression.
B.Those with genes related to depression.
C.Those who get more exercise.
D.Those with effective approaches.
14.What is the purpose of the text
A.To discuss a disease.
B.To introduce a method.
C.To analyze a genetic risk.
D.To explain a phenomenon.
15.What does the study show about depression
A.Physical activity betters medical treatment.
B.Exercise is able to decrease and prevent it.
C.Different levels of exercise intensity matter the same.
D.Exercising 35 minutes daily is the most effective treatment.
16.How did the researchers reach their conclusion
A.By analyzing a mass of data.
B.By conducting genetic research.
C.By comparing various levels of activity.

(2022秋·福建福州·高一福建省连江第一中学校联考期中)I am rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of holiday, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car in sight, and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village
It was supposed to be right along this river. We drove on, farther into the unknown river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticism: Why didn’t we start earlier, bring the map and so on My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, texting a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think.
Just the — Wow! Amazing! A new scene appeared. Where did it come from
Right there, out of nowhere: a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purple, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk. I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-covered river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day.
How breathtaking! Where had it been If I had seen even a bit of beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all.
We miss a lot, almost everything, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters (过滤器) takes care of that, selecting only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch.

(2022秋·福建厦门·高一翔安一中校考期中)Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, which doctors suggest we all should cut down on.
“It seems like every time I study an illness and search for the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million adults have diabetes (糖尿病) .Why “Sugar, we believe is one of the culprits, if not the major reason,” says Johnson.
Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.
So what is the solution It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals(谷物) to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it.
But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier food like fruit Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise.
23.What do scientists think of sugar
A.It benefits our health.
B.It is less addictive than drugs.
C.It causes us to become dependent on it
D.It should be taken under a doctor’s guidance.
24.What does the underlined word “culprits” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Diseases. B.Poor diets.
C.Unknown things. D.Causes of a problem.
25.Why is it so hard to avoid sugar
A.We like it too much.
B.We cannot survive without it.
C.It gives us much n ceded energy.
D.It’s in so many foods and drinks.
26.What is the best title for the passage
A.Ways to Avoid Sugar
B.Our Addiction to Sugar
C.Illnesses Caused by Sugar
D.Good Sugar VS Bad Sugar
(2022秋·福建福州·高一福建省福州第二中学校考期中)Do you know the names of the people who live next door Chances are you live next to someone, but do you actually know them Sadly, the only time we do seem to hear about people’s neighbors is when things go wrong — hearing people say things like they have the bad neighbors! So, what does go wrong
When talking about famous feuds (宿仇) with people who live close, you only need to think of the Montagues and Capulets in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Thankfully, most real-life quarrels don’t go that far. These days, especially in cities, many people live in buildings. Our neighbors are all around us — so what problems can come from that
The first obvious cause of argument is noise pollution. Loud noise through the walls construction (施工), or people arguing next door can disturb the silence of your living space. Asking someone directly to turn the music down can cause you to feel anxious. However, if you get someone like a building manager to speak to your neighbors, it can make things more awkward because you didn’t speak to your neighbors directly.
And then what about smells If your neighbors like eating food with pungent (刺激的) smells, and the smells flow through your window, what can you do There are some other common problems, such as water running through the wall, pets making noise, and Jittering from the window above you. These can bring anger over time.
It’s not easy living next door to someone, especially if they’re noisy. But having a clear and honest conversation might help. Also, try thinking what you are doing could make your neighbors angry. If it’s something that would make you feel bad, maybe think again.
27.Why does the author mention Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in paragraph 2
A.To present a fact. B.To provide an example.
C.To explain a topic. D.To make a comparison.
28.What are you advised to do if a neighbor makes too much noise
A.Turn to the police. B.Talk to the neighbor directly.
C.Quarrel with the neighbor. D.Ask the building manager for help.
29.What can we infer about a neighbor’s pungent food smells
A.They provide you pleasure. B.They open your imagination.
C.They’re your neighbor’s favorites. D.They make you uncomfortable.
30.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.How to make a neighbor happy. B.How to deal with a noisy neighbor.
C.How to communicate with a neighbor. D.How to get along well with a neighbor.
(2022秋·山东临沂·高一山东省临沂第一中学校考期中)When Katie Stagliano grew a 40-pound cabbage, she didn’t know that she was beginning to develop a dream as well. When the 10-year-old girl from Summerville, South Carolina realized how much cabbage was in her garden, she decided to donate it to needy families by working with Fields to Families, a nonprofit organization based in South Carolina that gives the hungry access to nutritious fruits and vegetables.
Katie’s cabbage fed nearly 300 people and inspired her to learn more about childhood hunger in the United States. On discovering that more than 12 million kids in the United States go to bed hungry each night, Katie decided to take action.
Her first task was to work together with her family to expand their own garden so that they could donate more vegetables to needy families. But beyond her own backyard, she wanted to teach other children how to get involved. To grow her idea, she started the planting of a garden at her school, which also donates its fresh produce to local food agencies. Through a generous donation from Fields to Families, Katie’s school is receiving seeds and volunteer help, and Katie will get the chance to work there with a master gardener as her teacher!
Katie also designed her very own “No Hungry Children” T-shirt, which is available for purchase online. A part of the proceeds from her T-shirt sales economically supports Katie’s efforts, as well as the work of Amazing Kids, a nonprofit organization that focuses on the dreams of kids like Katie.
“I think it is important to have something to strive for,” says Katie. “By planting a garden or just some seeds in a pot you can make a difference. My cabbage alone fed 275 people. If more kids did the same, we all could be helping to make a long-time dream of no hungry people possible.”
31.According to the passage, Fields to Families ________ .
A.works to feed hungry people B.grows fruits and vegetables
C.has fields in Summerville D.provides job opportunities for poor families

(2022秋·山东青岛·高一山东省青岛第五十八中学校考期中)Parrots live extremely long partly due to their relatively large brains, an international team of researchers has discovered. Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, led the study, the results of which were published in March in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
When it comes to lifespan (寿命), birds truly stand out. Lifespan tends to increase with an animal’s body size, roughly speaking. Thus, the bigger the animal, the longer they live. But a bird tends to live much longer than a comparably-sized mammal (哺乳动物). One theory is that birds’ ability to fly means they are less at risk from the animals that kill them, which reduces their risk of being eaten, decreases stress, and frees up bodily resources for growth.
And among birds, parrots are the aging champions. The confirmed longest living bird was Cookie, a Major Mitchell’s cockatoo (a species of parrot), who lived at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois for all but one of his 83 years. Though cockatoos often weigh around a pound, they usually live for four decades. Most of the other 398 parrot species also live longer than other birds of similar size.
What sets parrots apart In the new research, Smeele and his colleagues gathered data on over 130,000 individual parrots held in more than 1,000 zoos, representing 217 species. Through this data, they created reliable estimates of the average lifespan for each species. They next searched for a link between each species’ lifespan and its relative brain size and found a clear, positive correspondence. Parrot species with larger brains relative to their body size lived longer than species with smaller brains.
“This supports the idea that in general larger brains make species more flexible and allow them to live longer,” Smeele said in a statement. “For example, if they run out of their favorite food, they could learn to find something new and thus survive.” He added, “All parrots have relatively large brain sizes compared to most other birds.”
Researchers have previously shown that, when trained, some parrots can recognize and understand objects, colors, and shapes, and even speak with an impressive vocabulary. They can even match five-year-old humans on basic tests of intelligence.
39.What may cause birds’ long life
A.Their big body size. B.Their ability to fly.
C.Their less adventurous nature. D.Their slow-paced lifestyle.
40.What do we know about parrots according to the text
A.They outlive other similar-sized birds.
B.They live longer in the zoo than in the wild.
C.They have an average lifespan of four decades.
D.They live in relatively less competitive environments.
41.What does the underlined word “correspondence” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Goal. B.Evidence. C.Difference D.Connection.

A.Parrots find it hard to survive nowadays.
B.Bigger brains give parrots more adaptability(适应性).
C.Parrots like to discover new things by nature.
D.Bigger brains aid parrots with their social ability.
(2022秋·山东青岛·高一青岛二中校考期中)Researchers recently offered the most complete examination yet of the history of penguins. They said penguins came from a common ancestor shared with a group of seabirds like albatrosses. Penguins first developed the ability to dive, and then lost the ability to fly as they adapted to water.
The earliest-known penguin is called Waimanu manneringi, from New Zealand. It is believed to have lived 61 million years ago. Penguins live mainly in the southern hemisphere. The Galapagos penguin is the only one found north of the equator. Daniel Ksepka of the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, is the co-writer of the study that was published in Nature Communications. Ksepka noted that penguins are appealing animals. He added that they are interestingly charming creatures. Apart from their funny upright posture, they love, they fight, and they steal, making it really easy to imagine them having all the same motivations as people.
The study proposes that changes in world temperatures and in major ocean currents have been important drivers of penguin evolution. Theresa Cole is the study’s lead writer. Cole said the research found a number of genes likely involved in physical changes known as adaptations.
Such adaptations include gene transforms that shift the way penguins see the world. Penguins’ vision is more sensitive toward the blue end of the color spectrum(光谱). Blue light goes more deeply into the ocean than light at the red end of the spectrum. Genes that help birds detect salty and sour tastes are active in penguins. But genes that help detect bitter and sweet tastes become inactive. Those may no longer be needed as penguins find food in cold, salty water and usually swallow the whole fish. Penguins show changes in their wing ones and a reduction of their flight feathers. Penguins also have reduced air spaces in the bone and the ability to store more oxygen in their muscles for long dives.
43.What does the underlined word “hemisphere” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Deep ocean. B.Earth’s pole.
C.Half globe. D.Large land.
44.Which of the following makes people tend to imagine penguins sharing human’s inner desires
A.Penguins’ habitats. B.Penguins’ appearances.
C.Penguins’ characters. D.Penguins’ behaviors.
45.What mainly cause penguins to develop
A.Physical changes from gene transforms. B.Changes of geographical environment.
C.Interactions with human beings. D.Competitions with other animals.
46.What is presented in the last paragraph
A.How penguins survive by adaptions. B.Why penguins change their body.
C.How penguins are unique. D.What damages penguins’ genes.
(2022秋·广东东莞·高一东莞实验中学校考期中)Rainforests provide much of the world’s oxygen. People have been trying to protect them for years. But another type of forest, the cloud forest, is just as important to humans.
These forests are at the tops of mountains, generally near the equator (赤道). These wet, wooded mountaintops are mainly in African and Central and South American countries. They are called “cloud forests” because their height allows for the formation of clouds among the trees. The trees in these forests pull water out of the clouds. The water gathers on the leaves and falls into small rivers below, which flow into towns at the bottom of the mountain. The yearly rainfall in these areas is about 180 centimetres. Cloud forests can pull in up to 60 percent of that. The water is important to the plants and the people in the area. It helps them survive.
Cloud forests are also home to countless species of plants that can’t be found anywhere else. One small cloud forest has as many types of plants as there are in all of Europe. In fact, there are so many that scientists haven’t made a complete list of them yet.
These forests are being destroyed at an increasing speed. Trees are being cut down, and roads are being built in their place. Some people have a goal to get government money to protect the forests. But they have had little success so far. Another way is to take the place of the destroyed plants with new ones. That, too, has been difficult because the plants are so special. There’s plenty of work to be done, but saving the cloud forests is still possible with creative solutions.
47.Where can you probably find cloud forests
A.In North America. B.Far from the equator.
C.In an African country. D.At the foot of mountains.
48.What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A.Europe is short of plant types.
B.Scientists are working on a list.
C.Cloud forests are getting smaller.
D.Cloud forests house many plants.
49.What will be discussed in the following part of the text
A.Ways to protect cloud forests.
B.Goals of cloud forest protectors.
C.Difficulties in planting new trees.
D.Successes of getting wide support.
50.Where can we probably find the text
A.In a storybook. B.In a travel guide.
C.In a chemistry textbook. D.In a geography magazine.
(2022春·广东广州·高一校考期中)In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the ”Ice Ribbon“, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed.
In the Winter Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small time gap, tiny imperfections in the ice can make all the differences. ”It’s not just a hunk of ice like you’d normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer,“ told Kenneth Golden, a U. S. mathematician who studies the structures of ice. ”It’s a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think.“
The first step for building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals. Such impurities don’t fit in the regular hexagonal(六边形的)structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The purer the water, the more consistent the ice surface.
In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making, technology is also very important, As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a carbon dioxide cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO2 , is not new when it comes to ice-making. However, it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant, like Freon.
With increasing attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into use again. As an element of the atmosphere, CO2, doesn’t damage the ozone layer. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other synthetic refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.
”We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way.“ told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
51.What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making
A.The water isn’t able to freeze completely.
B.The quality of the ice will be affected.
C.The ice surface will be more consistent.
D.It’s likely for athletes to fall on the ice.
52.Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games
A.It’s the most advanced technology for ice-making.
B.CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.
C.CO2 is more environmentally friendly than Freon.
