第三节：阅读理解(共16小题；每小题1.5分，满分24分)

A

When it comes to romance, no one does it better than the French. This is believed to be true of their movies, too. Unlike the Hollywood blockbusters(大片) you may be used to, French films are ―usually a more artistic statemen t about being in the world‖, noted The Guardian.

From Oct 8 to Oct 29, in cooperation with the French embassy(大使馆) in China, the China Film Archive and China National Film Museum are presenting classic and critically acclaimed(备受赞誉的) French movies, including Le Havre (2011), Mia et le Migou (2008), and Le V oyage dans la Lune (1902).

Sha Dan, curator(策展人) of the China Film Archive, explained to the media what to expect from the film series, and revealed how first-time viewers can best appreciate French movies.

Q: Why should I watch French movies?

A: French films have a lot of virtues. For one thing, they use dialogue and plot, instead of visual effects, to drive the story. For another, they stress diversity(多元). While Hollywood movies are often about universal values, French movies have French culture or regional cultures deeply rooted in them. You have to understand them in their cultural context. That’s what sometimes makes French movies difficult to understand.

Q: How can a Chinese audience appreciate French movies?

A: You need to get used to their way of filming. When shooting two people talking to each other, the traditional way is to film each person face-forward as they take turns speaking. However, French movies are filmed in more experimental ways, like switching from a close shot to a long shot.

Also, you should search for background information. The movie’s title and its director can reflect its ideas and storyline. F or example, Les Enfants du Paradis (1945), also known as Children of Paradise, tells the story of beautiful Garance and the four men who love her in their own ways. Garance meets these men in a theater, and the ―Paradis‖ in the movie title is an informal French name for a theater’s gallery.

56. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?

A. To recommend some classic French movies.

B. To help readers to better appreciate French movies.

C. To compare French movies with Hollywood blockbusters.

D. To describe the development and features of French movies in great detail.

57. Which of the following is a characteristic of French movies?

A. They are often about universal values.

B. They usually have really good visual effects.

C. They attach a lot of importance to French culture and French regional cultures.

D. They are sometimes hard to understand because of their complex plots.

58. Which of the following is TRUE about French movies according to the text?

A. They are mostly romances and are usually artistic.

B. They often involve more close shots than long shots.

C. They prefer to use the traditional way of shooting two people talking to each other.

D. Their titles and directors can help viewers learn background information.

B

Many of us remember being in awe(敬畏) when we saw cloned dinosaurs running wild in the film Jurassic Park. And the idea of using technology to revive(恢复) extinct species has long fascinated not only writers and directors, but scientists as well.

According to The Telegraph, woolly mammoths(长毛猛犸象), which featured in the popular Ice Age animated movie series, ―may walk the earth once more‖ now that scientists have taken another step toward realizing a long-held dream—recreating their DNA.

Mammoths became extinct around 10,000 years ago. However, since the discovery of near-perfect preserved remains in Arctic permafrost(北极冻土带) in May 2013, a variety of research studies have been carried out since.

Geneticists from Harvard University analyzed DNA from the remains, looking for genes which separated mammoths from elephants, such as hairiness and ear size. They then used the results to reproduce exact copies of 14 mammoth genes. ―It is the first time that mammoth genes have been alive—although so far it has only been done in the lab,‖ George Church, lead researcher of the project, told the Sunday Times.

Church then used a new technique which allows scientists to edit DNA carefully, replacing sections of elephant DNA with the mammoth genes. So ―we now have functioning elephant cells with mammoth DNA in them,‖ he said.

However, Church ruled out the possibility of bringing the mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains. He said he ―preferred to focus on rebuilding the full mammoth genome(基因组) by analyzing DNA from preserved remains and putting it into the cells of its closest living relative –the Asian elephant,‖ reported The Telegraph.

Church argued that the return of the woolly mammoth—or rather, the return of something very similar—could help bring back fragile(脆弱的) ecosystems. However, some scientists believe that bringing back the mammoth would be unethical.

Professor Alex Greenwood, an expert on ancient DNA, said: ―We may face the extinction of African and Asian elephants. Why bring back another elephant from extinction when we cannot even keep the ones that are not extinct around?‖ he told the Sunday Times. ―What is the message? We can be as irresponsible with the environment as we want. Then we’ll just clone things back?‖

―Money would be better spent focusing on conserving what we do hav e than spending it on an animal that has been extinct for thousands of years,‖ he said.

59. We can learn from the article that ______.

A. cloned mammoths followed cloned dinosaurs to get revived

B. the technology to revive mammoth genes is already mature

C. George Church and his colleagues tried to reproduce mammoth DNA

D. Church and his team managed to list all the genes that separate mammoths from elephants

60. According to Church, what is the significance of his study?

A. It could help prevent the extinction of the Asian elephant.

B. It could help people better tell elephant DNA from mammoth genes.

C. It could help bring back some extinct species and save fragile ecosystems.

D. It could help bring mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains.

61. The underlined word ―unethical‖ in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. unacceptable

B. misled

C. impractical

D. illegal

62. According to the article, Professor Alex Greenwood believes that _______.

A. there is no need to worry about the extinction of African and Asian elephants at present

B. it’s necessary to bring back species that are beneficial to human beings from extinction

C. the return of the woolly mammoth would help to balance ecosystems

D. it’s more important to protect present species than to bring back extinct ones

C

Each year, 500 million people from 164 countries celebrate World Environment Day on 5 June. It may seem like there is not much that an individual can do to save the world, but there is. One of the first steps is to understand the problems and their solutions.

Try to learn about your ecosystem, endangered animals and pollution. If you are well-informed, you can make better decisions about how to save energy and produce less waste. You can also learn how to be a better consumer and not buy products made from endangered animals or which have too much packaging. Also share your concerns with others and find ways to promote environmental education. Help educate people in your community about ways in which they can help protect the environment. The Earth is our only home. We should take good care of it.

Recycle

Make a list of all the things you can recycle at home and at school and start recycling. In some cases, you can sell the things you recycle. In others, you can turn unwanted items into something useful for another purpose, such as using old plastic bottles for growing plants. Most bottles and jars contain at least 25% recycled glass. And recycling aluminum cans saves 95% of the energy needed to make aluminum from bauxite ore. Recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees, 26,000 liters of water, 1,700 liters of oil, 266 kilograms of air pollution and 2.3 cubic meters of rubbish dump space.

Use less energy

The easiest way to save energy is to cycle or walk whenever possible instead of using public transportation. At home and at school, you should only use electric lights and electrical appliances when you need them. There are many other less obvious ways of saving energy. For example, try to ask your mum to buy food which has been grown locally. Why? When people buy food from far away, it takes extra energy to package and ship it by boat, train, truck or plane.

Save water

You can save water by helping your Dad repair leaking pipes and toilets. Take short showers instead of baths. Some waste water from baths can be used for other purposes, such as watering plants or washing outdoor spaces. It is important to help preserve the local water quality by not pouring dangerous household chemicals down the drain or into the ground. Dispose of them properly.

63. The target readers of this passage could mostly probably be ________．

A. housewives

B. car drivers

C. businessmen

D. students

64. Which of the following is NOT mentioned to protect the Earth?

A. Don't buy products made from endangered animals.

B. Don't buy food produced in faraway places.

C. Don't order more than you can eat at a restaurant.

D. Don't buy goods with heavy packaging.

65. According to the passage, the underlined words ―bauxite ore‖ in the third paragraph refers to ________．

A. a metal which can be used to make cans

B. a mineral from which a certain metal can be obtained

C. a container in which a certain material can be stored

D. a matter which can be used to produce energy

66. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A. You can do these!

B. Recycling to save the Earth

C. Celebrate the World Environment Day!

D. Use less water and energy

D

Charles Dickens was one of the most beloved storytellers in the English language. His novels made him famous in his own time, and continue as classics in ours.

Dickens began his literary career with almost no formal education. He was born in Landport, on Feb. 7, 1812, the second of eight children. When he was 12, his father was sent to debtor's prison. Dickens was forced to quit school and work in a London blacking factory. He would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life.

―He was a social reformer,‖ says actor Simon Callow, author of a new biography called Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World. ―He knew what poverty was. He knew what it was to be rejected, to be cast aside, to live in squalor(悲惨).‖

And so Dickens wrote with great sympathy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable(易受攻击的) children—characters like David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and the orphan, Oliver Twist：

With his slice of bread in his hand, and his little brown parish cap on his head, Oliver was now led away from the wretched(苦难的) home, where one kind word or look never lighted the gloom of his infant(幼儿) days.

Yet he burst into an agony of childish grief as the cottage gate closed after him. Wretched as were the little companions in misery he was now leaving behind him, they were the only friends he had ever had.

His first book Sketches by Boz came out in 1836. With the appearance of Oliver Twist in London periodicals in 1837, the 25-year-old Dickens became the most popular writer in England. But his first love was theater, and he considered becoming an actor.

―When he was actually writing, he became his characters,‖ says Peter Ackroyd, author of Dickens: Public Life and Private Passion. ―He would get up from his desk, go over to the mirror and mouth the words—do the expressions, grimaces(鬼脸), whatever, and then laugh, chuckle to himself, then go back to his desk and write it down.‖Dickens created 989 named characters, which increased his popularity. Every one of his major works has been adapted for either stage or screen. A Christmas Carol inspired more than a dozen films, from Alistair Sims' Scrooge in 1951 to Jim Carrey's voicing of the same character in Disney's 2009, 3-D animated film.

The original 1843 manuscript(手稿) of A Christmas Carol is on display at the Morgan Library. Dickens wrote everything by hand, in tiny script, with a quill pen. Remarkably, the manuscript is both the first and the final draft, says Kiely, the curator. You can see where Dickens has changed the name of the first chapter from ―Old Marley's Ghost‖ to ―Marley's Ghost‖. Further down the page, he has canceled an entire section.

―He realizes he's not writing a novel, and he only has a very short time in which to write this,‖ Kiely explains. ―He's got to keep it tight, in order for it to be published in time for Chri stmas.‖

Dickens wrote all the time. He traveled with a portable inkwell and a supply of quill pens. He was working on his last novel, Our Mutual Friend, en route from France to London when the train he was on crashed.

Dickens died five years later in 1870, after a stroke at age 58. As a comic talent and a social reformer, Dickens' achievement was extraordinary, says novelist T. C. Boyle, who earned a doctorate in Victorian literature.

―He achieved what any great artist achieves—a body of work that has entertained and delighted and instructed people down through the ages. That's what we all hope for,‖ says Boyle.

But Dickens' greatest fiction was his own character, says Callow, the biographer：―People think of him as a cheerful man... but he was increasingly suffering from depression and a sense of hopelessness. And that's worth knowing. I think it's always good to know that great creative individuals have their struggle, their drama.‖

67. What can probably be reflected in Dickens' works?

A. His love for his family.

B. His childhood sufferings.

C. His desire for formal education.

D. His reason to choose literary career.

68. The author quotes Dickens' description of Oliver Twist mainly to show ________．

A. that Dickens was full of pity for poor children

B. that Dickens knew well about poor children

C. what real poverty was like in his days

D. what kind of life Oliver Twist lived

69. It can be inferred from the passage that ________．

A. Sketches by Boz is nothing but a complete failure

B. Oliver Twist made Dickens first known to the public

C. A Christmas Carol proved Dickens an efficient writer

D. Our Mutual Friend came into being on a train

70. We can learn from the passage that ________．

A. all the characters created by Dickens are popular

B. people prefer films based on Dickens' novels to his works

C. once Dickens was more interested in performing than in writing

D. the films and plays based on Dickens' novels raise his popularity

71. What did Dickens intend to do by telling his stories?

A. To amuse his readers and change society.

B. To analyze the nature of society he was in.

C. To make an attack on the upper class of the time.

D. To get rid of his depression and sense of hopelessness.

第一部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

The most wonderful time of the year (the Christmas season) is also the most stressful for lots of people struggling to fit in increased end-of-the-year workloads, holiday parties, shopping, guest hosting, travel, and seeing friends and relatives who you’d otherwise avoid. Luckily, the same coping mechanisms that can help relieve stress and find better balance during the year also work for this holiday.

Here are four tips to finding work—life balance during this season.

1. Know and avoid your stressors(压力源).

If cooking for a large group, baking cookies, or Christmas shopping are your key stressors, don’t do them. Lots of grocery stores will help cater your next holiday meal. Bakeries exist for a reason, and gift cards are much appreciated by all. Sto p trying to live up to someone else’s expectations of the holidays and stay merry by outsourcing the pain points.

2. Get flexible at work.

If you normally travel an hour each way at work, see if your boss will let you work from home in this special season to save time, get more done, and reduce your stress. Or ask if you can start work from home in the mornings and come to the office later in the day to avoid peak hours. Leave early and finish your day from the comfort of home, too.

3. Make your own list and check it twice.

Make a to-do list for yourself, for both work and life, then divide it up into categories like ―must do,‖ ―want to do,‖ and ―feel obligated to do.‖ If you can remove any or all of your required list, the rest of your to-dos will start to look a lot easier.

Once you have your lists in order, it’s time to start crossing things off. In between your must-dos tasks, include a want-to-do task to break things up and re-energize yourself. Yes, this holiday is a time to give back to others and be selfless, but there’s still a bit of ―self‖ in selflessness, isn’t there?

4. If you start to feel a cold coming on, come to a full and complete stop.

The best way to stop a cold from exploding into a weeks-long sickness is to stop it at the start. Unless a task or activity is an absolute necessity, cancel your plans, put away your to-do lists, and settle in for a long winter’s nap. A day of rest and enough sleep is the only thing you NEED right now. Feel bad about declining holiday invitations from your friends and family? You’re doing them a favor. Once people hear that you’re sick, they’ll be glad you stayed away —they don’t want to come down with a cold during the holiday any more than you do!

It is certain that you can feel less stressed in this hectic season when you stop expecting so much from yourself, because nobody puts so much expectation on you as you do to yourself. Trying to satisfy clients, co-workers, friends and family can be draining and can finally negatively impact you in many ways. When you simplify things up front, you relieve the stress off of yourself and everyone else in the process. Stop focusing on what you feel like you’re obligated to do, and start focusing on what you want and need to do, the load will get lighter and you will feel a lot merrier under the Christmas tree.

Introduction ◆The Christmas 2 is often a time when work and social activities collide

with each other.

南师附中面试讲义教师版

第一部分面试流程及常见问题 第一环节：开场白 May I come in? 我可以进来么？ Hello，everyone. (微笑，鞠躬) 问好 第二环节：Introduce yourself 自我介绍 Good morning/afternoon, everyone. My name is xxxx,15 years old this year. I was born in xxxx , jiangsu. I like reading books and playing computer. At the same time ,I love English ,so I want to study here. Thank you for your attention. 这不仅是双方面试交谈开始的话题，你的回答也将决定随后面试谈话的具体内容。例如：在自我介绍时，有的学生会谈到自己喜欢一门外语，那随后的面试大部分时间都会讨论其兴趣来源和发展；有的学生会谈到对于环保事业的关注或热爱，那随后的话题将集中于对该爱好的深度挖掘。因此，在自我介绍时谈到的内容非常关键，你需要主次分明、逻辑清晰地介绍自己的兴趣爱好和重要成就。如果你更喜欢和挚爱艺术，那么则需要适当给面试官传递信号，让你们的面试主题锁定于你最擅长的话题。 问题：有的学生为了讨好面试官，企图在自我介绍时罗列所有活动。 原因：在面试官获取信息过多时，他们很难判断被面试者的独特“标签“是什么，最值得深度提问的兴趣或爱好是哪一方面。 建议：请不要用这种方式去讨好面试官，在自我介绍时，重心理应集中于你最有激情的1-2项活动经历，便于在后面的话题中深度地分析你的激情和活动细节，这会让面试官对你具有深刻、长久的记忆度。 问题：学生喜欢讲一些缺乏细节的抽象词语。如：我很努力、我很有同情心、我很负责任…… 原因：没有人喜欢自卖自夸的人，作为申请者你理应谦虚成熟。即使想要告诉面试官你有一些特质，你也需要技巧性地去表达和展示，让面试官通过具体例子自己总结出：这个学生是一个努力而负责的人。 建议：尽量让自己的面试问题回答自然—不必刻意去谈学习成绩或活动经历。请时刻记得面试的主要目的是帮助学校更好地了解你。如果你有一些与学习无关的人生故事想分享，你需要有勇气去分享这些故事让面试官认识一个最真实的你。例如：你可以谈自己如何在艰难的环境中照顾兄弟姐妹，自己和朋友间如何相处和成长等。因重复面试学生的工作性质，面试官可能已对一直谈学习、活动的话题感到厌倦。所以，你可以大胆地去谈一谈关于你特殊的经历和故事。 What are your interests?（你的兴趣爱好是什么？） 这个也是在面试中高频出现的问题，所以你需要在参加面试前深度剖析自己和做好充足准备，总结出自己的兴趣爱好和必须要谈到的经历，当遇到这些问题的时候顺气自然地联系到自己熟悉的问题。请一定不要不假思索地讲一大堆自己根本没有好好准备的答案。 Why are you interested in our school?（你为什么对我们学校感兴趣？） 学校总想知道申请者为什么想去他们学校，所以你需要为这个问题有充分的研究和准备。你的回答越具体就越能体现你对他们学校的了解，越能体现你非常希望利用他们学校的资源实现自己的目标，帮助学校快速确定哪些学生是录取后极有可能去的，哪些学生是有潜力和能力在他们学校取得成功的。 Why do you think you should be admitted to our school?（你为什认为我们应该录取你？）这个问题非常难回答，一方面申请者需要有自信说服面试官自己为何值得被录取，另一方面申请者又必须要技巧性地推销自己，不要让面试官觉得申请者是一个自负的人。所以，回答好这个问题的关键不在于谈自己有如何的好，而在于提供充足而具体的例子证明自己的技能和特质。如果我们仔细分析，这一个问题和上一个问题是同类别的，所以你在回答这个问题时，除了展示自己的“卖点”，还要结合能为学校带去的贡献来细谈。 What are your favorite books/movies? Why? （你最喜欢的书籍和电影，为什么？）

高二上学期英语开学考试试卷 一、阅读理解 1. 阅读理解 As one of the world’s oldest holidays, Halloween is still celebrated today in several countries around the globe, but it is in North America and Canada that it maintains its highest level of popularity. Every year, 65% of Americans decorate their homes and offices for Halloween. Halloween is the holiday when the most candy is sold and is second only to Christians in terms of total sales. Austria In Austria, some people will leave bread, water and a lighted lamp on the table before retiring on Halloween night. The reason for this is that it was once believed such items would welcome the dead souls back to earth on a night which for the Austrians was considered to be brimmingwith strong cosmic energies. Belgium The Belgians beli eve that it is unlucky for a black cat to cross one’s path and also unlucky if it should enter a home or travel on a ship. The custom in Belgium on Halloween night is to light candles in memory of dead relatives. Canada Modern Halloween celebrations in Canada began with the arrival of Scottish and Irish immigrants in the 1800s. Jack- O- Lantern is carved and the

江苏省南京市南京师范大学附属中学2020-2021学年高一上学期 10月月考英语试卷

2020-2021 学年南师附中高一上学期英语单元检测卷 第一部分: 阅读理解(共两节，满分26 分) 第一节: 阅读短文(共8 小题; 每小题2 分，满分16 分) 请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A The clothes you wear. The food you eat. The color of your bedroom walls. Where you go and how you get there. The people you hang around with. What time you go to bed. What do these things have in common? You’re asking. They’re just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child. As a kid, you didn’t have a say in very much that went on; your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal you ate in the morning to the pajamas you wore at night. And it’s a good thing, too-kids need this kind of protection and assistance because they aren’t mature enough to take c are of themselves and make careful decisions on their own. But finally, kids grow up and become teens. And part of being a teen is developing your own identity (身份认同)---one that is separate from your parents’. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions, your parents have a difficult time adjusting (调整). They aren’t used to the new you yet --- they only know you as the kid who had everything decided for you and didn’t mind. In many families, it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger quarrels, because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are. The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teen has a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, focus on communicating with your parents. Sometimes this can feel impossible --- like they just don’t see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents and you may be able to reach compromises (和解) that make everyone happy. For example, if you are willing to clean your room in order to stay out an hour later, both you and your parents walk away with a good deal. Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you’re going through. 1.In Paragraph 2. the author . https://www.sodocs.net/doc/041135139.html,plains that parents control kids too much B.proves that kids have no right to give their opinions C.describes how carefully parents look after kids D.explains parents control kids for protection and assistance 2.A lot of fighting breaks out between teens and parents because . A.parents aren’t used to losing control of kids
