高二英语

第Ⅰ卷（选择题）

第一部分阅读（共两节，满分 50 分）

第一节（共 14 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 35 分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

(2019·安徽江淮名校期中)Peggy Whitson's job demands a daily twohour workout in a gym

where weight has no meaning and the view changes at 17，000 miles an hour.

Whitson makes it look easy. At 57, she is the oldest woman to fly in space, breaking

the record last November when she began her third longterm stay at the International Space

Station. After returning home in September, 2017, the NASA astronaut felt matter of fact

about the age milestone(里程碑)．

“It wasn't a record I was seeking for，”Whitson said.“I was 42 and 48 for my first

two space flights. I feel lucky that I was able to get to do another one in my 50s. I don't

think people should let age discourage them, even on those jobs that require some amount of

physical fitness. The oldest man is John Glenn (at 77), and we've had male astronauts in

their 60s before, so it's just a matter of time before women start flying in space at this

age”．

On the earth, she stays fit by weightlifting, biking, playing basketball and water

skiing. She shared what it's like to live in microgravity：“It's like you're in a swimming

pool, but you don't have to worry about breathing.If I push off from one side, I'm going to

float to the other side.Every direction feels exactly the same, which is really hard for

your brain to grasp, but it's amazing how fast you adapt.

It's a big shock for the body to come back to Earth—everything is so heavy. We spend a

lot of time getting used to being back in gravity again. Back pain was really the most

dramatic for me this time. For me, coming home is harder than going up into space.”

1．What does the underlined word probably mean in the passage?

A．Amazing.　　　　 B．Natural.

C．Enthusiastic. D．Unbelievable.

2．How many days did Peggy Whitson spend for her third stay in the International Space

Station?

A．About 300 days. B．About 708 days.

C．About 107 days. D．About 57 days.　

3．According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A．Peggy Whitson is the oldest person to fly in space, breaking the record.

B．There had been female astronauts flying in space in their 60s before.

C．Peggy Whitson likes swimming most to stay fit on the earth.

D．Peggy Whitson had been in space in 2002 and 2008.

4．Which of the following will Peggy Whitson probably say?

A．You can still be successful and do physical things when you get old.

B．I spent quite a lot of time getting used to the life in space.

C．The moment we reached the earth, we felt so relaxed.

D．I feel lucky that I am physically all right after the whole journey.

Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone

happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the

sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates,

relatives and neighbours whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.

Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who

lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected,_he

developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered.He did this by

giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbours, he gave those people

small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders

began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”．Over time,

the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost

their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering

others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the

USA.

Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious beliefs or on a family

relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it

meaning.Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving, Sweetest Day

offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.

5．Which of the following has little relationship to Sweetest Day?

A．Visiting sick people of the hospital.

B．Visiting children who have lost their parents.

C．Giving friends small gifts.

D．Giving flowers to sweethearts.

6 ．What do most people usually do to show their care to others according to the

passage?

A．They give money. B．They give gifts.

C．They send regards. D．They offer help.

7．The underlined word “neglected” in the second paragraph means “________”．

A．remembered

B．hated

C．paid little or no attention to

D．disappointed

My husband and I recently went to Disney World with our children and grandchildren. Our

grandchildren were excited about the attraction where they can drive the cars. Since our

party was uneven in numbers and two people fit in each car, I sat out that one and headed

down to take pictures of them.

As I waited for them to drive by, I noticed a car with a father and his son who looked

to be about 7. They rolled down the hill, and then as they neared where I sat, the car

shook a few times and then stopped.

The young driver looked frightened, “I can't do it.”

His father quietly said, “Yes, you can.”

“No, I can't！”

“Yes, you can.”

The little boy was almost in tears, “I CAN'T！”

With deep patience, the father said, “Son, you can do this. I'm going to help you.”

Then he talked him through starting the car. And moments later with the father helping

his son, the two went smoothly on their way down the track.

The scene brought tears to my eyes because I couldn't imagine how many times my father

had to do that with me.Every time things got hard or when I had failures along the way, I'd

say, “I can't do it.” He'd reply, “You can.” Time and time again he patiently

encouraged me on the journey. And just like that little boy's dad, my sweet father would

say, “Michelle, you can do this. I'm going to help you.”

That's where the true strength comes in. I can't do things under my own power, but when

my father comes beside me and provides wisdom ( 智慧) and strength, there's no way I can

fail.

A．He got the car to leave the track.

B．He failed to drive the car well.

C．He rolled too fast down the way.

D．He just couldn't get the car started.

A．By forcing him to drive bravely.

B．By praising him for his efforts.

C．By encouraging him patiently.

D．By starting the car himself.

Eating spicy foods frequently may be tied to a slightly lower risk of an earlier

death ， according to a new study.However ， more research is needed to confirm the

link，experts say.

The researchers found that the people in the study who ate spicy foods one or two days

a week were 10 percent less likely to die during the study, compared with those who ate

spicy foods less than once a week，according to the study published in the journal

The

BMJ

Moreover, the people in the study who ate spicy foods three or more days a week were 14

percent less likely to die during the study, compared with those who ate spicy foods less

than once a week.

However，the study was observational, and so it is too early to tell whether there is a

certain relationship between eating spicy foods and lower mortality,_said study author Lu

Qi ， an associate professor at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts.

“We definitely need more data from other populations ， ” Qi told

Live

Science

.“The

researchers don't know why exactly the consumption of spicy foods may be linked to the drop

of early death, but previous research on cells and animals has suggested several possible

connections，” Qi said.

“It is unclear whether the observed associations are the direct result of spicy foods

intake, or whether spicy foods are simply a marker for other beneficial but unmeasured

dietary components( 成分 ) ， ” said Nita Forouhi ， a nutritional expert. At this point,

researchers don't know for sure whether eating spicy foods can have a beneficial effect on

human health and mortality, Forouhi wrote.“Future research is needed to make sure whether

spicy food consumption has the potential to improve health and reduce mortality directly,

or if it is merely a marker of other dietary and lifestyle factors，” she said.

13．Which section of a newspaper is the article probably taken from?

A．Advertisement. B．Business.

C．Science. D．Education.

14．What does the underlined word “mortality” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Death rate. B．Living cost.

C．Physical suffering. D．Energy requirement.

15．What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．Link between food and health.

B．Association between a certain food and health.

C．Connection between habits and health.

D．Relation between food and health.
