B Richard Browning has been attracted by flight ever since his father took him into the hills to fly gliders (滑翔机). He has certainly been an adventurer. Richard took it upon himself to develop his own jet suit and began to experiment with some of his friends. He made quick progress. In 2017, he felt confident enough to start a company called Gravity Industries that could make jet suits. It took 15 months to develop the very first one. Five very small jet engines are built into the jet suit. These are powered by kerosene (煤油). Two engines are located on the pilot’s arms and one is placed on the back. Each engine weighs less than two kilos and can produce22 kilos of thrust(推力). The pilot is able to control the direction and speed of the flight. He does this by small movements of the arms which require hours of practice. One wrong move and you could end up falling to the ground. Richard is not only in charge of his company; he is also the chief test pilot. He has spent hours and hours perfecting the correct moves to create a perfect flight. He was able to enter the Guinness Book of World Records in 2017 when he became the fastest man in a jet suit and flew at 51 kilometres per hour. Since then, he has presented his jet suit at 60 events in 20 different countries around the world. More recently, he flew alongside Brighton Pier on the south coast of England at 136 kilometres per hour! The objective of Richard’s company has been to build a suit which members of the public can buy. The first went on sale in a department store in 2018 for f 340, 000. If you want to jet around your own hometown, it’s time to start saving—or to work for Richard Browning. 24.What do we know about Richard? A. He was absorbed in flight. B. He is no stranger to misfortune. C. He is slow in making up his mind. D. He started his company with his father. 25. What can be inferred about Richard’s jet suit? A. It is easy to control. B.

Being good is different from being great. B. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing. C. One cannot succeed without time and practice. D. Luck, talent and friendship help to achieve success. C For the past weeks, melting snow and heavy spring rains have caused the Missouri River to rise above normal levels,flooding parts of Iowa, Nebraska,Missouri, and South Dakota. Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their homes to escape the flood. The Missouri River is the second longest river in the United States. It is the longest river that feeds into the Mississippi River. Resident(居民)in areas along the Missouri River have been building temporary 1evees(堤)along the river .They hope that the levees will prevent the river water from overflowing .On Monday morning,however, several levees in northern Missouri broke. Because of the broken levees, the Missouri River came close to forcing the shutdown of nuclear power plant（核电站) in Brownville, Nebraska. There,the river rose to 900.5 feet. If it rose 18 more inches, officials would have been forced to close the plant for safety reasons. This nuclear plant had been preparing for possible flooding since, May 30th. Workers used over 5,000 tons of sand to construct barricades around the plant. Luckily,the river stopped rising in time and the plant remains open. We knew the river was going to rise for some time, ’Nebraska Public Power District spokesman Mark Becker said. “It was just a matter of when.” Engineers and weather forecasters predict that the river will rise as much as five to seven feet above flood level in Nebraska and Iowa and up to ten feet above the level in Missouri. They think the river will stay high until August. The U.S. government has agreed to give $ 1 billion in emergency money to repair broken levees and areas damaged by the flooding along the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. 28.What does the underlined word "evacuate” in the first paragraph probably mean? A.Repair. B. Change. C.Leave. D. Strengthen. 29.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？ A. The nuclear power plant has been closed since the flood. B.The Missouri River is the longest river in the United States. C. Workers in nuclear plant prepared for the possible flood in advance. D. The U.S. government has given $1 billion to provide food. 30.What can we learn from the engineers and weather forecasters? A.The flood may last till August. B. The end of the flood will come within a week. C. The river will not rise in Nebraska and Missouri until August. D. The river may even rise ten feet above flood level in Iowa. 31.What does the text mainly talk about? A.A nuclear power plant affected by the flood. B.The U.S.government's measures when facing the flood. C.The flooding and damage caused by the rising Missouri River. D.The relationship between the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. D Are aliens trying to contact Earth? Six new mysterious blasts(爆炸)of radio energy are detected from deep space. While the source of the waves remains unknown,some suggest the mysterious bursts of energy could be a sign of alien life trying to contact us. The waves were detected by researchers from McGill University in Montreal. The detection follows 11 previously recorded outbursts from the same location, called FRB121102. This is the only known repeater of fast radio bursts (FRBs). Despite there being a number of FRBs from the site, the origin of the bursts is an ongoing puzzle to researchers. But the researchers say that the repeated outbursts imply that whatever is causing the radio bursts is not a one-time event, such as an explosion or collision. Instead,they say that flares(耀斑)from a young neutron star (中子星)are a promising candidate. Previously when waves have been detected, astronomers have also asked SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) to take a closer look at whether they could be a message from aliens. But it is unclear whether the McGill researchers will ask SETI to help this time. If there are any intelligent alien life forms out there, Stephen Hawking thinks we're playing a dangerous game by trying to contact them.The physicist believes if aliens discovered Earth, they would likely want to conquer and colonize our planet. "If aliens visit us, the outcome could be much like when Columbus landed in America,which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans, "he said in an interview. But co-founder and former director of the SETI Institute, Jill Tarter, doesn't think this will be the case. She argues any aliens who have managed to travel across the universe may be friendly and peaceful.. “The idea of a civilization which has managed to survive far longer than we have..and the fact that the technology remains an aggressive one, to me, doesn't make sense," she said. 32.Why does the author use a question in paragraph 1? A. To attract readers’ attention. B.To let readers answer it. C. To make an argument. D. To question the truth of others' ideas. 33.What is the likely cause of the radio bursts? A.The explosion of a star. B. Messages from aliens. C. Flares from a neutron star. D. A collision between two stars. 34.Which of the following might Stephen Hawking agree with? A. We should try to find the aliens. B.We can play games with the aliens. C. The aliens may conquer the earth. D. The aliens may land in America one day. 35.What's Jill Tarter's attitude towards contact with the aliens? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s estimated that families in the UK create more than six million tonnes of food waste each year.

He put all that he prepared for the coming hiking into his backpack. Mr. Taylor was fond of hiking, this time in particular, for it was the first time for him to hike with his two sons, Harry and Joel. Joel liked reading books about explorers and Harry joined the hiking club in his school this term. “It will be an unforgettable experience, definitely.” he whispered to himself, unconsciously a smile spreading over his face. Harry and Joel, however, argued for the first three miles of their hiking trip. Harry accused Joel of wearing smelly old shoes. Joel blamed Harry for using all of the bug spray (喷雾防虫剂). Harry told Joel he smelled terrible, Joel called Harry a coward (懦夫). “Will the two of you just quiet down and enjoy our hike together ”their father said. “You're missing all of the beautiful scenery!” It was true. Neither Joel nor Harry had taken notice of the bear their father had spied at the start of their trip. They hadn't looked up at the eagle he pointed out overhead. Worst of all, they hadn't paid any attention to the turns and twists along the way while they continued their argument. “Joel threw a stick at me!” Harry screamed. “That's not true!” Joel shouted back. Mr. Taylor could no longer contain his anger. “And both of you need to stop arguing!” he erupted. As he turned to face them, his left foot caught on a root. He slipped backward and down muddy bank, falling into the river that ran alongside the path. Harry and Joel raced to their father's assistance. They helped him up out of the water, and then dragged his wet backpack up onto land. Fortunately, their wet-through father found himself just slightly injured. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 But he lost glasses when he fell in the water. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Just calm down.”Mr. Taylor shouted, “Without my glasses,we need to work together to find our way.”___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 1 页 共 5 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$广元市川师大万达中学高2022级5月月考英语答题卡 考号」 姓名 班级 考场 座位号 注意事项： 准考证号 1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考正 号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在条形 码区域内。 2.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂且按正确填 缺考口 涂方式填涂：■非选择题必须使用0.5 毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整， 笔迹清晰。 和 3.请按照题号顺序在各题目的答题区域内 6 作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在 7 7 7 7 草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效。 四 四 选择题(30分) 四回 6 四回 11四D@ 16▣D回 2 ▣四a 幻四 回 e 四a 17 四回a 四M四 13 团 a 四围 回 4 ▣四回 9 ▣四 【回 14 刀四 四 19 a四a 5四四 10JG四CJ 20四初回 二、阅读(50分) 21▣四回回 26 和四网可 31▣四▣ 36和▣J回▣刀四 22▣四四▣ 27 J四四可 烫 ▣四四四 37四四四四口 23▣B☐☑D▣ 四回四回 3▣四D 38刀B四□四围团G 24口口 29 四回▣ 34 D四aD 9▣四口四和田园 25▣□回D 30可 5 四四 40▣四▣四a四四 三、完型填空(15分) 41I回四 46a▣ 四 51 I四a 轻四四回 47▣面四▣ 52 ▣四四四 43▣四雨▣ 48▣四四可 4卫四四 9四四四四 5利四g四 45▣四D四 0四四可 55四▣四四 四、语法填空(15分) 56 少 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 五、(15分) 第1页 (15分) Boys and girls, Thank you for your listening.
