Leonardo da Vinci Leonardo da Vinci, born in 1452 inTuscany, Italy, was a genius. His one - of - a - kind gift was expressing human emotions, which earned him a name from an early age. He kept painting until his death in France in 1519. His Mona Lisa is a painting that was originally left incomplete but has become the world’s most famous picture. Vincent van Gogh Vincent van Gogh, born in the Netherlands in 1853, is widely regarded as one of the finest post - impressionist painters of all time. He did not become an artist until he was in his late twenties. In 1886, he traveled to Paris, where he met Paul Gauguin, who encouraged Van Gogh to develop his own style. He died in 1890 after suffering from mental health problems. Van Gogh became famous after his death. Claude Monet Claude Monet, born in Paris in 1840, was a talented French artist who is widely considered as one of the most important painters. He was recognized for his talents when he was young and he was the first to employ oil and outdoor methods. The word “impressionism” was created after his picture Impression, Sunrise. Monet died at age 86. Pablo Picasso Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain, in late 1881. He began drawing at a young age and had gotten his first lessons in the use of oil paints from his father by the time he was seven. In 1900, he moved to Paris and sold his first painting there.

Shall we review the text together?” After greeting her student Hei Hei, Ko, in a light blue uniform, turns on her tablet computer and begins to teach at the bedside. Founded in 1954, the Hong Kong Red Cross Hospital Schools initially provided services in only one public medical institution. Now, it is a special education institute funded by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, with 26 school units attached to 19 public hospitals. Its services are mainly divided into three fields — general specialty, psychiatry, and homebound teaching programs. The first two provide services for hospitalized students to reduce their difficulties in returning to school, while homebound teaching is aimed at students who need to stay at home to recover for a long period. Teachers are assigned to different hospitals or students’ homes and shift on a regular basis. Depending on the situation, teachers will carry out small group or one-on-one bedside teaching, and each session lasts about 30 minutes. “Teaching children in a hospital? I was curious and keen to know more about it,” Ko recalls, explaining she first learned about the school from a newspaper report in 2009 when she had just finished her master’s degree in language. Ko, who also studied special education, applied for a teaching position at the school and was hired as a Chinese language teacher. Teachers in hospitals have to meet students with different medical conditions and face all kinds of challenges every day, but Ko regards these experiences as training, which have led her to have a deeper appreciation of life. Over the years, Ko has received a lot of greeting cards from parents and students showing their appreciation. Looking at these warm words of encouragement, she silently sends her best wishes to the students. “I hope they can soon recover and go back to school, and continue to pursue their dreams,” she says. 4. What is Ko doing? A. Teaching at home. B. Teaching online. C. Teaching in a hospital. D. Teaching in a regular classroom. 5. What do we know about the Hong Kong Red Cross Hospital Schools? A. It was founded by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government. B. It offers teaching services for students both in hospital and at home. C. It runs on money raised from the public. D. It assigns teachers to the same hospitals or students’ homes. 6. Probably why did Ko apply for a teaching position at the school? A. Because she was curious about teaching. B. Because she knew a lot about the school. C. Because she just graduated from university. D. Because she could apply what she had learned. 7. Which can best describe Ko? A. Passionate and dedicated. B. Responsible and diligent. C. Genuine and aggressive. D. Self-centered and sensitive. C If you struggle with insomnia (失眠)— and, consequently, the bed-covers—you probably have been tempted to try anything that promises better sleep. One thing might sound a little strange but has been known to work: adding a weighted blanket to those bed- covers. “It has become the sleep tool to have,” says Alanna McGinn, founder and lead sleep expert at Good Night Sleep Site. “I’m a huge supporter because it can work so well.” About 32% of Americans don’t get enough sleep, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts there recommend at least seven hours of shut-eye per night for adults. But as many as 35% of adults have trouble sleeping from time to time, and 10% regularly have trouble falling and staying asleep. The weight—usually between 5 and 30 pounds, which sounds like a lot but is spread out over the entire bed—comes from plastic, glass or metal balls surrounded by filling. The heaviness imitates a touch therapy called deep pressure stimulation. Just as swaddling babies can send them to sleep, using a weighted blanket helps your heart and breathing slow and your body release feel good hormones, including serotonin. A 2020 review looked at eight studies and concluded that weighted blankets helped reduce anxiety but not necessarily insomnia. Other research tells a slightly different story. A study in Sweden in 2020 looked at 120 people with insomnia and also depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety or attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Those who used a weighted blanket reported that they had better sleep and were less tired, anxious and depressed during the day. People with circulatory conditions such as diabetes, or breathing issues such as asthma or sleep apnea (窒息), should check with their doctor before using a weighted blanket. “And if you’re someone who gets a little claustrophobic, it’s probably not the best thing for you,” adds McGinn. 8. What will people with insomnia probably do? A. Tend to be cheated. B. Struggle to drop asleep. C. Work for the sleep tool. D. Be cautious about the blanket. 9. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The severity of sleep trouble. B. Americans suffering insomnia. C. Sleep difficulty caused by aging. D. Experts’ advice on sleeping hours. 10. Why does the author mention “swaddling babies” in paragraph 3? A. To define a concept. B. To present a result. C. To explain the principle. D. To draw a conclusion. 11. What can be inferred about the application of the weighted blanket? A. It can extend people’s lifespan. B. It can help people feel more relaxed. C. It is friendly to people with breathing issues. D. It is a request to get the doctor s permission. D Zara is now one of the world’s hottest fashion chains. The secret to its success is that Zara stands out in supply chain management. In fact, Zara succeeds by first breaking and then rewriting industry rules. Industry rule number one: Avoid stock-outs (缺货). From Zara’s point of view, stock-outs are a good thing, since occasional shortages contribute to a shopper’s urge to “buy now”. At Zara, items sell out fast, with new products arriving at stores twice a week. By giving just a short window of opportunity to purchase a limited quantity of products, Zara’s customers are motivated to visit the stores more frequently. Rule number two: Outsource (外包) for cheaper production. In contrast to traditional outsourcing production, Zara has developed a super-responsive supply chain by concentrating more than half of its production in Spain (the birthplace) and its nearby countries. This means it can design, produce, and deliver a new item of clothing to its stores in a quarter of the normal time. Also, outsourcing may not necessarily be “low cost”. Errors in trend prediction can easily lead to unsold inventory (库存), forcing their retail stores to offer bigger discounts (打折). Zara’s ability to design and make new clothes quickly means shorter lead times and an ever-changing inventory. So it sells more at full price. Rule number three: Go for efficiency through mass production. By producing products in large quantities, as is the industry norm, companies can benefit from it. Zara, however, intentionally deals in small numbers. Because of the greater flexibility and speed this approach affords, Zara does not worry about missing the boat when it comes to trends. When new trends emerge, Zara can react quickly. Also, it runs its supply chain with a fast but predictable rhythm: Every store places orders on Tuesday/Wednesdy and Friday/Saturday. Both store staff and regular customers know exactly when shipments will arrive. Certainly, Zara has no shortage of competitors. But few have successfully copied its fast fashion and flexible business model yet. 12. Why do customers visit Zara stores more frequently? ABecause of its regular huge discounts. B. Because of its wide variety of clothing. C. Because of the high quality of its products. D. Because of limited availability of its items. 13. How has Zara developed a super-responsive supply chain? A. By predicting future fashion trends accurately. B. By designing and making new clothes quickly. C. By making most of goods in or near its headquarters. D. By having factories in different countries around the world. 14. Which can best explain the underlined phrase? A. Being too late for delivery. B. Working on a tight schedule. C. Failing to take advantage of a chance. D. Producing products in large quantities. 15. What’s the text mainly about? A. Ups and downs of Zara. B. Secrets to Zara’s success. C. Rules of the fashion industry. D. Competition in the fashion industry. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 When the cold weather hits, swimming is probably an activity that’s far from your mind. ____16____.

I’m a single mother of two sons. I’ve got a busy work schedule and limited resources. But there is one thing I don’t worry about: when I come home at night, dinner is already started. A typical weeknight at my house looks like this: My youngest child is snapping (咬) the ends off the green beans. My eldest is mixing his secret salad dressing. The babysitter is working on the shopping list for tomorrow’s dinner-the kids want to make roasted noodles. I throw on an apron, send the babysitter home and join my kids in the dinner preparations. Sounds too far-fetched for your home? It doesn’t have to be. If my family can do it. Any family can. Our meals weren’t always such happy group efforts. Seven years ago, my life was ruined by divorce, leaving me with a six-month-old baby and a very angry seven-year-old. I had no family nearby and very little money. The burden of rebuilding my career as a food writer and publicist while single-parenting my children on my own seemed difficult. While I did my best to work during my youngest’s nap times, by day’s end I was physically and emotionally exhausted. Typically, I shooed(嘘)the boys out of the kitchen so I could perform yet another chore: making dinner. When I got the meal on the table, I left them to eat alone so I could have five minutes’ peace. Going back to my bedroom, I collapsed onto my bed and cried. I felt horrible about my family life and helpless to change it. A year passed, but not much improved. At the end of my rope, one evening I gave some vegetable leaves at my youngest, who was then eighteen months old, so he’d leave me alone. It was incredible! He spent ten minutes happily tearing the leaves into little pieces. I was shocked at how he stayed on the task without saying a word. Suddenly, I saw an opportunity. He wanted to help me, and I surely needed help. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Why not let them cook with me? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I stopped worrying about the mess and we started to laugh a lot. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二英语下学期期末复习模拟练习卷参考答案 第一部分 第一节阅读理解： DDC CBDA BACB DCCB 第二节短文七选五： GFDAE 第二部分 第一节完形填空： CDABD ACBAC DCBCD 第二节语法填空： 36.that 37. readily 38. happiness 39. to celebrate 40. wonderful 41. and 42. performed 43. has 44. an 45. becoming 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
