Jane Austen(1775-1817) She wrote about what life was like during the late 1700s and early 1800s through the books Sense and Sensibility,Pride and Prejudice,Mansfield Park,and Emma.These books were released within just four years of each other.Two other books,Northanger Abbey and Persuasion,were published after she died.Her face is now on the new f10 note,reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all. Florence Nightingale(1820-1910) She was born into a wealthy family,which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession.After receiving a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers 【高二1月救学质量检测·英语第2页（共8页）】 24.Which is closest in meaning to "vague"underlined in paragraph 1?

C In Finland,it's a basic duty for the government to provide the public with sporting possibilities.That thinking started in the 1970s,when the government built gyms in even the smallest towns.Now,there are about 30,000 sports facilities across the country.Walkways and bike paths snake through the cities.Public swimming pools are everywhere.Here you can just step out of your door and do sports. Finns do just that.Half of women and a third of men bike to work.About a fifth of the country belongs to sports clubs.Some people even play sports at work.For example,every Wednesday morning,a group of scientists at the University of Jyvaskyla leave their desks to play "futsal",an indoor form of soccer,in a gym across the street.It's one of the most popular team sports in the country,along with floor ball and Finnish baseball.A nearby chocolate factory has a gym and offers aerobics classes. "Employers started to encourage sports participation about a century ago in the forestry industry,"says Hanna Vehmas,a sports scientist at the University of Jyvaskyla"Nowadays,%of employers support their employees'physical activities in some way.Each year,they spend an average of about $220 per employee for physical activities. One reason why employers tend to support their employees'physical activities is due to a tax break. Businesses can deduct()money spent on employees'physical well-being. "But there's something else.We have a lot of research showing that spending money on employees'well-being will bring back as much as six times the money spent,"says Vehmas."Because healthy employees do better work. They also don't have as many sick days.And staying fit,especially by playing sports together,could help build company loyalty()which is actually even more important than the health side." Physically active people also save the health care system a lot of money.Data from the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs Health shows that people who bike and walk save the health care system as much as $5.5 billion each year. 28.Why are the scientists at the University of Jyvaskyla mentioned in paragraph 2? A.To tell the popularity of a unique sport. B.To describe the process of an experiment. C.To show the easy access to sports facilities. D.To call for more public participation in sports. 29.When did the forestry industry start to encourage sports participation? A.About 50 years ago. B.About 60 years ago. C.About 80 years ago. D.About 100 years ago. 30.What does Hanna Vehmas say about the effort for employees'physical well-being? A.It is a waste of money. B.It brings in various benefits. C.It takes too much time. D.It cuts workers'productivity. 【高二1月教学质量检测·英语第4页（共8页）】 during the Crimean War,she moved to London.This was the first time that women were allowed to serve in the army. She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria.She left a legacy in healthcare in the war. Marie Curie(1867-1934) One of the most famous scientists of all time comes in the form of Marie Curie.Together with her fellow scientist and husband Pierre,she made amazing work on their discoveries.In 1903,they received a Nobel Prize. She won another Nobel Prize in 1911,the first woman to do so.The Curies were the pair who made discoveries on radioactivity,which paved the way for the creation of X-rays. Mother Teresa(1910-1997) In September 2016,Mother Teresa was announced to be named as a Saint,which she deserves after her devotion to helping people in poverty.In 1929,she traveled to India and dedicated her whole life to helping poor people,especially in the Indian city of Kolkata.She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration.She then suggested giving all of the money to the poor people in Kolkata. 21.Why is the f10 note mentioned in the text?

B Elon Musk has been talking about turning the social media platform Twitter into X for months,while being vague about what that exactly means.Does X represent a major business experiment?A totally new concept for on-line living?Or is it simply one man's addiction to the 24th letter of the alphabet? Probably it's all of the above,according to Ashlee Vance,the author of Elon Musk:Tesla,SpaceX,and the Quest for a Fantastic Future.In one of his earliest business adventures,Musk called his online bank X.com. That name was later dropped when the platform was bought by a competitor and became PayPal. "Everyone tried to talk him out of naming the company that back then,but he really liked it and refused to give in,”said Vance, X is already in the name of Tesla's third electric car model,which was announced to the public in 2015.His spaceflight company is called SpaceX.In 2020,Musk even named his youngest son"X E A-12". But lately,naming his social media platform "X"may refer to Musk's newest ambition,building an "everything app"like China's popular WeChat."He wants to create an app similar to how WeChat is used in China,where it's part of day-to-day life.You use it to communicate,to consume news,to buy things,to pay your rent,to make appointments with your doctor and even to pay fines,"said Vance."Following the WeChat model makes sense with what Musk wants for Twitter.The company clearly needs a new,bigger business if it's to make the type of money that would justify his investment and satisfy his ambition." But social media experts are questioning about Musk's"everything app"."I'm not sure he has enough trust from his user base to get people to actually exchange money or attach any type of financial institution to his app," Jennifer Grygiel,a professor at Syracuse University,told NPR."I think this is a way to destroy it,instead of recreating it as something else." 【高二1月教学质量检测·英语第3页（共8页）】 31.What is the best title for the text? A.How Can Finns Make Sports Part of Everyday Life? B.Why Are There So Many Sports Facilities Across Finland? C.Why Has Finland Become the Healthiest Country in the World? D.How Can Employers in Finland Be Encouraged to Spend on Sports? D "Nurse refuses to perform CPR and lets an elderly woman die at a nursing house in California!"read the headline of an ABC news report several days ago.Later,it turned out that the elderly woman had wished to die naturally. Then why did the woman refuse CPR?It is necessary for us to know what CPR can,and can't,do. The discovery that CPR could save life was first reported in 1878,from experiments on cats.It wasn't until 1959 that researchers at Johns Hopkins applied the method to humans.The excitement at its simplicity was clear:"Anyone,anywhere,can now do CPR,"the researchers wrote."All that is needed is two hands."In the 1970s,CPR classes were developed for flight attendants,coaches,and babysitters are now often required to study CPR. But most people learn what they know about CPR from television.In 2015,researchers found that survival after CPR on TV was 70%.In real life,people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%.This may explain the attitude that everyone should know CPR,and that everyone who experiences heart attack should receive it. However,it cannot be further from truth.In 2010,a review of 79 studies,involving almost 150,000 patients,found that the average rate of survival from out-of-hospital heart attack had barely changed in thirty years.It was 7.6%.On-site CPR may increase those chances to 10%.Survival after CPR for in-hospital heart attack is slightly better,but still only about 17%.The numbers get even worse with age.A study in Sweden found that survival after out-of-hospital CPR dropped from 6.7%for patients in their 70s to just 2.4%for those over 90. The harm,as it turns out,can be very serious.Broken bones are the most common problem,but the procedure can also cause lung and liver damage.The biggest problem is brain injury.When the heart stops,the brain begins to die within minutes.So about 30%of survivors will have significant mental disability.The side effects of CPR may be why as many as half of patients who survive wish they hadn't received it. 32.About one hundred years after the discovery of CPR, A.it started to be applied to humans B.it was popularized in some professions C.it became a necessary qualification for babysitters D.it was perfected by researchers at Johns Hopkins 33.Which aspect of CPR does the fourth paragraph focus on? A.The failed cases. B.Its real effects. C.Its important functions. D.The misunderstanding. 34.What did the 2010 study find about CPR? A.The public was unwilling to accept it. B.It had much better effects on the elderly. C.The average rate of survival remained low. D.It had to be carried out on time by professionals. 35.What is the most serious harm suffered by CPR survivors? A.Hurt backs. B.Broken bones. C.Injured lung. D.Damaged brain. 【高二1月救学质量检测·英语第5页（共8页）】 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。 Few people get excited about meetings.Meetings often become long-winded affairs where many people are not really contributing,and,sometimes,that happens because the people have no real reason to be there.

Standing there was a little lady with gray hair,following a dog.She had beautiful blue eyes and got wrinkles all over her face.She was a kind neighbor nearby.Mom said,"Welcome,Mrs.Willow!" "Thank you very much,dear,"Mrs.Willow said,shaking the snow on her shoulders off and adding she was coming here to borrow a pen. Mom said,"OK,wait for a moment and I will find it for you.Mrs.Willow,do you want a cup of tea?" Mrs.Willow replied with a yes.They both walked to the drawing room,leaving Lily outside by herself. Mom forgot that a big old English Shepherd dog was standing there,wandering around.Maybe it belonged to Mrs.Willow but at that time Lily was so frightened that she wanted to scream and tried to stand up. Back in the days,when Lily was 5,she loved dogs.Her family at that time owned a German Shepherd.She called it"Bailey"and she loved him.Bailey loved her too.But one day,when she was digging some worms up happily in the garden,her brother Peter drove Bailey so mad that it chased()Peter all around.While Peter was climbing up a tree,Bailey's teeth accidentally caught Lily's leg.Lily cried out in pain,and from then on her legs had occasionally ached and she feared dogs more and more. As the old English Shepherd approached with curiosity,Lily's fear overwhelmed her,causing her to scream and accidentally knock over her wheelchair.The chair leaned and then fell,trapping Lily in the snow.The dog, sensing her distress(),barked for help and attempted to pull her up,but Lily was too heavy. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then,a snow-covered branch of a nearby tree broke and threatened to fall on Lily.
