C What's a spacewalk?Any time an astronaut gets out of a spacecraft while in space,it is called a spacewalk.Astronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons.For example,experiments can be placed on the outside of a spacecraft.This lets scientists learn how being in space affects different things.By going on spacewalks,astronauts can also fix certain things instead of bringing them back to the earth to fix. When astronauts go on spacewalks,they wear spacesuits to keep themselves safe.Inside spacesuits,astronauts have the oxygen they need to breathe and the water they need to drink.To keep the astronauts and the spacecraft safe,the astronauts must leave and go back to the spacecraft through a special door.When on a spacewalk,astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft, which connect the spacewalkers with the spacecraft.They keep astronauts from floating away into space.Another way astronauts stay safe during spacewalks is by wearing a SAFER.SAFER is worn like a backpack.It helps an astronaut move around in space. How do astronauts train for spacewalks?One way is by going for a swim.Floating in space is a lot like floating in water.Astronauts practice spacewalks underwater in a huge special swimming pool. For every one hour they will spend on a spacewalk,astronauts need to train seven hours in the pool. Another way astronauts practice for a spacewalk is by using virtual reality().It looks and feels just like a spacewalk. Today,only three countries have finished spacewalks independently.They are Russia,the United States and China.The first person to go on a spacewalk in the world was Alexei Leonov from Russia.Zhai Zhigang is the first Chinese astronaut to go on a spacewalk. 28.What can an astronaut do by going on a spacewalk? A.Fix different objects. B.Collect any things he wants. C.Carry out an experiment. D.Study how things changes in space. 29.What does the underlined word "tethers"in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Special ropes. B.Spacesuits. C.Spacecraft. D.Special backpacks. 【高二期中·英语第4页（共8页）】 30.According to Paragraph 3,how many ways to train astronauts for spacewalk? A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four. 31.What can we learn from he last two paragraphs? A.Waling in space is as easy as going swimming. B.A virtual reality is useless in a spacewalk. C.Only three countries have never tried spacewalks. D.Alexei Leonov is the first man to go on a spacewalk D Researchers in Singapore found that eating mushrooms over twice per week could help prevent memory and language problems later in life. According to the study,published in The Journal of Alzheimer's Disease,there is a unique antioxidant(抗氧化物质)present in mushrooms that helps protect certain brain functions. Researchers observed 663 Chinese adults aged over 60 whose diets and lifestyles were tracked from 2011 to 2017.In the study,the participants were asked how often they ate six different types of mushrooms:oyster,shiitake,white button,dried,golden and tinned.The findings showed that eating more than two shares of mushrooms per week somehow lowered the chances of mild cognitive impairment(认知缺陷)(MCI)by50%against those who ate fewer than one share. MCI is a condition that can make people forgetful,affect their memory and cause problems with language,attention and finding the exact position of objects in space.Changes in behavior can be not very noticeable and not serious enough to be known as dementia () Participants who ate more mushrooms were found to perform better in thinking and processing exams and also exhibited a faster processing speed.The advantage was reportedly more apparent in those who ate more than two shares a week or more than 300 grams. The scientists pointed out,however,that they have yet to put up a direct link between the fungi (蘑菇)and brain function. The researchers also acknowledged that since this study mainly relied on self-reported information on mushroom intake and other dietary factors,further studies may be required.Still,the lead study author Lei Feng is encouraged by their findings."This relevance is surprising and encouraging,"Lei said. Mushrooms are one of the richest dietary sources of ergothioneine(麦角硫茵氨基酸)一a substance which we humans can't make on our own. 32.What aspect of research did researchers mainly do in paragraph 3? A.Culture of diets B.Existence of MCI. C.The types of mushrooms D.The benefit of eating mushrooms. 33.What can we know about MCI? A.It can affect eyesight seriously. B.It can result in language problems C.It can make people easy to be angry. D.It can reduce the chance of forgetfulness. 34.What is the result if students often eat more mushrooms? A.They love communicating with others. B.Their thinking ability is quicker than the majority. C.Their processing speed will be faster. D.Their academic performance improves significantly. 【高二期中·英语第5页（共8页）】 35.Where is the passage most likely from? A.An advertisement. B.A diary. C.A science report. D.A novel. 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。 Are you trying to find ways to be more efficient at your job?36 They take breaks. Pressing pause(按下暂停)is important..Studies show that prolonged(延长)tasks that require high levels of focus,energy,and attention can cause you to become less productive and focused over time.37 Setting aside a little time here and there to release your focus can significantly help maintain it for longer periods of time. They have a full night's sleep. In school,you may have found that too many students stay up late to finish a paper or study for an exam,but,despite your best efforts,research shows this is not the way to do business.38 Actually,studies have linked insufficient sleep to decreased levels of productivity,unsatisfactory work performance,and poorer safety outcomes. 39 40 It also seriously improves your mood by releasing something to relieve stress'and increase your brains productivity.Even 30-minute bursts of moderate-to-high physical activity just three to four times a day can go a long way in helping you accomplish your personal and professional goals.

Many kids love sports,but I am not one of them.I prefer to stay at home and read.I don't like running,so in a team,I am a bad player.The coach is tired of me and my teammates sometimes think I'm useless. I have no idea how to play football.Usually,after practice,my teammates would ask me to stay out of the game and I would just nod. Last Thursday,the coach told us that we would be competing with some other team in a month and many people would come to see the game.Our opponents (were the last winner and I froze (呆住)at the thought of the embarrassment(尴尬)I would face if the team lost because of me.So I decided to practice hard for the match and I went to practice every single day. After one month,when the game day came,my teammates were reluctant(不愿意的)to take me in the team,and I also wished to stay away from the ground as well.But as luck would have it, they were short of one player and had no choice but to take me in the team. Our team was named the Big Blues.There was a great cheer on our arrival in the field.I got very nervous.The game started and within two minutes,I got a blue card.By the time I was allowed back,the score was two goals(进球得分)for each team and the next goal would decide the winning team. 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。 When the ball came towards me,I froze.

Text 10) Well,in the first photo,there's a group of children,five boys and six girls,playing football together in the park. They seem to be enjoying themselves,and it seems that they won't mind what the score will be at all.I think they benefit from this activity in several ways.First,they're getting some exercise,which is always good for them because it's great for health and helps to relax.At the same time,they're having fun together.which is important because it builds up their social relationships and their friendships.Also,it is good for boys and girls to do a bit of sports together,because I think playing sports is about having fun with everyone and winning is not the only thing.In the second photo,there are four girls talking together in a cafe and laughing.They aren't so active as the children in the first photo because they're not doing a sport,but they are communicating more and share their ideas and experiences.I think they also benefit because they can talk about their problems,relax and also enjoy their friendships.All in all,I think they get a lot from both activities. 参考答案 1~5 ACACC 6~10 BCBAC 11~15 BABAB 16~20 ABACB 21~25 BACDA 26~30 DACAB 31~35 DDBCC 36~40 FBGAD 41~45 ADCBC 46~50 ADBAC 51~55 BDCAD 56.valuable 57.Actually 58.a 59.congratulations 60.makes 61.Taking 62.surrounded 63.to 64.that 65.to challenge 写作： One possible version: Dear Tom, I am sorry to know you are being troubled by headaches and cannot recover after taking the medicine.Therefore, I am writing to recommend you to have a try on traditional Chinese medicine. Compared with Western medicine,traditional Chinese medicine possesses many advantages.For example,doctors of traditional Chinese medicine tend to offer patients a particular prescription based on their personal conditions to create a more effective treatment.Additionally,traditional Chinese medicine also relieves the patients of their suffering by acupuncture,which has minor side effects on them. As a result,I strongly advise you to try it,hoping that you will be free of the headache and that your health will pick up so that all of us can enjoy your inspiring lessons soon. Best wishes! Yours. Li Hua 读后续写： One possible version: When the ball came towards me,I froze.My teammates were very tired and seemed worried.The opponents rushed towards me.Without thinking anymore,I found courage,and with all my might,I kicked the ball.The opponents didn't think highly of me,so they didn't think that I would be able to kick the ball so powerfully.As I kicked,the goalkeeper jumped towards the ball.As the ball hit the back of the net,I heard a big cheer.The Big Blues won the match! All my teammates ran towards me to lift me in the air.Since that day,I have gained some confidence and started to play better.My coach and teammates are also happy with me and they try to improve my skills every time I play. Now I have realized that I always liked this sport,but my problem with it had something to do with the lack of encouragement I got.Now I can build on my confidence and I've realized I can also play this sport very well. 【高二期中·英语参考答案第2页（共2页）】
