Your daily journey to your place of work is probably a mad dash (for the bus. There is no point in taking your car because there are traffic jams,and anyway the car parks are probably very expensive or,worse still,full.Here is where Powerisers can help.It takes just a couple of minutes to put them on and then you are away,going past others or even jumping over the object which blocks your way. That is the practical use for our product,but then there is sport and exercise. Powerisers are set to be the next extreme sport and the keep-fit tools.You can imagine the 100 meters,the high jump or basketball performed by athletes wearing Powerisers. And what better way to build your muscles and keep fit? Our product is very simple.It is powered by a superlight spring,which uses the gravitational (pull from your body weight and pushes you with superhuman strength.There have been no records of serious injury related to the use of Powerisers, but extreme caution is recommended.We strongly advise the wearing of protective clothing,including at least a helmet(头盔). Powerisers make you feel as if you were walking on the moon.Now we make two different models:Basic and Professional.The Basic model is designed for the occasional users and costs around $500.The Professional model,which is designed for competitive use,has a strongly-made structure and different springs,though that comes at the increased price of $800.Our Powerisers are guaranteed for 2 years and will be replaced without question if they fail during that period.That is how confident we are. 高二英语期中考试 第3页共9页 29.According to the passage,Powerisers can help you A.get on the bus B.jump over blocks C.relax hard muscles D.lift heavy weights 30.A helmet is recommended to users to A.prevent them from being injured B.provide them with superhuman strength C.offer them the feeling of walking on the moon D.bring them good results in competitive situations 31.What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?

B Two-Man Ironman On Sept.17,2022,Jeff and his son,Johnny,set out to begin the first of three legs-of the Ironman competition,where competitors must complete a 140 miles of swimming, bicycling and running in under 17 hours.Not that long ago,Johnny could barely walk a few steps because he was born with cerebral palsy ()But his dream of being a runner never stopped. From the day Johnny was born,Jeff refused to let his son's disability hold him back.Determined to show Johnny that he could pursue his dream of being an athlete, Jeff helped him engage in running.They began waking up at 4 a.m.so Jeff could run while pushing his son in a special wheelchair called a racing chair.Every morning,they drove themselves to run increasingly longer distances.Soon,they were entering 5K races,then on to Ironman competition.Jeff would act as Johnny's arms and legs; carrying the weight of his son throughout the race. The race began with a 2.4-mile swim.Settling Johnny into a kayak,Jeff eased himself into the water.Swimming while dragging another person was very tough.But worst of all,Jeff had to struggle with jellyfish."I occupied my mind by counting the number of times I got stung (),he says. After the two men completed the tough bike section in roughly nine hours,they set their sights on the final leg of the race-a 26.2-mile marathon.They'd been competing for 10.5 hours,leaving another 6.5 hours to make their time.But at Mile 19,Johnny saw the clock ticking down and worried they wouldn't make the cutoff.Despite the tiredness, Jeff was convinced they were going all right and then picked up the pace. With minutes left and 200 feet to the finish line,Jeff stopped to help Johnny out of his racing chair and handed him his rolling walker.After years of painstaking work, Johnny was determined to finish his races on his own.After 16 hours,55 minutes and 35seconds,the father and son crossed the finish line together. As the crowd cheered on an overwhelmed Johnny,a weary Jeff kept a low profle.

D.Tough and humorous 35.What does the passage mainly tell us? A.Actions speak louder than words. B.Fathers are not born;they are made C.The value of a loving father has no price. D.Success comes from failures along the journey C There is a connection I feel with horses that is unlike anything I have ever experienced.They can be frightening because of their size,speed and unpredictability, but they also force you to be calm.I think that was the smartest thing my first riding teacher taught me when I was seven:if you're calm,they will be calm. I have never owned a horse,but for a year I got to take care of a pony,Baronet,that I had found abandoned when I was 11.I had moved to England for the second time in my short life.This period was filled with anxiety and instability and there were a lot of unaccompanied moments. I saw him one day while I was out walking in the woods.He was staring at me from where he stood,wild and dirty.I just went to him and he came to me.I found the farmer who owned him,who said he was a lost cause:"Too difficult,"he said.When I asked if I could care for him,he didn't hesitate:"Sure,take him." He wasn't trained.He was stubborn and picky and angry.He had been labelled "difficult"just as I was labelled "Sunshine Girl".It's not a good thing to be labelled. "Sunshine Girl"made me feel like I couldn't complain.I didn't want to.make anyone unhappy.I always felt I had to go with the flow. Baronet saved me that year.He gave my life a.sense of purpose and meaning.I would wake up early and walk two miles to the barn to feed him and try to train him, and the moment I came home from school I would run back to the barn to spend time with him. Looking back,I see Baronet as a wonder.In some magical way I found Baronet when I needed him most and,as sad as I was to leave him at the end of the year,when we moved yet again,I saw the progress we had made together.Seeing that I could make a difference was a huge awakening for me as a child. 36.How did the writer probably feel when moving to England? A.Worried. B.Surprised. C.Puzzled. D.Excited. 37.What did the farmer probably mean by saying"he was a lost cause"? A.Baronet was always alone. B.Baronet could easily get lost C.Baronet could hardly survive. D.Baronet was hard to deal with. 38.How did Baronet influence the writer? A.It taught her not to complain. B.It inspired her to be easygoing. C.It helped her to get over loneliness. D.It encouraged her to accept her label. D Pacing and Pausing Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve's new wife,but Betty never seemed to have anything to say.While Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation, 高二英语期中考试 第5页共9页 Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk.The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing. Conversation is a turn-taking game.When our habits are similar,there's no problem. But if our habits are different,you may start to talk before I'm finished or fail to take your turn when I'm finished.That's what was happening with Betty and Sara. It may not be coincidental that Betty,who expected relatively longer pauses between turns,is British,and Sara,who expected relatively shorter pauses,is American.Betty often felt interrupted by Sara.But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland.And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel. The general phenomenon,then,is that the small conversation techniques,like pacing and pausing,lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities.These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping(思维定势).And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences.For example,a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel.When the Personnel Department got together for meetings,she kept searching for the right time to break in -and never found it.Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring.When she was evaluated at the end of the year,she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up. That's why slight differences in conversational style -tiny little things like microseconds of pause-can have a great effect on one's life.The result in this cause was a judgment of psychological problems-even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training. 39.What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her? A.Betty was talkative. B.Betty was an interrupter. C.Betty did not take her turn. D.Betty paid no attention to Sara. 40.According to the passage,who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns? A.Americans. B.Israelis.C.The British.D.The Finns. 41.We can learn from the passage that A.communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing B.women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US C.one's inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes D.one should receive training to build up one's confidence 42.The underlined word "assertiveness"in the last paragraph probably means A.being willing to speak one's mind B.being able to increase one's power C.being ready to make one's own judgment D.being quick to express one's ideas confidently 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分；共10分)】 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中 有两项为多余选项。 Online courses are a terrific way for busy people. 43 You might have a full time job with a packed schedule and need to study at irregular times.You might 高二英语期中考试 第6页共9页 want to benefit from the quality of education in another country.In this article you will learn about what it takes to succeed in online courses. 44 Time management is an important skill to develop.First,calculate how much time you will need to study every day.Then,allot (a specific time in your schedule for studying.If you are busy during the day,then separate a few hours at night for studies.If you do not schedule study time,chances are you will not get any.

Unresolved emotions,such as fears of disappointing others or missing out on opportunities,often drive people to over-commit.Even with a well-organized calendar, you may find yourself squeezing in extra tasks,only to feel overwhelmed and rushed, which can lead to anxiety or even depression.The problem is not your time-management skills,but emotional overload. True productivity isn't about doing more in less time;it's about managing your energy,emotions,and well-being over the long term.Research shows that employees who practice emotional regulation experience 20-30%higher productivity than those who rely only on time management. The good news is that emotional management isn't about grand gestures-it grows in small,intentional shifts.Start by pausing before agreeing to new commitments. When someone asks you to take on an additional task,don't immediately agree.Ask for some time to consider it and review your other obligations.Besides,separate your work outcomes from your self-worth.By shifting from a perfectionist mindset to a growth-oriented one,you will focus on learning rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes. To get out of a seemingly cruel cycle,it takes patience and sensibility within yourself.Change is hard,but every step,no matter how small,is a step toward reclaiming your well-being. 高二英语期中考试 第8页共9页 65.What often make people over-commit? 66.What is true productivity about? 67.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
