Lisbon,Portugal As the ieast-expensive city in Wester Europe,according to the EIU rankings,Lisbon has been a hot spot for travelers in recent years.Mercedes Zach recommends exploring the bohemian(波西米亚式的) Bairro Alto neighbourhood to uncover street art,city views and sunset gatherings with locals.The Roman Theatre Museum gives a glimpse into the city's Roman past,with preserved theatre ruins. Toronto,Canada Canadian cities to the north continue to remain lower in the cost of-living rankings.Of all the Canadian cities ranked,Toronto ranks the most affordable.Toronto resident Stephanie Ciccarelli recommends city sightseeing via boat cruise on Lake Ontario,or visiting the Hockey Hall of Fame. Tokyo,Japan Moving three down the index (this year and ranking 60 overall,Tokyo continues to be Japan's most expensive city yet is now more affordable than fellow Asian cities like Singapore and Hong Kong. Tokyo resident Masa Yamamoto encourages tourists to wander around the urban garden and public art displays at the newly developed Azabudai Hils neighbourhood for free.For a new perspective on the city, he recommends the contemporary art Mori Art Museum and its connected Tokyo City View,which offers a view of the city from 250 m above sea level for just 2,000 yen. 21.Which attraction can give you brief insights into the city's history?

C.The rapid rise in global living expenses. D.Cities known for their high cost of living. B In this fast-paced world,quiet moments are often spent staring at a phone screen.For those who have forgotten how to switch off and reconnect with ourselves,Deborah Alma may have just what the doctor ordered.She is the founder of The Poetry Pharmacy,whose aim is to ease worry with words, allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for tailored advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves. Last year,another Poetry Pharmacy opened its doors inside LUSH on London's Oxford Street,seeking to bring a little calm to the capital. Even before she had two successful "practices"under her belt,Deborah was keenly aware of the power of poetry.She noticed how it could bring people a positive change.This inspired her to become the"Emergency Poet"traveling the country in a vintage ambulance to offer poetry prescriptions(). The 1950s ambulance,which was bought on eBay,carried 200 poems,each with advice like "take this poem with a cup of tea"or "listen to some birdsong". After about a decade of mobile medicine,Deborah parked up her practice for a permanent location in Shropshire.This became the world's first walk-in-poetry pharmacy,and-unlike the ambulance-it had central heating.From a cozy coffee comer to an inspiring physic garden,the Pharmacy is described as"a peaceful place to rest and dream"."What happens in the shops is that people who look at pills are often buying things for others.It's potentially a little theatre,but that act of giving and thinking about someone else is heartwarming."The Pharmacy also provides a more personalized service."We ask about people's reading habits,how they relax,rather than their probiems.It should be a pieasure to answer these questions,"Deborah says. Despite never having done any online marketing,The Poetry Pharmacy has a dedicated following of creative souls,including Mark Constantine,CEO and co-founder of LUSH.We don't know what the future holds for The Poetry Pharmacy and its founder,but one thing is certain-the next chapter is bound to be a good one! 24.How many poetry pharmacies has Deborah opened? A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four. 25.What can possibly happen in The Poetry Pharmacy? A.Poetic healing. B.Helping phone addicts. 高二英语期中考试第4项共12页 C.Enjoying theatre performances D.Discussing poetry writing. 26.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.The shop needs some marketing. B.The shop has gained acceptance. C.Deborah will open a new shop soon. D.Deborah has found some co-founders. 27.Which of the following best describes Deborah? A.Creative but inconsistent. B.Conventional but warm. C.Innovative and compassionate. D.Sociable and adventurous. C Have you ever noticed how the email icon on many computers and smartphones is of an envelope?Or how camera phones make the sound of a real camera clicking when you take a photo, even though there's no shutter to open or close?These are examples of skeuomorphs,which is when new things take on the appearance or sound of the object they've replaced. Why would new things want to look like something old?It's all to do with human psychology. Psychologist James Gibson says one of the ways people understand the world is through affordances-objects whose shape tells you how to.use them.When creating new digital technologies,inventors like Steve Jobs of Apple used skeuomorphs so people would know how to use their products.By showing people an image of something they already knew how to use,it made using a computer or smartphone easier. However,as people became more familiar with modern technology,some designers argued that skeuomorphs were no longer necessary.Indeed,the younger generation don't need visual references to older items they've never used.This led to something called flat design,where computer desktops and smartphone home screens started to do away with skeuomorphism. Skeuomorphs made a comeback,though,with smart watches.Many smart watches took on the appearance of an old fashioned watch,with a clock face.This was to encourage people who didn't like digital watches to consider buying a smart watch. While these are the ways skeuomorphs are used today,that doesn't mean it's only a modern phenomenon.In fact,the word was first used in 1899 by the archaeologist Henry Colley March, who realized that some.ancient artefacts(人工制品)kept the appearance of older objects,even though there was no practical reason for them to do so.When ancient Greek builders moved from using wood to stone,they recreated some of the characteristics of wooden buildings.From ancient 高二英语期中考试第5页共12页 Greek architecture to 21st century technology,skeuomorphs have been a key feature of scientific progress.So,when you wonder about the objects of the future,take a look around.Chances are that they will look a lot like the objects of the past. 28.Which of the following is an example of skeuomorphs? Booking D. .Facebook Starbucks Flashligh址 Booking 29.How would people feel about skeuomorphs? A.User-friendly. B.Safety-centered. C.Energy-saving. D.Cost-effective. 30.Why did some designers think skeuomorphs unnecessary? A.Users became accustomed to technology. B.These products were expensive to design. C.Young people rejected traditional designs. D.The existing standards had been updated. 31.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.The prediction about future objects. B.The key feature of scientific progress. C.The design philosophies of skeuomorphism. D.The ever-lasting presence of skeuomorphs. D A wheeled robot rolls across the floor.A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs,moving awkwardly.Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery,these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable,but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity(实体)：a king oyster mushroom. By growing the mushroom's mycelium (into the robot's hardware,a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light. 高二英语期中考试第6页共12页 The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics who seek to combine biological,living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with artificial components to make partly living and partly engineered entities. There's still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab,but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans,sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake. "Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand,and control to help our artificial systems work better,"said Shepherd,a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University. The team began by growing king oyster mushrooms in the lab from a simple kit ordered online The researchers chose this species of mushroom because it grows easily and quickly.They cultivated the mushroom's mycelium,which can form networks that,according to the study,can sense,communicate and transport nutrients. The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot."You have to make sure that your electrode (touches in the right spot because the mycelia are very thin,"said lead author Anand Mishra."Then you culture them,and when the mycelia start growing,they wrap around the electrode." 32.What is special about the two robots in the first paragraph? A.They can control living creatures. B.They can make various movements. C.They are powered by king oyster mushrooms D.They are partly mushroom and partly machine. 33.What does the author want to show by giving the examples in paragraph 4? A.The future possibilities of biohybrid robots. B.The seriousness of the environmental issues. C.The limitations of biohybrid robots beyond the lab D.The advantages of biohybrid robots over conventional ones. 34.What did the team find difficult when engineering the robots? A.Wrapping the electrode with the mycelia. B.Arranging the electrode in the right order. C.Developing a system to cultivate the mycelia. D.Positioning the electrode accurately on the mycelia 35.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? 高二英语期中考试第7页共12页 A.When Nature Meets Technology B.How Technology Transforms Nature C.King Oyster Mushrooms:the Magic of Nature D.Biohybrid Robotics:the Key to Social Development 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。 Many adults are proud to share their fascinations with what others would label as kids'toys.Mini Brands mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults._ 36 For others,Legos are on their wishlist encouraged by the brand's growing number of grown-up sets. 37 Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal,said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger."When something reminds us of a positive memory,we are likely to engage with it because the association recalls those memories." 38 Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia--from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGuire clog to Lululemon's Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults.Barbie isn't just for kids clothes now either,thanks to the recent film and "Barbie-core"fashion trend. In addition to the trendy appeal,all these revivals can also touch on a feeling of connection during a time of increased division.But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on if you can translate the excitement into real,in-person connection.39 But having or wearing the same thing is not the actual steps of forming shared identity,"Ellberger said."And I feel like that's some of what gets lost,and it isn't impossible." Ellberger has a great idea for this."You are into a certain trond,like toys.There's a good chancc you'll find others who are into the same trend.40 If it was part of everyone's secret Santa or white elephant--that's a really cute way of connecting over this,"she said. A.The craze goes beyond toys. B.So,what's with the fascination? C.It's a great way to form community. D.Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts E.Social media fuels the trend by creating shared experiences F.Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults'homes. G.Childhood favorites have instead become relevant to adults again. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 高二英语期中考试第8页共12页 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 If there's one crucial lesson that Tara Snyder,a seasoned mail carrier for the U.S.Postal Service, reveals to every new 41,it's this:"Even if a dog seems friendly for 364 days of the year,they can still have a bad day and bite."

My brother and I shared a typical brotherly relationship:we couldn't stand each other.Or,to be honest,he couldn't stand me.I looked up to him like a hero.My clothes strangely looked like his,and even my words copied those I heard from him.Many times,I even wanted to follow him everywhere, crying every time I was stopped from being around him.Needless to say,I was trouble to him.Any conversation we had usually ended up fighting,and try as I might,my brother usually won. 高二英语期中考试第11页共12页 After a while,I stopped trying to impress him and learned to not care.Maybe silence would make him like me more.I was wrong.We soon fell into a sad pattern-I avoided him,he ignored me,and deep inside,it hurt.Cold or unfriendly,he was only a brother in name.So that's how it was between us.I believed we would always be distant,two housemates without words,two strangers without warmth.And nothing more. I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike.I got it that Christmas,which was great until'I realized I didn't know how to ride.My mom was too busy and had stopped trying to teach me long ago.I decided to teach myself,practicing a little each day,but failed.On that important day,nothing changed.I was finishing my daily one-hour struggle,so upset that I threw my bike aside and started to cry. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside.

An hour later,I was showing off my riding skill to my mom.She was amazed to see me riding steadily around the yard.While sharing my learning experience with her in excitement,I noticed my brother standing at a distance smiling at me.I cast him a grateful look as he nodded and walked back to the house..(交代两人关系，由不好逐渐变好)From that day on,.the sad pattern between us began to change.There were occasional conversations between us,filled with less embarrassment but increasing concern.(感悟：结尾升华)I could feel a different kind of brotherly relationship slowly developing between us,which continued to grow stronger as time went by.And I would always treasure that day as my favourite memory,the moment when I felt I had the world in the palm of my hand..-->照应开头段的关键性话语（伏笔） 听力录音稿 Text1改造外卖袋 M:Joyce,are you throwing away your takeout bag?Can you give it to me?It looks lovely.
