10、nd new alphabet（字 母表）from scratch. It sounds next to unpossible, doesn't it? Yet tliat is exactly what one man did- a man named Sequoyah.Born around 1770 in Tennessee, Sequoyah was a Cherokee （切羅基人）.Like other Native Americans of that time, he could neither read nor write. He couldn't help n

11、oticing, though, how white people wrote to one another on sheets of paper. They often used these "talking leaves” as some Native Americans called them, to communicate.Back then, the Cherokee had no way to write down words in their own language. Sequoyah believed it was important for the Cheroke

12、e to have a system of writing. So, in 1809, he set out to create an alphabet that the Cherokee could use to do just that.Sequoyah started by drawing pictures, with each one representing a different word or idea. He soon realized that writings using pictures would be much too difficult. There were to

13、o many words. No one would ever be able to remember that many pictures.Sequoyah decided to try a different method. He began to develop symbols to stand for the sounds, or syllables（音 15）. that made up words. Twelve years later, he completed a system of writing 86 different symbols. Each one stood fo

14、r a different syllable in the Cherokee language. The symbols could easily be put together to form words. Soon thousands of Cherokee were able to read and write in their own language.Sequoyah's work did not stop there, however. He helped to fbimd a print shop and began publishing a bilingual news

15、paper in both Cherokee and English. The shop also printed books translated from English into Cherokee. In later years. Sequoyah also became a political leader among the Cherokee.Sequoyah died in 1843, but many Cherokee of today still use the alphabet he invented. Thanks to him. the Cherokee now have

16、 a written history that will never be forgotten. In honor of his achievements, Sequoyah s name was given to the giant redwood trees of California and the Sequoia National Park. The name of Sequoyah will never be forgotten either.14. The underlined words "talking leaves in paragraph 2 refer to.A

20、le.C“What do you want to be when you grow up?'、When I was a kid、I feared the question. Adults always seemed terribly disappointed that I wasn't dreamuig of becoming sometlimg grand or heroic, like a filmmaker or an astronaut.Now, as an organizational psychologist, my job is to fix other peop

21、le's jobs, and Fve become convinced that asking youngsters what they want to be does them a disservice.My first beef with the question is that it forces kids to define themselves in terms of work. When you re asked what you want to be when you grow up, it's not socially acceptable to say, &q

22、uot;A father， or, mother, let alone, person of integrity （完整，正 直）;The second problem is the implication that there is one calling out there for everyone. Although having a calling can be a source of joy, research shows that searching for one leaves students feeling lost and confused.The third hurdle

23、: Careers rarely live up to your childhood drcams. In one study, looking for the ideal job left college seniors feeling more anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and depressed throughout the process and less satisfied with the outcome.Asking kids what they want to be leads them to claim a career identity

24、they might never want to earn. Instead, invite them to think about what kind of person they want to be and about all the different things they might want to do.18 . The purpose of the author talking about his/her childliood when bemg asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?" is.1. T

25、o raise reader s interests.8. To prove his or her professional opinions.9. To inform readers that his or her childhood influenced him or her to be a psychologist.10. To offer a case who was influenced by the question and lead to the topic of the passage.19. The underlined word "disservice'、

26、means.A. a harmful action. B. out of service. C. mistakes. D. offense20. Why its not socially acceptable to say, ,A father', or motheror 'A person of integrity” when being asked about =what do you want to be”?A. Because it is meaningless.B. Because it is not to define kids in terms of work.C

27、. Because it is too easy to achieve.D. Because it is a satisfying answer to adults.21. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To report a newly discovered study.B. To persuade people to change their cliche but disservice to kids.C. To prove a theory about children education.D. To advertise a new pro

28、duct.DWhen it comes to making healthy lifestyle changes, which should come first changing your diet or becoming more physically active?Previous studies suggested that providing people with too much information about nutrition and physical activity at once tends to be discouraging. That has led to th

29、e popularity of advising people to make changes gradually, and set smaller goals.So the scientists divided 200 inactive participants who were aged 45 or older into four groups. One group was instructed about making diet and fitness changes at the same time, the second group was taught about diet cha

30、nges first, then fitness changes four months later, the third group changed their exercise habits first and made changes in their eating habits four months later, and the final, control group was not instructed about either diet or fitness changes but about how to manage their stress.The researchers

31、 tracked the groups for a full year. Compared to the control group, the three intervention （干預(yù)）groups made healthy changes in their diet. Those who changed their fitness habits first significantly increased the amount of exercise they received daily compared to the other groups after four months. Ho

32、wever, at the end of the year, the group that changed both diet and exercise at the same time was the only one that met the nationally recommended targets for both exercise and nutrition levels, while those who worked on improving their nutrition first were unable to meet the recommended levels of f

33、itness after a year. The researchers suspect that changes to diet are easier to make than changes to physical activity.The findings show, however, that pairing diet and exercise changes may help to overcome some of the barriers people face in adding more physical activity into their lives. If folks

34、change diet and exercise orderly, the scientists say, they may end up placing more importance on the first set of behavior changes and feel less pressured to address the second set.22. The advice mentioned in the second paragraph seemed .A. popular B. dangerous C. scientificD. unsatisfactory23. Whic

35、h group made progress earlier than other groups in increasing the amount of daily exercise?A. The first group.B. The second group.C. The third group.D. The control group.24. The reason why those improving their nutrition first failed to meet the levels of fitness after a year might be that.A. they m

36、ight be very lazyB. tliey wouldn't like to change their behaviorC. it is much harder to change physical activityD. they might put on weight before changing their physical activity25. Which of the following does the author probably approve of?A. Pairing diet and exercise changes.B. Becoming more

37、physically active first.C. Changing diet and exercise following a fixed order.D. Changing diet first and placing more importance on it.11-13 BCD 1417 CADC 1821 DABB 22-25 DCCA廣東省揭陽巾第三中學(xué)2020-2021學(xué)年高一上學(xué)期期中考英語試題第一節(jié) （共10小題；每小題2.5分，滿分25分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。ACity: HangzhouLaunched: 2008Siz

47、eral different kinds of people who go to hotels. Some want to live, rather than just stay, in a hotel; the hotels which are designed to meet their needs are called residential hotels. However, most people who stay in hotels are either business people or tourists on holiday.In most hotels, there are

48、two kinds of rooms: single rooms, for the use of one person, and double rooms, for the use of two people. In addition, in large hotels, there are also suites（套房）, which include two or more rooms connected togetherperhaps a bed-room and a living room. They are for people who are very rich or very imp

People staying in HotelscMany facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the docto

52、rs. I feci there arc a number of reasons for this.Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fe

53、wer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If ch

54、ildren are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exer

55、cise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above a

56、re the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steer them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits. 23. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because.A. their parents often cook meals for themB. they are to

57、o busy to go out and playC. they can't choose what to eatD. there are too many fast food shops around24. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?A.
