河北省承德一中2019-2020学年高二英语3月疫情期间直播课堂检测试题（考试时间： 120分钟 满分：150分 ）第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分55分)第一节(共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AThe International Day of Disabled Persons, an international observance declared by the United Nations since 1992, is observed on December 3, aiming to promote an understanding of disability issues and get support for the rights of people with disabilities. The day takes place annually and focuses on a different issue each year. In South Africa, December 3 also marks the beginning of the Disability Awareness Month.Since the first celebration, people with disabilities have gained recognition of their rights by states across the globe and of their rightful place in society. But there is still much work ahead of us to turn those legal rights into a true revolution, in which diversity is fully accepted and lived.The estimated one billion people living with disabilities worldwide face many obstructions of inclusion in many key aspects of society. As a result, people with disabilities cant enjoy the equal rights as normal people, which include employment, education as well as social and political participation. The right to participate in public life is essential to create stable democracies , active citizenship and reduce inequalities in society.In many cases, people with disabilities must be able to fulfill their role in society. It is important to focus on the ability and not on the disability of an individual. It is important to note that disability is part of the human condition, and that all of us either are or will become disabled to one degree or another during the course of our lives.By promoting empowerment , real opportunities for disabled people are created. This supports them in setting their own priorities. Empowerment involves investing in them in jobs, health, nutrition, education, and social protection. When disabled people are empowered, they are better prepared to take advantage of opportunities, and they can more readily accept their civic responsibilities.1What is the International Day of Disabled Persons meant for?ATo raise money for the disabled.BTo stress the value of the disabled.CTo make an international celebration.DTo make ablebodied people care about the disabled.2What does the underlined word “obstructions” in Paragraph 3 mean?AChances.BTypes.C Barriers DRegrets.3What is the main problem for disabled people?AThe number of them is too large.BThey cant be fully accepted by society.CFew of them seek legal rights.DThey think poorly of their role in society.BA team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new hightech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the goahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own，” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything its connected to，” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, offboard power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a builtin power source, so that it might someday perform datagathering work at rescue sites，in farmers fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around，” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insectscale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead，” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a daytoday basis.”4The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that _.Athey had no model in their mindBthey did not have sufficient timeCthey had no readymade componentsDthey could not assemble the components5It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly _.Acan just fly in limited areas at the present timeBconsists of a flight device and a control systemCcan collect information from many sourcesDhas been put into wide application6Which of the following can be learned from the passage?AThe robotic fly is designed to learn about insects.BAnimals are not allowed in biological experiments.CThere used to be few ways to study how insects fly.DWoods design can replace animals in some experiments.CRobert Ballard was born in 1942. From an early age, he loved the sea. Baliard grew up in Southern California. He spent his free time at the beach near his home. He enjoyed fishing and swimming. He even learned to dive.When Ballard wasnt at the ocean, he loved reading about it. At age 10, he read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a book which describes the undersea adventures of Captain Nemo. Ballard decided he wanted to be like Captain Nemo when he grew up. His parents helped him follow his dream.Ballard was a hardworking student. He spent many years learning all he could about the ocean. By the age of 28, he was an expert. In 1970, he took a job as a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts. There he studied underwater mountains of the Atlantic Ocean. He came up with ways to predict volcanoes under the oceans. Working with other scientists, Ballard also found previously unknown sea animals. These animals lived far below the oceans surface, where scientists had believed no animals could live.By the 1980s, Ballards interests changed. He developed unmanned vehicles to explore the ocean bottom. His first find, the wellknown ship Titanic, made Ballard famous. He was not happy with just one big find, however. He looked forand foundother wellknown ships. One was the German battleship Bismarck. Another was the US.S. Yorktown, an aircraft carrier that sank during World War .Today Robert Ballard is still an underwater explorer. He also heads an organization that encourages students to learn about science. Ballard hopes that some of the students will follow in his footsteps. After all, the worlds huge oceans are mostly unknown. Who knows what remains to be discovered under the sea?7When Ballard worked at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, he _.Aexplored the undersea world by shipBthought of ideas to predict underwater volcanoesCfound some unknown sea animals aloneDset up an organization to teach students science8Which is the correct order of the events mentioned in the text about Ballard?aHe found the German battleship Bismarck.bHe read a book about Captain Nemo.cHe found the famous ship Titanic.dHe became an expert in science.AbcdaBdbcaCdcabDbdca9What can we learn from the text?ABallard was greatly influenced by 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.BBallard didnt like fishing and swimming in his childhood.CBallards parents felt disappointed at his undersea adventures.DHuman beings have explored more than half of the sea.DNeed a Job This Summer?The provincial government and its partners offer many programs to help students find summer jobs.

People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Twothirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”， and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom each other. The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets to people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.13The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “without _”Aa messageB delayCintroductionDa problem14Some cats and dogs may fight when _.Athey are cold to each otherBthey look away from each otherCthey misunderstood each others signalsDthey are introduced at an early age15What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?AWe should learn to live in harmony.BWe should know more about animals.CWe should live in peace with animals.DWe should learn more body languages.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的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。You know the drill when it comes to losing weight: take in fewer calories and burn more calories. _16_ If youre trying to drop a few pounds fast, these interesting tips will make it easy for you to lose the weight quickly.Eat in front of mirrors and youll lose weight.One study finds that eating in front of mirrors reduces the amount people eat by nearly onethird.
