Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes, Dr Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid.” Maybe I could go as Superman,” he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated（犹豫） for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装)，finally she agreed.The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could, Just as Dr. Epstein puts it ,”If you can dream it, you can do it”It doesnt mean that you should dress as a superhero for you next job interview. But, next time you are texted in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it .Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.36. What do we know about Tom?A. He was Dr. Epsteins patient B. He was a dishonest boy.C. He was crazy about magic D. He was seriously ill37.

What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell us an interesting story. B. To encourage us to use our imagination.C. To advise us to care about children. D. To help us make right decisions.BTail SpinTwo dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin, Grace, shows off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her, however, is that shes even swimming at all. She doesnt have a tail.Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2020, she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it?” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it - but her tail didnt. She ended up losing her flukes(尾片) and the lower part of her peduncle(腹柄).Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another way-like a fish! She pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncles from side to side.The movement put harmful pressure on Graces backbone. So a company offered to create a man-made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldnt hurt her.The first time Grace wore the artificial tail. She soon shook it off and let it sink in the bottom of the pool. Now, she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “The new tail isnt necessary for her to feel comfortable,”says Stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion(动作幅度) and build muscles(肌肉).”Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale, a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage(勇气).40. When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her_.A. chance of survival B. potential abilityC. physical build D. adaptation to the surroundings.41. A man-made tail is created for Grace to _.A. let her recover faster B. make her comfortableC. help her perform better tricks D. adjust her way of swimming42. The story of Grace inspires people to_.A. stick to their dreams B. face difficulties bravely C. treasure what they have D. treat animals friendlyCEating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.43. The text mainly discusses the relationship between _.A. heart problems and smoking B. heart problems and exercisingC. heart problems and air quality D. heart problems and fatty food44. The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means_.A. relatively high B. relatively low C. extremely low D. extremely high45. What can we learn from the text?A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart. B. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.C. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made. D. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,第二节（共5小题；毎小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下面A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。A. Speak slowly and pause.B. Close with a Q & A.C. Drop unnecessary wordsD. Be well-organized.E. Bring it to a specific endF. Dont be contradictory.Speaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome taskespecially when the speaker is confusing. Dont want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:46._When it comes to understanding new information, the human brain needs a little time. First, we hear the words; then, we compare the new information to what we already know. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us. Slow it47._Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When you the audience confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.48._Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus (责任）on your listeners to make up for your lack of organization. And its confusing for them to listen, reorganize, and figure out what youre saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily. You can arrange things from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottom or by some other order. Just be sure to organize.49._Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they cant pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes. Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.50._Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions, but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions, and close your speech with a specific signaleven if its something simple like, “If you have any more questions, you know where to reach me.”Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks for your time.”上装订线下装订线 学 校 校 班级 级 学号 号 姓 名 名 高二英语期中考试答题卡01 A B C D 06 A B C D 11 A B C D 16 A B C D02 A B C D 07 A B C D 12 A B C D 17 A B C D03 A B C D 08 A B C D 13 A B C D 18 A B C D04 A B C D 09 A B C D 14 A B C D 19 A B C D05 A B C D 10 A B C D 15 A B C D 20 A B C D21 A B C D 26 A B C D 31 A B C D 36 A B C D22 A B C D 27 A B C D 32 A B C D 37 A B C D23 A B C D 28 A B C D 33 A B C D 38 A B C D24 A B C D 29 A B C D 34 A B C D 39 A B C D25 A B C D 30 A B C D 35 A B C D 40 A B C D41 A B C D 46 A B C D E F42 A B C D 47 A B C D E F43 A B C D 48 A B C D E F44 A B C D 49 A B C D E F45 A B C D 50 A B C D E F第三部分：写作(共三节，满分35分)第一节 单词拼写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词,写出对应单词的完整形式，每空只写一词。1.
