哈尔滨市第六中学2020届6月份阶段性测试 高二英语试题第一卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30 分）ACrossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people dont even notice that theyre doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You wont feel any immediate effects, but if you sit for long periods of time its important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for. You shouldnt have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes, and its important that you get up and walk around at least once every hour.Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, its best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but its not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office.You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get tingly(刺痛的) or have the feeling of being asleep. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.1. Crossing legs affect your blood pressure because_.A.it causes your body to push the blood back to the heart.B.you can not feel any immediate effects.C.it is harder for the blood to circulate.D.you dont have enough time to walk around.2. To solve the problems caused by crossing legs, youd better_.A.sit with your feet planted flat on the floor for hours.B.keep your sitting posture and stability permanently.C.try to be aware of whether you are comfortable or not.D.pay attention to how long you have your legs crossed for.3.Which word can not describe the feeling when you cross your legs for a long time?A.tired B.nervous C.numb D.painfulBIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example.Taxis in Finland are mostly highclass Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer.You can go anywhere in one，tell the driver to drop you at any place，say that you have some business to attend to，and then walk off without paying your fare.The driver would not show the least signs of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests，but also serve outside diners.Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals.The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration cards to the waiter.With such a loose check，you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour.They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss at the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty_advantages”But the strange thing is that all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fares after they have attended to their business and that not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms.And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in.As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do，living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”4The underlined words in Paragraph 5 means to “_”A. be ready to help othersBmake good use of ones friendsCbe a little ahead of othersDgain something at others expense5Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AWhile taking a taxi in Finland，you can get off without first paying your fare.BIn a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if youre living in the hotel.CThe bosses in Finland pay the employees according to the registration of their working hours.D. The workers are always honest with their working hours.6We can learn from the passage that _.Athe Finnish society is of very high moral(道德的)levelBthere are many loopholes in everyday life in FinlandCin Finland，most taxi drivers will not charge you anythingDeveryone in Finland is like a gentleman，for they have faith in themselves7Which of the following is the best title of the passage?ALife in FinlandBA Society with “Foolish” PeopleCWhat a LifeDHonest accounts of the FinnsCFinding fruits and vegetables at your typical grocery store that have been grown without the extensive use of pesticides can be difficult. Fortunately, The Environmental Working Group(EWG) has done all of the work for you in finding healthy and pesticidefree produce.EWG has created the 2020 Shoppers Guide to Pesticides in Produce, which helps shoppers to find uncontaminated produce. Many consumers do not realize that pesticide residues(残留) are very common on conventionally grown produce products, even after they have been washed or peeled. Because of this, EWG has created their series of guides to lead consumers to safer food choices.In order to create these guides, EWG analyzed the USDA pesticides tests, which found a total of 230 different pesticides and pesticides breakdown products on thousands of produce samples. Analyzing this information, EWG observed the big differences of the amount of pesticides found from product to product.The guides two main components are two compiled lists highlighting the cleanest and dirtiest produce concerning pesticides. These two lists, Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen, show consumers how certain foods continue to carry trace amounts of pesticides with them all the way to the grocery store shelves, while others make it to your kitchen virtually pesticidefree.Some of the highlights from their analyses included the following findings：More than onethird of strawberry samples analyzed in 2020 contained 10 or more pesticide residues and breakdown products.Spinach(菠菜) samples had, on average, almost twice as much pesticide residue by weight compared to any other crop.No single fruit sample from the Clean Fifteen tested positive for more than four pesticides.“With EWGs guide, consumers can fill their fridges and fruit bowls with plenty of healthy conventional and organic produce that isnt contaminated with multiple pesticide residue，” said Sonya Lunder, a senior analyst in EWG.Only 25 years ago, the National Academy of Sciences raised concerns about exposure to poisonous pesticides in our food, yet consumers still consume a mixture of pesticides every day in America.8. Why did EWG create the 2020 Shoppers Guide to Pesticides in Produce?A. To analyze the USDA pesticides tests.B. To advertise organic produce.C. To warn some food companies.D. To help consumers make safer choices.9. What is the result from the analysis of the USDA pesticides tests?A. All the samples are polluted.B. 230 pesticides are banned.C. Pesticide amounts vary in products.D. All strawberries are poisonous.10. Where are shoppers most likely to find spinach?A. Dirty Dozen list. B. Organic food advertisement.C. Clean Fifteen list. D. Safer food list.11.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. All conventional produce is safe.B. No pesticides were used on crops 25 years ago.C. Consumers never worry about pesticides.D. Produce safety remains a problem.DAfter photographer Monni Musts daughter Miya died, the sad mother adopted her black dog, Billy Bean. As Billy became increasingly weak, the thought of its dying was just more than Must could handle. So she decided to clone the dog. “I feared everyone was going to forget Miya,” she said, “and my other daughters thought I had completely lost my mind.”Billys cells were shipped to ViaGen Pets, a Texas company that provides the cloning service. With more than $50,000, Must picked up a new puppy. “The dog has a real soul and is everything my daughter wasfun, social and kind,” she said. “I feel that I still have that touchable connection and not just a spiritual connection.”Cloning animals is hardly new. But the recent news that singer Barbra Streisand had cloned her dog grabbed international headlines. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals(PETA) president Ingrid Newkirk issued a statement saying she would love to talk her out of cloning, noting that millions of wonderful dogs are getting old in animal shelters every year or dying in terrifying ways when abandoned.Normally, a doctor takes a tissue biopsy(组织活检), a piece of skin and muscle about the size of a pencil eraser, from the dog. The next step is to take an egg cell from a donor dog, remove the eggs nucleus, and insert DNA from the pet to be cloned. When an embryo(胚胎)develops, it is transplanted in the body of a mother dog.In the basic cloning procedure, scientists take an entire adult cell and put it into an egg thats been relieved of its own DNA. The resulting embryo is a clone. However, in many animals, only one in 100 cloned embryos ever leads to a live birth. Some embryos die in the IVF dish or in the mothers bodies. Of those that are born, a few suffer from abnormalities and quickly die. Besides, pet cloning doesnt mean copying everything of your beloved pets.12. Why did Must decide to clone Billy Bean?A. She felt alone without its company.B. Her work experience inspired her to do so.C. She wanted to keep her daughters memory.D. Her family encouraged her to get a new dog.13. Whats Newkriks attitude towards pet cloning?A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Uncertain.14. What does Paragraph4 mainly talk about?A. How dog cloning works.B. The achievements in dog cloning.C. The disadvantages of pet cloning.D. How to support animal protection.15. The last paragraph implies that animal cloning_.A. is widely accepted now. B. has a very high failure rate.C. gives pet owners false information. D.has made a breakthrough in recent years.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。Traditional Chinese CultureChinese culture is over 5,000 years old._16_The spirit of the tea ceremonyXihu Longjing (West Lake Dragon Well) and Yunnan Puer have long been world famous._17_ The spirit of the Chinese tea ceremony captures the Chinese attitude towards life and spirituality.These are the things that people all over the world can benefit from.A handful of good tea leaves with some boiling water and a set of lovely tea ware are the perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon and gain some insights into the wisdom of that ancient civilization.18During the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization，many different flavors, styles, and cuisines (烹饪) have developed，based on traditional philosophy and culture.This ancient food culture has had a direct impact on the countries such as Japan，Mongolia，South Korea，Thailand，and Singapore.It has benefited billions of people around the world through innovations such as Chinese vegetarian culture，tea culture，vinegar，pasta，medicinal diets，ceramic tableware，and the use of soybeans in the diet.ConfucianismConfucianism emphasizes peacefulness and harmony between heaven and humanity through pursuing the “Tao”，which is the harmonization between nature and mankind.It advocates harmony and moderation，including the harmony between individuals，as well as the harmony between a man and his inner self.Confucianism has flourished during the last 2,500 years of Chinas 5,000year history._19_ This school of thought has had the most profound and long lasting influence in Chinas history.Seventyfour Nobel Prize winners and many other highly respected scholars have stated that for the benefit of mankinds livelihood and development into the next century，these teachings should be promoted and adopted worldwide. 20AChinese cuisineBTraditional Chinese cultureCIt has been the mainstay of that ancient civilization.DThey are pretty popular due to their superior color and flavor.EThe following three items of traditional Chinese culture have had a worldwide impact.FThis wonderfully rich food culture has also had an impact on Europe，America and Oceania.G This would provide long lasting benefits for man，helping to ensure a peaceful and happy life.第2部分 完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）One afternoon, I went to pick up my mother from work. 21 , I looked outside the car window, there was a small park 22 I saw a little boy running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy would then fall to the grass, 23 , and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, 24 nothing happened.When they fall down, kids dont 25 their falling down as a failure, but 26 , they treat it as a learning experience, 27 just another result of outcome. They try and try again 28 they succeed. They havent associated “falling down” with the word “ 29 ” yet, thus they dont know how to feel the state which accompanies failure. So they dont 30 . Plus, they probably think to themselves that its perfectly okay to fall down, and that its not 31 to do so. In other words, they give themselves 32 to make mistakes, subconsciously.While I was 33 by the boys persistence, I was equally touched by the 34 in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident so natural. His only aim was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a childjust being himselfbeing completely in the moment. He was not looking for approval or was not worrying about 35 someone was watching. He wasnt 36 about being judged. He didnt seem to be bothered by 37 that maybe someone would see him fall. No, what 38 to him was to accomplish the task or activity 39 to the best of his ability.I learned a lot from that 40 and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my life.21.
