A
Getting around Venice by travelling along its waterways is a delight for all visitors. Apart from
offering unforgettable views of the architecture, the city's transport options are convenient, efficient, and
also relatively inexpensive.
PASSES
Instead of paying EUR 7 per ride, a better option is to purchase one of ACTV's passes, which offer
unlimited travel for 1 day (EUR 20) , 2 days (EUR 30) , 3 days (EUR 40) or 1 week (EUR 60). For children
and young people between the ages of 6 and 29, ACTV offers a special “Rolling Venice" 3-day pass (EUR
29).
BY GONDOLA
Considered by many as the most symbolic feature of Venice, today gondolas circulate most often on
canals in the center of the city, carrying tourists on rides at fixed rates, which tend to be rather high. A 40-minute ride costs around EUR 100, but may be shared by as many as six passengers.
BY WATER TAXI
Getting around by water taxi in Venice is most costly, but can be a convenient option when you are in
a hurry or need to carry a lot of luggage. The initial charge is EUR 15, then EUR 2 per minute. If you have
more than one bag per passenger, there is a charge of EUR 3 for each additional piece.
BY RENTAL BOAT
It is possible to rent a boat to travel around Venice's canals. A boating permit is not required, but you
will need to pass a basic turning and docking test before being allowed to rent a boat. Rates start at EUR 30
per hour.
Note： There are only four fueling stations for boats in Venice. Make sure you note their locations
before heading out.
1. What is said about the ACTV's pass?
A. It provides the tourists with five choices B. It is very suitable for kids and the young.
C. It should be ordered ahead of time online. D. It is a certificate given to the foreign tourists.
2. Why does the author recommend gondola?
A. Because it is the most economical means.
B. Because tourists can enjoy the city for longer.
C. Because tourists will be clear about the cost.
D. Because it represents the city of Venice.
3. Which of the following may cost you most?
A. PASSES. B. BY GONDOLA. C. BY WATER TAXI. D. BY RENTAL BOAT.
B
On a Saturday afternoon, Tasi Lama had just finished lunch and was going to wash his hands when
the ground under his feet started shaking violently. Objects began to fall down from overhead and rising
above the crashes, he could hear terrified screams all around him. Several months later, the painter from
Nepal's Kathmandu Valley remembers that day more vividly than his wedding day or the birth of his son.
It was on April 25, 2015 that an earthquake hit Nepal, the former Himalayan kingdom out of sight
between its giant neighbors China and India, 81 years after a similar disaster. This killer quake and after-
shocks that continued for more than a month afterward killed over 8,000 people, destroyed thousands of
houses, and ruined an economy already damaged by many other reasons.It was also of consequence for the ancient art style Nepali painters such as Lama have been practicing
for generations. “We left our homes and lived in the open fields outside the city, under tarpaulins （防水油
布 ） for a month," Lama said. Many of the houses, built of mud and bricks, were in ruins and the
aftershocks continued, though less frequently. One day, I went to my showroom to get some of the
paintings out and the Earth started shaking again. I dropped everything and ran out for my life. ”
Dinesh Lama, a 32-year-old artist from Nepal's capital city, Kathmandu, said his Boudha Stupa
Thangka Center, which functions as his showroom as well as his studio, has remained shut since the
earthquake, as his artisans are too traumatized（心理受到创伤的） to take up the brush again. “We lived
in temporary tents for more than a month," he said. “When they try to sit inside the studio and paint, fear
makes their hands shake. Luckily, we have got a lot of aid from China. I believe we will come back to our
home soon. ”
4. What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
A. The April 25 earthquake made Nepal disappear for long.
B. Nepal also suffered a serious disaster due to the 1934 quake.
C. This quake caused more deaths than the one 81 years ago.
D. The earthquake is the only reason for Nepal being backward.
5. What can we know according to Tasi Lama's words?
A. Many Nepali painters lost their lives in the quake.
B. Only the houses built of mud and bricks broke down.
C. His showroom fell into ruins after the quake.
D. He had no choice but to stop working for long.
6. What made Dinesh Lama worried most?
A. That his showroom had been totally destroyed.
B.That his artisans were incapable of working.
C. That he couldn't sell his works as usual.
D.That he would never pick up his brush to draw.
7. Which of the following is the proper title for the text?
A. Earthquake Brings Damage to Ancient Art
B. Earthquake Causes Many Artists Out of Job
C. China Gives a Timely Hand to NepalD. Nepal Suffers from Two Nonstop Quakes
C

United States health officials say an estimated 80,000 people died of influenza （流感）and problems
resulting from the flu last winter, making it the worst season since 1977. The director for the U. S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention （CDC） reported the number to The Associated Press. Health experts
were expecting the winter of 2017—2018 to be a bad year for flu deaths, but not that.
Doctor William Schaffner is an expert on vaccines, at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee. Schaffner
noted that 80,000 deaths are nearly twice as much as what health officials once considered a "bad year"
CDC officials say that between 12,000 and 56,000 Americans die every year from flu-related causes,
but they do not have an exact count of how many people die from the flu each year. Influenza is a relatively
common disease and not always listed on death records as the official cause of death. While last winter was
a bad flu season in the U. S., it was not the worst. The 1918 flu lasted nearly two years. Historians estimate
that the disease was to blame for between 500,000 to 700,000 deaths during that period. The exact number
is still not known.
One thing that made the 2017——2018 flu season so bad was that the flu virus was strong. Usually
the disease kills the very young, the very old or those who are already sick. However, last winter, the flu
killed many healthy Americans. Another thing that made the flu season so deadly was that the flu vaccine
was not as effective as experts had predicted. Drug makers have made changes to the vaccine. Even though
the vaccine did not work well last year, health experts still strongly suggest getting vaccinated.
12. What can we learn about influenza in the first paragraph?
A.The winter of 2017—2018 saw the deadliest flu in history.
B.Effective cures should be found to deal with influenza.C.Health experts had assumed flu would be severer.
D.More people died of influenza than expected in the winter of 2017—2018.
13. How many deaths did the health officials expect in a bad year?
A.80,000. B.40,000.
C.60,000. D. 20,000.
14. Why can't CDC officials give an exact number of deaths from flu?
A. Because flu is always considered as a common disease.
B. Because people usually don't take flu seriously.
C. Because CDC officials are unwilling to count the deaths.
D. Because flu is not always listed on death records.
15. What do experts recommend people to do in the last paragraph?
A. Change the vaccine. B. Avoid using vaccine.
C. Get vaccinated. D. Do research on vaccine.

Eating a diet rich in high-quality protein (蛋白质)may help you maintain a healthy weight by 41
(make) you feel full longer, and fueling you with extra energy for exercising.
High-protein 42 (diet) aren’t balanced in terms of the essential nutrients, vitamins, and fiber your
body needs. However, a diet that is too high in animal protein can 43 (actual) lead to weight gain over
time. A study found that those who ate more red and processed meat put on 44 (much) weight, about
one extra pound every four years, while those who ate more nuts over the course of the study 45 (gain)
only half as much weight.
Some people are able to lose weight on high-protein diets in the short-term but this weight loss is not due to eating more animal protein, 46 simply due to consuming fewer calories. A safer way 47
（lose）weight is to reduce sugar intake and calories, while maintaining a nutritionally balanced diet 48
is rich in plant-based proteins.
For most of us, consuming the right balance of whole foods each day will provide us 49 all the
nutrients we need. There is also no 50 （evident） that protein from a powder or bar can improve athletic
performance any more than protein from food.

“I think I’m nothing more than a dead fish.”“I don’t want to do anything.”“I’m so beat and so sad.”...The young generation in our country used to enjoy their “happy culture” but now they have become
“beat and sad” slowly and secretly. Some people even called it “the beat culture”. The “beat” youths don’t
want to do anything. They have no purpose, no desire and they are totally depressed and they only want to
live an aimless life. The “Ge You slouch(葛优瘫)” and the song “I feel like having been drained” are the
examples.
Many media concern themselves about this phenomenon and try to persuade the youths into
embracing positive and healthy feelings and encourage them to work hard to get rid of decadence. This is
really a kind gesture. However, we don’t have to worry too much about this “beat culture.” In fact, it’s not
a negative thing. “Beat” never means despair, but a way of self-mockery(自嘲) and pressure relief.
In general, the youths in China are not “beat”. According to a recent international research, the youths
in China hold positive attitude towards the future. 29% of the Chinese interviewees believe they will live
and work in peace in China because “as long as you work hard, you can have your own day”. Around 93%
of the Chinese interviewees believe the future is promising because of medicine industry, renewable energy
sources and computer. Compared with Chinese youngsters, youths in developed countries are more
pessimistic.
Of course there are some social reasons for the appearing of “the Beat Culture”. As urbanization
develops rapidly, youths living in big cities are facing new challenges that their forefathers have never
encountered before. Loneliness and feelings of insignificance and powerlessness are easy to get a hold of
the young people. Without proper care, they could threaten the youths’ mentality and cause many social
problems. These problems probably need our attention more.2019～2020 学年度高二年级第二学期开学收心检测
