2020-2021 学年高二英语上学期期中测试卷 02(译林牛津版)
第 I 卷(选择题)
第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分 30 分)
第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 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。
A
We often seek food after focused mental activity, like preparing for an exam. Researchers guess that
too much thinking consumes a lot of energy from the brain. So the brain, sensing that it may soon require
more calories to keep going, apparently leads to bodily hunger, and even though there has been little
physical movement, we eat.
The researchers note that tiring activity both increases the amount of blood sugar and lactate(乳酸
盐)circulating in the blood and increases blood flow to the head.
Because the brain uses sugar and lactate as fuel, researchers wondered if the increased flow of
fuelrich blood during exercise could feed a wornout brain and reduce the urge to overeat.
Thirtyeight healthy college students were invited to determine their fitness and metabolic(新陈代
谢)rates and to report what their favorite pizza was. Afterward, they sat quietly for 35 minutes before being
given as much of their favorite pizza as they wanted. At a later date, the volunteers returned and spent 20
minutes making selections from college and graduateschool entrance exams.
Next, half the students sat quietly for 15 minutes, before being given pizza. The rest of the volunteers
spent those 15 minutes doing intervals on a treadmill(跑步机)two minutes of hard running followed by
about one minute of walking, repeated five times. These students were then allowed to gorge on pizza, too.
But by and large, they did not overeat.
When the researchers factored in(将……作为因素考虑)the calories burnt on running, they
determined that those students actually consumed 200 fewer total calories after their brain workouts than
the resting students.
The researchers do not know if the runners consumed extra calories at dinner. They also cannot tell
whether other types of exercise would have the same effect as running, although the researchers say they
suspect that if an activity causes someone to break into a sweat, it should also increase blood sugar and
lactate, feeding the brain and weakening hungers call.1.What do we learn from the first paragraph?
A.We eat for more physical movements. B.A busy brain can make one hungry.
C.Energy from the brain can’t be used up. D.An exam results in caloric consumption most.
2.What can a physical movement do?
A.Increase blood flow. B.Increase the amount of blood sugar.
C.Urge one to eat more. D.Make the brain tired.
3.What does the underlined phrase “gorge on” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Eat. B.Purchase. C.Taste. D.Obtain.
【文章大意】本文为说明文。研究人员猜测,过多的思考会消耗大脑的大量能量,这显然会导
致身体饥饿。由于大脑使用糖和乳酸盐作为燃料,研究人员想知道,在运动过程中增加的富含燃料
的血液流量,是否能让疲惫的大脑得到补充,并减少暴饮暴食的冲动。文章介绍了这项研究。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Researchers guess that too much thinking consumes a lot of energy from
the brain. So the brain, sensing that it may soon require more calories to keep going, apparently
leads to bodily hunger, ”(研究人员猜测,过多的思考会消耗大脑的大量能量。因此,大脑感觉
到它可能很快就需要更多的卡路里来维持运转,显然会导致身体饥饿)”可知,忙碌的大脑会
让人感到饥饿。故选 B。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers note that tiring activity both increases the amount of blood
sugar and lactate(乳酸盐)circulating in the blood and increases blood flow to the head. (研究人员
指出,累人的活动不仅会增加血液中循环的血糖和乳酸的含量,还会增加流向头部的血液流
量)”可知,身体运动能增加血液流动。故选 A。
3.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Next,half the students sat quietly for 15 minutes, before being given
pizza.”(接下来,一半的学生安静地坐了 15 分钟,然后给他们吃披萨)以及画线词后文“But
by and large, they did not overeat.(总的来说,他们没有吃得太多)”,画线词句中的 too 表示
“也”,可知这些学生也可以吃比萨。故画线短语意为“吃”。A. eat 吃;B. purchase 购买;C. taste
品尝;D. obtain 获得。故故选 A。
B
Learning, Fast and Deep
Over the past five years researchers in artificial intelligence have become the rock stars of the
technology world. A branch of AI known as deep learning, which uses neural(神经的) networks to scan through large volumes of data looking for patterns, has proven so useful that skilled practitioners can
command high six-figure salaries to build software for Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google.
The standard route into these jobs has been a PhD in computer science from one of America’s top
universities. Earning one takes years and requires a personality suited to academia, which is rare among
more normal folk.
That is changing.
Last month fast.ai, a non-profit education organization based in San Francisco, kicked off the third
year of its course in deep learning. Since its foundation it has attracted more than 100,000 students around
the globe from India to Nigeria. The course and others like it, come with a simple idea: there is no need to
spend years obtaining a PhD in order to practise deep learning. Creating software that learns can be taught
as a craft, not as a high intellectual pursuit to be undertaken only in an ivory tower. Fast.ai’s course can be
completed in just seven weeks.
To make it accessible to anyone who wants to learn how to build AI software is the aim of Jeremy
Howard, who founded fast.ai with Rachel Thomas, a mathematician. He says school mathematics is
sufficient. “No. Greek. Letters,” Mr. Howard intones, pounding the table with his fist for punctuation.
Some experts worry that this will serve only to create a flood of unreliable AI systems which will be
useless at best and dangerous at worst. In the earliest days of the Internet, only a select few nerds, namely
computerholics with specific skills, could build applications. Not many people used them. Then the
invention of the World Wide Web led to an explosion of web pages, both good and bad. But it was only by
opening up to all that the Internet gave birth to online shopping, instant global communications and search.
If Mr. Howard and others have their way, making the development of AI software easier will bring forth a
new crop of fruit of a different kind.
4.What can we learn about deep learning?
A.It replaces artificial intelligence.B.It attracts rock stars to practice.
C.It scans patterns for large companies.
D.It helps technicians to create software.
5.Fast.ai is an organization that _______.
A.ensures one to obtain a PhD B.teaches craft in ivory tower
C.offers a course in deep learning D.requires weeks to apply
6.The underlined words “No. Greek. Letters”in Paragraph 5 means doing fast.ai course is _______.
A.easy B.difficult
C.interesting D.boring
7.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A.it is quite reliable for anyone to grasp artificial intelligence
B.the Internet has brought forth a flood of useless AI systems
C.opening up to all leads to instant global search and online shopping
D.simplifying software development may result in unexpected outcomes
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。人工智能的深度学习被证明很有用,霍华德和数学家托马斯一
起创办的非营利性教育机构 fast.ai 致力于让深度学习变得简单。
4.D 细节理解题。根据第一段 A branch of AI known as deep learning, which uses neural networks to
scan through large volumes of data looking for patterns…build software for Amazon, Apple,
Facebook and Google.可知 AI 技术的一个分支、运用神经网络处理大量数据并从中寻找模式的
“深度学习”被证明非常有用,亚马逊、苹果、Facebook 和谷歌愿意开出六位数高薪,聘请熟
练的专业人员编写软件。这说明深度学习能帮助编写软件,故选 D 项。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第三段的 Last month fast.ai, a non-profit education organization based in San
Francisco, kicked off the third year of its course in deep learning.可知。上月,位于旧金山的非营
利性教育机构 fast.ai 进入了它开办深度学习课程的第三年。也就是说 fast.ai 是一个提供深度
学习课程的组织,故选 C 项。
6.A 推理判断题。根据前文 To make it accessible to anyone who wants to learn …He says school
mathematics is sufficient.可知让深度学习不再神秘是杰里米·霍华德的目标,为此,他和数学家
雷切尔·托马斯一起创立了 fast.ai,让任何想学习编写 AI 软件的人都能学习这门技术。霍华德
说有中学数学知识就足够了。这说明 fast.ai 的课程很简单,仅需要中学数学知识。因此霍华德说“No. Greek. Letters(没有,希腊,字母)是想说 fast, ai 的深度学习课程很简单。故选 A
项。
7. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段 If Mr Howard and others have their way, making the development of
AI software easier will bring forth a new crop of fruit of a different kind. 如果霍华德和其他人如
愿以偿,那么让 AI 软件开发变得更容易将会催生出一批新的不同的果实。由此推断简化软件
开发可能会导致意料之外的结果。故选 D 项。
C
If your life were a book and you were the author, how would you want your story to go? That’s the
question that changed my life forever.
At the age of 19, I became a massage therapist(治疗师). For the first time in my life, I felt free,
independent and completely in control of my life. That is, until my life took a detour. I was diagnosed with
bacterial meningitis. Over the course of two months, I lost my spleen(脾) , my kidneys , and both of my
legs below the knees.
One day, I went home. I crawled into bed and this is what my life looked like for the next few months:
me passed out, escaping from reality, with my legs resting by my side. I was completely physically and
emotionally broken. But I knew that in order to move forward, I had to let go of the old Amy and learn to
embrace the new Amy. And that is when I began to realize that I didn’t have to be small any more. I could
be as tall as I wanted or as short as I wanted depending on whom I was dating. And if I snowboard again,
my feet aren’t going to get cold. And the best of all, I thought, I can make my feet the size of all the shoes
that are on the sales shelf. And I did!
I started snowboarding. Then I went back to work. And then I co-founded a non-profit organization
for physical disabilities so that they could get involved in action sports. And just this past February, I won
two World Cup gold medals, making me the highest-ranked adaptive female snowboarder in the world.
Eleven years ago, when I lost my legs, I had no idea what to expect. But if you ask me today, if I
would ever want to change my situation, I would have to say no, because my legs haven’t disabled me.
They’ve forced me to rely on my imagination and to believe in possibilities, and that’s why I believe that
our imaginations can be used as tools for breaking through borders, because in our minds, we can do
anything and we can be anything. It’s belief in those dreams and facing our fears directly that allow us to
live our lives beyond our limits.8.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph3?
A.The author no longer wanted to make friends with Amy.
B.The author realized she had to learn to accept a new “herself” gladly.
C.The author wanted a new friend in her new life eagerly.
D.The author felt hard to choose between the old Amy and the new Amy.
9.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A.The author didn’t like her job as a massage therapist.
B.The author is still very sensitive to her disabilities.
C.The author has learnt to see her disabilities as blessings.
D.The author hopes to return to her old life.
10.What message does the author want to convey with her speech?
A.Roman is not built in one day.
B.Failure is the mother of success
C.Imagination is more important than knowledge.
D.It is not what happens to you but how you respond that counts.
11.The tone of the passage is best described as ________.
A.proud but stubborn B.interesting but regretful
C.optimistic and inspiring D.pessimistic and doubtful
【文章大意】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章作者 Amy 用她的故事告诉了我们:只要我们拥抱挑战,
敢于想象,心怀感恩,我们依然可以给烂透了的生活——绝地反击。
8. B 推理判断题。根据上下文及划线句 But I knew that in order to move forward, I had to let go of the
old Amy and learn to embrace the new Amy.(但是我知道,为了前进,我不得不放开旧的艾米,
学会拥抱新的艾米)可推出,作者意识到她必须学会快乐地接受一个新的“自己”。故选 B。
9.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的 They’ve forced me to rely on my imagination and to believe in
possibilities, and that’s why I believe that our imaginations can be used as tools for breaking
through borders, because in our minds, we can do anything and we can be anything.(它们迫使我
依靠我的想象力并相信各种可能性,这就是为什么我相信我们的想象力可以用作突破边界的
工具,因为在我们的思维中,我们可以做任何事情,我们可以成为任何事情)可知,作者学
会了将自己的残疾视为迫使自己前进、突破自己的契机。由此可知,作者已经学会把她的残疾看作是一种福气。故选 C。
10.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的 It’s belief in those dreams and facing our fears directly that allow
us to live our lives beyond our limits.(相信那些梦想并直接面对我们的恐惧使我们能够超越自
己的极限生活)可知,作者在演讲中想要告诉我们,重要的不是你身上发生了什么,而是你
如何应对。故选 D。
11.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的 And if I snowboard again, my feet aren’t going to get cold. And the
best of all, I thought, I can make my feet the size of all the shoes that are on the sales shelf. And I
did!(如果我再玩滑雪板,我的脚就不会冷了。我想,最棒的是,我能使我的脚适合货架上所
有的鞋的尺寸。我做到了!)可知,面对残疾作者展示出非常积极的态度。再根据最后一段中
的 It’s belief in those dreams and facing our fears directly that allow us to live our lives beyond our
limits.(相信那些梦想并直接面对我们的恐惧使我们能够超越自己的极限生活)可知,Amy
用她的故事告诉了我们:只要我们拥抱挑战,敢于想象,心怀感恩,我们依然可以给烂透了
的生活——绝地反击。由此可知,文章的基调是乐观的,激励人心的。故选 C。
D
Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or
struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as
much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.
According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it
comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies
have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s — much later than previously thought.
Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones
well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the
longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.
This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has
found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than
they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how
many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability
and perceptual speed — how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks
such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.
Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people
were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we
need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world,
but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it
becomes more important for us to be happy.
12.Barbara Strauch probably agrees that ______.
A.the young are better at handling important things
B.wrinkles and gray hair are the only symbols of aging
C.aging leads to the decline of the function of the brain
D.people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s
13.The continuing research has found older people perform better on ______.
A.vocabulary tests B.number ability
C.perceptual speed D.body balance
14.People are happier with aging because ______.
A.they know how to share feelings B.they learn to value the time left
C.they cannot focus on negative aspects D.they do not realize the possible dangers
15.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.People get happier with age. B.People get more forgetful with age.
C.People get wiser with age. D.People get more self-aware with age.
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述的内容是随着年龄的增长,确实会变得更聪明。
同样发现,人也会越来越开心。
12.D 细节理解题。根据第二段的 In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its
peak between our 40s and 60s 她认为一些研究已经发现,我们的大脑在 40 岁到 60 岁之间达到
顶峰,可知 Barbara Strauch 人们的大脑在 40 到 60 岁之间工作得最好,故选 D 项。
13.A 细节理解题。根据第四段的 Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal
memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. 持续的研究发现,老年人在
词汇测试、语言记忆(你能记住多少单词)和解决问题方面表现得更好。故选 A 项。
14.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段的 as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life : therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.随着年龄的增长我们
学到教训,意识到我们还剩下更少的时间活着,因此,快乐对于我们来说更重要。由此可以推
知,随着年龄的增长,人们会更快乐,因为他们学会珍惜剩下的时间,故选 B 项。
15.C 主旨大意题。通读全文和第五段的 In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof
that we do get wiser with age.可知本文主要讲述的内容是随着年龄的增长,确实会变得更聪明,
故选 C 项。
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。
Many people would like to return to school to increase earning potential, realize dreams, or finish
something they started long ago. However, some have families and jobs, and getting to day courses—or
even night school—can be an impossible thing.16. Thanks to the Internet and other forms of quick
communication, elearning for students has become the busy person’s preferred method for achieving
educational goals.17. Below are some examples.
If you already have a year or two of your degree behind you, elearning can help you complete your
requirements. Educationminded employers often give employees incentives(激励) to complete their
degrees online.
If you are a stayathome mom or dad and looking to return to the school then you are a best candidate
for elearning.18. As long as you can meet deadlines and perform highquality work, you can achieve the
highest educational goals.
19. In this case, elearning for students who are already in an advanced degree or specialized study
satisfies the requirement. You can earn the master’s or doctoral degree, as well as highlevel certifications
in your online program.
If you live in a place that does not offer the kind of education you want, you may want to look at
elearning in an overseas college or university. For instance, England has some of the world’s most
wellknown institutes, but many cannot go there for an entire education.20 .
A.What a pity that they are kept away!
B.Now they have a new choice—elearning.
C.But its highquality education can be enjoyed worldwide now.
D.The Internet provides you a new form of learning to realize dreams.E. In reality, almost anyone can benefit from the flexibility of elearning.
F. Many ecourses allow you to use the learning system whenever you can.
G. Many people have motivations for further education past the undergraduate degree.
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。许多人想回到学校来增加收入,实现梦想,或者完成他们很久
以前就开始做的事情。如今他们有了网上学习这一新的选择。文章主要介绍了网上学习的一些优势。
16.B 根据上文“However, some have families and jobs, and getting to day courses—or even night
school—can be an impossible thing.(然而,有些人有了家庭和工作,要在白天上课甚至夜校——
是不可能的事)”以及后文“Thanks to the Internet and other forms of quick communication,
elearning for students has become the busy person’s preferred method for achieving educational
goals.(由于互联网和其他形式的快速交流,网上学习对学生已经成为忙碌的人实现教育目标
的首选方法)”可知,本句属于过渡句,上文提到了有些人在白天上课甚至是夜校是不可能的
事情,后文则提到了网上学习是新的首选方法,说明本句旨在引出下文,提出网上学习这个
方式。故 B 选项“现在他们有了一个新的选择——网上学习”符合语境,故选 B。
17.E 根据上文“Thanks to the Internet and other forms of quick communication, elearning for students has
become the busy person’s preferred method for achieving educational goals.(由于互联网和其他形
式的快速交流,网上学习对学生已经成为忙碌的人实现教育目标的首选方法)”以及后文“Below
are some examples.( 下面是一些例子)”可知,上文提到了网上学习成了忙碌人群的首选方法,
后文则给出了网上学习益处的例子,故本句是在说明人们可以从网上学习中获益。故 E 选项“实
际上,几乎任何人都可以从网上学习的灵活性中获益”符合语境,故选 E。
18.F 根据上文“If you are a stayathome mom or dad and looking to return to the school then you are a
best candidate for elearning.(如果你是一个在家全职妈妈或爸爸,并希望重返学校,那么你是
一个网上学习最佳的候选人)”以及后文“As long as you can meet deadlines and perform
highquality work, you can achieve the highest educational goals.(只要你能在最后期限前完成高
质量的工作,你就能实现最高教育目标)”可知,上文提到了在家全职妈妈或爸爸是网上学习
的最佳候选人,可推知本句应当是在说明网上学生适合他们的原因。故 F 选项“许多网上课程
允许你随时使用学习系统”符合语境,故选 F。
19.G 根据后文“In this case, elearning for students who are already in an advanced degree or specialized
study satisfies the requirement. You can earn the master’s or doctoral degree, as well as highlevel
certifications in your online program.(在这种情况下,针对已经获得高等学位或完成专业课程学习的学生,网上学习满足了这一要求。你可以获得硕士或博士学位,以及在线课程的高级证
书)”可知,本段主要是在说明已经获得高等学位或完成专业课程学习的学生可以利用网上学
习进一步深造。故 G 选项“很多人在本科毕业后都有继续深造的动机”符合语境,故选 G。
20.C 根据上文“If you live in a place that does not offer the kind of education you want, you may want to
look at elearning in an overseas college or university. For instance, England has some of the
world’s most wellknown institutes, but many cannot go there for an entire education.(如果你住的
地方不能提供你想要的教育,你可能需要考虑海外学院或大学的网上学习。例如,英国有一
些世界上最著名的学院,但许多人不能去那里接受完整的教育)”由此可知,网上学习可以让
你考虑海外的学院,突破了地域限制,故本句与上文形成转折,表示许多人不能去英国一些
著名学院接受完整的教育,但是网上学习让全世界都可以享受到其高质量的教育。故 C 选项“但
现在全世界都可以享受到其高质量的教育”符合语境,故选 C。

Dear Tony,
I’m Li Hua. It's my honor to be invited to go cycling with you in the forest park this weekend But with
something unclear, I'm writing to ask you for some information.
To begin with, I'm eager to know when we will start and return so that I can make a proper
arrangement. I' m also wondering whether I can invite a few friends to go with us. I think our trip will be
more enjoyable if more cycling lovers join us. Besides, what about our lunch? My suggestion is that we
bring our lunch in case there is no food available when we are hungry.
I’d be appreciated if you could give me an early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
