Dear Peter,
I am exceedingly delighted to hear from you. You asked me about my travel on the holiday. I am writing to tell you about it in details.
On summer holiday my parents took me to Beijing. It is located in the North of China. On the first day, we went to the Great Wall, which is very long and old. It has millions of bricks. We felt very tired when we climbed to the top of the Great Wall. We also went to the Palace Museum where I bought a lot of souvenirs of the Palace Museum. What nice palaces these are! The following days, we went to the Summer Palace, Tian Tan, North Lake and Xiang Hill.
I really enjoyed the trip to Beijing.
Yours,
Li Hua

Suddenly, I didn’t feel quite so sorry for myself. She seemed sad, now that I'd taken the time to notice. I decided to do something to cheer her up. I have a better idea," I said enthusiastically. “Come on一let’s start back. “OK," agreed Jen, and a little smile caught at the corner of her mouth. Ten minutes later, Jen and I put our skates on the front porch, and I told her we can make a big snow turkey. “This is going to be great,” Jen said, grinning at me with rosy cheeks.
We were so busy making the snow turkey that we didn't hear our parents come outside. "It's the biggest snow turkey I've ever seen.” said Mom with a grin. A moment later, we were all busy working on our giant creation. When our snow turkey was finished, Mom said to me, “Thanks for cheering Jen up. You're a good brother, and you come up with great ideas.” A happy feeling spread through me. I said, “I guess we make a good team.” The snow turkey helped me remember that everything could still work out even if it had to change.河北省盐山中学2021-2022学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题

A
You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because of the discrimination(歧视) against women . She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
21.What is Jane Addams noted for in history
A. Her social work. B. Her teaching skills.

A. Her lack of proper training in law. B. Her little work experience in court.
C. Because she was a woman. D. The poor financial conditions.
23. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the US
A. Jane Addams. B. Rachel Carson.
C. Sandra Day O’Connor. D. Rosa Parks
24.What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text

C. They are pioneers(先驱). D. They are Peace-lovers.
B
At thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊断）with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are no different from your classmates, young man.”
I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day ——— with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying ”
25.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because ． .
A. He was new to the class B. He was tried of literature
C. He had an attention disorder D. He wanted to take the task home
26.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage
A. He had good sight. B. He made a great invention.
C. He gave up reading. D. He learned a lot from school.
27.What is the main idea of the passage
A. The disabled should be treated with respect.
B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.
C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.
D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.
C
Studies have shown most people fail to realize how much time they spend on their smartphones each day.
Frank and Amelia’s family were put to a test, using a free app called “Moment-Screen Time Tracker”. The Vascellaros—Frank, Amelia, 14-year-old twins Frankie and Joe, and 17-year-old Sam—all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.
“Honestly, I don’t feel like I’m on my phone a lot,” Amelia Vascellaro said. Amelia was on her phone far less often than Frank, according to the app. While Amelia spent about an hour per day on the phone, Frank spent closer to four hours on his phone, which came as a shock to him. The children’s times varied but they often spent more than a couple of hours on the phone as well.
Minneapolis-based Dr. Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up lot among families. Lind Seal said many family members’ phone use has become problematic.
“If we hear more than once, ‘Do you have to be on your phone right now Can you please put your phone down Did you hear what I said ’ it may be sign that it is negatively (消极地) influencing our family relationships and our daily lives,” she said.
Lind Seal said actually paying attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first step in deciding when to put it down.
She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills. “What we find is that we are really losing out on empathy—the ability to understand other people’s feelings and problems—when we spend a lot of time on our smartphones to communicate with other people,” she said.
28. How did the Vascellaros feel about the test results
A. Satisfied. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Surprised.
29. Why did Lind Seal mention the three questions in Paragraph 5
A. To encourage people to live simple life.
B. To ask people if they use phones too much.
C. To explain the signs of problematic phone use.
D. To show the importance of close relationships.
30. How did Lind Seal probably look at the app
A. She worried about it. B. She was in favor of it.
C. She felt it was a waste of time. D. She thought it needed improvements.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Too much use of smartphones. B. The influence of apps on teens.
C. Children’s safety on the Internet. D. Problems among family members.
D
It’s not easy being a teenager —— nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager．You can make your child feel angry, hurt or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself．It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you．
Expect a lot from your child, just not everything．Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind．The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up．Instead，let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time，remind him that you’re always there for him if he should seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy. Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations．
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for l5 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least all equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation(节制).Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job．
The main purpose of the text is to tell parents ．
A. how to get along with a teenager B. how to help a teenager grow up
C. how to understand a teenager D. how to respect a teenager
33. What does the phrase "clam up" in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. refuse to talk B. show respect
C. become excited D. seek help
34. The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager ．
A. to pay for his own telephone B. to use the phone in a sensible way
C. to share the phone with friends D. to answer the phone quickly
35. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text
A. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs.
B. Let him have his own telephone.
C. Give him advice only when necessary.
D. Not talk about personal things with him.

How to Improve Your Study Habits
Perhaps your are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. 36 Yes, even students of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here are some tips for you:
1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. 37 It’s important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play.
2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject.
3. 38 Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.
4. Study regularly. 39 Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performances on test.
5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide more than grades. 40
Be volunteer to raise questions.
Make good use of your time in class.
Go over your notes as soon as you can after class.
D. Those who make the best of their time study with more ease.
E. They also let you know what you need to spend more time studying on.
F. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.
G. This is not necessarily the case, however. You can receive better grades if you want to.

I could smell the turkey cooking, even in the attic(阁楼) where I was hiding out. I heard a laugh, too, and a bang from something being dropped. Our house was noisier since my new stepsister（继母） and stepmother moved in—Jen and Mom.
I called her Mom, but the word felt uncomfortable, like a pair of shoes that pinched （夹脚）.I didn't remember my own mother; she had died in an accident when I was a baby. It had always been just Dad and me. We were a team. Now, so much had changed, and sometimes I wished I had the magic to change it back.
I heard Dad's footsteps upstairs. "Do you want to take Jen skating（滑雪） " he asked.
“I guess.“ I sighed, thinking about how Dad and I usually spent Thanksgiving Day building a big snowman. But this year, Dad was too busy helping Mom cook the turkey（火鸡）.
“Thanks," Dad said and put his arm around my shoulders. "We'll make that snowman later，” he promised.
“Yeah,” I agreed, not too sure we’d have time.
Mom handed us some homemade cookies with smiling faces as we grabbed（拿起）our skates（滑雪板）. I had to admit, Mom came up with good ideas sometimes. Even though I liked that, I still couldn't help but feel as if she were changing everything.
“No, thanks. I'm not hungry," I said, although I was, a little.
“Ready " I asked Jen. She nodded, and we headed out the front door.
The snow crunched（吱吱作响） under our boots as we walked down the street. The silence was awkward. "Did you go skating a lot last year " I asked, blurting（脱口而出） out the first thing that came to my mind.
Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends on a farm. I especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”
Until then, I'd never even thought about how Jen must be feeling. She not only had a new stepfather and stepbrother; she had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake, and she'd had to move up north with us. She'd had more changes than me.
Suddenly, I didn't feel quite so sorry for myself.______________________________
We were so busy making the snow turkey that we didn't hear our parents come outside. _________________________________________________________________
