第二部分 阅读理解
第一节
A篇
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了几年前，作者目睹了一位高中生用珠心算解题，于是对算盘产生了兴趣。他和女儿们一起报名了算盘课程，通过不断练习，他们的数学能力和自信心都有所提高的故事。
21. D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I was one of the many who...like a percentage change, I would go online.”可知，作者对数学怀有疑问，甚至有点恐惧。遇到数学问题时作者通常会回避，如果必须计算的话，作者会上网来解决。由此可知，作者并不擅长数学。
22. A 推理判断题。根据第四段内容，尤其是“after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less frightening”和“Part of the reason, it seems, is that practice and outcomes appear to move in step.”可知，作者通过自己学习算盘的经历，领悟到了“熟能生巧”。It’s never too late to learn“活到老，学到老”；Faith can move mountains“精诚所至，金石为开”；Knowledge starts with practice“实践出真知”。
23. D 词义猜测题。结合最后一段首句“My kids gained much as well”和最后一句中的“but that was how they finally developed confidence”可知，作者的孩子通过学习算盘提升了信心，由此可推断，画线词所在部分应表示他的女儿能够计算出曾经把她难住的数学题。defeat“使困惑，难住”，能解释画线词的意思。
B篇
本文是一篇说明文。养成一个新的好习惯所需要的时间取决于个人、习惯本身、环境和动机。不要太关注养成一种新习惯所需要的时间长短，而要关注养成这种习惯可能会带来的好处。
24. D 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“The time to form a new habit depends on the person, the habit itself, the environment, and the motivation.”可知，养成新习惯所需的时间取决于个人、习惯本身、环境和动机。由此可推知，养成不同习惯的时间差别很大。故选D。
25. C 细节理解题。根据第三段第三、四句“Now that I’m in my late 40s...I am sure the habit could bring advantages for many years.”可知，现在作者已经40多岁了，作者学会了以一种更实际的方式去思考。即使形成一个新习惯需要几个月或几年的时间，但作者考虑的是这个习惯能够带来的好处。故选C。
26. A 文章出处题。通读全文可知，文章围绕习惯展开，介绍了影响一个新习惯养成的几点因素及养成好习惯可能带来的好处，应属于杂志教育版块的范畴。故选A。
C篇
本文是一篇说明文。约翰·英纳斯中心和布里斯托尔大学的科学家发现了植物是如何在黑暗和阴暗的地方共存的。
27. C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Plants in the deep darkness of a thick forest...won’t attempt to top their neighbors in growth as those in moderate shade do.”可知，在中度阴暗的环境中，植物试图比其邻居长得高。故选C。
28. D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“So how do plants...lies in the clocks inside them”和第三段中的“These clock components...neighbors.”可知，在深度阴暗的环境中，昼夜节律时钟能够控制植物的生长。故选D。
29. A 目的意图题。根据文章内容可知，作者写作本文的目的是介绍一个有关植物的新发现。故选A。
30. D 标题概括题。综观全文，尤其是第一段中的“Scientists have discovered...dark and shady”可知，科学家发现了植物是如何在黑暗和阴暗的地方共存的，因此D项最能概括文章的主要内容，适合作标题。故选D。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了让一段英语对话能继续下去的几种做法。
31. C 空前一句提出问题：如何继续一段英语对话？下文列举了一些做法。C项“你可以尝试以下几种方法”承上启下，符合语境。故选C。
32. G 空后是由“Where”、“What”和“How”开头引导的疑问句，与G项中的“where”，“what”，“why”，“how”相呼应。故选G。
33. A 空后列举的回答在内容上比空前列举的回答更为充实。A项“或者，你可以多说一些”与下文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选A。
34. B 通读该段内容可知，本段主要介绍了要大胆地使用英语和别人交流并勤加练习。B项“要勇敢并勤加练习”，统领全段，符合语境。故选B。
35. D 空前指出要大胆地与某个看起来比较空闲的人进行交谈。D项“然后，你可能就交到了一个新朋友”与上文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选D。

第一节 应用文写作
参考范文：
Dear Jim,
I’m writing to invite you to take part in a class activity on the May Day holiday.
With the aim of raising the awareness of participating in labor, we plan to go to a farm in the outskirt of Beijing on May 1st. We are going to experience some basic farm work like removing weeds and transplanting vegetable seedlings. School buses will take us there so we’ll meet at the school gate by 8 am. At around 2 pm, we will come back.
I have to remind you to wear comfortable shoes, and bring a pair of gloves, so that you may better enjoy the farming activities.
I am looking forward to the activity and your participation.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写
参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
Seeing his father doing this, Varun was very confused. But he was very curious to know why his father kept the wooden sticks like that. His father slightly smiled and said, “My dear son, when you were a kid I used to do the same thing. If you miss the path, you can easily get the way. Once you leave me you will become alone. I don’t want my son to search for the road!”
Paragraph 2:
Then Varun realized that his father knew everything. He felt ashamed of himself to leave his father alone. Varun hugged his father very tightly and they both started weeping. After that Varun decided to take care of his father like a little baby. Varun’s father felt really happy for his son’s behavior and the days went on with a huge smile on each other’s faces.

Text 10
W: Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you gain weight or lose weight. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors can make us have a big appetite (食欲). In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. Try to make dinner last at least half an hour. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music.
Get smaller dishes. Big bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate.2021—2022 学年高一下学期英语期中试卷（新高考）（浙江版）

第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 （共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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
A few years ago, I stood in a small classroom just outside of New York City, watching a high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions. An instructor read out numbers — 74,470, 70,809, 98,402 — and Stevenson added them in her head. For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the problems correctly.
The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus (算盘). Stevenson used a practice called “mental abacus”, imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work through the problems.
From watching Stevenson, I knew that gaining skill at the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads (珠子), so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who had some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear. My typical solution was avoidance, and if I had to calculate something like a percentage change, I would go online.
Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less frightening. I didn’t become Euclid, the founder of geometry (几何学). But the practice brought my numerical fears down. This is a time-tested power of the abacus. Confidence grows easily in the device, and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test, according to one study. Part of the reason, it seems, is that practice and outcomes appear to move in step.
My kids gained much as well. My youngest daughter could work out those math problems that once baffled her, while my older child brought her abacus to school to show it to her classmates and teacher. These were just small successes for them, but that was how they finally developed confidence.
21. What do we know about the author from paragraph 3
A. He had a close relationship with kids.
B. He regarded math as useful.
C. He was good at computer.
D. He was weak in math.
22. What does the author realize from his learning experience
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. It’s never too late to learn.
C. Faith can move mountains.
D. Knowledge starts with practice.
23. What does the underlined word “baffled” in the last paragraph mean
A. Bored. B. Inspired.
C. Interested. D. Defeated.
B
The time to form a new habit depends on the person, the habit itself, the environment, and the motivation. Generally speaking, 60 days is good enough for getting a new habit formed, but some habits could take twice as long. Some habits will never be formed no matter how much time passes. Even a habit that takes months or years to form can still be broken eventually.
Becoming an early riser was really challenging. I struggled with this habit for years to manage to form it. I do break this habit now and then, usually by choice to experience something different for a while. In the past 90 days, I have stayed in bed past 5 am perhaps only two or three times. It takes me less than a week to be back with it. Remembering the benefits surely helps.
In my 20s I was too impatient with many habits. If I couldn’t get something working in a few weeks, I’d often drop it and try something else. Now that I’m in my late 40s, I have learned to think in a more practical way. I know that even if it takes many months or years to form a new habit, I am sure the habit could bring advantages for many years. It doesn’t take me too long to think of carrying out the new habit, I just get it started. When you think about a habit that you have stuck to for many years, who cares if it took a few weeks or six months to form it
Don’t worry so much about how long it takes to form a habit. Instead, consider which habits could improve the quality of your life so that they are worthy of six months to get them formed. When a habit forms at last, it feels uncomfortable not to do it, and your day doesn’t feel complete without it.
24. What can we infer from the first paragraph
A. We have to keep the habits once formed.
B. Most habits can be formed quickly.
C. We need sixty days to form a new habit.
D. The time to form habits varies greatly.
25. What does the writer think more about the habit when he is in his forties
A. The development of the habit.
B. The expense of the habit.
C. The benefits of the habit.
D. The limitation of the habit.
26. In which part of a magazine is this text most probably taken from
A. Education.
B. Technology.
C. Tourism.
D. Literature.
C
Scientists have discovered how plants manage to live alongside each other in places that are dark and shady. Plants in the deep darkness of a thick forest, where natural supplies are not very great in amount, won’t attempt to top their neighbors in growth as those in moderate (中度的) shade do. In deep shade conditions, it would be a waste of energy and harmful to survival because green shoots would never be able to top their larger neighbors in growth.
So how do plants prevent such growth in deep shade conditions The secret lies in the clocks inside them, say scientists from the John Innes Centre and the University of Bristol.
They have discovered that when plants notice deep shade, this changes the expression of genes in certain parts of the circadian clock (昼夜节律时钟) — the internal daily timer found in plants and other living things. These clock components perform an additional role in preventing plants from lengthening and overtopping neighbors.
The work identifies a previously unknown role of the circadian clock in controlling plant development, and the findings may have possible effects on both natural plant populations and crops. Professor Antony Dodd of the John Innes Centre said, “The biological clock of plants plays a big part in their development and fitness. This work casts new light on a new role of the circadian clock in adapting plants to competition with other plants in their environments.” “It also gives us new insights into how plants adapt to very deep shade, where resources are very limited,” said Professor Kerry Franklin at the University of Bristol.
This work provides evidence for the stability of the circadian clock in stressful environments, and information that may be useful in developing new generations of crops in a challenging climate.
27. What do plants normally do in moderate shade
A. Struggle to preserve energy.

It is not always easy to keep a conversation going in English. You might not be sure about what to say. Or maybe you are afraid that your pronunciation is not good. So how can we continue a conversation in English 31
Listen and follow up
First, remember the importance of listening. Listen to the other person attentively, so that you can ask a follow-up question. For example, let’s say the other person tells you, “I just got back from a trip to Canada.” 32 Where did you go in Canada What was your favorite place there How was the food there
Avoid simple “yes” or “no” questions
If you want to keep a conversation going, it’s a good idea to ask questions that cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”. If the other person asks you a “yes” or “no” question, try to give a longer answer to help keep the conversation going.
For example, a friend might ask, “Hey, have you seen the new Star Wars movie ” You could just answer, “No, I haven’t.” 33 You could answer: “No, but I plan to see it soon. How
about you ”
34
Do not worry about your pronunciation. If your pronunciation is a little different, the other person will still understand your message if you try speaking slowly and clearly. When you are traveling in an English-speaking country and have some free time, be brave and speak in English with someone who does not look too busy. 35
A. Or, you could say more.
B. Be brave and practice often.
C. You can try the following ways.
D. Then you may make a new friend.
E. Why did you choose the destination
F. Correct your pronunciation if possible.
G. You can continue with a question using where, what, why, or how.

While the Internet has guaranteed the place of English as the most used language, Chinese still holds the top position as the most used mother tongue. Since Shang dynasty, Chinese people
56 (use) a complete system of characters. One of the great advantages of using one single writing system is that people 57 speak different dialects can understand each other’s writing. Therefore, communication can go on 58 many troubles. People in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan still write traditional Chinese characters, while people on China’s mainland use
59 (simplify) Chinese characters, but it does not pose much 60 (difficult) in recognizing the characters. Some scholars believe that Chinese characters are one of the important 61 (factor) that keep South and North China unbroken for 62 very long time. Some scholars even consider Chinese characters 63 (be) the Fifth Great Invention of Ancient China, alongside the other Four Great Inventions, which are paper, the compass, gunpowder and movable typography (活版印刷术). Though pronunciation marks are 64 (slight) different, Chinese characters 65 (adopt) in other languages in ancient time, which indicates China’s cultural influence on these countries since ancient times, especially during the Tang (618—907) and the Song (960—1279) dynasties.

Once upon a time in a village, there lived a small boy named Varun, who lost his mother when he was 10 years old. Varun’s father loved his son very much and worked very hard every day on the farm to meet the need of his son. And because of his hard work, Varun got an opportunity for higher education. Since Varun was intelligent, he studied very well and got placed in one of the best companies in the Town after graduation.
Varun had to take his father along with him because his father was old and sick. Varun’s father who was very self-dependent did not want to rely on his son. But his relatives convinced him to go along with his son and stay with him.
After a few days, Varun’s father who was already ill got sicker day by day. Varun took care of his father and served all the things that were necessary for him. But Varun started thinking his own life, which made him unhappy and stressed. He started ignoring his father.
In one evening when Varun came back home, he said to his father that he wanted to take him for an outing. Varun’s father felt so happy that he immediately got up from his bed. And he was very excited to spend some precious time with his son. But actually Varun had already made up his mind to take his father for a long walk and leave him on the way. While walking, Varun’s father picked up all the wooden sticks and kept them aside on the road, leaving a gap and keeping the sticks one after another on the road.
