The Best Summer Camps in the Country

Founded in 1936, Camp Vega is an all-girls camp named after the brightest star in the summer sky, with the motto “the most exciting thing a girl will find at Vega is herself”. Campers wear uniforms and participate in a weekly “Sunset Circle” friendship-building campfire.

A five-year-old dog named Millie is helping to keep the streets of Hereford, England, clean with her 80-year-old owner Alfie Kitson. Kitson only has to point at a bit of rubbish on the floor and say, "Put that in the bin," and Millie will do what he bids.
Millie was just eight months old when she was found abandoned in a rubbish bag tied to a tree branch in Spain,where Kitson and his family lived for 20 years. After giving her a new home, Kitson later spotted a soldier and his dog doing the trick in a park and set about trying to get Millie to do the same.
He began putting a box,of similar size to a public bin, in their Spanish garden,and bit by bit,he raised its height as she understood to drop things in the box. And luckily, the bins in Hereford were just the right size for Millie to showcase her talent when she moved to Britain with Kitson and his wife.
“Obviously, environmental concerns are a hot topic at the moment, so if we can help clear up rubbish and plastic off the street, then we're doing our bit to help,” Kitson said. “We rescued her because our house felt empty without an animal. Dogs and cats are a big part of the life of anyone who loves animals. She is the family, and we are glad we can show her off to neighbors as she is really an amazing dog.”
Hereford office worker Samuel Tiler regularly spots Millie working her magic in the city center.
"The first time I saw her do it, I thought I might be going mad. I thought, ‘Is that really a dog tidying up people's litter ’” he said of the dog. “I just wish people could be more thoughtful as it shouldn't take a dog to clear up after them,” Tiler added. “If you've got a dog taking responsibility for the environment—surely we can do the same.”
24.What does the underlined word "bids"in paragraph l probably mean
A. Commands. B.Promises. C.Misses. D.Witnesses.
25. When did Kitson begin to teach Millie the trick
A. Before he bought his new home in Spain.
B. When Millie was less than eight months old.
C. After he saw a man training his dog.
D.After he moved to his new home in Britain.
26.Why did Kitson take Millie home
A.To show off to his neighbors.
B. To guard his house.
C. To accompany him and his wife.
D.To clean up the rubbish in the park.
27. What can we learn from Tiler’s words
A. Dogs are really friendly to humans.
B. Humans have to pay the price for their mistakes.
C. More dogs should be trained to help keep the environment tidy.
D. Humans should do their part in keeping the environment clean.

An exciting landing process of Chang’e-4 lunar probe(月球探测器) was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing, Jan.3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a．m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side never visible from Earth.
China’s Chang’e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control.The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend(传说), was launched on May 21,2018, and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments.The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang’e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.
The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth’ s and moon’s gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can“see” both the earth and the far side of the moon.
The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by US space experts in the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers. Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星) hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang’e-4 probe，the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.
Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.
28．What do we learn from the second paragraph
A.The relay satellite was launched on Jan.3, 2019.
B. Chang’ e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.
C. The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.
D．The relay satellite can handle data from Chang’ e-4 probe.
29．Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small
A．To reduce the cost as much as possible.
B．To make it circle Moon for a longer time.
C．To avoid being crashed by other satellites.
D．To follow American space experts’ advice.
30．What made researchers suffer from great stress
A．Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.
B．The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.
C．Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.
D．People’ s never being optimistic about the relay satellite.
31．What is the main idea of the text
A．China is a new space power after the USA.
B．Chang’e-4 probe lands on Moon’s far side.
C．Chinese space engineers make much progress.
D．Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.
D
COVID herd immunity (群体免疫) will not happen in 2021
World Health Organization (WHO) chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan said Monday that herd immunity to coronavirus would not be achieved in 2021, despite the growing availability of vaccines (疫苗产量).
Factors that delay herd immunity include limited access to vaccines in developing countries, skepticism(怀疑) over vaccination, and the potential for virus mutations(变异), according to health experts.
A growing number of countries around the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Germany and other European Union countries, are in the first stages of mass-vaccination campaigns.
Herd immunity occurs when enough people in a population have immunity to an infection(感染) so that it prevents the disease from spreading.
“We are not going to achieve any levels of population immunity or herd immunity in 2021,” Swaminathan said, while emphasizing that measures like physical distancing, hand washing and mask wearing continue to be necessary in controlling COVID’s spread for the rest of the year.
However, Swaminathan praised the “incredible progress” made by vaccine researchers to develop several safe and effective vaccines at unprecedented (空前的) speed. Countries are currently administering vaccines developed by BioNTech-Pfizer, Oxford University AstraZeneca and Moderna.
“The vaccines are going to come,” she said. “They are going to go to all countries, but meanwhile we mustn’t forget that there are measures that work,” she added, referring to hygiene (卫生) and social distancing.
“We won’t get back to normal quickly,” Dale Fisher, chairman of the WHO’s Outbreak Alert and Response Network, told a conference hosted by Reuters news agency. “We know we need to get to herd immunity and we need that in a majority of countries, but we are not going to see that in 2021,” Fisher said. “There might be some countries that might achieve it but even then that will not create normal especially in terms of border controls,” he added.
32. Which of the following are not the factors that delay herd immunity
A. People are skeptical about vaccination.
B. Access to vaccines in developing countries is limited.
C. A growing number of countries begin mass-vaccination campaigns.
D. Virus mutations are likely to happen.
33. As for the first stages of mass-vaccination campaigns, which country is not mentioned in the passage
A. Vietnam B. Germany C. Singapore D. the United Kingdom
34. What can we learn from what Fisher said
A. In many countries in 2021, people will live a normal life in terms of border controls.
B. If some countries might achieve herd immunity, people will live a “normal” life.
C. In terms of good border controls, we can achieve herd immunity.
D. There maybe a long way to get to herd immunity all over the world.
35. What is the attitude of Swaminathan to the progress of vaccine development
A. Positive B. Negative C. Critical D. neutral

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Live Every Day Like It’s A Holiday
We feel great on holiday because we let go of everyday stresses and strains. 36 So whether or not you’re going away this summer, there’s plenty you can do to make sure you benefit from that holiday feeling.
Sleep like a holidaymaker
Sleep like a baby when you are on your holidays but stay awake when you’re in your usual routine 37 To reset your sleep pattern, avoid bringing problems to bed. That includes your phone, TV or laptop. Make sure the room is dark and cool. Aim for at least seven hours’ ZZZs—just as you would on holiday.
Get moving
38 Given that exercise is cheap, healthy and reduces stress, it makes absolute sense to build it into your day. A walk will release happy hormones, and eases anxiety and mild depression.
39
Part of the joy of going away is lingering over delicious food with families. Take up the holiday habit of sitting down as a family for at least one meal a day. Families who eat together experience less anxiety, less depression and less obesity, research has found.
Be a tourist in your own city
Part of the thrill of a holiday is discovering a new place and doing new things. 40 At weekends, check out a new music venue, visit a different museum or have a drink in that interesting-looking pub you’re always walking past. It will get you out of routine and make you feel alive. A bit like a holiday, really.
A. Make your meals a celebration.
B. Carve out some dedicated quiet time.
C. If so, you might need to examine your sleep habits.
D. Just make sure you schedule it into your day or week.
E. But it’s also easy to be a holidaymaker in the place you live.
F. Research has even shown that vacations help health and well-being.
G. When you’re travelling, you walk around new cities without a second thought.

It is known to us that every year of high school is a tough and busy time. 62
We all know that not getting enough sleep is not good for our health, but it has been found that less sleep could even cause us to have fewer friends.
According to researchers from the University of California, people who don’t get enough sleep are less willing to socialize with others. 63
The researchers carried out a small study. They tested eighteen young participants who had just had a good night’s sleep and tested them again after a sleepless night. 64
When each person on the video got too “close”, they could choose to stop the video.
The results showed that the participants kept each person at a distance of 60 percent further back if they hadn't gotten enough sleep. 65 But when the participants got a good night's sleep, they allowed the person to get much closer to them.
According to lead researcher Matthew Walker, the less sleep you get, the less you want to socialize with others. In turn, other people may think you’re strange and stay away from you. 66
So if you want to be a more sociable and popular person, sleeping well might help. "One night of good sleep makes you feel more outgoing and socially confident, ”Walker said.
A. They are simply too tired to go out.
B. Too little sleep makes us get sick easily.
C. You may have trouble getting enough sleep.
D. Here are some tips to help you beat your sleep problems.
E. They felt that their personal space was being taken over.
F. This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less.
G. The participants watched videos of people walking toward them.高二期末考试参考答案
