Dear Katherine,
How are things going with you these days I’m sorry to tell you that the English drama competition scheduled to be held next week has been postponed for some reason.
I suppose everybody around the world has been somehow affected by Covid-19, and we are no exception. The greatest influence on us is that the English drama competition this year has been postponed to next month. If the virus is under control soon, we will rearrange and inform you in time. I wish it would be convenient for you to be our judge then.
Please stay safe and stay in contact with me.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
Now this young man started to clean his mother’s hand gently. For the first time, he noticed his mother’s hands were rough with cuts and calluses. Some of the cuts were so deep that she shivered with pain when they were cleaned. It was not until that moment that the young man started to understand the sacrifice his mother had made to ensure he could get a good education. Stroking his mother’s hands with both affection and guilt, he felt a lump in his throat, tears of admiration and sorrow streaming down his face.
The following day he went to the director’s office again. His face was calm, and the excitement and pride in his eyes were replaced by sincerity and gratitude. “Thank you for this valuable lesson,” said the young man with tears glittering in his eyes. Then he continued to tell the manager that he was regretful about being an insensitive son who had been obsessed with grades and career opportunities, neglecting how his mother had suffered all these years. The manager listened attentively and finally said with a smile curving his lips, “I’m glad you’ve gained the power of appreciation, which is an essential quality in a manager. You are hired. ”葫芦岛市2022-2023学年高二上学期期末学业质量监测

A
New Year’s celebrations take many forms, but most cultures have one thing in common—have a good time after a long, hard year. For much of the globe this involves drinking with friends until the sun comes up, singing together. But others have rather more curious habits, often filled with superstition (迷信).
In Denmark, people stand on chairs and jump off together as the clock strikes midnight, really leaping into the new year. The Danes also throw plates at their friends’ homes during the night—the more pieces you find outside your door in the morning, the more popular you are said to be.
In Finland, say tour guides, people pour melted lead into cold water to predict the year ahead from the shape the metal forms. If the shape represents a ship it is said to predict travel, if it’s a ball, good luck.
The Dutch build massive bonfires (篝火) with their Christmas trees and eat sugary donuts—one of many cultures to consume round New Year’s foods traditionally believed to represent good fortune.
Spaniards, in turn, eat a dozen grapes before the strike of midnight, each fruit representing a month that will either be sweet or sour.
In the Philippines, people wear polka dots (带圆点的服装) for good luck, while in some countries of South America people put on brightly coloured underwear to attract fortune—red for love and yellow for financial success.
Despite regional and cultural differences, for most the New Year’s festivities are a chance to let off steam before the annual cycle starts all over again. “This is a holiday that is about celebration and letting go,” explained George Washington University sociologist Amitai Etzioni.
21. In which country is the festival related to metal
A. Denmark. B. Spain.
C. Finland. D. The Netherlands.
22. What can we learn about New Year’s celebrations from the text
A. The Danes throw grapes at their friends’ homes during the night.
B. Spaniards eat many donuts before the strike of midnight.
C. The Dutch build massive walls with their Christmas trees.
D. Some people in South America wear red underwear for love.
23. What does the underlined phrase “let off steam” in the last paragraph mean
A. Get married. B. Get relaxed.
C. Make money. D. Make friends.
B
I’ve been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree.
It’s a unique tree. In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.
The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties that I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed to flourish (茂盛).
What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse (生物多样性) environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.
Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.
Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.
Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.
24. Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden
A. To protect the injured skull.
B. To prevent herself from sunburn.
C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.
D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.
25. What is the tree’s survival strategy
A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.
B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.
C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.
D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.
26. Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree
A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.
B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.
C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.
D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.
27. What reminder did the author most probably get from the tree
A. It’s better to give than to take.
B. Trees and plants have their own ways to flourish.
C. Even a good relationship is not always trouble-free.
D. Acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to be.
C
If you’ve ever wondered who decides what sports to be included or left out at the Olympic Games, you’re probably not the only one, because the processes are a little complex and confusing.
It falls to the Executive Board of International Olympic Committee (IOC) to suggest which sports will be included and the rest of the IOC then votes according to a long list of standards: How much value the sport would add to the Olympic legacy (遗产); How long the sport has existed; How popular the sport is in the host country; How much it would cost to broadcast the events, and many other things.
Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games saw the inclusion of skateboarding, surfboardin, sport climbing and karate, all of which were selected by the IOC for the first time ever.
So, what contributes to a sport being left out Having to limit the Games to a certain number of athletes, as well as scheduling needs can lead to some sports being left off the program, especially if they fall short of the above standards.
There’s perhaps no better example of this than softball and baseball. While both are included at Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, it’s the first time they were included at Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The IOC voted them out from London 2012 Olympic Games. Officials said that neither sport had global attraction.
But it’s not just the IOC that has the say. The host city can also play a role in the decision, and push for particular sport for the year that it is hosting. For a real-world example, look no further than the 2024 Games to be held in Paris, which will see the inclusion of breakdancing as an Olympic sport for the first time.
What does the second paragraph focus on
A. The voting process. B. The advantages of IOC.
C. The costs of the Games. D. The selecting standards.
Which was added to Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games for the first time
A. Baseball. B. Breakdancing. C. Skateboarding. D. Softball.
30. Why was baseball left out at London 2012 Olympic Games
A. It had too many players. B. It had a short history.
C. It was difficult to broadcast. D. It was not popular enough.
31. Who is most unlikely to have a say in selecting the Olympic sports
A. The athletes. B. The Executive Board of IOC.
C. The host cities. D. International Olympic Committee.
D
Mosquito bites are unavoidable in summer—or is that so Scientists recently found that mosquitoes are more attracted to some colors than others, which could possibly prove useful to those trying to avoid the annoying bites.
The study found that after a common type of mosquitoes smelled CO2 the gas humans breathe out—they decided to land on some colored dots (色点) but ignored others.
“Imagine you’re on a sidewalk and you smell toasty,” the lead researcher said in a press release announcing the study’s findings. “That’s probably a sign that there’s a bakery nearby and you might start looking around for it. Here, we started to learn what visual elements that mosquitoes are looking for after smelling their own version of a bakery.”
The research team put different colored dots at the bottom of a box and sprayed (喷酒) them with CO2. They found that mosquitoes were drawn most to red, orange and black. They also found that mosquitoes ignored green, blue and white. When a researcher reached his hand into the box wearing a green glove, mosquitoes ignored it, even when it was sprayed with CO2.
Unfortunately, avoiding mosquitoes isn’t as easy as choosing the right color of clothes. Human skin delivers a vivid red-orange “signal” to mosquitoes, the researchers said, making it hard to hide completely
“We previously discovered there are three major hints that attract mosquitoes: your breath your sweat and the temperature of your skin,” the lead researcher said. “Now we have found a fourth hint: the color red, which can not only be found on your clothes, but is also found in everyone’s skin. The shade of your skin doesn’t matter. We are all giving off a strong red feature.”
While the research found that the mosquitoes appeared to prefer certain colors, it did not measure whether wearing colors like green or blue would help keep away from the mosquitoes. The researchers hope that their findings can help find other methods to drive back the biting insects.
32. Why did the researchers spray the dots with CO2
A. It drives mosquitoes away.
B. It is attractive to mosquitoes.
C. It prevents mosquitoes finding targets.
D. It’s a practical material to catch mosquitoes.
33. Which of the following colors causes the least attention from mosquitoes
A. Red. B. Black C. Orange. D. Blue.
34. What does paragraph 6 focus on
A. The features of human skin.
B. Factors that attract mosquitoes.
C. What elements mosquitoes ignore.
D. How to choose the color of clothes.
35. What may be the hopeful result of the study
A. Mosquitoes will disappear someday.
B. Most people will wear colorful clothes.
C. The survival rate of mosquitoes will be affected.
D. More ways will be found to keep mosquitoes off.

When did you last write a letter by hand In a digital world, where sending a text or email is more convenient than using snail mail, is traditional pen and paper dying out Some people claim that writing has many benefits. So maybe it’s not time to put away your pen yet.
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. 36 . But crafting a handwritten document is unique: It requires planning and thought, and it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.
37 . This is particularly relevant for students. They are used to typing notes into a laptop, which is thought to lack the “tactile feedback (触觉反馈) ” to the brain that contact between pen and paper does. BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary, who says that “taking notes by hand involves cognitive (认知的)
engagement in summarizing, paraphrasing, organizing, concept and vocabulary mapping.” 38 .
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too. Scribbling notes, shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. 39 . Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: “...it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.”
40 especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power!
A. Some experts believe your brain benefits from using pen and paper
B. Doing this on a computer means it could be edited, saved and sent
C. However, a hand-written document can reflect your devotion and sincerity
D. So, while digital skills remain important, don’t quit your pens and pencils yet
E. Handwriting has became a fashion for a small group of people in recent years
F. Others agree that handwriting may improve fine motor skills in your hands and fingers
G. And putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact

Chinese idiom is one of the priceless legacies (遗产) deeply rooted in traditional
culture, making Chinese language more 56 (power）, more functional and thus, more fascinating.
Pooling collective wisdom or “Ji Si Guang Yi”, one of Chinese 57 (idiom)，can better ensure success, reminding people to humbly listen to others’ advice 58 they make major decisions. The idea was first proposed by Zhuge Liang, 59 well-known military strategist during the Three Kingdom Period (220-280). “One who 60 (hold) office should pool the ideas and wisdom of the people and 61 (wide)draw on all well-intended and useful views,” wrote Zhuge Liang in his article, “Instructions to Subjects and Officials.”
Today, the expression 62 (develop) into an effective way to improve working efficiency and show respect for the opinions of the masses. All the opinions and ideas 63 (collect) from others can give the decision maker a more comprehensive picture of the current situation and help him or her make a correct decision.
Listening humbly to others’ opinions, especially those 64 differ from one’s own, can help one improve the initiative, wisdom and power of the masses. The method has been adopted by the Chinese people in their decision-making in daily life 65 (secure) success.

A young person who was academically excellent applied for a manager’s post in an international company. He passed the written exam with ease, and in the group interview that followed, he impressed the interviewers with wonderful remarks, passion for work, and creative plans for the company’s future. After that, this young man had to face the final interview by the company’s director.
The young man walked into the manager’s office, feeling he could conquer the whole world with just one hand. The director shook hands with the young man and noticed the excitement and pride in his eyes. He looked into the young man’s resume (简历) and saw that the young person did exceptionally well throughout his study life. With a satisfied smile, the director started questioning him.
“Did you ever obtain any scholarship in your school or college ”
”No,“ replied the young man. ”Then who paid for your education “
“My father passed away when I was three. It was my mother who paid for my tuition fees. She’s a farmer and works all day in the fields,” said the young man.
The director nodded and asked the young man to show his hands. Though confused, the young man held out his hands hesitantly, which were smooth and soft. Then the director asked if the young man had ever helped his mother with farm work. The young man said: “No, she always wanted me to focus on my academic work. Besides, she knows her work well and could do everything much faster than I could.”
Learning the reply, the director told the young man that when he returned to his home that day, he should clean his mother’s hands, and after that, he could come back and see him and report what he learned. Feeling there was a chance for him to get the job, the young man was delighted. When he returned home with a spring in his feel, he cheerfully requested his mother to let him clean her hands.
