Thomas is an African American scientist and inventor best known for her patented (专利的) illusion transmitter (幻觉发射器) and contributions to NASA research.Thomas was born in 1943 in Maryland. She was interested in science as a child. At the age of eight, her curiosity about how things worked inspired her to borrow a book called The Boy's First Book of Radio and Electronics, which she took home hoping her father would help her take on some projects in it. However, he didn't help her.She attended an all-girls high school that did not help her with hands on projects either. But this changed in college, when Thomas was admitted to Morgan State University as one of the only two women in her class to major in physics. Thomas excelled in her studies. She graduated with excellent results and accepted a position as a data analyst at NASA.In the 1970s, she managed the development of the image-processing systems for Landsat, the first satellite (人造卫星) to send images to the Earth from space. In 1980, Thomas received a patent for an illusion transmitter. The device produces optical illusion images by means of two concave mirrors (凹面镜). Unlike flat mirrors, which produce images that appear to be inside, or behind the mirror, concave mirrors create images that appear to be real, or in front of the mirror itself. This technology was later used by NASA and has since been adapted for use in surgery (外科手术) as well as the production of television and video screens.Thomas continued to work for NASA until her retirement in 1995. Over the course of her career, Thomas contributed widely to the study of space. She helped develop computer program designs that supported research on Halley's Comet, the ozone layer, and satellite technology. For her achievements, Thomas received a number of NASA awards including the Goddard Space Flight Center Award of Merit and the NASA Equal Opportunity Medal.21. What do we know about Thomas' early life?A. She was talented in science.B. She liked working with her father.C. She lacked support for her interest.D. She preferred to read boys' books.22. What does the underlined phrase “excelled in” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Did well in.    B. Had confidence in.C. Was curious about.  D. Was concerned with.23. What is the advantage of Thomas' invention over flat mirrors?A. It takes pictures more clearly.B. It transmits images more quickly.C. It changes the position of the image.D. It can send images to the Earth from space.24. What does the last paragraph focus on?A. Thomas' future plans.   B. Thomas' retirement life.C. Thomas' research theory.  D. Thomas' lifetime achievements.BA study of almost 2,700 children aged between seven and ten in 38 schools in Barceiona, Spain, first researches the impact of traffic noise on child cognitive (认知的) development over time.The children in the study are in a critical stage for the development of memory and attention skill, which are essential to learning. The research found that children exposed to about three times more traffic in the street than other children had memory development that was 23% slower and attention ability development 5% slower over a year.Noise is the second most damaging environmental factor to health, after air pollution, and, for example, was already known to increase heart attacks in adults. The UN said that urban noise pollution was growing into a global public health threat, leading to 12,000 early deaths a year in the EU alone and affecting many cities.But research on the impact of road noise on children was limited until now. “We do not know that noise can actually be toxic (有害的) from a physical point of view,” said Dr. Maria Foraster, from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, who led the study. “We think that we adapt to it, but research has shown that we don't completely—we still have a physiological (生理的) response.The research revealed that peaks of noise heard inside the classroom, such as the passing of loud trucks, had more impact than a higher average level of noise. It also found higher noise levels at school were more damaging than at home.Prof. Iroise Dumontheil, at Birkbeck, University of London, UK, said, “This carefully designed study provides convincing evidence. Considering that many European children living in large cities are exposed to high road-traffic noise levels, this study has implications for public policy to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.”The research follows previous work that showed higher levels of aircraft noise at school affected reading comprehension and cognitive development. Next, the authors said, they would like to see their findings replicated (复制) in different cities and towns, where schools may bebuilt differently and windows opened more or less often.25. What can we learn from Maria Foraster's words?A. We are troubled by nose.B. We lack confidence in her study.C. We try hard to adapt to noise.D. We aren't fully aware of the harm of noise to humans.26. What is Iroise Dumontheil's attitude towards the study?A. Curious.   B. Favorable.C. Cautious    D. Unsatisfied.27. What might the research team focus on next?A. Finding solutions to reducing noise.B. Helping students to realize the impact of noise.C. Confirming their findings in different areas.D. Studying the differences between various noises.28. What is the best title for the text?A. Policies on traffic noise should be improvedB. Traffic noise slows children's memory developmentC. Traffic noise has a growing impact on people's healthD. Attention should be paid to the environment around schoolsCI've been giving lots of thought recently to the teaching of the science subject at schools. I'm wondering whether spending more time learning how we “do” science---the scientific method---is more valuable than simply making children memorize scientific “facts”.After all, science isn't a collection of facts about the world. That's just called “knowledge”. Rather, science is a process of thinking and making sense of the world, which will then lead to new knowledge. We've often heard it said that we should be teaching children not what to think but how to think. However, schools now spend so much of the science subject loading up children's brains with “knowledge”.Surely, everyone needs a basic scientific understanding. We all need to know some science: facts about the world to help us make informed decisions about important issues that face us all in our everyday lives, from the risks of smoking to the benefits of exercising or why recycling our waste is good for the planet.Yet what seems to be missing today is an understanding of the way we gain this scientific understanding of the world. Nowadays, social media has played a significant role in spreading information. However, many people use it as a medium for spreading disinformation or harmful opinions. But social media has only enlarged the societal problem that has been with us.On top of this, our attention spans (时长) are naturally getting shorter, and we don't take the time to question our views, or ask whether the information we are getting is reliable. This is where thinking scientifically can help. Adopting some of the ways that good science is practiced can help us to critically assess what we believe, question our own views before we attack views we don't like, and so on.This is exactly why we should be teaching more of scientific methods in schools. This remarkable way of seeing, thinking and knowing, is one of humankind's great riches and the birthright of everyone. And, most wonderfully, it only grows in quality and value the more widely it is shared.29. What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 1?A. Students' disinterest in the science subject.B. The teaching content of the science subject.C. The teaching topics of the science subject.D. The lack of emphasis on science in schools.30. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The application of science in daily lives.B. The approach to knowing scientific facts.C. Some scientific phenomena in daily lives.D. The understanding of science in daily lives.31. What does the underlined part "the societal problem" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The popularity of social media.B. The spread of false information.C. The misunderstanding of science.D. The negative impact of social media.32. What can students get from learning scientific methods?A. Growing interest in science.B. Improved attention in class.C. The ability to think critically.D. The deeper understanding of science.第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Self-worth is defined as the level of importance you place on yourself.    33    Everything we think about, all the emotions we feel, and even the way we act is a product of self-worth.

It was my summer vacation of fifty years ago. And I was spending my summer vacation at the house of my cousin, Jim, who lived in a village. Beside the village, there was a forest. My other cousins also came with me to spend their summer vacation.It was a dark and a little bit cool evening. One of my cousins suggested we go outside to watch the stars; we all nodded excitedly. Then, we told our wish to Jim's parents, who agreed but warned us to return home before 9 p.m. And they gave Jim a watch, telling him to pay attention to the time. It was just 7:30 p.m.Wishing to have a fun journey outdoors, we happily set off, and started from the fields, each with a flashlight in hand. At first we just wanted to go around and appreciate the beautiful sky decorated with many stars. But later we decided to go further. All we thought about was walking and talking. We ignored the most important thing---a big forest was beyond the village.It was unfortunate that we went into the forest and got lost. When we found we were lost, it was too late to find the original way back to the village. We were all scared. There were terrible wolves and wild pigs hanging around in the forest at night. What if we came across one? How much we hoped we could meet a hunter who could lead us home!I took hold of Jim's hand firmly (牢固地). The strong wind blew against my face all the time. It whispered through the trees. What was worse, the fog arose and quickly became thick. It made us lose the sense of direction totally. We stopped walking, not knowing which way to go next. Terrible fear came to my mind and made my body shake out of control.But we didn't want to just stay there and wait for death. We decided to make our way out of the forest.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式作答。Paragraph lThen, we started walking again.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2Just when the wolf was about to attack us, a hunter appeared before us.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________   江苏省泰州中学2022——2023学年度第二学期期中考试高一英语参考答案第一部分：听力（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）1-5 BCCBB 6-10 ACBAA 11-15 BACAB 16-20 CAACC第二部分：阅读（共两小节，满分50分）第一节（共12小题，每小题2.5分，满分30分）21-24 CACD 25-28 DBCB 29-32 BDBC第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）33-37 GDEBC第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分37.5分）第一节 完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题1分，满分15分）38-42 DADBC 43-47 BCDAB 48-52 CCABD第二节 语法填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15分）53.original 56.frequently 57.has been recorded 58.kept 59.to 60.popularity 61.a 54.featuring 55.where 62.to give第三节 根据首字母或中文提示完成句子。（共15小题；每小题0.5分，满分7.5分）63.extinction 64.agricultural 65.applicants 66.economically 67.Varieties68.profits 69.sufficient 70.injured 71.responsible 72.referring73.occurred 74.consequence 75.destructive 76.involving 77.majority第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节（满分 15 分）Dear schoolmates,As the smog frequently hits our city, the importance of protecting environment can never be ignored. Now I appeal to you to start from now.The first thing we can do is to reduce waste as possible as we can. Buying things more than we can use is not a good habit. Besides, it is necessary to turn off the light when we leave the classroom. Finally, it would be better if we walk or ride to school, which not only reduce the traffic pressure but also reduce the harmful gases.Let's join our hands and take action immediately in an environmentally friendly way. Only in this way can we make the world a better place to live in.The Students' Union第二节（满分 25 分）Then, we started walking again. Not speaking a single word, we silently and quietly moved towards the unknown world. With each holding a big stick, we opened our eyes wide, observing whether there were terrible animals around. And every few minutes, we looked around at each other just to ensure none fell behind. Suddenly, I heard something moving in the bushes nearby. My legs were shaking. Soon a wolf jumped out from the bushes, staring at us greedily.Just when the wolf was about to attack us, a hunter appeared before us. He quickly took out his can of bear spray and fired the spray at the wolf. The wolf was scared and immediately escaped. We were saved, and breathed a big sigh of relief. We expressed thanks to the hunter who then began leading us home. Before long, we found a lot of light from flashlights. It was the villagers, who came to look for us. We learned a big lesson that night.听力原文Text 1M: Would you like more meat, Jen? (1)W: No, thank you. It's too much for me.
