Here are several activities that have to be included.Turning water into instant iceOne can’t go to the Ice-Snow World without stopping by the Sun Island Snow Expo. After all, the former is for appreciating illuminated(照亮的)ice at night, and the latter is for checking out snow in the daytime. Tourists from the south might be astonished by the bright sunshine reflected in the snow, so don’t forget the sunscreen.This is also a good place to toss(抛)water and watch it turn into ice instantly. Find a safe place with no one nearby, and enjoy the unique phenomenon.Snow tubing(雪地滑轮胎)on the Songhua RiverIn winter, the Songhua River turns into “thousands of miles of ice” and becomes a natural ice-skating rink. The frozen river offers opportunities for many different winter activities. But make sure the ice is solid before going stomping(跺脚) in the snow.Speeding down Yabuli Ski ResortOne place you shouldn’t miss when visiting Harbin is Yabuli Ski Resort, where you can ski down splendid snow-covered mountains. The snow is thick and moderately hard. There are junior, middle and senior ski runs. Professional staff are available to improve your skiing ability.21．If you want to enjoy a night scene, which is the best choice?A．The Songhua River.                         B．The Ice-Snow World.C．Yabuli Ski Resort.                          D．The Sun Island Snow Expo.22．What can visitors do in Harbin?A．Choose different routes based on their skiing ability.B．Get professional guidance for free while skating.C．Go down the world’s longest ice slide on Songhua River.D．Toss water and watch it turn into ice wherever you want.23．What does the passage serve as?A．An announcement.                          B．An application.C．An introduction.                            D．An advertisement.BLong before he became “Chief Twit” of Twitter, Elon Musk had a different obsession: making Teslas drive themselves. Musk has described the Tesla “Full Self-Driving” technology as “the difference between Tesla being worth a lot of money and being worth basically zero,” but his dream of autonomous cars is hitting roadblocks.In recent weeks, Tesla has recalled and suspended the rollout (推出) of the technology to eligible（具备条件的，合格的）vehicles for fear that its cars could disobey the speed limit and blow through stop signs. Customer complaints have been piling up, including a lawsuit filed in federal court last month claiming that Musk has overstated the technology’s capabilities. And regulators and government officials are scrutinizing Tesla’s system and its past claims as evidence of safety problems mounts.In interviews, former tesla employees who worked on Tesla’s driver-assistance software attributed the company’s troubles to the rapid pace of development, costcutting measures like Musk’s decision to eliminate radar — which strayed from industry practice — and other problems unique to Tesla. They said Musk’s erratic leadership style also played a role, forcing them to work at a breakneck pace to develop the technology and to push it out to the public before it was ready. Some said they are worried that, even today, the software is not safe to be used on public roads.Meanwhile, Musk pulled dozens of Tesla engineers to work with code at twitter, the struggling social media platform Musk purchased with fanfare last fall. Earlier this month, after tesla failed to announce a big new product on investor day, the company’s stock sank 6 percent. Musk has defended the company’s actions as long-term bets, with the prospect of unlocking tremendous value, and Tesla has said vehicles in full self-driving crash at a rate at least five times less than vehicles driving normally. But the story of full Self-driving offers a vivid example of how the world’s richest person has complicated one of his biggest bets through rash decision-making, a stubborn insistence on doing things differently, and unyielding confidence in a vision that has yet to be proven.24.Why does the author quote Musk in paragraph one?A. To indicate that he is unsatisfied with the current situationB. To show that he attaches significance to self-driving C. To argue that his obsession is not realistic at allD. To introduce his amount of wealth before he became “Chief Twit”25. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 2 ? A. Apply             B. Research            C. Increase       D. Stop 26. Which of the following statements is wrong about Tesla?A. Musk removed radar in order to cut costB. The technology was far from mature when it was applied C. Musk made dozens of Tesla engineers to work day and night to purchase TwitterD. Musk pushed employees to work at a very fast and dangerous pace to develop the technology27. What’s the author’s attitude towards Musk’s leadership? A. Approving                             B. Doubtful            C. Cautious                               D. IndifferentCClothes and covers made of a smart fabric that gives off heat and reflects light could help people and objects that are out in the sun stay several degrees cooler.Guangming Tao at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China, and his colleagues developed what they call a “metafabric” (超材料织物) by combining microscopic beads (微珠) and fibres, a chemical substance and a type of plastic, all mixed within larger fibres.In one test, a volunteer wearing a vest made half of the metafabric and half of cotton sat in a direct sunlight for an hour. The skin temperature under the metafabric rose from around 31°C to 32 °C over that time, while the skin under the cotton rose to around 37°C.In another test, one car was covered with the metafabric, another with a shop-bought cover and a third was left uncovered. When left in the sun from 11 am to 1 pm, the temperature rose to 60°C in the uncovered car, 57°C in the car with the standard cover and 30°C in the one with the metafabric.The metafabric is most effective when in contact with the skin. The researchers are focusing on cooling people and objects exposed to direct sunlight, but there would still be a cooling effect in the shade. The team has also developed other cooling fabrics that work in a different way. Instead of blocking infrared (红外线), they are transparent to it. One of the main ways that our bodies lose heat is by giving out infrared, so these fabrics could help keep you cool indoors.28. How do the researchers prove the effectiveness of the smart fabric?A. By listing figures .                      B. By comparison. C. By listing examples.                  D. By analyzing causes.29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.The car which is covered with the metafabric remains 30 °C in the sun.B. The standard cover is made of the smart fabric-metafabric.C. Guangming Tao discovered a new fabric named “metafabric”.D. The skin temperature under the cotton rose by around 6 °C in one hour.30. When may the metafabric not be effective according to the text?A. When it is in the shade.                  B. When it is in contact with the skin.C. When it is in direct sunlight.              D. When it is inside the house.31. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text?A. How to Be Cooler in the Sun. B. A Smart Fabric to Be Developed.C. Fabric Actively Helps to Keep Wearer Cooler.D. Metafabric, Symbol of a Green Lifestyle. DWater poisoning is caused by too much consumption of water during a short period of time. Water in and of itself is not poisonous by any means, but rapid intake of a large quantity of water can break the careful balance of sodium(钠)in the body fluids(体液). This contributes to a swelling of the cells, often in the central nervous system, including the brain.When the cells can no longer bear the pressure, they can begin to die. This is indicated in serious forms of water poisoning. Symptoms of this condition include vomiting, headache and unresponsiveness. When the sodium in the blood falls to dangerous levels, brain damage and possibly death may occur.What is a fatal(致命的)amount of water can vary from person to person, depending on one’s state of health, his or her physical activity at the time, the temperature and the amount of time in which the person consumes the water. For some, a one-time consumption of three liters can prove deadly. Although the person consuming the water may lose a lot of fluid during heavy labor or exercise, the electrolytes(电解质)are not replaced fast enough to avoid water poisoning.Those particularly at risk for water poisoning are athletes engaged in long distance running like a marathon. Due to the need to replace large quantities of lost fluid, runners must drink a lot of water. This can lead to poisoning, so runners must replace their fluids with sports drinks that have added electrolytes. Other factors that contribute to water poisoning include activities that stimulate heavy sweating. The person working under extreme heat or intense humidity(湿气)must be careful when consuming water in order to maintain electrolyte balance. Mental diseases can also lead to water poisoning. Psychogenic polydipsia is a condition in which the affected person feels a need to drink a lot of water for unknown reasons.32．What harm does water poisoning bring?A．It disturbs the balance of sodium  B．It causes a drop in blood pressure. C．It can affect brain function.              D．It tends to make its victims nervous.33．What can we know about proper amount of water to drink?A．No single rule fits everyone.  B. Three liters per day is deadly.C．It doesn’t bother healthy people.  D．Physical activity is its decisive factor.34．Who would probably fall victim to water poisoning?A．A patient suffering from stomachache.     B．A laborer working with heavy sweatingC．An athlete fond of drinking sports drinks.   D．A teenager doing appropriate exercise daily. 35．What might be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A．What has been found about sports drinks.   B．What else contributes to water poisoning.C．What are the symptoms of water poisoning.  D．What can be done to avoid water poisoning.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Israeli Company Develops 3D Printed BeefIf there were an award for the funniest company name of 2022, then the 3D printed meat company “Steakholder” would win that award.Israeli company Steakholder Foods Ltd. has introduced its new product, Omakase Beef Morsels, which are bioprinted with cultured meat.

The company has already achieved several milestones since it was founded.B. Its goal is to create sustainable meat products to replace meats such as beef, chicken and even fish.C. The layers of meat and fat can be regrouped in different proportions to create different flavor experiences.D.

I had gone out to visit my friend living in another county, but unfortunately I got stuck and was unable to drive further. I fully realized how dangerous this would be as there was not enough gas left in the truck for me to get through the deadly snowstorm. The situation got even worse in such a place without any houses in sight. I stayed in my truck, calling for help anxiously but the weak signal didn’t help me get connected. There was nothing I could do but wait. At midnight, there came a knock outside the truck. I opened the door and surprisingly found an old lady standing in the storm with just a thin coat, clearly not enough to survive the snowstorm. I invited her to get inside my truck at once. She told me in a weak voice that her name was Mary and her car broke down. She had walked a long way before finding my truck. Misfortune never came alone. Soon, we realized the air conditioner burned all the fuel in my truck and it was getting colder and colder inside the truck. Mary closed her eyes without saying a word, shaking in the corner. Considering Mary’s condition, I decided to take action right now. Luckily, the GPS of my truck still worked. And with the help of GPS, I noticed that a school was nearby. I decided to take shelter in the school. Since Mary was too weak to move, I carried her on my back, heading to the school. After ten minutes’ struggle in the snow, we finally arrived, but found the school gate locked. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右;2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。I hesitated about what I should do. ___________________________________________The next morning, a policeman drove by and found the gate broken. _______________                2021级高二年级下学期学情检测调研考试英语参考答案第一部分：听力（共两节20题  满分30分 每题1.5分）1-5 BCACB   6-10 BABAC  11-15 CBABC     16-20ACABC第二部分  阅读（共两节 满分50分）第一节 （共15题 满分37.5分 每题2.5分）21-23 BAC  24-27 BDCB  28-31 BDDC  32-35 CABD     第二节  七选五（共5题 满分12.5分 每题2.5分）36-40 BCGFA 第三部分  语言知识（共两节 满分30分）第一节  完形填空（共15题 满分15分 每题1分）41-45 AABAD  46-50 BDABC  51-55 CDABC第二节  语法填空（共10题 满分15分 每题1.5分）56.which  57. or   58. to reduce   59. compared    60. slightly  61. salty  62. guidance    63. providing  64. would sharpen  65. on第四部分  写作 （共两节 满分40分）第一节  应用文（15分）Dear Jack,I'm writing to apply for an English editor of our school English newspaper.I'm qualified for the position for the following reasons.

I had no choice but to find a way to break into the school. Fortunately, with the help of a snow shovel lying next to the gate, I managed to make it. I found the nearest classroom and laid Mary on one of the benches. I also found a pile of unused blankets and used them to wrap Mary up. I felt satisfied that I had done everything that I could to help her.He came in to investigate. When he entered the classroom, he found me and Mary still asleep, wrapped in blankets. He woke us up and asked if we needed any help. I gratefully accepted his offer to drive us to the nearest gas station. I filled up my truck and made sure it had enough fuel to get me to my destination safely. As I waved goodbye to the policeman, I couldn’t help but think about how lucky I was to have Mary’s unexpected appearance that night. Without her, I might not have been able to survive the dangerous snowstorm.
