That means more opportunities for her to collect after-wedding bouquets (花束) and give them to her lonely hospital 16 , many of whom dont often have visitors, let alone expensive 17 . The flowers are still in good shape, and the patients are pleased to have them. “I was so 18 that I cried,” said patient Connie Melzer, who was recovering from a heart problem when Love walked into her room with a bouquet in early 2020. Love worked at the Virginia Commonwealth University Hospital as a(n) 19 student. She wondered how she could help 20 the patients suffering besides learning how to treat them as a student doctor. “One of the 21 of being a medical student is that it can be very difficult to 22 to the care team,” said Love. “You are there as a learner, who doesnt have as much knowledge as doctors. But you want to 23 your patients. How can I at this stage in my training make a(n) 24 for them?” In 2019, she started The Simple Sunflower in Richmond, and so far has 25 more than 760 bouquets to patients. She brought fellow students and 北京市西城区 20212022 学年度第一学期期末试卷 高一英语 第 4 页(共 15 页) other people into her project, and now has more than 200 26 on the email list. When Love began the project, she called businesses such as wedding venues (场馆) and florists and asked them what events were scheduled. She then reached out to brides and grooms to ask them if they had 27 for their flowers after the big day. For each wedding, she organized a team of eight people who helped 28 the flowers when the party was over and then spent time carrying them to individual patients. People beyond the VCU community have heard about Loves project and become part of it. “Once the word got out, people around the city started 29 us,” Love said. She wanted to bring the project to more cities and maybe open branches at other medical schools. “I feel 30 when I see the patients who receive our bouquets,” she said. “It reminds me why we do what we do.” 16.

B When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the town in Manton, Michigan to shut down, Scott Chittle decided that the community needed a safe place to come together, and something to bring some joy during the boring winter months. And what is a 北京市西城区 20212022 学年度第一学期期末试卷 高一英语 第 7 页(共 15 页) better outdoor activity to get people outside in the cold than ice skating? In order to make his dream a reality, Chittle searched the Internet for videos on how to build an ice rink (溜冰场). He ordered a large 3,000 square foot tarp (防水帆布) online and bought some wood to create the walls. It took 12 fire trucks from the local fire department to get enough water to fill the plot. It took a little time as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come and see his creation, and soon Chittles backyard ice rink became a Manton hotspot. Parents joined in to help Chittle buy second-hand skates and hockey sticks for the neighborhood children. Soon enough, the children were skating and shooting. “We kept seeing more things donated. It was fantastic because the whole community just came together. It was amazing how everybody worked together because of Scott.” says neighbor Audrey Hooker. Skaters were welcome to come at any time. And each Saturday from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m., dozens of children and their parents gathered at the ice rink for skate parties. The children who had been confined to their homes for almost a year laughed and shouted with joy while skating around the rink. Parents gathered around feeling relief that their children had found a purpose again. It became a weekly event that neighbors could look forward to and it offered a place for people to see each other in a socially distanced way. But the kindness didnt stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone helped. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters sent to Chittles home stuffed with cash brought in an additional $1,500, covering all of the costs with money to spare. Companies began sending supplies for next years ice rink including outdoor lights, a snow sweeping machine and shovels. “This has been a community thing,” explains Chittle. “Its not just me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort, the best intentions, and community can do not only for others but for the souls of all.” 北京市西城区 20212022 学年度第一学期期末试卷 高一英语 第 8 页(共 15 页) 34. Why did Chittle build a backyard ice rink? A. To organize skate parties. B. To show off his creativity. C. To get some money and outdoor supplies. D. To offer a safe social place and some fun. 35. What did the parents do to help with the ice rink? A. Filled the ice rink with water. B. Raised money for Chittle. C. Bought skates and hockey sticks. D. Convinced people to come. 36. What can we learn from the passage? A. The ice rink is only open to children on Saturday. B. The whole community contributed to the ice rink. C. Chittle made much money after building the ice rink. D. The parents felt relief because Chittle took care of their children. 37. Which of the following words can best describe Scott Chittle? A. Honest and friendly. B. Careful and confident. C. Humorous and polite. D. Kind and devoted. C How Your Weekly Shop Could Help Prevent a Mass Extinction All around the world, the way in which we produce, buy and eat food has never been more similar. You may think you have more choices than your parents or grandparents ever did, and on one level that is true. Wherever you are, you can eat various foods all in a single day. What were being offered appears at first to be diverse, until you realise it is the same kind of “diversity” that is spreading around the globe in the same way; what the world buys and eats is becoming more and more the same. Of the 6,000 plant species humans have eaten over time, we now mainly grow and eat just nine. Whats less well known is that for each of the crops, were eating from a smaller number of varieties. Thousands of different wheats exist, but less than 10 make it onto the 北京市西城区 20212022 学年度第一学期期末试卷 高一英语 第 9 页(共 15 页) “recommended list” issued to British farmers. Its a similar story with the meat we eat. This relatively recent phenomenon (现象) of eating from such a narrow selection of plants and animals, and just a few varieties of these, has resulted in a serious loss of diversity in farmers fields and in our diets and a great loss of biodiversity. In the 20th century, efforts were made to produce more calories (卡路里) to feed growing populations, but in search of quantity, we gave up diversity. Crops and farm animals unique to their part of the world became endangered; some even went extinct (灭绝). When a food is lost, we risk not only losing a special flavour, but also a way of life and part of a culture. We also lose choices for the future. Faced with the growing impact of climate change and extreme weather events, we can add greater resilience (快速恢复能力) to our food system by saving diversity. But as the world farms and eats in increasingly similar ways, more foods are at risk of disappearing. We all have a part to play in preventing this from happening, wherever we are in the world, and it starts with what we put in our shopping baskets. Still unsure where to start? Focus on one of your favourite foods and start to explore it in all its diversity. Whether thats chocolate, coffee, cheese or wine, find as much variation as you can, set off on a flavour adventure and help save something from extinction. 38. According to the passage, people may believe that _. A. our choices of food are more than those of early generations B. our ways of food production are never similar to one another C. what we plant stays the same around the world D. what we eat is becoming increasingly popular 北京市西城区 20212022 学年度第一学期期末试卷 高一英语 第 10 页(共 15 页) 39. How does the writer prove his idea in Paragraph 2? A. By using data. B. By describing a scene. C. By telling a story. D. By sharing experiences. 40. According to the writer, what might be the cause of the loss of biodiversity? A. Climate. B. Business. C. Population. D. Technology. 41. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Why to start. B. Where to shop. C. What to eat. D. How to help. D If there is one place you dont want to stick your finger, its the mouth of a Pacific lingcod. These fearsome fish have around 500 needlelike teeth sticking out of jaws (颌) that are strong enough to crush crustaceans (甲壳动物). How lingcod maintain the sharpness of their terrifying teeth has long been a puzzle. But a study, published in November in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, claims that Pacific lingcod keep their teeth sharp and shiny by replacing about three percent of them every day. For a lingcod, thats up to 20 teeth replaced daily. In order to determine the frequency at which lingcod replace their teeth, Ms. Cohen, a coauthor of the new study, and her colleagues kept 20 lingcod at the University of Washingtons Friday Harbor Laboratories and tracked how many teeth they lost and regrew over several days. The fish were placed in a tank

You may think you have more choices than your parents or grandparents ever did, and on one level that is true. Wherever you are, you can eat various foods all in a single day. What were being offered appears at first to be diverse, until you realise it is the same kind of “diversity” that is spreading around the globe in the same way; what the world buys and eats is becoming more and more the same. Of the 6,000 plant species humans have eaten over time, we now mainly grow and eat just nine. Whats less well known is that for each of the crops, were eating from a smaller number of varieties. Thousands of different wheats exist, but less than 10 make it onto the 北京市西城区 20212022 学年度第一学期期末试卷 高一英语 第 9 页(共 15 页) “recommended list” issued to British farmers. Its a similar story with the meat we eat. This relatively recent phenomenon (现象) of eating from such a narrow selection of plants and animals, and just a few varieties of these, has resulted in a serious loss of diversity in farmers fields and in our diets and a great loss of biodiversity. In the 20th century, efforts were made to produce more calories (卡路里) to feed growing populations, but in search of quantity, we gave up diversity. Crops and farm animals unique to their part of the world became endangered; some even went extinct (灭绝). When a food is lost, we risk not only losing a special flavour, but also a way of life and part of a culture. We also lose choices for the future. Faced with the growing impact of climate change and extreme weather events, we can add greater resilience (快速恢复能力) to our food system by saving diversity. But as the world farms and eats in increasingly similar ways, more foods are at risk of disappearing. We all have a part to play in preventing this from happening, wherever we are in the world, and it starts with what we put in our shopping baskets. Still unsure where to start? Focus on one of your favourite foods and start to explore it in all its diversity. Whether thats chocolate, coffee, cheese or wine, find as much variation as you can, set off on a flavour adventure and help save something from extinction. 38. According to the passage, people may believe that _. A. our choices of food are more than those of early generations B. our ways of food production are never similar to one another C. what we plant stays the same around the world D. what we eat is becoming increasingly popular 北京市西城区 20212022 学年度第一学期期末试卷 高一英语 第 10 页(共 15 页) 39.

Where to shop. C. What to eat. D. How to help. D If there is one place you dont want to stick your finger, its the mouth of a Pacific lingcod. These fearsome fish have around 500 needlelike teeth sticking out of jaws (颌) that are strong enough to crush crustaceans (甲壳动物). How lingcod maintain the sharpness of their terrifying teeth has long been a puzzle. But a study, published in November in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, claims that Pacific lingcod keep their teeth sharp and shiny by replacing about three percent of them every day. For a lingcod, thats up to 20 teeth replaced daily. In order to determine the frequency at which lingcod replace their teeth, Ms. Cohen, a coauthor of the new study, and her colleagues kept 20 lingcod at the University of Washingtons Friday Harbor Laboratories and tracked how many teeth they lost and regrew over several days. The fish were placed in a tank
