1、重庆市第八中学校2022-2023学年高二下学期入学测试英语试题学校:_姓名:_班级:_考号:_一、阅读理解Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity.Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his e
2、xtraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9, his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his
3、parents.But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were t
4、wo different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.He still went on to win two gold medals winning each event he competed in except for one, the javelin (标枪).The javelin was the only event he didnt win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is i
5、nteresting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didnt know that he could throw it with a running start He threw it standing still and was placed second.At the Olympics, he also took part in the decathlon (十项全能运动). He finished first in
6、two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldnt be stopped and just kept on going.I think Paul Dughi said it best, “Its hard to imagine now that pro athletes get paid millions of dollars just t
7、o wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didnt matter what kind he wore.”1What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?AThe adversity Thorpe met with led to his success.BThorpes success was no guarantee of a better life.CThorpes career brought him both gains and losses.DThorpe
8、 suffered many hardships despite his success.2Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot?ATo prevent the toot from injury.BTo make the shoe fit the foot.CTo stop the shoe from being stolen.DTo show his problem-solving skills.3Which of the following words can best describe Jim Thorpe?ALoyal and enthu
9、siastic.BGenuine and creative.CTough and strong-minded.DSelfless and good-tempered.It isnt just the beauty of vast natural wonders like the Grand Canyon that can take your breath away. You can find awe in everyday things. A new research, published in the journal Emotion, found that older adults who
10、took “awe walks” felt more positive emotions in their daily lives.In the study, 52 older adults aged 60 to 90 were divided randomly into two groups. They were told to take at least one 15-minute walk each week for eight weeks. Volunteers in the “awe group” were instructed in how to inspire awe as th
11、ey walked. “We asked them to try to see the world with fresh eyesto take in new details of a leaf or flower, for example,” Sturm says. For example, one participant from the awe group wrote about “the beautiful fall colors and how the leaves were no longer crunchy(嘎吱响) underfoot because of the rain”t
12、he wonder that small children feel as they embrace their expanding world. However, people in the other group were less focused on the world around them. One participant wrote, “I thought about our vacation in Hawaii next Thursday.”In addition, participants were asked to take selfies(自拍) in the begin
13、ning, middle, and end of each walk. Researchers found that participants who took awe walks showed a “small self”, in that they filled less of their photographs with their own image and more with the background scenery. “When we feel awe, our attention shifts from focusing on ourselves to focusing on
14、 the world around us, ” Sturm says. “ Awe affects our social relationships because it helps us to feel more connected with the world, universe, and other people.”Their smiles also grew broader by the end of the study. “We analyzed the intensity of their smiles in the selfies, and participants who to
15、ok awe walks displayed greater smiles over time than those who took control walks. The former reported greater positive emotions in general, including more joy and gratitude.”Participants in the control group took more frequent walks than those people in the awe group, the researchers discovered. Bu
16、t walking more didnt result in positive changes in emotional health or in the way their selfies were taken. This suggests that the results were mainly due to experiencing awe, and not just in spending time exercising.4What were participants in the “awe group” required to do in Paragraph 2?ATo take a
17、 walk each week.BTo focus on their inner world.CTo collect leaves after the rain.DTo explore with childlike curiosity.5What can we see in the selfies from the awe walks?AClose-up images with wide smiles.BMore attention on themselves.CSimply the background scenery.DSmall figures with bigger smiles.6W
18、hat can we know from the last paragraph?AExperiencing awe counts.BMore walks, more joy.CExercises can benefit us.DAwe comes with walking.7Which of the following can be the best title?AAwe Walks Promote Your Physical FitnessBExperiencing Awe Does Wonders for EveryoneCAwe Walks Improve Your Positive E
19、motionsDFrequent Walks Contribute to Emotional HealthCan you imagine someone hunting you down with a gun? Most of us would be terrified. So, its no surprise that thats how animals respond, too.Orcas, a species that have been systematically hunted- even with machine guns-dramatically decreased in num
20、ber in the twentieth century. These so-called “killer whales” hunted the same fish that fishermen prized and were therefore seen as competition. Consequently, killer whales began avoiding certain locations and routes. But while North America largely banned their killing in the 1970s, they continue t
21、o be hunted in Greenland to this day.Elephants also have to deal with human hunters. Ivory poachers(象牙偷猎者)have greatly reduced the African elephant population, which used to cover the entire continent. The ivory trade was banned in 1990, but animal habitats and food supplies have still declined. In
22、Kenya, the human population has increased four times over the last 40 years while the elephant population declined by four-fifths.This has caused the elephants to adopt unique responses to people. For instance, elephants are terrified of the spear-waving Maasai, an ethnic group of Kenya and Tanzania
23、 who have often hurt elephants when trying to protect their own cattle.So once in an experiment by a group of zoologists, when elephants living close to the Maasai were presented with three different T-shirts, one belonging to a Maasai, another to a different local and one to a researcher, they only
24、 reacted with fear to the Maasai shirt, literally smelling the danger.However, neither elephants nor killer whales commonly show anger and hate for people. In fact, elephants are generally friendly to humans. And the only instances of killer whales harming a person occurred when the whales were kept
