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 outsnow 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 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. Which is a good place to enjoy a night scene?A. The Songhua River.    B. The IceSnow World.C. Yabuli Ski Resort.                D. The Sun Island Snow Expo. 22. What can visitors do in Harbin?A. Get professional guidance for free while skating.B. Choose different routes based on their skiing ability.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. In which column of a magazine can we find this article?A. Travel.         B. Health.       C. Entertainment          D. Business.BHave you ever imagined that your simple T-shirt could cool you down by up to 5℃ on these hot summer days? Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. While there are many alternatives that manage to keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those who are eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days.Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China，took a completely innovative approach. They designed a special textile (纺织物) that can absorb body heat and re-emit (重发出) its energy into space as mid-infrared radiation (MIR). This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a technique that is known as radiative cooling. Science reveals. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like a mirror.Research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3℃, but this previous trial was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking, and not directly facing the sky, like in their trials. They also need to examine and measure how well it works when T-shirts are no in close contact with the skin.Inventors Yaoguang and Guangming are now looking out for textile manufacturers and clothing brands that are interested in using their fabric. They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent. “We can make it with mass production, which means everybody can get a T-shirt and the cost is basically the same as their old stuff,” Yaoguang said.So if you are an athlete or simply someone that has to deal with the extremely high temperatures, be patient because your days of feeling hot and bothered may be coming to an end!24. What is the purpose of the new invention?A. To warm up people’s body.   B. To cool people off in hot weather.C. To detect the wearers’ temperature.   D. To protect clothes from becoming wet.25. How does the special product work?A. By turning sunlight into energy.   B. By sending out absorbed heat.C. By keeping heat out completely.   D. By using light colors to reflect sunlight.26. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?A. The invention needs further testing.   B. The previous studies lack evidence.C. The new fabric has a good cooling effect.  D. The new fabric applies to various situations.27. Which of the following statements can best describe the invention of the T-shirt?A. barking up the wrong tree   B. robbing Peter to pay PaulC. achieve two things at one stroke   D. putting the cart before the horseCAs Covid-19 spread through the United States in the spring of 2020, previously busy cities fell silent. A new study shows that the dip in noise in the early months of the pandemic (大流行病) led to an increased abundance of birds in cities.The flock to cities ranged “from birds like hawks and eagles all the way down to small songbirds and even hummingbirds" says Michael Schrimpf, study co-author and postdoctoral flow at the University of Manitoba's Natural Resources Institute.To see if and how birds were using now-quiet cities differently, the team of researchers analyzed more than 4.3 million bird observations of more than 80 bird species recorded on the community science app eBird. They looked at more than three years of observations taken by experienced birders before and through the first few months of the pandemic.Scientists found significant changes in birds' migration patterns and use of urban habitats (栖息地)，like bravely getting closer to usually-noisy areas like roads and airports. It was also revealed that white-crowned sparrows adapted their tune when San Francisco streets fell quiet. Bird abundance increased in cities overall, especially during spring and fall migration.North America has lost almost a third of its birds in recent decades due to a combination of factors, including climate change, predation (捕食) by stray cats, and habitat loss, so any information scientists can obtain about how to make urban environments more bird-friendly is significant. The study's authors note that one of the most remarkable findings is that many different birds benefited from a reduction in noise, which doesn't have to be limited to pandemic lockdowns."There is an opportunity to adjust how we live, " says Schrimpf. “We hope that it might be a lesson for us that we can take away in a post-pandemic world." 28. What does the underlined word “dip" in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Decrease.       B. Increase.        C. Effect.      D. Change.29. How did the researchers conduct the research?A. By observing varieties of birds in nature.B. By doing an experiment on different kinds of birds.C. By analyzing bird observations recorded by birders.D. By studying past researches on bird behavior.30. What do the findings of the study indicate?A. All birds benefited from the reduction in noise. B. The overall bird population increased worldwide during the pandemicC. Birds would often go to noisy areas like roads and airport.D. Some birds sang differently in a quieter environment.31. What message does the author want to convey in his article?A. People should slow down to appreciate birds in nature.B. People should be banned from any activities harmful to natureC. People should adjust her lifestyle to stay safe during the pandemic. D. People should reduce noise to create a better environment for birds. DThe proposal for a new Indonesian capital city has been on the cards ever since the country gained independence from the Dutch in 1945. The political and economic crises which followed have long delayed the plan, but current president, Joko Widodo, now appears determined to make the move a reality. The government officially confirmed that the capital will be moved from Jakarta to a new location within Kalimantan, part of the island of Borneo in Indonesia.A number of factors are likely to have influenced the decision to forge (艰苦做成) ahead with the move, but it seems likely that Jakarta’s environmental problems are chief among them. Built on swampy (沼泽的) ground, Jakarta is sinking, in some parts at a rate of 20cm a year. Experts predict that most of northern Jakarta could sink beneath the sea by 2050. What’s more, Jakarta is rarely mentioned without reference to its extreme levels of traffic jams and air pollution. There could be other reasons too. John McCarthy, an expert on land use in Kalimantan at the Australian National University Crawford School points to a potential desire to spread wealth throughout Indonesia. “Jakarta is the most highly developed core of Indonesia which sucks all the money and opportunities from other areas,” he says. “I think there’s logic in splitting the economic and political capital.”But the location of this new political center is proving controversial. Some environmental groups are concerned that the chosen location in East Kalimantan will increase logging and destruction of nearby forests, home to orangutans and other endangered species. Indonesia’s planning minister previously told reporters that the new capital will be a sustainable “forest city” that won’t result in the destruction of protected forest, but how exactly this would work has not yet been explained.Despite these challenges, the government is now putting its plan in motion. But even if this new capital is built, Jakarta will still need protection. Home to ten million people, the city simply can’t be neglected.32. What is the Indonesian government’s new plan?A. Building a forest city.     B. Electing a new president.C. Relocating the capital city.    D. Developing resources of Borneo.33. What may be the main reason for the government’s decision?A. To reduce land pollution.     B. To make full use of swampy ground.C. To seek better living environment.   D. To balance the economic growth between cities.34. What worries some people about the government’s choice?A. It may cost a lot of money.B. It may destroy the local ecosystem.C. It may disrupt many residents’ normal life.D. It may lead the decline of the old capital city.35. What is the suitable title for the passage?A. Move to new.     B. City built on swamp.C. Protect the Forest City.     D. Abandon the home.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。Practicing with men players is a very effective strategy for success in women’s basketball. Nevertheless, most people are surprised to learn that the leading women’s basketball college team in the United States use male practice players. Men playing on the same court as women?

They can’t receive sports scholarships, although as registered college players, they have to keep up their academic grades. However, they get lots of indoor exercise.    40   A. Unfortunately, there aren’t many.B. How do men get to be practice players?C. Men practice players receive excellent sports scholarships.D.

We took turns writingdown the sentences．“DearMiss Hanley,”we wrote, “you like Kathleen better than you like us. Thatisn’t fair.” Miss Hanley was our fourth-grade teacher. She was in her 20s, with short dark’ curly hairand lively grey eyes.Itwas her first-year teaching in our public school in the northeast Bronx.   “You’re a very talented writer,” Miss Hanley often told me. This excited me.Afew weeks into thisschool year, Lisa and I had co-authored a play based on our favorite novel, Little Women. And weperformed the play in front of the class. When the curtain came down, the applause from the studentswas light. But Miss Hanley clapped strongly, saying, “Great! Great!” Lisa and I ignored the other kids,and were high on her praise for days.    I didn’t envy Lisa's relationship with Miss Hanley. Sharing Miss Hanley was a bond between us. InMiss Hanley’s class, we behaved ourselves, although we couldn’t help comparing ourselves withKathleen, whose demeanor(风度)and dress were perfect．Kathleen lived in her family’s big house witha beautiful garden Lisa and I lived in small apartments. Her eyes were as huge as those of most filmstars.She spoke softly and politely. Her hair was waved, clean and tidy. My hair was loose and wild.Lisa and Iwore clothes that didn’t always match.I sometimes wore my sister’s hand-me-downs.Kathleen did best in her studies and of course Miss Hanley liked her. The funny thing is that I didn’tlike Kathleen and neither did Lisa. In fact we didn’t know why.    Lisa and I continued writing our note to Miss Hanley, “You call on Kathleen more than you call onus. You like her because she is agoody-goody（讨好卖乖的人）．Tha’s not fair! Just that we are notgoody-goodies does not mean you should like us less.”注意：    1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右：    2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。My heart was pounding as we left the note before class on Miss Hanley’s desk.         At three o’clock, Miss Hanley asked us to stay after class forafew minutes.                                   荆州中学2019级高三上学期期末考试英语卷参考答案1--5 BCABC  6--10 ABCAB  11--15 ACBAA  16--20 BCBCA21--23 BBA  24--27 BBAC   28--31 ACDD  32--35 CCBA36--40 GBDAF41--45 DABCA  46--50 BDBCA   51--55 BACDD56. referring   57. global  58. threatens  59. largely 60. which61. competition  62. in     63. more serious  64.

We folded it inthrees, so nobody else could see what was written. What would Miss Hanley think ofus when she sawthe note? I was sure she would be very angry and scold us. I regretted sending the note and wasterrified of Miss Hanley’s reaction. It was a long and hard day. I couldn't concentrate in class, notknowing what the teachers said at all. I kept sneaking glances at Lisa and she glanced back, lookingequally upset. Finally the moment came.At three o’clock, Miss Hanley asked us to stay after class for a few minutes. Lisa and I stoodbefore her desk. Fists clenched, I was unable to meet Miss Hanley’s eyes. “Girls,” Miss Hanley saidgently, “I have no favorites in my classroom. Each kid is unique.” Her voice was so kind. “You girls arevery different from Kathleen. I’ll tell you what I find wonderful about you—your senses ofhumor, yourimaginations and your passion for life.”My fists finally unclenched. There was room in Miss Hanley’sheart for me! I didn't need to compete with anyone else. It was a far different message—a much happierone. It was a message that Iimmediately embraced and have never forgotten.     听力部分录音材料
