School activities for students during COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing worldwide concern for elementary and secondary school student’s mental condition. The following are some possible activities that can be carried out to help them and also create a safe and healthy school environment.
John’s and Mary’s thoughts
Students are presented with a picture which says that John and Mary have different thoughts after they have heard of the coronavirus. Then students are invited to guess and write the characters’ thoughts on the picture. This activity uses a “projective” method, as students are not asked what their feelings are, but instead, they project their feelings onto the characters.
When I’m worried
After talking about what the characters may think, students can now turn their attention to themselves. They are asked to list their common worries, but most importantly, they are directed to think about some response measures and the helpful relationships they can rely on. This is a vital exercise, for it shifts students’ focus from their worries to the coping strategies.
Seeking a balance
Students are asked to provide three key recommendations to prevent infection. Teachers can pick out the positive behavior and correct any incorrect suggestions. It’s also important to strike a balance between the recommended healthy behavior and the concept that microorganisms are a natural part of the environment and that many of them play a key role in sustaining human life.
Videos to know and understand viruses
It is advisable to plan science lessons on microorganisms. Students can know more about the pandemic by studying microbial (微生物的) life, and thus they can understand what viruses are and how they spread. But be careful not to bring anxiety and avoid talking about scary messages.
1. Which activity requires students to express their feelings indirectly
A. Seeking a balance. B. When I’m worried.
C. John’s and Mary’s thoughts. D. Videos to know and understand viruses.
2. Why is the second activity important
A. It puts students at ease.
B. It enables students to share experiences.
C. It directs students’ attention to the solutions.
D. It helps students to establish good relationships.
3. What can students learn in both the third and the last activities
A. Knowledge about microorganisms. B. Suggestions on preventing infection.
C. Positive ways to stay healthy. D. The concept of science.
B
A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.
The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups — porcelain(瓷), plastic, glass — telling them to help themselves to the coffee. Meanwhile the professor stood nearby watching.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “If you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. It is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, which is the source of your problems and stress.”
“Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.”
“Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of the life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor(品味) the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead.”
After listening to his words, the students tasted coffee carefully and found it more delicious than ever.
4. Why did the professor take out various cups with a large pot of coffee
A. To show his wealth. B. To tell students the philosophy of life.
C. To offer more choices to students. D. To match different coffee tastes.
5. According to the professor, what is the source of the students’ problems and stress
A. Looking for good jobs. B. Searching for nice companions.
C. Buying a big house. D. Pursuing perfection.
6. Why did students eye each other’s cups
A. To make sure their own cups were better.
B. Only to talk about their coffee.
C. To intend to have others’ cups.
D. To exchange their coffee with others.
7. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. Coffee is the best. B. Cups are nothing.
C. Learn to enjoy your life. D. The appearance is everything.
C
Mothers who angrily tell off their children when they step out of line may be making behavior problems worse, according to a study. The study by the London School of Economics (LSE) found that too much shouting and giving severe punishments were producing an opposite result. Ignoring naughty children also appeared to lead to a decrease in discipline standards.
Researchers said that “reasoning with children” was more likely to have a positive impact on their behavior at a young age. But the study warned that it was difficult to determine a direct link between one parenting style and its outcomes because of the effect of other causes.
The latest study was based on an analysis of almost 19,000 children. Data was collected from parents just before their children’s first birthdays, and then when they turned three, five and seven. The study, led by Dr Laure De Preux, assessed the impact of various parenting styles on children.
Researchers said, “Particularly excessive (过度的) shouting, punishing or ignoring a naughty child increases his behavior problems, and only reasoning doesn’t negatively impact the child’s behavior.” But the study also showed that a large number of other things such as economic conditions also impacted on children’s development. The result suggested that wealthier families were able to create a whole environment that clearly benefited the child beyond simple effect of parenting. It said children in poor households in particular were affected by their mother’s parenting styles. “In this group, behavior problems are reduced when mothers read to the naughty children, and increased when mothers shout at them, take treats away, or ignore them,” it said.
It is the latest in a line of recent studies to assess the link between parenting and children’s behavior. Two years ago, a report commissioned(委托)by the Department for Education found that severe and inconsistent discipline in the home was bringing up a generation of young children with anger management problems, poor attention and low levels of learning ability.
8. The underlined part “step out of line” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A. lose confidence B. behave badly C. become excited D. achieve success
9. Which may help solve children's behavior problems
A. Punishing them lightly. B. Talking with them reasonably.
C . Ignoring them once in a while. D. Exercising strict discipline over them.
10. What did the research focus on
A. How mothers looked at their parenting role.
B. Why many children had behavior problems.
C. How parenting styles affected children's development.
D. Why parents gave their children severe punishments.
11. What do we learn about the report in the last paragraph
A. Its findings go against those of the LSE's study.
B. Its subject is similar to that of the LSE's study.
C. It shows the benefits of strict discipline.
D. It has discovered new problems of children
D
Online eating shows, or mukbang(吃播), originating in South Korea have gained popularity globally.
Many hosts of such shows have become popular for their ability to eat large amounts of food. But these shows have also received criticism for their waste of food. While some hosts actually do consume the amount of food shown, others may be faking it.
On 12 Aug, CCTV exposed several Chinese hosts who were pretending to eat large amounts of food while on camera, but actually later threw it away.
To discourage this practice, many video and live streaming platforms, including TikTok, Kuaishou and Bilibili, have removed videos that show food waste, and have promoted the message to “stop food waste and eat reasonably”.
In June 2020, the United Nations warned that the world is on the verge of the worst food crisis in 50 years.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, about a third of the world’s food—1.3 billion tons—is wasted every year. In China alone, 50 million tons of food end up in landfills every year, according to Beijing News.
Recently, campaigns against food waste have been further promoted. In August, President Xi Jinping stressed the need for safeguarding food security and stopping food waste.
According to China Daily, restaurants and catering associations in more than18 provinces and all 4 municipalities have issued guidelines to control food waste.
In Shanxi Province, local restaurants have been asked to serve half-portions to avoid waste. The Wuhan Catering Association proposed that restaurants adopt the “N-1 mode”. For example, a group of 10 diners should only order food enough for nine people first. More food is only brought to the table if required.
In addition, a nationwide “Clear Your Plate” campaign has been launched online. Users of Sina Weibo are encouraged to share photos or videos of empty plates after finishing their meals.
Meanwhile, new laws are also being considered, according to China Daily. “We will make new laws that give clear instructions to avoid food waste,” said Zhang Guilong from the Constitution and Law Committee of the National People's Congress. The instructions will be detailed in annual food production, purchasing, storage, transport, processing and consumption, according to Zhang.
12. What is CCTV’s attitude towards the food waste in online eating shows
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Unclear.
13. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A. Most video media are contributing to stopping food waste.
B. We should eat up all the food on the table.
C. It’s hard to carry out the “Clear Your Plate” campaign.
D. All the videos that show food waste have been removed.
14. What can we do to avoid food waste
A. We can adopt the “N+1 mode”.
B. We can eat more food than we need.
C. We can choose not to watch online eating shows.
D. We can ask the restaurants to serve us half-portions.
15. What’s the passage mainly about
A. Online eating shows should be banned.
B. New laws should be made to avoid food waste.
C. Measures are being taken to stop food waste.
D. We should share photos or videos of empty plates.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写第一自然段。（注意：只需要续写第一自然段，不用写第二自然段。）
One day in 2001, when I was eight years old, my family and I were coming back from a baseball game, which was our usual weekend adventure. But unlike other weekends, a surprise was waiting for us. Two adult wild geese and a small wild goose were wandering around our yard. The adults were frightened by us and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn’t follow.
It was freezing cold when night fell. Concerned about the wild goose’s safety, we begged dad to protect the little guy. Dad took the tiny little thing to the back porch (门廊) to keep warm and protect him from wild animals. The small wild goose seemed in a panic, unaware of what could happen. The next morning, we try to drive the wild goose over to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn’t go to them, and they wouldn’t come close to take him. We kept this up for six days, but no luck. By then, the young wild goose had clearly decided we were his new family. My sister Anna called the little guy Peeper, because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping noise, nonstop. Every time we called his name, he would respond. We also decided that Peeper was a boy, I don’t know why; it just felt right.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months until almost a year passed. Peeper liked to sleep on our back porch each night, and every day my dad would clean up all the goose droppings (鸟兽的粪便) carefully. Dad would throw Peeper up into the air so he could fly a circle around the house, coming back again once the porch was clean. But this time, Peeper just flew off.
Paragraph 1：
Everyone was very, very sad. We looked for him for days, calling his name, but he didn’t come back.
Paragraph 2：（注意：第二自然段不用写）
At first, I assumed it was just another wild goose.龙川县2022-2023学年度第一学期高二年级英语期末考试答案

Dear Miss Anna,
Learning on the Internet that you offer professional help to students online with oral English, I am writing to seek help from you.
During the past years, my interest has never failed to spark my passion for learning English, as a result of which I’ve acquired a basic knowledge of grammatical usage and practical writing skills. Nevertheless, what troubles me most is that I lack confidence to strike up a conversation due to my terrible oral English. Thus, I wonder whether you could assist me in improving the fluency of my spoken English, which is of vital importance to me for English will be my major in university.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some constructive advice and I'm looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1: Everyone was very, very sad. We looked for him for days, calling his name, but he didn’t come back. Aware of the fact that Peeper did fly away, I felt my eyes misty and a lump in my throat. Anna tugged at my sleeve(拽着我的袖子) and sobbed silently. Catching sight of us feeling depressed, Dad flashed a smile(笑了笑), stroked our heads and murmured, “Peeper has grown up and he may have gone to find his parents. Shouldn’t we be delighted for their family reunion ” Anna and I exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement. Days ticking by, on a sunny morning, an adult wild goose landed on our porch, flapping its wings and combing its feather under the sunshine.
Paragraph 2：At first, I assumed it was just another wild goose. Later, a surge of curiosity and hope welling up, I yelled out instinctively(凭直觉地) , "Peeper!”. To my amazement, he made a quick response and flew over to me. Grinning from ear to ear(笑得合不拢嘴), I sprung to my feet and couldn't t resist screaming, “Peeper is back!” No sooner had my family heard my voice than they dashed out of the house, Upon seeing Peeper, Anna greeted him with a bear hug, exclaiming “Nice to see you again!”. Peeper’s returning after such a long time made me realize that animals’ attachment to humans is far stronger than we think.
