高二英语上学期期中专项突破—七选五 （新高考全国 Ⅱ卷）（含解析）
（2022秋·辽宁鞍山·高二岫岩高中校考期中）In many people’s eyes, plants are quiet and passive. They can’t talk. They can’t walk. 1 .
Or can they A new BBC documentary series, The Green Planet, gives us a new look at plants. Released on January 10 on Bilibili, it uncovers the wonderful and dramatic ways that plants behave.
Plants compete against each other to live. Each species has its own ways of defense. In rainforests, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield” in the series as only two percent of the sunlight filters (透过) through it. 2 . But they are caught up in a vine (藤蔓) that tries to take a ride. Finally, they are both overtaken by a fast-growing balsa tree. As the balsa’s leaves are smooth, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees make poisonous sap (毒汁) to protect themselves.
3 . In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works. 4 .
The series not only lets us wonder at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “ 5 . We depend upon them for every mouth of food that we eat and every breath that we breathe,” said David Attenborough, presenter of the series. It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.

But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get these benefits. 21 And the more you do it, the better. Here are some tips to help you kick—start your creative art habit. Don’t require yourself to have great skills. In fact, there are no differences in health outcomes between those who are identified as experienced in art and those who aren’t. 22
Figure out your mode of creative expression. There are many choices available: painting, cooking, baking, woodworking, sewing—the sky is the limit. 23 Anything that sets off your creative mind is good for you. And don’t feel like you have to stick to one thing. Mix it up—do whatever you’re in the mood for.
24 Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part. Let yourself get lost in the process and just play. It’s the physical act of making art that causes those feelings of stress relief and positive spirit, not what you make. So, you don’t even need to finish what you’re making to feel those health benefits.
Think about making art like any healthy habit. Just as you make time to exercise and hang out with friends, you should make time for your artistic creation. You don’t even need a few hours. Doing just 10 minutes of art each day can do wonders. 25 You could set up a corner table for your art supplies. If space is an issue, put them all in a container that’s easily accessible.
A．Keep an open mind.
B．Improve yourself with regular practice.
C．Focus on the making and let go of expectations.

（2022秋·辽宁·高二校联考期中）While rap (说唱音乐) songs are made up of many parts, the verse (主歌部分) is by far the most important. 26 . Writing rap verses is an incredible method of artistic expression, as long as you keep a few tips in mind.
Begin by free-writing lines about your topic. Using your topic as a launching point, start writing out lines of your thoughts, trying to rhyme (押韵) the last words in each line. Once you’ve exhausted a set of rhymes, start another one and write lines until you run out of ideas. Explore ideas around your topic until you find the ones you enjoy or know best. 27 — this first stage is used to create material to build your verse out of.
Build a rhyme scheme (格式) around your favorite lines. A rhyme scheme is a pattern that give your verse structure. 28 . If, for example, you rhyme the first two lines with the word “me”, then the next two lines rhyme with the word “you”, then you have rhyming couplets. For the rest of the verse, you would usually use couplets in all of your rhymes.
Start with a powerful line. The first lines of your verse should introduce the verse and capture the listener’s attention. Ask a question, make an interesting metaphor, or blow the listener away with skillful wordplay. 29 .
Develop a flow, or rhythm, to your rap. Once you’ve got your words on the page, you need to figure out how to say them. Flow is how a rapper delivers his/her lyrics in along with the beat. Listen again to the beat you are rapping over and practice fitting your lyrics to it.
30 . As you practice your flow, don’t be afraid to go back and rewrite your verse so that it fits the beat better. If you are having trouble fitting all the words in, find a way to shorten your lines. Once you know what the chorus is, you can adjust your lyrics to fit the song better.
A．Get to know your beat well
B．Rewrite your verse to fit the beat
C．Most rappers have mixed rhyme schemes
D．Don’t worry just yet about making your lines perfect
E．You can think of it as a blueprint of which lines need to rhyme with
F．Anything to introduce the verse and make yourself stand out will be OK
G．That’s because it is where a rapper develops the ideas of the song in depth

（2022秋·辽宁葫芦岛·高二校联考期中）Many people find it hard to say no, even when they are over-stressed, over-booked and just too busy to take on anything else. 36 . But it’s important to learn how to say no to people and their requests. Being unable can contribute to more stress, which may eventually turn to resentment (怨恨).
37 . This article discusses some strategies you can use to set boundaries, protect your personal time and say no more often.
I’m sorry – I can’t do this right now
Sometimes, it helps to wait and think about whether you can take on a commitment. It’s usually best not to rush into things. 38 . Most reasonable people will accept this as an answer, so if someone keeps pressuring you, they’re being rude.
Let me think about it
If you’re uncomfortable being firm or are dealing with pushy people, it’s OK to say, “Let me think about it and get back to you.” 39 .
This strategy also allows you to think about whether you want to say “yes” to another commitment. To decide, do a cost-benefit analysis and then get back to them with a yes or no.
40
If you would really like to do what they’re requesting, but don’t have the time, it’s fine to say no to all or part of the request but mention a lesser commitment that you can make. This way you’ll still be partially involved, but it will be on your own terms.

（2022秋·海南海口·高二校考期中）Improving your communication skills
Developing better communication habits requires several important skills that work together with each other. Some of these skills involve the way you speak or hold your body, and others are more emotionally based on interpersonal(人际关系的) skills. 41
●Listening skills.
Clear communication starts with active listening. If you’re just focusing on how to express yourself, perhaps you are not listening or reacting to what others are bringing to the table. 42 They pay close attention to what’s being said and make others feel heard and considered.
●Empathy(共鸣) .
43 Empathizing means both understanding and caring for someone else’s feelings. Having high emotional intelligence and the ability of empathizing can build ties between you and others and increase your ability to communicate.
● 44
Mastering nonverbal(非语言的) cues and signals can help prevent miscommunication and make those around you interested in signals. Pay attention to your facial expressions and body language when you are speaking with someone in a professional setting. Your nonverbal cues affect the first impression you make on someone. Maintaining eye contact, limiting hand gestures, and having good posture go a long way when meeting someone for the first time.
●Teamwork.
The ability to actively engage in team-building is vital to communication skills. 45 The more you build strong relationships with others in the work, the more effectively you'll be able to communicate with them.
A．Appropriate facial expressions.
B．Nonverbal communication skills.
C．Different ways are applied to active communicating.
D．Here are a few skills that good communicators possess.
E．Effective communicators use a variety of listening styles.

（2022秋·海南·高二校考期中）How to be patient
Have you ever been stuck in a long lunch line, or struggled with a difficult project at school If so, you have probably felt impatience, too. Impatience is a natural reaction in situations where things aren't going your way. 46 Practicing these strategies(策略)will help you feel calmer and happier even in frustrating situations.
Notice your thoughts and physical feelings. The next time you are getting impatient, take a moment to notice the thoughts you are having and how your body feels. Maybe you start to have thoughts like, “This is taking forever,” or feel your hands clenching or your breaths getting shorter. 47 Sometimes people also experience anger.
48 Take small, simple actions to distract yourself. It can be something as simple as holding your phone or moving it from one pocket to another. Focusing on the physical feeling of the act will distract you and give you a moment to regroup.
Take deep breaths. Close your eyes and breathe deeply, holding in your breath for a moment before letting the air out slowly. Deep breathing will calm your body and soothe your impatient thoughts. 49 This can prevent you from reacting to your frustrated feelings in a way you may later regret.
Shift your outlook. 50 Instead, concentrate on something that you can change: your outlook. You can try to find something positive in the situation you are facing. This can be hard at first, but pushing yourself to focus on the positive will make you feel better in the long run.
A．Interrupt the impatience.
B．Create a personal strategy.
C．It will also force you to pause for a moment.

（2022秋·重庆江津·高二校考期中）Here are a few ways to motivate (激发) children to do chores.
51 Children always watch their parents and learn how to act from them, so the parents must set a good example and take chores seriously. This motivates children to do chores, too.
Decide what kinds of chores children do. For younger children, give them easy work, like putting away their toys. 52 .
Tell children about the importance of doing chores. 53 Knowing the importance of the chores helps to motivate children to do them.
54 When children finish the chores on the list, parents can reward them by giving them a prize. A chore list also gives children a sense of pride when they finish all their chores.
Give children some money to do more chores. 55 But it is not the best way. It's best to make children feel that doing chores is the work that they should do.
A．Set good examples in the family.

（2022秋·重庆·高二重庆实验外国语学校校考期中）Body language is a kind of communication using body movements or gestures. This includes the most subtle of movements that many people are not aware of, including winking and slight movement of the eyebrows. Participants often unwittingly give away their feelings by unconscious displays of body language in the heat of the moment. 56 Here are two fundamental but highly motivative signs that should be watched for.
One of the most basic and powerful body-language signals is when a person crosses his arms across the chest. This can indicate that a person is putting up an unconscious barrier between themselves and others. It can also indicate that he is cold. When the overall situation is friendly, it can mean that a person is thinking deeply about what is being discussed. 57 When you see such body signals you need to adjust your presentation to fit a nostile situation. If, for instance, you’re negotiating salary with your boss when you notice these signals, realize that he is not thinking favorably. 58
The other commonly noticed body-language signal is consistent eye contact. It can indicate that a person is thinking positively of what the speaker is saying. It can also mean that the other person doesn’t trust the speaker enough to “take his eyes off”the speaker. Eye contact is often a misleading gesture because we are taught from an early age to make eye contact when speaking. 59 If you sense that they are upset about something, ask about their personal thoughts on the subject. If you sense that they’re bored, guide the conversation to a different topic. When you have the advantage of reading inner feelings from body signals, encourage the person to express themselves. 60
A．Probably your raise could be in question.
B．You should persuade him to have a second thought about the pay rise.
C．But in a serious situation, it can mean that a person is expressing opposition.
D．It will deepen communication, leading to greater efficiency of the conversation.
E．Body language is now widely used in many fields by people from all walks of life.
F．Faced with the consistent eye contact, try to interpret what the person may be thinking or feeling.
G．Understanding this unspoken but very readable language can give you an edge in many situations.
（2022秋·重庆·高二重庆巴蜀中学校考期中）Ronnie Schultz, a 66-year-old who lives in Manhattan, finds creative ways to work on her balance daily. She believes that balance is the key to living a longer, more fulfilling life, a theory that is now backed by science. 61 .
Establish a Balance-Focused Exercise Routine.
Every week, Schultz works virtually with a yoga teacher to learn new balancing techniques and receive guidance.
Over time, she’s built confidence in her mobility and balance, which affords her the opportunity to function on a high level and to continue to do the things she loves. 62 .
Incorporate Balance in Daily Life.
63 . She finds herself balancing on one leg while waiting to cross the street and while brushing her teeth.
“I brush my teeth on one leg,” Shultz says. “I have a two-minute timer on my electric toothbrush, and I hardly ever touch the sink. I don’t want to lose that opportunity to do a balancing pose.”

（2022秋·重庆·高二重庆一中校考期中）Learn to Be Accountable (负责任的)
How does it feel when you own up to something Taking responsibility for your actions not only feels good, it also teaches you to trust yourself and strengthens friendships. 66
What does being accountable mean
It can be easy to blame others or make excuses for mistakes, but being accountable means accepting that you are responsible for what you say and do. 67 You could easily say the bus was late, but being accountable means apologizing and accepting that it was your responsibility to get there on time. However, being accountable doesn’t mean taking the blame for things you can’t change, such as what other people do or say. You’re only accountable for things you can control.
68
According to research, understanding that you have control over your own actions makes you feel more positive and hopeful about the future. Taking responsibility can make other people trust you more as well. It is also an opportunity to fix your mistakes and learn from them, which helps you to trust yourself more too.
How can I be accountable
69 One way of doing this is by drawing a circle of control to help you work this out. As well as being responsible for what you can change, try accepting the things you can’t. The Big Life Journal says, “We can’t always control what happens to us, but we do have a say in how we respond to it. We can still choose our attitude.” Finally, being accountable also includes taking responsibility when things go right, too. 70
A．How is being accountable good for me
B．How does being accountable make me feel
C．Start by understanding what is in and out of your control.
D．Imagine arranging to meet a friend and then turning up late.
E．Remember no one is perfect and everyone messes up sometimes.
F．Remember to celebrate and feel good about yourself when this happens.
G．Besides, being accountable can improve your happiness and help achieve more.

10．根据上文“Find scholarships through friends and family.(通过朋友和家人寻找奖学金。)”和后文“which can help see if they know of any scholarships.(这有助于了解他们是否知道有奖学金。)”可知，本段主要讲的是通过朋友和家人来寻找奖学金的信息，空格后面的they指的应该是上文提到的家人和朋友。结合后文的“So ask around!(所以问问周围的人吧！)”可知，空格处应该是向周围的人询问，包括朋友、家人等，E选项“Talk to your friends, parents and even parents’ friends(和你的朋友，父母，甚至父母的朋友谈谈)”符合语境。故选E。

67．上文“but being accountable means accepting that you are responsible for what you say and do(但负责任意味着你要对自己的言行负责)”提到负责任意味着你要对自己的言行负责，结合下文“You could easily say the bus was late, but being accountable means apologizing and accepting that it was your responsibility to get there on time.(你可以轻易地说公交车晚点了，但负责任意味着道歉并接受准时到达是你的责任)”可知，此处是以见面迟到举例说明什么是负责任，D项“想象一下，你约了朋友见面，结果却迟到了”符合语境。故选D。
68．空处是段落标题。根据本段“According to research, understanding that you have control over your own actions makes you feel more positive and hopeful about the future. Taking responsibility can make other people trust you more as well. It is also an opportunity to fix your mistakes and learn from them, which helps you to trust yourself more too.(根据研究，明白你可以控制自己的行为会让你对未来感到更加积极和充满希望。承担责任也能让别人更信任你。这也是一个改正错误并从中吸取教训的机会，这也会帮助你更加信任自己)”可知，本段是讲述负责任的好处，A项“负责任对我有什么好处”符合语境，故选A。
69．根据本段小标题“How can I be accountable (我如何变得负责任)”可知，本段是描述如何负责任，结合空后“One way of doing this is by drawing a circle of control to help you work this out.(一种方法是画一个控制圈来帮助你解决这个问题)”可知，空处是描述负责任的方法，指明下文“doing this”的具体指代内容，C项“首先要了解什么是你能控制的，什么是你不能控制的”符合语境。故选C。
70．根据上文“Finally, being accountable also includes taking responsibility when things go right, too.(最后，负责任还包括在事情进展顺利时承担责任)”可知，负责任也意味着事情进展顺利时承担责任，即承认事情进展顺利是由于自己的功劳，这时可以庆祝一下，自我激励一下，F项“记住，当这种情况发生时，记住庆祝并自我感觉良好”符合语境，F项中“this”指代上文“when things go right”，故选F。
