1、2022届广东省广州市普通高中毕业班综合测试（二）（二模）英语试题学校:_姓名：_班级：_考号：_一、阅读理解Like humans, animals need sleep too. A big problem for animals in the wild is keeping their enemies away while they sleep. Animals take care of this problem in different ways.Anolis lizards live in many areas including tropical rainforests. They
2、 often sleep on leaves at the end of long branches. A leaf might seem like a strange bed, but it works like an alarm. If a hungry snake wiggles a branch, the lizard wakes up and leaps to safety.Chimpanzees take their sleep very seriously. Each day, a chimpanzee builds itself a new, comfortable bed t
3、o sleep in. Scientists believe chimpanzees carefully choose a tree that is strong, where they build a nest using branches and leaves.Parrotfish live among coral reefs in oceans. Every night, parrotfish usually sleep close to the rock in sheltered places. Some parrotfish go one step further by quickl
4、y making a slime layer that covers their whole body. This covering acts like a sleeping bag that provides a barrier against danger.Bottle-nosed dolphins need to sleep, but they have to be on the oceans surface to breathe. They also need to watch over their young. What do they do? While half of the d
5、olphins brain sleeps, the other half stays awake. After a while, the sleeping half wakes up while the other half snoozes.Sooty terns have the most amazing sleep. They nest on islands. When they are not nesting, they live for many years in the sky and on the seas surface. When and where can they slee

He was then socially awkward, failing at school an
8、d terrible at ball games.Glasses turned his life around, yet even as a child he was aware of how lucky he was. Bastawrous grew up in the UK, but his family would visit poor parts of Egypt, where his parents were from. “Nobody there wore glasses, but I knew some people needed them,” he says. “It felt
9、 incredibly unfair. At 16, I decided I wasnt going to feel guilty about it any more.” He determined there and then to become an eye surgeon, and he did.In 2012, he and his wife moved with their one-year-old son to a small town 5 hours drive from Nairobi. They had limited electricity and running wate
10、r. For 18 months, every time Bastawrous and his team set up their “mobile” eye clinic in yet another new location, they had to drag heavy, fragile hospital equipment cross-country. There was another problem, as one local doctor described it, “We dont even have enough doctors and now you also want ey
11、e surgeons? Thats probably a pipe dream.”All this convinced Bastawrous that something fundamental was needed. So he started exploring ways to replace his clinic with a single, convenient device: a smartphone. He co-developed an app-based visual test that gathers as much information as the classic on
12、e, using similar principles. The critical difference is that almost anyone can carry it out after just a few minutes of training. Bastawrous co-founded a charitable company to develop and apply the technology more widely. His team also developed technologies that enabled a smartphone camera to take
13、hospital-grade images of the back of the eye.Thats a pretty good start, but Bastawrous has his sights set sky high. “I feel were at a tipping point now where this enormous problem will become a historical thing. Thats when Ill sleep easy,” he says.4What drove Bastawrous to become an eye surgeon?AHis
14、 personal misfortune.BHis burning sense of injustice.CHis ambition to turn his life around.DHis guilt about leaving his home country.5What can we infer about Bastawrouss first 18 months in Africa?AIts hard and problematic.BIts challenging but fruitful.CIts adventurous and unrealistic.DIts fundamenta
15、l but innovative.6Bastawrouss innovation can be described as _ Acheap and convenient treatments for patients.Ba virtual and complete change from a classic test.Ca smart and popularised application of technology.Dfast and effective trainings of medical professionals.7What do Bastawrouss words in the
16、last paragraph show?AHis modest attitude to his past achievements.BHis optimistic views on the cure for blindness.CHis strong belief in the effects of future technology.DHis firm determination to carry on his challenging career.Feeling overloaded by your to-do list can certainly make you unhappy, bu
17、t new research suggests that more free time might not be the elixir many of us dream it could be.In a new study released last week, researchers analyzed data from two large-scale (大规模) surveys about how Americans spend their time. Together, the surveys included more than 35,000 respondents. The rese
18、archers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being but only up to a point. People who had around two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five or more hours of free time a day gen
19、erally said they felt worse. So ultimately the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day, the findings suggest.Part of finding this seemingly tricky “sweet spot” has to do with how people spend the extra time they have, the researchers behind the new study argue. They conducted seve
20、ral smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things (like exercising) or to imagine doing “unproductive” activities (like watching TV). Study participants believed their
21、well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was hypothetical, which is one limitation of the new research, its certainly in line with other research showing that being in a state of “flow” can be good for peopl
22、es mental health.Of course, what feels “productive” is up to you. Many traditionally productive or purposeful activities can be easy and fun. Engaging in a bit of low-key cardio, like walking and jogging, can help burn stress. Free-time activities like reading or cooking are also known to put people
23、 in a state of flow.8What does the underlined word “elixir” in paragraph 1 refer to?AMagic solution.BPhysical power.CPsychological test.DRelaxed atmosphere.9How did the researchers carry out the new study?ABy doing large-scale online surveys.BBy giving interviews and mental tests.CBy comparing respo
24、ndents backgrounds.DBy conducting experiments and analyzing data.10What is a distinct finding of the new research?ADoing unproductive things leads to unhappiness.BBeing in a state of flow benefits peoples mental health.CMans well-being is positively related to the free time they have.DHow people spe
25、nd their free time affects their sense of well-being.11What is the focus of the last paragraph?AThe importance of burning stress.BEasy and fun activities to kill time.CFurther explanation of being productive.DThe benefits of engaging in free-time activities.Even when communing with nature we depend
26、on technology for help but then, so did Thoreau (梭罗) at Walden Pond (瓦尔登湖).Walking in the same woods yesterday, I let myself wander at random, communing with nature.I took in beautiful scenery near and far thanks to my progressive-lens eyeglasses. Occasionally Id pull out my smartphone to take pictu
27、res on anything interesting. I recorded an inner monologue with a background of all sounds of the forest. At times, I consulted my smart watch to check on my heartbeat, mileage and calorie burn. Eventually I realized I was quite lost. Not a problem of course. Online maps came to my rescue.But someth
28、ing bothered me. In what Id intended as a nature experience, here I was using very high technology to help myself out. This insight triggered a reconsideration of everything that happened during my “nature walk,” which had been technologically enhanced every step of the way. Id been functioning as a
29、 man-machine combination: a cyborg.What would the true naturalist Thoreau think of that? My first thought was that hed be shocked. But later I did some research. Thoreau enjoyed what his spyglass discovered, like this eagle from his journal:Lying on the ground with my glass, I could watch him very e
30、asily till I almost lost him in the clouds I think I have got the worth of my glass now that it has revealed to me the white-headed eagle.Famously, Thoreau always set out equipped with a walking stick, which he used not only for support but also to take measurements of water and snow levels. His hat
31、 was also a tool, which he called his “botany-box.” And he was prepared even with needles and thread, so when coming out of the woods, he was “the best dressed.” Clearly, Thoreau was a bit of a cyborg himself.Thinking more deeply, I realized weve come a long way from our hunter-gatherer ancestors, w
32、ho walked from necessity and relied on natures gift. Cyborgs are us.12What is the purpose of the text?ATo recommend Thoreaus book Walden Pond.BTo argue that humans have developed into cyborgs.CTo share the reflections on mans reliance on nature.DTo question whether people are technology-dependent.13
33、Which picture best illustrates a cyborg in the authors eye?ABC D 14Why does the author quote Thoreaus journal?ATo introduce a literary work on nature.BTo explain how to prepare for a nature walk.CTo prove that even naturalists use technology.DTo describe the natural beauty Thoreau enjoyed.15What is
34、the authors attitude towards being a cyborg?AFavorable.BIntolerant.CDoubtful.DUnclear.二、七选五Want a relaxing but fun challenge at home? _16_ Puzzles have been around for more than 250 years and the challenge of working out where each piece goes and carefully recreating the scene on the box lid can kee

For beginners, a 100-piece puzzle is usually a good starting point._17_ Try grouping pieces with the same colours or design because they will probably go in the same area once the puzzle takes shape
36、._18_ Those pieces are easier to find because they have a straight side. Stay patient as you search through and try to make it fit together. You may not find any connecting pieces for ages but then several may suddenly appear.For a real test, puzzles that have 1,000 pieces or more are a tough task a
