1、河南省开封市五县2022-2023学年高二上学期期中英语试题学校:_姓名：_班级：_考号：_一、阅读理解Coding(编码) apps and programming apps for kids are becoming increasingly popular. Here are some of the best apps for teaching kids to code.ScratchScratch is by far the most popular coding app for kids, and it is now used in many schools all over the
2、 world. It is available for free on the web as well as for Android and iOS, which is why it is so popular. Created in 2003 by MIT students and staff, its coding language is designed for children aged 7 to 16.The language employs visual blocks or bricks that can be dragged and dropped on a workspace
3、to construct logical chains. As a result, the child will have a better understanding of the fundamental principles of coding.Daisy the DinosaurDaisy the Dinosaur is a free iPad and iPhone programming app. What distinguishes it from the rest is that it is designed specifically for children aged 4 to
4、7. The app was developed by the same team that created the Hopscotch coding app for kids. If youve ever used that app, Daisy the Dinosaur has a similar user-friendly interface with limited features that is best for beginners.Cargo-BotCargo-Bot is a free coding app that is available for both Android
5、and iOS devices. It is appropriate for children aged 10 and up.

9、 moved to Aurora, Ontario. I was a radio broadcaster, but I didnt have the company of colleagues. That was because I worked not in the office, but at home, and I owed it to the power of technology. Shortly after the move, I found myself feeling lonelier than ever before, I was desperate to make a fr
10、iend.Then I saw her. From the window of my flat, I caught sight of a beautiful and tall girl taking her recyclables and walking confidently, and I was attracted. I thought, “I recycle too! We have something in common!”The question was how we would meet, “Should I knock on her door and sayhi, or what
11、 if I just happened to be running by?” But after jogging a few times around the block, I still didnt see her. Finally, I decided to seize on the one thing I already knew about her-recycling.The following Tuesday, I got up a bit earlier. Around 8 am, she turned up again, with the same confidence. “Ju

13、d for a few weeks, I gathered my courage to invite her to my home.

16、ies to make friends.Recently, scientists have studied the full genetic (基因的) information of more than 18,000 cancer samples(样本). Their study is not the first to do such a complete genetic study of cancer samples. But no one has ever used such a large sample size. Researchers were able to study such
17、a large number because of the improvements in technology.Over 12,000 samples in the study care from patients gathered by Britains National Health Service. They were part of a project to study whole genomes from people with common cancers and rare diseases. The rest of the data came from existing can
18、cer data sets. For the study, researchers looked at 19 different kinds of cancer in the human body. It identified 58 new pieces of evidence leading to the causes of cancer that could help doctors provide better treatment. Now doctors will have much more information to draw from when they look at ind
19、ividual cancers.Andrew Futreal, a genomic expert at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, said the study gave scientists some knowledge of the destructive forces that cause cancer. Some arise because of problems within a persons cells(细胞); others are caused by tobacco smoke or chemicals and so on. I
20、t also shows doctors what will probably happen over time when a patient develops a cancer with a certain gene changing pattern, and help doctors give earlier treatment and hopefully stop the developing disease.To help doctors use the new information, researchers have developed a computer program tha
21、t will let them find common gene changing patterns and seek out unusual ones. By this way, doctors could suggest a treatment based on a special pattern.8How did scientists conduct the study?ABy making observation.BBy analyzing data.CBy asking questions.DBy doing lab experiments.9What can be learned
22、from paragraph 3?AThe study actually provides little knowledge of cancer.BDoctors are unable to give earlier treatment of cancer.CThere are physical and environmental causes of cancer.DTheres no hope for doctors to stop a cancer developing.10What is the best title for the text?AVarious Reasons for C

24、ls(运河), Amsterdam is undergoing a change of attitude when it comes to the millions of tourists that come to see it each year. Tolerance has reached its limits in the capital of Dutch, which is now actively urging visitors to head elsewhere.Ellen van Loon, a partner at Dutch architectural firm OMA, s
25、ays, “We dont want to turn into a Venice. While tourism earns the Dutch economy around 82 billion euros a year, the problem we are currently facing is that Amsterdam is so infatuated by tourists that we just have so many tourists coming to the city. ”Netherlands tourist officials recently took the d
26、ecision to stop advertising the country as a tourist destination. “Perspective 2030”, report, published earlier this year, stated that the focus will now be on “destination management” rather than “destination promoting”. The document also describes the countrys future strategy, acknowledging that A

The two-meter-high letters have been moved to various lesser-known neighborhoods in order to persuade travelers
29、 to leave the center of the city.But will the measures being put in place be enough to save it from being damaged by its own success? Like many other locals, Ellen van Loon fears that Amsterdam has already lost its uniqueness forever. “The reason tourists come here is that; theres something in the c
30、haracter of Amsterdam they love,” she explains. “But at a certain point, when the number of tourists is increasing and increasing, they actually kill what they loved in the first place. ”12What is the change in Amsterdam mentioned in the first paragraph?ASaying no to bad travel behavior.BWelcoming m
