In our age, though, which he felt was growing increasingly stupid, Dali represented an air of challenging and annoying everyone else. Today he is ranked alongside Picasso as one of the modernist greats, and the general public quite clearly loves his art as well; therefore, it is difficult to understand why he should still be seen as so challenging and annoying, and why many people should still consider him as mad. Dali himself declared: "The only difftrcncc between myself and a madman is the fact that I am not mad! Writer Michel Deon once said, “His personality -whether it is loved or ha(ed-is based on something deep and appealing, and that is his roots and his feelings. Roots that reach deep into the earth, absorbing everything that has been produced in four thousand years of painting, architecture and sculpture. Feelings that are picking up things to come, from the future, expecting it and flying to it at lightning speed. It cannot be emphasized enough that Dali is a man of tireless scientific curiosity.'' One might say that Dali was typical of his age: he had grasped how to make himself a star.18. What does Dali actually want(o say to other painters?A. "Be brave to show yourself.”Be honest to yourself.”B. ”Be pleased to stay ordinary. D. ”Be respectful to the public.n 19. How docs the author look at Dali?A. He was too proud of himself.B. He was undoubtedly a genius.C. He was too challenging and annoying.D. He was unfairly understood.20. What can we learn from the last paragraph about Dali?A. He was not only learned but advanced. B. He was not only honest but emotional. C. He was a scientist rather than an artist.D. He was a star rather than a genius.21. What aspect of Dali is the text mainly about?A. His amazing achievements in art.B. His special ability in learning.C. His extraordinary belief in himself.D. His annoying behavior in public.DIt's an attractive idea: by playing online problem-solving, matching and other games fbr a few minutes a day, people can improve such mental abilities as reasoning, verbal （i吾言 ）skills and memory. But whether these games deliver on those promises is up fbr debate.This year, in perhaps the biggest real-world test of these programs, neuroscientists （神 经学家） at Canada's Western University gathered 8, 563 volunteers globally through Cambridge Brain Sciences, a Toronto-based company that provides assessments to measure healthy brain function. Participants filled out an online question form about their training habits, opinions about training benefits and which, if any, program they used. Some 1, 009 participants reported using brain training programs for about eight months, on average, though the length of time ranged from two weeks to more than five years.Next the volunteers completed 12 mental tests about memory, reasoning and verbal skills.When researchers looked at the results, they saw that brain trainees on average had no mental edne over （he other group in memory, verbal skills and reasoning. Even among those who had used training programs fbr at least 18 months, brain training didn't boost thinking abilities above the level of people who didirt use the programs.“No matter how wc dealt with the data, wc were unable to find any evidence that brain training was associated with mental abilities,“ says a researcher. That held true whether the team analyzed participants by age, program used, education or economic situation - all were similar to the group who didn'l use the programs. However, brain training may be beneficial when it is connected with real problems in life, researchers say. The real world may be the best brain trainer. They suggest that we practice those skills in different real-life situations. ''That's a much better use of one's time than sitting at a computer and doing little tasks/'How were the 1,009 test participants different from the others?A. They completed more mental tests.B. They showed better menial abilities.C. They filled an online question form.D. They had brain training experiences.22. Which of the following best replaces the underlined word "edge" in paragraph 3?A.

It should settle problems in life.D. It should benefit more researchers.24. Which of the following is the best title of the text?A. Debate Raised after Research?B. Online Games Boost Brainpower?C. Biggest Real-world Test Ever?D. New Method for Brain Training?广东省深圳市龙岗区2022-2023学年高二上学期期末调研考试英语试题第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。A4 epic train journeys to take in ChinaA nation of vast distances and ever-changing landscapes, China is a destination that's simply made for train travel. Here are our picks for the best train journeys running through China, to see beautiful landscapes, epic World Heritage sites and beyond.Beijing to Lhasa (3757km)One of China's most epic train journeys is this spectacular two-day trip along the highest railway line in the world. Running from the nation's capital all the way to Tibet, it covers some 3757km across eight provinces.Trans-Mongolian (7621km)No discussion on China train travel is complete without mention of the Trans-Mongolian route.One of the world's great rail journeys, this seven-day, six-night bucket-list adventure travels 7621km from Beijing into the wilds of the Gobi desert, the Mongolia steppe and the endless birch forests of Siberia before pulling into Moscow.Hefei to Fuzhou (850km)Unquestionably one of China's most scenic high-speed railways, this route passes not one, but three World Heritage sites. Beginning in Hefei in Anhui province, this bullet train races through China's southeast to arrive at Fuzhou in Fujian province. It's a fbur-hour journey through mountainous scenery of mist-cloaked pine forest, canyons, rivers, lea plantations and well-presened villages. Highlights include Huangshan. Sanqingshan National Park and Mt Wuyi, all featuring idyllic trails leading to summits with astonishing lookouts.Xian to Urumuqi (2344km)Linking China to the West, the ancient trade route of the Silk Road has long evoked a sense of romance for travelers far and wide. And though the days of camel-drawn caravans are long gone, the Lanzhou-Xinjiang High Speed Train enables you to retrace their steps in quicker and more comfortable means.21. What do Beijing to Lhasa and Trans-Mongolian have in common?A. They cover the same length.B. They start from the same city.C. They run across eight provinces.D. They will pull into foreign countries.22. Which can be a suitable train travel for a mountain lover?A. Beijing to LhasaB. Trans-MongolianC. Hefei to FuzhouD. Xian to Urumuqi23. Where is this text probably taken from?A. In a history book.B. In a novel.C. In a travel magazine.D. In a biography.BIfs certainly not unusual to see groups of footballers gathering at sports centres around the country, readying to kick a ball around, but look again and you'll see that many of them are more mature than you first thought. Created as recently as 2011, and mostly played by those aged over 50, walking football is a sport still in its infancy.For （he uninitiated（夕卜行人）,its football, but maybe not as you know it. The game certainly isn't as slow as you might imagine. One foot has to remain on the ground at all times, so the ball has to be moved with accuracy, players having to find space to receive the pass. Often players are restricted to three touches of the ball before releasing it as a mechanism to cut down on any running. The rules are further slightly changed to ensure there's minimal contact between players with no tackling from the side or from behind.Andy Fairbum is a regular at the sessions. Now in his early-seventies, Andy finds the game still has plenty to offer him."I've been playing football since I was about 16, mainly Sunday League and then playing indoor five-a-side with work teams and then starting here. Getting older, your knees are knackered, your hips start to hurt, and I'll know when it,s time to stop, but I've still got some time left to enjoy it. I am still competitive, though, and old habits die hard. What I've enjoyed most is the friendship and meeting new people. We've all become friends. We talk about all kinds of things.”For many who thought football was finished for them as a participation sport due to fitness and age, it's far from the case. Walking football is a sport played by those who've never kicked a ball before through to those skilled enough to play for their country, often on the same pitch. The game may be growing faster than its participants arc allowed to move, but it's never too late to enjoy the thrill of kicking a ball around with like-minded people.24. What does the underlined word “infancy“ mean in the first paragraph?A. An unusual thing to see.B. A beginning period of existence.C. An aging stage of advancement.D. A mature era of development.25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The playing rules of walking football.B. The limit of running of walking football.C. The minimal contact in walking football.D. The accuracy of the move in walking football.26. Why does Andy Fairburn like playing walking football in his early-seventies?A. His body parts start to hurt.B He doesn't know when to stop.C. His team needs him very much.D. He makes new friends with others.27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Participants are encouraged to move fast.B. Walking football is finished for the aged.C. Participants needn't be skilled football players.D. Walking football is designed for skilled players.CAs online learning becomes more common and more and more resources are becoming digital form, some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and everyone should be given an iPad with an e-reader subscription.Supporters of this idea state that it will save money because libraries arc expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they won't have to travel to a library to get a book. They could also access more materials because libraries won't have to buy physical copies of books.However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets. First, digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems. A study done on tablet vs book reading found that people read 20-30% slower on tablets, obtain 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read compared to people who read the same information in print. Additionally, staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause more health problems, including dry eyes and headaches.Second, it is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries can keep community connected. One neighborhood found that, after a local library community events, over a third of residents reported feeling more connected to their community. Similarly, a survey conducted in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American adults feel that closing their local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries as a way to connect with others, which tablets can't offer nearly as well or as easily.While replacing libraries with （ablets may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by a simple object.28. Why do people want to close libraries?A. lb pursue economy and convenience.B. To promote c-books and subscription.C. To advocate e-reading and e-leaming.D. To follow e-leaming trend and fashion.29. How does the author support his idea in Paragraph 3?A. By listing reasons.B. By giving examples.C. By doing experiments.D. By making comparisons.30. What can people get from libraries?A. Information and solution.B. Encouragement and association.C. Efficiency and connection.D. Understanding and satisfaction.31. Which is the suitable title for the passage?A. Books Grow PopularE-reading is a New TrendB. Libraries Still Matter a LotDigital Screens Gain PopularityDMany of the threats currently facing our oceans, such as rising temperatures and pollution, arc widely understood. However, there are a number of relatively unknown emerging issues that are poorly understood in terms of their potential impact, whether good or bad, on marine environments. Several arc linked to the exploitation （开发）of newly in-demand ocean resources.In the hope that early identification will support scientists conservationists and policy-makers to address these new challenges in plenty of time, 30 experts in marine and coastal ecosystems have proposed a list of the 15 issues most likely lo have a significant impact on ocean biodiversity over the next five to ten years. Here, we will take a closer look at one of those issues.In coastal seas around the world, the water is growing darker. This darkness, caused by increasing
