The mission of the Peace Corps is to promote world peace and friendship by providing trained volunteers to countries who need them. Here is advice of two of those volunteers on joining the Peace Corps and some more information about the activity.Schwille: It usually takes nine to twelve months to be placed, and it’ll take longer if you’re married. If you’re willing to go anywhere, there are more opportunities. Remember the place you’re going is not the place you think it is.Schneider: The biggest piece of advice I could share is that each experience is so unique and every experience is incredibly valuable. There is no one way to measure the “success” or “impact” a volunteer has in their community.

As it spread, killing at least 85 people and displacing thousands more in Northern California, Madison waited patiently.Madison’s owner, Andrea Gaylord, was not able to get to her home in Paradise, California, when the fire began to spread on Nov. 8, meaning Madison was left behind. For weeks, all Gaylord could do was pray for Madison’s safety.Shayla Sullivan, a rescue volunteer, spotted Madison a few times in a valley, apparently guarding territory, and put out fresh food and water regularly in hopes that the dog would turn up. She even placed an article of clothing that smelled like Andrea near the home to keep Madison’s hope alive until his people could return.When the evacuation(撤離) order was lifted last week and Andrea went back to the property—which had been destroyed by the fire—her prayers were answered: Madison was there, seemingly protecting what little remained of his family’s home.“WELL, I’m so HAPPY to report that Andrea was allowed to return to her property today and THERE MADISON WAS!!!! He had stayed to protect what was left of his home, and NEVER gave up on his people!” Sullivan wrote in the comment on her Facebook post, which was shared 12,000 times as of Saturday evening. “I’m so happy. I’m crying as I write this! He didn’t give up through the storms or the fire! A LOOOOONG month it must have been for him!” she added.Later, Andrea said in an interview that she was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her. Andrea lost everything in the fire and is now homeless, but she has been able to find some solace knowing her dogs are safe, “Imagine the loyalty of hanging in through the worst of circumstances and being here waiting,” Andrea told ABC10, fighting through tears. “You could never ask for better animals.”24.

A frightened survivor had a narrow escape from the fire.CA new study led by researchers at the University of California, Riverside, has found exposure to third-hand smoke (THS) causes skin diseases.The study—the first to look at humans exposed to THS—involved 10 healthy non-smokers wearing clothing with either filtered (過(guò)濾的) air or THS chemicals. The investigation lasted three hours, during which participants would either walk or run for 15 minutes per hour—this would make them sweat and increase the levels of THS potentially taken in through the skin. Blood samples were collected, which were measured to see whether THS may have caused cell or tissue damage.“We found THS exposure caused damage to DNA, lipids (脂質(zhì)), and proteins, and the damage remained even after the exposure stopped,” said Shane Sakamaki-Ching, a doctor of biology and the first author of the study. “Cigarette smokers show the same result.” The study showed exposure to THS increases signals related with skin diseases, which makes sense: the organ most likely to come into contact with THS is your skin, and so it receives the biggest exposure to the harmful chemicals. “However, what’s even more worrying is the tendency to lead to cancer,” added Sakamaki-Ching.“If you buy a used car previously owned by a smoker, you are putting yourself at some health risk,” said Prue Talbot, a professor of cell biology at UC Riverside and the corresponding author of the study. “If you go to a restaurant that allows smoking, you are exposing your skin to THS. The same applies to staying in a hotel room that was previously occupied by a smoker.”All that came from just three hours’ investigation. And if you think e-cigarette smokers are being forgotten, fear not: the team’s next project is to take a look at which remains are left by these less-deadly death sticks.Sakamaki-Ching said, “Our findings can help physicians in checking patients exposed to THS and help develop policies improving indoor environments polluted by THS.”28. Why were the participants in the study asked to take exercise?A. To keep themselves energetic.B. To speed up blood production.C. To do away with THS by sweating.D. To have their skin absorb more THS.29. What can we learn from paragraph 3?A. THS is likely to cause skin cancer.B. Cigarette smokers suffer more from THS.C. The tendency to lead to cancer worries smokers.D. The damage caused by THS remains until the exposure stops.30. What message does Prue Talbot want to convey in paragraph 4?A. Public places should ban smoking entirely.B. THS can be widely found in our daily life.C. Non-smokers must keep off smokers for health.D. Sharing is a bad habit and should be abandoned.31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Ways to Prevent Skin Diseases WorseningB. A Campaign to Be Proposed to Ban THSC. THS Can Cause Skin DiseasesD. New Study Reveals the Potential Harm of SmokingDTo nap or not to nap? Whether napping will work for you depends on a range of factors, such as lifestyle, sleep cycle length, culture, and, most importantly, the length of your snooze. If you like to nap, you are not alone. Napping is part of the culture in many countries: around 51 percent of people worldwide habitually enjoy 40 winks in the daytime.When it comes to napping. one size definitely doesn’t fit all. If you are sleep deprived, a nap can be helpful or even essential for making it through the day. However, for those with other sleep issues, a nap may make it harder to fall asleep at night. For most of us, the timing and length of our nap will largely determine how beneficial it is to our sleep routine.Between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., most people experience an increase in sleepiness, triggered by a slight drop in core body temperature. A nap of 30 minutes or less around this time allows you to benefit from a burst of Stage I and 2 sleep, which is good for mental and physical alertness.Napping for 30 minutes or less can reduce stress and lower the risk of cardiovascular problems like heart attacks and strokes. One study showed that napping three times a week for 30 minutes led to a 37 percent decreased risk of dying from heart disease.A brief nap can be beneficial for those with excessive daytime sleepiness, including people suffering from sleep apnea(呼吸暫停) or narcolepsy, shift workers, and people with jet lag. Studies show that short naps can help improve or reset a disrupted circadian rhythm (晝夜節(jié)律).Naps can interfere with insomnia(失眠) treatment, which involves restricting daytime sleep to increase the likelihood of sleeping solidly at night.Be cautious about naps of more than 30 minutes. Waking from the deep-sleep stages results in sleep inertia, a super-dizzy state where brainwaves are slow and it takes longer to adjust to the awake state.A recent study has found that napping for more than 60 minutes a day increased the risk of type 2 diabetes by 50 percent.32. Whether a nap is needed is determined mainly by .A. your living habit B. your sleep-wake circleC. the society you’re in D. period of time in sleeping33. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?A. A nap benefits all the people.B. Not all the people fit napping.C. A nap works on one with sleep problems.D. A nap works for you if you’re lacking sleep.34. Which of the following statements is true?A. Improper length of napping leads to sleep disorder.B. A 30-minute napping results in longer time to keep awake.C. Napping 60 minutes a day tends to trigger certain disease.D. Napping less than 30 minutes ensures you refreshed after wake.35. What is a suitable title for the text?A. Napping: Harmful or Helpful? B. A Boost for SleepingC. The Timing of a Nap D. A New Trend of Napping第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分12.5分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Vacation often starts with a wonderful idea. 36 With a little bit of preparation and effort, travelers can overcome 90% of the difficulties they may face during a trip.

It would have been a perfect day to play. But Martin wasn’t out there to play.His mother had sent him out there so that he could practice the flute(長(zhǎng)笛). When she had bought him the expensive flute, he had promised to practice at least thirty minutes every day. But it can be difficult to concentrate or something as unexciting as a flute when your room is full of cool stuff like a TV, video games and the Internet. So Martin’s mother sent him to the backyard to practice, where there would be no distractions(使人分心的事物).Martin sat down on the grass and brought the flute to his lips. He began doing his fingering exercises with his eyes closed. You have to close your eyes when you want to concentrate on stuff. Anyway, he played for a good forty or fifty seconds before he heard a familiar sound: “Hey, Martin!”He looked in the direction of the voice and saw the face of his friend, his next-door neighbor Kris, who was smiling at him from the fence which separated their yards.“I just got a new movie!” he said. “Want to come over and check it out?”Well, that was exactly what Martin wanted to do. He loved movies but he shook his head and said sorry. Kris seemed disappointed that Martin had said no. But he also understood that Martin had to practice a lot when he was learning a musical instrument. So he left and watched the film by himself.Martin was alone with his flute. He closed his eyes and started his fingering exercises again. But he couldn’t concentrate. His father was a scientist. Martin had been to his lab many times. He couldn’t understand why his father could concentrate on his researches for so long a time. When he was thinking, his father came over.注意：1．續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；2．請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。Paragraph 1: With a smile on his face, his father sat beside Martin, which made the young boy a little nervous. Paragraph 2: Martin felt ashamed and then he nodded, saying he hoped to be a flute performer. 2022學(xué)年第二學(xué)期溫州十校聯(lián)合體期末聯(lián)考高二年級(jí)英語(yǔ)學(xué)科參考答案第一部分聽力（共兩節(jié)，滿分30分）1—5CAACB 6—10 BCCAC 11—15 BCACB 16—20 BCAAB第二部分閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分50分）第一節(jié)（共15小題：每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分）21—23 BCC 24—27 DDAC 28—31 DABC 32—35 DBAA第二節(jié)（共5小題：每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）3640 GFEAB第三部分語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分30分）第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題1分，滿分15分）41—45 CBDAA 46—50 BCDCB 51—55 ABCDA第二節(jié)（共10小題；每小題1.5分，滿分15分）56. a 57. which 58. representatives 59. stretches60. to 61. and 62.Various 63. freely64. joining 65. to be completed第四部分寫作（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）第一節(jié)（滿分15分）One possible version:Dear fellow students,Recently it’s common to see some uncivilized practices on campus such as littering and wasting resources. I, on behalf of the Student Union, would like to call on everyone to contribute to an eco-friendly campus.Firstly, we should make recycling as easy as possible. A simple way to do this is bearing garbage classification in mind, throwing different kinds of waste into different dustbins.Secondly, conserve water, electricity and paper. For example, turn off the tap and the lights when not in use, and reuse used paper on the back, thus reducing waste of resources.Let’s make the campus a greener place! Only through joint efforts can we achieve this goal.The Student Union第二節(jié)（滿分25分）One possible version:With a smile on his face, his father sat beside Martin, which made the young boy a little nervous. He was afraid that his father would blame him and thought he didn’t do well enough. But he mustered his courage to ask his father, “Dad, why can you focus your attention on your researches for that long?” Gently patting him on the shoulder, his father answered, “Easy. Interest. Dream. I hope to find a new world by researching. When I was young like you, I knew I would be a scientist. And I believe interest makes me concentrate. Would you like to be a good flute player?”Martin felt ashamed and then he nodded, saying he hoped to be a flute performer. Yes, actually, it was he who was so interested in the flute that he asked his mother to buy one. Of course, he should devote himself to the flute to get himself improved. Concentrating on his interest and making efforts to realize his dream to become a good flute player undoubtedly are his top priorities. Thinking of this, he smiled and began to set his mind to his flute. So lost in the playing was he that he forgot about the time. Thirty minutes passed in a flash. At that time, Martin realized that while there are many things making people absent-minded, the love of our dreams can make a difference.聽力原文Text 1M: I went to the art gallery the day before yesterday, but it was closed.

Quite by chance, the engine was broken on the boat, so they had to call the sailing trip off.M: That’s a shame. So what was the most exciting part of the trip?W: Probably exploring the old caves. I’d never done it before, and I thought it was great.Text 10W: It is well-known that “prom”, a formal dance held at the end of high school or college, is an important date in every student’s life. “Prom” means to walk around, beautifully dressed, in order to attract attention. The idea is that you should see and be seen by others.The “prom” is not just an American tradition though most people believe that it started in America. In Canada, the event is called a “formal”. In Britain and Australia, the old-fashioned word “dance” is more and more often being referred to as a “prom”, and for final school year students in all these countries, this event is the highlight of the school year, just as it is in the USA. Most countries have some forms of celebration when students finish high school. After all, it marks the end of life as a child, and the beginning of life as an adult.“Prom” is expensive to organize and the tickets can cost the students a lot of money. The tradition is that students themselves have to raise the money to pay for it. In some American schools, student unions save for the event for the four years they spend in high school.
