Grammar and Vocabulary20%Section A 10%Directions:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Emotional DebtMany people today live under the weight of debt from loans or credit cards. As harmful as financial debt is, there is 21 that is even more damaging—emotional debt.Dr. James Richards states that emotional debt occurs when we experience emotional pain 22 remains unresolved. If the pain is not dealt with, it will affect our entire lives. Throughout the years, we have chances for happiness, love and success. But unresolved pain can emerge and cause us to respond in ways that aren’t reasonable, 23 (result) in destroyed relationships and lost opportunities.When we have a tendency 24 (respond) inappropriately, we often hurt those around us. Unfortunately, our unsettled problems sometimes become too much for them to handle and cause them to abandon the relationship.People with destructive patterns 25 check their lives for signs of unresolved pain, for your emotional debt can come from various forms of past unfair, cruel or violent treatment or neglect. The fact is 26 you are probably holding onto painful memories of controlling parents or very demanding teachers. Any negative emotion that you have controlled over the year can come back to cause harm 27 you least expect it.Recognize your feelings, but don’t focus on them all the time, because acknowledging and challenging your pain is difficult, but recognizing it is the first step 28 dealing with it. Admit you are angry about the past, and discuss it with someone you trust, or write it down because this will ease some of the danger and hatred you 29 (keep) bottled up for years. Refuse to be a victim and accept responsibility for dealing with your painful past because this puts you in charge and limits the power your emotions have over you.Take specific steps to resolve your emotional debt now 30 30 deal with the consequences later.

Note that there is one word more than you need.(A)A. claimedB. cuisineC. securingD. addingE. fuelingF. madeG. opponent H. seed I. historic J. tough K. venueZheng Secures Historic Tennis Gold for ChinaChina’s women’s ace Zheng Qinwen has carved her name in tennis history after winning the country’s first singles Olympic gold medal in Paris on Saturday, 31 her meteoric career rise with another major accolade(荣誉).China’s world No. 7 Zheng was the sixth 32 in the 64-draw Olympic tournament. She lived up to her favorite status in the final against Donna Vekic of Croatia at the Roland Garros Stadium, beating her 21st-ranked 33 four times while conceding only one of her service games to prevail 6-2,6-3 at the iconic site of the red clay Grand Slam to win the gold medal.It was only China’s second Olympic gold medal in tennis, following a women’s doubles title won by Li Ting and Sun Tiantian at Athens 2004, and the first in singles.After 34 the win with a forehand winner down the line, Zheng lay down on her back to rousing cheers across the Court Philippe-Chatrier, soaking up the 35 moment for her own career and for the sport’s profile in China.It was the second Olympic tennis medal won by the Chinese delegation in Paris, after mixed doubles pair Zhang Zhizhen and Wang Xinyu 36 a silver medal in Friday’s final, which was won by Czech team Katerina Siniakova and Tomas Machac at the same 37 .“Nothing can describe my feeling right now, it’s unreal. I’ve always been hoping to get a medal for China. Finally I 38 it.” an emotional Zheng said during the on-court interview.“I did everything I could. I think my country will be proud of me, I feel proud of myself. The success is for all my team members, my families and whoever supported me, not just for me.I just fought every single match. There were two matches that I almost lost on my way to the final, especially 0-4 down in the second set against Iga (Swiatek) in the semis. I feel the energy of all the support, knowing that I play for my country. I just never gave up and tried to find every single solution,” Zheng said of her 39 path to success.And for the celebration? The 21-year-old native of Hubei province just wants to join her family and enjoy some home. 40“I haven’t thought about it yet. For sure to eat some Chinese food, after having eaten chicken and rice every day here, nothing much of flavor,” she said with a grin.III. Reading Comprehension (45%)Section A 15%Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.As newborns, we enter the world by inhaling. In leaving, we exhale. (In fact, in many languages the word “exhale” is synonymous with “ 41 .”) Breathing is so central to life that it is no wonder humankind long ago noted its value not only to survival but to the 42 of the body and mind and began controlling it to improve well-being.As early as the first millennium B.C., both the Tao religion of China and Hinduism placed importance on a “vital principle” that flows through the body, a kind of energy or internal breath. The Chinese call this energy qi, and Hindus call it prana (one of the key concepts of yoga). A little later, in the West, the Greek term pheuma and the Hebrew term ruah both 43 the breath and the divine presence.44 for how to modulate(调节) breathing and influence health and mind appeared centuries ago as well. Pranayama(“breath retention”) yoga was the first to build a theory around respiratory(呼吸的) control, holding that 45 breathing was a way to increase longevity.In more modern times, German psychiatrist Johannes Heinrich Schultz developed “autogenic training” in the 1920s as a method of 46 . The approach is partly 47 slow and deep breathing and is probably still the best-known breathing technique for relaxation in the West today.Yoga and meditation have inspired many of the breathing exercises used today. The 48 of controlled respiration were first theoretically suggested centuries ago by the practitioners of pranayama yoga.What is the best time to 49 slow-breathing techniques? One is during occasional episodes of 50 —for example, before taking an exam, competing in a sporting event or even attending a routine meeting at work. These exercises may also help when insomnia strikes. In 2012 Suzanne M. Bertisch of Harvard Medical School and her colleagues reported, based on survey data, that more than 20 percent of American insomniacs do these breathingexercises to have a 51 sleep.But respiratory techniques do not work only for acute stresses or sleep problems; they can also relieve chronic anxiety. They are particularly 52 in people with psychiatric disorders such as phobias(恐惧症), depression and post-traumatic stress disorder(创伤后压力). In 2015 Stefania Doria and her colleagues at Fatebenefratellie Oftalmico Hospital in Milan, Italy, offered 10 training sessions to 69 patients with anxiety or depressive disorders. The rescarchers observed a significant 53 in symptoms at the end of the sessions.But why confine breathing techniques to 54 emotions? It is also worth applying them during pleasurable moments, to take the time to appreciate and remember them. In short, one can pause and breathe for 55 as well as to calm down.41. A. changing B. recovering C. dying D. destroying42. A. strengthening B. maintaining C. building D. functioning43. A. dealt with B. referred to C. led to D. consisted of44. A. Policies B. Recommendations C. Clues D. Habits45. A. labored B. slowed C. deepened D. controlled46. A. relaxation B. development C. illustration D. communication47.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)It’s normal for young children to cheat when they’re playing board games. As they grow older, they realize that the fun is actually in taking part in the game, not necessarily in winning it. By the time they reach their teens, they have usually learned not to cheat. Sadly, this was not the case for a player in a national board game championship held annually in the US. The player wanted to win so much that he turned to cheating.The board game was Scrabble. In the game, players have to make words from individual letters on small squares called “tiles,” and then put the words on a board. Two of the most useful tiles in the game are the blanks, which are tiles without any letters on them. A blank isn’t worth any points, but a player can use it to replace any letter of the alphabet.The cheater in this particular competition was a 15-year-old boy from Orlando, Florida. He had surprisedorganizers in the early stages of the competition by beating some of the best players, despite the fact that he had never played in competitions before. This made some of the other players suspicious, including the man who caught him, 43-year-old Arthur Moore. Moore had already played the boy the day before, and Moore had won the game, although the boy had had both of the blank tiles. In Scrabble, before a new game starts, the players put the tiles from the previous game back into a small bag. This time, Moore had a good look at the tiles on the table before he and his opponent put them in the bag to start the game. He was not surprised to see that the two blanks were together on the table in front of the boy. As the two players were putting the tiles into the bag. Moore watched the boy’s left hand. He saw the boy pick up the two blanks, and put his hand under the table. This was the signal for Moore to call one of the organizers and accuse the boy of cheating.When the boy was taken away for questioning, he admitted to taking the two blanks during the game and hiding them under the table. As a result of his cheating, the competition director disqualified him and banned him from playing in the competition again.56. According to the passage, why do young children cheat in board games?A. They are eager to win.B. They dislike the games.C. They don’t know what cheating is.D. They don’t want to take part in the games.57. Why are the two blank tiles most useful in Scrabble?A. They are the most obvious tiles in the game.B. Players can decide how many points they are worth.C. Players earn more points if they leave the tiles unused.D. They can be used when players don’t have the right letter.58. The word “suspicious” (in paragraph 3) most probably means “ ”.A. supportiveB. disappointedC. mistrustfulD. honoured59. How did the boy cheat?A. By putting the tiles into his own bag.B. By hiding the blank tiles for future use.C. By cooperating with his opponent secretly.D. By lying that he had never played the game.BEssential oils can have a major impact on your mood and health. “When you apply an oil to your skin, it affects your physical state. When you inhale them, it affects your mental state,” says the “grande dame” of aromatherapy Jeanne Rose, author of The Aromatherapy Book: Applications and Inhalations.A few drops of eucalyptus on your skin will help heal a burn and smelling a pine tree might make you think of childhood Christmases. You can put a few drops on a tissue, or add some to water to spritz around the room or use in a diffuser (喷雾器) or vaporizer.Be very careful, however, when applying oils to the skin. Always dilute them in another oil, like palm coconut or olive to prevent burns or allergic reactions.“A rule of thumb is 15 drops per one ounce of cream, oil or lotion,” says Sylla Sheppard-Hanger, the founder and director of Atlantic institute of Aromatherapy in Tampa, Florida.Here’s the oil to reach for when you need to:Digest a big meal: A few drops of diluted peppermint. “It calms down the digestive system,” Rose says.Forget it’s freezing outside: “Conifer oils, like pine, black spruce, cedar and Christmas fir, can help combat seasonal affective disorder when inhaled,” Rose says. Citrus oils like orange or tangerine, which are reminders of summertime, are also good.Settle down after a big party: Sweet marjoram and lavender are sedatives. “They’ll knock your kids right out,” Sheppard-Hanger says.Get out of bed on a dark, cold morning: Peppermint, or any mint really, can provide a morning jolt when inhaled.Kill germs: Spray citrus oils or tree oils like pine, to help clean the air during sickness. Decongest a nose: Eucalyptus, spruce or rosemary work for this. Try inhaling a few drops on a tissue to help with clogged nasal passages due to a cold.60. What kind of readers is likely to buy The Aromatherapy Book: Applications and Inhalations?A. Gardeners providing related raw materials for manufacturers of essential oils.B. Researchers dedicated to inventing new essential oils to keep people in good health.C. Common people hoping to improve health condition with essential oils.D. Psychotherapist seeking treatments for serious mental and physical disorders.61. What is the appropriate way of using essential oils?A. Spritz the oil directly around a room.B. Mix them with cream in proportion.C. Smell the fragrance from the bottle.D. Apply oils to treat skin allergy.62. The oils that can relieve your symptom of a bad cold are .A. peppermint oilsB. conifer oilsC. citrus oilsD. spruce oilsCMany early approaches to language technology—and particularly translation—got stuck in a conceptual dead end: the rules-based approach. In translation, this meant trying to write rules to analyse the text of a sentence in the language of origin, breaking it down into a sort of abstract “interlanguage” and rebuilding it according to the rules of the target language. These approaches showed early promise. But language is full of ambiguities and exceptions, so such systems were hugely complicated and easily broke down when tested on sentences beyond the simple set they had been designed for.Nearly all language technologies began to get a lot better with the application of statistical methods, often called a “brute force” approach. This relies on software scanning vast amounts of data, looking for patterns and learning from precedent. For example, in parsing language (breaking it down into its grammatical components), the software learns from large bodies of text that have already been parsed by humans. It uses what it has learned to make its best guess about a previously unseen text. In machine translation, the software scans millions of words already translated by humans, again looking for patterns. In speech recognition, the software learns from a body of recordings and the transcriptions made by humans.Thanks to the growing power of processors, falling prices for data storage and, most crucially, the explosion in available data, this approach eventually bore fruit. Mathematical techniques that had been known for decades cameinto their own, and big companies with access to enormous amounts of data were ready to benefit.The final advance, which began only about five years ago, came with the arrival of deep learning through digital neural networks (DNNs). These are often claimed to have qualities similar to those of the human brain: “neurons” are connected in software, and connections can become stronger or weaker in the process of learning. But Nils Lenke, head of research for a language technology company, explains matter-of-factly that “DNNs are just another kind of mathematical model,” the basis of which had been well understood for decades. What changed was the hardware being used.Almost by chance, DNN researchers discovered that the graphical processing units (GPUs) used to produce graphics in applications like video games were also brilliant at handling neural networks. The technique has already produced big leaps in quality for all kinds of deep learning, including decoding handwriting, recognising faces and classifying images. Now they are helping to improve all manner of language technologies, often bringing enhancements of up to 30%. That has shifted language technology from usable at a pinch to really rather good. But so far no one has quite worked out what will move it on from merely good to reliably great.63. According to the passage, which of the following is a problem of the rules-based approach?A. Rules are difficult to identify in some languages.B. It is impossible to find all the rules in a language.C. The rules are often misinterpreted by researchers.D. There are always rules too abstract to understand64. has a part to play in enabling the “brute force” approach to gradually bear fruit.A. The increasing amount of dataB. The falling prices of scanning softwareC. The availability of recordings and transcriptsD. The wider knowledge people have of language65. Which of the following is Nils Lenke most likely to agree with about DNNs?A. They are a big breakthrough.B. They depend more on hardware.C. They are not innovative by nature.D. They haven’t been scientifically proved.66. What does the writer imply about GPUs?A. They are inferior to DNNs in their quality of deep learning.B. They have made language technology reliably greater than ever.C. They have achieved limited success regarding language technology.D. They help enhance language technologies by means of image classification.Section C 8%Directions:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. This is a trend that is only expected to continue.B. But if we wish to keep any real measure of biodiversity on the planet, we may have to lean on zoos far more than many people realize.C. Those species that are held in zoos are already protected from any such events and trends.D. Many others are already extinct in the wild and only survive thanks to populations kept in captivity.E. Climate change has harmed over half mammal species on the endangered species list.F. However, despite their high numbers in collections around the world, they are the most threatened mammalian group on the planet.The World Needs ZoosZoos play an important role in the world for conservation and education. They are particularly important for endangered species. Many animals are critically endangered and may go extinct in the wild, but in zoos, they are going strong. 67 Even those critical of zoos often recognize that it is better to have species preserved somewhere than lose them altogether. In fact, species that are common can also come under serious threat before people realize it.Take the ring-tailed lemur of Madagascar for example. These lemurs are almost common in zoos as they breed well in captivity and the public are fond of them. 68 A recent survey suggests that up to 95 percent of the wild populations have been lost since 2000. This means that the remaining individuals are at serious risk. One bad year or a new disease could wipe out those which still remain in the wild.Such trends are not isolated. The giraffe is another very common species in zoos. Unlike the lemurs, giraffes are widespread in the countries across much of sub-Saharan Africa. Yet giraffe populations have gone down by a third in the last thirty years. While less dramatic than the drop in lemur numbers, this is obviously a major loss and again, whole populations (which some scientists think are of unique subspecies) are on the verge of extinction.69 Ongoing and future issues from climate change can have unexpected effects on wildlife. It will become more difficult for conservationists to predict which species might be at risk. As it is, experts are struggling to continue monitoring the species that are already known to be vulnerable, so it is easy to see why common species might be overlooked. People might not take the great loss of local species seriously on the assumption that these animals are heavily populated elsewhere, but unfortunately that is not always the case.There will, I suspect, always be resistance to the argument for keeping animals in captivity and I will not defend the zoos that are badly managed and in desperate need of improvement or closure. 70 If even common species can lose their population in only several years, it may be too late to save them in the wild.第Ⅱ卷（共25分）IV. Summary Writing 10%Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. Are we greening our cities, or just greenwashing them?Architecture and urban design is chasing a green fever dream. Everywhere you look, there are plans for “sustainable” buildings, futuristic eco-cities and aquaponic (复合养殖)farms on the roof, each promising to add a green touch to the modern city.All of these are surely good ideas at some level. They are trying to repair some of the damage our lifestyle has done to the planet. But, despite the rhetoric of reuniting the city with nature, today’s green urban dream is too often about bringing a technologically controlled version of nature into the city and declaring the problem solved, rather than looking at the deeper causes of our environmental and urban problems.One of the most striking examples is Apple’s “spaceship” campus now under construction in Silicon Valley. Though it seems to be sustainable and energy efficient—80 percent of its 175-acre site is preserved for landscaping, it is by any measure a huge, expensive and massively resource-intensive project. As a suburban white-collar workplace, it must include vast garages for 13,000 Apple employees. Thus, it will leave no smaller environmental footprint than a traditional office park.Designing a perfect green building or eco-city isn’t enough to save the world. Although our buildings, like our cars, have been inefficient environmentally, architecture isn’t directly responsible for humanity’s disastrous environmental impacts. An economic system based on the destruction of nature is the real problem. No green building can help us repair the ecological damage we have caused, nor can any number of aquaponic farms bring us back to the real nature.Instead of adding “nature” to the urban lifestyle, architects may work to design better relationships between our cities and nature and to promote just relationships between the people in them.V.

In the beautiful city of San Francisco, it was spring. The flowers were blooming, the sun was shining, and the birds were singing their beautiful song. In a nearby basketball stadium.there was a basketball championship going on. Jesse like his elder brother Timmy was one of the best in the competition; he scored most of his team's points, but his team did not like that. Jesse never passed the ball. His coach always told him that it was a team game and not a one- man show.“Jesse, pass the ball more," insisted Coach Tyler.“Coach, I am good; I can win this whole tournament by myself if I want to,“ responded Jesse.“Jesse, you need to learn to respect the game!” sai d Coach Tyler."I don't need to respect anything；' said Jesse.“Okay then, and I don't need you in my team, Jesse. Get out of here!' said Coach Tyler.“Fine!” replied Jesse angrily.At school Jesse's friends Zack, Christopher, and Aaron were trying to calm down Jesse, who was still angry about what happened the previous day. Jesse was usually good in school, but after he was kicked out of the team, his attitude changed. He started doing poorly; he got in trouble and failed classes. Jesse tried to join other basketball teams, but he could not because their list was filled or he was too young or too old. Finally, Jesse was recommended a team by Zack.Five months later…Jesse started passing the ball more, and lie still averaged 26.4 points per game. Jesse enjoyed how he played, but he did not like that he was coining off the bench （替补）. Jesse proved that he was a star on the court, but still the coach said that lie was better corning off the bench. "Coach, I think I have showed that I can start next game,” said Jesse calmly. "No, Jesse, you are not good enough,“ responded the coach. "But…"said Jesse before the coach interrupted him. "No, Jesse!” Jesse started getting mad. "Coach, you need to start me. I’m the best in this team ," said Jesse arrogantly, "Jesse, how about you just leave?” shouted the coach.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Is it because they are lazy? Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by Noah Webster(1758 — 1843). He was a teacher who reformed (改革) English to make American identity (特征) stronger. Linguists (语言学家) celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year.After the Revolutionary War (1775 — 1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British dictionaries. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sounded. He used “subway” instead of British word “underground”. Some other examples are “soccer” and “football”, “fall” and “autumn”.Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定义) preposterous(unreasonable), he wrote: “A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.” Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828. He also added local words.His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity (统一) and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.“He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a book about Webster. “He at last brought us together through our language.”4．Which is NOT true about Webster’s dictionary?A．It has local words in it.B．It is a 70,000-word dictionary.C．All the words are spelled without “u”.D．Its words are in American-style spelling.5．What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Depend on.B．Trust in.C．Put up with.D．Give up. 6．What do people think of Webster’s dictionary?A．It is the only dictionary that Americans still use today.B．It helped to bring Americans together besides its cultural influence.C．It has no influence on the development of American English.D．It helped to make American English more useful than British English.7．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．The development of the British English.B．American English is better than British English.C．Noah Webster added local words to the dictionary.D．Noah Webster wrote an American English dictionary and reformed English.COne August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey. Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp (黄蜂) nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—— to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him.Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know what that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike (话筒), trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock (休克). Just then he reached for the radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.8．It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when _______.A．there are huge noisesB．strangers are approachingC．the air is filled with food smellD．the hottest season comes around9．Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would _______.A．have no after-effectsB．suffer from sharper painC．surely lose his lifeD．become more sensitive10．Allen failed at his first attempt to send his message to the mini-bus center because _______.A．he was unable to speak clearlyB．his radio equipment was poorC．he was in a state of shockD．no one was on duty11．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Allen, A Helpless DriverB．Wasps, Bloody KillersC．A Race Against DeathD．War Against WaspsDArmy ants are mainly distributed in South America and Africa and mostly live in the Amazon River basin. They like to live in groups and generally one or two million in a group. They are migratory, have no fixed on the move. When encountering obstacles such as gaps, army ants are able to connect their bodies to each other and build a bridge for large groups of ants to pass through, saving crawling distance. The bridge can be built and removed very quickly, in seconds.Christopher Reid of the University of Sydney’s Insect Behaviour and Ecology Laboratory, said that when studying the ant bridge, he initially assumed that once the ant bridge was built the two end positions of the bridge would be fixed, and the bridge itself would be relatively stationary (不动的).However, after observation, it was found that the ant bridge would constantly change according to the army ants’ knowledge of the outside world. The ant bridge can move slowly from the original position, increasing the number of ants in the bridge, extending the length of the bridge, so that other ants may save a lot of efforts by using the ant bridge instead of taking other routes. In this way, it can continuously compress the distance to the target area.Meanwhile, the researchers have also found that the changing ant bridge does not always achieve the shortest distance. When the bridge is extended to a certain extent, the number of ants involved in the construction of the ant bridge will not continue to increase, and the length of the bridge will stop growing.Researchers believe that army ants use the best methods in the construction of bridges. Since the ants involved in building the bridge are unable to participate in other work, the colony stops putting in more ants as soon as it finds that the number of ants put into extending the bridge is out of balance with the number of ants needed for other jobs.12．What is mainly introduced about army ants in paragraph 1?A．Their migration.B．Their distribution.C．Their living habits.D．Their hunting targets.13．What did the research find about the bridge built by army ants ?A．It becomes longer constantly.B．It keeps unchanged once built.C．It achieves the shortest distance.D．It is adjusted according to the needs.14．What does the underlined word “compress” mean in paragraph 3?A．Reduce.B．Calculate.C．Neglect.D．Judge.15．What is the writing purpose of the text ?A．To stress the importance of cooperation.B．To explain army ants’ incredible strength.C．To show army ants’ collective intelligence.D．To indicate the harmony between nature and human.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
福建省莆田市第二十五中学2024-2025学年高三上学期期中考试英语试题
福建省莆田市第二十五中学2024-2025学年高三上学期期中考试英语试题一、阅读理解The Best Caves in The WorldHang Son Doong, VietnamNatural caves don’t come much larger than Hang Son Doong, close to the border between Laos and Vietnam. This cave possesses the largest cross-section of any known cave on the planet, a vast area that is difficult to describe. Supposedly, a Boeing 747 could fly through without damaging its wings, but that doesn’t really do justice to the vastness of Hang Son Doong. The stalactites (钟乳石) here are pretty massive too, with some reaching up to 80 metres.Waitomo Caves, New ZealandGlowworms (萤火虫) are there, as far as the eye can see. Okay, not literally, but the Waitomo Cave system on New Zealand’s North Island is best-known for the fluorescent fauna that light up the walls, giving it the not-particularly-creative but completely acceptable “Glowworm Caves” nickname. They are more accessible than other caves on this list, with rafting and adventure tours available to those looking for something a little more thrilling.Mammoth Cave, the USAIf you have certain expectations from somewhere called “Mammoth Cave”, that is entirely understandable. Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the world’s longest known cave system, an incredible 420 miles of underground wonder. That’s twice as long as the next longest, by the way, although it isn’t unusual for the USA to go all out on such things.Reed Flute (芦笛) Cave, China Named after the reeds that grow outside, which are used to make flutes, obviously, the Reed Flute Cave’s walls are covered with inscriptions from centuries gone by—if evidence was needed that people have been paying attention to this place for a long old time. The inside part of the cave is also lit up by multicoloured lights, giving it a real otherworldly theme that adds weight to the nickname.1．What is special about Hang Son Doong?A．It was once a base of a factory.B．It is the deepest cave in the world.C．It has the highest stalactites in the world.D．It owns the largest cross-section in the world.2．Which of the following can be much easier to enter?A．Hang Son Doong.B．Waitomo Caves.C．Mammoth Cave.D．Reed Flute Cave.3．Which country probably has the longest cave system in the world?A．Vietnam.B．New Zealand.C．The USA．D．China.Food vlogger Julia Pacheco undertook an ambitious challenge to see if she could sustain herself on just $ 10 for an entire week, covering all meals from breakfast to dinner. The aim was not only to test the feasibility (可行性) of such a tight budget but also to explore how it would affect her overall well-being by the end of the week.Julia ’s journey began with a strategic shopping trip to Walmart, where she carefully selected key ingredients to maximize both her budget and nutritional intake. This initial phase set the tone for the week, showcasing the importance of planning in budget-friendly eating.Julia ’s grocery list included affordable staples (主食) like pasta, brown rice, mixed vegetables, bread, lentils, pinto beans, and some fresh produce such as apples, tomatoes, onions, and garlic. These items were chosen for their versatility (多用途) and nutritional value. The total cost of these groceries perfectly hit the $10 mark, setting the stage for a week of simple yet thoughtful meal planning. This careful selection was crucial as it laid the foundation for her entire week’s living.For the first five days, the mum’s breakfast routine consisted of oatmeal flavoured with apple. This choice was not only cost-effective but also provided a warm, hearty start to her day. On the last two days, Julia switched things up by having boiled eggs on toast, adding variety within budget. These breakfast options demonstrated that even on a tight budget, one could enjoy a wholesome and satisfying start to the day.By cooking large portions and storing them for later, she minimized waste and ensured she always had a meal ready, reducing the desire to snack unnecessarily. This approach also highlighted the importance of planning and preparation when working with a limited budget.Throughout the week, she felt full and content, proving that it’s possible to maintain a healthy diet even on a tight budget. Julia’s experience showed the potential to eat well with limitedfinancial resources.4．Why did Julia undertake the $10 challenge?A．To see if she could survive on a strict budget.B．To develop budget-friendly eating habits.C．To test the quality of food at Walmart.D．To promote a new way of living.5．What can we know about the grocery list that Julia chose?A．It fitted her budget and nutrition.B．It was full of her favourite staples.C．It was too complicated.D．It was out of a random choice.6．How did Julia manage to reduce waste during her challenge?A．By skipping breakfast.B．By preparing less staples.C．By cooking more food each time.D．By snacking unnecessarily.7．How was Julia’ s overall experience during the challenge?A．she struggled with her budget.B．she found it tough to continue.C．she ate well and felt satisfied.D．she suffered hunger sometimes.We all notice bright colors. People who choose to go eye-catching, whether they express themselves through clothes or accessories (配饰), hear everything from “No one is going to miss you at the party” to “I would never have the courage to wear that.” But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected.Adam D．Pazda and Christopher A．Thorstenson (2019) examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma (色度). They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and outgoing than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality.Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors strengthened viewer perspective of openness and extraversion (外向), but not other personalities. These observations are important because some job responsibilities capitalize on some of the personalities inferred through brightcolors.Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal nature: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personality qualities. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service as fields where extraverts thrive (繁荣). Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing.Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the limitations of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality differently in non-Western countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as at odds with social norms in other cultures. The practical takeaway, at least in the United States, appears to be that bright colors, like the peacock’s tail, will get you noticed. But depending on your goals, consider tailoring your chroma to the circumstances, personally and professionally.8．What is the focus of the study mentioned in the passage?A．The cultural implications of high chroma colors.B．The influence of clothing on viewer perceptions.C．The connection between clothing and job suitability.D．The impact of high chroma colors on first impression.9．What does the underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Draw on.B．Approve of.C．Subscribe to.D．Dig up. 10．Which might be a limitation of the study?A．The culturally specific findings.B．The unmonitored research process.C．The outdated data analysis methods.D．The relatively insufficient theoretical basis. 11．What is the practical advice given by the author in the last paragraph?A．Reserve bright colors for social events.B．Always wear bright colors to be noticed.C．Avoid bright colors in professional settings.D．Use bright colors strategically based on your goals.In recent decades, experiments have begun to catch up with what people who work closely with animals have always known—that animals have an inner life, and consciousness isn’t uniquely human.Consciousness is a concept that is extremely difficult to define. There have been many attempts: is it awareness, or awareness of that awareness, or self-awareness instead? But a useful working definition might be that it is any kind of subjective experience, ranging from how we perceive the external world to our inner thoughts and emotions. Because you can never be inside another living being’s head, questions of consciousness are both hard to answer and open to bias (偏见).Findings of experiments inspired a group of scientists in April to write The New York Declaration Animal Consciousness, which now has over 300 supporters. It states that there is “strong scientific support for conscious experience” in mammals and birds and “at least a realistic possibility of conscious experience” in fish and other species.That animals have some form of inner life must surely be self-evident to many people who live or work with them, just as I would guess that most carers of newborn babies don’t see these infant as senseless automatic machines. The experiences of people with thorough knowledge of either have historically, been viewed as subjective and biased, as emotional connection tends to influence logical reasoning. Our consciousness leads us to over-empathize with others we cannot truly know, the argument goes.But, as the biologist Marc Bekoff wrote, if we humans have something, then other animals are likely to have it too. I personally feel that attempts to divorce emotion, feeling and experience from how we see animals can be as unscientific. For too long, we assumed that humans are unique and animals don’t feel pain or emotions the way that we do, a convenient but cruel null hypothesis (无效假设), when we could have started from the position that perhaps they do instead. 12．Which is a key characteristic of consciousness according to the passage?A．It means any emotional experience of humans.B．It refers to individual’s subjective experience.C．It is all about how we perceive the external world.D．It refers to a common quality shared by all animals.13．Why are the carers of newborn babies mentioned?A．To show that animals are just as conscious as human babies.B．To help readers understand why animals possess consciousness.C．To argue against the view of people living or working with animals.D．To explain why animal carers would assume animals have an inner life.14．What might be the author’s attitude towards Marc Bckoff’s assumption about animal emotions?A．Doubtful.B．Objective.C．Supportive.D．Uncertain. 15．which can be the best title of the passage?A．Consciousness Improved Through PracticeB．Questions of Human Consciousness AnsweredC．Factors Affecting Animal Consciousness DiscoveredD．Conscious Experience Found in Certain Animal SpeciesRejection creates an emotional roller coaster. We feel the sadness, anger, and loss of the person who rejects us, and also our self-respect is hurt. 16 While there is no quick fix, the following suggestions can help you overcome the confusion and ease the pain of rejection.17 People tend to avoid their pain. There is no healing without feeling your feelings. There is no healing without pain. You must go through the feelings to heal. Let yourself feel the loss and the pain and express your difficult emotions. You should know that you are strong enough and can face pain with courage to heal and grow.Take it one moment at a time. It takes time to heal and for the hurt to lessen. In the abyss (深渊), it is hard to think too far, so be patient during this difficult period. Unfortunately, today, we live in the fast lane. We don’t have patience and we want things to happen immediately. Patience is a lost art. 18Develop gratitude. Gratitude is cure for pain. Pain is about what we are missing. Gratitude is about what we are having. If we focus on the negative, we will see the negatives. 19 Those who show gratitude, develop a positive attitude, and appreciate their situation minimize their pain and create more happy moments in their lives.Getting over a rejection is hard. 20 It is there to make you grow. Everyone heals from rejection at their own pace in their own way. We must sympathize with ourselves and acceptthat reality. It’s important to take your time to deal with rejection and to use the practices suggested to heal and move on to the new opportunities life presents us. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.A．Feel it to heal it.B．Don’t take it too personally.C．However, your pain won’t last forever.D．So, even if you are broken, keep busy.E．With time, the sense of loss and hurt will ease.F．This is why getting over a rejection is challenging.G．If we focus on the positive, we will see the positives.二、完形填空A young woman, swept out to sea while swimming at a beach in China, has been rescued37 hours later, having drifted (漂流) more than 50 miles in the pacific ocean. 21 as an Australian national in her 20s, the woman’s 22 ended thanks to the combined efforts of China’s coast guard and two ships.The dramatic rescue began after the woman’s friend reported her 23 Monday night while they were swimming at the beach.

第I卷第一部分：听力 (略)第二部分：阅读理解（共两节）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约)mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends. And they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination, I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face, Learn to be happy, and think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.21.

They wanted to buy lottery tickets (彩票). The tickets cost only $ 0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $ 90 million .That was the second largest lottery jackpot (积累奖金) in history .More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80．The chance of winning was onein 9.6 million, but that little chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were sold at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second .Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they’ll probably never have.But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized (合法化的) gambling （赌博） . Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to comefrom new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programsfor senior citizens.

The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules.

Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem of getting used to making so many choices.

The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their school.You now know what open education is．Some of its good points and bad points have been explained.
