If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often we convey to our children either by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance meets our approval(赞许).Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played excitedly. He seldom answered questions — he might be wrong. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn’t made a mistake.I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included her. But even enthusiastic, loving Mary was baffled by this little boy who feared he might make a mistake.Then one morning we were working math problems. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left he children with Mary. But when I returned. Donnie was in tears. He’d missed the third problem.Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister(小筒)filled with pencils.“Look, Donnie,” she said. “I’ve got something to show you.” She removed the pencils and placed them on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie?” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstromand me. See how the erasers are worn? That’s because we make mistakes too. Lots of them. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you must learn to do, too.”She kissed him and continued: “I’ll leave one of these pencils on your desk so you’ll remember tha t everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer(少许)of a smile.The Pencil became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Anne’s frequent encouragement and praise for even Donnie’s small successes. gradually persuaded him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.1.Why did Donnie rarely finish his work?A.Because he seldom answered those difficult questionsB.Because he spent too much time checking his answersC.Because he couldn’t work together with his classmatesD.Because he never did his work until the very last minute2.The word “baffled” in Paragraph 3 most probably means.A.encouragedB.impressedC.satisfiedD.confused3.Which of the following words best describe Mary Anne as she is shown in the article?A.Patient and inspiringB.Creative and modestC.Determined and strictD.Considerate and proud4.The story was written mainly to .A.tell us who influenced Donnie greatlyB.sing the praises of Mary AnneC.give a life lesson about failureD.show us how to use erasers3、The pounding(重击声) was driving Edward crazy.A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereo loud enough for the whole building to hear.On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairs and politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building. The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and s aid, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. The next day all was quiet, andEdward continued to be pleased with himself. The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching band was playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again.Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did with rude neighbors-grin and bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else are you going to do?In Los Angles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years.The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment, she could always move. When you’re in prison, you don’t have that option.1.The man living below where Edward lived was______.A.a deaf manB.the owner of the houseC.a tenantD.an old neighbor2.Which of the following words can be replaced by the underlined word in Paragraph Four?A.rebuiltB.accumulatedC.estimatedD.decreased3.The woman killed her neighbor because______.A.he ignored her advice repeatedlyB.she could not stand his playing the guitar too loudC.she could not put up with him any longerD.he played the drums too often4.The author writes the last paragraph to prove that ______.A.being in prison means the loss of freedomB.grinning and bearing it is the best policyC.Edward should follow the example of the womanD.the woman was right to kill her neighbor4、While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings inChina such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the PerformingArts,manyexcellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu,a 49-year-old Chinese architect,wonthe 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize—which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize inarchitecture—on February 28.He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities.Manyvisitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types.The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages.He asked theworkers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls,roofs and corridors.Thiscreation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).Wang’s works show a deep underst anding of modern architecture and a good knowledgeof traditions.Through such a balance,he had created a new type of Chinese architecture,saidTadao Ando,the winner of the1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums."That is onlyevidence that traditions once existed," he said."Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions.They think tradition meansold things from the past.In fact,tradition also refers to the things that have been developingand that are still being created, " he said."Today,many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather thanfocusing on Chinese traditions.Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowingwhat they really are," said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise,the recreation oftraditions would be artificial and empty,he said.1.Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.A.following the latest world trendB.getting international recognitionC.working harder than ever beforeD.relying on foreign architects2.What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?A.Its hilly environment.B.Its large size.C.Its unique style.D.Its diverse functions.3.What made Wang’s architectural d esign a success?A.The mixture of different shapes.B.The balance of East and West.C.The use of popular techniques.D.The harmony of old and new.4.What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?A.Spread them to the world.B.Preserve them at museums.C.Teach them in universities.D.Recreate them in practice.5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But, we also know that resistance is important if we ’ re ever going to find a workable middle ground with our phones–and a recent has served up another reason tostrengthen our resolve.Here it is: when you pick up your phone while doing anything mentally challenging, you'rehandicapping your brain ’ s ability to recharge and performance predictably decreases.That ’ s the conclusion of a study that putroughly 400 college students to task solvingchallenging word puzzles. When they were about halfway through, the researchers allowed mostof the students to take a break either using their phones, using a computer or reading a printcircular. Other students were told to just keep on working without any sort of break.The results showed that the students who took a break with their phones were the worstperformers of all the groups. They took 19% longer to finish the tasks and they solved 22% fewerword-problems than all the other groups combined. In fact, the cell- phone group’ s efficiency andprocessing speed was about the same as the group that took no break.The reason offered by the researchers isn’ t merely because digital devices are inherentlyengaging(迷人的 ), but because our smartphones are attention gates into so many otherattention-catching areas, each pulling our mental energy in different directions.This research stresses that we ignored the energy reduction from using our smartphones, andthat we were over-confident about what our brains can handle. We also overlooked the emotionalconnection we'd developed with our phones. It's no longer just a device. It's a companion.2020届高考二轮英语专练之自我检测(九)Word版含答案“ It is important to know the costs associated with reaching for this device during every spareminute, ” Kurtzberg added. “ We assume it ’ s no different from any butotherthebreakphonemay carry increasing levels of distraction that make it difficult to return focused attention to work–tasks. ”1.What does “ resolve ”ragraphinPa 1 referto? A.Finding a workable phone. C.Making full use of phones. B.Resisting using phones. D.Upgrading personal phones.2.The underlined word “ handicappingA.strengtheningB.performing ” in Paragraph 2 probably means ___________.C.weakeningD.changing3.What can we learn from the research?A.There are two groups of students in the research.B.All the students can not take a break in the research.C.The cell-phone group did best in solving the puzzles.D.Students have to complete word puzzles before the break.4.What ’ s the main idea of the Paragraph 6?A.The phone is no longer favored by people.B.The phone is not as powerful as expected.C.People cannot connect emotionally with phones.D.People didn’ t fully understand the effect of phones.3、 The term“ smiling depression appearing”—happy to others while actually sufferingdepressive symptoms(症状 )— has become increasingly popular. In fact, many people who experience a low mood and a loss of pleasure in activities manage to hide their condition inthis way. And these people might be particularly easy to suicide.While smiling depression is not a technical term that psychologists use,it is certain to be depressed and manage to successfully mask the symptoms. The closest technical term for this condition is atypical“depression ” . It can be very hard to spot people suffering depression because they may seem like they don’ t have a reason to betheysadhave a job, an—apartment and maybe even children or a partner. They smile when you greet them and can carry pleasant conversations.In short, they often put on a mask to the outside world while leading seemingly normal and activelives. Inside, however, they often feel hopeless and down, sometimes even having thoughts aboutending it all.People with smiling depression put on a happy face to the outside world, but they canexperience a lift in their mood as a result of positive occurrences in their lives. Other symptoms ofthis condition include overeating, feeling a sense of heaviness in the arms and legs and being easilyhurt by criticism or rejection. They are also more likely to feel depressed in the evening and feel theneed to sleep longer than usual. With other forms of depression, however, your moodmight be worse in the morning and you might feel the need for less sleep than you arenormally used to.So how can they break this circle? A starting point needs to be known that this conditionactually exists and that it’ s serious. Only when we stop ignoring our problems because we thinkthey ’ re not seriousenough can we start making an actual difference. Then we can find purpose bytaking the attention away from ourselves and placing it onto something else. Feeling that our livesmatter is finally what gives us purpose and meaning—and this can make a significant differencefor our mental health and well-being.1.What do we know about people suffering smiling depression?A.They are wearing masks all day.B.They are difficult to get along with.C.They lead an abnormal life actually.D.Most of them commit suicide.2.What does the underlined word “ atypical ” in paragraph 2 mean?A.representativemonC.hiddenD.formalpared with smiling depression, people suffering other depressions______.A.may feel sleeplessB.feel more depressed in the eveningC.are tired of heaviness in the armsD.may eat more food4.What can we do to overcome smiling depression?A.Never talk about smiling depression and ignore its existence.B.Admit the condition and pay attention to ourselves.C.Value the importance of our life and enjoy it.D.Find out the problem and place it onto somebody else.4、 If there was a subject at school that made me anxious, it was science. Maybe that ’because in my tenth grade, I couldn ’ t understand my physics teacher ’ s instructions, causing meaccidentally set fire to the classroom. So, when my husband and I decided to home-school ourdaughters, we made a deal: he would teach science, while I would handle everything else. Butthat ’ s not how things have been going these past few weeks, since myusbandh has been too busyto teach the girls.Recently, while out on my morning hike before starting lessons, I noticed that the sky was abeautiful blue, and the air was filled with the sweet smell of flowers. That ’ s why I decided day ’ s lessons would be taught outside, although I remembered that my daughters hadn ’ t had science classes from my husband for a while.I returned to the house to get the girls ready. We headed up into the forest, settling ourselvesby a pond that rarely has any visitors. My daughter Saoirse started to pick up pond weeds andcatch frogs, while my other daughter Ula looked at me, waiting to be instructed. I handed her adrawing board and colored pencils. “ We wait,” I told her, “ and see if something comes along. In the meantime, just draw what ’ s around you. ”We worked for more than an hour, hardly speaking. A bird flew across the water, and thensettled in front of a fallen tree. I quickly told Ula, worried that she ’ d not seen the creatur had, and she started drawing it. An hour later, she finished her picture and I stared down at it. Shedrew the bird on her paper with amazing accuracy. But there was one other interesting fact aboutthis drawing: she also drew me, sitting beside her.I realized, as I stared at th is child ’ s drawing of us watching a bird, how I ’ d lived for 40 years, gathered 10 years of higher education, and never understood the foundation of science before thismoment. The foundation of science is a sense of wonder; it isn ’ t ngaboutwordsaccurately recitifrom a textbook.

K. Rowling turned another year older this week. Born Joanne Rowling, J. K. Rowling is, of course, her adopted pen name. Concerned that young boys might not go for a book written by a woman, her publisher suggested she come up with a pseudonym (笔名). So, upon combining her first initial with the initial of her paternal grandmother, Kathleen, the moniker J. K. Rowling was born.That's the interesting fact about Rowling, apparently, and she can only fool some of the people some of the time.Back in 2013, a crime novel appeared on the shelves. It was entitled The Cuckoo's Calling, and it was written by Robert Galbraith. According to Galbraith's bio, he spent "several years with the Royal Military Police" and the leading character of his novel, a fellow by the name of Cormoran Strike, "grew directly out of his own experiences and those of his military friends." Only, upon further review, he didn't! The book was actually penned by J. K. Rowling, who apparently wanted to try and sell a novel based on complete craftsmanship rather than on her name.Unfortunately, however, the wife of a partner in the media firm in whom she placed her trust, shared the secret on the social site. Rowling was angry and disappointed concerning the betraying of trust.I'm not sure whether I would be terribly upset for too long, if I were her. Previous to her being known as the author, Rowling saw her book listed 4,709th on Amazon. After the big revelation, her book jumped all the way to No. 1!More importantly, I think she got what she wanted. The novel has received nearly universal critical acclaim. Rowling passed her own test with flying colors. Clearly, she's pretty good at her craft!In any case, I personally look forward to reading her newest writing endeavor.(1).Why was Joanne Rowling advised to use a male pen name?A.It was a common practice.B.Her grandmother didn't like her name.C.The publisher wanted to give readers a surprise.D.Women writers might not be popular with boy readers.(2).Why didn't J. K. Rowling publish her new book under her name?A.She thought her name was out of date.B.Readers didn't like her books any longer.C.She intended to prove her writing ability.D.She thought a new name could make her more popular.(3).What does the underlined word "acclaim" in Paragraph 6 mean?A.Severe criticism.B.Great respect.C.High praise.D.Much sympathy.(4).What is the best title of the text?A.The Secret Is OutB.Her Door Is OpenC.The Book Is on SaleD.Her Effort Is in Vain3、Looking at Rosa Ferrigno's new suit, you could swear it was knitted (织)with regular yam(毛线).It's only when you touch it and hear the characteristic rustling(沙沙声)of plastic that you realize there's something special about it. In fact, the suit is made out of over 300 plastic grocery bags.Ferrigno, who once worked as a tailor before starting a family, got the idea for her unique hand-made suit last August. She was at a family picnic and saw one of the other guests carrying a purse made from re-purposed plastic bags. It attracted her, so she and her daughter searched forinstructions on how to make one on YouTube. The 75- year-old ended up making a purse from colorful plastic bags. But that was only the beginning. After finishing her second plastic bag purse,Ferrigno realized she needed something to match it with,so last November she told her daughter she was going to make a skirt and jacket suit out of plastic bags,as a winter project.Rosa started by cutting up the plastic bags into strips(条)and then tying them together to make longer, yam- like strips that could be knitted. But to knit the plastic yam, she needed large needles that didn’ t exist on the market, so she made them on her own.The suit took Rosa two months to complete. The jacket was made out of 170 plastic bags, an d the skirt required another 140.

2020年高三英语二模试卷及答案

2020年高三英语二模试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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AIt looks like 2017 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year in movie History. Here is a list of some of the year’s biggest blockbusters so far.Kong: Skull IslandA reboot (重启) of King Kong would normally get laughed at in this day and age, but it looks like this modem version of the story will be worth watching. With US actress Brie Larson and UK actor Tom Hiddleston in the mix, this film is set to be this year’s biggest monster tale.Release Date:3/10/17Beauty and the BeastDirector Bill Condon is bringing back a part of our childhood in live action, complete with the songs we all remember and love. With British stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens leading thecast, the classic Walt Disney story already sounds like it’ll be a delight for both children and adults.Release Date:3/17/17The Fate of the FuriousThere was doubt that we’d even get a Fast 8, especially after the fitting ending US actor Paul Walker’s character was given at the end of Furious 7. Fans thought they’d never see Dom and the rest of the crew back in action, but thankfully, US star Vin Diesel himself confirmed that The Fate of the Furious is fueling up for another go.Release Date:4/14/17Spider-Man: HomecomingSpider Man is heading home to Marvel Studios for the first time. The movie will show us Peter Parker’s high school days, and will continue the threads we saw formed during his initial appearance in Captain America: Civil War. We know that Michael Keaton is playing The Vulture in this story, and that both Happy Hogan and Tony Stark, played by US actors Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr., are along for the ride.Release Date:7/7/171.Which of the following movies can’t you see on May Day?A.Kong: Skull Island.B.Beauty and the Beast.C.The Fate of the Furious.D.Spider-Man: Homecoming.2.What can we know about Beauty and the Beast?A.It is fueling up for another go.B.It is produced by Marvel StudiosC.It’ll show us Peter Parker’s school days.D.It’ll be enjoyable for both children and adults.3.What does the underlined word “cast” probably mean?A.Characters.B.Actors.C.Directors.D.Teachers.BIf there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls’ poor performance in science and math?It hasbeen suggested that girls do not take math courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine (女性的) and attractive (有魅力的).However, there are still more high-achieving boys than girls when taking math exams. This difference appears to be worldwide. Biological explanations have been offered for this, but there are other explanations too.Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who gave answers.Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of math and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students, giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. They also praise boys more frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and math and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed.Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many math and science courses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.4. Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1?A. To find differences between boys and girls.B. To explain the poor performance of girls.C. To ask readers a question.D. To introduce the topic.5. The text mainly discusses ________ reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements.A. biologicalB. personalC. socialD. historical6. What does the text say about great mathematicians?A. Their teachers did not offer answers to them.B. They started learning math at an earlier age.C. They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.D. Their success resulted from their strong interest in math.7. The author would probably agree that ________.A. boys and girls learn in the same wayB. boys and girls are equal in general intelligenceC. girls are more confident in themselves than beforeD. girls should take fewer science courses than boysCIt is not only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence.There are some other important ways we shape our kids — particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words.For example, we can say to a child “Don't run into traffic！” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and aren't scaring themselves with what not to do.Actually, it is all in the way the human mind works.What we think, we automatically rehearse.For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn't be able to do it.When a child is told “Don't fall off the tree，” he will think of two things：“don't” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off.So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.Kids do not always know how tobe safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words.So parents should make their commands positive.“Sam, hold on firmly to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Don't you dare to fall out of the boat？” or “How do you think I'll feel if you drown？” The changes are small but the difference is obvious.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.8. Positive choice of words helps kids to ________.A. learn in different situationsB. do things carefullyC. build up their confidenceD. improve their imagination9. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. A child will act on what is instructed.B. One can't help imagining what is heard.C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.D. One won't think of a blue monkey when given money.10. Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?A. How do you think I'll feel if you get hurt?B. Don't play by the lake.C. Don't you dare to walk through the red light?D. Fasten your seat belt.11. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. positive instructions guide kidsB. praise makes kids confidentC right instructions keep kids safe D. clear commands make kids differentDNewspapers in Great Britainvarygreatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners ofthirty years ago.12. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself _________.A. a serious newspaperB. foreign newspaperC. any independent paperD. a popular newspaper13. The Times has been famous to outside Great Britain for ________ years.A. 19B. 85C. 236D. 22914. The Times is an independent paper because ________.A. it supports no political partiesB. it is not controlled by the British GovernmentC. it gives special support to all the political parties.D. the editor’s opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper15. The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “_________”.A. improveB. compete with each otherC. are differentD. keep in touch with each other第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

He was fromYingshan,Hubei,China, living from 970 to 1051 AD. His method replaced panels of printing blocks with moveable individual Chinese characters that could be reused. The first moveable Chinese Characters were carved into clay and baked into hard blocks that were then arranged onto an iron frame that was pressed against an iron plate.The earliest mention of Bi Sheng’s printing press is in the bookDream Pool Essays, written in 1086 by Shen Kuo, who noted that his nephews came into possession of Bi Sheng’s typefaces (字体) after his death. Shen Kuo explained that Bi Sheng did not use wood because the texture is inconsistent (不一致的) and absorbs wetness too easily.By the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, which ruled from 1127 to 1279 AD, books had become popular in society and helped create a scholarly class of citizens who had the capabilities to become civil servants. Large printed book collections also became a status symbol for the wealthy class.1. When was Bi Sheng’s printing press first introduced in history?A. After Bi Sheng died and his nephews owned his typefaces.B. When books became popular in the Southern Song Dynasty.C. After the block printing was replaced by the moveable type printing.D.

By the Southern Song Dynasty, books had helped people get to higher social positions.3. Why does the author write this passage?A. To show that Buddhism was popular in the Tang Dynasty.B. To introduce the early history of printing.C. To memorize Bi Sheng, developing the moveable type printing.D. To indicate the advantages of moveable type printing.BJoy Mangano is now an American inventor. She was divorced and had three kids under age 7 when she was 33, and was barely keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra hours as a waitress. “There were times when I would lie in bed and think. I didn't know how I was going to pay that bill,” Mangano says.But she had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was tired, of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mangano says. “So, There's gotta be a better way.”How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool you could twist in two directions at once, and still keep your hands clean and dry. She set out to sell it, first a few at flea markets.Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes (电视迷) buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed Mangano was sure it would sell if they'd let her do the on-camera display. She said, “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because it's a great item.”So QVC, a multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping, took a chance on her. “I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”Today she's president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of HSN, the Home Shopping Network.

Mangano got the idea of self-wringing mop from her own experience.D Mangano once had to work seven days a week to support her family.CRain is vital to life on Earth. However, rain isn’t just made of water anymore—it’s partly made of plastic.Millions of tiny pieces of plastic, called microplastics, are wandering around Earth’s atmosphere and traveling across entire continents according to a study published in one journal on April 12.Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter and come from a number of sources. Plastic bags and bottles released into the environment break down into smaller and smaller bits. Some microplastics are produced deliberately to provide abrasion(研磨)in products, such as toothpaste and cleansers. Another major source is your washing machine. When you wash clothing, tiny microfibers get washed away with the wastewater. Even though the water is treated by a wastewater plant, the microplastics remain,and they are released into the sea.Plastic rain may remind people of acid rain, but the former is far more widespread and harder to deal with. The tiny particles, too small to be seen with the naked eye, are collected by the wind from the ground. They are so light that they stay in the air to be blown around the globe. As they climb into the atmosphere, they are thought to act as nuclei (核心) around which water vapor (水蒸气) combines to form clouds. Some of the dust falls back to land in dry conditions, while the rest comes down as rain.Microplastics have been found everywhere you can imagine. From fish and frogs to mice and mosquitoes, their bodies have been found on average to contain 40 pieces of microplastic. As the top of the food chain, humans are exposed to microplastics, too. “We live on a ball inside a bubble,” microplastic researcher Steve Allen said. “There are no borders, there are no edges. It rains on the land and then gets blown back up into the air again to move somewhere else. There’s no stopping it once it’s out.”8. What do we know about microplastics?A. They have a diameter of over 5 millimeters.B. They have become a threat to humans.C. They are light and can be easily dealt with.D. They cause acid rain and plastic rain.9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. Waysto deal with microplastics.B. The wide use of microplastics.C. Where microplastics come from.D. How microplastics pollute water.10. What does Steve Allen want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. No place can be safe from microplastic pollution.B. The atmosphere possesses the ability to self-cleanse.C. Countries should work together to fight pollution.D. Wind causes microplastics to move somewhere else.11. The main purpose of the article is to________.A. call on people to use fewer plastic productsB. warn people of the danger of microplasticsC. introduce the sources and effects of microplasticsD. make a comparison between acid rain and plastic rainDWhere doyou usually put your toothbrush?Do you keep it in the bathroom? How’s your toothbrush looking these days? Even if you can’t see it with a naked eye, experts say it may be saturated(使饱和)with millions of toilet germs!Dr. Charles Oerba, a germ expert, is amicrobiology professor at the University of Arizona. He says there are approximately 3 million bacteria per square inch in most toilet bowls, and every time you flush it without closing the lid, those millions of bacteria droplets spray into the air as far as twenty feet away and dirty everything in their path. And a common victim is your poor toothbrush, usually, left out on the bathroom sink, right?So, what do we do? Dr. Gerba says it’s easy. Close the toilet lid before you flush—that’ll greatly cut downthe germs, which will otherwise float in the air. And wash your toothbrush every few days in mouthwash or peroxide to get rid of any germs hiding in it. You can even put it through the dishwasher to sanitize(消毒)it. And always store your toothbrush in a closed cabinet.Here’s one more tip from Dr. Gerba, who says our kitchen sink is probably dirtier than our toilet. “If an alien came from space and studied the bacterial counts, he probably would conclude he should wash his hands in your toilet and go to the bathroom in your sink.” He says that’s because the kitchen sink is a great place where E. coli(大肠杆菌)to live and grow since it’s wet and damp. Bacteria feed on the food that people put down the drain or—that’s left on dishes in the sink. To reset your sink’s bacteria count back to zero, you’d better regularly wash it with hot water and sanitize yoursink with special chemicals. In fact, you may want to do it every day or before preparing dinner.12. What is the purpose of the text?A. To show how to brush your teeth.B. To tell people the importance of health.C. To warn people of the invisible germs.D. To introduce a microbiology professor.13. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Bathroom sinks are the dirtiest places.B. Bacteria are bad for people’s health.C. Why bacteria spread through the air.D. How bacteria spread in the bathroom.14. What does the underlined word“that”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The food.B. The toothbrush.C. The sink.D. The chemical.15. Why does Dr. Gerba mention the example of an alien?A. To tell us a fiction story of an alien studying bacteria.B. To show our kitchen sink may be dirtier than our toilet.C. To teach us how to reset sink’s bacteria count back to zero.D. To prove coli prefers to live in the kitchen and the drain.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Study author Brent Coker said, "Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.""People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention," Coker said on the university'swebsite. "Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work, and as a result, increases productivity( 生产效率 )," he said.According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. "Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online," said Coker. "That's notalways a good idea."However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation( 适量 ), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office."Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without," he said.(1).What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show?A.People who surf the Internet are good employees.B.Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.C.The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.D.Surfing the Internet for fun at times during office hours increases productivity.(2).Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfingactivities?A.Watching videos.B.Reading online news.C.Reading online novels.D.Playing online games.(3).The underlined word "block" in Paragraph 4 means "_______".D.separateA.stopanizeC.protect(4).What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.B.Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.C.Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.D.People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.3、 It probably won’ t surprisethatyo teens are texting more than ever before. Experts showgreat concern for teen texting. Students might not learn correct grammar and spelling if they write alot of text messages. Also all that texting takes away from hours that could be spent studying,exercising, pursuing hobbies, or talking with others face to face. Some kids even sleep withtheir phones beneath their pillows and wake up several times during the night to text.Dr. Elizabeth Dowdell points out teens need to learn that they can — and should— turn offtheir phones sometimes. She and her team had two teenagers, Kenny and Franchesca, carry out anexperiment. They should obey the rules: No phone for 48 hours. No computer or Internet either,unless it was for schoolwork. Would these two teenagers be able to do it?“ I think I ’ m going to feel really alone, ” Kenny worried.

The challenge was on.The team caught up with Kenny and Franchesca after 48 phone- free hours. “ Wow, it waspure suffering, ” Kenny joked. “ Though life with no phone wasn ’ t easy, ” he admitted, “benefits. I felt less stres sed because I didn’ t have to be involved.” Sure, Kenny missed his friends,and he was sad at times. But he also felt relief from the constant texting. Instead of texting, Kennywent to the gym and caught up on schoolwork. He said that the first night he slept for 10 hours. Healso spent time sitting with his family and talking. “ I felt closer to my parents, ”said K Franchesca had an even happier result when she put away her phone. “ I loved it! ”she “ I was going to the gym and hanging out with fri ends and playing basketball. I had a wonderfulexperience. ” She slept better too, and she decided to continue the experiment for a while.I ’ ll be so much smarter and healthier,” she explained.“ Everybody in the world should try it.Kenny doesn’plant to give up his phone again.

"I remember quite vividly a mother bathing her newborn baby with laundry powder, which is so harmful to the skin," said Lakhani. "It's difficult for rural Cambodians to access soap. First is affordability. If you earn only $1.50 every day, you won't spend $1 on a bar ofsoap. Then comes access. The demand is so low that local shops don't stock soap. The last reason, because many Cambodians don't really understand where diseases come from, they don't know how to prevent them, including using soap."After figuring out a solution to the problem: the barely used soap in hotels, Lakhani started asking hotels to donate leftover soap. "They were all eager to help," he explained.Lakhani registered Eco-Soap Bank shortly afterwards. Soon, he received enough funds to hire disadvantaged Cambodian women to collect and reproduce the used soap.Today, the organization has four recycling centers across the country, providing jobs to 35 local women. And so far, some 174,000 bars of soap have been donated, about 24,000 pounds of soap has been recycled, and hygiene (卫生 ) has been improved for about 661,000 people. "We arekilling three birds with one stone," Lakhani said.When it comes to the future of Eco-Soap Bank, Lakhani said, "We've just scratched the surface. Lack of hygiene is not something unique to Cambodia. The demand for improved hygiene in the developing world is huge, and much remains to be done. We're looking at seven countries to expand to in the near future."(1).Which of the following is not mentioned as the reason why rural Cambodians don't use soap?A.Poverty.B.Inaccessibility.C.Unawareness.D.Tradition.(2).What does the underlined part "killing three birds" in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.Saving soap, curing diseases and providing education.B.Stopping pollution, providing jobs and inspiring donation.C.Reducing waste, providing employment and improving health.D.Recycling waste, helping charity and improving community hygiene.(3).What can we infer about Eco-Soap Bank?A.It won't be long before it expands to the whole world.B.There's little it can do without other countries' assistance.C.It will make greater contributions to the developing world.D.It will soon settle the problem of poor hygiene in Cambodia.(4).What do we know about the text?A.Eco-Soap Bank helps improve hygiene.B.Cambodian women have a bright future.C.A US young man calls for helping poor countries.ck of hygiene remains a serious problem in the world.5、依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

One of our challenges is the capability within literacy(读写能力) and it is clear that the gift is there, it’s only a matter of exploring it so I’m very impressed and also grateful to her parents for encouraging her to take t his very important step of publishing,” said Jeffrey Lloyd, Minister of Education during a one-on-one sit down and conversation. The young author caught media attention last year after publishing her first book on Amazon. The newest and independently publi shed children’s book “Roman and the Pink Flamingos” is inspired by Sierra’s three-year-old brother, Roman.“It’s frightening to bring something to the public that you’ve put a lot of work into and someone could very easily tear it apart or tease me, ‘It’s not good enough.’ Although I have my family and others in my corner, to meet persons in power and get a positive feedback from them makes me feel like I’m on the right path,” said Sierra.During the conversation, the governor general Dame Pindling asked about the book and creative process involved(涉及) in bringing the series to life. She urged Sierra to not only write children’s fiction but to one day work deeper into the fabric (结构) of the nation, documenting wha t she observed. “She encouraged me in my crea tive pursuits and praised me for being independent in my professional development.

We had the baby boomers of the 1960s, followed by Generation X and then Generation Y, often referred to as millennials, and the new kids on the block are Generation Z - aged between 16 and 22. It's easy to classify these young people as all being the same, sharing the same attitudes towards life—but is that fair?People from Generation Z, informally called "Z-ers", may be viewed by others as digital natives, incapable of real-world friendships. But they actually view themselves as hardworking, ambitious and about to change the world for the better. The previous generation, born between the mid-1980s and late 1990s - the millennials were also thought to have these characteristics. But many people view thi s new generation as “mini-millennials" because Z-ers are different and they have their own set of values and preferences which consumer brands need to cater for.It's true to say that technology is playing an important part in the lives of Generation Z, particularly in the area of social media. In fact, they have not known life without it and using it to communicate, share ideas and campaign is second nature. It means they have more of a say on what we eat, drink and buy than any generation before them. These young people certainly need to be listened to by retailers (零售商) and businesses - they are the people with time on their hands and money.But being a Z-er comes with pressure. One young person says "Many people in Generation Z have mental health issues because they're unsure what the future will bring." The future always brings uncertainties but maybe there is pressure for this generation to be the most successful ever.1.When was a Z-er likely to be born?A.In 1964.B.In 1975.C.In 1987.D.In 1999.2.What do Z-ers see themselves as?A.Diligent and ambitious.B.Hardworking and incapable.C.Promising and different.D.Stressed and successful.3.What're Paragraphs 2&3 trying to argue?A.Z-ers have known life without social media.B.Z-ers pay too much attention to digital devices.C.Z-ers and the millennials have the same personality.D.Z-ers become a key driving force in the consumer market.4.What docs the author think is the real cause of the Z-ers' pressure?A.Their ambition to be the best.B.Their uncertainty of the future.C.Their addiction to digital devices.D.Their lack of real-world friendship.4、Several years ago, Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of the famous BBC television programme ‘Top Gear’, discovered that one of his guests was half German and half Irish. Immediately, he said: “That’s quite an odd combination. It’s like, ‘this must be done absolutely perfectly… tomorrow’”.This joke played on stereotypes (刻板印象) of the Germans as efficient and the Irish as lazy. Many people could understandably be offended by these kinds of assertions. We do not know every Irish person, so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy?I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being ‘generally rather casual’ and ‘more outwardly friendly than many European countries’'. German business people, on the other hand, are consider ed to be very direct and according to the website, they ‘do not need a personal relationship in order to do business’. Once you hear advice like this, it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from.So why do some people disapprove of the kind of stereotypes as seen in Clarkson’s joke, but not batting an eyelid when it comes to generalisations. What is the difference between the two?By definition, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. A cultural characteristic, on the other hand, is a pattern of behaviour that is typical of a certain group.So what does this really mean? Stereotypes are simply overstated assumptions about groups of people. Imagine if a tourist visited a small town in Switzerland and saw a number of locals playing the alphorn instrument, and then claimed that Swiss people can play the alphorn. Thiswould be a stereotype! This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourist’s experience.If, however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual, this could be seen as a cultural characteristic. This is because it is a pattern of behaviour which is very typical in Switzerland: from their transport system to their business meetings.In this way, some people argue that generalising another culture is not just useful, but important. Politicians always have to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of different countries. By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence in those cultures.However, others argue that generalising cultures will always lead to offensive stereotypes. They argue that the best thing we can do is to stop generalising cultures and start treating people as individuals.All this raises important questions: can making generalisations about groups of people be a positive thing? Or should we always avoid making broad assumptions about different groups? 1.When he said, “It’s like, ‘this must be done absolutely perfectly… tomorrow’”, Jeremy Clarkson really meant ________.A.the Germans will do it perfectly tomorrow while the Irish won’tB.the combination of half German and half Irish is interestingC.the characteristics of the Germans and the Irish are oppositeD.the stereotypes of the Germans and the Irish are not so good2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The Irish people are considered as lazy, direct and casual.B.The Germans are thought to be efficient, friendly and direct.C.The Swiss can play the alphorn quite well.D.It’s typical of the Swiss to be punctual.3.Politicians think it important to generalize another culture because ________.A.they think different cultural characteristics are usefulB.they don’t want to offend other peopleC.cultural characteristics are better than stereotypesD.generalizing will lead to offensive stereotypes4.The main purpose of this passage is to _________.A.discuss whether it is good to make generalizations about groups of peopleB.tell us the differences between stereotypes and cultural characteristicsC.illustrate the importance of making generalizationsD.show it is wrong to play jokes on stereotypes of different people5、Spot lights are not just for rock concerts and Broadway shows.
