Having spent her first six years i n a cage, Georgie had never seen a body of water, and I wanted to get there before sunset to watch her experience it.I was growing increasingly impatient about all the stops her little Beagle nose required. She inspected the grass, dirt, and trees, and licked（舔）whatever was stuck to the road. These were all new discoveries for her, and she took her time studying them.When I accepted that it was fruitless to hurry her along, I whipped out my cell phone and began texting. I thought that I needed something to do while Georgie was slowing us down. Then, for some reason, I heard the cicadas（蝉）,and I remembered that the sound of cicadas is my favorite sound in the world. That awakened something buried within me that longed for the simple pleasures that had been replaced by technology.I made a conscious decision to be present, and to enjoy the journey to the river Just like Georgie. Now, I admired the flowers and the winding ivy on our path. I smelled the grass and the flowers, and the dirt and the air. I treasured each one equally, as if discovering them for the first time.As we neared our destination ,1 realized something even more important: It didn't matter if we even reached the river. Why must there always be a destination? Georgie had no idea that we had a destination. She was present for the journey, and she savored every bit of that sweet experience. There was no race and no finish line.Now I'm not sure who rescued whom.25.Why did the author take out the cellphone?A. To kill time.B. To awaken the simple pleasures.C. To hurry the dog along.D. To record the sound of cicadas.26. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. How I enjoyed the journey.B. What I saw on the way.C. Why I traveled to the river.D. Whether I reached my destination.27. What does the underlined word“savored” in the fifth paragraph mean?A. Smelt.B. Expected.C. Enjoyed.D. Deserved.28. What is the best title for the text?A. Say Goodbye to Cell PhonesB. Think like a DogC. Learn to Get along with PetsD. Travel toward DestinationsCMosquitos can infect you with Malaria, yellow fever, and dengue. All can kill you. So we spray large areas with pesticides（杀虫剂）.But this negatively affects the whole ecosystem and your health. Now there's a new device, which claims to keep you and your loved one’s mosquito free.The device was designed by two German engineers who were fed up with being bitten while camping. They found solutions containing ' DEET' — a damaging chemical whichcould be both harmful to us and the environment —worked best, but still only for 45 minutes maximum andthat the traditional anti-pest devices didn't workwell! So, they designed the brand new type of bugkiller, Moskinator.Instead of trying to keep the mosquitos away, it actually attracts them, then catches and kills them! It lures（引诱）the flies and mosquitos near using a safe, completely harmless LED light. The flying pests（害虫）can't resist the UV-PT light! Next to the LED light is a powerful, yet efficient reverse fan that sucks（吸）the insects through a one-way trapdoor. Once trapped in the drying basket they are dried to death by the fan a matter of 2 minutes. You can simply empty the dead bugs into the trash, without even touching them.Does Moskinator really work in real life? We had some of our customers try it out in their homes. The results speak for themselves:“My wife would complain she had a headache in the mornings whenever we used chemical pesticides. Now we use our Moskinator, and we wake up bite and headache free!”—Shane Maguire“This Moskinator really works and you don't have to worry about breathing any harmful chemicals.”—Jake Shearer29. What is the name of the new device?A. DEET.B. Masticator.C. Malaria.D. UV-PT.30.W hat is the function of the LED light?A. It gives off natural light.B. It attracts flying pests.C. It sucks pests inside.D. It dries pests to death.31.Which of the following best describes the new device?A. Innovative and effective.B. Traditional and cheap.C. Power-saving and portable.D. Chemical free andsoundless.32. What is the purpose of writing the text?A. To educate the readers.B. To entertain the readers.C. To introduce a new device.D. To evaluate a new device.DStep into Moving to Mars, an exhibition of Mars mission and colony design at London's Design Museum, and immediately you have good reasons not to move there.Frightening glowing wall-texts announce that Mars wasn't made for you； that there is no life and precious little water； that, dressed in a spacesuit, you will never touch, taste or smell the planet you now call “home”. As Lisa Grossman wrote for New Scientist a couple of years ago, “What's different about Mars is that there is nothing to do there except try not to die”.It is an odd beginning for such a celebratory exhibition, but it provides a valuable, dark background against which the rest of the show can sparkle（闪耀）一a show that is ,as its chief manager Justin remarks，“not about Mars ； this is an exhibition about people”.Moving along, there is a quick yet clear flash through what the science-fiction writer Robinson calls “the history of Mars in the human mind”. A Babylonian clay tablet and a Greek vase speak to early ideas about the planet. A poster for the original Total Recall film reminds us of Mars's psychological threat.The main part of the show is our current plans for the Red Planet. There are real spacesuits and models of 3D-printed Martian settlements and suitable clothing and furniture. Mission architectures and engineering sketches line the walls. Real hammers meant for the International Space Station are wall-mounted beside a low-gravity table that has yet to leave, and may indeed never leave, Earth.This, of course, is the great strength of approaching science through design:reality and assumption can be given equal visual weight, drawing us into an informed conversation about what it is that we actually want from a future on Mars.33.What is the text mainly about?A. How to move to Mars.B. How to survive on Mars.C. What preparations we made for Mars.D. What the exhibition of Mars truly tells us.34.What can we learn from Lisa Grossman?A. It’s impossible to live on Mars.B. It's no good settling on Mars.C. You have nothing to do living on Mars.D. You can live on Mars in spacesuit.35.What does the exhibition focus on?A. The current plans for Mars.B. The advantages of living on Mars.C. The early ideas about Mars.D. The history of Mars in the human mind.36. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. An experience.B. An opinion.C. A fantasy.D. A solution.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）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。

AFour things that you can't miss in Macao.Macao Tower AJ Hackett Bungee JumpThe Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world's 10th highest tower, with a variety of activities, such as gambling, eating and entertainment. One of the acclaimed activities is the bungee jump. The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Raise your arms and off you go! If you are not daring enough to jump that height, you can try the skywalk on the 57th floor ---it's still remarkable.Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinnerMacao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply immersed into many comers of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people. Marking at the Ruins of St. PaulThe Ruins of St. Paul is the signature landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St.Paul'sCollege and the Church of St. Paul, built in 1583. However, after three intense fires in 1595, 1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. It is beyond belief that after the vigorous cycles of rebuilding and fires, the huge surface and the front stairway remain unburned.Visiting a museumMacao, as a tiny city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both Eastern and Western historical sites can be found. Many of them are preserved for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museums, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum.1. Which activity will be popular with adventurous visitors?A. Going Bungee Jumping.B. Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner.C. Marking at the Ruins of St. Paul.D. Visiting a museum.2. What is incredible about the Ruins of St. Paul?A. It has a unique culture.B. It serves as a symbol of Macao.C. It partly stays undamaged after fierce fires.D. It is a combination of a college and a church.3. What do "'Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner" and "Visiting a museum" have in common?A. Taking a selfie in it.B. Finding historical sites.C. Enjoying a breathtaking experience.D. Feeling both eastern and western cultures.BI was seven when I first questioned my imagination. I remember watching the first Harry Potter film and my friend was complaining that the characters weren't how she imagined them to be. I couldn't understand what she meant because, in my mind, they had never been images at all, just concepts. When l shut my eyes, I see nothing. I have no visual imagination.I thought everyone's minds worked this way until about two years ago, when I came acrossatext about aphantasia, a condition where you lack a functioning mind's eye. I was 23, and it blew my mind to learn that others could visualize things. It was clear I had aphantasia, too, and a lot of things started to make more sense. For me, imagination had always been impossible. If someone asked me to close my eyes and picture myself by the sea, I would see nothing.I am currently studying for a PhD in biology at college. A good little test for me is drawing. I can copy things almost like for like if they are in front of me, but if I were to draw from my imagination it would look terrible. It doesn't mean you cannot be creative; you just have to adapt. Regardless of how many times I read a technique, it didn't make sense. But when I came to do it in the lab, I understood it immediately. If you have a visual imagination, you can look at a diagram and it triggers your memory; but I learn by repetition or physically doing something.I'd love to experience life with a mind's eye. I think it'd be cool and beneficial to imagine things so vividly. If you offered me a day with a visual imagination, I'd be excited. I think it'd be so brilliant that I wouldn't want to give it back.4. After watching the first Harry Potter film, the author _____ .A. misunderstood what her friend saidB. became a huge fan of the Harry Potter filmC. found it impossible to picture its characters in her mindD. complained its characters different from what she imagined5. How did the author know she had aphantasia?A. Her friend told her the fact.B. She read about aphantasia.C. She had a medical examination.D. Her life experience made it clear.6. What can we learn about the author?A. She lacks creativity.B. She always draws terribly.C. She learns by hands-on practice.D. She gets benefit from techniques.7. What is the author's attitude towards her disability?A. Uncertain.B. Uncaring.C. Upset.D. Positive.CFor years, the U.S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will grow faster than supply, and that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs by then.So what's the solution? Robots.Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and other items. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely be one of the first to be implemented in hospitals because ithas fairly minimal patient contact.A robot's appearance affects its ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the RIKEN-TRI Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a robotic nurse called Actroid F. It is so human-like that some patients may not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in its eyes, which allow it to track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions. During a month-long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot and "only three or four said they didn't like having it around."It's important to note that robotic nurses don't decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses, though robot doctors and surgeons may not be far off. Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the interaction of robots will lead to collaboration, not replacement.8. What does the author say about Japan?A. It ranks top in future robotics technology.B. It takes the lead in offering robotic nursing.C. It is in desperate need of registered nurses.D. It provides the best medication for the elderly.9. Which of the following best explains “implemented'' underlined in Paragraph 3?A. Cancelled.B. Constructed.C. Improved.D. Applied.10. What do we know about the robot Actroid F?A. It has no difference from a human nurse.B. It gets favorable remarks from all the patients.C. It interacts with patients like a human companion.D. It uses body language even more effectively than words.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Cooperation will not be replaced.B. Nurses will still play their roles.C. The robotics industry will be promising.D. Robots can meet patients' immediate needs.DWhy should most of us hate spiders when we know deeply how much good they do? Is it because they somehow seem so alien? After all, what other land creatures on earth have eight legs? What other creatures spin silk webs in which to catch and wrap their prey to preserve it for the future, much as we put food in the fridge to eat later? I do not personally suffer from arachnophobia, the name given to an abnormal fear of spiders, but I can't say that I like the little beasts. However, some peopledo, and they actually keep them as pets!There is a wide variety of spiders in the world. In fact it has been estimated that there are some 35,000 species——from little "money spiders" that live in your back garden, to the "black widow spider", and the “tarantula” ，the spider that is now sometimes kept as a pet.A tarantula can be any one of a large hairy spiders family and there are about 800 species of them. While experts can tell the difference between species at a glance, most are usually described in reference books as “rather slowly" with “a strong bite which may be poisonous”. They are covered with hairs which can cause a rash （皮疹）if they are handled.No one has calculated the number of human deaths caused by a bite from a tarantula perhaps because it has never happened, or happened so rarely, and indeed a tarantula will do no harm to anyone if handled correctly. Their disgusting image cannot belie their gentle nature but experts tell us not to handle a tarantula without expert advice.Tarantulas are popular as pets and it requires very little space to maintain them in excellent condition. They should be kept singly in a glass container, which need not be very large but should have a layer of stones in the bottom. They feed on insects, and while young tarantulas eat twice a week, adults will often eat no more than once every 10 days.You might like the idea of keeping a tarantula, but personally I am content with just watching them at a distance.12. According to the text, why do most people dislike spiders?A. They are abnormal beasts.B. They take food from fridges.C. They have unpleasant appearance.D. They make people suffer from arachnophobia.13. What do we know about the tarantula?A. It must be kept in groups.B. It feeds on poisonous insects.C. It doesn't belong to hairy spiders.D. It has mild nature if handled properly.14. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The death caused by a tarantula.B. The number of human deaths.C. The bite from a tarantula.D. The rash caused by hairs.15. What's the best title for the text?A. Never judge a book by its cover.B. Nothing seek, nothing find.C. No sweet without sweat.D. Once bitten, twice shy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

The study. (22)_________ has yet to be published in a scientific Journal, adds another dimension to scientists(23)________ (grow)understanding of how plants detect and interact with their surroundings.In recent years, it has become very clear that plants are more sensitive than researchers (24)_________ (think). They respond when touched by insects and turn toward sources of light. “Plants are not just robotic stimulus-response devices,” said Frantisek Baluska of the University of Bonn in Germany. “They’re living organisms which have their own problems.”Actually making their suffering hearable, however, is another matter entirely.(25)________(test) that possibility, a team led by Itzhak Khait, a plant scientist at Tel Aviv University in Israel, placed microphones capable of detecting ultrasonic frequencies(超声波频率) four inches from tomato and tobacco plants. The researcher then either stopped watering them or cut their stems.Measuring in the range of 20 to 150 kilohertz (千赫) the researchers found that even happy healthy plants madethe occasional noise. But when cut, tobacco plants emitted (26)_________average of 15 sounds within an hour of being cut, (27)_________tomato plants produced 25 sounds.(28)_______researchers aren’t yet sure how plants produce these sounds, Khait and his colleagues proposed one possibility in their paper (29)____________as water travels through the plants' tubes, air bubbles will form and explode, producing small vibrations.All this “screaming” caused by stress wasn’t in a range detectable by human ears. But organisms that can hear ultrasonic frequencies like mice, bats or perhaps other plants (30)________possibly hear the plants cries from as far away as 15 feet.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Italians find “Moments of Joy in this Moment of Anxiety”It started with the national anthem.

And in Italy, the gestures of gratitude and music ring out above the country’s empty streets, while social media feeds fill with (38)___________, sentimental and humorous web videos.Images of nurses collapsed from exhaustion or their faces bruised(使受瘀伤) from tightly(39)________maskshave also spread across the web in recent days. Parents posted pictures of unicorns and rainbows drawn by young children with the title “It will all be OK.”“We’re Italians, and loving singing is part of our culture,” said Giorgio Albertini, 51, an archaeology professor who clapped from his apartment balcony in the university district of Milan, calling it a way “to feel a community, and to have the (40)_________grief.”Ⅲ Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: 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.Making choices is hard. That would be why researcher Moran Cerf has (41)_________it from his life. As a rule, he always chooses the second menu item at a restaurant.This is (42)___________by his research in neuroeconomics(神经经济学)( a somewhat new, divisive field) at Northwestern University. As Business Insider describes, Cerf has extended his ideas which draw on some controversial ideas in psychology, including ego depletion out into a piece of advice that, to (43)_________happiness, people should "build a life that requires (44)________decisions by surrounding themselves with people who possess traits they prefer.On an instinctive level, Cerf’s idea (45)_____________: Many choices people make are the product of social pressures and the inputs of (46)___________people around them. One example Cerf furnishes is that, (47)________consistently ordering the second menu item. he never picks where to eat. Rather, he (48)________his decision to his dining partner which friend he plans to eat with, probably one he trusts and always lets them pick.While it's (49)__________what, if any, scientific principles underlie those pieces of advice, there is no shortage of research showing that choices can sometimes feel more(50)_______than liberating. An example from Quanta poits (假设): If you have a clear love of Snickers(士力架), choosing that over an Almond Joy(杏仁巧克力) or a Milky Way(牛奶巧克力) should be a(51)________. And, as an experiment conducted by neuroscientist Paul Glimcher at NYU shows, most of the time it is, (52)_________you introduce more choices. When the participants were offered three candy bars (Snickers, Milky Way, and Almond Joy) they had no problem picking their favorite, but when they were given the option of one among 20, including Snickers, they would sometimes drift away from their (53)_____. When the choices were taken away in later trials. the participants would wonder what caused them to make such a bad decision.As Quanta details, according to a model called" 'divisive normalization(分裂归一化), which has gained some popularity, the way the brain encodes choices has a lot to do with how it values all its options. So, if you have twothings that are clearly (54)___________, brain areas involved in decision-making fire in a pattern that makes the decision clear. When the choices are comparable. the brain does its best to focus on the distinctions between the two, but more choices (55)_________ that ability out.41.

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)One spring day, once the flowers have begun to open, a bee will hover (盘旋)and zip through your yard and dive-bomb your picnic table. While you're thinking about avoiding an attack, that bee is focused on something else entirely: me.A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home. stick her long. straw like tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill. she’ll fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her co-workers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the comb. Then she and her 50.000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the waterfrom the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4,000 flowers, and yet will produce only one-twelfth a tea spoon of me.The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. If I do say so myself, I am a timeless treasure. Literally I never go bad.Unfortunately, my good health is not guaranteed. The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. I’d appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild. My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers, thus helping the bees, who give so much to you, to me without ever asking for anything in return.56. What does “me” refer to in the passage?A. The flower.B. The bee.C. Water. D Honey.57. What is the 2nd paragraph mainly about?A. Bees’ special talent.B. Bees’ hard work.C. Bees’ living environment.D. Bees’ social behavior.58. Which one of the following is true according to the passage?A. A bee will always prioritize attacking picnic lovers.B. Before “me” is sealed off in beeswax, the drying process can take a few nights.C. The lifework of a bee satisfies the average demand of an American consumer annually.D. Bees are more likely to visit those deliberately pest-controlled gardens59. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To appeal for help for honeybees.B. To talk about the history of a treasure.C. To put forward techniques for gardeners.D. To argue against the control of chemicals.(B)Get Your Unlimited Card at Cineworld CinemasEnjoy Unlimited FilmsWatch all the films you want at any Cineworld for just one monthly price.Being an Unlimited card holder gives you access to all the 2D films you canhandle for one monthly price.

If it extends further south overpopulated areas, such as southern Greenland, people would be at increased risk of sunburn. However, on current trends the hole is expected to disappear altogether in a few weeks.Low temperatures in the northern polar regions led to an unusual stable polar vortex(极地漩涡) and the presence of ozone-destroying chemicals such as chlorine(氯)in the atmosphere-from human activities caused the hole to form.“The hole is principally a geophysical curiosity.” said Vincent-Henri Peuch, director of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. “We monitored unusual dynamic(动态的)conditions, which drive the process of chemical depletion of ozone. Those dynamics allowed for lower temperatures and a more stable vortex than usual over the Arctic, which then triggered the formation of polar stratospheric(平流层的)clouds and the catalytic(催化的) destruction of ozone.”The hole is not related to the Covid-19 shutdowns that have dramatically cut air pollution and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. It is also too early to say whether the unusually stable Arctic polar vortex conditions are linked with the climate crisis, or part of normal stratospheric weather variability.Peuch said there were no direct implications for the climate crisis. Temperatures in the region are already increasing, slowing the depletion of ozone, and the hole will start to recover as polar air mixes with ozone rich air from lower latitudes. The last time similar conditions were observed was in spring 2011.While a hole over the Arctic is a rare event, the much larger hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic has been a major cause for concern for more than four decades. The production of ozone depleting chemicals has been dramatically reduced, under the1987 Montreal Protocol(蒙特利尔协议), but some sources appear still to be functioning in 2018unauthorized emissions were detected from some areas.New sources of ozone depleting chemicals were not a factor in the hole observed in the Arctic, said Peuch. “However, this is a reminder that one should not take the Montreal Protocol measures for granted and that observations from the ground and from satellites are central to avoid a situation where the ozone destroying chemical level in the stratosphere could increase again.”63. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “depletion”?A. replacement.B. consumption.C. increase.D. production.64. According to the passage, scientists are concerned about the hole because____________.A. it is expected to be a threat to the mankind.B. the new hole is caused by air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.C. it may encourage further scientific research and environmental awareness.D. it wars us of an oncoming climate crisis.65. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?A. The hole over the Arctic shares the same causes as the one over the Antarctic.B. Human activities are highly responsible for producing ozone-destroying chemicals.C. The Montreal Protocol has successfully prevented new emissions.D. Some new illegal emissions are to blame for the hole over the Arctic.66. The best title for the passage is probably_________.A. Record-size Hole Opens in Ozone Layer above the Arctic.B Actions Urgently Needed for a New Hole in Ozone Layer.C Environmental Disaster and International Cooperation.D. How a Hole in Ozone Affects our Life on Earth.Section CDirections: 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.People like to post their selfies(自拍照)on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behaviors connected to narcissism, the researchers said. (67)_________Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University. said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.(68)_________Some people feel “peer pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience. it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. (69)_______Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. (70)__________On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos even if they click “like”.TV. Summary WritingDirections: 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.It's natural to feel the need to control something when everything around you feels out of control, and you feel helpless. When a friend of mine first heard about the coronavirus outbreak. she got down on her hand. and knees and cleaned her kitchen floor. She told me, “My floor wasn’t even dirty, but doing something constructive made me feel in control and that I was holding on to my power, despite the desperate circumstances.”Your most powerful weapon against uncertainty is your perspective because nobody and no situation can take that from you unless you give it away. Your perspective can victimize or empower you. When you look for the upside in a downside situation and figure out what you can control and what you can't, it's easier to accept whatever is beyond your control.高三英语调研测试（试卷参考答案）I Listening ComprehensionSection A1-5 BDBCB6-10 CBCCDSection B11-13 AAC14-16 BAD17-20 ACDCII.

First, good perspective is of the greatest help, for evaluating the situation properly brings a clearer picture. Second, kind behaviors during tough times can secure you a sense of control as well. Third, actions and thoughts of positivity also help as they may create hope and optimism.It's essential to feel you can control something in a crisis or emergency. Positive perspective is the most important, since it will ensure you confidence and power to pull through the difficult situation. Then doing small good deeds can free you from worry temporarily by helping others. Lastly. take some positive action to arouse the hope within you.V. Translation72.

The ice skating rink（溜冰场）at Rockefeller Center and sledding in Central Park.Paris“Many people frequent Paris in spring and summer,” reveals Hudson. “The trade-off for picture-perfect weather? Long lines at museums, plus a Metro chock-full of map-totingtourists. ” Based on Expedia data, the cheapest month to go to Paris is February. Our advice?

" I was shocked to see someone buy a full sandwich, eat half of it, and throw the other half out," said Simon. "It was not the values I grew up with. " To him, discarded food was a "natural goldmine” he could source to do good.Four years later, Simon cofounded Imperfect Produce, a subscription-basedhome-de livery service for discounted “ugly" fruits and vegetables that are perfectly good on the inside, but otherwise rejected from the food supply chain for their looks.“Up to 20% of the fruits and vegetables grown on farms in America are thrown away because the produce doesn't meet grocery stores" standards," said Simon. "It's often for discoloration, scarring on the surface caused by the fruit rubbing against a tree limb or an atypical shape,” he said. "Sometimes it's the size. " Simon, 29, and Chesler, 27, d ecided to source this "ugly" produce directly from farms and deliver it to customers for about 30% less than conventional grocery store prices. "The reason why we created Imperfect Produce as a direct-to-consumer business is because grocery stores didn't w ant to partner with us,” said Simon. “So we became our own store. " The San Francisco-based service launched in August 2015. Today, Imperfect Producehas more than 200,000 subscribers in 22 cities. The company sources its produce from 250 growers nationwide, and slightly more than half of it is organic. To date, Simon said the service has helped recover 40 million pounds of food from going to waste.Simon declined to disclose income but said this year's sales are expected to double last year's.

The findings raise fears that some familiar species could go the way of the passenger pigeon, a species once so abundant that its extinction in the early 1900s seemed unthinkable.The results, ever done to North American birds, point to ecosystems in disorder because of habitat loss and other factors, researchers say. Yet ecologist Paul Ehrlich at Stanford University, California sees some hope in this new bad news: “ It might encourage needed actionin view of the public interest in our feathered friends. ”In past decades, Ehrlich and others have recorded the decline of particular bird groups, including migratory songbirds. All together, they studied 529 bird species, about three-quarters of all species in North America, accounting for more than 90% of the entire bird population. Rosenberg and his colleagues report Grassland birds have declined by 53% since 1970—a loss of 700 million adults in the 31 species studied. Habitat loss may be to blame.The familiar birds that flock by the thousands in suburbs were not exempt（例外）. “There's a decline of the numbers of common birds,” Rosenberg says. His team determ ined that 19 common species have each lost more than 50 million birds since 1970. Twelve groups, including sparrows, warblers, finches, and blackbirds, were particularly hard hit. Even introduced species that have increased in North America, such as starlings and house sparrows, are losing ground.8．What is happening to North America's birds?A．Most of them are dying out. B．Some of them are decreasing. C．They are disappearing quickly. D．They are raising fears to humans. 9．What does Paul Ehrlich mean?A．The bad news will bring interest to the birds.B．The bad news might alarm people to take action.C．North America's birds need our help.D．North America's birds suffered great loss.10．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Some common birds are also decreasing.B．Some birds die from losing their habitat.C．The research team found some unusual things.D．The research team studied birds in North America.11．In which section of a website may this text appear?A．Environment. B．Health.C．Education. D．Science.Yellow is usually the color of happy, joyful emotions. But according to a new study, not all people associate sunshine with good atmosphere.To find out what factors might play a role, researchers tested a new hypothesis （假设）:What if people's physical surroundings affect their feelings about certain colors? For instance, if someone lived in cold and rainy Finland, would they feel differently about the color yellow from someone who lived near the Sahara Desert? The researchers looked atcolor-emotion data from an ongoing international survey of 6,625 people in 55 countries. The survey asks participants to rate 12 colors on how closely they are associated with feelings including joy, pride, fear and shame.The team looked only at the data for yellow, and analyzed how different factors—including hours of sunshine, hours of daylight, and amount of rainfall—lined up with the emotions people reported for the color. The two best predictors of how people felt about yellow were the annual amount of rainfall, and how far they lived from the equator （⾚道），the teamreports this month in the Journal of Environmental Psychology,The farther someone lived from the equator, the more likely they were to appreciate some bright colors: In Egypt, the likelihood of yellow being associated with joy was just 5. 7% , whereas in rather cold Finland it was 87. 7% . In the United States, with its moderate climate and amber（黄褐⾊）waves of grain, people's yellow-joy association levels were between 60% and 70% .The team also checked whether associations changed with the season---whether, for example, people in a certain country liked yellow more in the winter than they did in the summer. The researchers found that opinions about color remained fairly constantyear-round—even when the weather changed, the data on yellow-joy associations were as good as gold.12．Who did the researchers survey to test the hypothesis?A．People in Finland.B．Travelers in the United States.C．Someone living near the Sahara Desert.D．Many people from different countries.13．What may affect the emotions associated with yellow most?A．Hours of sunshine. B．Hours of daylight.C．Amount of rainfall. D．Seasons in a year.14．Who are more likely to appreciate bright colors?A．People living in warm areas. B．People growing up in Egypt. C．People growing yellow grains. D．People living far from the equator.15．What is the text mainly about?A．Yellow is the color of happiness and joy.B．Researchers did a survey on the color yellow.C．A study shows the connection between emotion and yellow can vary.D．Different people have different emotions to the color yellow.⼆、完形填空My name is Matthew. 1 don't have many 16 because I'm a terrible liar.

ASummer vacation is the perfect time to catch up on all that reading you couldn't do during the busy school year. Here are some of the best YA books to read this summer.◆Skyward by Brandon SandersonMore than anything, Spensa wants to become a pilot and defend her planet against the frequent attacks from alien starfighters .When she discovers the wreckage （残骸）of an old battleship, she realizes that her dreams might be within reach.◆ Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen M. McManusPut on your crime-solving cap and get swept away in this thrilling novel about a girl, a boy, and a string of unsolved murders. As threats and clues pile up, you'll be burning the midnight oil trying to finish the book before dawn.◆Bridge of Clay by Markus ZusakThe five Dunbar brothers haven't seen their father in eight years. When he reappears and asks for help building a bridge, only the middle brother, Clay, agrees to go with him. Unforgettable and touching, it is a must-read story .♦If I'm Being Honest by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-BrokaIn an effort to win her boyfriend back, Cameron decides to become a nicer person and make up for people she's hurt. Loosely based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, this is a delightfully sweet and positive tale of self-discovery, and true love.1. Who may be interested in Skyward?A. Pilots on battleships.B. Fans of outer space.C. Peace keepers.D. Planet defenders.2. Which book is probably a detective story?A. SkywardB. Two Can Keep a SecretC. Bridge of ClayD. If I'm Being Honest3. What is special about If I'm Being Honest?A. It is a work of joint authors.B. It is one of Shakespeare's plays.C. It mainly talks about being honest.D. It appeals to readers feeling hopeless.BI work at a grocery store in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood, which gets a lot of regulars. On March 12, the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic （流行病） of coronavirus.The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen. The six cash registers had to be kept open from 10 a. m. until close. It was nuts. I didn't have time to eat lunch, and whenever one of us on cash had to use the bathroom, we9d have to bring in a coworker off the floor to cover for us.Since then, the atmosphere in the store has been different. Customers are mostly considerate, but whenever someone coughs or sneezes, everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow. I've even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups. One guy even came in with a plastic Walmart bag wrapped around his entire head, with a slit cut out for his eyes.A lot of my coworkers have left to avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic. Grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work, but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage. I realized that I feel more exhausted than normal even though I'm working the same hours.There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos. I've overheard people talking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for those stuck at home. And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work. I know everyone is worried, but it'suseless having the same scary conversations day after day. Instead, tell us a funny anecdote, or about something nice. We'll appreciate the distraction, and you'll make our day just a bit brighter.4. What does the author intend to show by " It was nuts." in paragraph 2?A. The goods were in short supply.B. The store was having a big sale.C. The cashiers complained about their work.D. The locals rushed to do shopping like crazy.5. What does paragraph 3 convey about customers?A. They like to shop here in disguise.B. They are panicky about the disease .C. They are more friendly to each other.D. They have taken proper preventive measures.6. Which of the following best describes the author?A. Optimistic.B. Talented.C. Ambitious.D. Efficient.7. What is the best title for the text?A. It is not work but worry that killsB. Helping others is helping ourselvesC. Moments of kindness shine in a time of chaosD. Here is what it's like working in the pandemicCBlue whales, the earth's largest animals, call to others of their kind, though exactly what these cries communicate remains a mystery . But these sounds have begun evolving （演变）. Since at least the 1960s,the pitch （音调）of Antarctic blue whales has downshifted. Scientists have theories as to why: all involving humans.The deepening of their sounds is not unique. Many blue whales around the world have also dropped their pitch . In a study last year that analyzed more than 1 million individual recordings of whale calls, scale shifts were found across species, and among populations that don't necessarily interact with one another. This is to say, whatever has caused the change doesn't seem to have a specific geographic origin.The underwater noises caused by ocean traffic and at-sea industries might seem a likely criminal. However, scientists have identified lowered pitches even across populations of whales that live in seas without major shipping routes.One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts. As their populations have grown, then , the whales may have decreased their volume because they are more likely to be communicating over short distances.Last year's study of whale calls also suggests a threatening reason for the drop in pitch, however. Perhaps whales don't need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceansmade acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, meanwhile, may also indirectly influence whale voices in other ways. Recent study shows that, during the summer, the whales must use their top volume to be heard in the cracking ice — a natural sound increased by unnatural processes, as rising temperatures worsen ice-melt. So the impacts of a warming planet may modulate animal sounds even in remote places.8. To what extent is whales' pitch drop?A. Across the species.B. In the Antarctic ocean .C. Among some populations.D. Within one million individuals.9. What causes the evolving of whales' pitch according to the text?A. Less communication and more threat.B. Protection efforts and acidic sea water.C. Sharp decrease of whales' populations；D. Underwater noises by ships and industries.10. What does the underlined word "modulate" mean in the last paragraph?A. Produce.B. Damage.C. Balance.D. Change.11. What can we infer from the text?A. Man is the soul of nature.B. Man and nature are in one.C. Nature pardons no mistakes .D. Nature has the final say over man.DThose driving forward the movement of paying college athletes are forgetting the reason one goes to college: to get an education .In an era struggling for competitive balance, how would the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) keep from giving schools like Kentucky and Alabama even more of a competitive advantage thanschools like Valparaiso and Florida Gulf Coast? The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided .Even worse, imagine athletes just coming to college for the money. We call college athletes amateurs. Oxford's definition of amateur is "a person who engages in a pursuit, especially a sport, on an unpaid basis. " The keyword is unpaid. The history of the word " amateur" dates back to the F rench word "amator”, which means lover. Essentially, college athletes should be playing their sport for the love of the game, not the money that would be given to them.Rules should not be made for the minority, and in this instance only two percent of athletes play professional sports . The expected career span of that two percent is 10 years, three and a half years in the National Football League (NFL). An astonishing 80 percent of retired NFL players go broke within three years of retirement ,60 percent in the NBA within five years. This is why the NCAA and its member institutions should apply a "stay and learn”, rule.This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to college, they will get paid in scholarships that last the entire educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they earn a degree in the area of study they choose . That money from going professional is going to run out sometime, but the degree will always be there.Look at college athletics for what it is and should always be, a high-pressure learning environment and an avenue to earn an education. A much more fun extension of the classroom if you will. After all, they are called student-athletes.12. How can the salary difference influence college teams?A. It is likely to promote cooperation.B. It can increase their independence.C. It can lead to more communication.D. It will probably cause more imbalance .13. Why does the author give explanations to the word "amateur”?A. To give an individual comment.B. To confirm the origin of the word.C. To make the point more authoritative .D. To provide an example for the argument.14. How will college athletes benefit from the "stay and learn,, rule?A. Increase their earnings.B. Get trained for scholarships.C. Ensure themselves to get a degree.D. Continue their professional careers.15. What does the author mainly argue about in the text?A. For money or for career?B. A college education or not?C. Going professional or being amateur?D. To pay or not to pay college athletes?第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event. He developed schizophrenia(精神分裂症) later and spent many years without a home.Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer. After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT.“I interviewed him on Austin’s homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT, so I decided to help him,” said Chandler. “He had got 87 hours, very close to a degree. Now, with changing degree requirements, he only has 64 hours to go.”With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned an adviser by UT’s College of Fine Arts. “It' s the greatest gift I’ve ever received,” Ca rter said. “He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn't have done it without him”After seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees (学费)without telling Chandler his name.Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement, “David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament (证明) to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily. We’ re going to help him through his remaining course work.”4. Why did Carter stop studying in the university?A. He hurt an artist.B. He couldn’t afford his study.C. He got a strange disease.D. He had a hand injury.5.

To finish his homework on helping others.6. Which of the following words can best describe Chandler?A. Brave.B. Honest.C. Warm-hearted.D. Strong-minded.7. What can we learn from Dempster’s words in the statement?A. He encourages Carter to study hard.B. He supports students who never give up.C. He calls on other students to help Carter.D. He suggests other students learn from Carter.CWhen faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep, which do you choose? Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep,” researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. "The chances of you ‘snoozing’ and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero.”According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button，you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won’t know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.8. What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2?A. People do it just for fun.B. It is a common practice.C. People take it seriously.D. It is a bit childish.9. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button?A. It is meaningful in the long term.B. It makes people become lazy.C. It brings us a sense of satisfaction.D. It affects our body and mind.10. What’s the author’s suggestion on getting the best out of alarms?A. Forming a good sleep habit.B. Trying to relax ourselves.C. Making use of willpower.D. Using an extra alarm.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Ways to keep refreshed in the morning.B. The snooze button and people's character.C. Should you rely on the snooze button?D. How to avoid the light sleep mode?DA storm hit Houston, Texas, on Tuesday. It brought heavy rains and rising flood-waters. By Tuesday night, some parts of the city had received 10 inches of rain. Police and firefighters helped people move to safe places. They also saved people from cars and buses that were stuck on roads.Certain areas around Houston were hit really hard. In just four hours, more than seven inches of rain fell in Sugar Land in the southwest of Houston. Cars could not pass through any of the areas main roadways. On Twitter, Sugar Land city officials asked people to get to high ground.Tuesday’s rain hit parts of Texas that Hurricane Harvey had already damaged almost two years ago. Hurricane Harvey in August, 2017 was the second most costly hurricane in UShistory. It caused $125 billion worth of damage in Texas. In the Houston area, 36 people died and about 150, 000 homes were flooded.A spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management spoke with the Houston Chronicle. The spokesman said that this week’s rain is “not in any way a Harvey-level event.”But the worst may not be over yet. People will have a break from the heavy rain on Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service, the Texas Gulf Coast will continue to experience heavy rain later in the week.

AThe Breakfast ClubStarred by John Hughes，1985Five high school students with nothing in common are forced to spend an entire Saturday together in detention(拘留)．At seven am．they had nothing to say，but by four pm，they had bared their souls to each other and became good friends—the Jock，the Brain，the Criminal，the Princess，and the Kook．They were finally able to talk about themselves while they were forced to stay together．Pretty in Pink．Starred by Howard Deutch，1986Pretty in Pink looks at the central dilemma of adolescence where one’s dreams are much larger than one’s confidence．Molly Ringwald plays Andie Walsh，a poor girl living with her father and working in a downtown record store．The school she attends is full of wealthy snobs(势利小人)and she likes a rich kid Blane．There is nothing new about the plot—rich boy and poor girl loveeach other and snobbery nearly destroys the romance．CluelessStarred by Amy Heckerling and Alicia Silverstone，1995Cher，played by Alicia Silverstone，is one of the most popular girls at Beverly Hills High School where rich kids hang out，talk to each other on cell phones and occasionally attend classes．At 15 going on 16，Cher has it all—a white Jeep，an extensive wardrobe with a computer to help select the perfect dress，and an unbelievable ability to charm，cajole and whine(哄骗和哭诉)until others obey her requests．The dialogue is wiry and entertaining．1．The Breakfast Club is about__________．A．a prince and a princess B．several criminalsC．several students D．some tourists2．we can conclude from Pretty in Pink that__________．A．the love between Molly and Blane aren’t going smoothlyB．Molly and Blane eventually get marriedC．Molly’s and Blane’a parents quite agree to their loveD．the love between Molly and Blane defeats snobbery3．Which of the following is starred by Howard Deutch?A．The Breakfast Club．B．Pretty in Pink．C．Clueless．D．Beverly Hill Schoo1．4．We can infer that the Breakfast Club，Pretty in Pink and Clueless are three_____．A．world-famous paintings about religionB．Disney’s cartoons about love storiesC．films about teenagersD．ancient Roman fairy talesBPeople back in the United States are always asking me，“What’s it like to live in China?”They hope to hear strange stories about weird food and cultural conflicts．Instead，I tell them that living in China is like being a baby．Please don’t misunderstand me．I don’t think that Chinese people are babies．I am ababy．Or at least，I become one when I leave my house．That’s because babies can’t read，and when I leave my house in Beijing，I'm illiterate(不识字的)．This can be dangerous．If a sign says，“Watch out for big angry bears，”in Chinese，I will continue walking，completely ignorant of my peril(危险)．Then a bear will eat me for breakfast．I have started to recognize a few characters，but they seem impossible to ever learn withouta lifetime of study．When I see a character I like．I give it a name．There is“The Square，”“The Octopus(章鱼)，”“The-upside-down Octopus，”and my favorite，“Upside-down Octopus on an airplane．”However，I still don’t know their sounds or meanings．They are just beautiful mysteries to my eyes．Because I can’t read，city streets present an endless series of enigmas．If I see a business，I wonder，“Is that a restaurant? A dentist? A lawyer’s office?”Once，while hungry，I saw a big colorful sign．I walked in and asked a realtor(房屋中介)to see the drink menu．Speaking of menus，eating at restaurant is a daily misadventure．Many places

faces in China．D．How the author overcomes difficulties in learning Chinese．CMorgan Holmes had taken part in Boy Scouts of America activities for a few years，but she only became a full member recently．This was because the Boy Scouts began accepting girls from fifth grade to 12th grade into a new program called Scouts BSA．It brings girls the opportunities boys have，including becoming Eagle Scouts，the highest rank of the Boy Scouts．“I'm loving it，”Morgan，now 17，said．“I finally get to wear the uniform now．”Six middle school girls have joined Morgan in Troop48 in Scouts BSA．Some were members of Girls Scouts，and some have brothers in the Boy Scouts．Now brothers and sisters can take part in activities．Morgan knows Boy Scouts activities well．Starting when she was 14，Morgan went on high-adventure outings like hiking 1 00 miles and shooting guns．But she’d never been able to progress to become an Eagle Scout．Now Morgan’s goal is to reach the top rank of Eagle Scout．She regularly runs a mile to build up her body．Now，she’s planning on camping in the snow．“The journey to get there is really exciting，”she said．Since Boy Scout activities are led by the Scouts themselves，Morgan，as the oldest girl，will be organizing activities and teaching the girls to tie knots and other skills．One of those girls in Troop48 is Nicolette U1rich，who is also in the Girl Scouts．Her mother，Sasha Ulrich，said she sees，the Boy Scouts as more leadership oriented and the Girl Scouts as more culturally oriented．This will be shown by all upcoming gathering where girls will learn about different food and cultures from around the world．“Girl Scouts is a great group and she’11 continue to do that．”Sasha said．“But she also wanted the opportunities provided by the Boy Scouts．”9．What did Morgan want to do after becoming a full member of Boy Scouts?A．She wanted to join in the activities with her brother．B．She wanted to challenge herself to become，all Eagle Scout．C．She wanted to compete with boys in all activities.D．She wanted to hike long distances and shoot guns with boys．10．What is the best word to describe Morgan?A．Communicative B．Helpful C．Creative D．Adventurous 11．What does Sasha Ulrich think of Boy Scouts?A．It is more culturally oriented．B．It helps to build teamwork．C．It helps to improve leadership．D．It is more interesting than Girl Scouts．DOne step too farScientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years now，and it looks like they’ve finally cracked(破解)the code．But while this may seem like a great step forward in science，some also believe that it’s one step back when it comes to ethics．In August，a group of scientists from the US and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo and remove a genetic mutation(突变)that would have led to heart disease，reported The Guardian．This was achieved with the help of CRISPR，a gene-editing tool that allows scientists to“cut and paste”human DNA．Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully，the benefits of gene editing have already been tested in living patients．In 2015，a five-month-old girl from the UK was saved after doctors used edited cells to fight off her cancer．As of today，she’s alive and well．And in the US last year，scientists managed to remove HIV cells from several patients by editing the genes inside their bodies．Some people hope that in the future，diseases or birth detects could simply be “edited out”．However，others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies，giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence．“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest‘upgrades’for their children，leading to even greater inequality than we already live with，”Marcy Darnovsky，director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics，told BBC News．In spite of these ethical concerns，experts say it’s not possible to create the“perfect”human being．Despite the progress scientists have made，We don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn child great brainpower or amazing singing abilities．“Right now，we know nothing about genetic enhancement，”Hank Greely，a director of sciences at Stanford University，US，told The New York Times．“We’re never going to be able to say，honestly，‘This embryo looks like it would score high on the two-part SAT．’”So it looks like if we want good exam results，or to impress people with our piano skills，we’11 have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work—at least for now．12．The underlined word“alter”in Paragraph 1 probably means________．A．record B．change C．remove D．increase13．Why do some people consider human gene editing a step backwards?A．They don’t think it is an effective way to light diseases．B．They are concerned that it could lead to genetic mutations．C．They think it could lead to designer babies and increased inequality．D．They worry that it could make parents abandon children with birth defects．14．What was the first successful example of human embryo gene editing?A．A genetic mutation related to heart disease was removed by scientistsB．A newborn baby with cancer was saved by edited cells．C．HIV cells were removed from patients’bodies．D．Some birth defects were simply edited out．15．What can we conclude from the text?A．Gene editing is regarded as the perfect way to treat birth defects．B．There is still a long way to go to fully understand human genes．C．Gene editing could help enhance human intelligence in the near future．D．Scientists are pessimistic about the future of gene editing．第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

On March 12, the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic （流行病） of coronavirus.The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen. The six cash registers had to be kept open from10 a. m. until close・ It was nuts. I didn't have time to eat lunch, and whenever one of us on cash had to usethe bathroom, we9d have to bring in a coworker off the floor to cover for us.Since then, the atmosphere in the store has been different. Customers are mostly considerate, but whenever someone coughs or sneezes, everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow. I've even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups. One guy even came in with a plastic1Walmart bag wrapped around his entire head, with a slit cut out for his eyes.A lot of my coworkers have left to avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic. Grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work, but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage. I realized that I feel more exhausted than normal even though I'm working the same hours.There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos. I've overheard people talking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for those stuck at home. And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work. I know everyone is worried, but it's uneless having the same scary conversations day after day.

Here is what it's like working in the pandemicCBlue whales, the earth's largest animals, call to others of their kind, though exactly what these cries communicate remains a mystery . But these sounds have begun evolving （演变）. Since at least the 1960s,the pitch （音调）of Antarctic blue whales has downshifted. Scientists have theories as to why: all involving humans.The deepening of their sounds is not unique. Many blue whales around the world have also dropped their pitch . In a study last year that analyzed more than 1 million individual recordings of whale calls, scale shifts were found across species, and among populations that don't necessarily interact with one another. This is to say, whatever has caused the change doesn't seem to have a specific geographic origin.The underwater noises caused by ocean traffic and at-sea industries might seem a likely criminal.However, scientists have identified lowered pitches even across populations of whales that live in seas without major shipping routes.One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts. As their populations have grown, then , the whales may have decreased their volume because they are more likely to be communicating over short distances.Last year's study of whale calls also suggests a threatening reason for the drop in pitch, however. Perhaps whales don't need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceansmade acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, meanwhile, may also indirectly influence whale voices in other ways. Recent study shows that, during the summer, the whales must use their top volume to be heard in the cracking ice — a natural sound increased by unnatural processes, as rising temperatures worsen ice-melt. So the impacts of a warming planet may modulate animal sounds even in remote places.8. To what extent is whales' pitch drop?A. Across the species.B. In the Antarctic ocean .C. Among some populations.D. Within one million individuals.9. What causes the evolving of whales' pitch according to the text?2A. Less communication and more threat.B. Protection efforts and acidic sea water.C. Sharp decrease of whales' populations；D. Underwater noises by ships and industries.10. What does the underlined word "modulate" mean in the last paragraph?A. Produce.B. Damage.C. Balance.D. Change.11. What can we infer from the text?A. Man is the soul of nature.B. Man and nature are in one.C. Nature pardons no mistakes .D. Nature has the final say over man.DThose driving forward the movement of paying college athletes are forgetting the reason one goes to college: to get an education .In an era struggling for competitive balance, how would the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) keep from giving schools like Kentucky and Alabama even more of a competitive advantage than schools like Valparaiso and Florida Gulf Coast? The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided .Even worse, imagine athletes just coming to college for the money. We call college athletes amateurs. Oxford's definition of amateur is "a person who engages in a pursuit, especially a sport, on an unpaid basis. " The keyword is unpaid. The history of the word " amateur" datesback to the French word "amator”, which means lover. Essentially, college athletes should be playing their sport for the love of the game, not the money that would be given to them.Rules should not be made for the minority, and in this instance only two percent of athletes play professional sports . The expected career span of that two percent is 10 years, three and a half years in the National Football League (NFL). An astonishing 80 percent of retired NFL players go broke within three years of retirement ,60 percent in the NBA within five years. This is why the NCAA and its member institutions should apply a "stay and learn”, rule.This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to college, they will get paid in scholarships thatlast the entire educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they earn a degree in the area of study they choose . That money from going professional is going to run out sometime, but the degree will always be there.Look at college athletics for what it is and should always be, a high-pressure learning environment and an avenue to earn an education. A much more fun extension of the classroom if you will. After all, they are called student-athletes.12. How can the salary difference influence college teams?A. It is likely to promote cooperation.B. It can increase their independence.C. It can lead to more communication.D. It will probably cause more imbalance .13. Why does the author give explanations to the word "amateur”?A. To give an individual comment.B. To confirm the origin of the word.C. To make the point more authoritative .D. To provide an example for the argument.14. How will college athletes benefit from the "stay and learn,, rule?A. Increase their earnings.B. Get trained for scholarships.C・ Ensure themselves to get a degree.D. Continue their professional careers.15. What does the author mainly argue about in the text?A. For money or for career?B. A college education or not?C. Going professional or being amateur?D. To pay or not to pay college athletes?第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
