山西省长治市2023-2024学年高二下学期6月期末英语试题
山西省长治市2023-2024学年高二下学期6月期末英语试题一、阅读理解Want to have an art trip? The first thing you might think of is museums. And while they’re must-sees, these art galleries in Barcelona are equally as interesting. From limited exhibitions to displays of local Barcelona artists, these galleries allow for fresh takes on art.SendaThis historical gallery of Barcelona was founded in 1993 and recently moved to Trafalgar Street in 2015. The gallery supports young artists, but also known names from the national and international levels. It speaks all kinds of artistic languages.Ramon ArtThis gallery was founded in 2003. It has its origins in a large antique shop and focuses on paintings and drawings. Ramon Art has a modernized and cozy space offering contemporary approaches to unique and high-quality artwork, as well as a private gallery space with some pieces available to buy, which is a major attraction to visitors.MarlboroughThe Marlborough family of galleries was founded in London in 1946 and praised for being the first gallery to show the German Expressionists like Henry Moore and Francis Bacon. Then some branch galleries were established around the world. In 1962, the New York gallery was opened, followed by Tokyo and Madrid. They also have spaces in Chile, Florida and Barcelona, which was opened in 2006.Sala ParésIt was the first to open in all of Spain. In 1991, contemporary art gallery Galeria Trama opened in the same street, sharing an address with the Sala Parés. This gallery features realistic paintings as well as other contemporary works such as sculpture, photography, video art and other styles.1．What is an advantage of Ramon Art?A．It is located in Barcelona.B．It has a public gallery space.C．It focuses on modern paintings.D．It offers some artworks to buy.2．Where is the main Marlborough gallery?A．In London.B．In New York.C．In Tokyo.D．In Barcelona. 3．Which of the following galleries was the first to open in Barcelona?A．Senda.B．Ramon Art.C．Sala Parés.D．Galeria Trama.Jake was working on a roof installing solar panels as usual when he heard something urgent. Below him, parents, neighbors, and volunteers were gathering. They were looking for a 5-year-old girl, who had disappeared from her home. Dropping his tools and climbing down, Jake joined the search party.The air was thick with anxiety. Contrary to others, Jake found himself drawn towards a rural trail winding along a stream that led to a nearby marsh (湿地). The search had spread out in all directions, but it was this path that called to him.His steps were quick, driven by an intuition (直觉) that he couldn’t quite explain. He hadn’t gone far when a sight struck him. There, in the shallow water of the stream was a T-shirt. Jake’s heart sank. As his eyes swept the watery expanse along with another volunteer named Brendan, they spotted the little girl standing in the water.Thankfully, she was alive. But, as he called out, he realized she wasn’t listening. Without hesitation, Jake lifted the little girl up from the water and passed her to Brendan. She was scared, no doubt, but safe now. “I just had this feeling,” Jake recalled. It was a mix of modesty, wonder and pride in his voice, but above all it was a relief to him and the girl’s parents, neighbors as well as volunteers.The community’s gratitude was immense. Jake, a simple man working on a roof, had become an unexpected hero in the search for a young girl. His willingness to set his work aside to help a group of strangers shows how powerful community and intuition challenge us to act beyond ourselves. Sometimes, heroes come from the most ordinary circumstances as they’re driven by the purest desire to do good deeds.4．Why did Jake decide to walk along a stream?A．He knew where the missing girl was.B．He wanted to make a difference.C．He did it out of his sixth sense D．He had noticed something unusual. 5．What’s Jake’s main feeling when recalling his experience of saving the girl?A．Relief.B．Fear.C．Regret.D．Pride.6．What do we know about the people looking for the girl?A．They were Jake’s neighbors.B．They were strangers to Jake.C．They didn’t know each other.D．They were a group of volunteers.7．What is a suitable title for the text?A．Willingness to Help Others is Fulfilled B．An Ordinary Person Makes a WonderC．An Unexpected Hero in a Search and Rescue D．The Reward to Rescuing Others in DangerEach day, millions of people make a cup of coffee in the morning to help get their day started. Like most things in history, someone had to be the first to think of roasting beans for their caffeine kick. According to legend, it was a 9th-century Ethiopian goat-herder named Kaldi.Kaldi observed his goats behaving energetically after eating the red berries from a nearby tree. He tried some of them himself and was soon acting as hyper as his herd. He then brought some to a monastery (修道院), where their stimulating effects during long hours of prayer were cause for concern. The monks thought that these beans were to blame and threw the tree’s beans onto a fire to destroy them, but the pleasant smell convinced them to give coffee a second chance. They put the roasted beans into warm water and coffee was born.However, it’s widely believed that the practice of chewing coffee beans as a stimulant had been around for centuries. People would break them to mix with butter and animal fat to preserve and eat on long journeys. Similarly, Sudanese people s chewed on coffee beans to help them survive their difficult voyages on trade routes.The cultivation and trade of the beans for the drink began in Arabic countries in the 14th century and spread throughout Egypt, Syria, and Turkey. It’s said not a single coffee plant existed outside of Arabia or Africa until the 1600s. In 1616, Pieter Broeck brought some coffee back to Amsterdam. Soon, the Dutch took possession of the European trade, followed by the French in the Caribbean, the Spanish in Central America, and the Portuguese in Brazil. The drink eventually made its way to America.Today, the average American spends about $2000 a year on coffee. And while Kaldi may not be a well-known name like Folgers, he still gets his due. The St. Louis-based Kaldi’s Coffeetakes its name from the most energetic goat herder in history.8．What does the underlined word “hyper” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Embarrassed.B．Shocked.C．Excited.D．Amused.9．How did people use coffee beans before Kaldi’s discovery?A．By mixing them with animal fat.B．By chewing some to keep them energetic.C．By breaking them to mix with butter.D．By making them a product to sell. 10．Who took over the trade of coffee in Brazil?A．The French.B．The Dutch.C．The Spanish.D．The Portuguese. 11．What can we infer about Kaldi from the text?A．He created a world-known brand of coffee.B．He was the first to trade roasted beans.C．He changed the average American’s lifestyle.D．He deserved to be honored for hiscontribution.An ancient species of great ape likely disappeared hundreds of thousands of years ago when climate change put their favorite fruits out of reach during dry seasons.The species is known as Gigantopithecus blacki, who once lived in southern China. It stood 3 meters tall and weighed up to 295 kilograms. It represents the largest great ape known to scientists. “It’s just a massive animal — just really, really big. When food starts to be scarce, it’s so big it can’t climb trees to explore new food sources,” said Renaud White, a researcher at Australia’s Southern Cross University, who helped write the study.The huge apes likely looked similar to the modern orangutan. It survived for around 2 million years in the forested land of China’s Guangxi area. They ate plants that included fruits and flowers — until the environment began to change.Starting about 600,000 years ago, Guangxi’s forests began producing fewer fruits. The area was experiencing more periods of dry weather. Researchers examined sediment (沉积物) found in underground areas called caves to learn more about the changes and their effects. The giant apes did not disappear quickly. They likely went extinct sometime between 215,000 and 295,000 years ago.As the climate changed, smaller apes may have been able to climb trees to search for different food. But the giant apes ate more food that provided fewer nutrients, including tree barkand thin grasses called reeds. When the forest changed, there was not enough food preferred by the species.Most of what scientists know about the extinct great apes comes from studying their remains. The fossilized bones they studied included teeth and four large lower jaw bones. All of the fossils were found in southern China. No complete skeletons (骨架) have been found. Between around 2 million and 22 million years ago, many species of great apes lived in Africa, Europe, and Asia. Today, only gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans and humans remain.12．Why did Gigantopithecus blacki go extinct?A．For a lack of their companions.B．For a lack of their new food.C．As a result of habitat loss.D．As a result of climate change.13．How did researchers learn about the changes from the text?A．By comparing the recorded data.B．By studying the remains of these apes.C．By unearthing the buried caves.D．By counting the bones of the skeletons. 14．What can we learn about great apes from the text?A．All remains of them have been destroyed.B．They once got close to humans in southern China.C．Apes tended to live in the less developed countries.D．There were diverse species of great apes ever living on earth.15．What does the text focus on?A．The effect of climate change on apes.B．The evolution of some species of apes.C．The change of natural habitats.D．The food preferred by some species of apes.Practicing self-care every day can have a big impact on mental health. To fulfill that, you can create a personal mental-health list. When you feel anxious or upset, instead of scrolling through social media, you can pick something off the list. 16 The following ideas may get you started.Get a little exercise. Go for a walk, or a run. Do some jumping jacks. Play with your dog. Dance alone in your room. It doesn’t matter what it is, getting up and moving can be a great way to “reset” your brain. Research shows that daily exercise can improve mood, prevent depression and help deal with anxiety and anger. 17Connect with nature. Spending time in nature is a part of self-care practice. 18 A review of research on young people has found that spending time outside can reduce stress, make you more resilient, improve quality of life and even help with ADHD symptoms. In other words: Go touch some grass.19 Just finding the songs and noticing how you react to them can be very powerful. Listening to music can light up different parts of your brain. Research shows that listening to music can even improve your mood. There are music therapists who help clients improve their well-being through listening to or perhaps making music.Make art. You can go free-form, or even use an adult coloring book. Maybe you’ll want to fill in mandalas. 20 When you start to feel bad, grab these art supplies. Use these media instead of reaching for your phone to try and relieve your mood with social media.A．Try to take breaks when you need.B．Try to do at least one thing from the list.C．Keep some paper and art supplies beside you.D．List some cheerful songs and keep listening to them.E．When you are feeling anxious, have a good memory of it.F．You can go for walks, water you plants and watch them grow.G．It can even change the structure of your brain and boost memory.二、完形填空When I started my Ph. D．, I knew my work was producing much waste, but I took it for granted. That all 21 one day when I saw plastic waste piled against the wall.I went to my adviser and decided to create 3D-printed lab 22 out of our waste. But the project didn’t go smoothly. After months of 23 , I felt worried about my dream.It was a relief when my colleagues were 24 to join us. We created a group devoted to 25 other greener ways. We began meeting every month to discuss some 26 . We introduced new recycling bins to each lab after learning that some waste could be recycled if it was sorted 27 . And we also tracked the energy consumption of lab equipment. By doing these, we could create 28 on how to use each device.Our most energy-hungry devices were the ultra-low-temperature freezers, each of which consumed more energy than a typical household. So, we started an institutewide (全院的) freezer 29 , asking labs to remove samples that were not 30 anymore and combine what remained in fewer freezers. Through those efforts, we managed to turn off several freezers. We also 31 the temperature of several freezers after realizing some samples didn’t have to be stored so 32 .I’m still disappointed that I couldn’t 33 my 3D-printing dream, and I’m determined enough to keep trying. I’ve also learned that if one 34 isn’t working, sometimes it’s best to take a step back and look for other solutions. I’m 35 that with my colleagues’ help, we were able to do that.21．A．happened B．worked C．changed D．passed 22．A．tools B．experiments C．tests D．buildings 23．A．preparing B．delaying C．dreaming D．struggling 24．A．hesitant B．eager C．likely D．nervous 25．A．getting through B．setting down C．searching for D．setting off 26．A．solutions B．topics C．articles D．samples 27．A．properly B．effortlessly C．casually D．slightly 28．A．questions B．pictures C．instructions D．signs 29．A．game B．evaluation C．design D．challenge 30．A．involved B．needed C．issued D．licensed 31．A．increase B．set C．control D．keep 32．A．long B．deep C．cold D．fresh 33．A．forget B．achieve C．abandon D．find 34．A．position B．power C．direction D．approach 35．A．anxious B．curious C．grateful D．hopeful三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

No matter whether your idea of a hike is a leisure walk or climbing the highest mountain on Earth, we've got you covered. Below are four best hikes inthe world.Torres del Paine W CircuitLocation (位置): Patagonia. ChileDistance: 37 + milesTime: 5~6 daysBest time to go: October to JanuaryThe W Circuit is one of the most recommended hikes you'll find. Not only will you appreciate the diverse landscapes and striking granite pillars (花岗岩柱子), but you'll probably meet some new friends along the way.Grand Canyon Rim - to - Rim HikeLocation: Arizona, the United StatesDistance: 48 milesTime: 1~3 daysBest time to go: May to June, September to OctoberThere's no better way to experience one of the greatest wonders in the world.

Praised byNational Geographic, the Yosemite Grand Traverse will take you through waterfalls and green mountaintops.1.Which of the following is the best time for the hike in Patagonia, Chile?A.AprilB.MayC.AugustD.December2.Where should you go for a less crowded hike?A.JordanB.Patagonia, ChileC.Arizona, the United StatesD.California, the United States3.What can you do along the Yosemite Grand Traverse?A.Plant sequoia treesB.Appreciate waterfallsC.Visit local templesD.Climb granite pillarsBPlastic is piling up in ecosystems all over the world. Although its harmful impacts on both species and ecosystems have been documented, a few animals—like bowerbirds and hermit crabs—are doing what they can to recycle it. And according to a recent study, wild bees in Canada have joined the effort, which is a rare observation of behavioral flexibility in species especially insects, in increasingly plastic-rich environments.The researchers found two species of leafcutter bees putting plastic into their nests. One of the bees they studied, the alfalfa leafcutter bee, normally bites off pieces of leaves and flowers while the second bee gathers sticky substances from trees. Leafcutter bees don't build big nests or store honey like honeybees, choosing instead small nests in underground holes, tree holes or cracks（裂缝）in buildings. But the researchers found that three of eight brood cells（育雏巢室）contained pieces of plastic bags, replacing 23 percent of the cut leaves in each cell on average.While they don't make honey,alfalfa leafcutter bees still make money for theU. S. and Canadian farmers bypollinating（给......传授花粉）crops including alfalfa , carrots and melons. The European insects were introduced to North America in the 1930s for that purpose, and they've since become wild, joining the continent's many native species of leafcutter bees.In a separate study conducted in Argentina between 2017 and 2018, researchers found a bee nest made entirely of plastic, which consisted of three separate cells. It's the first known example of such construction worldwide. Compared to the other nests the researchers examined, which were made of natural materials, this one had a pretty lower success rate of the bees' survival. One of the cells had a dead baby bee , another seemed to have housed an adult that had left the nest, and the third was unfinished.4. What does the animals' use of plastic show according to the study?A. How widely plastic is used.B. How strange the behavior of wildlife is.C. How some wildlife is adapting to plastic.D. How plastic pollution has harmed them.5. What do leaves mean to alfalfa leafcutter bees?A. Food.B. Shelter.C A plastic substitute. D. Traditional nest materials.6. Which is one characteristic of leafcutter bees?A. They have great economic value.B. They store honey like honeybees.C. They prefer to live in tree holes.D. They have evolved into a new species.7. What was the nest made entirely of plastic like?A. It might be warmer.B. It might be unhealthy.C. It might be easy to finish.D. It might be recyclable.CA satellite is about to demonstrate a new way of capturing space junk with magnets for the first time. With the frequency of space launches dramatically increasing in recent years, the potential for a disastrous collision above Earth is continually growing. Now, Japanese orbital clean-up company Astroscale is testing a potential solution.The firm's End-of-Life Services by Astroscale demonstration mission is scheduled to lift off on 20 Marchaboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. It consists of two spacecraft: a smal “client” satellite and a larger “servicer” satellite, or “chaser”. The smaller satellite is equipped with a magnetic (磁力的) plate which allows the chaser todock withit.The two stacked spacecraft will perform three tests once in orbit, each of which will involve the servicer satellite releasing and then recapturing the client satellite. The first test will be the simplest, with the client satellite drifting a short distance away and then being recaptured. In the second test, the servicer satellite will set the client satellite tumbling before catching up with it and matching its motion to grab it.Finally, if those two tests go well, the chaser will live up to its name by letting the client satellite float a few hundred metres away before finding it and attaching to it. All of these tests will be performed autonomously, with little to no human input once they are set in motion.“These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before in space - they are very different to, say, an astronaut controlling a robotic arm on the International Space Station,” says Jason Forshaw at AstroscaleUK.“This is more of an autonomous mission.” At the end of the tests, both spacecraft will burn up in Earth's atmosphere.If companies wanted to use this capability, they would have to attach a magnetic plate to their satellites so they could be captured later. Because of the growing space garbage problem, many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites once they run out of fuel or fail, so this could be a fairly simple likely plan, Forshaw says. Right now, each chaser can only nab one satellite, but Astroscale is working on a version that could drag three or four out of orbit at once.8. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "dock with" in Paragraph 2?A. Deal with.B. Keep up with.C. Join together.D. Crash.9. Why many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites?A. Because of the growing space waste problem.B.

When I was on my research to find the perfect place to study in, I considered many aspects: a safe place, a city where there were companies devoted to marketing or technology, a place where speaking Spanish and English was an advantage and a school where I could learn about digital strategies (数字策略). After comparing and evaluating many cities and universities. I finally decided onAustin.Since I arrived inAustin,Texas. I had been living inside the university where I had a private room and shared common areas with more students. University life was not very different from the life inMexicoand classes weresemblableand the way of socializing too. However, in theUnited States, the classes were more practical and teachers encouraged you to be self-responsible and complete your tasks.The classes that I was taking were related to social media, digital marketing and advertising. I was very excited to be able to study technology-related courses.What I liked most about the experience was being able to live with students from many places, which allowed me to learn from other cultures and to share mine with other students. Also, international student services usually organized events and tours that helped me to get to know the city and the school.I certainly think that studying abroad is a beneficial experience. It makes us capable of understanding cultural differences and accepting diversity. Personally, I would suggest that you first determine what your goals are by going abroad, research the opportunities and lifestyle, evaluate your universities,and finally decide on the one where you feel more comfortable, connecting with your values and way of seeing life.12.

2019-2020学年山西省长治学院附属太行中学高三英语下学期期末考试试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（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ANothing beats live music, but the venue makes a difference. When you're able to score tickets to an incredible concert in an incredible place, you won't forget the experience. Here are some of the coolest music venues from around the world. If you haven't been to any of these, you've got some traveling to do.Red Rocks, Morrison, the United StatesRed Rocks might be the most beautiful and famous venue in the United States. At 6,450 feet above sea level, Red Rocks is a geologically formed natural stage. Its massive sandstone provides a perfect stage for jam bands. If you're into the blues and jazz, you'll have no trouble finding something in line with your interests.Meet Factory, Prague, Czech RepublicSmallest venues on this list, Meet Factory is an art gallery, theater, and music venue. The venue only accommodates 1,000 people, so you won't see any huge names come through. Still, it's a great place to see up-and-coming local acts, and if you've got an eye for contemporary art, you'll love your time here.Arena of NÎmes, NÎmes, FranceOriginally built around A. D. 70, the Arena of Nimes presents concertgoers with an interesting question: Should they enjoy the music, or marvel at the architecture? The Arena is, after all, one of the world's best-preserved Roman theaters. Many major touring acts plan stops at the Arena of Nimes, especially during the venue's annual festival.Sydney Opera House, Sydney, AustraliaThe Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most famous performing venues. I's also one of the most distinctive buildings in Sydney, thanks to the breathtaking design by Danish architect Utzon. It hosts about 40 events per week, so whether you're into jazz, rock, classical music, or opera, you'll find something to watch.1.Where can you enjoy music in natural beauty?A.At Red Rocks.B.At Meet Factory.C.At Arena of Nimes.D.At Sydney Opera House.2.What is special about Meet Factory?A.It enjoys breathtaking scenery.B.It hosts both musical and artistic events.C.It is the largest venue of all.D.It is famous for contemporary music.3.What do the listed music venues have in common?A.They have a long history.B.They are built near the sea.C.They accommodate thousands of people.D.They are beautiful tourist attractions.BWhether for a special holiday, as a way of showing gratitude or just a way of letting someone know you care, gift giving is a universal custom Though the purpose may be similar from place to place, traditions vary widely from one country to the next. A behavior that shows respect in one place might be consideredoffensivesomewhere else. Take a look at unique gifting traditions from around the world.Here in theUS, a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift idea for a wedding. However, in certain European countries likeGermany, people believe that a knife presented as a gift will cut off your friendship. There is a way to break it: Tie a coin to the knife or gift box. The receiver then returns the coin to you as a “payment”to remove the bad luck.There's a well-known Italian wedding tradition where the groom's (新郎) tie is cut into a number of tiny pieces. Wedding guests can then "buy” these tie pieces in exchange for cash. It's a fun way to give money to the new couple thatleaves guests with a wedding souvenir.As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture, behaviors such as touching, passing money, or giving gifts are to be done with the right hand. Different from some other cultures , an odd number (奇数) of thingsor currency represents good luck. For example, £11 should be given rather than £10.InZimbabwe, it is common to directly ask for a gift. When you receive a gift without asking for it, even if the giver's family is poor, it's the worst way to reject the offering. Also, expressing thanks with actions is better than giving thanks orally (口头地).These may include jumping up and down, dancing, or whistling.4. What does the underlined word “offensive“ in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Rude.B. Creative.C. Suitable.D. Caring.5. How do people prevent friendship breaking down when giving gifts like knives?A. The guests cut the groom's tie into pieces.B. The receiver returns the coin to the giver.C. The giver gives gifts with the right hand.D. The receiver expresses thanks by dancing.6. What can we learn about the gift giving inZimbabwe?A. It is not proper to ask for a gift directly.B. It's better to reject a gift from a poor family.C. One can express thanks by writing letters.D. Showing gratitude with actions is better than words.7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Wayof Showing GratitudeB. A Fun Behavior to Respect PeopleC. Various Gift Giving TraditionsD. A Special Custom of Gift GivingCStarting at university or college can be a big challenge, especially if you’re living away from home for the first time. You arefaced with big questions such as, “Who’s going to do my washing?” “Who’s going to tidy my room?” And, most importantly, “How am I going to eat?” Yes, living on your own means cooking for yourself, and when you’re living a student lifestyle, this could be a recipe for disaster.Students, in the UK at least, often rely on generally available food such as baked beans or cheese on toast. And for the more adventurous, there’s “spag bol” — spaghetti bolognaise(肉酱意粉), that is, cooked spaghetti served with a ground beef and tomato sauce — a budget-friendly solution. If you make a huge pan of it, it can probably last you a whole week! Other low-cost options include jar sauces and oven pizzas.Recently, a British supermarket suggested that rose harissa paste, organic cider vinegar and Swiss bouillon powder were the important food materials needed for the “student cupboard”. But are these items considered essential and affordable for someone on a budget?As a matter of fact, living on a budget is certainly one barrier to eating a well-balanced diet. What’s more, some young people don’t know much about cooking, and for many young students, there are more fun things to go and do than just stay inside and cook. That’s where takeaways and microwave meals come in.What should a health-conscious student really have in his or her food cupboard? Jack Monroe, a food writer and campaigner, has words to say: baked beans, lemon juice, canned tomatoes and tomato ketchup, described as“salt, sugar, vinegar and tomato all in one handy squeezy bottle”. And should that not appeal, you can always wait till your next visit to your mum and dad for a square meal!8. What does the author indicate by “this could be a recipe for disaster”?A. Cooking is difficult for a student.B. Students must cook if they live alone.C. It is important to live independently.D. Learning to cook will cause disasters.9. What is the feature of “spag bol”?A. It is delicious.B. It is healthy.C. It saves money.D. It needs little skill.10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How well-balanced diets can be realized.B. How students can eat healthily with limited money.C. Why living on a budget is common among students.D Why students choose takeaways and microwave meals.11. Why does the author write the last paragraph?A. To advocate visiting parents.B. To offer some tips.C. To promote health consciousness.D. To introduce a writer.DIn 1990, Hal Donaldson was 23 years old, fresh out of college and found himself in Calcutta, India, where he was asked to interview Mother Teresa.Donaldson says about the great woman famed for feeding the hungry, “She wasn't wearing shoes and her ankles were swollen. She sat down with me and was very polite.” After the interview, Mother Teresa asked him, “What are you doing to help the poor?” Donaldson admitted that he was young and wasn't focused on helping others. With a smile on her face, Mother Teresa said, “Everyone can do something.”Those words deeply struck Donaldson and forced him to face some hard truths about himself.Hal Donaldson grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. When he was 12 years old, his parents were hit by a drunk driver; his father died, and his mother was seriously injured. To make ends meet, they went on welfare. Donaldson says, “I had holes in my shoes and clothes. When you're teased at school for that, you just want to escape.”He managed to do just that. Donaldson got into college and turned his focus to making money for himself He says, “I was just trying to find my way out of insignificance. However, it's easy to overlook others along the way. Iwas the guy that would see a homeless person and cross the street, so I didn'thave to confront (面对) him. My focus was on climbing to the top instead of helping those trying to climb with me.”Donaldson returned home from India with a different thought. He traveled to eight cities in America and stayed on the streets and listened tostories of the homeless. “My heart broke,” he says. “I knew I could no longer just live for myself.”Inspired by Mother Teresa's words and the stories he'd heard across America. Donaldson loaded a pick-up truck with $300 worth of groceries and handed them out to anyone who needed help. In 1994, Donaldson created the nonprofit organization, Convoy for Hope, which works with communities across America and around the world. Their work focuses on feeding children, women's empowerment, helping farmers and disaster services.12. What did 23-year-old Hal Donaldson do in India?A. He attended an interview for a college.B. He fed the hungry with Mother Teresa.C. He interviewed Mother Teresa.D. He did something to help the poor.13. What can we learn about Hal Donaldson from paragraph 4?A. He was born with disability.B. He led a hard life as a child.C. He was well treated at school.D. He survived as a parentless boy.14. How does Hal Donaldson describe himself in college?A. Self-centered.B. Sympathetic.C. Popular.D. Casual.15. How did Hal Donaldson change after he returned home from India?A. He preferred traveling to volunteering.B. He suddenly fell in love with journalism.C. He turned his focus to living for himself.D. He gradually devoted himself to helping others.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。

We will be really happy when we get a new car or a big house or get married... The thing as if we are continually searching for happiness in the outside world, we will be veiy disappointed. It seems as if we are forever chasing it and it is always just one step away.Happiness is a short state of mind，just like the state of sadness or joy or anger. It would not be possible for us to be in a happy state 24 hours a day，If you think that sounds laudable, think about being at a funeral when everyone is mourning. Would it feel right to go about with a huge smile on your face?What we go through in our lives helps us grow and understand the value of happiness. We need to be able to respond in all manner of ways according to what we are dealing with, at any given time. All emotions and states are part of the life.Happiness can be found in reaching out and being in relationship with people. Though time or money may be lost in helping others, these will become our happy memories. Happiness is a dance with whatever is in front of you. It is a deep connection to everything around you.

Every year, as the country's biggest national holiday unfolded, a huge flow of travelers would leave staff at the check-in desks facing a dilemma.But with the installment (安装）of artificial intelligence (AI) in dozens of train stations this year，including a facial recognition system which is able to process passenger identification within five seconds and therefore speed up the waiting process, busy scenes started to become something of the past.When a passenger approaches the camera inside the facial recognition system at the station, it scans his face and then quickly compares it with the photograph shown on his identification card in real time. If the information matches，the barrier gates will open and allow the passenger to go through,Such use of facial recognition technology is in line with discussions heard at the recent two sessions meeting, a key annual political event，which focused on the widespread application of a securit y network named Tianwang (“Sky Net” in English) currently being used by China’s public security department.The network, according to reports by the People Daily, has the potential to recognize the facial features of anyone in the world and match them on the spot with photographs on a database of criminal suspects. In fact, it can analyze photographic identity so quickly that it can scan every single Chinese face on the planet in just one second, and it would only take two seconds to scan every face in the world, with an accuracy rate of up to 99.8 percent.Those are just two examples that highlight the development of Chinese visual AI technology, which industiy insiders predict could contribute to powerful growth m the global technology sector this year.28. What's the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph?A. To introduce the following topic of the passage.B. To describe the Spring FestivalC. To inform readers of the development of China.D. To explain the dilemma of the staff.29. What’s the solution to the Spring Festival travel rush?A. Using artificial intelligenceB. Opening more barrier gatesC. Limiting the number of passengers.D. Increasing more staff at the check-in desks,30. What can we know about facial recognition technology?A. Its application leads to a heated discussion.B. Its application is useless to policemen.C.Its operating speed is not yet high enough.D. Its accuracy rate is very high.31.What's the author's attitude towards Chinese visual AI technology?DChinese fashion designer Wang Tao released her fall-winter 2019 collection in New York on February 9, the tenth time her brand，Taoray Wang, has been featured at the New York Fashion Week.Sitting on the front row of the show were U.S. President Donald Trump’s youngest daughter Tiffany Trump with her mother Marla Maples, as well as former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle.Tiffany Trump, a fan of Taoray Wang, wore a custom made white double-breasted coat by Wang to her father’s in auguration(就职典礼)ceremony in January 2017.Wang’s latest collection, Eternity, is partly inspired by Tiffany Trump. In this collection, Wang combines the unconventional beauty of the 1970s,represented by famous American model Lauren Hutton and the female look favored by people such as Tiffany Trump. The two women are from two different age groups with two different styles but both are confident and brave, said Wang while attending her show in Manhattan. “Beauty is not about time or age. It’s all about attitude.”Along with China’s growing economic strength, Chinese fashion has gradually gained worldwide attention，said Wang, adding that only when more and more foreigners wear clothes designed by Chinese people, will it mean a real rise of Chinese fashion on the global stage. Wang has a diverse background. With a degree in history from East China Normal University in Shanghai,Wang got a second degree in fashion from Japan's top fashion institute Tokyo Mode Gakut'n,where she received five international awards in design. She was selected by Junk。
