2020-2021学年广东实验中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案解析
2020-2021学年广东实验中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（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AKate Humble: Books that changed my lifeKate Humble is a writer and broadcaster specializing in science, wildlife and rural affairs. Together with her husband site runs Humble by Nature, a rural skills education centre on working farm near Monmouth intheWyeValley.Winnie the Poohby A A MilneMy father used to read this to me when I was very young — he used different voices for all the animals. The characterization (角色设定) was so clever; we all know someone just like each inhabitant of the HundredAcre Wood: gloomy Eeyore; thick but loyal Pooh; enthusiastic Tigger.A A Milne was masterful in exploring the way they got along together, opening my eyes to how society really works.Last Chance to Seeby Douglas Adams and Mark CarwardineThis book tells of the authors, adventures as they set out to find the rarest of animals, those on the edge of extinction.Their travels are rather exciting and they share a wonderful humour, which really appealed to me. Yet underpinning (支撑) everything is the realization that we can't just sit back and allow species to disappear. PicturePalaceby Paul TherouxI've always loved Theroux's travel writing, but this novel took my breath away. The words aren't long or complicated but, fromthat first paragraph, his writing grabs you by the nose hairs and drags you along. I had an art teacher who told me, “You're only an artist when you've found your own style, not when you're copying someone else, and Theroux represents this.”1. Why did the author mention the characterization ofWinnie the Pooh?A. To indicate the book has realistic values.B. To show how adorable the characters are.C. To persuade people to learn from the characters.D. To prove the writer is good at creating characters.2. What didLast Chance to Seestrike into Kate's heart?A. Curiosity.B. Responsibility.C. Exploration.D. Devotion.3. Which writer does Kate Humble like for his original writing?A. A A Milne.B. Douglas Adams.C. Mark Carwardine.D. Paul Theroux.BIn many countries of the world, people can confidently tell youthe meaning of their town or city, but most people who live inManchester,OxfordorBirminghamwould not be able to explain what the name of their city means. The name of every British town and city, however, has a long history.Two thousand years ago, most people living inBritainwere Celts. Even the word “Britain" is Celtic (凯尔特语).Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called “castra". This is why there are so many place names inEnglandwhich end in "-chester" or “-caster"Manchester, for example.The Romans never reachedWalesorScotland, and many placenames there are Celtic. For example,Welsh place names that begin with “Llan" come from the Celtic word for "church".After the Romans leftBritain, it was attacked by the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that is nowGermanyandHolland. The names of their villages often ended in “-ham" or “-ton". Some got their names from the leader of the village.SoBirminghamfor example, means "Beormund's village”The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them, so we have villages called Upton (village on a hill)——a good place to build a village and Moreton (“village by a lake”)where floods could make life hard. Place names that end in “-ford" (a place where you could cross a river) also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages.Finally, in 1066EnglandbecameNorman—theNormansgave us the place name "grange", which means farm.And how aboutLondon? Experts cannot agree. The Romans called the city Londinium, but they were not the first inhabitants (居民). People once believed that theUnited Kingdom’s capital city got its name from the castle of a King called Lud but this is very unlikely. Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning a fast-flowing river. Like a number of British place names, its history is lost in time.4. The origin of British place names is unfamiliar to many local people because ofA. the death of local languagesB. the long lost history of the namesC. their lack of interest in itD. the frequent changes to the names5. According to the article,Stratfordis most likely a town .A. on a hillB. near a castleC. beside a riverD. with a church6. Which of the following shows the correct order of the arrival of inhabitants inBritain?A. The Celts—The Romans—TheNormans—The Anglo SaxonsB. The Celts—The Romans—The Anglo Saxons—TheNormansC. The Romans—The Celts—The Anglo Saxons—TheNormansD. The Romans―The Anglo Saxons—The Celts—TheNormans7. What doesLondonmean in Celtic?A. RiverB. LondiniumC. LudD. CastleCMany cars in advertisements and on exhibition in the United States are red, blue or green, but almost 75 percent of new cars sold in the United States are black, white, silver orgray.Les Jackson is a reporter who writes about cars. He says the color1 s of cars Americans choose do not show dirt. He says that means the owners wash their cars less in order to save money. And he notes some areas that are suffering from water shortages do not permit people to wash their cars often.Dan Benton works for a company called Axalta, which makes supplies for international car makers. He says white cars are often sold more expensive than cars of other color1 s. And he notes that white cars “absorb(吸收)less energy” than cars of other color1 s. This means temperatures inside them are lower in warmer areas. Benton also says research at Monash University in Australia suggests that there is a lower risk of crashes during the day for white cars compared with darker ones.Car buyers in other countries also like white. Jane Harrington works for PPG Industries, a company that makes paint for cars. She said in China, buyers say white makes a small car look bigger.About 11 percent of cars sold in North America are red and 8 percent are blue. Green has become lesspopular. Benton notes that in the mid-1990s green was the most popular color1 in North America. Today, green is hard to find.Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color1 of their cars —— technology may let owners change their cars’ paint color1 anytime.8. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Most Americans don’t like red cars.B. People in America are not allowed to wash their cars.C. Many people prefer to choose white cars in America.D. Americans may consider the cost of cleaning when choosing cars.9. Why do many people choose white cars?A. They are much cheaper than cars of other color1 s..B. They are much safer while crashing.C. They are bigger than cars of other color1 s.D. They are more comfortable inside in warmer areas.10. What do we know from the text?A. Les Jackson is a member of Axalta.B. Most Americans rarely wash their cars.C. PPG Industries mainly produces cars in China.D. Green cars were once popular in North America.11. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Choices of car color1 sB. How to buy a good car.C. Differences of car color1 s.D. Popular car color1 s in history.DWhen I was trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays, I met by chance some cheap flights to Iceland. After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland, I realized that the country, known as the land of fire and ice, during the cold months of the year could offer me experiences I had never had before.For sure you can’t miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer. Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean is a paradise (乐园) for all those who want to see the northern lights, experience cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal (地热的) baths while the snow is falling on their head.The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car. Distances are huge and public transport in winter is not really common out of the major towns. As we wanted to be even more convenient we decided to rent a small camper (野营车). Sleeping and cooking in a camper saved us a lot of driving, money and gave us the chance tobe always in the right place at the right time.There were also no locals and in many cases no tourist facilities (设备). For us, as we slept in a camper, it was easier. But for tourists traveling by normal cars it is necessary to check the opening times ofhotels and restaurants as many of them run just from June to September.It is amazing to experience how the weather is changing in Iceland. However, Icelanders prefer to stay inside their houses. They have even no time to complain about the weather in December. All they care about is Christmas. They love to decorate their houses, sing Christmas songs and eat typical Christmas food.12. Why is Iceland famous as the land of fire and ice?A. Because tourists would like to play with fire on the ice.B. Because it is too dry to easily cause fire to happen.C. Because it is hot inside a house and cold outside.D. Because there exist hot springs and freezing ice.13. What did the author think of the rented camper?A. It was not only practical but also economical.B. It was convenient but cost them more money.C. It provided the best chance to see the new country.D. It was much faster than other public transport.14. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The Icelanders prefer to live with their family.B. The joy of Christmas drives the freezing weather away.C. December is the coldest month of the year.D. The Icelanders are always positive and stay outside.15. What does this passage most probably come from?A. A textbookB. A scientific reportC. A travel magazineD. A news report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。

2021届广东实验中学高三英语第一次联考试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIt’s the time of year when we start hiking. As you pack, remember to bring your smartphone. Whether you’re going on a short walk or a long trip, there are a handful of apps that can help.MapMyHikeThis app tracks where you're hiking so you have a mapof your route at the end of the hike. It can also track other fitness information like the distance traveled, speed, pace, and even calories burned. You can save the data for your hike, so you can always access the route you look as well as track improvements to your workout. GaiaGPSYou don't always have cellphone service when hiking, but you always want to know where you are. The GaiaGPS app provides that information. Download maps of different parts of the world, and access the GaiaGPS app in the middle of even the most remote trails. The GPS function makes using the maps simple, and the app will also point to areas of interest.Backpacking ChecklistOne of the worst things is being way out on a trail only to discover you left behind something important. That's why checklists are the best. This checklist app helps you build a customized(定制的) list of things to take with you. Organize different lists based on trail lengths or requirements. Track all your essential items by weight and where you can find them.WildObsUsing WildObs, you can record your observations of plants and animals and add them to the database. You can ask the community to help you identify something and keep track of everything you've met, and most importantly, you can become a citizen scientist. By recording what you've seen with this app, you're helping scientists keep track of what's happening to the natural world.1. What can you do with MapMyHike?A. Record your walking speed.B. Design a suitable hiking route.C. Locate popular tourist attractions.D. Store the data of your daily activities.2. What is WildObs intended to do?A. To provide survival skills.B. To lead the way.C. To identify wildlife.D. To help make preparations.3. Which app is most useful before hiking?A. GaiaGPS.B. MapMyHike.C. WildObs.D. Backpacking Checklist.BThose who are concerned that robots are taking over the world can rest easy—for now. Though the androids have proved useful at performing ordinary tasks, they are not ready for the greatest time. At least that appears to be the case atJapan’s Henn-na Hotel chain where over half of the robot staff are being replaced by humans.The first location of the unique hotel opened in July 2015 was atNagasaki’s Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park. The hotel’s owner, Hideo Sawada, promised the hotel to be managed primarily by robots. Guests were greeted and checked-in by a dinosaur robot, while a cute android called Churi, placed inside each room, provided information about attractions. Not surprisingly, the lodging, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records, drew in curious visitors from all around the world.But as the years have passed, the hotel’s main draw is becoming less novel and more unsatisfactory. Also as the robots are “aging”, they are costing more to repair. Among the 283 androids being replaced are the chain’s two dinosaur receptionists. In addition to scaring young guests, they are also unable to photocopy guests’ passports, forcing human employees to step in each time. Also out are the cute Churi robots, which annoyed guests by interrupting their conversations. For example, one guest told The Wall Street Journal that Churi mistook his snoring for a command and kept asking him to repeat his request all night.Sawada told The Wall Street Journal, “When you actually use robots you realize there are places where they aren’t needed—or just annoy people.” While Sawada may be cutting back on his use of androids, the recently-opened Smart LYZ Hotel and the Fly Zoo Hotel inChina, are run entirely by robots, with not a human in sight. Whether the employees have more competence than those “hired” by the Henn-na Hotel chain remains to be seen.4. What makesJapan’s Henn-na Hotel unique?A. Its robot employees.B. Its advanced equipment.C. Its convenient location.D. Its successful management.5. What is the author’s purpose with the example in paragraph 3?A. To entertain readers.B. To prove Churi’s drawback.C. To introduce Churi’s functions.D. To persuade people not to book the hotel.6. What does the owner ofJapan’s Henn-na Hotel think of his robot staff now?A. Attractive.B. Costly.C. Pioneering.D. Disappointing.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Robots Are Taking Over the World.B. The Boom of Robots-staffed Hotel.C. Robot Staff Are Fired For No Competence.D. The First Robots-staffed Hotel Won Guinness World Record.CA nurse has fulfilled (实现) a promise she made to her patient four years ago to one day attend her daughter's graduation from nursing school.Edina Habibovic, 22, graduated from Chamberlain University's College of Nursing in 2020. Her mother, Sevala Habibovic, 46, died in2017 after a two year fight with breast cancer.“I thought the medical field wasn't for me.

2021年广东实验中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及参考答案
2021年广东实验中学高三英语第一次联考试卷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A“Why do I feel cold when I have a fever?” “Why does the sun rise in the east?” I knew the day would come when my little girl Sophie would learn to talk and inevitably (不可避免地) start askingthose questions. The questions themselves weren’t worrying me. I was actually looking forward to seeing where her curiosity would lie.What was bothering (烦恼) me was whether or not I would know the answers. In the age of the smartphone, this may seem like a silly worry. The answers to almost everything would be just one Google away.Still, I struggled with how I was going to prepare to become an all-knowing mother. Then one day, it struck me: I didn’t need to have all the answers. What a great example I could set if I let my daughter know that I, too, was still learning. And I realized how much more I could learn if I took another look at things I thought I already knew the answer to with the curiosity of a child. My little girl’s mind is a beginner’s mind--- curious, open to new ideas, eager to learn, and not based on knowledge that already exists. I decided that I would deal with her questions with a beginner’s mind, too.Once I decided to become more curious, I started noticing that curiosity was becoming more important in the workplace, too. It seems that leaders don't need to have all the answers, but they do need to be curious.Curious about curiosity, I searched for answers and found Albert Einstein’s famous words, “I have no special talent. I am only passionately (热情地) curious.” We mightquibble overthe view that Einstein had no special talent, but there is one thing for certain---he wouldn't have solved the puzzles of the universe without his passionate curiosity. Then I came across another Einstein quote, “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason or existence.”1. The advantage of having a beginner’s mind is that ________.A. people can learn much faster.B. people won't be afraid to make mistakes.C. people are willing to receive new things.D. people won't be expected to answer all questions.2. What does the example of Einstein’s words show?A. Einstein was passionate about curiosity.B. Einstein’s quotes are very famous.C. Curiosity is of great significance.D. Curiosity is more necessary than talent.3. What does the underlined phrase “quibble over” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Fight against.B. Argue about.C. Work out.D. Agree withBIt is essential that students have a category of school-related activities they can participate in. These activities can range from activities during normal school hours to after-school activities. No matter the time, these activities should be available to every student, and at Victory Pioneers International Schools (V.P.I.S) it is encouraged that every student participate in at least one activity, educational and recreational.One of the primary reasons school activities are important at V.P.I.S. is because it gives students the exercise they might not normally receive. Most popularly, these types of activities include major sports such as football, basketball, baseball, tennis, track and field and soccer but also might include gymnasium games and other games.Activities during V.P.I.S. also make a good impression on colleges if students are planning to pursue more education. Colleges look for students who do not just go to school and go home after school. These activities range from participating in clubs and sports to volunteering after school at a recreation center or having a part-time job. If a college sees you maintained good grades while participating in these activities, it will be impressed.V.P.I.S. activities also allow students to be creative. Gifted-and-talented activities allow gifted students to participate in what they otherwise would never have experienced in the classroom. They are a great way to allow students to be creative. Additionally, participating in clubs such as drama that appeal to students’ interest also allows them to expand their knowledge and be creative.Students also can have their interests expanded by participating in activities. These activities could consist of anything, such as joining the Future Business Leaders, the school’s debate team and the chess team, to name a few. By participating in these activities, a student might realize he is interested in something he never knew he was interested in before.4. What can we learn about activities at V.P.I.S.?A. Not every student has access to them.B. Students are required to take part in them after school.C. They give students exercise that might not be got in other schools.D. Educational activities are more popular with the students.5. What benefits can the students get from the activities?A. They can get extra grades when applying for colleges.B. They will become more gifted and talented .C. They may expand their knowledge in drama.D. They may better know their own interests.6. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?A. The Benefits of V.P.I.S. ActivitiesB. School-related Activities at V.P.I.S.C. Colleges Need Creative StudentsD. Activities Make You Creative7. Where is the passage probably from?A. A scientific magazine.B. A college application guideline.C. A club introduction.D. The website of V.P.I.S.CMy entire life has been influenced by the fact that I stand way above the average height for both men and women. I was born two weeks late. When I finally entered the world I weighed 11 pounds 10 ounces and was 24 inches long. When my mom told my grandmother my measurements, she asked in amazement, "Are you okay?!"I was healthy, but very shy as a child and into my teens. I'm from a small town, and I grew up and graduated with the same 50 people. I started playing basketball in third grade every Saturday, but I didn't have any control over my awkward body. (I didn't even score a point in a game until many years later.) I was 5-foot-10 in fourth grade. I had a small group of friends in elementary school, but sometimes the boys picked on me, calling me a bean pole or the Jolly Green Giant. I still remember my embarrassment when they laughed at me, and how badly I wanted to be invisible.In high school I got more involved in sports, but I spent most days in the art room. By this time everyone at my school was used to my height (by ninth grade I was 6-foot-3), but if I went out of town people would stare at me and comment about my appearance.I was forced into the spotlight wherever I went.With high school came more confidence. I had success in school, the arts and sports. I played basketball, but my true passion was track and field. During my senior year I was the conference champion in high jump and the 400-meter run. The friendships I gained through my involvement in high school boosted my confidence and helped me develop a sense of humor. Now when a stranger told me I was tall I would smile and nod or, if I wasfeeling determined, I would pretend to feel shocked and thank them for telling me. I had no idea!Still, society keeps me aware of my status as something rare. And even though people tell me I'm beautiful and I should be a model, there are times when I would trade in my long legs for a small frame and tiny feet. I often wish people weren't so rude. I'm a minority only in the sense of height. I like to think that those who have insulted me didn't intend to. I do believe that most people are basically good, but they can be insensitive.8. What can be inferred from Para.1?A. The writer's height has something to do with her late birth.B. Grandmother was unwilling to have the writer as her grandchild.C. The writer failed to have a successful life because of her unusual height.D. The writer was heavier and bigger compared with other babies when she was born.9. By saying 'I was forced into the spotlight', the author probably means that she ________.A.was criticized by othersB. caught public attentionC. was threatenedD. felt inferior10. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned as the writer's experiences in high school?A. She quit playing basketball and joined the track and field team.B. She no longer felt upset when facing her height problem.C. She had a passion for some sports events.D. She built up more confidence.11. What does the last sentence imply?A. People enjoy making fun of others.B. People are bad andcannot be trusted.C. People tend to bully those who are weaker.D. People sometimes care little about how others feel.DA Virginia teen is doing his part to make sure frontline health care workers are getting the meals they need to help them take care of themselves and others.Arul Nigam, 17, of Tyson's Corner, Va. , has had to make several adjustments since his school year ended abruptly in mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic(新冠疫情).“We didn'thave any classes for like over a month and then after that there were a lot of technical difficulties. So I started to have a lot more free time,” he tells Yahoo Life. “It was really saddening, but it was also something that really surprised me, that our health careworkers are facing something like that,” Nigam says. “So I wanted to see what I could do to help them because obviously, they're sacrificing so much and giving so much for all of us. ”In late March, the teen started fundraising efforts with the help of friends and family to help these health care workers receive much-needed meals. He also began doing research about what hospitals had the most amount of coronavirus cases, so he could prioritize those places first. He was also arranging for the orders to be fulfilled at local family-owned restaurants impacted by shutdown orders. So far, Nigam has delivered over 1,000 meals to 22 hospitals in 13 states, including New York, Massachusetts and Maryland.Nigam's efforts have not only helped health care workers, but restaurants as well. With quarantine restrictionstaking a toll onthe food industry, places like Best Coast Burrito in Oakland, Calif. , have lost business over the last few weeks. Best Coast's owner,Alvin Shen, tells Yahoo Life that being able to partner with Arul and others in efforts to feed those on the frontline has been a big help.12. What would Nigam probably do according to his words?A. Study at home by himself.B. Spend the more free time playing.C. Donate some money to health care workers.D. Do something helpful for health care workers.13. What is Nigam's priority when delivering food?A. The urgency of meals.B. The severity of the virus.C. The number of doctors.D. The position of hospitals.14. What does the phrase “taking a toll on” in the last paragraph mean?A. Turning a blind eye to.B. Keeping an eye on.C Causing lots of damage to.D. Answering completely for.15. Where can you probably read this text?A. Science fiction.B. Fashion magazine.C. Life magazine.D. Entertainment newspaper.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。

AWe love food and drink.We love to celebrate the good stuff and criticize the bad. This is our take on the top three food cultures and destinations.It’s time to find out once and for all,which cuisine is king as you plan where you’ll travel next:No.3FranceYou can spend an entire two-week vacation exploring combinations of wines and cheeses around the country.YumEscargot---credit the French for turning garden-dwelling pests into a delicacy. Massive respect for making them taste amazing too.Baguette---the first and last thing that you’ll want to eat in France.The first bite is superb;the last will be full of longing.DumbFoie gras---it tastes like10,000ducks roasted in butter then reduced to a velvet pudding.No.2ChinaThe people who greet each other with“Have you eaten yet?”are arguably the most food-obsessed in the world.The Chinese almost cook and sell anything,and they also make it taste great.YumSweet and sour pork---a guilty pleasure that has taken on different forms.Dim sum---a grand tradition from Hong Kong to New York.The best to start a day as breakfast.DumbShark’s fin soup---calling for Chinese restaurants to ban the dish has been a goal of green campaigners in recent years.No.1ItalyItalian food has enslaved taste-buds around the globe for centuries,with its tomato sauces,and those clever things they do with wheat flour and desserts.YumPizza---simple yet satisfying dish.Staple diet of bachelors and college students.Coffee---cappuccino is for breakfast?Forget it.We want it all day and all night.DumbBuffalo mozzarella--those balls of water buffalo milk.The flavor’s so subtle you have to imagine it.1.Which food would you not try as an environmentalist?A.Shark’s fin soupB.Foie grasC.Sweet and sour porkD.Escargot2.Which will be the best choice for hungry students in Italy?A.PizzaB.CoffeeC.Buffalo mozzarellaD.Desserts3.Which will be the best breakfast?A.CappuccinoB.BaguetteC.CheeseD.Dim sumBThat was how the adventures began.It was the sort of house that you never seem to come to the end of,and it was full of unexpected places.The first few doors they triedled only into spare bedrooms,as everyone had expected that they would;but soon they came to a very long room full of pictures;and after that was a room all hung with green, with a harp in one corner;and then a kind of little upstairs hall and a door that led out on to a balcony.And shortly after that they looked into a room that was quite empty except for one big wardrobe,the sort that has a looking-glass in the door.“Nothing there!”Everybody rushed out but Lucy stayed because she thought it would be worthwhile trying the door of the wardrobe,even though she felt almost sure that it would be locked.To her surprise,it opened quite easily,and two mothballs dropped out.Looking into the inside,she saw several coats hanging up---mostly long fur coats. There was nothing Lucy liked so much as the smell and feel of fur.She immediately stepped into the wardrobe and got in among the coats and rubbed her face against them, leaving the door open,of course,because she knew that it is very foolish to shut oneself into any wardrobe...She took a step further in---then two or three steps,always expecting to feel woodwork against the tips of her fingers.But she could not feel it.“This must be a simply vast wardrobe!”thought Lucy,going still further in.Then she noticed that there was something crunching under her feet.“Is that more mothball?”she thought,stooping down to feel it with her hand.But instead of feeling the hard, smooth wood,she felt something soft and powdery and extremely cold.“This is very queer,”she said,and went on a step or two further....And then she saw that there was a light ahead of her;...A moment later she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood at night-time with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air.4.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The discovery of mysterious rooms.B.The complex structures of the house.C.The unexpected search of the house.D.The adventurous exploration in a house.5.Why didn’t Lucy go out of the room?A.She wanted to explore the wardrobe.B.She found her favourite fur coats.C.She was attracted by mothballs.D.She liked the smell of the room.6.What can we infer about Lucy from the third paragraph?A.Careful and cowardly.B.Cautious and curious.C.Foolish but brave.D.Adventurous but casual.7.What does the underlined word“queer”mean?A.Terrifying.B.Empty.C.Strange.D.Impressive.CStories are shared in many ways.They are described in books and magazines.They are read around the campfire at night.They are randomly distributed from stand-alone booths.But what else?To revive literature in the era of fast news and smartphone addiction,Short Edition, a French publisher of short-form literature,has set up more than30story dispensers（分发机）in the USA in the past years to deliver fiction at the push of a button at restaurants, universities and government offices.Francis Ford Coppola,the film director and winemaker,liked the idea so much that he invested in the company and placed a dispenser at his Cafe Zoetrope in San st month,public libraries in some other cities announced they would be setting them up,too.There is one on the campus at Penn State.A few can be found in downtown West Palm Beach,Fla.And Short Edition plans to announce more,including at the Los Angeles International Airport.“Everything old is new again,”said Andrew Nurkin,director of the Free Library of Philadelphia,which is one of the libraries that set up the dispensers.“We want people to be easily exposed to literature.We want to advance literacy among children and inspire their creativity.”Here’s how a dispenser works.It has three buttons on top indicating choices for stories that can be read in one minute,three minutes or five minutes.When a button is pushed,a short story is printed.The stories are free.They are chosen from a computer category of more than100,000original submissions by writers whose works have been evaluated by Short Edition’s judges,and transmitted over a mobile network.Offerings can be tailored to specific interests,like children’s fiction or romance.Short Edition gets stories for its category by holding writing contests.Short Edition set up its first booth in2016and has150machines worldwide.“The idea is to make people happy,”said Kristan Leroy,director of Short Edition.“There istoo much unhappiness today.”8.What do we know about the stories sent by dispensers?A.They are easily read.B.They are short in form.C.They can be bought from booths.D.They can be found in magazines.9.Which paragraph shows the popularity of story dispensers in America?A.Paragraph3.B.Paragraph5.C.Paragraph6.D.Paragraph7.10.Why were the story dispensers set up according to Andrew Nurkin?A.To introduce French literature.B.To get rid of smartphone addiction.C.To make people have access to literature.D.To reduce the financial stress of libraries.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Everything Old Is NewB.Online Reading:a Virtual TourC.Short Edition Is Getting PopularD.Taste of Literature,at the Push of a ButtonDDo you think you’re smarter than your parents and grandparents?According to James Flynn,a professor at a New Zealand university,you are!Over the course of the last century,people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores---on average,three points better for every decade that has passed.This improvement is known as“the Flynn effect”,and scientists want to know what is behind it.IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge.Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences,but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity.So what was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect.Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general.Because we take so many tests,we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test.Others have pointed to better nutrition since it results in babies being born larger,healthier,and with more brain development than in the past.Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles,with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information.This could prepare people to do the kind of problem solving that intelligence tests require.Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers didn’t do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test;they did better on sections that required a special kind of reasoning and problem solving.For example,one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes,and test-takers must look for patterns and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set.According to Flynn,this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases.Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone,you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test.So are you really smarter than your parents?In one very specific way,you may be.12.The Flynn effect is_____.A.not connected to our experiencesB.unknown in some parts of the worldC.an increase in IQ test scores over timeed to measure people’s intelligence13.According to the article,newer educational techniques include_____.A.improving test scoresB.exposure to many testsC.memorizing informationD.children finding things out themselves14.Why does the author mention computer games?A.To encourage the reader to do more exercise instead of playing games.B.To explain why more and more young people have poor vocabularies.C.To give an example of technology improving our visual intelligence.D.To show the fact that young people are not getting more intelligent.15.Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with?A.People today are taking easier tests.B.People today have more visual intelligence.C.People today have fewer problems to solve.D.People today are more intelligent in every way.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能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note—"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about- his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch. Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.11．Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ．A．to satisfy his curiosity B．to please his motherC．to pay for the delivery D．to show his magical power12．What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?A．He wanted to have tea there.B．He was a respectable person.C．He was fully trusted by the family.D．He was treated as a family member.13．Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A．It is forbidden by law.B．Its service is getting poor.C．It has been driven out of the market.D．Nobody wants to be a milkman now.BAs more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations－UNESCO and National Geographic among them－have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recentlypublished book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introductionto the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials－including photographs, films, tap recordings, and field notes- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project －Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.14．Many scholars are making efforts to .A．promote global languagesB．rescue the disappearing languagesC．search for language communitiesD．set up languages research organizations15．What does "that tradition" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Linking with the native speakersB. Telling stories about language usersC. Writing books on language searchingD. Having first records of the languages16．Which of the following best describe Turin's work?A．Write, sell and donate. B．Record, repeat and reward.C．Design, experiment and report. D．Collect, protect and reconnect.CIn 2015, Chennai was destroyed by one of the worst floods in over a century, leaving hundreds without food, water and supplies. During the worst phases of those floods, many heroes arose, one of whom was Santhosh, a young man who owned a take-out restaurant in Chennai.When the first floods hit in November, he got a call from a company called Naga Rava which is in another city. The company asked them to prepare 5,000 packets of food and give them to theflood victims. He, with his partners, took the order, cooked for 14 hours and delivered them. But that night, as they sat together discussing the events of the day, they actually felt ashamed. "Here was a man not even from Chennai and he was going out of his way to help the affected people. We, while living here, had not really done anything ourselves for our own people," said Santhosh later.He then began the groundwork for collecting funds to help cook more dishes. Little did he know that the November floods were just the beginning; the real show was about to begin. The December floods affected them all. His own house got flooded and his family were stranded on the second floor. They lost phone connectivity and electricity. In spite of this, Santhosh went back out into the floods, creating a temporary kitchen and preparing food all by himself for the victims.He did not sleep for four days, taking a break one hour every day as he kept on cooking. As word got out of this man's effort, others stepped out to join him. From children to the elderly, strangers came to assist him in cooking, packing and transporting food. 300 volunteers worked together to make it all happen. By the time the fourth day finally came to an end, Santhosh and his team had prepared an astonishing 170,000 food boxes and delivered them to people in need. 17．What inspired Santhosh to help the affected people?A．A call for help.B．An act of kindness from a stranger.C．The encouragement form his partners.D．The sufferings of his family in the floods.18．What does the underlined word“stranded" in the third paragraph mean?A．Ignored. B．Drowned. C．Trapped. D．Watched. 19．Which of the following best describes Santhosh?A. Selfless.B. Ambitious.C. Humorous.D. Demanding.20．What does the story intend to tell us?A．Many hands make light work.B．One good turn deserves another.C．A friend in need is a friend indeed.D．A small act of kindness makes a big difference.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
