On 1 September, 2020.BIn 2012,Kim Stemple was a special education teacher and a solid performer in her age group in marathons. And then she got sick. After threeyears of tests and treatments, the doctors figured out she has a rare mitochondrial disease thatis causing progressive mental and physical health to go worse. They told her there was no cure and that this disease would take her life.Yet Stemple kept running and competing in marathons. One day she was training forthe Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in Las Vegas when she became too sick to travel. The usually outgoing Stemple sunk into disappointment. But then she received a gift—it was a marathon medal given to her by a friend.Stemple hung the medal near her hospital bed and it was an instant conversation starter with doctors ,nurses and anyone who came to visit. That medal pulled Stemple out of her disappointment. And that gave Stemple the idea to start We Finish Together, an organization devoted to connecting runners who wish to donate medals with those who might appreciate them. Stemple pens a hand written note ofen couragement on each of the medals she gives away. Recipients have included hospital patients, residents of homeless shelters and even doctors and nurseswho care for the very ill. "This gives them a connection to someone,"says Stemple. "If they receive a medal, they know someone cares."Can asimple medal really make a difference? Joan Musarra said yes, who suffered froma serious disease. "I opened my package containing my new medal and the notes of positive, warm thoughts. I was really excited," she wrote toStemple. "It means so much to me to feel that I am not alone."24. What can we infer about Stemple before she got too sick to exercise?A. She was doubtful.B. She was optimistic.C. She was courageous.D. She was down-hearted.25. What inspired Stemple to foundWe Finish Together?A. Her friend ' s gift.B. The medals she won.C. The patients' request.D. The encouragement from doctors.26. How does Stemple' s organization help people in need?A. By having chats.B. By contributing money.C. By giving out recycled medals.D. By connecting their relatives.27. Why did Musarra write the letterto Stemple?A. To ask for another medal.B. To discuss about their illnesses.C. To relieve the symptoms of her illness.D. To show the medal's positive effect on her.CWhale researchers believe they have found a new way to measure the amount of stress felt by whales when they experience serious threats （威胁）,such as being hit by a ship, and they say the technique could help protect the huge sea creatures from dying off.American Rosalind Rolland is the lead scientist on the project. She and her team are with the New England Aquarium in Boston, Massachusetts. They measured stress hormones （荷尔蒙）by studying baleen, a substance found in the upper part of the mouth of some kinds of whale. She explains that the baleen serves as a record that shows a spike in stress hormones when whales face dangers such as a changing climate and ship strikes. Scientists canthen read these records, similar to reading the rings on a tree.Under standing the information is important because whales who often feel stressed are less likely to be reproductive and more likely to become sick. That combination is not good for the whale population, which is already dangerously low.The scientists did their work on a whale that had become trapped in fishing equipment, which some scientists estimate kills up to 300,000 whales and dolphins annually. It was finally killed by Inuit hunters who found it tryingto drag the fishing equipment. The hunters said the whale seemed to lack energy. When scientists examined the dead whale, they found its mouth showed anincrease in stress hormones 20 times greater than normal.Regina Asmutis-Silvia is a biologist with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation in Massachusetts. She didn't participate in the research, but she says it is important. "We clearly understand that stress is bad for humans. We also need to understand that stress is bad for other animals, too," she adds.28. What doesthe text mainly tell us?A. The dangers the whale often faces.B. The measures to stop sea life being hit.C. A way to protect the mouth of the whale.D. A discovery to measure stress on whales.29. Which of the following can best replace"spike" underlined in Paragraph 2?A.Rise.B.Change.C. Crash.D. Slide.30. What maya whale living a stressful life be like?A. Calm and fierce.B. Uneasy and energetic.C. Unhealthy and unable to reproduce.D. Sizeable and likely to lose appetite.31. Why doesthe author mention the words by Regina?A. To move on to another topic.B. To stress the importance of the finding.C. To tell the necessity of studying other animals.D. To show the similarity between humans and animals.DWhile weare creatures of habits, our habits can quickly become dated, leaving us feeling stuck or unsatisfied in certain areas of our lives. This is especiallytrue for individuals who have been working in one position for many years ordoing the same thing day in and day out. Why does this happen?No matterwhich career （职业）path youhave chosen, you are going to experience competition and expect to prove thatyou are one of the best people who have applied for the position. That being said, once you secure a position, it can be easy to take a look around and determine that it would be hard to move up due to the misconception that others are better than you. Actually, you have your own set of skills and strengths that give you a competitive advantage in comparison to others. Under valuing your worthand abilities and not moving on because of this is the right reason why you may feel stuck in your job.If your position or job provides you with enough money to lead a comfortable life, you may be comfortable but comfort doesn't equal contentedness. Your comfort may be the main contributing factor to your feeling of being trapped in your job.Another factor that makes you feel stuck during points in your life is when you find yourself at a plateau where your work no longer keeps you challenged or you are no longer finding the value in what it is that you are doing.Being stuck can leave you feeling helpless, but your life is in your hands. The most important thing you can do right at this moment is to figure out what you need and lack in your career. After you've made a list of your needs, make a plan and break down that list into solid actions that need to be carried out, so that you can move forward with your career goals.Remember: Change only comes with consistency. Becoming unstuck in a situation where you feel trapped is not something that will happen overnight.32. Why might a person think othersare superior to him?A. He is full of curiosity.B. He is envious of others.C. He is lacking in self-confidence.D. He is modest about his achievements.33. On what occasion might a personfeel himself stop moving forward?A. If the job is not challenging.B. After he is given a rise.C. Before he stands out in a group.D. When he has a chance of promotion.34. What does the author mean in thelast paragraph?A. Better late than never.B. There is no best, only better.C. It is not work that kills, but worry.D. Sticking with goals leads to success.35. What's the best title for thetext?A. How You Find a Satisfying JobB. Why You Feel Stuck in Your JobC. How You Reduce Stress at WorkD. Why You Stay in a Job Long Time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。
2020年河北衡水中学高三英语第三次联考试卷及答案
2020年河北衡水中学高三英语第三次联考试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AFour Best Cities to Visit in WinterCold rains, icy sidewalks and gray skies can make winter travel a trial. But here are four cities around the world that make for a great cold-weather destination:Prague,Czech RepublicWith its snow-capped spires and winding streets,Pragueis a fairytale city that remains ly tourist-free in winter.The amazing architecture looks even prettier under a sheet of snow, with one of the most beautiful areas being the old town, with its Romanesque vaults. Gas street lamps have been placed throughout the city center, adding a romantic color1 to evenings. Cafes here are ideal for escaping the bitter cold.Salzburg,AustriaWith its Christmas songs and traditional markets, this is a perfect city for a winter break. “Silent Night” was performed for the first time in thechurchofOberndorfon the border ofSalzburgon Christmas Eve in 1818.The city's main market is held in the shadow ofSalzburg'sHohensalzburgCastle, but the one held inMirabell Squareis especially popular with food lovers who come to taste local food such as halusky—pieces of dumpling mixed with fried bacon.Tromso,NorwayTromso is widely regarded asNorway's most beautiful city and is a base for spoiling the northern lights. There are several attractive museums, including thePolarMuseum, which offers an insight into the history of Arctic expeditions, and theTromsoMuseum, which is famous for its Sami exhibitions.Amsterdam,NetherlandsIn winter,Amsterdam' s museums are much less crowded, making it the time to visit attractions such as Rijksmuseum or the Anne Frank House. Built originally to house a circus, the Royal Carre Theater is more than 130 years old. Children will love the spectacular performances.1. What can you do inPrague?A. Enjoy the fascinating architecture.B. Taste local food halusky.C. Appreciate Sami exhibitions.D. Watch a circus performance.2. Where was “Silent Night” first performed?A. In thechurchofOberndorf.B. InHohensalzburgCastle.C. InMirabell Square.D. In the Polar Museum.3. Which city will you choose if you want to see the northern lights?A. Prague.B. Salzburg.C. Tromso.D.Amsterdam.BIt’s become an accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends, but if schoolchildren were in their parents’ shoes, the majority wouldn’t share posts of their sons and daughters online. Over 55% said they would not upload news about, or images of, their children to their social media feeds, according to survey of over 16,000 pupils by Votes for Schools.While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain online indefinitely, others expressed concern about their personal data beingcompromised. One of the pupils surveyed said, “Although our parents mean well, sometimes theconsequenceof a post can be disastrous.”In response to thesurvey, children’s mental health charity Place2Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya have produced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays – the best period for parental oversharing.In one video, about safety online, 10-year-old Adavan said, “If you share anything with your family, you know who’s going to see it. But if you share it publicly, there are millions of people who can see your picture.”Joe Hancock, a security lead at Mishcon de Reya, encouraged parents to share wisely. “Simple steps, such as checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if they have not updated their privacy settings, are a good start. And, as we found out from the children during filming, having their permission is key,” he said.The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely. Sandra Davis, head of the law firm’s family department, said, “Children are the experts on the real and immediate impact of sharenting（晒娃）– the full extent of which we cannot know yet. We must ensure we listen to children and take their views into consideration now in order to avoid any unintendedconsequences further down the line.”4.What’s most pupils’ attitude towards sharing posts about children?A. Skeptical.B. Unconcerned.C. Tolerant.D. Unwilling.5.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Summarize the previous paragraph.B. Provide some advice for parents.C. Predict the consequence of sharing posts.D. Give reasons for the result of the survey.6.What should parents first pay attention to according to Joe Hancock?A. Safety.B. Consequence.C. Wisdom.D. Health.7.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Parents should take children’s opinions into account.B. Parents should teach children to use the Internet safely.C. Children must make sure to listen to their parents.D. Children should avoid unintended consequences of sharenting.CIf you have ever tried to catch a resting butterfly, you know it is surprisingly difficult. A new study helps explain why.Previous research had suggested that a butterfly's overhead wing clap forces the insect forward. Researchers thought the wing clap likely formed a pocket of air that shoots out like a jet, but no one had tested that until now.To understand their flight, they placed six butterflies one at a time inside a wind tunnel which was filled with smoke and then used a laser to light up the smoke just behind the butterfly. Four high-speed cameras were placed in the tunnel to take photos of the movement of the butterfly and the-smoke as the butterfly was taking off. This let the researchers create a 3D picture of that air movement as the insect flapped its wings.They observed a total of 25 takeoffs by six butterflies. Each included up to three wing beats after takeoff.The butterflies proved more likely to clap their wings together during the first few wing beats than later in flight.The photos show that forces created by the wings give rise to a flight path. The butterflies rise as their wings move down and shoot forward as their wings move up. A wing clap on takeoff, paired with a quick tum, allowed the butterflies to fly away quickly. They also noticed the wings formed an air pocket just before clapping and that the wings' flexibility and this pocket improved the jet force created by the clap.“The study is exciting,” says Ayodeji Bode-Oke, a mechanical engineer in Charlottesville. That means “we have solved the longtime puzzle about how butterflies fly, and it proves nothing is impossible on the road of scientific research. I can't wait to learn about how the study might inform designs for small aerial vehicles.”8. Why was laser used in the experiment?A. To frighten the butterflies into lying.B. To help researchers observe the butterflies.C. To help take clear photos of air movement.D. To guide the butterflies through the smoke.9. What is the finding of the research-according to paragraph 5?A. Butterflies fly forward as wings move down.B. An air pocket forms after butterflies clap wings.C. Butterflies beat wings three times before taking off.D. Upward wing movements help butterflies fly forward.10. According to the writer, the finding of the research can be used for .A. helping catch a resting butterfly more easilyB. helping do research on other butterfly-like insectsC. helping provide inspiration for making small flying vehiclesD. helping widen the applications of small flying vehicle11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Why Can Butterflies Fly Like a Jet?B. How Can Butterflies Make Wing Claps?C. How Can Butterflies Make Quick Tums?D. Why Can Butterflies Run Away Quickly?DAccording to a survey published by the American Institutes for Research last year, a total of 57 colleges were operating some form of CBE programs and about 85 percent of all the higher education officials said they were either designing a CBE program at their school or were considering doing so.Students in a CBE program choose a central field of study, just as they would at a traditional college or university. Yet instead of attending a series of classes led by professors or teaching assistants at schools, the students study online and direct themselves.CBE programs require students to show their understanding of a given set of sills Students must prove their mastery of skills that relate to their field of choice by taking related exams. Once they have met all the requirements of their study programs, the students will get their degrees.CBE programs have made use of many new technologies, especially internet and online media. This helps reduce barriers for nontraditional and other students by bringing higher education to them. And programs that permit students to work at their own speed may save students' money by reducing the time it takes for them toearn a degree.But some educators have concerns about the value of the education that CBE programs offer. Johann Neem atWesternWashingtonUniversityargues that the purpose of higher education is not simply to help students master certain skills. It should teach students how to think critically (批判性地) understand the subjects they are studying more deeply and see how they are connected to other subjects. Only that way can they put the knowledge to better use.He said, “You need to explore, think .. get shaken, have a conversation and struggle. Andthose things take time.”Instead of supporting CBE, he adds, policy makers and educators should look for ways to improve access and reduce costs for traditional higher education.12. How are CBE programs different from traditional college education?A. They require students to choose their subjects.B. They offer shorter curricula and are less expensive.C. They heavily rely on the information technologies.D. They allow students to take easier examinations.13. What can we learn from Johann Neem's words?A Free access to traditional education should be provided.B. Higher education just focuses on critical thinking skills.C. Students should spend longer time completing the degree courses.D. College students should be challenged to explore around their subjects.14. How does Johann Neem's attitude toward CBE programs?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Sympathetic.D. Uncaring.15. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To press policy-makers to provide more affordable education.B. To show the disadvantages of the traditional college education.C. To introduce a new controversial trend in the higher education.D. To encourage educators to improve the quality of CBE programs.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。
2020年河北衡水中学高三英语三模试卷及答案
2020年河北衡水中学高三英语三模试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AA brother and a sister have been reunited (重逢) after more than 60 years, thanks to a letter in the Welwynand Hatfield Times. For years John Hannant kept a photo of his long-lost sister, hoping they would meet again.Margery, the eldest of three children, had signed up with the Royal Air Force as part of the war effort, when John was still a baby.The family lost touch and as many years passed only a single letter gave a clue to her whereabouts (下落). The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize Margery and put the family back in touch.John, 67, said he had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested writing to the paper.“That’s the one that made it, the letter to the paper,” he said. “It’s like a dream that comes true. The last time we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the terrible floods. She wrote home to know if we were all right.My sister Dorothy wrote back, but Margery had moved again and never got the letter.”Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House, Mr Hannant decided to take action.He and his wife Doreen traveled to Margery’s home in Chelwood Avenue, Hatfield, which she shares with her husband Jack Cooke.Now 88, Margery was recovering from her heart operation, but immediately recognized her brother. John said, “It’s something I never thought that was going to happen but I always hoped it would.” AS well as finding his sister, John has also discovered he now has a nephew, a niece and six grandnieces and grandnephews.1.The headline of the news would be “________”.A.An unforgettable and moving experienceB.The Hannant family lost touch because of warC.A brother and a sister reunited after 60 yearsD.The importance of a letter to WHT2.Margery left her family because ________.A.she attended the air schoolB.she joined the Royal Air ForceC.she had to feed her familyD.a big flood hit her hometown3.Who helped the family reunite after many years?A.Margery’s husband Jack CookeB.The photographer of the photo of Margery.C.A neighbour of Mr Hannant.D.A reader of WHT.BPeggy Whitson's job demands a daily twohour workout in a gym where weight has no meaning and the view changes at 17,000 miles an hour.Whitson makes it look easy. At 57, she is the oldest woman to fly in space, breaking the record last November, 2016, when she began her third longterm stay at the International Space Station. After returning home in September, 2017, the NASA astronaut feltmatter-of-factabout the age milestone.“It wasn't a record I was seeking for,” Whitson said. “I was 42 and 48 for my first two space flights. I feel lucky that I was able to get to do another one in my 50s. I don't think people should let age discourage them, even on those jobs that require some amount of physical fitness. The oldest man is John Glenn (at 77), and we've had male astronauts in their 60s before, so it's just a matter of time before women start flying in space at this age”.On the earth, she stays fit by weightlifting, biking, playing basketball and water skiing. She shared what it's like to live in microgravity: “It's like you're in a swimming pool, but you don't have to worry about breathing. If I push off from one side, I'm going to float to the other side. Every direction feels exactly the same, which is really hard for your brain to grasp, but it's amazing how fast you adapt.It's a big shock for the body to come back to Earth—everything is so heavy. We spend a lot of time getting used to being back in gravity again. Back pain was really the most dramatic for me this time. For me, coming home is harder than going up into space.”4. How long did Peggy Whitson spend for her third stay in the International Space Station?A. About 300 days.B. About 708 days.C. About 107 days.D. About57 days.5. What does the underlined word probably mean in the passage?A. Amazing.B. Not surprising.C. Enthusiastic.D. Unbelievable.6. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Peggy Whitson likes swimming most.B. Peggy Whitson is the oldest person to fly in space.C. Peggy Whitson had been in space in 2002 and 2008.D. There had been female astronauts over 60s flying in space before.7. Which of the following will Peggy Whitson probably say?A. You can still be successful and do physical things when old.B. I spent quite a lot of time getting used to the life in space.C. The moment we reached the earth, we felt so relaxed.D. I feel lucky that I am physically well after the whole journey.CI had very good parents. My mother came toAmericafromScotlandby herself when she was 11, and she didn’t have much education. My dad was kind of a street kid, and he eventually went into the insurance business, selling nickel policies door to door.One day, my dad asked his boss, “What's the toughest market to sell?” and the insurance guy replied “Well, black people. They don’t buy insurance.” My dad thought, but they have kids; they have families. Why wouldn’t they buy insurance? So he said, “Give meHarlem.”When my dad died in 1994, I talked about him onThe Tonight Show. I told the story of how he worked in Harlem and how he always taught us to be open-minded and not to say or think things of racism (种族主义). Then one day, I got a letter from a woman who was about 75 years old.She wrote that when she was a little girl, a man used to come to her house to collect policies. She said this man was the only white person who had ever come to dinner at their house. The man was very kind to her, she said, and his name was Angelo—was this my father?The letter made me cry. I called her up and said yes, that was in fact my dad, and she told me how kind he had been to her family. Her whole attitude toward white people was based on that one nice man she met in her childhood, who always treated her with kindness and respect and always gave her a piece of candy. From this experience, I learned a valuable life lesson: never judge people and be open-minded and kind to others.8. What did my father do after knowing what was the toughest market to sell?A. He asked his boss to give him some insurance.B. He went toScotlandto improve his education.C. He specially went to white families with kids.D. He choseHarlemto face the toughest challenge.9.

AMany people like to explore the Internet．Exploring the Internet is one of the most important activities of the day．The Internet brings the outside world closer to people's homes．Some people say the world is smaller than before because of the Internet．What's going on in other countries？How do people live in places far away？Is there a good sports game somewhere？What's life like in the deepest part of the sea？Ifyou want to answer all these questions，just come to the Internet．Of course，people can also learn through reading or listening to the radio．But with the Internet they can learn better and more easily．A lot of information can be collected at a great speed．Can we go shopping without leaving home？Can we see a doctor without going to the hospital？Can we study without going to school？Can we draw money without going to the bank？All these things seemed to be impossible，but now have become true．The Internet helps us to open our eyes． The Internet also helps to open our minds．The Internet often gives us new ideas．In a word，it helps us in many ways．Great changes have taken place in our life since the use of the Internet．1.What's the main idea of the second paragraph？ ______A. We can learn only through reading or listening to the radio．B. We can know everything through the Internet．C. A lot of information can be collected at a great speed through the Internet．D. We can become wise because of the Internet．2.According to the third paragraph，we can do the following on the Internet EXCEPT______ ．A. go shoping without leaving homeB. see a doctor without going to the hospitalC. study without going to schoolD. draw money without banks3.The underlined sentence"The Internet also helps to open our minds．"means ______ ．A. we cannot think without the InternetB. something is wrong with our minds because of the InternetC. our minds can't be opened unless we search the InternetD. we can get some new ideas from the Internet4.The passage mainly tells us ______ ．A. the Internet helps us a lot in many waysB. we don't need banks，schools or hospitalsC. the Internet is everythingD. we cannot live without the Internet．BSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment．Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water．Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes；and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control．Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from reused materials．But the final goal should be"green gyms"．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all，it's free．5.Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of？ ______A. Cycling around a lake．B. Motor racing in the desert．C. Playing basketball in a gymD. Swimming in a sports center．6.What do we know about golf from the passage？ ______A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain．B. It causes water shortages around the world．C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes．D. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green．7.The author uses power walking as an example mainly because ______ ．A. it is an outdoor sportB. it improves our healthC. it uses fewer resourcesD. it is recommended by experts8.The author writes the passage to ______ ．A. show us the function of major sportsB. encourage us to go in for green sportsC. discuss the major influence of popular sportsD. introduce different types of environment-friendly sportsCAlthough most hitchhikers （搭便车的人） are people， passers-by tend to ignore them because they are cautious about giving rides to strangers． But what will they do if they come across a hitchhiking robot？ Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside？That is the answer Canadian professors， David Harris Smith and Frauke Zeller， who study the relationship between humans and technology， are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot．HitchBOT is built with cheap household items． Thanks to a PC tablet， GPS tracker and camera， hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general public，but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks． The smart robot is even able to quote interesting facts about the areas it has passed through．Not surprisingly， many people are doubtful about hitchBOT's ability． Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone． Actually， they are all wrong． The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax， Nova Scotia， to Victoria， British Columbia， a distance of 3，700 miles． It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple． It not only reached its destination on August 21st， but also hadsome amazing adventures along the way． It visited national parks， went fishing，went camping， and even attended a wedding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the bride's speech．In addition to helping it get to its destination， its Canadian fans have gone out to ensure its safety from covering the robot with a plastic cape （披肩） to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil．9.Why is the hitchhiking robot built？ ______A. To find out how people might react to it．B. To help passers-by reach their destinations．C. To see if it will give rides to strangers．D. To entertain drivers on their way．10.The hitchBOT can do all of the following except ______ ．A. talking with the driver．B. dancing with people．C. answering any question raised．D. sending its thoughts and pictures．11.How long did it take the hitchBOT to reach its destination？ ______A. Over one month．B. Nearly a month．C. Two months．D. One week．12.What can we learn about the hitchBOT？ ______A. It was ignored by an elderly couple．B. It didn't meet with any danger along the way．C. It will be put into the market quickly．D. It experienced a long and amazing journey．DThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One Generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. Thesecharacteristics include a hierarchy(等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship canˈt be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps”(王牌) friend.13.What does the underli ned word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Differ.B. Prevent.C. Benefit.D. Change.14.What do we know from the text?A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.D. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.15.How does the author mainly prove his statements?A. By listing data.B. By giving explanations.C. By quoting sayings.D. By making examples.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。

His message for kids: “The only thing that separa tesyou from scientists is determination, hard work and a strong liking for what you want to achieve.” The secret, he believes, is having a dream in the first place, and that starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to build careers.The moment o f inspiration for Irving came at the age of 15 in his parents’ bookstore. One customer, a professional pilot, asked Irving if he’d thought about becoming a pilot. “I told him I didn’t think I was smart enough; but the next day he took me to the cockpit (驾驶舱) of the commercial airplane he flew, and just like that I was hooked.”To follow his dream, Irving turned down a football scholarship to the University of Florida. He washed airplanes to earn money for a flight school and increased his flying skills by practising at home on a $40 flight simulator (模拟) video game.

He took off with no weather radar, no de-icing system, and just $30 in his pocket. “I like to do things people say I can’t do.”After 97 days, 26 stops and dozens of thunderstorms, he touched down to a cheering crowd in Miami. “It was seeing so many young people watching and l istening that pushed me into giving back with my knowledge and experience.” Irving has been doing it ever since. He set up his non-profit-making organization, Experience Aviation (航空), aiming to increase the numbers of youth in aviation and science-related careers. Kids attend programmes dealing with hands-on robotics projects and flight simulator challenges.“We want to create chances for students to accomplish something amazing,” he notes. Perhaps Irving’s most powerful educational tool is the example his own life provides. After landing his record-breaking flight at age 23, he said, “Everyone told me I was too young, that I didn’t have enough experience, strength, or knowledge. They told me it would take forever and I’d never come home. Well ... guess what?”24. According to Irving, what is the most important in achieving success?A. Meeting people who provide unexpected help.B. Getting a chance to study technical knowledge.C. Having something specific that you want to accomplish.D. Developing communication with different organizations.25. What Irving replied to the pilot in the bookstore suggested that ______.A. he felt embarrassed to refuse the offerB. he was doubtful about his own abilitiesC. he knew his efforts would be rewardedD. he realized immediately how lucky he was26. What can we learn about Irving in Paragraph 3?A. He chose to reduce his budget as low as possible.B. He was finally given enough money to keep going.C. He got the most useful flying tips from his video game.D. He took on a further challenge after he knew how to fly.27. Irving set up his non-profit-making organization because ______.A. he hoped to become a public figureB. he expected to start a business in other fieldsC. he saw there was great interest in what he was doingD. he thought he could teach more than flight schools couldCA company in San Francisco, California, has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women’s shoes.Every day, millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles. More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic was te into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part,called the sole (鞋底). This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out o f water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think that is a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.28. How are used plastic bottles usually dealt with?A. They are buried or burned.B. They are used to make shoes.C.

Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?A. The design and color.B. The reasonable price.C. The company’s advertisement.D. The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.31. What is the purpose of the text?A. To advertise a new kind of shoes.B. To describe the process of making shoes.C. To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.D. To stress the importance of environmental protection.DA team of engineers at Harvard Universty in trying to create the first robotic fly. Desgned to do what a fly dos naturally, the tiny is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks. "The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of itscomponents is o ff the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own/’ said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies (相互依赖）on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it d connected to,” said Wood. While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform daia-gathering work at rescue sites，in farmers fields or on the battlefield. "Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around，” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications.“You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animal，but using these robots instead he said. "So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives ua on a day-to-day basis.”32. What is the typical characteristic of the robotic fly?A. It's automatic.B. It's very small.C. It's controllable.D. It's quite powerful.33. We can infer from the passage that the robotic flyer can .A. act as a spy planeB. help do farm workC. fly at a very high speedD. answer many scientific questions34. What is Wood's ider about the robotic fly according to the last paragraph?A. It is highly questionable.B. It has wide practical applications.C. It gives scientists interest in flying machines.D. It points to a new direction in studying biology.35. What can be the best title for the passage?A.Harvand's Study in the Field of Insects.B.
