第四模拟(时间：120分钟满分：120分)选择题部分第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。
A（2021·辽宁大连市·高三期末）Louise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career, since her first publication in 1968. In 1993, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems, The Wild Iris. And on Oct 8 she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901.Gluck was honored “for her unmistakable poetic voice that, with plain beauty, makes individual existence universal”. Often said to be an autobiographical poet, drawing from her life, “she is not to be regarded as a confessional poet (告白派诗人). Gluck seeks the universal,” Nobel Committee Chair Anders Olsson said in a statement.Gluck, 77, the author of 12 poetry collections, has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life, loss, and loneliness. Because of this, readers have often found her poetry to be “dark”. However, there is much more than darkness in her voice, as noted by Olsson. “It is straightforward and a voice full of humor and biting wit,” he said.For example, in her poem Snowdrops, she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death. She leads readers down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end. At the conclusion of the poem, readers are left to feel the “raw wind of the new world” as they watch a new spring. This is often the case in Gluck’s poetry, being able to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time.When her work Faithful Virtuous Night received a National Book Award for Poetry in 2014, a judge for the award went on to say, the collection comes from “a world where darkness blurs (使模糊) ordinarily sharp edges around the oppositions of our lives－loss and renewal, male and female, the living and the dead”.Although she’s already a well-known writer, experienced in exploring pain and healing, Gluck did feel honored to be given the Nobel award. However, when asked what the prize means to her, the poet responded by saying, “It’s too new... I don’t know really what it means.” Her only hope is that she can continue her daily life. 1．What can we know about Louise Gluck?A．Her first book was published in 1993.B．The Wild Iris won her the Nobel Prize in literature.C．She draws from her life experiences in her writing.D．She is seen as a successful confessional poet.2．What does Olsson think of Gluck’s poems?A．They focus on individual existence. B．They are too dark for readers.C．They are mainly about human psychology. D．They are frank and humorous in style.3．Why does the author mention Snowdrops in paragraph 4?A．To introduce the main plots of this poem.B．To describe Gluck’s creativity in choosing themes.C．To show th e features of Gluck’s poetry.D．To explain Gluck’s purpose in writing Snowdrops.4．How does Gluck feel about winning the Nobel Prize in literature?A．She is not qualified for the prize. B．It is not meaningful for her.C．It may influence her daily life. D．T he history of the award isn’t long.B（2021·上海静安区·高三一模）The seven teenagers hurried towards the airport gate. Italy’s national under-16 swimming championship was taking place in Genoa and the boys were going to compete there. 14-year-old Marco Sulis looked around for his teammates. Their coach sat near them. While preparing for take-off, the flight attendant began her routine safety briefing. Most of the passengers idled away the time engaging in chatting and eating. Although air crashes are alien to Marco, he, who perceived how vital the process was, would later remember all her words.During the flight, as earlier instructed, he located the nearest emergency exit and made a mental note of the red handle behind a protective plastic shield. To open the door, one had to remove the plastic and pull the handle.Flanked by mountains to the north, the airport is often battered by strong winds. Flight 1553 was a short one. The sky that day was crystalline blue and visibility was perfect.At two minutes to touchdown, the plane rocked, which was later found to be out of mechanical faults. Soon, it touched down precariously on two wheels. The captain attempted to reduce the airplane’s speed by braking hard but it was no use. Slipping sideways, the plane rushed out into the sea at high speed.Tons of water poured into the cabin. Passengers were shouting and rushing towards the emergency exit door. Marco watched people struggle with the door fruitlessly.“Let me do it!” Marco yell ed, leaping out of his seat.Marco smashed the clear plastic with the palm of his hand. He grabbed the handle and pulled, using all the strength in his body. The emergency exit door finally swung open. However, the emergency door pinned Marco’s leg down. Passengers passed Marco as they rushed out of the plane. Already soaking in water, Marco knew there was no time to waste. He pushed against the door as hard as he could and managed to free his leg. Marco exited from the plane finally and saw his coach and teammates bobbing in the waves. He began swimming towards the concrete pier(码头).The others followed.When they reached the pier, they were safe at last. Even though four people were killed in the accident, many more survived because of Marco. Marco just si mply said, “All I did was to watch safety briefing.”5．Why did Marco remember the safety briefing?A．Because he used to meet with an air accident.B．Because he is excellent at remembering things.C．Because he was not used to eating and chatting on board.D．Because he realized the importance of flight safety measures.6．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Marco was the passenger sitting nearest to the emergency exit.B．The weather condition was good for flying on the day of the accident.C．The plane went wrong above in sky because of the battering of wind.D．The pilot braked and finally managed to slow down the plane.7．Why didn’t Marco leave the plane as soon as the exit door was opened?A．Because he was trying to keep the exit door open for other passengers.B．Because he was looking for the coach and teammates in the plane.C．Because one part of his body was stuck tight.D．Because he was afraid of the sea water outside the plane.8．Many people were finally saved mainly because_________.A．the crash on the runway was not seriousB．Marco managed to open the exit doorC．they knew how to swim in the sea waterD．they received help from staff at concrete pierC（2020·江苏南通市·海安高级中学高三月考）I hope you will join us to develop the project．The idea struck me in early 2017．We were sitting in our class when our head teacher announced．"There'11 be a new boy starting school tomorrow．He comes from the circus so he'll be with us for a while．"Immediately I heard remarks like"Those are dirty people"；"They eat raw meat"；and"Watch out your bags"．The teacher must have heard them and said in a very serious voice，"Jake is our guest．Make sure you treat him well．"It was the first time I had met anyone from a circus．Fortunately he sat in the only spare seat next to me．Of course I didn't want to mind others'business，but I couldn't help looking at him sideways．I noticed Jake was smaller than me and had dirty finger nails．His shirt was clean but had been repaired in many places and his trousers were held up by a wide，leather belt．As he was sniffing loudly，I passed him my handkerchief．Immediately the boys began to whisper"Leave him be!"From my left a slight movement showed that Jake must have heard the remarks too．He seemed to be having great difficulty with his maths work and was struggling to hold his pen correctly．He looked around as if for help．I looked around too．The teacher was busy so I offered to explain the problems to him．As he listened he smiled．His eyes lit up and he returned to the exercises with enthusiasm．He finished them quickly and proudly presented them to the teacher．"Well done，Jake"，she approved．Jake smiled．I thought about how Jake's life would be．I remembered seeing the campsite and thinking how poor the facilities（设施）were．So I decided to help．As it was my turn to suggest a project for our grade．I put forward this idea．Our head teacher accepted it and so we began to prepare our plans to improve the campsite．Hope you will join us．9．Why did the students dislike Jake even before they saw him？______A．A newcomer was not welcome at that time．B．They always judged a person by what he looks like．C．The teacher hadn't introduced Jake to them beforehand．D．They must have heard terrible stories about circus people．10．What's the author's attitude towards Jake？______A．He copied the other boys'behavior．B．He was distant about what Jake's life was like．C．He had sympathy for the people who were in need．D．He couldn't ignore what other people said about Jake．11．With the help of the author，Jake became more ______ ．A．friendly and braveB．confident and proudC．easygoing and helpfulD．optimistic and warm-hearted12．What's the author's main purpose in writing this passage？______A．To call on more people to help Jake．B．To show what is in need for a circus．C．To ask the readers to join in his project．D．To argue circus people should be fairly treated．D（2020·福建厦门市·厦门双十中学高三月考）The Dezeen x Samsung Out of the Box Competition is a global contest that challenges contestants to design innovative objects for the home that can be made by repurposing cardboard packaging.

She had traveled the route so many times. A car out of nowhere crashed into Esposito's minivan, pushing her backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She sat in the minivan, bruised but mostly just stunned by the impact and by the vehicle's airbags.As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for bed. A volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64, never stopped to think. He grabbed a flashlight and, still in his pajamas, ran out the door.The first car he came upon was the one that had hit Esposito. Once DiPinto concluded the driver was OK, he looked around and spotted Esposito's minivan stuck on the railroad tracks. And then he heard a sharp sound: the bells signaling an oning train."I even see the headlights of the train," he told Newsday. DiPinto rushed to Esposito's minivan and banged on the driver's side window. She just looked at him, her eyes unfocused. "I don't know where I am," she said."Honey, you're on the railroad tracks," DiPinto shouted. "We have to get you off right now!" He yanked(猛拉) on the handle, but the door was jammed shut. The train was hurtling toward them.DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the door. "Please, don't let her be trapped," he thought. He pushed aside the deflating airbags, grabbed Esposito's arms, and pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until he could help her out and speed her to safety. Within six seconds, he estimated, the train crashed into the Minivan. "It was like a Hollywood movie,'' DiPinto told reporters the next day.But this one had a twist. "Last night," Esposito told CBS, "the hero arrived in pajamas, not in a fire truck."4. What do we know about Janice Esposito from the first paragraph?A. She fell off the train.B. She was familiar with the route.C. She was hit deliberately.D. She was conscious after the crash.5. Why did DiPinto hurry to rescue Esposito from her minivan?A. She was hurt badly.B.

The story happened in Hollywood.C. The plot was as thrilling as a movie.D. Esposito was a film star in Hollywood.7. What could be the best title for this passage?A. A Thrilling Ride HomeB. A Serious Car AccidentC. Help People in NeedD. The Hero in PajamasCEarth Day was founded in 1970 as a day of education about environmental issues, and Earth Day 2020 occurs on Wednesday, April 22—the holiday's 50th anniversary. The holiday is now a global celebration that's sometimes extended into Earth Week, a full seven days of events focused on green living.By the early 1960s, Americans were being aware of the effects of pollution on the environment. Rachel Carson's 1962 bestseller Silent Spring pointed out the dangerous effects of pesticides(杀虫剂) on the American countryside. Later in the decade, a 1969 fire on Cleveland's Cuyahoga River shed light on the problem of chemical waste disposal. Until that time, protecting the planet's natural resources was not part of the national political plan. Only a small portion of the American population was familiar with environmental issues—let alone practiced recycling.Elected to the U.S. Senate in 1962, Senator(参议员) Gaylord Nelson was determined to convince the federal government that the planet was at risk. In the fall of 1969, Nelson, considered one of the leaders of the modern environmental movements, announced the Earth Day concept at a conference in Seattle and invited the entire nation to get involved. He later recalled: "The response was electric(高度刺激的). Telegrams, letters and telephone inquiries poured in from all across the country. The American people finally had an opportunity to express their concern about what was happening to the land, rivers, lakes and air."Public opinion polls(民意调查) indicated that in May 1971, 25 percent of the U.S public declared protecting the environment to be an important goal, a 2,500 percent increase over 1969.Earth Day kicked off the environmental decade with a bang, as Senator Nelson later put it. During the 1970s, a number of important environmental laws were passed, such as the Clean Air Act, the Water Quality Improvement Act and the Endangered Species Act. Another key development was the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) in December 1970, which was tasked with protecting human health and safeguarding the natural environment —air, water and land.8.What do we learn about the circumstances in America before Earth Day was founded?A.The overuse of pesticides had little impact on the American countryside.B.The fire on Cuyahoga River was caused by improper chemical waste disposal.C.The government highly valued the protectionof the natural resources.D.Only a few Americans were familiar with environmental issues and practiced recycling.9.What can be inferred from the third paragraph?A.Nelson convinced the federal government that the planet was at risk.B.Nelson organized the modem environmental movements all by himself.C.The Earth Day successfully aroused the public's interest in environmental issues.D.The electric power supply had been cut off because numerous telephone inquiries poured in.10.Why was the Environmental Protection Agency set up?A.To collect public opinions.B.To kick off the environmental decade.C.To change public attitudes.D.To protect human beings and nature.11.What do you think the author will discuss later?A.Earth Day celebrations have grown and spread around the globe.B.EPA protects human health and our natural environment.C.The environmental laws e into effect.D.Senator Nelson's achievements are remarkable.DToday we know Antarctica as an extreme environment containing ice and snow. But new research provides evidence that the area had a rainforest in the past.The researchers collected a piece of Earth sediment(沉淀物) from under the seafloor off the coast of Antarctica. In the sediment, they discovered forest material that was estimated to be about 90 million years old. This would have been in the Cretaceous Period, when dinosaurs were the main land animals. The sediment was removed by scientists on the research icebreaker RV Polarstern in the Amundsen Sea near Pine Island Glacier.Johann Klages is a geologist with the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research in Germany. He was the lead writer of a study on the findings, published in thejournal Nature. He said the sediment was collected from a depth of about 30 meters below the ocean floor. Klages said an examination showed that the material didn't form in the ocean.The researchers estimate that the area—about 900 kilometers from the South Pole—had average yearly temperatures of about 12 to 13 degrees Celsius. During the warmest summer months, average temperatures likely reached between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. The soil included fine dirt particles(颗粒) and hard clay, as well as substances linked to at least 65 different kinds of plants, the study found. Klages added that the plants included trees, ferns and flowering plants. While no animal remains were found, Klages said there were likely dinosaurs, flying reptiles(爬行动物) and many insects in the environment.The research represents new evidence of the major climate changes Earth has experienced in the past —and is currently undergoing today. The soil in the sediment dates back to the planet's warmest period of the past 140 million years, with sea level about 170 meters higher than today. The researchers said that the rainforest environment in Antarctica was especially surprising because each year, the area experiences a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life. Klages said no ice sheets were present during the time, but seasonal snowfall was likely.12. How did the researchers e to their findings?A. By collecting data on climate.B. By researching special plants.C. By exploring ice in Antarctica.D. By analyzing the Earth sediment.13. What did the researchers say about the sediment?A. Its material developed in the ocean.B. Its material formed on the land.C. It dates back to cold times in Antarctica.D. It contained different animal remains.14. What does the author indicate in the last paragraph?A. There were ice sheets 140 million years ago.B. Seasonal snowfall made the forest disappear.C. Antarctica's natural environment haschanged greatly.D. Polar nights in Antarctica are getting shorter than before.15. What is the main idea of the text?A. Antarctica is getting warmer like before.B. Various wildlife once existed in Antarctica.C. Antarctica had a different history of climate.D. Researchers study the secrets of Antarctica.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I should have paid a man to do it, but foolishly confident in my driving ability, I decided to hire a lorry and drive it myself.Moving the lorry backward in my yard, I crashed into a small shed, causing permanent damage. Fortunately, I owned the shed. I loaded up with the furniture and set out. By now it was rush hour. My nerves broke down, as I drove the huge lorry through the streets nervously.At last I arrived at Charlotte Street and found an available parking space. I moved the lorry into it only to notice three people at a pavement cafe waving to me. I got out, trembling violently, like one who had justfinished a stormy Atlantic crossing. “You’ve hit the car parked behind you,” they said. I examined the car. There were white scratches on its front face. It bore a disabled sign. So, now I was a bad driver and a bad man. Under the severe look of the three, I left an apologetic note on the da maged car’s windscreen, giving my phone number.I unloaded the furniture, dripping the sweat, wanting only to escape from the monster. I drove it back to its base at Edgware. On arrival, the boss told me I must fill it up with petrol before returning it. “Just charge me,”I cried, still shaking with fear. He stared at me with understanding. No doubt he’d witnessed others in this state before. “How about I drive you to a petrol station, you fill up, and I drive it back?” he asked.He danced the great lorry through the traffic so carefully that it would have shamed me if I had not been so grateful.24．The man felt ______ to have delivered the furniture himself.A．grateful B．regretfulC．proud D．confident25．The man trembled violently because ______.A．he caused a terrible traffic accident B．driving the lorry was too difficult for himC．he was afraid to see the three people D．the furniture was too heavy for him26．The man said he was a bad man most probably because ______.A．he made the traffic accident on purposeB．he parked the big lorry on the pavementC．he shouldn’t have driven the lorry himselfD．he shouldn’t have caused trouble for the disabled27．The writer intended to suggest that ______.A．it was exciting to drive a lorry B．it was hard to avoid accidentsC．being too confident is foolish D．the boss was expert in drivingCDifferent contexts affect food production, processing, trade, marketing and consumption. As a result of this, the food availability, accessibility, and affordability— as well as cons umers’ dietary behaviour and nutritional status—vary. One possible picture is presented here to provide an idea on how COVID-19 might impact the global food system.Consumer demand plays a crucial role in food production and their demands depend on purchasing power and preference. Because of the lockdown, there is no work for many people. As a result, they do not have enough money to buy adequate food for their families. The closure of restaurants, school meals and tourism businesses may reduce the demand for fresh food. People buy frozen. dried and canned food with longer shelf life. Energy-dense, less nutritious foods are often more affordable than fresh and nutritious one.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 is not likely to be transmitted through food. However, workers can get infected by each other if they do not maintain social distance properly. Shortage of labor can not only hamper food production, but also the processing of food.Around the world, millions of people depend on international trade either for then- livelihood or food security. The virus outbreak might slow down global trade and marketing of food. As a result, countries depending on imported food can face difficulties. The closure of ports and other supply restrictions will hamper food supply. The price of transferring food within and outside of the country may get more expensive. It means import may get more expensive and export may bring less money. On the other hand, the restriction in transport and supply can be the cause of food loss particularly for fresh fruits and vegetables. Companies may face difficulties to import the ingredients for different products which may disturb the production.28．The passage is mainly about ________.A．why the food system is easily affected by COVID-19B．how the world may be affected by COVID-19 outbreakC．what effect COVID-19 may have on the food systemD．what contexts affect food production29．How is consumers’ dietary behavior changing now?A．They are eating more fresh food. B．Energy-dense food is not popular with them.C．They buy more less nutritious food. D．A balanced diet provides adequate nutrition for them.30．Paragraph 3 is related to food ________.A．gathering B．trade C．market D．processing31．Which of the following leads to the shortage of fresh food?A．Growing concern for food security. B．Inadequate ingredients.C．Increased processed food. D．Limited transport and supply.DIt was the first family ski weekend in Colorado. I was tired and considered quitting it. But I figured I should push through—if I skipped out, then the kids would think that they could too. After dropping the kids at ski school, my husband and I charted our course on the mountain map. Then, I pushed off and three minutes later, my right ski inverted (倒转的) and took my leg with it... I still remember hearing the crack.I was taken down the mountain in an ambulance. After surgery I woke up with my leg bandaged beyond recognition, my mouth dry and my mind confused. I wouldn’t walk for three months, optimistically. I couldn’t drive. I couldn’t navigate the steps in our house. I couldn’t even shower on my own. I turned to Adam and asked, “How are we going to manage?” “We’ll figure it out,” Adam said. I nodded, because what was the alternative? But nowhere in any of my cells did I believe him. Not even a tiny bit.But something unexpected happened: my children learned to be both autonomous and empathetic. They ran up the steps each day after school to check on me. Without the luxury of my packing their lunches orensuring that their homework was filed, they learned to do it themselves.And my husband too! The man previously had to be told what to do and when to do it, and sometimes why too. When I went down on the mountain, he attended to my every need, as he said to me once, “After all the years that you did so much, it was my turn to show up.”Sometimes—many times—both in life and in marriage, you hope for the sunset overlooking the ocean off a deserted beach, but what you get is a drive to physical therapy. That’s OK. When I went down on that mountain, I worried that my injury would upend everything. It turns out that it did.32．What can be inferred about the mother before the accident?A．She enjoyed herself in the ski. B．She was desperate for a change.C．She was the only breadwinner of the family.D．She committed herself to taking care of the family.33．How did the mother initially feel after the surgery?A．Worried. B．Regretful. C．Relieved. D．Respected.34．From the underlined sentence, we know “________”.A．Misfortune might be a blessing in disguiseB．God helps those who help themselvesC．He who makes no mistakes makes nothingD．The one who wants to wear a crown must bear the weight35．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Unforgettable skiing B．When mum broke her legC．A father turning over a new leaf D．How to survive a skiing accident第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5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。
2021届江苏省新海实验中学高三英语第四次联考试题及答案解析
2021届江苏省新海实验中学高三英语第四次联考试题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AWe are proud to present a showcase for kid inventions from children chosen from the Kid's Forum at Blue Print Earth. We hope you enjoy the ideas expressed here and join us in supporting the next generation.Eater of Natural DisastersMy invention cansave your home by sucking up all-natural disasters. The government will not own this machine, but by you so there will be no taxes on it. Order Now! The Eater of Natural Disasters will run on renewable batteries. It will cost 50 dollars to make and I will sell it for just $ 75.Created by Matthew Szekeresh —Mt.WashingtonElementary, 5th Grade.Pick-up-Pollution BombMy invention is called the Pick-up-Pollution Bomb. It will just pick up pollution and it won't hurt anything else like people, animals, property, playgrounds, and parks. The reason why I made it is that I think there is too much pollution on the Earth. It sells for $100 apiece, and if you buy this now, I will send you another one for free.Created gratefully by Lauren Newberry — Mt. Washington Elementary, 5th GradeFlying HouseMy invention is a home that will blast off in space. For example, if there were an earthquake people would immediately blast off, or if there were a flood it would take off. Only for $ 400.99.Created by David Turner —Mt.WashingtonElementary, 5th GradeBug RobotMy invention is a robot that catches little bugs, eats little bugs, sucks up pollution, sucks up natural disasters, and turns them into food solving the problems of too many little bugs, natural disasters, pollution and starvation. My product is worth $500. My invention works on 2 triple — A batteries. And if you order one today I'll throw in 4 rechargeable triple-A batteries.Created by Cassie Courtey —Mt.WashingtonElementary, 5th Grade1. Why is the Flying House created?A. To explore the space.B. To clean the air.C. To prepare people for earthquakes.D. To help people escape from natural disasters.2. Which invention can turn pollution into food?A. The Bug Robot.B. The Pick-up-Pollution Bomb.C. The Flying House.D. The Eater of Natural Disasters.3. What can we infer about the four inventions?A. They are very easy to build.B. They are ideas from kids in the same school.C. They are expensive but of practical use.D. They are being used by people.BWe asked four people who watched an online talk on technology and communication by Sherry Turkle for their opinions.Fred:The talk certainly gave me plenty of food for thought about how technology is changing our behaviour. People are constantly multitasking, whether it be emailing during meetings or texting in the checkout queue. It’s as if we can’t bear to miss out on what our online friends are up to, so we juggle the real and online world. My greatest concern is that we don’t give our brains a chance to switch off. It’sthese precious momentswhen we actually process information that helps us make important decisions.Jeremy:It was a fascinating talk and the speaker really hit the nail on the head with a couple of things. Take parental influence, for instance. How can we expect teenagers not to text while doing their homework when they witness their parents posting on social media while cooking the evening meal or waiting at a red light?Kath:So much of what the speaker said rang true. I honestly believe there’s a danger that the more connected we are, the more isolated we feel. I don’t think this is such an issue for my generation who’ve lived without technology for so long. We know how to be alone. But the under 20s are another kettle of fish. They’re so busy communicating that they never experience the feeling of solitude and run the risk of not learning how to enjoy their own company.Carl:I’m not sure to what extent I agree that people are more alone, but the way we communicate has certainly evolved. The speaker makes a good point about how we’re getting used to talking with machines like Siri or robots, which are totally lack of experience of human life. But despite such limitations, we seem to be expecting more from technology and less from each other.4. What does the underlined phrase “these precious moments” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. When our brains are free.B. When we emailing during meeting.C. When we texting in the checkout queue.D. When we juggle the real and online world.5. What suggestion may Jeremy give to the parents?A. Accompany their children when they are doing homework.B. Prevent their children using phone while doing homework.C. Set a good example for their children on using phone properly.D. Stop posting on social media in face of their children.6. What does Kath worry about the under 20s generation?A. They communicate more with others.B. They use more technology.C. It’s difficult for them to find companies.D. They don’t know how to be alone.7. What is Carl’s attitude towards the use of technology in communication?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Indifferent.CJon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a businessman for a life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.Pedley admits that he has notalways led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting, ” says Pedley.But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car — and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and education facilities for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes theteens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.8. Which of the following best describes Pedley’s life in the past?A. Negative.B. Colorful.C. Independent.D. Selfish.9. What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village?A. Do business with the local people.B. Help farmers increase potato output.C. Assist villagers with construction work.D. Introduce tools to improve English teaching.10. Why will Pedley work with English teenagers in trouble?A. To encourage them to make friends with locals.B. To inspire them to live a more positive life.C. To train them to become doctors in the future.D. To make them learn about different cultures.11. What is the best title for the text?A. From millionaire to mud hutB. A life-changing adventureC. A rich man becoming homelessD. More money, more worriesDTexas has been one of the most restrictive gun-rights states in America.Thanks to a new law,however,the state will be one of the most relaxed,to the degree that police are discouraged from even asking about someone's guns. And if they do, they may not have much power to do anything if the person refuses to show a license.To be sure, the law is strict in its own way,offering a model for regulation. Under the law, open-carry citizens have to be licensed, a process that includes safety and shooting tests. They also have to show no prior psychological problems, and they have to be at least 21 years old.It is true that gun violence dropped sharply after restrictive laws were put in place in countries like Great Britain and Australia. However,the US public seems more interested than ever in weapons and the power they convey,despite gun control groups' concern over the increase of violence. Most states in America have steadily expanded gun rights since the end of a 10-year assault(攻击)weapons ban in 2004. Black Friday this year saw the biggest gun cache(贮存)ever purchased in one day.Considering those trends,there's a heated debate about whether the new Texas law is a model piece of legislation(立法)for a changing America,or a walking disaster just begging for trouble. As the law doesn't provide any punishment for those who refuse to show a license to a police officer, critics fear that officers may find it tough to handle potentially deadly situations. After all, armed citizens will no longer be considered suspicious, even though a lot of people might be alarmed by the sight. Most police in Texas have been told to not engage guncarriers unless they are doing something questionable or appear drunk.For sure,New Year's Day will be an exciting one for Texas gun owners. What's not yet known is how the rest of Texas will respond.12. All of the following are required in the new Texas law for open carry EXCEPTA. age limitB. mental conditionC. online registrationD. gun-operating skills13. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The reason for putting forward the new Texas law.B. The present situation of gun possession in America.C. The impact of the assault weapons ban in 2004.D. The inaction of the US government as to gun control.14. What do critics think the new Texas law will probably lead to?A. Heavier workload for policemen.B. Disrespect for officers.C. Lack of trust among citizens.D. Difficulty in crime prevention.15. What is the author's attitude towards the new Texas law?A. Negative.B. Cautious.C. Indifferent.D. Approving.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。
