She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children's book series. She knew as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science. Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers.Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana. She would eventually earn a bac helor’s degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967; after graduation Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967. Eventually, she would take jobs working for Newsweek, Seesaw book club.Cole’s passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time. In 197l she decided to write her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches. So she thought she would be the first.Cole struck gold when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985. The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.Cole continued to write both non-fiction and fiction books for children. She writes in away that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read. This creates an engaging experience for children, so it is no wonder why younger readers are hooked on her books.4．When Joanna Cole was young, she ________.A．was very popular with childrenB．got inspired by one of her teachersC．began her career of writing novelsD．knew what she would do in the future5．What does the underlined phrase probably mean?A．Made a fortune. B．Made a promise.C．Got ideas. D．Obtained help.6．What do we know about Joanna Cole?A．She is the most famous woman writer in America.B．She writes novels not only for kids but for adults.C．She is an expert at getting science across to readers.D．She has made great contributions to science.7．What kind of person is Cole in the passage?A．Positive and brave. B．Popular and reliable.C．Serious and honest. D．Talented and creative.Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can — then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Then, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired. 8．People with start-up fatigue are most likely to ________.A．delay tasks B．work hardC．seek help D．accept failure9．What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A．Writing essays in strict order. B．Building up physical strength. C．Leaving out the toughest ideas. D．Dealing with the hardest task first. 10．On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue? A．Before starting a difficult task. B．When all the solutions fail.C．If the job is rather boring. D．After finding a way out. 11．According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________.A．ignore mental problems B．get some nice sleepC．gain complete relief D．find the right solutionThe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for threehours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a litt le man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him.Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe and its magic power meant nothing.Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps. Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”Joy felt Mr. Dow, s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.12．What kind of a life did Joy and his mother live?A．A poor life. B．A new life.C．A happy life. D．A modem life.13．Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?A．He felt sorry for his mother.B．He couldn’t help the family.C．He had run away from school.D．He disappointed his mother’s expectations.14．What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?A．It’s broad.B．It’s warm.C．It’s false.D．It’s secret.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．An Interesting Pipe B．A Powerful Smile C．Unconditional Love D．Magic Trust二、七选五With the cold weather season rapidly approaching, caring for dry skin may become more challenging. Here are some tips on how to protect your skin and keep it healthy throughout the colder months of the year.16．Avoid harsh cleansers containing sulfates or alcohol, and choose a gentle cleanser. Harsh cleansers may disrupt the PH balance of your skin and cause dryness.Switch to a face oil17．In order to avoid dryness, rub about 3 to 5 drops of oil the palm of your hands and then gently pat it into the skin. Face oils offer the benefit of conditioning the skin and protecting it from the cold air.Exfoliate(去死皮)Exfoliating is very important because it helps to get rid of dead skin cells and encourages skin cell renewal.18．However, especially when the skin is feeling extra dry, it is important to use a gentle product and not to overdo it.19．If you don’t feel thirsty and strugg le with taking in enough liquids, try to drink tea, sweetened with a little raw honey. Dehydrated skin cells have a slower turnover rate, which results in dull skin and more visible fine lines.20．The most advantage is that you will spend the cold season with comfort and confidence.A．Drink plenty of waterB．Eat homemade soupsC．Use mild facial cleansersD．Follow the above tips, you may own nice skin and look betterE.Here are three of the most common example of skin discomfortF.After cleansing your face, your skin still takes the risk of dryness.G.Moreover, dead skin cells won’t allow your face oil to enter the skin deeply.三、完形填空I’ve been obsessed (困扰) with languages for as long as I can remember. My dad could talk to everyone with ease, confidently 21 between languages. His abilities made a big impression on me, but he didn’t 22 me to follow his lead.I wasn’t a(n)23 language learner. I made slow progress with French at school and almost gave it up. But things felt different when I 24 German at university — loving many German writers in translation, I wanted to read them in their 25 tongue, and that’s been my main 26 for learning new ones since. Once I got German, I was27 ; French, Latin, Greek and Sanskrit quickly followed. The idea of having a 28 overview of the world has always fascinated me, and 29 languages seemed a good way of achieving that. By my 20s, I’d set my heart on 30 the rest of my life to learning as many as I could.I’m ofte n asked what the 31 is, and whether some people have a gift for absorbing words and phrases. The truth is that it’s down to endless hours of 32 — reading, studying and practicing grammar. 33 , all these wonderful languages start to swim into focus, and increasing numbers of great works become 34 .It’s hard, but the 35 can be thrilling. When I started studying Spanish, there was a moment when the living language suddenly 36 itself to me. Something 37 happened when I heard Swedish spoken around me. It seemed to 38 elements of languages I was familiar with. The more of them I know, the more I see how inter-related they are. All it took was three weeks and I was able to 39 effectively in complex conversations.Now, I can read about three dozen languages and speak most of them fluently. I think I’m much richer for that — it makes me more 40 .21．A．distinguishing B．switching C．comparing D．dividing 22．A．threaten B．encourage C．promise D．trust 23．A．sensitive B．average C．individual D．natural 24．A．took on B．put down C．made up D．went over 25．A．simple B．sharp C．native D．polite 26．A．advantage B．appreciation C．foundation D．motivation 27．A．shocked B．relieved C．depressed D．hooked28．A．comprehensive B．historical C．scientific D．skeptical 29．A．speaking B．selecting C．imitating D．acquiring 30．A．adjusting B．devoting C．reducing D．attaching 31．A．secret B．purpose C．benefit D．puzzle 32．A．expectation B．admiration C．concentration D．evaluation 33．A．Gradually B．Suddenly C．Regularly D．Usually 34．A．affordable B．accessible C．invisible D．assessable 35．A．circle B．beginning C．options D．rewards 36．A．revealed B．explained C．limited D．recommended 37．A．reasonable B．significant C．similar D．funny 38．A．substitute B．combine C．promote D．transform 39．A．compromise B．compete C．communicate D．compensate 40．A．arbitrary B．objective C．considerate D．confident四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

ASeptember is the month for fashion,with four international cities hosting the fashion week.All eyes will turn to New York,London,Milan and Paris this month to see which city puts on the best show.New YorkNew York Fashion Week,or NYFW,kicks off on September5th and runs for approximately eight days.NYFW is considered the most commercial and casual of the four.It is also the only event to allow some fashion school students to participate, bringing a fresh look to the runway.LondonLondon Fashion Week(LFW)comes on the heels of NYFW,starting on September13th, and running through September17th.Once considered a minor player among the Big Four, LFW can now command a list of big names as well as promising new designers.London fashion houses have a reputation for being very experimental and open to new ideas.MilanFashion Week moves to Milan on September17th.This beautiful Italian city ishome to some of the biggest fashion houses and designers in the fashion world, including Armani and an's fashion houses are known for offering glamorous (有魅力的),yet practical,options.ParisThe month of fashion makes its way to France as Paris Fashion Week begins on September23rd.Saving the best for last,Paris never fails to offer some of the most exciting shows of the season.World-famous labels like Chanel and Dior try to outdo one another with their latest designs.The word that best describes Paris Fashion Week is"elegant".21.Which city is likely to attract the new designers?A.London.B.New York.C.Paris.an.22.When does Paris Fashion Week probably end?A.September21sl.B.September20th.C.September29th.D.September23rd.23.What can we learn from the four fashion weeks?A.Each offers practical option.B.Each shows its biggest brand.C.Each is open to schools students.D.Each has its own characteristics.BWildfires were rapidly spreading through northern and southern California as powerful winds swept through the state,burning homes and forcing more than200,000 people to leave their homes.Thousands of structures were destroyed in the massive fires.Firefighters and volunteers worked around the clock,risking their lives to save others,although thick clouds of wildfire smoke hung in the air.But it's not just humans in danger's path.A video of a horse running away from the rescue team to find his family of horses from CBS Los Angeles went viral.The public was touched by the horse's heroic act and shared their thoughts on the Internet.Volunteers were rescuing several horses from the wildfire when one of the horses jumped away from the group.They were trying to help the horse,but he refused.They probably had no idea what was wrong with the horse,who just started running away from them.The horse raced back into danger to lead his family to safety,despite rescuers'best efforts to stop him.He knew he couldn't leave them behind.As thetension increased,several human strangers jumped in to help the animals-they went back to the burning bam where some of the horses remained.You can watch the horse run back into the smoke-filled area,reconnect with the horses inside the fence,and quickly accompany them out of the fenced-off area.Though it's not clear from the video,CBS Los Angeles reported that all but one of the horses involved were saved.Disastrous as the California wildfires have been,the video and countless other rescue stories-humans and animals alike-are shining light on all acts of goodness taking place.24.What does the author intend to show by telling the wildfires in detail in Para. I?A.What caused the big wildfires.B.How serious the wildfires were.C.What rescuers did in the wildfires.D.How rapidly the wildfires spread.25.What does the underlined phrases"went viral"mean?A.Turned bad.B.Got attacked.C.Became interesting.D.Grew popular.26.Which words can best describe the horse?A.Loyal but stubborn.B.Caring and courageous.C.Responsible and clever.D.Flexible but aggressive.27.What message does the author want to convey?A.Fighting disasters needs joint effortsB.Animals are always friends of man.C.All good deeds deserve to be praised.D.Animals show goodness to each other.CJellyfish(水母)are unusual creatures.They're neither fish nor jelly.Some are among the most colourful creatures in the world,but it's best to look but not touch these invertebrates(无脊椎动物).Not only are they very fragile creatures,but many give a painful sting(刺痛),and some are even deadly.Whether you admire them in an aquarium or try to avoid them in the wild,you won't be able to get these fascinating jellyfish facts out of your head.Here's a jellyfish fact that might come in handy:There are several names for a group of jellyfish.They include smack,bloom,and swarm.Choose the word you prefer depending on whether you think the jellyfish pack looks like a garden of bloomingflowers or more like a frightening pack of stingers,and whether you're admiring them at an aquarium or if you and your fellow divers are surrounded.Jellyfish have two main forms in their life cycle that look quite different from each other.Scientific American explains than an adult jellyfish,called a medusa, has a bell-shaped body with tentacles(触须)flowing down below it.Young jellyfish, called polyps,look more like sea anemones,with shorter tentacles that flow up above the main body.Medusas reproduce by releasing eggs.Melanic Roberts,Senior Aquarist at Sea World Orlando,says that the largest jellyfish in the world is a lion's mane jellyfish.The body of this beautiful orange jelly can grow up to three feet in diameter.With its12,000tentacles that can grow 120Feet long, adds that the lion's mane jelly compares in size to the planet's largest animal:the blue whale.Regardless of their size,jellyfish are mostly made of water.In fact,they're about95per cent water.These creatures don't have brains,blood,or bones.And most jellyfish don't have eyes.Jellyfish also use their mouths both for eating and for waste removal.28.Why can't we touch jellyfish?A.Because they may be stung.B.Because they may die easily.C.Because they may feel painful.D.Because they may hurt people.29.What are jellyfish named after?A.Their size.B.Their color.C.Their appearance.D.Their lifestyle.30.What can we learn from the passage?A.Mouth is an important organ for jellyfish.B.Polyps can clone themselves by laying eggs.C.The largest jellyfish in the world is120feet long.D.Medusas have tentacles flowing up above the body.31.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The two main forms of jellyfish.B.Several facts about jellyfish.C.Jellyfish are neither fish nor jelly.D.Jellyfish have many different names.DFancy your own satellite?Arizona State University is working towards making this a reality with its SunCube FemtoSat project.Smaller than a standard CubeSat,the low-cost student-designed spacecraft is aimed at providing greater access to space for scientists and hobbyists alike.Assistant professor Jekan Thanga and a team of students have been developing the SunCube FemtoSat for the past two years.The small3×3×3cm cube weighs in at just 35g and a longer(3×3×9cm,100g)model has also been designed,which includes storage space.Each SunCube FemtoSat has its own communication,data collection and propulsion(推进)systems and is powered by solar panels.It is made of off-the-shelf parts that are available in shops,and the energy-efficient solar panels are cut from scrap(碎片),which makes it save energy,sold at a discount by manufacturers(制造商)."With a spacecraft of this size,any university can do it,"says Thanga."That's part of our major goal-space discovery for everybody."The team says that while launching your own satellite would usually cost between US$60,000-70,000per kilo,it would only cost$1,000to send a SunCube FemtoSat to the International Space Station,and$3,000to send it into low earth orbit.Leaving the earth's gravity would cost an estimated$27,000.The FemtoSat would be packed with a"jack in the box"style system that matches standard CubeSat sizes(around10cubic cm),simplifying the process of getting the tiny satellite into orbit.NASA has sent30CubeSats into space over the last few years,with another50awaiting launch.Thanga and his staff view the FemtoSat as a starting point for scientists and students,and even hope the device could be bought on the website like Amazon one day.Thanga imagines developing four main applications for the device,including hands-on testing experiences for students,and artificial gravity experiments.In addition,groups of SunCube FemtoSats are eventually able to do the job of larger spacecraft at a vastly discounted cost.32.The major goal of the SunCube FemtoSat project is.A.to act on teaching in outer spaceB.to provide access to spacecraft designC.to help carry out a classroom experimentD.to help average individuals explore space33.What is special about SunCube FemtoSats?A.They are energy-efficient.B.They are of the same size.C.They are mainly designed for lab use.D.They are mainly used to collect information.34.What does Thanga expect of SunCube FemtoSats?A.They'll be available online.B.They'll be provided for free.C.They'll match the size of CubeSats.D.They'll be sent into space with CubeSats.35.What can be the best title for the text?A.FemtoSats Will Rule SpaceB.Your Own Satellite Is-ComingC.Going into Space Has Been AffordableD.You Can Design Your Own Spacecraf 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。

With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.But he’s nervous. “I’m here to tell you today why you should... should...” Chris trips on the “-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “... V ote for... me...” Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls（回想起）how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know, but I wan to know.’”Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast（夸耀）about themselves.“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”4.What made Chris nervous?A. Telling a story.B. Making a speech.C. Taking a test.D. Answering a question.5.What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Improper pauses.B. Bad manners.C. Spelling mistakes.D. Silly jokes.6.We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is toA. help students see their own strengthsB. assess students’ public speaking skillsC. prepare students for their future jobsD. inspire students’ love for politics7.Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?A. Humorous.B. AmbitiousC. Caring.D. Demanding.CSome parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills.Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition（认知）after controlling for differences in parents’ income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.The researchers analyzed video recording of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate（旋转）and translate s hapes,” Levine said in a statement.The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than the parents of girls.The findings were published in the journal Development Science.8.In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?A. Building confidence.B. Developing spatial skillsC. Learning self-control. D．Gaining high-tech knowledge.9.What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment?A. Parents’ age.B. Children’s imagination .C. Parents’ education.D. Child-parent relationship.10.How do boys differ from girls in puzzle play?A. They play with puzzles more often.B. They tend to talk less during the game.C. They prefer to use more spatial language.D. They are likely to play with tougher puzzles.11.What is the text mainly about?A. A mathematical method.B. A scientific studyC. A woman psychologist.D. A teaching program.DGood Morning Britain's Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role-—showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.In SawveMoneg: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under S5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she's been able to pu t a lot of what she’s learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam,14, Finn, 13, and Jack,11.“We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,” she explains. “I pay S5 for a portion（一份）, but Matt makes them for 26p a portion，because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we're not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.”The eight-part series（系列节目）, Save money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each we ek.

Goodbudget(free; iOS, Android)BJoanna Cole，born on August 11，1944 in Newark，New Jersey，has been credited to be one of the most popular children's authors of all time．She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children's book series．She knew as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science．Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers．Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana．She would eventually earn a bachelor's degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967after graduation.Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967．Eventually，she would take jobs working for Newsweek，Seesaw book club．Cole's passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time．In 1971 she decided to write her first book，Cockroaches．She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches．So she thought she would be the first．Cole struck gold when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985．The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success．Cole continued to write both nonfiction and fiction books for children．She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist．She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts．She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read．This creates an engaging experience for children，so it is no wonder why younger readers are hooked on her books．24．When Joanna Cole was young，she．A．was very popular with childrenB．got inspired by one of her teachersC．began her career of writing novelsD．knew what she would do in the future25．What does the underlined phrase probably mean？A．made a fortune B．made a promiseC．got ideas D．obtained help26．What do we know about Joanna Cole？A．She is the most famous woman writer in AmericaB．She writes novels not only for kids but for adults．C．She is an expert at getting science across to readersD.

There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫）and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序），never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can--- then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopedia Britannica(《大英百科全书》），I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Then, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe ,must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.28. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to ________.A. delay tasksB. work hardC. seek helpD. accept failure29. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A. Writing essays in strict order.B. Building up physical strength.C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.D. Dealing with the hardest task first.30. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A. Before starting a difficult taskB. When all the solutions fail.C. If the job is rather boring.D. After finding a way out.31. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________.A．ignore mental problems B. get some nice sleepC. gain complete reliefD. find the right solutionDThe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a little man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him.Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he co uld think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe(烟斗) and its magic power meant nothing.Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps. Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helpi ng me close up the shop?”Joy felt Mr. Dow’s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.32. What kind of life did Joy and his mother live?A. A poor life.B. A new life.C. A happy life.D. A modern life.33. Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?A. He felt sorry for his mother.B. He couldn’t help the family.C. He had run away from school.D. He disappointed his mother’s expectations.34. What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?A. It’s broad.B. It’s warm.C. It’s false.D. It’s secret.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Magic TrustB. A Powerful SmileC. Unconditional LoveD. An Interesting Pipe第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
辽宁省葫芦岛市普通高中2020届高三英语第一次模拟考试试卷
辽宁省葫芦岛市普通高中2020届高三英语第一次模拟考试试卷一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） (共4题；共30分)1．（8分）阅读理解When we're in need, we always turn to our parents for help. But would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions (延伸) of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there's also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don't get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated (侵犯）when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.It's a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don't want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn't take it personally if their child ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parent's friend request, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.（1）（2分）The passage is mainly about ______.A．privacy online B．parents' friend requestsC．the generation gap D．social networks（2）（2分）From Paragraph 2, we learn that ______.A．parents have realized the importance of social networksB．parents feel secure about their privacy onlineC．social networks successfully fill the generation gapD．social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate（3）（2分）Teenagers may refuse a parent's friend request because ______.A．their parents make negative comments on themB．they hide something from their parentsC．they are unwilling to be watched by parentsD．their parents tend to fall behind in technology（4）（2分）The passage is written mainly for ______.A．parents B．teachers C．researchers D．teenagers2．（6分）阅读理解Dear Mr.ing,I'm Bob Watson, one of the customers in your grocery store. I'm writing to express my idea about your goods.Your Supermart is outstanding in many ways. First I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh bakery items. Second your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to Supermart. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I don't like to make two trips. I have been a long time Supermart shopper and hope to continue for many years. If I could find all the items I need in one place, I would be a more satisfied customer.Specifically, I have never been able to purchase nacho cheese soup at your store. I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers, while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors.I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive.Yours truly,Bob Watson（1）（2分）From the letter, we can learn that the author is ________.A．a very picky reporter B．a regular customer of the storeC．a responsible nutritionist D．a competitor of the store（2）（2分）How does the author present his point in Paragraph 2?A．By comparing two different stores.B．By analyzing the figures.C．By providing scientific findings.D．By giving examples.（3）（2分）According to Bob, the grocery store ________.A．offers good customer service B．is outstanding in every wayC．meets all his needs D．lacks convenient transportation3．（8分）阅读理解In India, most of the women wear a red dot between their eyebrows. While it is generally taken as an indicator of their marital(婚姻的)status, the practice is primarily related to the Hindu(印度教的)religion. The dot goes by different names in different Hindi dialects, and “bindi" is the one that is most commonly known. Traditionally, the dot carries no gender restriction Men as well as women wear it. However, the tradition of men wearing it has faded in recent times, so nowadays we see a lot more women than men wearing one.The position of the bindi is standard center of the forehead, close to the eyebrows. It represents a third, or inner eye. Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes The two outer ones are used for seeing the outside world, and the third one is there to focus inward toward God. As such, the dot means piety(虔诚)and serves as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believer's thou ghts.Red is the traditional color of the dot. It is said that in ancient times a man would place a drop of blood between his wife's eyes to seal their marriage. According to Hindu beliefs, the color red is believed to bring good fortune to the married couple. Today, people go with different colors depending upon their preferences. Women often wear dots that match the color of their clothes. Decorative of sticker bindis come in all sizes, colors and variations, and can be worn by young and old, married and unmarried people alike. Wearing a bindi has become more of a fashion statement than a religious custom.（1）（2分）Why did people in India start wearing a red dot on their forehead?A．To stress their family background.B．To indicate their social rank.C．To show their religious belief.D．To display their financial status.（2）（2分）What is the function of the third eye in Hindu tradition?A．To help the other eyes see better.B．To look to the distance.C．To see the outside world.D．To pay respect to God.（3）（2分）Why was red chosen as the original color of the bindi?A．The word "bindi" means "red" in some Hindi dialects.B．Red was believed to be a lucky color for husband and wife.C．The red dot represented the blood of God.D．Red stood for a wife's love for her husband.（4）（2分）Which of the following statements is true about bindis today?A．Bindis are now used to make people look better.B．Bindis are worn anywhere on the face now.C．Most Indian women do not wear bindis anymore.D．More men than women wear bindis in India.4．（8分）阅读理解The Hunan Satellite TV(HNTV) show "Where are we going, Dad?" is a big hit. Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of the "how to be a good father". As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of "Lost on the way" played by nanny Daddy and cute kids triggered(触发)a lot of people's emotional resonance(共鸣). Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.The TV shows like "Children are hard to support!", "Where are we going, Dad?", "hot mom" and "cute kids" are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents' confusion in children's education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.In real life, on the one hand the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand they continue to do so. The data collected by HNTV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34.We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. The participation of mother in the children's education is also very low.It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that "Where are we going，Dad?" shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.（1）（2分）In raising a child in modern society, parents should ________.A．play computer games with their childrenB．keep their children at home to avoid socializingC．balance well between family and careerD．break down the barrier between children and teachers（2）（2分）Which of the following can be inferred in the passage?A．Parents shouldn't entirely leave the education of children to the old.B．36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34.C．The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.D．In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.（3）（2分）Which one is the best title of the passage?A．Confusion Behind “Where are we going, dad?”B．Modern Education is ImportantC．Nanny Daddy and Cute KidsD．New problems in Modern Children's Education（4）（2分）What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the second paragraph?A．Proud.B．Worried.C．Optimistic.D．Indifferent.二、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） (共1题；共10分)5．（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。
