2019年浙江省十校联盟高三10月联考英语试题注意事项:1.答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息;2.请将答案正确填写在答题卡上。

第I卷(选择题)一、阅读理解One evening last summer, 11-year-old Owen and his mom put on white suits and taped their rain boots to their pant legs. Then they each grabbed a wooden pole with a large white cloth attached to it and started dragging the tools through the trees and grass in their Wisconsin backyard.They were looking for ticks(扁虱虫). Owen’s mom, Amy Prunuske, teaches microbiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Wausau. She studies diseases that ticks carry. Owen, though, is known as a citizen scientist. Citizen scientists are people—young or old—who help collect data for research projects. They usually aren’t professional scientists, or if they are, not in the field of the project. Still, their work can be incredibly important. Citizen scientists can help trained scientists gather data from all over the world—even from space. They can provide new ideas and new ways of thinking.Kids often make great citizen scientists because they tend to be curious and good at following precise directions. Sometimes they’re even better at these things than adults. And schools are convenient places for scientists to recruit big groups of helpers. As a bonus, citizen science often gets kids more excited about science.Citizen science takes advantage not just of many sets of eyeballs, but also of many minds. When professional European scientists in Austria were trying to find how best to encourage people to use less energy, they partnered with student citizen scientists. The adult scientists had a long list of questions for people about how much energy they used. Right away, the students noticed some problems the adults hadn’t thought of. There were too many questions, the kids said. And some of those questions were too complicated.The day in the backyard, Owen found two black-legged ticks, animals so tiny they’re often hard to see. He and his mom took the pests to a summer program she was teaching. There, he and other young citizen scientists tested the ticks for the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, which causes fever and headaches and can make a person extremely tired.1.Why did Owen go to catch ticks with his mom?A.To provide data for professional scientists.B.To prepare for his own future research.C.To help her study the diseases carried by ticks.D.To prevent ticks from spreading diseases.2.What do we learn from paragraph 4?A.Citizen science is mostly carried out at school.B.Students only help find answers to basic questions.C.Student scientists are more creative in scientific research.D.Young citizen scientists help professional scientists a lot.3.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Scientists Find New Ways of Research B.Kids Make Great Citizen Scientists C.Scientists Need New Ideas from Kids D.Kids Show Great Interest in ScienceWhen people are rude to their co-workers or treat them badly, they probably don’t realize the unintended victims in the encounter could be the co-workers, children. Women who experience incivility in the workplace are more likely to engage in stricter, more authoritarian parenting practices that can have a negative impact on their children, according to the research presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association.“These findings reveal some previously undocumented ways that women, in particular, suffer as a result of workplace aggression,” said researcher Angela Dionisi, PhD, of Carleton University. This research also speaks to a previously unacknowledged group of indirect incivility victims, namely children.Workplace incivility is any behavior that is disrespectful, impolite or otherwise goes against workplace standards of respect, according to coauthor Kathryne Dupre, PhD, of Carleton University. “We now know that the outcomes of workplace incivility are vast and negative,” said Dupre. Survey results showed that incivility in the workplace was associated with mothers feeling less effective as parents, which could help explain the increased need toengage in strict, controlling parenting behavior, said Dupre.Authoritarian parents have high expectations from their children, with rules that they expect their children to follow unconditionally. At the same time, though, they provide very little in the way of feedback and severely punish any mistake, said Dupre. They tend to have lots of regulations and micromanage almost every aspect of their children’s lives, valuing discipline over fun.“Research suggests that authoritarian p arenting is more of a negative style of parenting as compared to other parenting styles. This style of parenting has been associated with a variety of negative child outcomes, including exhibiting aggressive behavior outside the home, being fearful or overly shy around others, having difficulty in social situations due to a lack of social competence,” she said.4.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “incivility” in Paragraph 1?A.Rudeness. B.Panic.C.Violence. D.Argument.5.Which of the following is NOT a feature of authoritarian parents?A.They tend to be too strict with their children.B.They set high standards for their children to reach.C.They want to keep their children’s life under control.D.They attach equal importance to discipline and fun.6.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The cause of more authoritarian parents.B.The harm of workplace incivility to children.C.The different styles of parenting practices.D.The effects of high expectations from children.It is no secret that physical activity is necessary to a person’s well-being. Because children are continuously developing physically and emotionally, they are especially affected by the benefits of activity. Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative reports that nearly one-third of US children are overweight or obese, and that “schools are a key setting for kids to get their 60 minutes of play with moderate activity, given the significant portion(部分) of time they spend there.”Physical education programs in schools directly benefit students’ physical health. Regular exercise promotes muscles and bone development. In addition to participating in physical activity, students in P.E. learn the fundamentals of a healthful lifestyle, the building blocks upon which they can develop into healthy, knowledgeable adults.Though the lack of attention on P.E. is often justified as an opportunity to spend more time in the classroom, studies show that physical activity contributes to improved academic performance. Regular activity during the school day is strongly associated with higher concentration levels. A statewide policy in North Carolina requires that children from kindergarten to eighth grade participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day.Activities in P.E. help children develop healthful social interactions. From a young age, children learn cooperation through group activities and form a positive sense of identity as part of a team. Such group activities are continually important as children grow older. The International Platform on Sport and Development states that sport has been used as a practical tool to engage young people in their communities through volunteering, resulting in higher levels of leadership and community engagement among young people.The benefits of P.E. to a child’s mental health are both complex and comprehensive. Improved physical health, academics and social interactions all contribute to good mental health. Physical activit y sets the stage for a good night’s sleep, provides more energy to participate in hobbies and interact with others.7.The first paragraph implies that ________.A.children are becoming much lazier nowadaysB.some schools have forbidden physical activityC.most parents are dissatisfied with school educationD.schools must pay more attention to physical education8.Physical education is ignored in a way because ________.A.children dislike taking physical activityB.schools are worried about children’s safetyC.students should have more time for studyD.less sporting equipment is available to school children9.Which is NOT a benefit of P.E.classes?A.They assure you of a successful future. B.They keep your mind in a good state. C.They help you focus on your studies. D.They do good to your social skills.10.What is the author’s possible attitude towards the policy in North C arolina? A.Sceptical. B.Favorable.C.Ambiguous. D.Objective.二、完形填空We’ve all seen ambulances come speeding down the road, prepared to help when disaster 11 . But sometimes even an ambulance can’t 12 fast enough to save someone’s l ife. In 13 like that, Eli Beer hopes to save the day.Beer is the founder of United Hatzalah, a volunteer-run organization in Israel, 14to saving lives. Every year many people die waiting for an ambulance to arrive because the ambulance got 15 in traffic or was simply too far away. Trying to solve this problem by using motorcycles, Beer 16 a team of volunteers from all 17 and stages of life and trained them to respond to emergencies. He then gave each of them a motorcycle equipped with medical 18 . Then the volunteer went 19 to their daily lives.United Hatzalah has a call center staffed 20 by volunteers. When someone calls to tell them of an emergency, they answer it in three 21 or less. Then Beer’s tech nology calculates which volunteer is closest to the 22 . As soon as that volunteer is notified, he or she 23 everything and rushes over.When a volunteer arrives, he or she 24 CPR(心肺复苏) if necessary, and uses the medical equipment in the motorcycle to help the 25 . The goal is 26 : Keep the patient alive until the regular ambulance arrives. According to Beer, an ambulance’s average response time is 12 to 15 minutes, while United Hatzalah volunteers 27 in three.United Hatzalah’s medical care is 28 for patients because it’s run mostly by volunteers, and donations cover the 29 of supplies and staff.

A doctor should treat serious medical conditions like these as soon as possible.Emotional problems, such as stress, anxiety or depression, can make a person more forgetful. For instance, someone who has recently retired or who is coping with the death of a relative or a friend may feel sad, lonely or worried. 33.The confusion and forgetfulness caused by emotions are usually temporary and go away when the feelings fade. The emotional problems can be eased by supportive friends and family. 34.Treatment may include counseling, medication or both.If you’re concerned that you or someone you know has a serious memory problem, talk with your doctor. 35.Health care professionals can recommend ways to manage the problem or make suggestions on treatment or services that might help you out.A.Consider participating in clinical trials or studies.B.It’s advisable to have health issues treated in time.C.He or she can diagnose the problem or refer you to a specialist.D.But if they last for a long time, it is necessary to get help from a doctor.E.Some memory problems are related to health issues that may be treatable.F.As people get older, changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain.

2019-2020学年温州市第九中学高三英语月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ABob and Sue Harvey spent nine years as resident fellows in a dormitory at Sanford and in their bookVirtual Reality and The College Freshman, they write “The Freshman oftenfaces an identity problem during the first semester.” College is a more pressured environment than it used to be, in part because the academic gap between high school and college has increased. Many college freshmen have never had to make independent decisions about sex, drugs and alcohol. Most don’t know how to manage their time or money. They often feel lonely and overwhelmed, resulting in anxiety and depression.Nancy Corbin, director of clinical service for student-counseling (咨询) services at Iowa State University, says her office is seeing a significant increase in requests for counseling from freshmen who are having trouble making the adjustment to college life. She says older teenagers increasingly lack the skills to deal with personal problems that aren’t easily defined or fixed. And they get homesick but have a hard time admitting it.Parents and high schools can make things easier on freshmen by preparing them differently. For example, by teaching them to budget their hours and dollars. The Harveys think high schools should offer a college-life course. “Parents need to focus more on relationship and personal issues and less on how many sheets and towels to take,” they say. Many homesick freshmen think they’ll be regarded as failures if they come home before Thanksgiving. So parents can help by letting them know they’re welcome to return if they feel the need. In the meantime, parents have to find new ways to keep in touch with their college kids. One of the best ways is e-mail. It’s less unpleasant and less expensive than constant phone calls and is more likely to be answered than a handwritten letter.1. Why is the first semester difficult for freshmen in college?A. Because they often fail in exams.B. Because they lack time and money.C. Because they are too homesick to make new friends.D. Because they have to settle personal issues on their own.2. In the last paragraph, it is suggested that ________.A. parents should stop buying anything for their kidsB. parents should develop a good relationship with their kidsC. parents should be taught how to send e-mails to their kidsD. parents should work with high schools in college-life courses3. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Hard Life of College FreshmenB. Approaches to Trouble in CollegeC. Freshmen’s Adaptation ProblemsD. A Strange Phenomenon in CollegeBThe idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recentlystruck a chord withmany young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes (纷争) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”4. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean?A. Warned.B. Criticized.C. Touched.D. Amused.5. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young?A. Improvements in living conditions.B. Growing pressure from family and social life.C. Increasing material possessions from families.D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.6. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group?A. Understanding.B. Intolerant.C.Supportive.D. Unclear.7. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text?A. They never really drop their responsibilities.B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.D. They would rather escape than take challenges.CWe interviewed two people, one who went from the country to the city and one who did the opposite.Janet Lincoln is a salesgirl who moved to St. Louisfive years ago. Here’s what Janet told us:“Five years ago I used to live in a small town called Lemon Falls. I grew up and went to high school there. After I graduated I worked in a supermarket. Lemon Falls had a population of about 800 people, and I knew every single one of them. They all knew everything about me, too. You couldn’t do anything without everyone in town knowing about it. The first chance I got I moved to St. Louis and I love it. I don’t know as many people now as I used to, but that’s OK. I have a few good friends, and I see them when I want to. I kind of like beinganonymous. I’d never go back to Lemon Falls.”Troy Henson had the opposite experience. He and his wife, Darla, and their two children moved from St. Louis to Bloomfield three years ago. Here’s what Troy told us:“The best thing we ever did was get out of St. Louis. Don’t get me wrong; St. Louis is as good a place as any other city, I suppose — if you like cities, that is. We don’t. Both Darla and I grew up in St. Louis. We met at college and got married. Then the kids came along and life got difficult. We didn’t know any of our neighbors. We both had good jobs, but it always seemed like there was never enough money. That all changed when we moved to Bloomfield. I don’t make as much money as I used to, but then we don’t have as many expenses as we did. We know our neighbors. Life is good. We’d never leave Bloomfield.”8. What troubled Janet when she was in Lemon Falls?A. She had no friends.B. There was no privacy.C. There was a lot of competition.D. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.9. What does the underlined word “anonymous” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Alone.B. Prepared.C. Sociable.D. Unknown.10. Different from Janet, Troy ________.A. prefers country lifeB. moved to a bigger cityC. grew up in a smaller townD. knows little about his new neighbors11. What is Troy’s opinion on living in Bloomfield?A. It is a little boring.B. It is quite comfortable.C. It costs a lot of money.D. It creates a safe environment.DIn Copenhagen, an 8-year dream was realized when the first paid skiers took their runs down a one-third-mile course (路线).They skied on what is possibly the greenestpower factory in the world.The factory is so clean and safe that designers were able to turn its buildings into a new center for social life.The waste-to-power factory itself opened in 2017 under the name Amager Bakke.Bjarke Ingels is the architect whosecompany came up with the idea eight years ago of designing a power plant building that would join mountain sports into its very nature.“It is the cleanest waste-to-energy power plant in the world.It is not only better for the environment, it is also moreenjoyable for the lives of its citizens.” Ingels says 97% of city people get their heating as a by-product of energy production.It comes from a system where the electricity, heating, and waste disposal (处理) are mixed into a single process.He dreams that it is also becoming an example that others can look to and say, “IfCopenhagencan do it why can' t we?"There are no hills in this island city, but now people can ski locally, while enjoying the best views ever seen of the harbor.Another thing missing hereis snow cover throughout the winter, so designers set up a kind of special "plastic grass" that provides the perfect friction (摩擦力) for downhill winter sports.In a country where 600, 000 skiers always had to travel to practice sking, to be able to finally ski in their backyard-and, all year round - is, as one skier said, “AMAZING.”The company hopes to see 300, 000 visitors enjoying the experience of Copen hill each year, with the ski slope costing $ 22 an hour or just $ 366 for a full season pass.Meanwhile, the city is one step closer to its final goal of becoming the world's first carbon-neutral city by 2025.We thinkit might be all “down hill” from here.12. How does the power factory produce electricity?A. By using oil.B. By using coal.C. By usingwind.D. By using waste.13. What' s Ingels' dream according to the passage?A. To make more tall buildings in different big cities.B. To help more skiers to ski in high mountains.C. There will be more green power factories in the world.D. More and more people will ski in the power factory.14. Where do the skiers ski in the power factory?A. On man-made snow.B. On man-made ice.C. On plastic grass.D. On real sand.15. The underlined part “it might be all 'downhill' from here" means that________.A. they will soon reach their final goalB. they will soon draw many visitorsC. they will produce more electricityD. they have difficulties reaching the goal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。

Knightscope says the goal is to reduce crime by half in areas the robots guard.William Santana Li is the chief executive officer of Knightscope. He says,"These robot security guards will change the world. Our planet has more than seven billion people on it. It's going to quickly get to nine billion people. The security equipmentthat we have globally is just not going to develop that fast. The company's Autonomous Data Machines can become the eyes and ears of law enforcement(执法).""You want them to be machines plus humans. Let. the machines do the heavy and sometimes dangerous work and let the humans do the strategic decision-making work,so it's always working all together."The machines do not carry weapons but they have day and night video cameras which are able to turn 360 degrees and can also sense chemical and biological weapons.Some people may become concerned about their privacy, especially in connection with the video recordings. Some people may worry that such recordings will appear on the Internet. Eugene Volokh, a law professor at the UCLA School of Law, says the machines have to be used in the right way and it will be interesting to see how state laws deal with this kind of video.William Santana Li says there is a long waiting list for the robots in theUS.

Security Robots Could Help Cut CrimeBI 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.4. 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.5.

Life Lessons from My Father.D. My Father's Experience inHarlem.CPeggy 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.”8. 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.9. What does the underlined word probably mean in the passage?A. Amazing.B. Not surprising.C. Enthusiastic.D. Unbelievable.10. 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.11. 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.DTo hear people talk about Internet friendships, you would think it was one giant web of cat-fishing and e-crime. While we all undoubtedly have to take measures to remain safe online, assuming every friendship or connection made on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook is cheating or insincere would be a mistake.As a woman who works in the creative industry, I have found real joy in seeking out a community I couldn’t find elsewhere, and making some great friends along the way. My first online friendship was on Twitter with my(now) best friend, during the university exam period. We exchanged study notes in dozens of direct messages, set a study date, and haven’t looked back since.Drawn to each other by similar circumstances, friendships online are similar to offline in that they tend to begin because of shared interest or common ground-maybe they’ve read the post on Instagram. Maybe they have the same taste in food or politics. Or maybe they just love memes too. If online friendships start similar to friendships offline, they grow in the same way, too. Often through mutual support: apart from calling a friend to congratulate him on that new job, you also re-tweet his jokes and praise his Instagram story.Despite my positive experiences when I tell people, most are still suspicious. Eyebrows are raised higher when I explain not only have I found a community online but have made friendships with people I meet face-to-face too. Actually, these are just as valid as other friendships, according to behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings, who says online friendships can be real.So how do you know if people are there for the real you or just because you’re popular on Instagram?Hemmings has simple rules. She tells me “You have to equally feel comfortable that you’re getting something of each other instead of being used to enable something that isn’t friendship.”Therefore, if all a “friend” online is asking you to do is to promote their work or personal brand and rarely takes an interest in you, then there may be room to question the basis of the friendship. On that note it is worth remembering that just because someone has a lot of followers, it doesn’t necessarily mean they have lots of friends.12. What is most people’s attitude towards online friendship?A. Negative.B. Positive.C. Objective.D. Neutral.13. Why does the writer share her own experience in paragraph 2?A. To introduce the background information of the text.B. To convey the writer’s attitude and give the related example.C. To prove the likely risk for people to develop friendship online.D. To remind people of the various benefits of making friends online.14. How can online and offline friendships be deepened?A. They should be based on shared interest.B. They need to have common ground.C. They require support from each other.D. They can’t live without social media.15. According to the author, what’s the golden rule to make friends online?A. A friend to all is a friend to none.B. Without confidence there is no friendship.C. A friend without faults will never be found.D. Friendship cannot stand always on one side.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。

AFrom my kitchen windows, I watch colorful birds responding for black-oiled sunflower seeds, split peanuts, and cut grapes and apples on the ground. The scene is delightful and calming. About three years ago, I noticed a newcomer to this colorful and happy display. It was a baby chipmunk(花栗鼠), apparently on its own. Over that summer, I watched it grow. The brown and black stripes(条状)on its back darkened. The next summer, it was back, and I wondered whether it would trust me to feed it by hand or let me pet it. I decided to employ the tricks I used to persuade wild cats to come close for food: patience, a soft voice, slow moves and repetition. Before it would approach, I’d put down its favorite food—sunflower seeds, bend over and keep very still. I’d leave my open hand i n place, unmoving, so the animal would know I wouldn’t seize it. I continued doing this for a few weeks. Finally, late in that second summer, it did show more trust. One day as I offered a seed on my fingertips, it approached and carefully took the seed into its mouth. It never bit my fingers. I was elated that we had made a breakthrough of trust. After abouttwo months of this routine, I went further. With one finger, I petted its back once, but it didn’t move away. I then petted with two fingers. Again, it stayed put, eating seeds.Today, the Chipmunk comes out of hiding when I call its name, and lets me pet its soft, silky body. Whenever I am doing this, I feel calmer. To my surprise, I also feel a sense of greater respect for nature andits creatures and the opportunity to observe, protect and save wildlife. Most of all, I've saved the wonderful memories gathered during these glorious summer months in my Long Island garden.21. What did the writer do before the Chipmunk trusted him enough to get closer?A. Petted its back.B. Offered it food.C. Called its name.D. Watched it play.22. What does the underlined word “elated” in the second paragraph mean?A. disappointedB. excitedC. frightenedD. puzzled23. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. A furry friend and a bond of trustB. A lovely animal and an adventureC. A stress reliever and a calm mindD. A newcomer and its protectionBEvery year, thousands of women suffer life-changing injuries or die during childbirth because hospitals and medical workers skip safety practices known to avoid disaster, a USA TODAY research has found.Doctors and nurses should do something to check and record blood loss so that they can recognize the danger sooner. They should be giving medicines within an hour of spotting dangerously high blood pressure to avoid strokes (中风).These are not complex procedures requiring expensive technology. They are among basic tasks that experts have re commended for years because they can save mothers’ lives. Yet hospitals, doctors and nurses across the country continue to ignore them, USA TODAY found.As a result, women are left to bleed until their organs shut down. Their high blood pressure goes untreated until they suffer strokes. They die of preventable blood clots (堵塞) and untreated infections (感染). Survivors can be left unable to have more children.USA TODAY obtained more than a half-million pages of hospital quality records and examinedthe cases of more than 150 women whose deliveries went terribly wrong. Reporters interviewed 75 birthing hospitals to record whether they follow the recommended procedures.Together, these documents and interviews expose a shocking lack of attention to safety recommendations and widespread failure to protect new mothers.At dozens of hospitals in New York, Pennsylvania and the Carolinas, fewer than half of pregnant patients were immediately treated for dangerous blood pressure that put them at risk of stroke.

To call for medical staff’s attention to new mothersCFor decades, the admission to the eight selective high schools, which rank near the top of U.S secondary schools, has been based on the city’s Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT). Tens of thousands of eighth graders seek admission, but only 10% of those admitted are from disadvantaged backgrounds, who make up 67% of New York City students. Therefore, Mayor de Blasio recently put forward a new plan. He’d use New York State’s standardized (标准的) test results plus class ranks to select students for the specialized schools so that high achievers from those disadvantaged backgrounds would get the opportunity.Critics (评论家) say this will admit youngsters who don’t get top marks on an objective admission test, thus harming the schools’ quality. However, two proven ways can guarantee these schools’ excellence and the mayor’s plan contains both.The first is screening every student using a universal assessment that almost everyone takes rather than relying on a separate exam. It has been employed in Broward County and it worked really well for poor and minority youngsters.The second is analyzing scores at the school level instead of the district level, so that it is fair for able students in every “feeder schools”. This makes the qualifying (有资格的) populations diverse in a way that doesn’t favor advantaged kids. That’s why the University of Texas offers admission to the top 7% of graduates of every high school in the state rather than the top 7% statewide.New York City has long failed its high achievers from disadvantaged backgrounds. So Mayor deBlasio’s reforms could be a step in the right direction —if they’re done right.27. What do we know from the first paragraph?A. Secondary high schools are in great demand in New York.B.
