AI’d just picked up my four-year-old daughter Norah from preschool when she reminded me to mind the elderly person walking across the parking lot.She continued to explain that she has a soft spot for mature folk,“I like old people best because they walk slow like I do.They all gonna die soon,so I’m gonna love them all up before they are dead.” Sure,it got kinda dark at the end;I had no idea how much she really meant it,but I liked where her heart was.The following day was her birthday.As we picked up the cupcakes at the grocery store,Norah was busy excitedly waving and joyfully proclaiming(宣布),“Hi,old person!It’s my birthday today!” The man was elderly,stone-faced,and ter we knew he was Mr Dan who had been lonely since his beloved wife died.However,before I could shush her for calling him an old person or ask the earth to swallow me whole,he stopped and turned to look at her.His expression softened as he replied,“Well,hello,little lady!And how old are you today?” He wished her a happy birthday,and we went our separate ways.A few minutes later,she asked me to take a picture with the old man for her birthday.Although I wasn’t sure if he’d oblige,I told her we’d certainly ask.When he heard our request,his expression changed from confused to shocked,then to delighted.They posed together;he beamed wordlessly staring at her with twinkling eyes as she kept his hand in hers.We were blocking other shoppers,but they didn’t mind.There was magic happening in the grocery store that day,and we could all feel it.I’d be lying to you if I said I wasn’t a weepy mess at the moment.1.Which of the following words best describes Norah?A.Naughty. B.Thoughtful.C.Rude. D.Curious.答案 B解+析推理判断题。

What is the play by Rajiv Joseph probably about?.A.A type of art.B.A teenager's studio.C.A great teacher.D.A group of animals.2. Who is the director of The Audience?A. Helen Mirren.B. Peter Morgan.C. Dylan Baker.D. Stephen Daldry.3. Which play will you go to if you are interested in American history?A. Animals Out of Paper.B. The Audience.C. Hamilton.D. O n the Twentieth Century.BFor Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative."It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源)of inspiration for designers," says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚)shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学)on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences."China is impossible to overlook," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion —they are central to its movement. "Of course, only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China-some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese." Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galiano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs-and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hil.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China-its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."4.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A. It promoted the sales of artworks.B. It attracted a large number of visitors.C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes.D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.5.What does Hill say about Chinese women?A. They are setting the fashion.B. They start many fashion campaigns.C. They admire super models.D. They do business all over the world.6.What do the underlined words "taking on" in paragraph 4 mean?A. learning fromB. looking down onC. working withD. competing against7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC. Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion TrendsCBefore the 1830s,most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.The trend, then, was toward the "penny paper"-a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy)to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny-usually two or three cents was charged-and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper " caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业)were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.8.Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?A. Academic.B. Unattractive.C. Inexpensive.D. Confidential.9.What did street sales mean to newspapers?A. They would be priced higher.B. They would disappear from cities.C. They could have more readers.D. They could regain public trust.10.Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?A. Local politicians.B. Common people.C. Young publishers.D. Rich businessmen.11.What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?A. It was a difficult process.B. It was a temporary success.C. It was a robbery of the poor.D. It was a disaster for printers.DMonkeys seem to have a way with numbers.A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分)of the smaller number to it."This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, "Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”12. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?A. They fed them.B. They named them.C. They trained them.D. They measured them.13. How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?A. By drawing a circle.B. By touching a screen.C. By watching videos.D. By mixing two drinks.14. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?A. They could perform basic addition.B. They could understand simple words.C. They could memorize numbers easily.D. They could hold their attention for long.15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D. Science.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。

practice for the first time.“She’s never played soccer before,” Mrs Benson told the coach.“I’m not sure how she’ll do.”Jenny ran onto the field and joined the other players.Over the next hour,Mrs Benson and the coach watched as Jenny out-ran(跑得比……快) many of the more experienced players.“I knew then that soccer would be Jenny’s sport.” Mrs Benson recalls.And she was right.It may have helped that Jenny had spent much of her time trying to keep up with her three brothers.“I wanted to be just like them,” Jenny says.“My family has inspired me for my entire life.”Jenny has retired from the United States women’s national soccer team.She started out on her professional career in the Philadelphia Charge,a team in the Women’s United Soccer Association(WUSA).Later on,she joined FC Energy V oronezh,and then New Jersey Wildcats.When the WUSA was being formed,league officials watched many college soccer games,looking for players good enough to join the league.They were very interested in Jenny,who played for the University of Nebraska.“Throughout that college season,I knew I was being watched,” Jenny says,“I knew I couldn’t be perfect,so I just tried to be very consistent and have fun.”As a professional,Jenny relied on her focused but fun-loving attitude.“In a game,I try never to put too much pressure on myself.The more I concentrate on having fun,the better I play.” She says.“I have good and bad days,just like everyone else,but I know the sun will always come up after a bad day.So all I have to do is to adjust myself,either to the change of my inner feelings or to the change of circumstances.That helps me get through anything.”24.What can we learn from Jenny’s first soccer practice?A.She was not sure how to play soccer.B.She was gifted in playing soccer.C.She was instructed by the soccer coach.D.She was more experienced than other players.25.Which professional team did she first play for?A.New Jersey Wildcats.B.FC Energy Voronezh.C.The University of Nebraska.D.The Philadelphia Charge.26.Which of the following can best describe Jenny?A.Talented but impatient.B.Confident and considerate.C.Concentrated and adaptable.D.Absorbed but self-centered.27.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.How Jenny developed her soccer career.B.Why Jenny retired from the national team.C.How Jenny’s brothers influenced her career.D.What made Jenny a good soccer player.C(2018·江西新余二模)Rome,Paris and New York are the world’s top fashion cities,all of which have produced some of the top trends,from fashionable skirts to the hottest new shoes.But have you ever wondered about the negative ideas that they have enforced?In April 2016,the Advertising Standards Authority(ASA) in Britain banned an ad from Gucci that featured models dancing around and having fun,because they were all extremely skinny.Banning ads due to the models’ extreme figures isn’t new.The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason.In France,it has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor’s note providing that they are at a healthy weight.So what is the healthy weight for models?Twenty years ago,the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman.Today,they weigh 23% less.People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models do.This provides a standard of beauty,and therefore people who want to achieve those things may attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways.People may think that they are overweight,due to the images of models’thin figures.They see something wrong with their bodies whether they are overweight or not.This is a key factor in a lowered body image,low self-esteem,depression and possibly even eating disorders.I’m not blaming the fashion industry by any means.It’s not their fault that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like theirs.I am glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing issue of body images in the fashion industry.By banning photos and videos,speaking out against them and pushing for doctors’ notes from the models,it’s pushing for the ideas that the traditional fashion industry’s body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned.28.According to the text,why was one of Gucci’s ads banned?A.Because the models didn’t act according to the rule.B.Because its models are much too thin.C.Because none of its models had a doctor’s note.D.Because its models were dancing in an unhealthy way.29.We can infer from the numbers mentioned in Paragraph 3 that .A.many women on a diet to become modelsB.people don’t know why models weigh lessC.models are becoming thinner with time going byD.the healthy weight for models hasn’t been decided30.What does the fourth paragraph mainly show?A.The changes in the standard of beauty.B.The benefits of becoming thin figures.C.The negative effects of models’ images.D.People’s attitudes towards models’ images.31.What is the author’s tone of writing this passage?A.Objective. B.Hopeful.C.Critical. D.Humorous.DThe effects of climate change set in,coastal cities such as the Italian city of Venice and the American city of New Orlean are slowly sinking.So is Bangkok.Officials in the city and scientists say they do not know how long people will be able to continue living in the Thai capital.Thailand’s military rulers are considering action.The National Reform Council wants the government to form a committee to deal with the warnings that Bangkok could be permanently underwater many years from now.The Saen Canal was built in Bangkok in the late 1830s.In a neighborhood near the waterway,walkways are breaking up.Walls on homes,small businesses and an Islamic center appear to be bending.The area is sinking about two centimeters a year,which is two times the average rate for the rest of Bangkok.“I don’t know what to do” says Vijitri Puangsiri who has lived in the neighborhood for 44 years.Her home needs to be repaired every year because of the sinking ground.The walkway in front of her century-old house where she operates a small restaurant must also be repeatedly repaired.“If you travel on the canal boats,you can see how this is all hollow,” Somsak Kongeeng says,“The buildings to see him are sinking because they were not built on solid foundations.”He joked that if we come back to see him again in 20 years,the water level will be almost as highas his head.But he is also partly serious.That might be only a small overstatement in a city that is,on average,just two meters above sea level.Observers say two reasons for the sinking are a rising sea level and too much pumping of groundwater.Another reason,they say,is the decision by developers to build so many high-rises because they earn quantities of money by doing so.This kind of development worries those who are concerned with the rising water level.32.What do we know from the passage?A.Vijitri Puangsiri’s home needs repairing owing to the broken walkway.B.The Saen canal was a supporting evidence of the sinking ground.C.Somsak Kongeeng simply treats the sinking as a joke.D.Bangkok is not suitable for people to live in any more.33.To slow down the sinking of the city in a practical way,we suggest . A.replacing the loose soil with concreteB.forbidding pumping groundwaterC.repairing their homes every yearD.stopping the rising of sea level34.What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A.To appeal to protect the city of Bangkok.B.To explain the reasons for the sinking.C.To stress the significance of Bangkok.D.To inform us of the situation of Bangkok.35.What is the best title of this passage?A.The Saen Canal—Cause of the SinkingB.A Warning from BangkokC.Bangkok—a Coastal City at RiskD.Reasons for Sinking Buildings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。

ARaised by a single mother in Hartford, Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another. He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for.“I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders,” he said. “I couldn’t handle it. I didn’t care about life anymore.” But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly.“I was seven when I met Mrs. Kelly. I wasn’t used to strictness. I wasn’t used to hearing the word ‘no’,” said Wright, now 17.Kelly, a former soldier and an equestrian(骑手), took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place—on a horse.“Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole, “Kelly said. “He was hurting. He needed a place where he could express himself. The riding field became that place for him.”For the last 30 years, Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her non-profit, Ebony Horsewomen. The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young people a year. By exposing those children to horsemanship, Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around.“We use horse as a hook to create pride, esteem and healing,” said Kelly, 66. “They learn1that t hey have ability. They just have to unlock it.”“When you teach children to ride horses, they learn they are the center of their environment,” said Kelly, “Once they make the connection, they can change what happens in school, at home and in the community.”1. Why did Fred Wright have to move from one school to another?A. Because his mother couldn’t afford the fees.B. Because his parents got divorced.C. Because he behaved badly at school.D. Because he didn’t set a life goal.2. How did Patricia Kelly help Fred Wright?A. She provided him with a home.B. She exposed him to the riding field.C. She found him a better school.D. She encouraged him to learn science.3. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. Horse riding is helpful to the growth of kids.B. Patricia Kelly is a very successful woman.C. Horses are closely related to the environment.D. It is hard for a kid to learn to ride a horse.BWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the people there. If tourists create too much traffic, the people there become angry and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the culture and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should be also helpful for the health and happiness of local people. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It takes a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class2roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.4. Which of the following probably has been discussed right before this passage?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.5. Not enough tourism will _____.A. cause the prices to rise and the income to fallB. lead to fewer tourist attractionsC. have more local people out of workD. ruin other parts of the country’s economy6.It can be inferred from the text that ________.A. the author doesn’t like the tourism to develop quicklyB. tourism can make a difference to the country’s economyC. local people don’t want to be disturbed by touristsD. too many support facilities will lead to jobs and money lossCCotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying Coca-Cola and Pepsi, believing that the sugar in the fizzy (起泡的) drinks kills pests.Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests, and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicals---although soft drinks makers and scientists dismissed the remarks. N. Hamunayya, who has become a famous person in3his village in the south-eastern state of Andhra Pradesh, said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides. “We found that all the cola had a uniform effect on pests. The pests became dead and fell to the ground,” he said. He said the drinks had all the elements they needed: they were cheaper, sticky, fizzy, and attracted ants, which ate the young of the pests. But Thinupathi Reddy, assistant director of the Regional Agriculture Research Station, Guntur, says tests had proved such results wrong. “We conducted some fiel d trials on cotton crop at our research station. There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests,” he says.Statements from Pepsi and Coca-Cola said there was “no scientific basis” for this practice. But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales. Mantan Wall, who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region, said sales rose up, thanks to the farmers. “For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business. Instead of just 30 cases (each containing a dozen one-litre bottles) of cola, I started selling almost 200 cases,” he said. “We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues (残留) in the cola drinks. Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers,” he said.In February, an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by Coca-Cola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards. The US firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.7. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage ?A. Introduce an incident that happened in India.B. Warn people of the harmful effects of soft drinks.C. Suggest using Coca-Cola and Pepsi to kill pests.D. Announce a new discovery of some soft drinks.8. According to paragraph 2, the drinks can kill pests because_____.A. there is some pesticide left in themB. they are cheaper, sticky and fizzyC. they have all the elements that kill pestsD. they made pesticides more effective9. What does the underlined part “this practice” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?4A. testing the mixtureB. selling more drinks in IndiaC. mixing the drinks with pesticidesD. attracting ants to eat the young pests10. The drink makers wouldn’t accept the fact that their drinks could kill pests because_____.A. they thought it went against scienceB. they didn’t believe the farmers told the truthC. they feared it might bring harm to their businessD. they insisted there was no poison left in their products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。

BScientists found gravitational waves as they watched the effects of two black holes running into each other and forming a much bigger one,a century after Albert Einstein predicted that such an event would send ripples(波纹) through space­time.Scientists “heard” the wave with the help of laser beams(激光束) sent through two pipes which form an angle of 90° between each other and are nearly 2,000 miles apart in the US. That equipment let them glimpse the nature of black holes.Together they made up the Laser Interferometer Gravitational­Wave Observatory(LIGO).Gravitational waves were first observed in September 2015 and the second detection(发现) occurred three months later.The third detection,which the astronomers called GW170104,was made on January 4,2017. The astronomers believed their latest finding “provides clues about the directions in which the black holes are spinning”.“Black holes are beautifully simple.You just need two numbers to describe them completely:mass,how much they bend space­time,and a spin,how much space­time moves about them,”said Dr Christopher Berry of the University of Birmingham,one of the researchers in the project.“But it takes lots of hard work to measure these from our data.We now have wonderful mass measurements,and are starting to uncover details about the spins of these black holes,which could give evidence for how they formed.”The researchers said their discovery added further evidence to support Einstein’s general theory of relativity and confirmed the existence of previously unknown black holes.More than 1,000 scientists from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration were involved in the project along with an additional 280 researchers from the European­based Virgo Collaboration.Scientists hope gravitational waves will offer a completely different view of the universe,allowing them to study events that might be hidden from traditional telescopes.“We havefurther confirmation of the existence of stellar(恒星的)­mass black holes that are larger than 20 solar masses.We didn’t know they existed before LIGO detected them,”MIT researcher David Shoemaker said.4.Who pioneered gravitational waves?A.David Shoemaker. B.Christopher Berry.C.Scientists from LIGO. D.Albert Einstein.答案D解析细节理解题。
