He was fromYingshan,Hubei,China, living from 970 to 1051 AD. His method replaced panels of printing blocks with moveable individual Chinese characters that could be reused. The first moveable Chinese Characters were carved into clay and baked into hard blocks that were then arranged onto an iron frame that was pressed against an iron plate.The earliest mention of Bi Sheng’s printing press is in the bookDream Pool Essays, written in 1086 by Shen Kuo, who noted that his nephews came into possession of Bi Sheng’s typefaces (字体) after his death. Shen Kuo explained that Bi Sheng did not use wood because the texture is inconsistent (不一致的) and absorbs wetness too easily.By the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, which ruled from 1127 to 1279 AD, books had become popular in society and helped create a scholarly class of citizens who had the capabilities to become civil servants. Large printed book collections also became a status symbol for the wealthy class.1. When was Bi Sheng’s printing press first introduced in history?A. After Bi Sheng died and his nephews owned his typefaces.B. When books became popular in the Southern Song Dynasty.C. After the block printing was replaced by the moveable type printing.D. WhenThe Diamond Sutrawas printed into a book.2. What can we infer from the passage?A. Shen Kuo made great contributions to printing.B.

To introduce the early history of printing.C. To memorize Bi Sheng, developing the moveable type printing.D. To indicate the advantages of moveable type printing.BDo you ever listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don’t. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are muchcooler. But scientists found that people’s music taste changes as time goes by. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’, whether you like it or not.We used to think that culture and personality (个性) are the only reasons for different music choices. But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste. There are some musical periods that people go through in their life.The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent.But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change they want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&.B, which is usually uplifting and danceable.When middle age comes, most people have settled down. During this period, people prefer music, such as jazz and classical, as well as music like country, folk and blues.As for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods. They generally listen to relaxing music, such as country music and jazz music. But you must be questioning. “Aren’t there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music?” Of course there are. But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth.4. What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy?A. They are actually less cool.B. They are worth listening to.C. They are especially serious.D. They are hard to understand.5. How many musical periods are there that people go through in their life?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.6. People who want to make friends mostly prefer ________.A. jazz musicB. country musicC. rock musicD. pop music7. What is the best title for the text?A. People Have Different Opinions on MusicB. People Listen to Music for the Same ReasonC. People’s Taste in Music Changes with TimeD. People’s Lifestyle Can Be Changed by MusicCA world in which extinct creatures could be brought back to life came a step closer yesterday. Australian scientists have managed to extract a gene from a preserved sample of a Tasmanian tiger and make it active. Thebreakthroughhas left them dreaming that one day they will be able to recreate the animal, which died out more than 70 years ago. And if it can be done with the Tasmanian tiger, it may also be possible to resurrect (复活) creatures that have been extinct for far longer.“There used to be a time when extinction meant forever, but no more, ” said Professor Mike Archer. “We are now able to seriously challenge whether those animals that have gone for ever. What has been achieved is a very important step in bringing back those animals that are extinct. And while I think that technically it is still pretty difficult at the moment, we can now see the possibilities. I’m personally convinced that the Tasmanian tiger will be brought back to life in my lifetime.”The breakthrough came after nine years of experiments by scientists at the University of Melbourne, who extracted a gene from one of several tigers preserved in alcohol in a Melbourne museum. They removed the equivalent gene from a mouse embryo implanted the tiger gene and then watched as the mouse continued to grow normally, suggesting the tiger gene had been activated.Team leader Dr. Andrew Pask said it was the first time DNA from an extinct species had been used to “induce (引起) a functional response in another living organism”.However, the animal’s entire gene structure would have to be revived in the same way to even begin the possibility of bringing the Tasmanian tiger back from the dead.Mick Mooney, a wildlife officer ofthe Tasmanian Government, was worried that such developments couldencourage people’s indifference to the protection of endangered species.“If people think that we can bring animals back to life after they’ve gone, they will start saying that there is nothing to worry about because we can fix it up later.”8. What does the underlined word “breakthrough” in the l paragraph refer to?A. Scientists have recreated new animals.B. Scientists have resurrected endangered animal.C. It has turned out that some creatures would not go extinct.D. A tiger gene has been extracted successfully and activated.9. Scientists are carrying out the experiments in order to ________.A. bring extinct animals back to lifeB. transplant the genes of tigers into other animalsC. find out what factors lead to the animals’ extinctionD. find a new way to extract animals’ DNA10. Mike Archer thinks that ________.A. scientists now have no technological difficulty reconnecting extinct animalsB. it’ll be a century or so before a Tasmanian tiger walks on the earth againC. humans have come closer in reconnecting extinct animalsD. reconnecting extinct animals is impossible11. We can learn from Mick Mooncy’s words that_________.A. he thought it unnecessary to worry about endangered animalsB. his opinion is in contrast with that of the Tasmanian GovernmentC. he thought people should be encouraged to protect endangered animalsD. he is concerned that bringing extinct animals back to life may have a negative effectDFor as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn't last long.I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed tolive up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—selfimprovement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of selfreflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of selfhatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.12. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A. She could change her weight at will.B. She had different beauty standards from others.C. She tried to love others to build her confidence.D. She was greatly influenced by others' opinions.13. Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”?A. She was poorly disciplined.B. She failed to celebrate “skinny”．C. She was labelled as lazy for her weight.D. She put on more weight after entering adulthood.14. What caused the author to make a change?A. Her lighter body.B. A troublesome illness.C. Popular beauty standards.D. Others' critical comments.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Beauty matters.B. Opinions vary.C. Worth your weight.D. Beyond your limits.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。

Take unforgettable pictures．B. Come across Bob Dylan．C. Visit New York Public Library．D. Learn about famous artists．BThe United States Congress is responsible for making and approving federal laws-rules that everyone in the country must follow．But exactly how do those laws get made？The process is not easy，and it takes a long time．A law begins when someone puts forward an idea．The idea can come from anyone，but it has to get to a U．S．lawmaker who wants it to become legislation．In time，the idea is further developed into a written proposal，called a bill．Then，a member of Congress officially proposes the bill．After the bill is introduced，it is sent to a small group of lawmakers，called a "committee"．Sometimes committee members seek more information about the proposal by holding hearings．Sometimes the committee changes the bill．Sometimes it decides not to take any action．In that case，we say lawmakers "table" the bill，or let it "die in committee"．But now and then，the bill is offered to lawmakers not on the committee．Those lawmakers debate the bill further．They might change the bill again．Finally，the full House or Senate votes on the bill．If it does not earn the majority of votes，the bill does not advance．Finally，the agreed-upon bill is sent to the president．If the president signs it，the bill becomes a law．If the president does nothing and Congress is officially meeting，the bill becomes a law．But if the president does nothing and Congress is not in session，the bill does not pass．Or the president can officially reject the bill If that happens，the bill is not stopped ．Instead，it is returned to both the Senate and the House．If two-thirds of the senators and two-thirds of the House members approve the bill once again，even with the president objecting，they turn the bill into a law．5.Who is the first to propose a bill？______A.

If "tabled"，the bill has to be voted on．D. Once proposed，the bill can't be changed．CWe humans love to stare into our smart devices．We gaze for hours-about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day-at our computers，smartphones，tablets and televisions．Is all this staring bad for us？It might be，mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light．Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy．While it's true that light can damage our eyes under certaincircumstances，there's no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes．But many people still think it is，which is why blue light-blocking glasses are so popular．So do the glasses work？"Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye，but there's no evidence that it may be causing serious damage，" Dr．Rahul Khurana，clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmologists，told Business Insider．Blue light exposure is nothing new．In fact，the sun is the largest source of blue light．Moreover，blue light is also present in LED light．But if blue light isn't harmful，then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we're looking at our screens？The answer is eyestrain（眼疲劳）：More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain．And blue light，it seems，isn't the cause．Instead，our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices．So if eyestrain is the real issue，blue light-blocking glasses are probably of little use．8.What do we know about blue light？______A. It is a kind of nuclear radiation．B. It has the shortest wavelength．C. It may come from electronic devices．D. It consumes a great deal of energy．9.What causes the popularity of blue light-blocking glasses？______A. Evidence of their benefits to eyes．B. Belief in blue light's harmful effect．C. Widespread use of smart devices．D. Scientific understanding of blue light．10.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4？______A. Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable．B. Eye problems are not easy to deal with．C. Blue light may connect with tired eyes．D. Rubbing eyes makes people strained11.According to the text，wearing blue light-blocking glasses may be ______ ．A. tiringB. harmfulC. uselessD. BeneficialDCan I talk about salary at work？In a word：yes．As HR company lnsperity put it in a recent blog post：Can your employees discuss their salaries or wages with their co-workers？Yes．Even if you have a company policy against it？Yes．The freedom to discuss your salary at work is a protected right under federal labor law．The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 protects your right to discuss the conditIons of your employment，including issues related to safety and pay，even when you're not protected by a union．Talking about salary with colleagues can be uncomfortable，since there's such a taboo about discussing money matters，but it's an important step towards achieving equal pay for equal work．One barrier，however，stems from how we think of our own financial worth．Too many people I talk to wrongly consider their salary a reflection of thier worthiness，a statement about their skills，experience，or value．At the end of the day，if we can all separate our self-worth from our salaries a bit more，it'll become easier to talk frankly with our colleagues．Asking about money outright can be tough，so one trick I've picked up along the way is to ask for your colleagues to confirm or deny．For instance，you might volunteer your salary firstand ask "Does that sound about right to you？" by way of comparison．Or，let's say you're interviewing for a promotion to become a manager．You might ask a fellow manager about the kind of salary you should expect by saying，"I'm seeing salaries for this kind of position ranging from ﹩65，000 to ﹩70，000-does that seem accurate to you？" This way，even if your colleague isn't comfortable sharing their salary outright，they can help you identify if your expectations are on point or way off．12.What makes co-workers uncomfortable to talk about salaries？______A. The safety issue．B. The federal labor law．C. The wrong idea about salaries．D. The reflection of their worthiness．13.What does "taboo" underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to？______A. A prohibited practice．B. A religious belief．C. A general agreement．D. A social custom．14.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4？______A. One of my interview experiences．B. My way of asking about money．C. The method of raising questions．D. An example of getting promoted．15.What can be the best title for the text？______A. How to Discuss Salaries at WorkB. Ways of Talking about SalariesC. Do Salaries Stand for Self-worth？D. Can Salaries be Talked about at Work？二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）About one hundred years ago many educated people learned and spoke French when they met people from other counties．Today most．people speak English when they meet foreigners ．(1) There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language．Why is this？(2) One of them is that English has become the language of business．Another important reason is that popular American culture（like movies，music，and McDonald's ）has quickly spread throughout the world．(3)Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so' quickly？(4) It's important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common．Our world has become very global and we．need to communicate．with．one another．On the other hand，English is a fairly complicated language to learn and it brings its culture with it Do we really need that ？Scientists have already tried to create an artificial language that isn't too difficult and doesn't include any one group's culture．It is called Esperanto．(5) Maybe the popularity of English won't last that long either．Who knows？There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language．Maybe someday Chinese will be the new international language．A．People like English．B．But it hasn't become popular，C．It has brought its language with it．D．There is no doubt about the question．E．This is why English was widely spoken．F．It has become the new international language．G．There are many reasons why English has become so popular．16.

The next time we see these people, we remember them because we remember their faces. This seems like a simple process. However, scientists found that it is not such a simple process. The section of the brain that is responsible for face recognition seems to work differently for different people. Some people have great difficulty remembering and recognizing faces, while others almost never forget a face.Normal babies are born with a natural ability to recognize faces. In fact, their face recognition abilities are much better than their parents. Babies are most highly skilled at face recognition at six months. But by nine months, they lose this skill. By nine months, a baby’s face-recognition skills are about the same as an adult’s.Unfortunately, some people are not born with this ability to recognize faces. The part of the brain that is responsible for face recognition doesn’t work for them. This condition is called face blindness. People with very severe face blindness cannot even recognize their own faces. In fact, people with this condition can sometimes be frightened when they look in the mirror. They don’t recognize their own face, so for a second they are startled when they see this unfamiliar face.Face blindness is not always severe. Scientists believe up to 10 percent of the population may be affected by face blindness to some degree, yet many people with mild face blindness might not even know they have it. Theyhave no reason to know they are different from anyone else until someone points it out. This is similar to people with color1 blindness. Colorblind people can’t see the difference between certain color1 s such as red and green, until someone tells them that green and red are two different color1 s.There is no cure for face blindness. So for the time being, people with face blindness need to find simple techniques to compensate for their problem. They can try to recognize people by their hairstyle, their voice, or their glasses. Hopefully, in the future as scientists learn more about this condition, they may find a cure.4. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The way to improve one’s face-recognition skills.B. The simple process of the brain to recognize others’ faces.C. The fact that some people have face-recognition problems.D. The importance of face recognition in human communication.5. When do children have the best face-recognition skills?A. At birth.B. Half a year old.C. Nine months old.D. In adolescence.6. What does the underlined word “startled” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. Depressed.B. Confused.C. Embarrassed.D. Surprised.7. What does the author think of the problem of face blindness?A. People need to take it seriously.B. Certain techniques can make up for it.C. It will be cured in the near future.D. It has the same effect with color1 blindness.C"Sorry, but I don't agree with you..."This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears. I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone, because I don't want to lose a friend. I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego（自尊心）ishurt.Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response would be," If you aren't able to see my point of view, then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration, either." But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, "I don't agree with the way things are done." She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter.However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth. That's when need to listen to what she says.I've learned that one way to help my friend is for me to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully. While we can't control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love. We will never feel that we are better than the other person.And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective in the way we express our opinions.In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback（反馈）from others,knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions. Though I don't like being disagreed with, I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements.8.

山东省2020年新高考模拟济南一模试题（含答案及解析）英语第一部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题;每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AIf you want to learn why everything is usually cheaper, and what items are the best deals at your local or chain dollar or discount store, store employees have a lot of useful information. They tend to know what shoppers want — even before shoppers know themselves.Everyone buys unnecessary thingsWhether you shop at a chain dollar store such as Dollar Tree, Family Dollar or your local 99 cents store, not everything that’s on sale is necessarily worth purchasing. Bryan Waring, a former Dollar Tree employee, says that you’re not alone in buying more than necessary from these stores. “It seems basic, but everyone falls for this trap,” he says. “You go into a store where everything is cheap, and you walk out with things you don't need.” He suggests going into a store — yes, even the dollar store — with a checklist of things you truly need.Everything is cheaper after the holiday seasonPatricia, a seasonal worker at a Dollar Tree, says that the post-Christmas season means even more deals on everything from decorations to sweets. “After Christmas, all the gift wrap paper went to 50 cents, and all Christmas items were half price,” she says. “Even candy bars are 89 cents versus $ 1.”Products are less expensive because of their sizeIn order for dollar stores to keep their prices low, product sizes are usually smaller than normal, according to Cheapism. Dollar stores aren't the only ones guilty of this trick. Cheapism also reports Walmart is guilty of doing the same thing to attract customers.1. What is Bryan’s advice against buying unnecessary things?A. Making a purchase alone.B. Writing a to-buy list ahead.C. Shopping at your local store.D. Buying basic things separately.2. Which of the following is a better time for shopping according to Patricia?A. In the Christmas sales.B. At a particular discount.C. After the Christmas season.D. During some holiday seasons.3. How do stores make their products cheaper? A. By reducing product sizes. B. By lowering product costs.C. By adopting discount strategies.D. By attracting more customers.BIt was just a normal day for Ruth Miller, a 63-year-old woman until everything went horribly wrong. She was walking to her car after shopping when the unthinkable happened.Right as she was unlocking her car, a man quickly came up behind her and tried to wrestle her purse away. She was in shock. Luckily she remembered she had her Safe Personal Alarm (SPA) on her purse, and since she was too scared to scream for help, she quickly reached for the alarm and pulled the pin (保险栓). Immediately her SPA started just screaming. The man didn't know what to do! He froze for a second, and then ran away like a bat out of hell!SPA is a safety device capable of creating a 125db sound that attracts attention and scares away potential attackers. To compare, it's the same volume as a military jet during takeoff.Paul Davidson, the inventor of SPA, knows all too well the type of situation that Ruth found herself in. But that's not the only type of situation that SPA helps protect against. Parents can give it to their kids as an extra means of protection. Teenagers can use it so they can feel safe walking home. Women can know it's there when they have to use the parking lot at night. “My mother, who is 76 years old, carries it around in case she falls and needs to ask people for help. I only wish I'd have thought of it earlier,” said Paul.The police have been recommending SPA since it first hit the market. In fact, since its launch, SPA has been in a state, shifting between in stock to sold out nearly every other week, and it's also got tons of loyal followers worldwide.4. What does the underlined part “the unthinkable” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. An attempted robbery.B. A wrestling match.C. An angry argument.D. A car accident.5. How did Ruth react to the unexpected situation?A. She fought violently.B. She froze in great fear.C. She cried desperately for help.D. She sounded her safety device.6. Why does Paul mention his mother?A. To imply the elderly need more care.B. To suggest he cares about his mother.C. To show SPA can be widely used.D. To make an advertisement for SPA.7. What can be learned from the text?A. SPA is well received in the market.B. People hesitate to pay for security.1C. SPA was sold out in the first two weeks.D. SPA is not important in life.CLike clockwork, nearly every fourth February includes one extra day. February 29th, otherwise known as Leap Day, isn’t exactly a holiday. Instead, it’s there to keep your calendar consistent with the earth’s rotation (旋转) around the sun.According to History, com, Roman emperor Julius Caesar is the “father” of Leap Year. Until he came along, people used a 355-day calendar, which was 10.25 days shorter than the solar year. Roman officials were supposed add an extra month every now and then to keep the seasons exactly where they should be. But that didn’t work out all that well. When special o ccasions started shifting into different seasons around 45 BCE, Caesar consulted with astronomers and decreed (下令) that the empire should use a 12-month, 365-day calendar, which he named after himself, Caesar’s Julian calendar included a Leap Day every fou r years.Though Leap Day keeps your calendar in line with the earth’s rotation around the sun, it causes a different kind of problem for leapsters. When should these February 29th babies celebrate their birthdays during the other three-quarters of their lives? Some party on February 28th, while others prefer a two-day celebration that spans the last day of February and the first day of March.Leap Day can be a nuisance in the legal system. In 2006, a court in Massachusetts was deciding whether criminal John Melo could be released a day early since his 10-year sentence included a Leap Day. In the case, the judge decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for years, not days. Leap Day didn’t make a bit of difference.Though a few timekeepers have pushe d for calendars that don’t include Leap Day, almost all astronomers and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the calendar on track.8. Why was Leap Day created?A. To celebrate special occasions.B. To honor Emperor Julius Caesar.C. To keep pace with the solar year.D. To keep track of all the seasons.9. What is the problem with the birthday celebration of February 29th babies?A. It is sometimes delayed.B. It lasts at least two days.C. It has to be held every other year.D. It may take place on different dates.10. What does the underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Joke.B. Topic.C. Trouble.D. Mistake.11. what is the attitude of most astronomers towards Leap Day?A. Critical.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Cautious.DScientists have developed a new type of smart bandage (绷带) that can signal the type of bacterial (细菌的) infection it’s protecting, just like a traffic light, as well as release the right type of drugs on demand. The traffic light system works just like this: Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria, yellow means drug-sensitive (DS) bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics (抗生素) and causes antibiotic release, and red means drug-resistant (DR) bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out.In testing the bandage on mice, the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method. However, the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time, the requirement for professional personnel, and expensive instruments. Moreover, the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance.It’s easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations. Treatment doesn’t have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis, and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity. What’s more, the person wearing the bandage gets real-time feedback on what’s happening with the infection, if there’s an infection at all. The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light, including photodynamic therapy or PDT.We’ve been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years, thanks to advances in science — like the nanofiber mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out, speeding up the healing process. Then there’s the novel bandage for treating burns, which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection.The more work that a bandage can do while it’s protecting a wound, the better. Efforts to improve bandages continue and now we've got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics, but also tells the patient exactly what’s going on too.12. What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do?A. Avoid the use of antibiotics.B. Clear out harmful bacteria.C. Detect bacterial infections.D. Increase treatment options.13. What is the advantage of the smart bandage?A. It saves much time and cost.B. It removes the risk of infection.C. It prevents the bacterial resistance.D. It improves doctor-patient relationship.14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. Traditional bandages are out of use now.B. More smart bandages will be developed.2C.Progress in science calls for more research.D. People are urged to study medical science.15. What does the text focus on?A. A successful test on mice.B. A colour-changing bandage.C. Sensing drug-resistant bacteria.D. Preventing abuse of antibiotics.第二节（共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5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。

While modem markets are more popular, floating markets still are huge attractions for local tourism. In Bangkok Floating Markets,Thailand, one of the most popular ones, any visitors can buy local foods and traditional hand-made souvenirs.Bregenzer Festspiele（Opera festival）The Bregenz Festival is held every year from July to August inVorarlberg,Austria. It has the world's largest stage on the water. The performances are different every year but they are usually united by one theme. The decorations（装饰）are very impressive and are worth seeing.Viva, ArtificialIslandArtificial islands are not something new. What makes this island special is that . it is floating. Viva is the largest out of three man-made islands along with Vista and Tera, all situated inSeoul,South Korea. The island weighs 2,000-tons and is technically a buoy（浮标）.The island unfortunately is not carbon-neutral（碳中和）but it has solar panels which can generate electricity to power the hall, restaurants and shopping malls. MarinaBayFloating Platform StadiumThis stadium was built as a temporary solution while Singapore National Stadium was rebuilt. Now it is usedfor different sporting events, concerts, and festivals. In particular, it was once used for the opening and closing ceremonies during the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics.1. What can visitors do at Bangkok Floating Markets?A. Performing.B.Boating.C. Shopping.D. Swimming.2. What do you know about Viva?A. It is the biggest island inSouth Korea.B. It has the equipment to harness solar energy.C. It is the largest floating stage on the water.D. It is a man-made island only for low-carbon life.3. Which attraction should you choose to watch a basketball match?A. Bangkok Floating Markets.B. Bregenzer Festspiele.C. Viva, ArtificialIsland.D.MarinaBayFloating Platform Stadium.BWhen almost everyone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline（座机）?These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter（29%）rely only on their smartphones according to a survey（调查）. Of those Australians who still have a landline, a thirdconcedethat it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor （因素）— only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlinesnow and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor; I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup of your household.Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who iscalling before we pick up the phone（using Caller ID would take the fun out of it）.How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?4. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobilephones?A. Their target users.B. Their wide popularity.C. Their major functions.D. Their complex design.5. What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Admit.B. Argue.C. Remember.D. Remark.6. What can we say about Baby Boomers?A. They like smartphone games.B. They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.C. They keep using landline phones.D. They are attached to their family.7. What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?A. It remains a family necessity.B. Itwill fall out of use some day.C. It may increase daily expenses.D. It is as important as the gas light.CWhen you think of the icy Arctic Ocean, do you picture cold blue waters, on which float (漂浮) icebergs home to animals and fish not seen elsewhere on the planet? Think again, or rather add 300 billion pieces of plastic (塑料) to your picture. That's the amount of plastic that scientists believe is floating around the Arctic Ocean. Most of the plastic is in the area to the east of Greenland and north of Scandinavia.Where did it come from? After all, the lands near the Arctic are not really full of people. It turns out that ocean currents are carrying plastic thrown into the ocean all the way to the Arctic. An ocean current is an unending movement of sea water from one point to another. It is caused by several things including heat from the Sun, wind and movement of the Earth.Many of these plastic pieces seem to have travelled for years before reaching the Arctic. This was worked out by scientists studying the plastic problem after they observed the condition of the pieces. While much plastic floats on top of the water, a lot also may be on the sea floor.Plastic has been widely used for 60 years on Earth and our careless throwing of plastic things is slowly turning the once perfectly clean Arctic into a dangerous place. Unlike food waste and plant waste, plastic doesn't break down so easily. In fact the United States Environment Protection Organization reports that “every bit of plastic ever made still exists”.What's the effect? Seabirds, sea turtles and other ocean creatures could get hurt and die when they accidentallyswallowplastic. Plastic waste affects fishing, affecting people who earn money through fishing. Plastics can let out dangerous poisons (毒物) into the water. These may be swallowed by fish, and when these fish are caught and eaten by people or bigger animals, they could get poisoned too!8. What can we learn from the passage?A. The Arctic Ocean is heavily polluted.B. The plastic is mostlyin the area in the east of Greenland.C. An ocean current is just caused by the movement of the earth.D. Much more plastic floats on top of the water.9. Which of the following doesn't contribute to the plastic ocean?A. Humans throw away plastic things at will.B. Ocean currents carry plastic things everywhere.C. Plastic can let out harmful things into the water.D. Plastic is hard to break down.10. What does the underlined word “swallow” in the last Paragraph mean?A. Break down.B. Take in.C. Accept.D. Touch.11. What's the best title of the text?A. Are Men to Blame for Plastic Ocean?B. Arctic Ocean and Its Future!C. Is Plastic Harmful?D. Arctic Ocean or Plastic Ocean?DI was at the hardware store the other day and overheard a woman tell Ed., the manager, that fall was her favorite time of year. Ed., because he liked to keep his customers happy, agreed that fall was a wonderful season, but I could tell he was lying.I was going through my mind recently, trying to find sweet memories of fall. I failed. I met my wife in the summer and married her two summers later. My sons were born in the winter and summer, my granddaughter in the winter. I’ve been fried twice in my life, both in fall. One October, a truck carrying tofu ran a red light and hit me, destroying my favorite car, combining the three things I most hate - trucks, tofu and October.I'm not saying fall is without its attractions. The leavesare beautiful. But fall's vacillation (立场摇摆)is troubling, its effort (努力)to please everyone, its continuous search for the middle ground to be all things to all people. Say what you will about summer and winter, at least they have the courage to keep their opinions strong, even if they kill us with extreme heat or cold.I recently read a story of a man coming out of a three-month coma (昏迷). It started in early fall and ended just as winter came. I hope if I were ever in a coma I would be just as lucky as the man.Upon my awakening, one of my families who stood around my bed would ask. "Don't you remember anything from the past three months?""Not the first thing," I would happily report.If I ever have enough money. I'm going to buy a second home inAustralia, so that when fall starts here, I can move there for three months, just when spring is starting.12. What did Ed think of the customers words according to the author?A. Ed understood them and supported the customer completely.B. Ed might hold a different opinion on the topic.C. Ed believed the customer wasn't telling the truth.D. Ed thought they stood for most peoples' opinion.13. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A.The author has a big and loving family.B. The author is having a hard time at work.C. It is important to follow the rules of the road.D. Nothing good has happened to the author in fall.14. Why does the author say the man in Paragraph 4 was lucky?A. Because he slept fall away.B. Because he ho sweet memories of fall.C. Because hedreamed of fill many times.D. Because he was met by his family when waking up.15. Which of the following does the author most want to do?A. Drivetracks.B. Eat tofu dishes.C. Watch leaves falling in fall.D. Move toAustraliain October.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。

more care．B．To suggest he cares about his mother．C．To show SPA can be widely used．D．To make an advertisement for SPA．（4）What can be learned from the text？A．SPA is well received in the market．B．People hesitate to pay for security．C．SPA was sold out in the first two weeks．3．（10分）Like clockwork，nearly every fourth February includes one extra day．February 29th，otherwise known as Leap Day，isn't exactly a holiday．Instead，it's there to keep your calendar consistent with the earth's rotation（旋转）around the sun．According to History，com，Roman emperor Julius Caesar is the "father" of Leap Year．Until he came along，people used a 355﹣day calendar，which was 10.25 days shorter than the solar year．Roman officials were supposed add an extra month every now and then to keep the seasons exactly where they should be．But that didn't work out all that well．When special occasions started shifting into different seasons around 45 BCE，Caesar consulted with astronomers and decreed（下令）that the empire should use a 12﹣month，365﹣day calendar，which he named after himself，Caesar's Julian calendar included a Leap Day everyThough Leap Day keeps your calendar in line with the earth's rotation around the sun，it causes a different kind of problem for leapsters．When should these February 29th babies celebrate their birthdays during the other three﹣quarters of their lives？Some party on February 28th，while others prefer a two﹣day celebration that spans the last day of February and the first day of March．Leap Day can be a nuisance in the legal system．In 2006，a court in Massachusetts was deciding whether criminal John Melo could be released a day early since his 10﹣year sentence included a Leap Day．In the case，the judge decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for years，not days．Leap Day didn't make a bit of difference．Though a few timekeepers have pushed for calendars that don't include Leap Day，almost all astronomers and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the calendar on track．（1）Why was Leap Day created？A．To celebrate special occasions．B．To honor Emperor Julius Caesar．C．To keep pace with the solar year．D．To keep track of all the seasons．（2）What is the problem with the birthday celebration of February 29th babies？A．It is sometimes delayed．B．It lasts at least two days．C．It has to be held every other year．D．It may take place on different dates．（3）What does the underlined word "nuisance" in Paragraph 4 mean？A．Joke．B．Topic．C．Trouble．D．Mistake．（4）what is the attitude of most astronomers towards Leap Day？B．Supportive．C．Doubtful．D．Cautious．4．（10分）Scientists have developed a new type of smart bandage（绷带）that can signal the type of bacterial（细菌的）infection it's protecting，just like a traffic light，as well as release the right type of drugs on demand．The traffic light system works just like this：Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria，yellow means drug﹣sensitive （DS）bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics（抗生素）and causes antibiotic release，and red means drug ﹣resistant （DR）bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out．In testing the bandage on mice，the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method．However，the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time，the requirement for professional personnel，and expensive instruments．Moreover，the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance．It's easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations．Treatment doesn't have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis，and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity．What's more，the person wearing the bandage gets real﹣time feedback on what's happening with the infection，if there's an infection at all．The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light，including photodynamic therapy or PDT．We've been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years，thanks to advances in science﹣like the nanofibre mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out，speeding up the healing process．Then there's the novel bandage for treating burns，which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection．The more work that a bandage can do while it's protecting a wound，the better．Efforts to improve bandages continue and now we've got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics，but also tells the patient exactly what's going on too．（1）What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do？A．Avoid the use of antibiotics．B．Clear out harmful bacteria．C．Detect bacterial infections．D．Increase treatment options．（2）What is the advantage of the smart bandage？A．It saves much time and cost．B．It removes the risk of infection．C．It prevents the bacterial resistance．D．It improves doctor﹣patient relationship．（3）What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs？A．Traditional bandages are out of use now．B．More smart bandages will be developed．C．Progress in science calls for more research．D．People are urged to study medical science．（4）What does the text focus on？A．A successful test on mice．B．A colour﹣changing bandage．C．Sensing drug﹣resistant bacteria．D．Preventing abuse of antibiotics．第二节（共1小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5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．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（12.5分）Handwriting is quickly becoming a dying art．Few businesses can run nowadays without computers．（1）Researchers from Princeton University conducted a study to demonstrate the differences between students who wrote out their notes and those who typed notes on a lecture．（2）Participants were tested on the material 30 minutes after the lecture and again a week later．And handwriting emerged as the champion．（3）The typers had a significant edge when it came to note﹣taking efficiency．The typers could copy down significantly many more words than the writers，sometimes even transcribing the contents of the lecture word﹣for﹣word．But while more of the lecture's content was retained（保留）on paper when typing，itwasn't necessarily retained in participants，heads．（4）On the test 30 minutes after the lecture，typers and writers did more or less equally well on questions about the basic facts of the lecture，but typers fell behind when it came to more conceptual questions．As for the later quiz，the results were similar．Students with handwritten notes were able to remember and still understand the concepts of the lecture after a week had passed．These participants were also more open to understanding new ideas．（5）A．The tests that the participants took proved this．B．The efficiency of handwriting might best benefit you．C．That's not to say that typing doesn't have its benefits．D．In this study，the laptops were only used to take notes．E．Generally speaking，typing also has its own disadvantages．F．But what are we losing as handwriting loses its significance in society？G．Clearly，writing by hand is one of the things that can make you smarter．第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分15分）第一节（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6．（15分）As

AIn what can only be described as a heroic act，a golden retriever managed to save his owner’s life by lying on top of him for almost 24 hours to keep him from freezing to death after slipping on ice and breaking his neck.On New Year's Eve，64-year-old Bob，who chose not to reveal his last name for privacy reasons，of Petoskey，Michigan，was watching a football game between Clemson and Ohio State．It was around 10：30 p．m．when he decided to go outside and fetch some more wood for his fireplace wearing only long underpants，slippers and a shirt．He had taken the short，15-foot walk to the firewood shed thousands oftimes before，but this time his poor choice of footwear made him slip，and the fall left him unable to move．“I was Screaming for help，but my nearest neighbor is about a quarter-mile away and it was 10：30 p．m.，but my elsey came，”Bob recalls．“By morning my voice was gone and I couldn’t yell for help，but elsey didn’t stop barking．She kept barking for help，but never left my side．She kept me warm and alert．I knew I had to hold on through this and that was my choice to stay alive．”21．Who saved Bob’s life?A．His friend．B．His neighbor．C．His son．D．His dog．22．What was the reason for Bob’s slipping?A．He seldom went out at night．B．He didn’t wear proper shoes．C．It was too dark to see clearly．D．The weather was freezing cold．23．What can be learned about Bob from the story?A．He was shy in public．B．He liked playing football．C．He lived all by himself．D．He got on well with neighbors．BSeven years ago，back in 2010，some reports covered a story that the world’s longest railway tunnel was under construction in Switzerland．At that point it had already been under construction for over a decade．It had been voted to be built nearly a quarter of a century ago!The idea to build it could date back to nearly 70 years ago—about as old as some of your grandparents!Yesterday，it was finally ready!It’s 35 miles long and runs 7，5 00 feet beneath the Swiss Alps，a famous mountain range in Switzerland．It even runs under an old tunnel that was there before．It took a total of 17 years to build at a cost of $12 billion 128 million tons of rock were dug．Two million truckloads of earth were removed!The tunnel connects northern and southern Europe．The opening of this tunnel was such a big deal that the Germany’s leader，Chancellor Angela Merkel，France’s president，Francois Hollande，and Italy’s prime minister，Matteo Renzi，were all there to celebrate，as was Austria’s chancellor Christian ern．It’s called the Gotthard Base Tunnel．Eventually，325 freight and passenger trains will go through the tunnel，relieving a lot of traffic on the roadways there and making it a more environmentally friendly option．The Gotthard Base Tunnel is a wonder of engineering!Make us want to visit it!24．When did people first have the idea of building the Tunnel?A．About 70 years ago．B．Half a century ago．C．Twenty five years ago．D．Seven years ago．25．What can we learn about the Tunnel?A．It used to be an old tunnel．B．It has just been completed．C．It connects all European countries．D．It runs over a range of mountains．26．What may be the purpose of building the Tunnel?A．To improve traffic．B．To increase employment．C．To attract donation．D．To stop pollution．27．What can be inferred about the Tunnel?A．It will cause conflicts among countries．B．It will be of little benefit to the locals．C．It may do damage to the environment．D．It may become a tourist attraction．CA European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time．It uses three dimensional(3-D)printing to re-create famous paintings so they can be touched．One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav limt’s“The iss．”It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna，Austria．The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers．They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other．The man leans down to kiss the woman．limt finished the painting in 1908．Until now，people who had trouble seeing could notappreciate the artwork．But thanks to the reproduction they can touch the piece and feel the ridges and depressions．Andreas Reichinger started making 3-D versions of artwork in 2010．He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple’s robes are so detailed．Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor．She touched the reproduction．As she moved her hands around it she said，“Exactly，can you see these?There are so many details．”Raditsch said she can imagine what the original
