2019-2020年高三12月月考英语试题 含答案

2019-2020年高三12月月考英语试题含答案II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: Read the following two passages. Fill in the blanks to make the passagecoherent. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper formof the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word.Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.You may think that mom-and-pop stores are gradually dying out, giving way to chainstores and big business,(21) you would be wrong. The online shoppingplatform Taobao is a game changer and(22) (revolutionize) the way we buyand sell.Taobao, or “treasure hunt”, recently became the largest e-merce website in termsof traffic, surpassing Amazon. It has 190 million (23) (register) users andserves (24) (big)marketplace in the world. Half of China’s Internet users goto Taobao, either to browse, buy or sell, according to Web information pany Alexa.(25) Taobao borrowed its original business model from eBay when itstarted up in xx, the student soon became the master. Just three years later, eBayshut down its site and now Taobao controls about 80 percent of the country’s onlineshopping market.It charges almost (26) to list items for sale and makes most of its moneyfrom advertising. It also plans to share transaction data with its users so they cancash it on buying trends. This allows anyone with an idea and a puter to start a viablebusiness, doing away (27) the need for significant start-up capital. (28) opening up a store on the high street selling to passersby, the world is every Taobaouser’s oyster.A friend of mine is a typical. She opened up a store selling children’s clothingnear Nuren Jie, (29) was a popular market in Beijing. It was not a greatsuccess but her online sales through Taobao went ballistic. She closed the store andis now e-merce only.Effectively, taobao has bee the country’s high street, but with global reach.(30)China is the worl d’s manufacturing base, it is relatively easy for individuals to source cheap goods and sell at a reasonable markup. Micro-stores are opening in their thousands everyday and delivering an amazing variety of goods.but;has revolutionized; registered; the biggest; Although; nothing; with; Insteadof; which; AsSection BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word canbe used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The movie ”Jurassic Park” shown sometime this year took cinema lovers by stormand since then, there has been a revived interest in dinosaurs. Numerous articleshave been written and intensive research has been conducted on dinosaurs.Scientists believe that dinosaurs came into existence about 180,000,000 yearsago, but have been extinct for several millions of years, and to-date, only reconstructed fossil (31) serve as tangible(实际的) proof that dinosaurs didexist on earth at one time.Dinosaurs were actually reptiles, a separate class of animals with the following (32) ;they are cold-blooded; they can live on land; they have a (33) typeof heart and most of them have scales.The first reptiles appeared long before the dinosaurs (34) big lizards and (35) short tails, thick legs and big heads. They subsisted mainly on plants.The first dinosaurs resembled their reptile (36) ,but they could walk on theirhind legs. Some kinds remained small, but in the course of time, others grew to (37) sizes and lengths, ranging from 8 to 20 feet and weighing more than an elephant. Therewas a giant dinosaur, known as Brontosaurus, measuring70-80 feet long and weighing38 tons. Another(38) kind, called Allesaurus, could walk about on land, and (39) on the Brontosaurus and other plant-eating reptiles, with its sharp teeth and powerfulclaws.Today, dinosaurs are only found in books, pictures and in motion pictures. With the remarkably widespread interest in dinosaurs, people bee agog in asking this question: Why did the giant creatures bee extinct? Many scientists offer one conjecture(猜测) that they disappeared because of the changes in the climate of the earth, which deprived them of the places to live in and feed. Other experts have recently e up with the theory that giant meteors (40) upon the earth and destroyed the dinosaurs in an instant. Many more theories may be put forward by experts, but still, no one had a conclusive and definite answer to the puzzle.HFACI DKBEGIII. Reading prehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The most obvious benefit of a single currency is that it will no longer be necessary to incur(引起)the costs of exchange from one currency to another. Travelers know that these costs are not negligible. First of all, there is a mission (41) (usually a fixed amount); secondly, the price (42) which the traveler purchases foreign currency for domestic currency (43) from the price of exchanging back surplus (过剩)foreign currency. The removal of these transaction costs constitutes a gain from monetary union.Another benefit is that removal of exchange rate (44) between the countries of the EU would provide much more assurance to (45) location decisions. At present, a pany takes (46) of the risk of exchange rate variation in its location decision, and this may lead it to scatter its plants across the various economies to hedge against(防范)the risk of exchange rate variation. Removing this source of uncertainty allows investors to (47) according to economies of scale and may lead to more plants of (48) size, a reduction in unit cost of production, and increase in (49) .A single currency provides the (50) for counter-inflationary(反通胀)policies.A single currency could lead to a (51) in the market discrimination that currently exists in the EU(for example, prices of motor cars of the (52) specification(规格) stand higher in the UK than they do in France) as the quotation(报价) of prices in mon currency discourages arbitrage(套利)activity and reduces the market division(53) which such discrimination relies.(54) , firms in one country cannot continue to (55) their prices higher than their European petitorsand still remain petitive.41.A. money B. sum C. tip D. charge42.A. on B. at C. in D. over43.A. different B. infers C. differs D. variable44.A. float B. contrast C. difference D. variation45.A. appropriate B. cooperative C. corporate D.reasonable46.A. account B. count C. mind D. range47.A. decide B. locate C. choose D. invest48.A. largest B. maximum C. medium D. optimum49.A. effect B. effectiveness C. deficiency D. efficiency50.A. shade B. firework C. framework D. door51.A. rise B. reduction C. revival D. cause52.A. same B. different C. similar D. excessive53.A. in B. on C. over D. at54.A. While B. Thus C. However D. Although55.A. rise B. arise C. raise D. setDBCDC ABDDC BABBCSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given inthe passage you have just read.(A)The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, bee "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don't fit the pattern are being more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of remendation in the intense petition for admission to graduate school. Other find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the pletion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—may it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.56.what do stiletto heels refer to according to the passage?, ___.A.Heels most appropriate for catwalks.B.shoes that fit retail sector workers best.C.heels with the limit of an inch.D.very high heels that women wear.57.why did the Trade Union leaders propose to ban stiletto heels from the workplace?A.they believed that these shoes are harmful to women workers’ health.B.they maintained that women should decide what to wear at work.C.they thought these shoes give women excuse to ask for a sick leave.D.they didn’t want to work in the place that looks like Hollywood.58.Nadine Dorries disapproved the motion because she felt that the extra height of the heels_____A.improved her vision.B.boosted her confidence.C.helped people to find her.D.made her more in control of her life.59.How does Michelle Dewberry see the motion?.A.It should be supported for the sake of women’s health.B.The union officials shouldn’t have debates o n any motions.C.It’s unnecessary and women have right to decide what to wear.D.The union leaders should decide on the tightness of ties instead.DABC(B)Noad was a tall, handsome 23-year-old Balinese man who was in love with one girlbut expected to marry another. His stepmother had arranged everything- he would wed a distant relation and bring the two families closer together. Noad had two choices. He would either marry the girl he did not love, or he could go against the wishes of parents and be expelled from his village. Actually he had another choice, one which none of his family foresaw. One day his friends found him slumped in a ma on hes bed after he had consumed two litres of a powerful insecticide.For more than 60 years the tropical Indonesian island of Bali has been portrayed to the outside world as a heavenly paradise where a strong culture and sense of munity protect its inhabitants from the rigors of the modern world. It is an image supported by many millions of dollars from the international hotel munity which provides luxury acmodation and facilities for nearly a million foreign visitors now travelling annually to the holiday island.Yet behind the marketing hype lies another story- one which exist in stark contrast to the s un, sand and sea”dream”. The truth is that the lives of Bali’s 2.7 million local inhabitants are often marked by poverty, suffering and family conflict. Ketut is a 22-year-old maid who works part-time for an expatriate resident in Ubud, in the centre of the island. Her husband works as a driver for a white-water rafting pany which provides day trips to tourists.”sometimes i have no money for my baby because my husband gambles all his wages.” the husband’s father, unfamiliar with western support system, bats his son’s behavior by calling in the dukun, a spiritual” healer”who makes offerings to the bad spirits at play in his mind.60. You would expect to find this passage in______ ?A. A newspaperB. An advertisementC.a travel brochureD.a book61. It can be inferred from the paragraph 1 that the third choice that Noad’s family failed to foresee is that____.A. He fell into sleepB. He went against their wishes and left homeC. He mited suicideD. He started to take drugs62.In paragraph 2 it refers to______A. Strong culture.B. Sense of munity.C. Heavenly paradise.D. The modern world.BCC(C)Most people dont leave their front door unlocked, and the same is true of their home Wi-Fi networks. But some believe that preventing access to your wireless Internet actually does more harm than good. Peter Eckersley of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organisation devoted to defending digital rights, is calling for an "Open Wireless Movement" and encouraging people to be "socially responsible" by sharing their connection. Eckersley pares the current situation of locked-down networks to "finding yourself parched(干透的)and thirsty while everyone around you is sipping from nice tall glasses of iced water", and offers a technological solution. We restrict access to our networks for two reasons: to prevent other people from using up our bandwidth, and to ensure our security and privacy. He suggests we can still protect ourselves from both problems by using routers(路由器)that share a certain amount of bandwidth in the open while also providing an encrypted(加密的)connection for personal use, but such technology already exists, and people arent choosing to use it. Perhaps the problem is not technological, but legal, as home users dont want to be responsible for the activities of others on their network. Quite understandable, really. But Eckersley says that "individuals can enjoy the same legal protections against liability as any other Internet access provider", but the law is far from clear in this area and differs from country to country. In a footnote on his article, Eckersley says US law "may" offer protection, but that didnt prevent a man who left his network open from being called a paedophile(恋童癖者)by armed police in his livingroom this past weekend. Courts in Germany have previously ruled that people can be fined if they allow unauthorised users to access illegal materials through their connection, while in the UK disputes over recent changes to the law leave the matter uncertain. Perhaps these legal concerns can be overe by turning to an unlikely role-model —Estonia, where access to the Internet is a legal human right. The country is blanketed in a network of free Wi-Fi access points in cafes, bars and other public locations, allowing people to easily get online almost anywhere. So who wants to open up their network first?63 What does the author say about the Electronic Frontier Foundation?A.It encourages people to share their networks.B.Its work is about protecting digital rights.C.It is advocating an "Open Wireless Movement".D.Its main business is trading electronics.64. One reason leading most people to lock their network is________A. Laws protect home users of internet from responsibilities.B. Internet access provides take no responsibility for their users’ illegal activitiesC. Home users enjoy the same right as internet access providers.D. It is internet access providers who should be responsible for their user’s activities.65. What can be inferred from Eckersl ey’s words individual......internet access provider in para4_________.A. Laws protects home users of internet from responsibilitiesB. Internet access providers take no responsibility for their for their user’s illegal activities.C. Home users enjoy the same rights as internet access providersD it is internet access providers who should be responsible for their user’sactivities.66. What information can be got about Estonia from the passage? .A.It restricts free access to internetB. Free Wi-Fi is set up all over the countryC. It is impossible for other countries to follow its suitD its people can get free Wi-Fi access almost everywhere.BCBDSection DDirections: Read the following passage and fill in each blank with the sentence that best fits the context. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.Second Life is an online imaginary world where a puter user can create a new self and experience a separate life. Second Life is similar to other popular "massively multiplayer online role-playing games." The pany Linden Lab of San Francisco, California created Second Life in two thousand three.____67____Then he or she creates an electronic image, or animated character, called an avatar. Some people try to make their avatar look as close to their real self as possible. Other people change their sex or bee an imaginary creature as their Second Life avatar.Once you have your avatar you bee a "resident" of Second Life. ____68____Your avatar also can make friends with other Second Life avatars. Residents can go to school, own a business, even get married. But, there are also activities in Second Life that are impossible in the real world. For example, if you do not feel like walking to that park near your Second Life home, why not fly?____69____But it costs money to get other accounts and to buy land. The virtual world has its own currency, the Linden dollar. You use these to buy virtual clothes, property, entertainment and many other things. You can earn Linden dollars by working at a job. That unreal money has a real life value. About two hundred fifty Linden dollars are worth one American dollar.Second Life is popular among schools and businesses.Many universities have set up campuses on the Web site. Many kinds of stores can also be found there. And, entertainers sometimes perform live on Second Life with their Second Life avatars.____70____It is said that the total number of residents is more than thirteen million from more than one hundred countries.BCDFIV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.It’s a joy to be youngA noted American psychologist once remarked that childhood is a magical period in one’s life.Indeed it is, for during childhood, one undergoes a step-by-step transformation not only in mental capacity, but also in physical and verbal skills.Each step signals an increase in the difficulty of a child’s conceptual and learning abilities.During the early stages of childhood, from infancy to about five, the child learns simple skills including using the toilet, bathing and dressing himself independently.At this stage, he also learns to be very observant, curious, imaginative and creative.His ability to remember things also leaps at this stage. He remembers details that an adult may have difficulty in remembering.Gradually , he learns elementary skills in problem-solving.As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the plexities of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates.He also learns to experiment with new life situations, including dates and part-time work.Given a tight schedule of schoolwork, the child learns to prepare his own schedules of work and play.Some youngsters look at life pessimistically. They plain that it is a tragedy to be young because they are faced with what they consider insumountable(无法克服的)problems and pressures at home and school, let alone with the opposite sex. Given that, however, children’s pressures pale in prison with the adults’. It is truethat studying can be burdensome at times, but at least children do not have the same pressure and burden that adults feel-the burden of working to make endsmeet and give the children a decent and fortable life.It is an inescapable truth that childhood is a happy stage- a time of sheer joy, innocence and freedom from the plexities and challenges of the adult world.第II卷(共40分)I.

AAs a nation of animal lovers, Britain has been rocked by a study that at least ten million pets suffer mental or physical stress.Two million dogs are left alone daily for longer than recommended and 750,000 rabbits are fed too little grass, at least three million dogs and cats have never been vaccinated(接种疫苗), the research indicates. Shocked animal welfare campaigners are calling on owners to give their pets urgent attention.A spokesman for animal charity said, “We know that owners love their pets, but many do not understand what their pets need.”The charity’s survey is the first to measure the well-being of Britain’s 12 million cats, eight million dogs and 1.7 million pet rabbits. It found that five million cats, four million dogs and more than 700000 rabbits would be suffering mental or physical stress because their owners do not look after them properly. About 2.4 million dogs are mainly fed on leftovers, rather than nutritionally balanced dog food.About 1.9 million dogs are left alone each day for more than four hours, even though vets say four hours should be the maximum. Around 15 percent of owners believe it is acceptable to leave a dog for eight hours without attention while four per cent say dogs can be abandoned for more than ten hours without suffering.The survey also revealed the Britain’s cats are overfed, with more than half of ownersadmitting their cats are overweight. Rabbits are also neglected. In the wild they live in large groups, but 67 percent of pet rabbits live on their own, which creates the risk of boredom and stress.Another spokesman said, “Our report reveals that there is much work to do to raise awareness of what pets need to live healthy and happy lives.”21. The author has written this article to______.A. explain what pets should eat to keep healthyB. show the present physical and mental situation of petsC. tell readers what is a good happy life for petsD. call on people to take good care of their pets22. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the text?A. Dogs should be left alone for more than eight hours without suffering.B. About 2.4 million dogs are fed on nutritionally balanced dog food.C. Pet rabbits living together creates the risk of boredom and stress.D. More than half of cats in Britain are overfed and overweight.23. You can read this article in a _______.A. health magazineB. Biology textbookC. newspaper advertisementD. book reviewBA head teacher at a primary in Glasgow of Scotland has received a pressing request from a parent. Would it be possible,on the last day of the summer term, to separate the playing field so that a helicopter can land?It is for an 11-year-old pupil whose parents want to do something special to mark their last day at the school. They have spent $500 on a helicopter so that their child can make what they believe is a fitting arrival for the school prom(舞会).$250-an-hour stretch limousines(加长豪华车)are being hired out at such a rate that most firms are fully-booked for Friday, July 23, the day on which most primary schools break up. The trend to celebrate the end of primary school in such an ostentatious(铺张的)way is new to us. After all, it’s only in the past five years that the high school prom, imported from the US and intended for 16-year-olds, has become popular in this country.In the past days, the end of primary school would have been marked with an autograph bookor T-shirt that friends could sign their names and messages. So what has changed? It is the children’s expectations. They see their older brothers and sisters celebrate in a certain way and want to do the same.Instead of telling them to wait until they are old enough, parents are only too easily persuaded that their children’s wishes should be honored. “More and more parents work, so I think there is a whole generation of parents who are feeling guilty about their children,”says Professor Cary Cooper, a psychologist at Lancaster University. “Because they spend too less time with their children, they tend to satisfy their demands far more than they would have done 20 years ago.”Thankfully, Mearns Primary in Newton Mearns turned down the parents’ request. But in a few years’ time, who knows the ways that things are going?24. The text is mainly about _____.A. the various ways to celebrate the end of primary schoolB. the bad trend in celebrating the end of primary schoolC. the most exciting moment at the end of primary schoolD. the gifts parents prepare for their children’s graduation25. What does the author think of this trend in the primary school?A. She thinks very lowly of it.B. She supports it very much.C. She shows no interest in it.D. She thinks it is worth a try.26. Which of the following is NOT true about the school prom?A. It was introduced from the US.B. It is mainly intended for 16-year-old students.C. It is usually held at the end of the school year.D. It became popular in the US two years ago.27. We can infer from the text that_____.A. parents work harder than before to make up for feeling guilty about their childrenB. parents tended to satisfy more of their children’s demands 20 years agoC. students often succeed in persuading their parents to satisfy their demandsD. parents tell their children to celebrate their graduation until they are old enoughCAt times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example,when Iwas 12,I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico,to always put on sunscreen,not to wander away from my grandmother,and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.But despite her worries,she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens,she continued to give me space to grow and learn,even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year,I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers:While many of them wanted to stay close to home,I couldn’t wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away,she was supportive and excited for me.One big thing I realized during my senior year,as my mom granted me more freedom,was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life,and especially when I was little,the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards: getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to h ave all A’s.I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important,like education,and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life .Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.28. When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico,his mother________.A.wanted to go with him B.worried about his safetyC.didn’t allow him to do so D.asked his grandmother for advice29. Why did the author decide to move away for college?A.He wanted to be different from his peers.B.He planned to keep away from his mother.C.He wanted to be independent in the outside world.D.He intended to make his mother unhappy.30. We can learn f rom Paragraph 3 that the author’s mother________.A.was too strict with him B.cared little about his learningC.used to expect nothing from him D.had a high expectation of him31. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the text?A.His mother’s deep love for him B.His long way to become independentC.His good relationship with his mother D.The importance of his mother’s trust and supportDThe Fourth "21th Century Cup" National English Speaking Competition is to be held in Shanghai.Organizers: China Daily and Shanghai Broadcasting Network.Co-ordinater: China University English Speaking Association (CUESA).Co-sponsors (联办单位): English Speaking Union (ESU), Lotus Software (China)Co.

AA young man returns to his hometown of Aracataca, Colombia. He visits the house where he lived as a child. Here, he remembers the most important memories of his childhood. Standing in front of his old house, the young man makes an important decision. He says to himself, “I will startmy life over again. I will become a writer.”This man is the world famous writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.Gabriel Garcia Marquez was born on March 6, 1928. During his early life, Garcia Marquez’s grandmother and grandfather told him many stories. His grandmother would tell him legends as if they were real. Garcia Marquez says t hat his grandmother’s way of storytelling later influenced his own methods.When Garcia Marquez was about 20 years old, he left Aracataca and attended university in Bogota. He began studying law because this was what his father wanted him to study. However, Garcia Marquez was not happy.During this time Garcia Marquez returned to Aracataca. It was on this visit that he realized he must stop studying law. And he recognized that he must return to the dream of his childhood--------writing. For the next few years, Garcia Marquez wrote for many different newspapers. And in 1955, he published his first book called Leaf Storm.For many years, Garcia Marquez knew he wanted to write about his grandfather’s house in Aracataca. To write this book, Garcia Marquez and his wife had to sell almost all of their possessions to survive. But their act was worth it. The book, One Hundred Years of Solitude was immediately successful. And this book created a path for Garcia Marquez’s future success.In 1982, Gabriel Garcia Marquez was given the Nobel Prize in Literature for his book One Hundred Years of Solitude, making him the first Colombian and the fourth Latin American to win a Nobel Prize in Literature.21.Who influenced Garcia Marquez’s writing style?A.His grandfather.B.

It turned out to be a young Emperor penguin that was lost. At his age, he should have been close to Antarctic, swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes(浮冰). But this penguin started swimming north and just kept going.The penguin attracted a lot of attention in New Zealand. It has been 40 years since an Emperor penguin was last seen there. Researchers at the Department of Conservation were called in. They decided to watch the penguin closely, but not to disturb it in any way. Many New Zealanders came to Peka Peka Beach to look at the elegant penguin. They were careful to keep their dogs away from it so it wouldn’t be frightened.The public nicknamed the animal Happy Feet. Researchers started to notice that Happy Feet didn’t seem well. It turns out that he had been eating the sand from the beach, likely thinking it was snow.The public raised more than 11,000 pounds for an operation to get the sand out of his stomach. The operation was a success, and Happy Feet was taken to a zoo in Wellington, N.Z. A group of experts met to decide how to help Happy Feet return to the wild.Last Sunday, they put him on a boat called the Tangaroa, in a specially built ice-filled box and took him out into the Southern Ocean, southeast of New Zealand. There, they released him into the ocean, which is his natural habitat. He took one last look at his human helpers and then dived into the ocean.“Emperor penguins spend their first five years at sea,” said Peter Simpson of New Zealand’s Department of Conservation. “What happens now is up to the penguin.”Happy Feet was fitted with a satellite transmitter (发射机) so they can monitor his progress using the Internet. So far, the trackers show that he swam northeast for a little while before getting his bearings and heading south.25.Where is the young penguin supposed to appear?A.Near the Antarctic.B. On the sunny beach.C. Inside the hole in the ice.D. In the depths of the ocean.26.The public collected some money to _____.A.build a home for the penguinB. get the sand out of the penguin’s bellyC. do some research on the penguinD. return the penguin to his habitat27.What does Peter Simpson mean by saying “What happens now is up to the penguin.”?A.The penguin needs no protection from human.B.Human beings can do nothing to help penguins.C.No one knows what will happen to the penguins.D.Whether the penguin can survive depends on himself.CI teach geography at UNLV three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. The young man then asked me why I always seemed to be so cheerful. “I choose to be cheerful,” I said. Then I told them a story.In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died and wouldn’t start again. So I left my car there and marched down the road to the college.As soon as I got there I called AAA(美国汽车协会) and arranged for a tow truck(拖车) to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the office asked me what had happened. “This is my lucky day,” I replied, smiling.“Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?” She was puzzled. “What do you mean?”“My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway but it didn’t.” I replied. “Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance from here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.” The secretary’s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class. So ended my story.I scanned the sixty faces in my class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my s tory had touched them. Or maybe it wasn’t the story at all. In fact, it had all started with a student’s observation that I was cheerful. An Indian wise man once said, “Who you are speaks louder to me than anything you can say.” I suppose it must be so.28.Why did the author tell his students the story?A.To share his lucky experience.B. To make his class more lively.C. To draw all students’ attention.D. To encourage his students to be positive.29.What happened to the author on his way to the community college?A.He covered the last quarter mile on foot.B.He called AAA for a tow truck to meet him.C.He parked his car in a perfect place.D.He drove off the freeway at a wrong exit.30.By saying “it wasn’t the story at all”, the author means that ________.A.his story is not convincingB.he shouldn’t have told the storyC.his attitude to life has inspired the studentsD.his story is not as interesting as expected31.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Easier said than done.B.You are what you choose.C. Behind bad luck comes good luck.D. A good beginning makes a good ending.D"Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and feltthe rush of energy as waves came over you?" asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh. "There is certainly a lot of energy in waves," he said.Scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity. Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. "The wind starts out by making little ripples (涟漪), but if they keep on blowing, thoseripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves," Taylor said." Waves are one of nature's ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey."When waves come toward。
