陕西省商南县高级中学2019届高三英语上学期二模考试试题阅读理解（共两节，满分 40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题 2分，满分30分）ASLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PACKSSAME GREAT DEVONDALE QUALITYFrom the green pastures (牧场) of Australia comes Devondale, Australia's largest community of farming families.The people at Devondale blend dairy goodness (乳制品)and clever ideas to bring you great tasting innovative products，which have been shipped to America, Canada and exported to Austria.Like our lightest one—instant skim(脱脂的)milk powder that makes 10 litres of delicious skim milk. So you never run out of milk again.DIRECTIONS FOR USE：TO MIX 1 CUP(250ML)•Add 1/4 cup (25g)of instant Devondale Skim Milk Powder to 1/2 cup of hot or cold water.•Add more water to make up 1 cup.•For best result always add powder to water.•For richer taste and extra nutrition, use additional powder to suit your personal taste or preference.•To improve the natural taste of this product, we recommend storing the liquid milk in the refrigerator overnight prior to consumption.NOTICE：•Store powder in a cool, dry place.•Keep refrigerated at or below 4 degrees centigrade no more than 3 days.•Once opened, store in an airtight container.21．In which country is Devondale —a worldfamous dairy product brand made? A．Australia. B．Austria.C．Canada. D．America.22．What should a user do if he/she wants the milk to taste a natural taste?A．Add some sugar to the milk.B．Remove the cream from the milk.C．Put it in the fridge before using it.D．Increase its amount in the liquid milk.23．Where are you suggested putting the powder once consumed?A．In a plastic bowl. B．In a warm room.C．In a watertight （不漏水的）jar. D．In a closed container.BSomeone sent me an email urging me to acquire a lot more resources, suggesting that I could do so much more good if I had an 8 or 9 figure net income instead of 6 like I’ve been doing for years. He claimed to have acquired a great deal of wealth himself and found it highly beneficial to fueling his path with a heart.As I consider his suggestion, I find myself not having much clarity (清晰的思维) as to what I’d do with 1 million or 10 million more money flowing through my life. I put so much attention on creativity, fulfillment（履行）, exploration, relationships, etc. that I find it difficult to intelligently imagine how more financial resources could provide extra fuel for that, except in small ways or in ways that aren’t particularly meaningful to me.Lately I’ve been considering what it would be like to deliberately reduce my income for a while and see if I could live on much less, just for the experience. What if I capped my net personal income at $10,000 per year, for instance? That isn’t such a big deal to me, though, since I already went through a period of low income like that during the 1990s, and I learned that I could still do what I love regardless of income.I’ve never worked in a business environment — the only job I’ve ever had was working for $ 6/hour in a video game store while I was in college. So I’ve never seen how larger operations （公司）allocate（分配） resources. That’s probably why I haven’t pushed myself to acquire more. As I mentioned in my book Money and Your Path With a Heart, my main financial goal in life was to make money irrelevant in my life.I’m not interested in building an empire. What interests me is exploring personal growth and sharing what I learn along the way. In some ways I feel that acquiring and allocating more resources could become a big distraction. I’m already doing what I want to be doing, so why risk distracting myself to acquire more resources, especially when I lack the idea about how I should treat such resources? I like having freedom and flexibility, and I don’t really see how more resources would meaningfully improve that.24. Why did the man email the author?A. To ask the author to fuel his path.B. To lend some money to the author.C. To share his opinion about wealth.D. To urge the author to earn more money.25. Which of the following can describe the author’s personality?A. Optimistic and devoted.B. Independent and cooperative.C. Unfortunate but positive.D. Wealthy but hardhearted.26. What does the underlined word “capped” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. LimitedB. SpentC. IncreasedD. Distributed27. The following are true EXCEPT ________.A. the author might be a professional writerB. the author is good at designing video gamesC. the author is interested in exploring his personal growthD. the author might be a person who likes sharing his knowledgeCSocial media is one of the fastest-growing industries in today’s world. Your friends’lives may look more exciting than yours on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but new research shows it is because they are faking (伪造) it.A recent survey has found around two-thirds of people on social media post images to their personal information to make their lives seem more adventurous. And more than three quarters of those asked said they judged their peers based on what they saw on their Instagram, Snapehat or Facebook pages.The British survey, by smart phone maker HTC, found that, in order to make our own pages and lives appear more exciting, six percent also said they had borrowed items to include in the images in order to pass them off as their own. More than half of those surveyed said they posted images of items and places purely to show off, causing jealousy among friends and family.Behavioral psychologist Hemmings said the trend was unsurprising due to the rise of social media. “We’re living in a world of instant communication.” she said. “Fashion and style used to live and die in magazines; now people are in search of authentic, peer-to-peer recommendations as well, making social media an equal power house to magazines and newspapers.”“With images being shared in an instant, we desire to know what our friends are wearing, or what super stars are buying, as soon as they have got them.” Such is the influence of social media sites like Instagram, 76 percent of those asked also said seeing items on socialmedia influences them to buy them, with men more likely to take style advice and buy what they see.28. How do some people make their lives appear more exciting?A. By buying pictures.B. By posting images.C. By making up stories.D. By risking their lives.29. What does the underlined word “jealousy” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Adventure.B. Conflict.C. Envy.D. Misunderstanding.30. What can we learn from Hemmings?A. The trend reflects the development of social media.B. Fashion and style no longer exist in magazines.C. Magazines and newspapers are less important.D. The trend is beyond people’s expectation.31. Which of the following best describes social media like Instagram?A. Positive.B. Creative.C. Persuasive.D. Honest.DReading is the ability to process text, understand its meaning and to integrate it with what the reader already knows. Of all the reading skills speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line. But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation.A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones. They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour. Unlike tradition book club, the point of the slow reading club isn’t exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smartphones.Slow readers, such as The Atlantic’s Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens themind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize. Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helps people understand others’ mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships.Yet technology has made us less attentive readers. Screens have changed our reading patterns from the top-to-right, left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Reading text punctuated with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text. The Internet may have made us stupider, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian. Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other.Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. “Aim for 30 minutes a day,” advises Kelly from The Atlantic. “You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,”Kelly said. “Reach for your e-reader, if you like. Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure you’ll never lose your place.”32.The book club in Wellington mentioned in Paragraph 2 shows____________.A.the new trend of slow readingB. the decline of electronic devicesC. the importance of exchanging ideasD. the increasing number of club readers33. According to Patrick Kingsley, people are stupider partly because of_____________.A. a non-stop reading patternB. the straight, left-to-right screenC. a wide range of interesting newsD. the lack of reflection34. According to the passage, slow reading___________.A. contributes to understanding among peopleB. promotes the current technology advancesC. provides people with a quiet environmentD. cures the memory loss of elderly people35. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Benefit of Reading ClubsB. Return of Slow ReadingC. Reading of the Internet AgeD. Influence of Speed Reading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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

We were focusing on the theme of loving others in practical ways through our gifts, and something in particular happened during one of the sessions（会议）will remain imprinted in memory.A young Syrian woman (Lilith) was invited to the conference at the last minute, and everyone seemed surprised and delighted that she’d actually come. Just a few days earlier, Lilith had fled her country and found refuge with one of the women attending the conference. As an Orthodox Christian in Syria, she and her loved ones had become attacked targets of violent terrorist groups in the country’s ongoing civil war.Lilith had witnessed horrors no one of her young age should ever see. Despite the further danger it presented, she’d decided to leave her home and her family to find safety here in America. Knowing some of her story, and seeing her sitting through the sessions at the retreat（畏缩不前）---head, covered in a scarf, bowed toward the floor---broke my heart. Lilith’s story touched all of us, including Pam, who was quilt maker. Pam had just finished a beautiful quilt, and had brought it with her. She, along with a few of the leaders, decided to give it to Lilith as a symbol of their comfort and love.During our last session, Lilith was called forward and prayed over, hugged, and wrapped up in that beautiful quilt. I thought of the many hours Pam undoubtedly spent working on it, and the terrible events that led Lilith to this moment---surrounded by the beauty and love quiltembodied. I wept. When they told her it was for her, she wept.25. What is the purpose of the women’s conference?A. To help others in a practical way.B. To win equal rights for women.C. To get together to dance and sing.D. To exchange gifts with each other.26. Why did Lilith go to America?A. To attend the women’s conference.B. To find safety.C. To find her family.D. To find a better job.27. From this passage, we know that the writer is____________.A. enthusiasticB. sympatheticC. intelligentD. talented28. What is the meaning of the underlined word?A. a place of interestB. a place of dangerC. a place of conferenceD. a place of shelterCY ou know the feeling that you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia”(无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. Y ou can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memoriessuffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt”(neck pain was often reported) and “alone”predicted higher levels of nomophobia.“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,”said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.”Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts-the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,”says Griffiths. “Y ou would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is rooted in this device.”Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat orInstagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no internet,”says Griffiths.29. Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?A. We waste too much time on phones.B. Phones have become part of some users.C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.30. According to Giffiths, we get nomophobia because .A. we are accustomed to having a phone on usB. we need our phones to help us store informationC. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doingD. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble31. Where can you probably find the above passage?A. In a research report.B. In a fashion brochure.C. In a science textbook.D. In a popular science magazine. DAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in aboring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.32. The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him .A. at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. through environment of one’s family33. If a child is born with high intelligence, he can .A. surely become a geniusB. still become a genius if he isn’t given good educationC. reach his intelligence limits through his own effortsD. probably reach his intelligence limits in rich and varied surroundings34. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows .A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionsD. the part that birth plays35. The best title of the passage can be .A. On IntelligenceB. On GeniusC. Dependence on EnvironmentD. Effect of Education on Intelligence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最佳选项。

My only companion was a dog called Philly which had survi ved the shipwreck. Memories of what happened were still fresThe magnificence of the ship had given us all a false sense of security. As the first signs of the storm started, our captain announced it was nothing much, just another storm. Yet, he w as wrong! The storm hit the ship so badly that large holes wer e made at the sides of the ship. As the freezing water started rushing in, our ship was consumed quickly by the dark water. My train of thought was disturbed by Philly licking my hand dearly. “Are you hungry?” I spoke my first words ever since th e shipwreck occurred. “Woof,woof!” Barked Philly enthusiasti cally. At this moment, my stomach gave a loud growl, too. I co uld not remember when my last meal was, probably a ten-course dinner on the ship. As I had never fished before, I thou ght maybe I could try something simpler, like picking fruits. Wi th Philly at my side, armed with a sharp branch, we walked int o the forest on the island together. Suddenly I thought I heard noises. Could there be anyone else on this island? I wondere d. As we were looking for fruit trees, we chanced upon one th at bore yellow, juicy-looking fruit. Philly started barking－we had company. It was a dark-skinned woman, holding a sharp spear, dressed in fur and gra ss. I backed away from her, afraid that she would be aggressi ve. Then, I saw that she was trying to save us. Pointing her spear at the fruit tree, she shook her head strongly.I nodded at her to show I understood what she was saying. Signaling to us to follow her, she turned to walk along a small path that I had never noticed. At the end of the small path, the re was a small village.

According to a report published by the B ritish Council in September, about 51 per cent of the UK pare nts want their children to learn Chinese, as it's believed to be one of the most useful languages.In fact, the popularity of Chinese drove the UK government to launch the Mandarin Excellence Programme in September las t year. Its aim is to make at least 5,000 British secondary scho ol students fluent in Chinese by 2020.Yet, the UK isn't the only country showing a growing interest in Chinese.The language has become the second most spoken foreign la nguage in the United States this year, after only Spanish, with over 2.1 million speakers, according to a survey by 24/7 Wall St, a US financial news website.Many US celebrities, such as Facebook founder Mark Zucker berg and former US President Barack Obama's daughter Mali a Obama, study Chinese as a second language.In April, Arabella and Joseph Kushner, grandchildren of US Pr esident Donald Trump, performed the traditional folk song Jas mine in Mandarin for Chinese President Xi Jinping when the t wo leaders met in Florida.So far, 67 countries and regions have included Chinese on th eir national curriculum, reported the China News Service.As is known, China continues to develop rapidly and Chinese is increasingly becoming a useful tool for people's personal a nd professional growth.“I think everyone believes that China will be the next great su perpower...Even if it’s not a superpower like America, it's still very significant,” Aisling McCaffrey from Canada, who studied at the Renmin University of China, told Xinhua News Agency.“And learning Chinese is the best way to make sure that you can be part of that growth.”28. The writer mentions Prince George's curriculum in order t o ______.A. compare Chinese with EnglishB. tell something about the royal familyC. introduce the topic of this passageD. introduce the main character of the story29. The reason why many UK parents want their children to le arn Chinese is that ______.A. Chinese is easy to learnB. China is developing very fastC. many famous people are learning ChineseD. Chinese is one of the most useful languages in the world30. The most popular foreign language in the USA is ______.A. ChineseB. EnglishC. SpanishD. French31. A possible title of the passage may be ______.A. How to learn ChineseB. Chinese’s influence world wideC. The importance of ChineseD. The charm of a langua geThe idea of robot rulers, friends and lovers has been a topic o f science fiction novels for years.But according to one mathematical model of how our brains cr eate consciousness, emotional machines will never exist. This is because computers can't handle any process that com pletely integrates (整合) information, so they cannot be conscious or feel, one expe rt says.A mathematical model for consciousness, developed by Giuli o Tononi at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says that the ability to integrate information is a key feature of consciousness.He believes that integrated information can't be broken down i nto smaller pieces in conscious minds, because the brain cont extualizes (将……融入背景) information.For example, when we see a red circle our brains don't see th e shape as a colourless circle plus a shapeless coloured area , New Scientist reported. Instead we see it as a whole — a re d circle; we understand the “wider picture”.It's easy enough for machines to edit a collection of individualimages (图像), but memories are made up of a bank of intertwined (相互交织的) images and experiences and cannot be changed in the sa me way.Researchers have used mathematics to show that computers cannot handle the complex processes needed to fit pieces of i nformation together perfectly.Therefore, if consciousness is based on the integration of lots of pieces of information, computers can't be conscious and ca n't experience emotions like humans.Professor Phil Maguire of the National University of Ireland in Maynooth says that consciousness cannot be created in a ph ysical machine in limited time using limited memory.“It doesn't necessarily mean that there is some magic going o n in the brain that involves some forces that can't be explaine d physically. It is just so complex that it's beyond our abilities t o change it,” he said.His research may mean that lonely humans will not find love with a robot; they are unlikely to be made their slaves either.32. Why do experts think emotional machines won't exist?A. Machines can't solve problems.B. Machines can't integrate information.C. Machines can't handle information.D. Machines can't communicate with people.33. The example mentioned in Paragraph 6 is used to show _ ____.A. machines cannot feelB. the brain has consciousnessC. machines can recognize shapes and colorsD. the brain can contextualize information34. It can be learned from the text that _____.A. the idea of robot lovers won't come trueB. machines can edit intertwined imagesC. robots can fit pieces of information together perfectlyD. computers can experience emotions like humans one day35. What would be the best title for the text?A. How robots workB. Robots will never have feelingsC. Will robots become people's friends?D. What will robots be like in the future?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。

Jennifer NewmanI waited half an hour, set the board, and sat in the studio, reviewing my questions until the telephone lines flashed.“Hello ”“This is Connie Chung. I’m so sorry I’m late.”Connie Chung was one of the only four women anchors （主播） to make it into the club of major evening network television news. For almost an hour we talked about the industry. When I asked if she ever had an instructor throughout her trials, she turned around and offered to instruct me. When I asked why she decided to do it, she simply replied, “Because you’re good.”That afternoon I rushed home and told my mother what had happened. Without looking up, she just said “Good for you.” Hearing this, I felt a sense of loss. Her consistent response always made me feel under-appreciated.Until then I had been searching for something that I would never get—that sense of love and acceptance in a house full of negativity （消极）.I knew I needed to get rid of all the negativity in my lifefirst, so I packed my bags and walked out of the house, thinking a risk would allow me to open myself to the world again and receive all the positive energy that I needed.Then radio became my way of connecting with others. My ability to book high-level guests and celebrities（名人）was gradually recognized and eventually all the words of encouragement from past guests and colleagues helped me to re-build my confidence levels. “I can do this,” I kept telling myself, and pushed even harder to find my next aim.People had faith in me, so I developed faith in myself. Their positive attitudes towards themselves and towards me helped me develop my own positive attitude, leading to productive interactions with celebrities and adding to my list of instructors.I may not have started life surrounded by positivity but I surely feel that I am surrounded by it now. It’ s amazing how positivity builds on itself.1.What was the author probably doing at the beginning of the textA. He was preparing for a show.B. He was looking for an instructor.C. He was waiting to be interviewed.D. He was broadcasting newsin the studio.2.How did the author’s mother react when told about Connie’s decisionA. She felt excited.B. She didn’t believe it.C. She was very grateful.D. She didn’t take it seriously.3.Why did the author leave homeA. To broaden his view.B. To escape punishment.C. To keep away from negativity.D. To set up a home of his own.4.What can be the best title for the textA. The Strength of PositivityB. My Goal in CareerC. My Ability in ManagementD. The Friendship Between AnchorsSome of the world’ s biggest companies—Apple, Amazon, Facebook—didn’ t exist 30 years ago. So what firms are we working for in 20xx That’ s a question put forward by historian Yuval Noah Harari in his new book “21 Lessons for the 21st Century”.He argues that because technol ogy is changing so fast, it’ s one of the first times in human history when we don’t know what jobswill look like in the coming three decades. “So the best bet is to focus on emotional intelligence（EQ）,” he said. “Information is the last thing the kids n eed. They have too much of it.”In this book, he focuses on the various challenges facing us today. As he writes in the book’ s introduction: “What are today’s greatest challenges What should we pay attention to What should we teach our kids ” One area w here these questions crop up isartificial intelligence （AI）. Harari believes that AI will completely affect the job market for the next generation of workers.His first two books—“Sapiens” and “Homo Deus”—became international bestsellers, selling more than 12 million copies worldwide. They were praised by the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, Barack Obama and Bill Gates. Harari’ s books, about the past and future of humanity, attract a great number of fans. Fellow Israeli, actress Natalie Portman, is a fan. So is American R&B star Janelle Monae.As for Bill Gates, he might be Harari’ s biggest fan. So when the New York Times asked him to review Harari’ s latest books, he jumped at the opportunity. “All the three books wrestle with some version of the same question: What will give our lives meaning in the decades and centuries ahead ” Gates wrote in his review. “So far, human history has been driven by a desire to live longer, healthier, happier lives. If science is eventually able to give that dream to most people, and large numbers of people no longer need to work, what reason will we have to get up in the morning ”1.What is the best way to help students face the uncertain future according to HarariA. Teaching them advanced technology.B. Providing them with more information.C. Improving their emotional intelligence.D. Reminding them of fierce competitions.2.What does Harari stress in his new bookA. The bright future of the future workers.B. Different challenges in face of people.C. Lessons humans should learn from history.D. The disadvantages of artificial intelligence.3.What can we learn about HarariA. He is Bill Gates’ good friend.B. He has a deep understanding of AI.C. He is highly thought of by everyone.D. His books are well received in the world.4.What is talked about in all of Harari’ s three booksA. The desire to enjoy life.B. The limitless opportunities in the future.C. The driving force of human history.D. The source of life meaning in the future.Wolves strike fear into the hearts of many species, humans included. Our fear of them has brought them to the edge of dying out, as we have cruelly killed them as competitors and trouble-makers. But researchers are discovering that the very fear they put into prey（被捕食者）species is exactly what helps make ecosystems（生态）healthy.Yellowstone National Park is a typical example of just how wolves can help repair an ecosystem. An October 20xx study analyzed 40 years of research on large animals inside the park.“Yellow stone has benefited from the reintroduction of wolves in ways that we did not anticipate, especially the complexity of biological interactions（互动）in the park,” explained Mark Boyce, a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. “We werereally sur prised at that and we’ d never have seen these responsesif the park hadn’t adopted ecological-process management—allowing natural ecological processes to take place with least human intervention.”After the wolves were re-introduced at Yellowstone, willow and cottonwood trees increased in number. The population of bears and bison also rose and what was once a ruling deer-wolf interaction is now more diverse.To learn more about just how wolves are beneficial, a short documentary from Quest explains how the presence of wolves influences the behavior of deer, which eventually makes entire ecosystems more biologically diverse and healthy. In this documentary, biologist Aaron Wirsing explored why wolves and other top predators （捕食者）were needed for diverse ecosystems to develop. Using a simple video camera, Wirsing is gaining a unique view point on predator-prey relationships and changing the way we think about wolves.The research is one more piece of evidence for why protecting these top predators is important not just for wolves as a species, but for hundreds of species at every level of an ecosystem. The fear they bring along may be the very angle that helps save them from dying out.1.What does the underlined word “anticipate” in paragraph 3 probably meanA. Expect.B. Understand.C. Notice.D. Accept.2.For what purpose was a documentary madeA. To introduce how wolves behave in the wild.B. To show how wolves benefit from ecosystems.C. To record how Aaron Wirsing observed wolves.D. To study what good wolves can do to ecosystems.3.What is the significance of the researchA. It proves wolves feed on hundreds of species.B. It helps prove the importance of protecting wolves.C. It shows the complex relationships between species.D. It provides evidence that wolves are endangered animals.4.What is the main idea of the passageA. The fear of wolves is beneficial to ecosystems.B. The fear of wolves put them in danger of disappearing.C. Yellowstone National Park owes its healthy ecosystems to wolves.D. The introduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park is a success.二、七选五Cold weather is good for youWith winter approaching, people begin to complain about cold weather. 1. There’ s plenty to love about cold weather. And there’ s plenty of evidence that cooler temperatures can be part of a healthy life.First, cooler temperatures can help you lose weight. It can also help you sleep better. You might feel uncomfortable at first if you cool your bedroom down. But if you, for example, switch your bedroom temperature from 72 down to 62 degrees gradually over a few weeks, your body will adjust. 2.I have long kept my winter house temperature at 62 degrees. How did I find that number Well, I experimented on myself about eight years ago. 3. I started at 66 and turned it down one degree every few days until 60. I found when the temperature was colder than 62, I couldn’t focus. But 62 was perfect. Another benefit for me was that it also kept me clear-headed while working at home.Interestingly, science also says 62 degrees is the magic number for brainwork. 4. It said 62 degrees was the temperature at which the schoolboy subjects of the study functioned perfect. And while we’ re speaking of work and school, other research shows that people study better when the weather outside is “bad”.5. But according to a Harvard Health Letter from 20xx, proper cold temperatures could be good for skin because it trains blood vessels in the skin to be responsive. So, rosy cheeks ! There’ s no reason to be afraid of winter weather. Hug it and you, too, can enjoy the season.A. I recently read a 1972 study.B. And you’ll save money on energy costs as well.C. Many people like to use cold water to wash their face.D. At that time, I worked at home and liked warm temperature.E. Most of us think cold weather leads to dry skin and wrinkling.F. The reason was that I hated spending money on heating bills.G. But if you’ re active and healthy, it doesn’t have to be a negative thing.三、完形填空“Mom, I don’ t like you,” my two-year-old son said.“Okay...is that ______ you love me ” I asked.“No, you’ re not lovely.”That night, as I washed my face, I ______ a little longer in the mirror—not because I was hurt by his ______, but because I noticed there was no light in my ______.I took out a pen and started writing a list—a list to ______ myself; a list to put sparkle（火花）back into my eyes. I once made many lists but ______ accomplished anything. This time would be______!The first goal on my list I wanted to achieve was ______ a Polar Plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics. On that day, when I ______ into my 1980s workout clothes, Jack smiled, “Mom, you look______.” Maybe, just maybe some light ______ my eyes.When coming out of the cold lake I felt happy and proud. I kept screaming, “I ______ it !” But one of the most exciting parts of the day was when I stood in front of my ______, which was taped on the refrigerator door. I ______ item number one. With that, I began to take back my life.Everyone taking part in the Polar Plunge received a ______. Whenever I wore it, Jack asked, “Is that your Polar Plungeclothing ” I answered ______, “Yes!” “I want to do that too.” Iwas happy he remembered I jumped into a ______ lake, and that he wanted to do activities with me.With each ______ crossed off（划掉） the list, a piece of myself is ______. Not only am I showing my family it’ s important to______, but I’ m showing myself that I’ m worth it.1.A. howB. whereC. whetherD. because2.A. washedB. lookedC. stayedD. felt3.A. behaviorB. statementC. questionD. rudeness4.A. faceB. lifeC. eyesD. thoughts5.A. defeatB. saveC. explainD. teach6.A. seldomB. alwaysC. yetD. almost7.A. completeB. similarC. unforgettableD. different8.A. learning fromB. setting upC. looking intoD. participating in9.A. jumpedB. changedC. ranD. burst10.A. nervousB. calmC. prettyD. cold11.A. slid awayB. approached toC. got out ofD. came back to12.A. didB. gotC. missedD. appreciated13.A. mirrorB. sonC. listD. photo14.A. tickedB. addedC. builtD. enlarged15.A. souvenirB. medalC. capD. shirt16.A. patientlyB. embarrassinglyC. proudlyD. unwillingly17.A. hugeB. freezingC. beautifulD. deep18.A. letterB. dateC. nameD. goal19.A. returningB. disappearingC. unitedD. cured20.A. workB. dreamC. learnD. share四、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的.单词或括号内单词的正确形式，并将答案填写在答题卡上。

is，they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much．Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds：What kind of impression am I making？Do they like me？Do I sound stupid？Am I wearing unattractive clothes？It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably．A person's self﹣concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions．In general，the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives．Shy people，who have low respect，are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others．They need faith that they are doing"the right thing"．Shy people are very sensitive to criticism．Itmakes them feel inferior（自卑）．They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise．A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one："You're just saying that to make me feel good，I know it's not true．"It is clear that，while self ﹣awareness is a healthy quality，overdoing it is harmful．Can shyness be completely got rid of，or at least reduced？Fortunately，people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect．It is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths．Each one of us has his or her own characteristics．We are interested in our own personal ways．The better we understand ourselves，the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life．29．The first paragraph is mainly about ．A．the effect of shyness on peopleB．the cause of shynessC．the feelings of shy peopleD．the questions in the minds of shy people30．According to the writer，self﹣awareness is ．A．harmful to peopleB．a healthy qualityC．the

nothing to do with lack of self respectB．help us to live up to our full developmentC．enable us to understand ourselves betterD．be overcome with determination．33．Forget about the"post﹣1995 generation"．Young people born in 1995 or later have another name in English﹣Generation Z．Now entering adulthood and soon to join the workforce，Generation Z grew up in a special period of time﹣a time in which technology developed fast，social changes happened every day，the internet became universal and，sadly，so did global terrorism．It is believed that Generation Z is the generation that is going to shape our future，which is why policy makers，sociologists and company leaders are trying their best to understand these young people．So，what are Gen Z﹣ers really like？Most people agree that the single biggest difference between Gen Z and other generations is how connected they are．This is a group of people who have been familiar with social media as soon as they were born．Social media has changed the way Gen Z﹣ers communicate with each other and how they get and understand information．"We are the first true digital natives．I can almost create a document，edit it，post a photo on Instagram and talk on the phone，all at the same time，"said Hannah Payne，an 18﹣year﹣old student at UCLA，according to The New York Times．"Generation Z takes in information very fast and loses interest just as fast．"It may be true that Generation Z﹣ers have a shorter attention span （注意力持续时间）than a goldfish，but sice they grew up among social changes，they are more active in politics．According to the British Election Study，58 percent of 18﹣t0﹣24﹣year﹣old voted in the 2015 general election in the UK，a big jump from 38 percent in 2005．Generation Z﹣ers are also culture creators．"Growing up with the internet has freed this generation from traditional cultural expression．"Wrote Grace Masback，a Huffington Post blogger and a Gen Z﹣er herself．According to Masback，these young people are no longer willing to let their creativity．According to Masback，these young people are no longer willing to let their creativity be limited by their parents of traditional rules．They watch videos and read news online instead of on TV，and they share their experiences on social media．"We decide what kind of content we want to experience and choose how we experience it，"wrote Masback．33．Which is TRUE about Gen Z﹣ers，according to the article？A．Face﹣to﹣face communication is challenging for themB．Often doing many things at the same time affects their efficiencyC．They don't bother to think about the information they at carefullyD．They show more interest in politics than in other fields34．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs？A．Gen Z﹣ers enjoy great freedom to express themselvesB．Gen Z﹣ers enjoy teaching their parents about new cultural trendsC．Gen Z﹣ers are against traditional cultureD．Gen Z﹣ers are unwilling to obey their parents35．Which word can best describe the author's attitude towards

case of accidents．They also reduce the effect of a crash on the body．（36）Worldwide，the devices have protected up to a million people．America first recognized the invention of an automobile seat belt in 1849．The government gave a patent to an engineer named Edward Claghorn of New York City so that others would not copy his invention of a safety device．（37）This early version of safety belt was said to include hooks and other attachments for securing the person to a fixed object．Other inventors followed with different versions of the seat belt．（38） It resulted from the work of a Swedish engineer，Nils Bohlin．His three﹣point，lap and shoulder seat belt first appeared on cars in Europe 50 years ago．Nils Bohlin recognized that both the upper and lower body needed to be held securely in place．His invention contained a cloth strap（带子）that was placed across the chest and another strap across his hips（臀部）．（39）Volvo was the first company to offer the modern seat belt to its cars．This company also provided use of Nils Bohlin's design to other car﹣makers．（40）He received a gold medal from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 1995．He died in Sweden in 2002．A．Claghorn called his invention a safety beltB．The design joined the straps next to the hip．C．The Swedish engineer won many honors for his seat belt．D．Safety experts say that seat belts save thousands of lives a year in America alone．E．There are many companies adopting Nils Bohlin's invention of the belt．F．Claghorn was a promising young engineer with many honors all his life．G．But more than 100 years passed before the current seat belt was developed．第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）41．第一节完形填空My 14﹣year﹣old son，John，and I spotted the coat at the same time at a second ﹣hand clothing store．It had a black
