She picked up one million cigarette butts with members of her community．7.What is the text mainly about？______A. California's "Butt Lady"．B. Fighting against smoking．C. Californians health problems．D. Smoking problems in California．Laughter is part of the universal human vocabulary. All members of the human species understand it. Unlike English or French or Swahili, we don't have to learn to speak it. We re born with the capacity to laugh.Very little is known about the specific brain mechanisms responsible for laughter. Contrary to folk wisdom, most laughter is not about humor;it is about relationships.To find out when and why people laugh，I went with several assistants to local malls and recorded what happened just before people laughed. Over a 10-year period，we studied over 2，000 cases of naturally occurring laughter．We found that most laughter does not necessarily follow jokes. People may laugh after a variety of statements, such as, "Here comes Mary，" "How did you do on the test？" or "Do you have a rubber band？" These certainly aren't jokes.We believe laughter evolved from the panting （喘气的）behavior of our ancient ancestors.Today, if we tickle （使发痒）chimps, they don't laugh．But, instead, they produce a panting sound. That's the sound of ape laughter, and it's the root of human laughter. Apes laugh in the kinds of situations that lead to human laughter, like games that involve chasing. Other animals produce sounds during play，but they are so different from laughter. Rats, for example, produce high sounds during play and when tickled, but these are very different in sound from human laughter．Laughter is often positive, but it can be negative too. There's a difference between "laughing with" and "laughing at".People who laugh at others may be trying to drive them out of the group.No one has actually counted how much people of different ages laugh,but young children probably laugh the most. At ages 5 and 6 we probably laugh more than at any other times. Adults laugh less than children, probably because they play less.Work now underway will tell us more about the brain mechanisms behind laughter,how it has evolved, and why we're so susceptible to tickling.8.What was the purpose of the decade's research？______A. To prove that people laugh because of humour．B. To find out the real reason for people s laughter．C. To research people s different reaction on jokes．D. To record conversations among shoppers in malls．9.What can we learn from the text？______A. People who play more tend to laugh more．B. Apes produce high sounds when tickled．C. Scientists know the brain mechanisms responsible for laughter well．D. The situations in which apes laugh are very different from those in which humanslaugh．10.What does the underlined word "susceptible" in the last paragraph probably mean？______A. Sensitive．B. Flexible．C. Addictive．D. Reliable．11.Which of the following might be the best title for the text？______A. The Impact of LaughterB. The Meaning of LaughterC. A Big Mystery：Why Do We Laugh？D. Laughter：The Most Beautiful WordsA team of international scientists is due to set off for the world's biggest iceberg in a mission aiming to answer fundamental questions about the impact of climate change in the polar regions. The scientists, led by he British Antarctic Survey (BAS), are trying to reach a newly revealed ecosystem that had been hidden for 120, 000 years below the Larsen C ice shelf.Last year, part of the Larsen C ice shelf calved (崩解) away, forming a hugeiceberg-A68—which is four times bigger than London, and revealing life beneath for the first time. Now scientists say it is a race against time to explore these new ecosystems before they are transformed to the light. Marine biologist Dr Katrin Linse from the BAS is leading the mission."The calving of A68 provides us with a unique opportunity to study marine life as it respondsto a huge environment change, "she said. "It is important that we get there quickly before the undersea environment changes as sunlight enters the water. "Professor David Vaughan, science director at the BAs, said, "We need to be bold (大胆的) on this one. Larsen C is a long way south and there's lots of sea ice in the area, but this is important science, so we will try our best to get the team where they need to be. He said climate change had already affected the sea around Antarctica and is warming some coastal waters. "Future warming may make some habitats warm. Where these habitats support unique species that are adapted to love the cold and not the warm, those species are going to either move or die. "There is growing concern about the possible impact of climate change in the Antarctic.Earlier this month, a report revealed that melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are speeding up the already fast pace of the sea level rise. The research, published by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, said, "At the current rate, the world's ocean will be, on average, at least 60cm higher by the end of the century." However, it found that the process is accelerating, and more than three quarters of the acceleration since 1993 is due to melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, the study shows.12.Why are the scientists eager to go to the iceberg?A. To study how the iceberg was formed.B. To study a newly discovered ecosystem.C. To explore a new way to prevent climate change.D. To explore the geography of the Larsen C ice shelf.13.What do the underlined words "this one" in the fourth paragraph refer to?A. The Larsen C ice shelf.B. Climate change in Antarctica.C. The A68 iceberg with the ecosystem beneath it.D. The condition of animal species in Antarctica.14.What can we learn about the A68 iceberg from the text?A. It is as big as London.B. It is part of an ice shelf in the Arctic.C. It will disappear in a very short time.D. It has uncovered an unknown ecosystem in Antarctica.15.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. There is no need to worry about climate change in Antarctica.B. The ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are melting at a steady rate.C. Many creatures living in deep water will die out due to climate change.D. By 2100, the sea level will have risen to a much higher level than now.There is a large percentage of Asian people in the US．They're hard-working，respectful but strange sometimes．(1) Asian people are different from people in any other cultures．If you think you know them，you might want to think again．How are they different？When it comes to most Asian culture，respect is everything．(2) If you don't show proper respect for him，you will get some real consequences afterward and especially if he's your boss．It's something called face saving in the Asian culture．It's ridiculous sometimes but it's their culture．Sometimes their culture can come in between their relationship at work．Asian people might expect a lot of respect from their co-workers when their co-workers just see them as an equal．(3) If you're Asian，you might want to understand the American culture and even adapt to their culture if you work with them．It will be easier for you since you re in their countries．Imagine an America working in China，expecting Chinese co-workers to get along with him when he criticizes them straight out on every single matter in front of everyone，I think they will take him outside and take care of him．(4)If you're an American boss giving your Asian employee a review，you will see that they will have a problem with your negative remarks．They will think that you don't like them，disrespectful，and want to get rid of them．(5) Of course，it's not fair for you as an American boss but just expect that it can be something that is on your Asian employee's mind．A．In fact，you re just doing your job．B．So you have no choice but to trust them．C．Americans cannot get along well with Asians．D．It just doesn't work that way with Asian people．E．Americans are very different from Asian people．F．You can do anything you want but don t disrespect an Asian man．G．If you don't understand their culture，you will get some problems with them．16.

What Is Visual Language？DHotshot jet pilots are no match for cliff swallows．The birds rocket over bridges and skim over lakes，rushing forward at accelerations that would knock an Air Force．By tracking these contests with high-speed cameras，a new study gives the first，in-depth peek into avian aerodynamics （鸟类空气力学）in the wild．"The findings may even provide insight into how to design better micro air vehicles-tiny drones．This technology will be brilliantly useful，" says biomechanics expert Jim Usherwood of the United Kingdom's Royal Veterinary College in Hatfield.." High-resolution field studies like this have never been done before for birds．" For cliff swallows，the trouble starts when they return from wintering in South America to their summer homes in North America．After arrival，they seek out their old mud nests- usually located under concrete bridges and freeways-and start rebuilding their homes．But rather than hunt down a fresh supply of mud，some swallows prefer stealing supplies from their more hardworking neighbors．Others take things further and will even lay an egg or two in their neighbor's nest before taking off．Battles in the air follow if the invaders are caught in the act，and a new study takes advantage of these fights to learn how birds perform high-speed maneuvers （演习）．The team placed three cameras along a North Carolina lake crossed by a highway bridge that houses several cliff swallow nests and waited for the battles to commence．The team was surprised to learn that most of the time*chasers copied the move of fleeing invaders．Swallows also pull very hard turns to escape an enemy*with one extreme case reaching =7.8 gravity．Fighter pilots usually pass out at about 5 or 6 gravity，which is why these experiments have earned interest，and partial funding，from the Office of Naval Research．The Navy may use the findings to build better guidance systems for micro air vehicles．However，the swallows，biomechanics are complex，and now the team is simply trying to collect a few tricks．12.Why did the Usherwood carry out the studies？______A. To guide a better design of air vehicles．B. To prove the swallows are better at flying．C. To experiment with its high-speed cameras．D. To track how the swallows skim over lakes．13.What leads to the battles among the birds？______A. Sharing food．B. Occupying others' nests．C. Seizing mud for nesting．D.

2020届湖南省湘潭市高考英语一模试卷含答案

高考英语一模试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AAs you know, there are many fantastic parks in New York City.Central ParkOne of the most famous parks in the world, Central Park is a man-made wonder. Not only is it the first public park built in America, but it is also one of the most frequently visited parks, with over 25 million guests per year. Set in the middle of busy Manhattan, its grounds serve as a safe harbor, not only for athletes, and musicians but also for lots of migratory birds each year. One can spend an entire peaceful day wandering its grounds, gazing upon nearly 50 fountains, monuments, and sculptures or admiring its 36 bridges.Hudson River ParkHudson River Park is a waterside park on the Hudson River that extends from 59th Street south to Battery Park in the New York City district of Manhattan. Bicycle and pedestrian paths, including the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway, span the park north to south, opening up the waterfront for the public to relax. The park includes tennis and soccer fields, children’s playground, dog run, and many other features.Washington Square ParkWashington Square Park, located in the heart of Greenwich Village, is a very popular and often crowded place. People from all backgrounds gather to this large square dotted with trees.Central Park ZooThe Central Park Zoo is a small 6. 5-acre zoo located on Central Park in New York City. The zoo began in the 1860s, making it the first official zoo to open in New York. The zoo was improved in 1934, with the addition of many new buildings ranged in a quadrangle around the sea lion pool. Finally, the zoo was repaired in the mid-1980s and reopened in 1988, replacing the old-fashioned cages with naturalistic environments.1.Which park is set in the heart of Greenwich Village?A. Central Park.B. Hudson River Park.C. Washington Square Park.D. Central Park Zoo.2.What can we learn about Central Park?A. It is the first public park built in the world.B. It is primarily a man-made park.C. It was the most crowded park when first built.D. It especially attracts pedestrians and artists.3.When was the first official zoo in New York improved for the first time?A. In 1934.B. In the 1860s.C. In the mid-1980s.D. In 1988.BI live a different life in every season．Life in the summertime is often full of pests．Like most Long Island homeowners，I want to ensure my suburban life with pest-free living．So it was with wide-eyed surprise that I greeted the smiling exterminator （灭虫者）who rang my bell．"We'll be serving your neighbors，Mike and Sarah （I'm not familiar with either one by name），" he waved in the other direction．"Since we'll have a team here tomorrow，we'reoffering a discount．" He came out with numbers beginning from ﹩299 then in seconds to ﹩89．"You've probably been seeing the ant hills around．" he moved toward my front walkway and lawn．"And have you seen the bees that dig nests in the ground？" he continued with his head shaking up and down pushing me to do the same．"What we do is spray three feet out from your foundation and three feet up．" As he was talking，and without breaking eye contact，he opened his iPad cover and began operating at the screen to show me frightening images．"It also kills other pests，like spiders．tt is the best pesticide （杀虫剂），" he said，pausing for effect．He then went into soft talk to close the deal，correctly foreseeing that I would be concerned about safety and the environmental impact on my vegetable garden，plants and our little patch of planet here on Long Island．"The products are environmentally responsible，safe with children and pets，" he said．I'm unkind when it comes to unwanted visitors entering on my out-of-doors moments．Any insect found in my house or on my deck is bound to be poisoned or pancaked．Unfortunately for the exterminator，just as I was considering buying the pesticide，Billy，my fearless husband，pulled into our driveway，which made me ask for a business card out of politeness instead．4.How did the author feel at the sight of the exterminator？______A. Surprised．B. Disappointed．C. Puzzled．D. Frightened．5.What did the exterminator offer the author if she accepted his service？______A. A free pesticide．B. A group rate．C. An iPad for free．D. A discount．6.Why was the author worried about the pesticide？______A. It might cause frightening images．B. It might harm her family and surroundings．C. It might be too expensive for her to afford．D. It might have no effect on unwanted visitors．7.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？______A. Billy saw his neighbors cheated by the exterminator．B. The author is sure to phone the salesman later．C. Billy made up his mind to purchase the pesticide．D. The author had planned to buy the pesticide before Billy appeared．CThe origin of "holiday" is easy to see，coming from "holy day"，a day of particular religious significance，often celebrating the life of a saint （圣徒），during which no work was to bedone．As far back as the 11th century，"holidays"，especially the major feast days，were times of "celebration and amusement"，as the Oxford English Dictionary puts it．The number of holidays steadily increased during the Middle Ages，until a medieval Englishman would have had the luxury of 40 to 50 days a year off work，depending on where he lived，in addition to a free day on Sundays．During the Reformation，Henry VIII abolished most of the holidays partly because of the Protestant （新教徒的）suspicion of saints，but more practically，because，according to historian Eamon Duffy，"A large number of holidays were making the people poor by limiting agriculture．" The people took a different view and organized a protest march-the Pilgrimage of Grace-partly to protect their days off．Though at first the religious and festive senses of holiday were combined，the word gradually came to be used for any kind of relaxing break from work．As the word was drawing away from a religious society，the number of authorized holidays was reduced，until by 1834most workers had only four official days off a year，in addition to Sundays．Many factory workers amplified this time by staying home on "Saint Monday" to recover from what they had gotten up to the day before．By the late 19th century，employers were compromising and offering half-day Saturdays，the beginning of the "weekend"，a term first used in 1879．In 1908，an innovative mill in New England gave its employees all of Saturday off，and the practice spread widely during the Great Depression as a way to keep employment up．It took 400 years，but finally workers could enjoy as many holidays as they had in the 15th century．8.What was the word "holiday" originally intended for？______A. Economy．B. Religion．C. Entertainment．D. Politics．9.What's the main reason for Henry VIII's ending most holidays according to EamonDuffy？______A. His people required a thorough reformation．B. He didn't believe in God and the saints．C. People took no interest in the agriculture due to them．D. Too many holidays stood in the way of the agriculture．10.Which can best replace the underlined word "amplified" in paragraph 4？______A. lengthenedB. wastedC. shortenedD. guaranteed11.When did most employees get the whole Saturday off？______A. In 1879．B. In 1908．C. During the Great Depression．D. In the 15th century．DThe popular wisdom for years has been that drinking in moderation （适度）-that's one "standard" drink a day for women and two for men-is linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular （心血管的）disease．But recent studies are casting some doubt on that long-held learning．Science now says it depends on your age and drinking habits．A 2017 study of nearly 2 million British with no cardiovascular risk found that there was still a modest benefit in moderate drinking，especially for women over 55 who drank five drinks a week．Why that age？Alcohol can influence the substance in the blood in positive ways，experts say，and that's about the age when heart problems begin to occur．Also，a 2018 study found that drinking more than 100 grams of alcohol per week-equal to roughly seven standard drinks in the United States or five to six glasses of wine in theUK-increases your risk of death from all causes and in turn lowers your life expectancy．Linkswere found with different forms of cardiovascular disease，with people who drank more than 100 grams per week having a higher risk of stroke，heart failure．Another 2018 study found that consistently drinking a moderate amount of alcohol，within recommended guidelines，had a protective effect on the heart over time．Unstable drinking habits were associated with a higher risk of heart disease，which the authors reflected might indicate broader lifestyle changes，such as poor health or stress．Former drinkers were also at greater risk．Overall，however，the latest thinking is that any heart benefit may be outweighed by other health risks，such as high blood pressure，certain cancers and liver damage．Women who drink are at a higher risk for breast cancer；alcohol contributes about 6% of the overall risk，possibly because it raises certain dangerous hormones in the blood．Drinking can also increase the chance you might develop liver，mouth and oral cancers．One potential reason：Alcohol weakens our immune systems，making us more likely to inflame （发炎）-a driving force behind cancer．12.Why does moderate drinking benefit women over 55？______A. It helps them live longer than men．B. It reduces the chance of some heart problems．C. It destroys the harmful chemicals in their blood．D. It helps them recover from cardiovascular disease．13.What can we learn from paragraph 3？______A. Drinking more than 10 grams of alcohol per week is surely harmful．B. Solid links were found between the disease and the amount of alcohol．C. The lifespan varies according to amount of consumed alcohol．D. Seven standard drinks are the recommended amount of drinking in the UK．14.Who will be at a lower risk according to the 2018 study？______A. Consistent drinkers with lifestyle changes．B. Unstable drinkers with lifestyle changes．C. Consistent drinkers within recommended amount of alcohol．D. Unstable drinkers within recommended amount of alcohol．15.Which can be the best title for the text？______A. Moderate drinking habits benefit the heart．B. Moderate drinking weakens our immune systems．C. Moderate drinking can prevent cancer．D. Moderate drinking does more harm than good to health．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）How much do you know about colors?

第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) （略）第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AMy college experience included this life-skill lesson: Drink alcohol on a full stomach. Or you will get inebriated too quickly. Of course, most college students shouldn’t be drinking at all, but we know from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to 60 percent of college students aged 18 to 22 do consume alcohol, which makes harm-reducing approaches important.Unfortunately, campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the full-stomach drinking strategy on its head: rather than filling up before a night of partying, significant numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.This is a high-risk behavior called “drunkorexia,” which is one part eating disorder, one part alcoholism—a very dangerous combination for college-age students. The term drunkorexia, which can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol, was coined about 10 years ago, and it started showing up in medical research around 2012. Drunkorexia addresses the need to be the life of the party while staying extremely thin, pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and alcoholism among college students, mostly women.Imagine this scenario: A femal e college freshman doesn’t eat anything all day, exercises on an empty stomach, then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours. Because there’s no food in her system to help slow the absorption of alcohol, those shots affect her rapidly, leading to inebriation and possiblypassing out, vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning. That’s drunkorexia.Tavis Glassman, professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in Ohio, researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios suc h as the one described above: “With nothing in her system, alcohol hits quickly, and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk drinking: getting home safely, sexual assault, unintentional injury, fights, hangovers that affect class attendance and grades, and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,” he says.“Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system, it can interfere with sleep, lower the immune system and is linked to several types of cancers,” Hultin says.1. What does the underlined word “inebriated” in paragraph 1 mean?A. excitedB. overwhelmedC. addictedD. drunk2. We can infer from the passage that ____________.A. a large number of college students spend most of their nights partyingB. some college students refuse to eat before drinking alcohol to keep slimC. There is a direct link between body image and consuming alcoholD. female college student is more likely to be hurt if she drinks alcohol3. Which of the following may Tavis Glassman agree with?A. With more food in one’s system, he may suffer from the effects of alcohol slowly.B. Drinking five shots of tequila in less than two hours is the performance of drunkorexia.C. Those who don’t attend classes and have lower grades tend to be addicted to alcohol.D. Alcohol has negative effects on the immune system and may lead to several cancers.BThe first men and women came to Britain over two and a half million years ago. They were hunters and gatherers of food who used stone tools and weapons. But the British Isles only became islands separate from the rest of Europe about 8,500 years ago, when melting ice formed the English Channel!3,000 years after Britain became an island, new tribes who came by boat from the mainland introduced farming. These tribes built earthworks for protection and as tombs for their dead. Many of these man-made hills can still be seen.Later on, people learned to build stone monuments. The most amazing is Stonehenge, a circle of huge stones begun about 4,500 ye ars ago. Stonehenge is the world’s most famous prehistoric monument. We don’t know what it meant or what it was used for, though many different suggestions have been made.3,000 years ago the climate in Britain became colder and wetter than before, and people had to move down from high ground. A bit later iron started to be sued for tools and weapons instead of bronze.Knowledge of ironworking may have been brought by the Celts, a new wave of immigrants who started to arrive from southern Europe in about 500 BC.What we know about the first people in Britain has been worked out by archaeologists from the remains they left behind them. Pytheas, a Greek, was the first person who could read and write to come to Britain. His visit was in about 330 BC, over 2000 years after Stonehenge was begun. Unfortunately, what Pytheas wrote has been lost, so we don’t have any written record of Britain until the Romans came, almost 300 years after he did!4.This passage mainly tells us _______ .A.The dawn of history in BritainB.How English Channel was formedC.How the British made a living millions of years agoD.When humans appeared on the British Isles5.In this passage “the man-made hill” probably refers to ___________ .A.The small islands in BritainB.Earthworks for protection and as tombsC.The amazing StonehengeD.The farms opened up by the first man6.Why did people move to low ground 3,000 years ago?A.Because iron tools were used for farmingB.Because the climate made it unfit for man to live thereC.Because more people arrived from southern EuropeD.Because the Celts forced them to do so7.Only after ________ do people have written records about Britain.A.the arrival of the CeltsB.Stonehenge was begunC.Pytheas’s visitD.the Romans cameCDuring Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine -year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four different directions. For a child on a bike that’s really confusing!”Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 81,000 - more than the city’s 850,000 inhabitants - and 63% of the population cycle daily.But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges, Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters (小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury (评审员) member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park w here children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn a it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the parents, Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”8. Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?A. To teach children how to ride.B. To ensure cycling is safer for children.C. To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.D. To organize the cycling contests in the city.9. Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?A. ImportantB. UnnecessaryC. DifficultD. Valuable10. What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor? .A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.B. She has won a contest about cycling.C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.D. She has given proposals to the city mayor.11. What’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?A. CautiousB. FavorableC. AmbiguousD. DisapprovingDGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet” and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to s ee what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. “Oh, a few birds, ” they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.12. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ________.A. anxious to do wonders.B. sensitive to others’ feelings.C. likely to develop unpleasant habits.D. eager to explore the world around them.13. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A. To avoid jumping to conclusions.B. To stop complaining all the time.C. To follow the teacher’s advice.D. To admit mistakes honestly.14. The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they _______.A. are very patient in their observation.B. are really fascinated by nature.C. care only about the names of birds.D. question the accuracy of the field guides.15. In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should ______.A. fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world.B. get rid of some bad habits in our daily life.C. open our mind to new things and ideas.D. try our best to protect nature.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。

Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed – a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the ca rd’s and said: “Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s marketing had worked – it was a househol d name before it’d even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, “What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stop makingtrouble.” Chris smiled.

Tasks that once required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating certain new r ules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it’s OK to call. But that’s just the beginning.“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office manager from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message —“K.” “At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few wordshere. You’re not that busy.”There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to express their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James Ivory, professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friends have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that have their own unique set of routine.But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand.“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediate ly fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up a feeling in seconds.“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”32.
