"So you think it useless？"the old man asked．"Then look at the basket．"To his surprise，the boy found it washed clean of the dirty coal stains and now clean inside and out．"My child，that's what happens when you read the book．You might not understand or remember everything，but the words will change you inside and out．That is the work of reading in our lives．"4.Why did the man tell the boy to fetch a basket of water？ ______A.

It is good to finish your breakfast in a very short time．DMany people ask their friends or doctors: how can I lose weight? And many of them are often told: if you exercise, you will lose weight; ------which is one of the most widely accepted ideas in our culture. As a doctor, I exercise all the time, but I still have got fat that hangs over my belt when I sit. Why isn’t all the exercise getting rid of it?It’s another question many of us may ask. More than 35 million Americans now belong to a health club, up from 23 million in 1993. We spend some $19 billion a year on gym memberships. Of course, some people join and never go. Still, as one major study — the Minnesota Heart Survey — found, more of us at least say we exercise regularly.And yet obesity figures have risen sharply in the same period: a third of Americans are obese, and another third count as overweight by the Federal Government’s definition. Yes, it’s entirely possible that those of us who regularly go to the gym would weigh even more if we exercised less. But like many other people, I get hungry after I exercise, so I often eat more on the days I work out than on the days I don’t. Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?The popular belief that exercise is essential for weight control is actually fairly new. As recently as the 1960s, doctors routinely advised against too much exercise, particularly for older adults who could injure themselves. Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise, which is sound advice for many reasons: People who regularly exercise areat significantly lower risk for all manner of diseases —those of the heart in particular. They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses. But the past few years of obesity research show that the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly over-evaluated.“In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,” says Eric Ravussin, exercise researcher at Louisiana State University. Many recent studies have found that exercise isn’t as important in helping people lose weight as you hear so regularly in gym advertisements or on shows like The Biggest Loser — or from magazines like this one.12.Which title is the most suitable one for this article? ______A. Overweight Is Not Good for YouB. Exercise Won’t Make You ThinC. Gym Is Part of American LifestyleD. A Health Problem in America13.Which statement is correct? ______A. Some Americans join a health club but never take exercise thereB. The number of overweight people has doubled since 1993 in USC. More than 35 million Americans now go to the gym regularlyD. Most Americans waste too much money each year on sports14.From the passage, we know that exercise ____.A. has long been believed to be good for older adultsB. is not properly advertised as a way to lose weightC. was never recognized as an effective way to lose weightD. is not useful at all15.According to the passage, why do people gain weight? ______A. Because they have the habit of going to the gym regularlyB. Because they eat the same food when they do not exerciseC. Because they exercise less than required by doctorsD. Because they eat more after they exercise16.What can be inferred from the passage? ______A. Most Americans are overweight.B. Very few people in America are overweight.C. The author takes exercise all the time so he is very slim now.D. The author takes exercise all the time but it doesn’t make him loseweightEHome schooling nowadays becomes more popular. Home schooling is the education of children taught at home, typically by parents but sometimes by tutors, rather than in a formal setting of public or private school. The advantages of home schooling are plentiful, including the ability to create a positive learning environment without the danger and distractions of public school. What’s more, parents could stay with their children together for more time. However, home schooling also has disadvantages.First, home schooling may lead to students less communication with others. As we all know, the students who learn in public schools may find a lot of friends. When they meet difficulties, they can get help from others. But as for the students studying at home, the only persons they meet are their parents or tutors. It is certainly true that the children will have less interaction with their peers than those who attend public school on a regular basis.Second, home schooling may make children not know how to cooperate with others. Children who learn at home always stay with their parents or tutors. When they meet difficulties, they are always turning to and depending on their parents. But the children in public schools may know how to solve the problem with their friends.What’s more, home schooling may cost much more money than public school. If the parents want to take on the responsibility of educating their children themselves, it’s up to them to finance the entire experience. Learning materials, computer software and books that are otherwise paid for by the public school are needed, in addition to the regular school supplies all parents must purchase for their children. Considering that the parent doing the home schooling is unlikely to manage a full-time job on the side, these expenses are tough for some families to meet.17.What is one of the benefits of home education?A. It creates a more negative learning environment.B. Parents can stay with their kids for more time.C. Children have more social abilities.D. It has much lower cost.18.What would happen in the style of home schooling?A. One will have less peer pressure.B. One will have an easier way to make friends.C. One will have little cooperation with others.D. One will learn more knowledge than in public or private school.19.What is the main idea of the passage?A. America’s home schooling.B. The advantage of home schooling.C. The disadvantages of home schooling.D. Differences between school education and home education.20.What is the author’s attitude to home schooling?A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. indifferentF二．七选五How to Make FriendsFriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leaves us without a friend 21 . But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.1.Associate with others.The first step to making friends is associating with other people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.2.Start a conversationStarting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. 22 You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.3. 23Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.4. Let it grow.It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as these would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend. 24 . The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.5. Enjoy your friendshipThe best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. 25 Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you.A. Be cheerful.B. Do things together.C. Do not wait to be spoken to.D. Try not to find fault with your friends.E. Making new friends comes easy for some people.F. For a friendship to develop you need to stay in touch.G. So you will need to give your friend time to react to you.三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）No one is born a winner.

邯郸市大名一中2020届高三英语上学期11月考试卷及答案解析

邯郸市大名一中2020届高三英语上学期11月考试卷第一节阅读理解（每小题2分，共20小题，满分40分）AHave you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes? You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the o utside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal patterns that get in your way.To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift given by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers’ gardens with some shedding tears of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.Our internal patterns decide whether each moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you don’t realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame the external situations in your life. Most people aren’t taught tha t emotion is a choice. And they aren’t taught how to change those lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in your external world.1．Why does the author mention the examples in Paragraph 1 ?A．To lead to the topic of this passage.B．To complain about imperfect life.C．To show common problems in life.2．How does the author prove his opinion?A．By giving examples. B．By doing an experiment.C．By telling a related story. D．By comparing other people’s opinions.3．What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?A．To step out of negative emotions.B．To pay attention to our internal world.C．To share our real emotions with others.D．To use different methods to change bad emotions.4．What does the author want to express through the passage?A．Our external world matters a lot.B．Our emotions can affect our health.C．Our internal patterns truly decide our emotions.D．Our experiences have a great influence on our emotions.BWhen Gitanjali Rao shared how she likes “finding solutions to real problems”, it was hardto imagine this dynamic 11-year-old girl could settle a problem that has escaped scientists for years.In just three months, Rao came up with a device（装置）that can replace the costly and lengthytests currently used to reliably determine lead levels in our fresh water. Inspired by the current litigation （诉讼）in Flint, Michigan, a case of water pollution from 2014 to 2015, Rao designed a new testing system that resulted in her being named America’s Top Young Scientist for 2017.Rao had been following the water problem for about two years. She was amazed by the number of people affected by lead pollution in water and wanted to do something to change this. Gitanjali spent months trying to convince local high schools and colleges to give her lab time to continue her experiment. At home, Gitanjali worked on her project in the “science room” she asked her parents to create for her. Rao has created a device that uses three parts: a cartridge, a Bluetooth reader and an app. To put it simply, the cartridge contains carbon nanotubes（纳米管）that react to lead. This reaction is then registered by the Bluetooth reader, which sends a signal to a mobile app that can tell you immediately if your water is safe to drink.Rao appropriately named the device Tethys after the Greek goddess of fresh water, and is hoping to make a little improvement to get the device on the market. While we may not be awareof any lead pollution present in our aging pipelines, lead poisoning can cause delays in physical and mental development. Wi th Rao believing that the “purpose of science is to make a difference”, her incredible invention could make a difference to millions of people in the United States.5. What do we know about Rao’s device?A. It’s cheap and quick.B. It’s cheap and inaccura te.C. It’s expensive and reliable.D. It’s portable and time-consuming.6. What made Rao have the idea of designing the device?A. Her parents’ suggestions.B. The name of the Greek goddess.C. Her interest in settling real problems.D. The water pollution litigation in Flint.7. What do the carbon nanotubes function as?A. Sending immediate signals.B. Recording the reaction results.C. Detecting the presence of lead.D. Showing the water quality results.8. What does the author think of Rao’s invention?A. It will lead Rao to make a fortune.B. It will help millions of Americans drink safe water.C. It will promote the development of science in America.D. It will soon settle the lead-polluted problem thoroughly.CImagine jet-setting from Tokyo to Paris, enjoying first-class travel, a four-course dinner and a city tour－all without leaving the ground. This is the future of air travel according to Japanese company First Airlines, which has used the power of virtual reality to create dream vacations.Passengers avoid the costly airport transfer, the baggage fees or busy airport terminal（航站楼）－and instead enjoy the privileges of business or first-class travel and an expensive tour of Paris－all while remaining motionless in Tokyo. As well as Paris, First Airlines also offers the virtual destinations of New York, Rome and Hawaii.After boarding, guests can settle down for the two-hour flight on their advanced Airbus seat －surrounded by decoration that is modeled on the inside of an aircraft, for maximum realism. There is flight service and VR, foods, music for every destination. Passengers will be served a delicious meal by air stewards, alongside drinks and other desserts. The menu depends on the destination of choice－Manhattan clam chowder and cheesecake for New York and salmon tartar and onion soup for Paris. After landing at the destination, guests can enjoy a 360-degree tour of the destination－all thanks to projection（投影）mapping and video.It makes for a supposedly stress-free vacation, perfect for those whose ability to travel abroad is limited by cost or health. Virtual reality is becoming increasingly present everywhere at all times in the world of travel--allowing travelers to appreciate the wonders of the world, all without leaving their house.At just 4,980 yen（$ 46）for business class and 5,980 yen（$ 56）for first class－these two- hour flights are far more affordable than their real-life flights. Tokyo citizens eager to experience First Airlines can book a trip on the website, with reservations currently being taken until May 2018.9. What can we learn about the future of air travel from Tokyo to Paris?A. It is high-flying.B. It is money-saving.C. It is power-wasting.D. It is time-consuming.10. When can passengers enjoy the beauty of the destination?A. Upon arrival.B. During the flight.C. After boarding the plane.D. On getting off the plane.11. The flight is perfect for travelers who .A. do little physical exerciseB. work under great pressureC. desire to travel a long distanceD. have health or money troubles12. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Scientific FantasyB. The Power of Virtual RealityC. Japan’s Virtual Air Travel AbroadD. Appreciation of the Global WondersDAs the parent of a 7-year-old boy, sometimes I feel like “no” is my most frequently said word. But if I look honestly at the big picture of my daily vocabulary, I probably would conclude that it actually contains too much “yes”. Saying yes means opening myself up to new experiences, inviting new or deeper relationships. But too much “yes” leaves any of us feeling anxious, overcommitted（过分受约束的）and powerless to set and maintain boundaries in our lives.This had been on my mind when The Book of No: 365 Ways to Say It and Mean It－and Stop People-PleasingForever came across my desk. The new edition of this decade-old book by psychologist Susan Newman is a must-read book for those of us who struggle to say “no” with authenticity, confidence and kindness.Newman calls people who feel forced to say yes all their way through life “people-pleasers”. The chief symptoms of this condition include associating helping others with your self-respect, holding expectations that you will care for others and feeling unwilling to state your own needs when a request comes your way. For people-pleasers, “yes is the path of least resistance and the way to avoid damaging your relationship with the asker,” Newman writes.The book offers brief dialogues for hundreds of scenarios in which “no” is the right answer, for reasons ranging from time management to financial pressures to emotional boundaries. Newman considers what came about among friends, at work, within families and in parenting. Reading through the scenarios, I realized they have some things in common－things that immediately started helping me improve my “no” skills.Do you think this book might be helpful to you?

This behavior is called “bedtime procrastination”(睡眠拖延症), and results from lack of self-control and our body clock.22 According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime because they couldn’t stop doing other trivial things (琐事), which were keeping them up in the first place.People who generally have trouble resisting temptations (诱惑) and following their intentions firmly are also more likely to delay going to bed. They find it hard to control themselves. 23Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime. Those who get up late aremore likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning. Night owls wouldgo to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for workand school. 24Therefore, if we want to cure our bedtime procrastination, the intention to go to bed earlieris not enough. 25 We should have a clear understanding that bedtime procrastination is a big problem. The choices we make could turn out to be pretty important for our health.A. Bedtime procrastination is a common problem.B. It will have extreme effect on our health sooner or later.C. Yet, lack of self-control is not the only thing to blame.D. Unfortunately, chances are that we don’t stick to our promise.E. It’s their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime.F. Biological processes need to support this intention.G. So we just need to take action to change our sleep model.第三节完形填空（每小题 1.5 分，满分30分）Experts say boredom is good for kids.

For a casual onlooker, this might be a very sad sight. But for Andy, it’s a real treasure. “I’ve been a junk hoarder (囤积者) for my whole life and I like fixing up what shouldn’t be thrown away. Around 200 old cars end up in this junkyard every week. Some of them are sold for parts, others get repaired, and still others are beyond repair.”His father Bobby started the business some 50 years ago and still spends every morning there. The father and son have very different approaches to their work. They got a Dean cab that was getting thrown away and that was the father’s project, which Andy did not want him to do. “He did basically the opposite of everything I told him and I think he did it just to make me mad. He dumped a ton of money into this car, but in the end it wouldn’t run.” Andy said jokingly.The unusual family business attracted the attention of a TV crew. That’s how the show Janka Empire came to be featured on a network of the Discovery Channel. This show, five years of shooting, five seasons and 60 episodes (集), is popular. “There are hundreds of junkyards throughout the United States. I think what’s interesting is that it is a family business. My father and I started the business and we joke very well back and forth and I think that’s what people like. The ca rs that end up at the junkyard come out with endless surprises. See, this was a junk car and we restored it with a blown motor. Yet I don’t get a chance to ride around it too often. Because despite its shining appearance, the noise of the engine is truly deafening and I worry my neighbors will not put up with it.”4. What does Andy seem to like about his junkyard?A. It is very large.B. It may be a bad sight.C. It is amazing and valuable.D. It is his life dreamland.5. What can we infer from the “one Dean cab” case?A. The father is ready to follow his son’s advice.B. The son is impatient and fed up with his father.C. The father and son get on well with each other.D. The father and son often disagree with each other.6. Why is the show Janka Empire popular?A. There are hundreds of junkyards in the United States.B. Bobby and Andy run their family business in an unusual way.C. The show is a series of 5 seasons and 60 episodes.D. Bobby and Andy can make the junk car attractive.7. Which of the following words can best describe Bobby and Andy?A. Devoted and creative.B. Funny and ridiculous.C. Gentle and respectable.D. Economical and wealthy.CEnvironmental experts warn that our planet is drowning in plastic.The world’s cities produce 2 billion tons of trash every year. By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise to 3 billion tons. The World Bank estimates that the largest amount of trash today, about 44 percent, is plastic. But we often have to buy packaged goods. And often that packaging is made of plastic.Now, that may be changing. A new environmentally-friendly shopping model was recently launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This shopping model, called Loop, aims to replace throwaway containers with reusable ones.Loop is the idea of Terra Cycle, an American-based recycling company. Its chief, Tom Szaky. told the Associated Press (AP) that “removing plastics from the ocean is not enough.” He said the point is to get away from single-use packages. Szaky said that Loop is the future of shopping. But it comes from an idea of the past.He compared it to the “milkman model” of the 1950s in the United States. Back then, someone brought milk to your doorstep in glass bottles and then left with empty bottles. These could be cleaned and used again. The result is zero-waste.Jennifer Morgan from the environmental non-profit organization Greenpeace also joined in the discussion about Loop at Davos. She said that “Greenpeace welcomes the aim of the Loop Alliance to move away from thr owaway culture ” But Morgan questioned whether companies worldwide are ready to change their business models.Loop is set to launch later this year in three eastern U.S. states, and also in Paris, France and some of the surrounding area. Then Loop plans to expand to the U.S. West Coast, Toronto, Canada and Britain by the end of this year or 2020.8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Provide background information.B. Advocate zero-waste lifestyle.C. Explain the reason for trash.D. Introduce a new topic.9. Where doe s the idea “Loop” come from?A. The World Economic Forum.B. Demand of some companies.C. Zero-waste model.D. The milkman model.10. Which countries is Loop expected to expand to by 2020?A. United States and Switzerland.B. Switzerland and Britain.C. Canada and Britain.D. France and Canada.11. What is the text mainly about?A. A new shopping model.B. The development of future city.C. The world’s environmental issue.D. The concerns of future shopping.DSlowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay, Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U. S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.“5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information tomodel its environment as it moves. It’s pull ing in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smart-phones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how smart gla sses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, in cluding various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.12. What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1?A. The lighting-fast speed of 5G.B. The expectation of 5G world.C. The difference between 4G and 5GD. The internet-connected devices in our life.13. What does the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Exhibition.B. Success.C. Symbol.D. Explanation.14. We can infer from the text that ________.A. 5G world won’t come without AR glassesB. 5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicleC. Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwideD. Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced15. What will the author probably tell us next?A. How to fully expand 5G coverage.B. Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.C. Why 5G isn’t concentrated in big cities.D. The importance of infrastructure construction.第二部分七选五（每题2分，共10分）Have you ever been in a situation where first aid was required? Did you know what to do?

河北省邯郸市大名2020届高三上学期第十周周测英语试卷

高三上学期第十周英语周测第一节阅读理解（每小题2分，共20小题，满分40分）AHave you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes? You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal patterns that get in your way.To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift given by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their be loved grandmothers’ gardens with some shedding tears of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.Our internal patterns decide whether each moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you don’t realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame the external situations in your life. Most people aren’t taught that emotion is a choice. And they aren’t taught how to change those lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in your external world. 1．Why does the author mention the examples in Paragraph 1 ?A．To lead to the topic of this passage.B．To complain about imperfect life.C．To show common problems in life.2．How does the author prove his opinion?A．By giving examples. B．By doing an experiment.C．By telling a related story. D．By comparing other people’s opinions.3．What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?A．To step out of negative emotions.B．To pay attention to our internal world.C．To share our real emotions with others.D．To use different methods to change bad emotions.4．What does the author want to express through the passage?A．Our external world matters a lot.B．Our emotions can affect our health.C．Our internal patterns truly decide our emotions.D．Our experiences have a great influence on our emotions.BWhen Gitanjali Rao shared how she likes “finding solutions to real problems”, it was hard to imagine this dynamic 11-year-old girl could settle a problem that has escaped scientists for years.In just three months, Rao came up with a device（装置）that can replace the costly and lengthytests currently used to reliably determine lead levels in our fresh water. Inspiredby the current litigation （诉讼）in Flint, Michigan, a case of water pollution from 2014 to 2015, Rao designed a new testing system that resulted in her being named America’s Top Young Scientist for 2017.Rao had been following the water problem for about two years. She was amazed by the number of people affected by lead pollution in water and wanted to do something to change this. Gitanjali spent months trying to convince local high schools and colleges to give her lab time to continue her experiment. At home, Gitanjali worked on her project in the “science room” she asked her parents to create for her. Rao has created a device that uses three parts: a cartridge, a Bluetooth reader and an app. To put it simply, the cartridge contains carbon nanotubes（纳米管）that react to lead. This reaction is then registered by the Bluetooth reader, which sends a signal to a mobile app that can tell you immediately if your water is safe to drink.Rao appropriately named the device Tethys after the Greek goddess of fresh water, and is hoping to make a little improvement to get the device on the market. While we may not be aware of any lead pollution present in our aging pipelines, lead poisoning can cause delays in physical and mental development. With Rao believing that the “purpose of science is to make a difference”, her incredible inve ntion could make a difference to millions of people in the United States.5. What do we know about Rao’s device?A. It’s cheap and quick.B. It’s cheap and inaccurate.C. It’s expensive and reliable.D. It’s portable andtime-consuming.6. What made Rao have the idea of designing the device?A. Her parents’ suggestions.B. The name of the Greekgoddess.C. Her interest in settling real problems.D. The water pollution litigation in Flint.7. What do the carbon nanotubes function as?A. Sending immediate signals.B. Recording the reaction results.C. Detecting the presence of lead.D. Showing the water quality results.8. What does the author think of Rao’s invention?A. It will lead Rao to make a fortune.B. It will help millions of Americans drink safe water.C. It will promote the development of science in America.D. It will soon settle the lead-polluted problem thoroughly.CImagine jet-setting from Tokyo to Paris, enjoying first-class travel, afour-course dinner and a city tour－all without leaving the ground. This is the future of air travel according to Japanese company First Airlines, which has used the power of virtual reality to create dream vacations.Passengers avoid the costly airport transfer, the baggage fees or busy airport terminal（航站楼）－and instead enjoy the privileges of business or first-class travel and an expensive tour of Paris－all while remaining motionless in Tokyo. As well as Paris, First Airlines also offers the virtual destinations of New York, Rome and Hawaii.After boarding, guests can settle down for the two-hour flight on their advanced Airbus seat－surrounded by decoration that is modeled on the inside of an aircraft, for maximum realism. There is flight service and VR, foods, music for every destination. Passengers will be served a delicious meal by air stewards, alongside drinks and other desserts. The menu depends on the destination of choice－Manhattan clam chowder and cheesecake for New York and salmon tartar and onion soup for Paris. After landing at the destination, guests can enjoy a 360-degree tour of the destination－all thanks to projection（投影）mapping and video.It makes for a supposedly stress-free vacation, perfect for those whose ability to travel abroad is limited by cost or health. Virtual reality is becoming increasingly present everywhere at all times in the world of travel--allowing travelers to appreciate the wonders of the world, all without leaving their house.At just 4,980 yen（$ 46）for business class and 5,980 yen（$ 56）for first class －these two- hour flights are far more affordable than their real-life flights. Tokyo citizens eager to experience First Airlines can book a trip on the website, with reservations currently being taken until May 2018.9. What can we learn about the future of air travel from Tokyo to Paris?A. It is high-flying.B. It is money-saving.C. It is power-wasting.D. It is time-consuming.10. When can passengers enjoy the beauty of the destination?A. Upon arrival.B. During the flight.C. After boarding the plane.D. On getting off the plane.11. The flight is perfect for travelers who .A. do little physical exerciseB. work under great pressureC. desire to travel a long distanceD. have health or money troubles12. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Scientific FantasyB. The Power of Virtual RealityC. Japan’s Virtual Air Travel AbroadD. Appreciation of the Global WondersDAs the parent of a 7-year-old boy, sometimes I feel like “no” i s my most frequently said word. But if I look honestly at the big picture of my daily vocabulary, I probably would conclude that it actually contains too much “yes”. Saying yes means opening myself up to new experiences, inviting new or deeper relationships. But too much “yes” leaves any of us feeling anxious, overcommitted（过分受约束的）and powerless to set and maintain boundaries in our lives.This had been on my mind when The Book of No: 365 Ways to Say It and Mean It －and Stop People-PleasingForever came across my desk. The new edition of this decade-old book by psychologist Susan Newman is a must-read book for those of us who struggle to say “no” with authenticity, confidence and kindness.Newman calls people who feel forced to say yes all their way through life “people-pleasers”. The chief symptoms of this condition include associatinghelping others with your self-respect, holding expectations that you will care for others and feeling unwilling to state your own needs when a request comes your way. For people-pleasers, “yes is the path of least resistance and the way to avoid damaging your relationship with the asker,” Newman writes.The book offers brief dialogues for hundreds of scenarios in which “no” is the right answer, for reasons ranging from time management to financial pressures to emotional boundaries. Newman considers what came about among friends, at work, within families and in parenting. Reading through the scenarios, I realized they have some things in common－things that immediately started helping me improve my “no” skills.Do you think this book might be helpful to you? It’s OK if the answer is “no”, but I do highly recommend it for your Positive Reading List shelf.13. Why does the author include his own personal experience in Paragraph 1?A. To blame himself.B. To show how to guide kids.C. To tell his likes and dislikes.D. To help recommend a book.14. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. How to deal with a request.B. Why askers turn to others for a favor.C. Why people-pleasers say “yes” too often.D. How to strengthen relationships with askers.15. What does the underlined word “scenarios” probably mean?A. Occasions.B. Processes.C. Adventures.D. Stories.16. What does the author advise us to do?A. Give no response to any demand.B. Learn to say “no” in a positive way.C. Keep open all channels of communication.D. Say “yes” constantly without feeling guilty.EMaths and Music An excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician． Tell others you are also a musician， however， and they will be hooked． Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity， there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in．I'm partly referring here to the "Mozart effect"， where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent， including at maths，than other children． It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular： we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort． But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest． If you want your brain to work better， you clearly have to put in hard work． As for learning to play the piano， it also takes effort．Surely a connection is quite reasonable． Both maths and music deal with abstract structures， so if you become good at one， then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other． If this is correct，it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability． It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis． To become better at one， you need to improve your fitness and coordination （协调）． That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other．Abstract structures don't exist only in maths and music． If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar． Yet we don't hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic ability． Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical， so it wouldn't be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar． Music， however， is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it． As such，it seems different from maths， so there wouldn't be any connection between the two．Let's see how we solve problems of the "A is to B as C is to D" kind． These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths． Consider the opening of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik． The second phrase is a clear answer to the first． The listener thinks： "The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord （和弦）； what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7？" Music is full of puzzles like this． If you are good at them， expectations will constantly be set up in your mind． The best moments surprise you by being unexpected， but we need the expectations in the first place．17．What does the author say about "Mozart effect"？ ______A．The goal of it was not carefully thought about．B．The findings from it gave people wrong information．C．The interest people showed in it was unexpected．D．The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective．18．The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3to show that ______ ．A．football and tennis are played in a similar way．B．certain skills may be developed through practice．C．music and maths have something in common．D．abstract structures bring benefits to various fields．19．We can infer from Paragraph 4that ______ ．A．language seems more like maths than music does．B．language is less appealing to learners．C．mathematicians are good at music learning．D．the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music．20．What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph？ ______A．How music differs from maths．B．Why musicians possess mathematical abilities．C．Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians．D．How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths．第二节七选五阅读（每小题 2 分，共5小题，满分 10 分）As is often the case, when we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often make a decision: “I’m going to bed earlier tomorrow!” we are so determined. 21 We are still absorbed in what we are doing without realizing it is already too late the next day. This behavior is called “bedtime procrastination” (睡眠拖延症), and results from lack of self-control and our body clock.22 According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice a week. They delayed b edtime because they couldn’t stop doing other trivial things (琐事), which were keeping them up in the first place.People who generally have trouble resisting temptations (诱惑) and following their intentions firmly are also more likely to delay going to bed. They find it hard to control themselves. 23 Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime. Those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtimethan those who wake early every morning. Night owls would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school.24Therefore, if we want to cure our bedtime procrastination, the intention to go to bed earlier is not enough. 25 We should have a clear understanding that bedtime procrastination is a big problem. The choices we make could turn out to be pretty important for our health.A. Bedtime procrastination is a common problem.B. It will have extreme effect on our health sooner or later.C. Yet, lack of self-control is not the only thing to blame.D. Unfortunately, chances are that we don’t stick to our promise.E. It’s their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime.F. Biological processes need to support this intention.G. So we just need to take action to change our sleep model.第三节完形填空（每小题 1.5 分，满分30分）Experts say boredom is good for kids.

Please Touch Children’s Museum This museum lies in Philadelphia. It offers Alice in Wonderland exhibits where young children can play with giant flowers and have tea parties. Kids can also play on musical instruments and babies can crawl on lily pads, which make musical sounds. The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis This museum lies in Indiana. It holds a fair share of dinosaur fossils (化石). There are many fossils like the teenage T. Rex, Bucky and many others in an 8,000-square-foot area. Around 10,000 man-made objects, including a 55-ton steam engine and a 33-foot-tall water clock, are there in the 365,000-square-foot area. It also offers activities like dinosaur building, camps and classes featuring space themes and other educational programs. Boston Children’s Museum This museum lies in Massachusetts. The exhibits here are of health, art, science, culture and environment. In this museum, children also learn about Japanese culture. Activities like Play Lab, New Balance Climb and The Recycle Shop bring out the creativity in children. National Museum of Play This museum, which lies in Rochester area of New York, has a wide collection of dolls, games, toys and other home crafts dating back to the 19th century. Here, educational tours include stories of machines and other toys. Kids can walk in Sesame Street exhibit and cook food at play or TV studios.

Children’s Museum of Houston - 2 -

This museum lies in Texas. Termed as the best playground for mind, this museum offers scores of activities for kids of every age. It even offers free family adventure events where families with their kids are encouraged to work on maths activities and games. Children also learn about broadcasting activities and preserving ecosystems. 1. One who has interest in environmental protection can choose to visit _______ . A. National Museum of Play or Children’s Museum of Houston B. Please Touch Children’s Museum or Boston Children’s Museum C. Boston Children’s Museum or Children’s Museum of Houston D. The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis or National Museum of Play 2. While visiting National Museum of Play, you can take part in _______.

Researchers. B. Students. C. Teachers. D. Parents. B British people are famous for apologizing in almost every situation.Whether they are apologizing for asking a question, for their bad weather or because they sneezed, they are probably the number-one nation for apologies. Brits pride themselves on their polite manners towards one another in public. As a result, they often use the word “sorry” quite a lot---even when they don't really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would start by saying “Sorry to bother you.
