Coffee, to be precise. It looks like a casual shot, but if you hit like, leave a comment, and tag a friend, you can get three different cups of coffee, for free.Altman is part of a growing trend of "micro-influencers". She has a small following — around 6,000 on Instagram(社交平台). Her going rate is $300 to $800 to promote something. She does some posts in exchange for free goods, as long as it’s stuff she believes in.As a micro-influencer she has a much closer relationship with her followers than a big social media star. "I’m just living a normal life and people relate to that," she says. "They just feel like I’m a friend of theirs."But it worries consumer rights groups. Several recent studies have found that young audiences are largely unable to understand when something is sponsored content.In some cases, it’s clear. When a big star takes to a social media to advertise Coca-Cola, for example, the assumption is that he or she’s probably getting paid to do so. And the posts are clearly labeled as ads, with the caption "advertisement" or "sponsored content".But what happens when an everyday person with just a couple thousand followers takes to social media to extol(颂扬) the virtues of a product? The motivations are not so clear cut. The problem with these social media posts i s that you don’t know whether it’s an ad or not.Altman is diligent about using those hashtags(标签). She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesn’t necessarily want to be a social media celebrity."With social media being so integrated into our everyday lives, we have this unique opportunity thatI don’t think anyone has ever had before where we can each be our own brand," Altman says.24.What does a micro-influencer do according to the passage?A. Give enough likes.B. Post to promote sales.C. Recommend some comments.D. Design advertisements.25. What makes consumer rights groups feel worried?A. Sponsored ads content.B. Ads with caption on posts.C. The unclear motivations of the posts.D. The increasingly growing number of audiences.26. How does Gretchen Altman feel about being a micro-influencer?A. Annoyed.B. Delighted.C. Ambitious.D. Depressed.27. Which of the following can be the best title?A. Instagram Advertising: Do You Know It, When You See ItB. To be a Micro-influencer or to be a Big StarC. We Can Each Be Our Own Top BrandD. Hills Bros. Coffee, Your CoffeeCWhen it comes to work, workers, and jobs, much of the concern of the modern age boils down to the fear that we're witnessing the final stage of the game, and that there will be nowhere for humans to withdraw as machines take over the last few tasks. The most recent example comes from the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Is there no area of human experience that can't be replaced by AI? And if not, what is left for humans to do except the tasks involved in taking care of the machines?At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs —jobs that make the most of workers' natural abilities and where the work provides the worker with motivation and work-life balance. More importantly, good jobs support workers in learning by doing—and, in so doing, deliver benefits on three levels: to the worker, who gains in personal development and job satisfaction; to the organization, which reforms as staff find new problems to solve and opportunities to pursue; and to the community as a whole, which harvests the economic benefits of hosting positive organizations and workers. This is what makes good jobs productive for the organization, as well as engaging and fulfilling for the worker.Does the ongoing advance of AI threaten to get rid of all the learning, creativity, and meaning that make a job a good job? Certainly, some have blamed technology for just such an outcome. Headlines today often express concern over technological innovation(革新) resulting in bad jobs for humans, or even the complete disappearance of certain professions. Some fear that further technology advancement in the workplace will result in jobs where employees are being asked to work in split times or for longer periods over more days.The problem here isn't the technology; rather, it's the way the technology is used — and, more than that, the way people think about using it.28. What is the passage mainly about?A. The human fears in the age of AI.B. Human experiences were replaced by AI.C. How to take care of the AI machines.D. The relations among work, workers, and jobs.29. What jobs are supposed to be good according to the passage?A. The ones that provide basic benefits.B. The ones that require no economic return.C. Those that don't bring new problems to workers.D. Those that offer chances to progress professionally.30. How do news media respond to the development of AI?A. Supportive.B. Optimistic.C. Negative.D. Ambiguous.31. What will the author probably talk about next?A. The proper attitude towards AI.B. The future jobs humans will do.C. The possible application of AI in the future.D. The approaches to handling the issues of AI.DIn the picture Landscape with Diogenes by the 17th century French artist Poussin, the ancient philosopher Diogenes is described casting away his last possession, a drinking bowl. He realizes hedoesn’t need it after seeing a youth cupping a hand to drink from a river. The significance for us is that D iogenes’ spiritual descendants (后代) known as “new minimalists” are now everywhere, if not as completely possession-free as he was.There are hundreds of websites praising the virtues of tidy living. Everyone is trying to cut down on things these days. People are trying to reduce their carbon footprints, their waistlines, and their monthly outgoings. What’s more, there’s a general fear that people are becoming choked by their possessions, and this is fueled by the knowledge that the leading hobby these days seems to be shopping. It’s true, sales of e-readers and e-books go beyond those of paperbacks. As a result, the need for bookshelves is cut out.However, today’s new minimalists don’t urge us to burn our books and destroy our CDs, but just make sure we have them as digital files. So, for example, I have digitised versions of some of my old vinyl LP (黑胶) records and haven’t, as yet, stimulated myself to take the LPs to the nearest charity shop – and I admit I shall probably go on keeping them. Technology has gone beyond our dreams and there is always the doubt that our hard drives will crash and all will be lost. Far more important, however, is the fact that our memories are so inseparably tied to our possessions that we can’t get rid of stuff. We are not exactly suffering withdrawal symptoms(症状) as we try to break our addiction to objects. We are just acquiring new stuff, which means we can bin or recycle our old stuff.I’m happy to have found another website which seems to solve a whole lot of problems at once – a thriving online advice service offering storage solutions. The interior(室内的) designer responsible for this does not suggest getting rid of stuff, but rather recommends buying more stuff such as elegant flexible baskets or colourful lidded containers to hide the first lot of stuff from view. I love this philosophy –convince yourself you’ve got your desire for possessions under control, without having to lose a thing. After all, we aren’t merciless enough to follow Diogenes and cast away all our possessions.32. Why does the author mention a picture by the artist Poussin?A. It illustrates a modern trend.B. It describes a wise philosopher.C. Its meaning is only now becoming clear.D. Its message is not as simple as it appears.33. The author believes minimalism may not succeed m ainly because of people’s ______.A. resistance to media pressureB. laziness in the face of changeC. lack of faith in digital hardwareD. strong bond with physical objects34. According to the author, people invest in smart new storage in order to_____.A. satisfy their desire to make purchasesB. make attractive additions to their homesC. provide a temporary solution to a problemD. ease their conscience over having too many things.35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Less is MoreB. Low Carbon Is an AttitudeC. Treasure What You HaveD. Psychology of Overconsumption.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，共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。
2020年高三英语三模试卷及答案
2020年高三英语三模试卷及答案第一部分阅读（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isn’t an either / or one, although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also insists that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central elements of America’s educational system at all levels. Both areas are the key to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. Under these circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem; “major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run. Indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily.Moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their 4th and 5th jobs, as there’s little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers. The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible. The ability to take advantage of every available tool and insight—picked up from science, arts, and technology—to solve the problems of the future, and seize the opportunities, will be helpful to them and the nation.1. What does the latest congressional report suggest?A. STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.B. The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.C. The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’ spiritual life.D. Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.2. What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?A. Their interest in relevant subjects.B. The academic value of the courses.C. The quality of education to receive.D. Their chances of getting a good job.3. What does the author say about the so called “soft” subjects?A. They benefit students in their future life.B. They broaden students’ range of interests.C. They just improve students’ communication skills.D. They are essential to students’ healthy growth.BI dropped out of college after my first year. Three years later, I returned to college after having been stuck in a dead-end job, working at a department store. I saw school as my way out. But I quickly found myself up against the same problems that had caused me to give up before. I was in over my head with college-level algebra (代数) and a heavy workload of reading and writing homework. In addition, I was still unsure of my career (职业) direction。

Conclusion/Summary六、书面表达（满分25分）Possible version 1:An increasing number of Chinese people are setting up individual official WeChat accounts with the aim of expressing themselves and gaining popularity. So far, only a minority of them have successfully built popular “se lf-media” brands. (35 words)From my perspective, I’m in strong favor of setting up an individual official account on WeChat. To begin with, as a way to sell ideas to others, there is no denying that it’s an excellent tool for self-promotion, by which we can increase our personal impact on social life. Additionally, such an account offers a good chance to make friends with many like-minded people, with whom we can share opinions and enjoy cooperation. Without effective cooperation, we could not achieve real success in current society.To summarize, only when we take advantage of an individual official account appropriately can we make it a great helper in our social life. (144 words)Possible version 2:An increasing number of Chinese people are setting up individual official WeChat accounts with the aim of expressing themselves and gaining popularity. So far, only a minority of them have successfully built popular “self-media” brands. (35 words)Evident as the advantages of setting up personal WeChat account are, I opt for an objection to such practice. First and foremost, WeChat account is designed as a platform for individuals to voice their personal opinions and express their emotions. However, with the intention of expanding their popularity and earning money, some people post remarks encouraging hatred and violence, depressing outlook and even vicious videos, which will tremendously exert negative impact on its subscribers and social stability. What’s worse, in order to maintain his account’s popularit y, one must set aside much time and energy, thus inevitably affecting one’s work and life.In short, to limit the drawbacks of setting up WeChat account to a minimum, we should take cautious attitude.

Since you’re my best friend, I guess I can tell you.W: Yes, I’m ready.M: Well, my rent was due yesterday, and I couldn’t pay it.W: Really?

Look at this remote control.W: I’m sure it does. But that’s still a lot of money for a television. I didn’t think you watched TV that much.M: Well, I don’t. Do you think I ought to return it? If I do it within a week of purchase, I can get my money back.W: Yes. And you know what? I think you ought to read up on TV first and choose the make and model you want before you go to the store. That way, you’ll get what you want.Text 10People in the United States honor their parents with two specific days: Mother’s Day, on the Second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. During these days, Americans show love and respect for their parents. Parents raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give their children love and care. These two days give us a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with childcare.These two special days ar e celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day, people often wear carnations. And families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor picnics for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children can make them in school. Many people makecards for their own parents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”.。

A【解析】【原文】As an HR manager who has been engaged in recruitment for 30 years, I would like to give you some tips on how to perform better in a job interview. First and foremost, arrive 15 minutes early prior to your interview. An interview is even more stressful than normal if you’re rushing to get there on time. Second, send a positive message through your body language. Shake hands firmly, but only if a hand is offered to you first. Always maintain eye contact and listen carefully. If you do not understand a question, ask the interviewer to either repeat or clarify the questions for you. Give honest, direct answers. However, be sure that your responses are focused on the questions and highlight the skills related to the job. Keep in mind that your responses are your sales pitch. You’re selling the interviewer on yourself as the best candidate for a second interview and for the job, so be sure you focus on yourrelevancy. Last but not least, towards the end of the interview, let the hiring manager know that you think the job is an excellent fit and that you are very interested in the job. It’s appropriate to ask what the next step in the hiring process will be and when you might expect to hear.Questions:If you have an interview at 9:00, when should you arrive according to the speaker’s advice?Which one of the following is TRUE according to the speaker’s advice? If you are the interviewee, what should you do towards the end of the interview according to the speaker’s advice?Questions are based on the following passage.14.A. Drinking a lot of alcohol.B. Going shopping in stores.C. Gathering around tables for hotpot.D. Eating fried food and barbecued meat.15.A. Movies are available to people in Shanghai at midnight.B. People in Hangzhou attach great importance to dinner.C. A total of nine online platforms provide data for the report.D. People in Beijing are most likely to order Starbucks in the afternoon.16.A. People’s eating habits in d ifferent regions of China.B. Th e impact of mobile payment on Chinese people’s lifestyle.C. The difference of nightlife among residents in Chinese cities.D. The pressure of urban life brought by the nightlife activities.【答案】14. D 15. A 16. C【解析】【原文】A new report driven by what people in eight Chinese cities buy on their phonesafter the night falls reveals just how different the nightlife is among Chinese urban dwellers. According to data gathered from Alibaba Group on payment services across eight platforms－including Alipay, food delivery unit Ele.me, as well as the video-streaming site Youku－Chinese people go to bed at 1 a.m. on average. Additionally, it also shows Beijingers order Starbucks after 6 p.m. the most, go to bed late and rise at the earliest times. Residents in Shanghai purchase movie tickets and pay the most hospital visits at midnight, and East China’s Nanjing city has the most bookstore visits. As for the night food orders, they start coming in at 9 p.m. with orders for fried chicke n and barbecued sticks of meat ranking as people’s favorites. Down southwest in Chengdu, people spend the most on dinner, gathering around tables for hotpot. Citizens in Hangzhou City in eastern China prefer drinks over food, with its highest sales of alcohol at night. Mobile payment has been an integrated part of people’s lives in China, as consumers can place a food order, shop online and also pay utility bills on their smartphone screens－no matter what time it is. However, the active nightlife also reflects the pressure of urban life. Questions:What is the favorite nightlife activity of people in Nanjing?Which of the following can be inferred from the report?What is the report mainly about?Questions are based on the following passage.17.A. People can drive their cars at a high speed on the PRT system.B. Each car on the PRT system can carry 300 passengers at a time.C. The cars running on the PRT system can be controlled by a wire.D. The power that sets the cars on the PRT system running comes from the sun.18.A. The traffic jam in Masdar City.B. Building more roads with wider lanes.C. Solutions to traffic jams.D. Encouraging people to cycle more.19.A. Taxi drivers.B. Shop assistants.C. Teachers and students.D. The elderly and the sick.20.A. The benefit of cycling lies in that more people can travel at the same time.B. The man thinks that building more roads with wider lanes is not a perfect solution.C. The woman disagrees with the second expert because riding is practical on rainy days.D. The woman agrees with the first expert because it is very expensive to build more roads.【答案】17. D 18. C 19. A 20. B【解析】【原文】M: The Nightly News made a special program on how to deal with traffic jams in big cities. Did you watch it?W: Not yet. Would you please tell me something about it?M: Certainly. The program began with an introduction of the PRT system in Masdar City. Controlled wirelessly and powered by solar energy, 300 highspeed driverless cars each carrying three passengers were running on it. Then, three experts were invited to work out a few possible solutions.W: Really? What are those solutions?M: Well, the solution proposed by the first expert involves engineering. This means building more roads with wider lanes so that more cars can travel at the same time. W: Hmm, don’t you think more roads may actually encourage more traffic? Besides, the cost is so high.M: You hit the point. The second expert criticized that solution and proposed that the government should encourage people to cycle more because this mode of transport has obvious health benefits and helps to reduce air pollution.W: Yeah. But is it practical in every climate? What’s more, riding can prove dangerous in heavy traffic.M: I agree with you. The solution put forward by the last expert is to increase taxon fuel so that people are more likely to think carefully about using cars. Do you think it really works?W: Not exactly. It can discourage people from driving to work to some extent. But how about people “driving for work” ? They will lose their jobs.M: All right. It seems that each of the solutions has its own advantages and disadvantages.Questions:Which one of following statements is TRUE about the PRT system in Masdar City? What did the experts in the TV program mainly discuss about ?If the government increases the tax on fuel, who will directly fall victim to it? According to the dialogue, which one of following statements is TRUE?

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree. Were the birds out on the ice ducks or geese? There was only one way to find out.So on a chilly January evening last year, the two friends ventured（冒险）onto the frozen pond near their homes in Frankfort, Illinois, ___21___（get）a better look. First they cast a rock onto the ice to test it, then they stepped on it. ___22___（convince）the ice would hold their weight, Ant hony took a few steps, then… FOOMP. He crashed through the seemingly frozen surface. There was no sound, he just fell instantly.Cruz rushed to help his terrified friend. FOOMP—the pond swallowed him too. Cruz managed to lift ___23___ out of the frozen water and onto a more solid section. He then cautiously worked his way toward Anthony. But the ice ___24___（not hold），a nd he fell in again. This time, he couldn’t get out. The boys were up to their necks in icy water and quickly losing feeling in their limbs. There was not much chance ___25___ they could free themselves from the trouble. Cruz was sure he was going to die.Anthony’s older sister had seen the boys ___26___（fall）into the pond and started screaming for help. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the grocery store, heard her. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he grabbed a nearby buoy（浮标），kicked off his shoes, and ran into the water, ___27___（chop）his way through the ice with free fist. Lavin made his way ___28___ Cruz and Anthony and pull them back to land. They were taken to the hospital, where doctors discovered that their five-minute stay in the water ___29___（lower）their body temperature nearly ten degrees.Fortunately, the boys have fully recovered, ___30___ they are still a little awestruck（惊叹的）by their fearless neighbor.“Just to think,”says Cruz,“I f he hadn’t been there, I would have died.”Section BDirections：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.American fashion from the ___31___ of Parisian design. Independence came in tying, wrapping, storing, and rationalizing that wardrobe. These designers established the modem dress code, letting playsuits and other active outfits suit casual clothing, allowing pants to enter the wardrobe, and prizing rationalism and utility in dress, in contradiction to dressing for an occasion. Fashion in America was logical and ___32___ to the will of the women who wore it. American fashion addressed a democracy, whereas traditional Paris-based fashion was prescriptive and imposed on women, willing or not.In an earlier time, American fashion had also followed the dictates of Paris, or even ___33___ specific French designs. Designer sportswear was not modeled on that of Europe, as “modem art” would later be; it was ___34___ invented and developed in America. Its designers were not high-end with supplementary lines. The design objective and the business commitment were targeted to sportswear, and the distinctive traits were problem-solving ingenuity（独创性）and realistic lifestyle applications. Ease of care was most important: summerdresses and outfits, in particular, were ___35___ cotton, readily capable of being washed and pressed at home. Closings were simple, practical, and ___36___, as the modem woman depended on no personal maid to dress her. American designers ___37___ the freedom of women who wore the clothing.Many have argued that the women designers of that time ___38___ their own clothing values into a new style. Of course, much of this argument in the 1930s-40s was advanced because there was little or no experience in designing clothes on the basis of utility. But could utility alone ___39___ the new ideas of the American designers? Fashion is often regarded as a pursuit of beauty, and some cherished fashion’s relationship to the fine arts. What the designers of the American sportswear proved was that fashion is a design art, answering to the demanding needs of service. Of course these practical, ___40___ designers have determined the course of late twentieth-century fashion. They were the pioneers of gender equity, in their useful, adaptable clothing, which was both made for the masses and capable of self-expression.Ⅲ. Reading comprehensionSection ADirections：For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Face shape lets AI spot rare disordersPeople with genetic syndromes（综合症）sometimes have revealing facial features, but using them to make a quick and cheap diagnosis an be ___41___ given there are hundreds of possible conditions they may have. A new neural network that analyses photographs of faces can help doctors ___42___ the possibilities.Yaron Gurovich at biotechnology firm FDNA in Boston and his team built a neural network to look at the overall impression of faces and ___43___ a list of the 10 genetic syndromes a person is most likely to have.They ___44___ the neural network, called DeepGestalt, on 17,000 images correctly labelled to match more than 200 genetic syndromes. The team then asked the AI to ___45___ potential genetic disorders from a further 502 photos of people with such conditions. It included the correct answer among its list of 10 responses 91 per cent of the time.Gurovich and his team also ___46___ the neural network’s ability to distinguish between the different genetic mutations（变异）that can lead to the same syndrome. They used photographs of people with Noonan syndrome, which can result from mutations in any one of five genes. DeepGestalt correctly identified the genetic source of the physical appearance 64 per cent of the time. It’s clearly not ___47___, but it’s still much better than humans are at trying to do this.As the system makes its assessments, the facial regions that were most helpful in the determination are ___48___ and made available for doctors to view. This helps them to understand the relationships between genetic make-up and physical appearance.The fact that the diagnosis is based on a simple photograph raises questions about ___49___. If faces can reveal details about genetics, then employers and insurance providers could, in principle, ___50___ use such techniques to ___51___ against people who have a high probability of having certain disorders. ___52___, Gurovich says the tool will only be ___53___ for use by clinicians.This technique could bring significant ___54___ for those who have genetic syndromes. The real value here is that for some of these ultra-rare diseases, the process of diagnosis can be many, many years. This kind of technology can help narrow down the search space and then be confirmed through checking genetic markers. For some diseases, it will cut down the time to diagnosis dramatically. For others, it could perhaps add means of finding other people with the disease and, ___55___, help find new treatments or cures.41. A. convincing B. tricky C. reliable D. feasible42.

A. by contrast B. in turn C. in addition D. on the contrarySection BDirections：Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）The two roadsIt was New Year’s night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake. When he cast them on the earth, where a few more hopeless people besides himself now moved towards their certain goal—the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regret. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant, his heart sorrowful, and his old age short of comforts.The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads—one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and poisonous snakes hissed and crawled.He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, "Oh youth, return! Oh my father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and I'll choose the better way!" But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life together with him. But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this New Year's night.The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents' early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: "Come back, my early days! Come back!"And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream, which he had on New Year's Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the roadwhich leads to the peaceful and sunny land.Those who still linger on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain. "O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!"56. In the 3rd paragraph, the man cried painfully because ___.A. all the hopeless people were moving towards deathB. he had lost forever the chance to take the right roadC. His parents and the happy days of his youth were goneD. he refused to take the toad leading to a deep dark cave57. What happened to the man before his sudden realization?A. He was at his father’s fune ral farewell.B. He was enjoying the New Year’s eve.C. He was wandering at the entrance to life.D. He was having a dream of his life in old age.58. We can infer from the story that ___.A. the man’s childhood friends led a joyful life like himB. the man still had the opportunity to chose the right wayC. both the man’s parents passed away when he was youngD. the man’s father was quite strict with his son before death59. The passage is mainly written for ____.A. a new driver getting lost on a detourB. a concerned mother with two children to raiseC. an experienced teacher with a good reputationD. a hesitating young adult facing a tough life choice（B）“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo”is a real sentence.How?Let’s break it down, starting with a simple phrase:Monkeys from Pisa bully deer from London.OK, admittedly it’s an implausible scenario, but it’s a grammatically fine sentence. In English we can use place names as adjectives, so let’s shorten the sentence a little.Pisa monkeys bully London deer.Now we’ll throw in some giraffes from Paris to even the score with those mean monkeys.Pisa monkeys, whom Paris giraffes intimidate, bully London deer.English is peculiar in that you can omit relative pronouns, e.g.,“the person whom I love”can be expressed as “the person I love.”L et’s do that to this sentence.Pisa monkeys Paris giraffes intimidate bully London deer.This kind of pronoun removal can be a little more difficult to grasp when written than when spoken. Saying the above sentences with pauses after monkeys and intimidate can help. Now we need to replace both of the verbs, intimidate and bully, with their（admittedly uncommon）synonym, buffalo.Pisa monkeys Paris giraffes buffalo buffalo London deer.A gain, pauses help keep the meaning in mind: Put a pause after monkeys and the first buffalo. Now we’ll replace all the worldwide place names with the second-largest city in New York State, Buffalo.（T hat’s Buffalo’s tallest building, One Seneca Tower, below.）Buffalo monkeys Buffalo giraffes buffalo buffalo Buffalo deer.You can probably guess what the next step is. But before we replace all the animals with the common name for the American bison, note how the capital letters in the above sentence help you keep the place names separate from the other usages of the word. OK, here goes:Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.One last thing to note: This exceptional sentence is possible because the plural of the animal buffalo is buffalo, not buffalos, otherwise all the words wouldn’t be identical.English is strange and wonderful!60. How should we read the following sentence with proper pauses?A. Buffalo buffalo Buffalo / buffalo buffalo / buffalo Buffalo buffalo.B. Buffalo buffalo / Buffalo buffalo buffalo / buffalo Buffalo buffalo.C. Buffalo buffalo Buffalo / buffalo buffalo buffalo / Buffalo buffalo.D. Buffalo buffalo / Buffalo buffalo / buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.61. What is the key element to make this sentence possible?A. The relative pronouns in English can be omitted.B. In English, place names can be used as adjectives.C. The city has the same name with a kind of American bison.D. The word buffalo has the same form of singular and plural.62. Where can you probably find this article?A. Wandering the EarthB. Linguistics Around UsC. Popular Animal ScienceD. Collins English Grammar（C）The idea that richer countries are happier may seem intuitively obvious. However, in 1974, research by economist Richard Easterlin found otherwise. He discovered that while individuals with higher incomes were more likely to be happy, this did not hold at a national level. In the United States, for example, average income per person rose steadily between 1946 and 1970, but reported happiness levels showed no positive long-term trend; in fact, they declined between 1060 and 1970. These differences between nation-level and individual results gave rise to the term“Easterlin paradox”: the idea that a higher rate of economic growth does not result in higher average long-term happiness.Having access to additional income seems to only provide a temporary surge in happiness. Since a certain minimum income is needed for basic necessities, it’s possible that the happiness boost from extra cash isn’t that great once you rise above the poverty line. This would explain Easterlin’s findings in the United States and other developed countries. He argued that life satisfaction does rise with average incomes—but only in the short term. Recent research has challenged the Eastern paradox, however. In 2013, sociologists Ruut Veenhoven and Floris Vergunst conducted a study using statistics from the World Database of Happiness. Their analysis revealed a positive correlation between economic growth and happiness. Another study by the University of Michigan found that there is no maximum wealth threshold at which more money ceases to contribute to your happiness:“If there is a satiation point, we are yet to reach it.”T he study’s findin gs suggested that every extra dollar you earn makes you happier. With so much debate about the relationship between money and happiness, it’s clear that happiness itself is a complex concept and depends on many factors.According to psychologists Selin Kesebir and Shigehiro Oishi, happiness also depends on how your income compares to the people around you. They argue that a country’s economic growth only makes its citizens happier if wealth is evenly distributed. In emerging countries with high income inequality—where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer—average happiness tends to drop because only relatively few people benefit from the economic prosperity. This suggests that governments should consider implementing policies to ensure more equal distribution of wealth. The happier people are, the more productive they are likely to become, thus leading to improved economic outcomes at the individual and national levels.There is continuing debate about the link between wealth and happiness, with arguments both for and against the notion that richer countries are happier. However, it is clear that wealth alone isn’t enough to make us happy. The effect of income inequality on happiness shows that happiness is a societal responsibility. We need to remember the positive effects of generosity, altruism, and building social connections. Perhaps our focus should be less on how much money we have, and more on how we use it.63. According to the passage, Easterlin Paradox refers to ____.A. the fact that the more money, the happier people will feelB. the suggestion that money should be given the top priorityC. the question how economic outcomes are distributed nationwideD. the opinion that higher income doesn’t necessarily generate happiness64. The word“satiation”in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to“__”.A. satisfactionB. controversialC. centralD. sensitive65. What is the major reason for people’s unhappiness related to money?A. Money not enoughB. Money not fairly distributedC. Rich people richerD. Unequal money paid for equal work66. Which of the following might be best title of this passage?A. It’s all relativeB. Easterlin paradoxC. The economics of happinessD. Rising income, rising happinessSection CDirections：Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

At the top of the list is the notion that intelligence is measured by your ability to solve complex problems; to read, write and compute at certain levels; and to resolve abstract equations quickly. ___67___ It encourages a kind of intellectual prejudice that has brought with it some discouraging results. We have come to believe that someone who has more educational merit badges, who is very good at some form of school discipline is "intelligent. " Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients who have all of the properly lettered certificates. A truer indicator of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day and each present moment of every day. ___68___Problem solving is a useful help to your happiness, but if you know that given your inability to resolve a particular concern you can still choose happiness for yourself, or at a minimum refuse to choose unhappiness, then you are intelligent. You are intelligent because you have the ultimate weapon against the big N.B.D.—Nervous Break Down.“Intelligent”do not have N. B. D. ’s because they are in charge of themselves. ___69___You can begin to think of yourself as truly intelligent on the basis of how you choose to feel in the face of trying circumstances. The life struggles are pretty much the same for each of us. Everyone who is involved with other human beings in any social context has similar difficulties. Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human. ___70___ But some people are able to make it, to avoid immobilizing depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences, while others collapse or have an N. B. D. Those who recognize problems as a human condition and don’t measure happiness by an absence of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know; also, the most rare.Ⅳ. Summary writingDirections：Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Blowing a Few TopsEver stopped to consider the upside of volcanic eruptions? It’s not all death, destruction and hot liquidrock—scientists have a plan to cool the planet by simulating one such eruption.Solar geoengineering involves simulating a volcano by spraying aerosols（气溶胶）into the atmosphere. When they combine with oxygen, droplets of sulfuric acid（硫酸）form. These droplets reflect sunlight away from Earth, cooling the planet. All good in theory, but the consequences are largely unknown and a few could be disastrous. In a study recently published in Nature Communications, researchers led by Anthony Jones, a climate scientist from the University of Exeter, found that using this technology in the Northern Hemisphere could reduce the number of tropical winds hitting the U.S. and Caribbean. But there’s an annoying exchang e: more winds in the Southern Hemisphere and a drought across the Sahel region of Africa. That’s because the entire climate system is linked—disrupting one region will invariably affect another. How would a nation react if another was causing its weather to get much worse? Would that be an act of war?There is, however, a case for using solar geoengineering on a global scale. Jones says it could be used to“take the edge off”the temperature increases scientists are predicting. It could be used while the world searches for more effective strategies.The study also highlights a far bigger problem with solar geoengineering: its complete lack of regulation.“T here’s nothing that could stop one country just doing it,”Jones says.“You only need about 100 aircraft with three flights per day. It would cost $1 billion to $10 billion per year.”He adds,“I t’s deeply disturbing that we have this technology that could have such a massive influence on the climate, yet there’s just no regulation to stop countries or even organizations from doing it.”Jones cautions that there is much about the climate system we do not understand, as well as far more that will need to be done before solar geoengineering is considered safe—or too dangerous to even discuss.V. TranslationsDirections：Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 建议老年人晚上不要喝浓茶，以免睡不着。

To reply.BTeenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.I know exactly how you feel. Life as a teenager can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to observe and analyze your surroundings. However, you, still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. To top it all, the hormonal(荷尔蒙的)imbalance in your body can really mess you up emotionally. I have been there. I was in it for 6 years exploring what life is about.As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my chores on time. And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my assignments, study for the upcoming test and clean my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while striking a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, quoting from Benjamin Franklin, "Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today."Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems as a teenager are because we hate doing things. We'd rather go and have fun than sit down and take care of our duties and responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won't let you go out with friends because you haven't cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven't finished your assignments.24. What does the writer mainly want to tell us in paragraph 1?A. Teenage life is tough.B. Teenagers can’t enjoy life.C. Teenage life is changeable.D. Teenagers should learn more.25. What plays a key role in making teenage life hard according to the writer?A. The adolescent changes.B. The lack of life experience.C. The failure of concentration.D. The unfamiliar surroundings.26. How did the writer feel about her teenage life?A. It was difficult.B. It was simple.C. It was enjoyable.D. It was boring.27. What does the writer advise teenagers to do?A. Abandon their friends.B. Go and have fun.C. Complete their homework.D. Shoulder the burden.CYellow is usually the color of happy, joyful emotions(情感). But according to a new study, not all people associate the sunshiny shade with good feelings.To find out what factors might play a role, researchers tested a new hypothesis(假设): What if peoples physical surroundings affect their feelings about certain colors? For example, if someone lived in cold and rainy Finland, would they feel differently about the color yellow from someone who lived near the Sahara Desert?The researchers looked at color-emotion data from an ongoing international survey(调查)of 6,625 people in 55 countries. The survey asked participants to rate 12 colors on how closely they were associated with feelings including joy, pride, fear, and shame.The researchers paid particular attention to the data for yellow, and analyzed how different factors-including hours of sunshine, hours of daylight, and the amount of rainfall-lined up with the emotions people reported for the color. The two best predictors of how people felt about yellow were the annual amount of rainfall, and how far they lived from the equator(赤道).Overall, people were more likely to associate yellow with joy when they lived in rainier countries that lay farther from the equator, researchers reported in the Journal of Environmental Psychology. In Egypt, the likelihood of yellow being associated with joy was just 5.7%, whereas in chilly Finland it was 87.7%. In the United States, with its mild climate and amber waves of grain, people's yellow-joy association levels were between 60% and 70%.The researchers also checked whether associations changed with the season-whether, for example, people in a certain country liked yellow more in the winter than they did in the summer. They found that opinions about color remained fairly constant year-round-even when the weather changed, the data on yellow-joy associations were as good as gold.28. What did the researchers do before the survey?A. They went to Finland.B. They made an assumption.C. They studied certain colors.D. They analyzed some data.29. Which of the following affects people's feelings about yellow?A. The changeable seasons.B. The length of daytime.C. The geographic position.D. The amount of snowfall.30. How did the researchers carry out the survey?A. By interviewing participants.B. By studying the data collected.C. By travelling around the world.D. By looking at color combinations.31. What can be the best title of the text?A. Finland: A Country Admiring Yellow.B. Yellow: Associated with Joy Conditionally.C. Color: An Important Role in Good Feelings.D. Color-emotion Data: Collected Internationally.DRoyal Dutch Shell is launching a﹩300 million and forestry program, at a time when an increasing number of oil companies are putting money in carbon offset(碳补偿)plans to meet climate goals. The company will spend the money over the next three years on projects to store carbon, including large forests in the Netherlands and Spain, and will start offering motorists the option of purchasing carbon offsets when they buy petrol at the pump.The executives of the company explained that these carbon offset projects were a new business opportunity for Shell, as well as a way to meet its climate targets. "We believe that over time we will be building a business, because these carbon credits will become more valuable as carbon becomes more limited,”they said. Shell recently decided to cut its net carbon footprint (碳排放)by 2-3 percent in five years, which includes emissions(排放)from the products it sells. The company plans to produce carbon credits from the forestry projects, then sell these credits on to customers buying its oil and gas products, or apply the credits to its own operations to lower its carbon footprint.Plants absorb carbon dioxide as they grow and restoring forests and other natural areas is considered one of the simplest ways to store carbon. However, the voluntary market for carbon credits based on forestry projects has its critics, as projects in developing countries can be hard to monitor. Shell's move has also been criticized by some environmentalists. They worried that there was a risk of "greenwash" when companies invested in forestry projects. "There is an entire debate about whether forestry projects truly reduce emissions or not," they said, pointing out that planting in one area could cause deforestation(滥伐森林)to another.Shell said it would rely on the third party to ensure its forest program to meet the V oluntary Carbon Standard and strict biodiversity requirements. Mark Lewis, head of climate change investment research at BNP Paribas, said, "Planting trees to offset emissions, as far as it goes, is a step in the right direction.”32. What is popular among oil companies these days?A. Studying climate changes.B. Launching forestry programs.C. Working out carbon offset plans.D. Attracting motorists to buy their petrol.33. How will Shell Company make profits from its carbon offset projects?A. By quitting the emissions of its products.B. By reducing its carbon footprint by a quarter.C. By limiting the oil used by its own operations.D. By putting carbon credits it produces on the market.34. What concerns some environmentalists about forestry project?A. The projects can't really stop carbon emissions.B. The projects are hard to monitor in poor countries.C. The projects may lead to deforestation in other forests.D. The projects haven't met strict biodiversity requirements.35. What does the underlined word "greenwash" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Discount.B. Cheat.C. Decline.D. Change.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。
