Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.TeaChina is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC.

A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China.

I started my 60s as a bodybuilderand now I'm beginning my 70s as a writer,” she said. “People usually limit themselves by age, and it's discouraging. With age, I remain young at heart.”Dr Susan started bodybuilding at an age when most are considering retirement though she was an athlete from an early age. As a child in Venezuela, she took to gymnastics and later graduated with a physical education degree.Then she obtained a master's degree in education and later a Ph. D. in Adult Personal Development. She taught at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for 16 years, while raising two daughters.“I started bodybuilding when I met Steve Pfiester, a gym guy who practiced yoga. He invited me to his gym and offered to train me. I started in January and in June he took me to my first competition in Bradenton, Florida,” she recalled.Dr Susan's photos show that she has devoted long hours to taking care of her body. But she also develops her mind and spirit. On any given day, she gets up at 3 am to read books. At 4:30 am she's out to walk three miles and run another three. This is followed by yoga and a swim at the beach while the sun rises. After writing her journaland working on her book between 8 and 10 am, she hits the gym for at least two hours. “I don't lose track of time,” she said.Dr Susan's war on ageism has rubbed off on her two daughters, both in their early thirties. “They both take care of their bodies and minds. If you give them a good foundation as a parent, you know that they will always come back to their roots. I tried to remind myself of that during their difficult teen years.”8.

She will set up a fitness foundation.B. She will soon return to retirement.C. She often thinks of her teenage years.D. She sets an example to her daughters.DIn the world of Chinese archaeology(考古学), a sign of a dig's importance is the sight of Zhou Mingsheng at work. A field technician who has worked at archaeological sites all aroundChina. Master Zhou iscredited with the gentlest touch in his profession. Born into a farming family, he is a “national-level craftsman” with a talent for using simple tools to get relics(遗物) that wouldcrumblein other hands, says his current boss, Wang Xu, director of an archaeological site at Shuanghuaishu, a Neolithic(新石器时代的) settlement near the Yellow River in the central province of Henan.It is not beauty that attracts visitors to Shuanghuaishu. At 5,300 years old, the settlement is the work of a culture too simple to have left behind many buried treasures. The single most precious find, to date, is a finger-length sculpture of a silkworm. Nor is the setting lovely: an area surrounded by deafening insects, between a highway and two power stations. Rather, the site's importance is historical. For since the birth of Chinese archaeology in the 1920s, it has been inseparable from claims thatChinahas the oldest unbroken civilisation on Earth.Leading archaeologists say that the site has the right combination of location, age and distinctive cultural elements to be the capital of an early Chinese kingdom. That would make it a bridge betweenChina's written history and the era of the Yellow Emperor, who is said to rule over these central plains almost 5,000 years ago, though many foreign scholars doubt his existence. Chinese media call the site proof ofChina's 5,000 years of history.Foreigners complain about a lack of written records, Mr. Wang notes. Perhaps they are missing symbols that will one day be understood, for instance in patterned pottery. Outsiders “can't keep using Western standards to apply to Chinese ruins,” he argues.12. What does the underlined word “crumble” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Break.B. Start.C. Wait.D. Shine.13. Why does Shuanghuaishu attract visitors?A. It has appealing scenery.B. It has various precious treasures.C. It is of great historical significance.D. It is easily accessible.14. What is Mr. Wang's attitude towards foreigners’ view?A. Unconcern.B. Disapproving.C. Supportive.D. Not mentioned.15. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Chinese history amazes the world.B. Chinese archaeology catches on.C. China follows its tradition.D.Chinadigs its past.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2020-2021学年上海市宝山中学高三英语一模试题及答案
2020-2021学年上海市宝山中学高三英语一模试题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AChildren under the age of 18 will be allowed up to three hours per week to play video games, according to a notice issued by China's National Press and Publication Administration. Online game companies are required to provide services to minors — from8 to 9 p. m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays — as a way to safeguard their physical and mental health. Children are playing more and more online games these days. Is it time to limit their online gaming time? What role do parents have? Readers share their opinions.RizlaredOnline games are addictive, but if children are taught how to manage in a sensible and responsible manner then it is no longer a threat(威胁).To achieve this, parents need to set examples for not being glued to their phones. Teaching is and always will be the best solution to such problems.AndrewGood policy. By limiting time spent on online games, kids can spend time doing more useful things to develop their potential. They can go outside and run, jump and swim instead of sitting on a couch at home and playing with a smart phone.AdamIt is often seen that parents argue with children over cellphones. Most parents can hardly set and enforce the time limit for its daily usage. Some forcibly take away their cellphones, but it will ruin trust and relationship. Even worse, it will make their kids hate them.PinkExcessive(过度的）gaming is purely a waste of time and energy for minors and has a negative effect on both physical and mental health. The gaming industry should not put profit- flaking interests as its priority (优先事项) . They should act in a socially responsible way toprovide an environment for children to ensure their well-being and development.LaurenThere would be a loophole(漏洞). Children could use their parents’ or other adults’ IDs to avoid real-name registration, thus making it impossible to put this policy in effect. Parents ly need to strengthen guidance andsupervision to keep their children from gaming addiction.1. What should kids do according to Andrew?A. Play online games.B. Play with a smart phone.C. Study all the time.D. Go in for outside activities.2. What does Pink advise the gaming industry to do?A. Pay attention to its profit.B. Focus on kids’ health.C. Be responsible for kids’ surroundings.D. Persuade kids lo play more games.3. What role do parents have according to the passage?A. They keep hold of their phones.B. They set examples for their kids.C. They limit their kids’ time.D. They blame kids for addiction.BI come to theUnited Statesten year ago. I would always say that I was trying to study, but there were always things like work and my kids that would not allow me to start.Now I realized that those were only excuses. What stopped me was that I was afraid to start studying again. I always believed I would learn by myself.One day, however, my son told me that he was sad because his friends would come over and I didn’t understand them because I didn’t speak English. He was also sad because I could never help him with his homework. That same day, I told myself, “Rocio, you have to start believing in yourself and you will see you can make it.”The next day, I went downtown to look for a big banner (横幅) in front of the school which said that they offered classes for adults. I came in to see if I could join, but the classes were closed already. That night I took the kids to the movies, and on the way back, I told them we would take a new route. I ended up getting lost. That’s the way I foundChaffeyCollege. The following Monday, I went to ask for information. They told me that summer school was starting that week.That’s how I started studying English last summer. It is difficult, but I have had great rewards. My daughter had to write a story for school. It was about the female they most admired and why . She wrote that I was the person she most admired because I had started going to College. I will never forget this.4.

What really changed the author’s life was she believed in herself.D. The author wrote that she was the person her son most admired.CWe interviewed two people, one who went from the country to the city and one who did the opposite.Janet Lincoln is a salesgirl who moved to St. Louisfive years ago. Here’s what Janet told us:“Five years ago I used to live in a small town called Lemon Falls. I grew up and went to high school there. After I graduated I worked in a supermarket. Lemon Falls had a population of about 800 people, and I knew every single one of them. They all knew everything about me, too. You couldn’t do anything without everyone in town knowing about it. The first chance I got I moved to St. Louis and I love it. I don’t know as many people now as I used to, but that’s OK. I have a few good friends, and I see them when I want to. I kind of like beinganonymous. I’d never go back to Lemon Falls.”Troy Henson had the opposite experience. He and his wife, Darla, and their two children moved from St. Louis to Bloomfield three years ago. Here’s what Troy told us:“The best thing we ever did was get out of St. Louis. Don’t get me wrong; St. Louis is as good a place as any other city, I suppose — if you like cities, that is. We don’t. Both Darla and I grew up in St. Louis. We met at college and got married. Then the kids came along and life got difficult. We didn’t know any of our neighbors. We both had good jobs, but it always seemed like there was never enough money. That all changed when we moved to Bloomfield. I don’t make as much money as I used to, but then we don’t have as many expenses as we did. Weknow our neighbors. Life is good.

It creates a safe environment.DA maverick describes a person who thinks independently. A maverick refuses to follow the customs or rules of a group to which he or she belongs. In the US, a maverick is often admired for his or her free spirit, although others who belong to the maverick’s group may not like the maverick’s independent ways.But where did the word “maverick” come from?Early in the 1800s, a man named Samuel Augustus Maverick settled down in Texas, which was a place of wide-open land, rich soil, cattle ranches(牛场) and cowboys. As the years passed, Mr. Maverick increased his property(财产) in Texas. Before long, he owned huge pieces of land that were good for raising cattle. But he had no cattle. He wasn’t a rancher.One day, a man came to Samuel Maverick to pay him an old debt. But the man didn’t have enough money. So he offered Mr. Maverick 400 head of cattle. Mr. Maverick accepted them, but he didn’t really want them. He simply put the cattle on his land to eat and care for themselves.It was not long before the cows reproduced(繁殖). The calves grew and had more calves. Soon, hundreds of cows and calves moved freely across Samuel Maverick’s land. They also moved across the land of nearby ranch owners.It was a tradition among ranchers in the West to put a mark of ownership on newborn calves. They burned the name of their ranch into the animal’s skin with a hot iron. The iron made a clear mark called a “brand”. Brands allowed ranchers to easily see who owned which cattle.Samuel Maverick refused to brand his calves. “Why should I?” he asked. If all the other cattle owners branded theirs, then those without a brand belonged to him.And this is how the word “maverick” entered the American language. It meant a calf without a brand. As time passed, the word “maverick” took on a wider meaning. It came to mean a person who was too independent to follow even his or her own group.12. Why did the man give Samuel Maverick 400 head of cattle?A. To get some money.B. To return what he owed him.C. To buy some of his land.D. To ask him to raise them.13. How could the ranchers easily know who the cattle belonged to?A. Through the brand on the cattle.B. Through the name of the cattle.C. Through the appearance of the cattle.D. Through the land on which the cattle stayed.14. What can we learn about Samuel Augustus Maverick from the text?A. He was born in Texas.B. He took good care of all his cattle.C. He didn’t really want to accept the cattle.D. He followed the tradition of ranchers in the West.15. What is the text mainly about?A. How to become an independent thinker.B. “Maverick” means a calf without a brand.C. The life story of Samuel Augustus Maverick.D. How the word “maverick” got into American English.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020届上海市宝山中学高三英语三模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AWhat are you waiting for? A new series of movies shown this year can’t be missed. Have you enjoyed them already?Frozen IIFrozen was the highest grossing (票房) animated film ever. In Frozen II Elsa, Anna, Olaf and Krist left off Arendelle to seek thesource of Elsa’s icy magic. Although the millions of children who loved the first film are older now, they might give it a reception.Last ChristmasA festive romantic comedy, Emilia Clarke stars in Last Christmas as Bridget Jonesy , a shop assistant, whose life in London is a mess, and Henry Golding as the eligible bachelor(黄金单身汉)who tidies it up. The film’s director, Paul Feig, and co-writer, Emma Thompson, promise that the film is worth expecting.A Beautiful Day in the NeighborhoodTom Hanks stars in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood as the only American celebrity(名人) more famous than he is. As the host of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood for more than 30 years, Fred Rogers is a legend of pre-school children’s television, which appeals to a large audience.Charlie’s AngelsHollywoodaction movies starring women are rare. But have you seen a movie starred, written and directed by women, too? Charlie’s Angels is one of the first. A reboot (翻拍) of the 1970s TV series, not to mention the two films from 2000 and 2003, the new version is directed by Elizabeth Banks. She also plays Bosley, one of the female detectives who are employed by Charles Townsend to go on global adventures.1. Which moviebecame the most popular cartoon film this year?A. Frozen II.B. Last Christmas.C. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.D. Charlie’s Angels.2. Which character works on a TV station?A. Krist.B. Emilia Clarke.C. Fred Rogers.D. Bosley.3. Which action movie was directed and starred by a woman?A. Frozen II.B. Last Christmas.C. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.D. Charlie’s Angels.BThe idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recentlystruck a chord withmany young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes (纷争) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”4. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean?A. Warned.B. Criticized.C. Touched.D. Amused.5. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young?A. Improvements in living conditions.B. Growing pressure from family and social life.C. Increasing material possessions from families.D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.6. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group?A. Understanding.B. Intolerant.C.Supportive.D. Unclear.7. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text?A. They never really drop their responsibilities.B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.D. They would rather escape than take challenges.CA student had to get his long hair cut off in a middle school in GuangDong Province. It was talked a lot among teachers and students.In fact, all schools have their own rules. In most schools, boy students are not allowed to have long hair while girls are not allowed to dye their hair. And most school rules say that students should wear their school uniforms at school. And students must obey these rules so that they can get healthy development at school.But some students have disagreements. They think that boy students having long hair doesn't mean that they are not good students. They want to show their own personality. They think that they would look cool too if they had long hair and the hairstyles like their favorite stars.A girl student thought that she would look much more beautiful if she had brown hair. So she had her dark hair dyed brown one day. When she went back to school the next day, the teacher was very angry with her. She said that she worked hard at her lessons and did well in every subject. She just didn't know why the teacher didn't allow her to dye her hair while women teachers can.It is not wrong for teenagers to love stars' hairstyles or wear their favorite clothes. However, a school has its own rules for all the students to obey so that the school can be in good order. Students should not break the rules at school.8. What aren't boy students allowed to do in most middle schools according to this passage?A. To have long hair.B. To wear uniforms.C. To like famous stars.D. To show their own personalities.9. Why did the girl make her hair brown?A. Because she wanted to be cool.B. Because she thought that she would look much more beautiful.C. Because she wanted to make her teacher angry.D Because women teachers dyed their hair.10. What does the writer think of these school rules?A. The students should be against them.B. They are bad for students.C. They can make schools in good order.D. They can't make students grow healthily.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Hair styles and clothes.B. Schoolboys and schoolgirls.C. Students and famous stars.D. School rules.DIn Colombia a group, named WebConserva, is carrying out a project in the San Lucas Mountains with the help of coffee growers.The San Lucas area is one of the most unexplored places in Colombia, which is home to many thousands of species of animals and plants. Yet gold mining and coca farming have dealt a blow to its ecosystem. To limit additional development in the San Lucas area, the group helps coffee growers by linking them with processors from around the country.Colombia has more different kinds of living things than any other country except neighboring Brazil. In 2016, the Colombian government signed a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ending years of civil war. As a result, more land became accessible for use, with deforestation(毁林) coming along. Government information shows that in 2017, almost 220,000 hectares of forest were destroyed compared to around 124,000 hectares in 2015.To date, the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants, which costs about $77,000 dollars a year. WebConserva hopes that, in time, 200 families will be included. At that level, 20,000 hectares of untouched forest could be protected. In San Lucas, the families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals from the forests. In return, they receive $ 250 to $ 300 per 125 kilograms of coffee, an enviable amount there. Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part. His new coffee plantation(种植园) makes a barrier between cattle farms and forests where wild animals like the jaguar live and hunt. In this way, he doesn't have to kill wild animals to protect his cattle.Barajas said that pulling down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against his will. Now he feels that growing coffee lets him be astewardof the land. "I'm taking care of the environment, the forest and the animals," he said.12. Why does WebConserva set up the project?A. To help local farmers make money.B. To expand areas of coffee growing.C. To link processors with coffee growers.D. To conserve biodiversity in the Mountains.13. What happened after Colombia’s civil war was over?A. Colombia helped many needy families.B. Colombia lost lots of areas of forests.C. Colombia started to save damaged forests.D. Colombia became more peaceful than Brazil.14. Which is probably a function of Barajas's coffee plantation?A. A method of protecting cattle and wildlife.B. A substitute for hunting of wild animals.C. A barrier between man and wild animals.D. A shelter for cattle against human hunters.15. What does the underlined word "steward" mean in the last paragraph?A. Farmer.B. Master.C. Guardian.D. Explorer.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

They use a computer program that runs photos of animal tracks through an algorithm （演算法）. Then the program makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the program itself needs “training ”.It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity （圈养）. As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “knows.” As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization called . The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit and follow the instructions on the site to send your photo.Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then you should not go there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced attracking.56.How does the writer begin this article about WildTrackA.By discussing the software that it employsB.By praising its recent efforts to raise fundsC.By explaining how and when it was foundedD.By summarizing different opinions about it57.According to this article, which animals are WildTrack mainly interested inA.Those which cause a threat to human settlementsB.Those which are now at risk of becoming extinctC.Those which have been illegally kept as petsD.Those which disappeared from the Earth long ago58.What does this article talk about in detailA.

A technology firm is trying to make that future a reality today withan affordable robot called Artibo. Artibo is small. Itsbrain, or Al block, is a cube （立方体） that fits in yourhand. That block connects to a motor block and two siliconwheels. Assembled, it ' s about four inches tall.Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program tomove around. Artibo 'dess igners want it to providecompanionship and be a resource for learning coding. With itscamera, microphone and connection to a cloud-based Al, itcan respond to voice commands or function like a walkie-talkie （对讲机）. It talks like a chatbotand can tell bedtime stories. It can even help you learnother languages!Artibo isn 'qtu ite ready for stores yet, though. It'psa rt of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGC product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one usingnothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas （画布） of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of code blocks from a programming menu, link them together, an d watch how your robot responds. In Artibo ' scase coding doesn ' t stop there. Unlike other similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allow you to write your own code. So as your familiarity with coding increases, you won lose interest in ' tArtibo.60.According to the passage, the purpose of developing Artibo is .A.helping people learn anything they want and providing companionshipB.providing a robot that can move, accompany and help people learn codingC.chatting with people, telling bedtime stories and supplying languagesD.helping people raise money on line and creating programmable robots61.What can be concluded from the passageA.Programming robots is not really complicated.B.Programming robots is advanced like a rocket.C.Programming robots can be used in smartphones.D.Programming robots used in toys is not new at all.62.The passage implies that .A.People can programme various orders even without code blocksB.Anyone can control Artibo freely unlike other programming toysC.T he more familiar you 're with coding, the more you 'll like ArtiboD.Artibo is popular in the world especially among young people（C）5G, the fifth generation of wireless, promises lightning-fast download speeds and could lay the foundation for high-tech advancements like self-driving cars. But like many new technologies, it's causing concern about potential health issues.The first generation of wireless introduced mobile phones, and 2G brought texting. 3G laid the groundwork for smartphones, and 4G allowed video streaming and more. 5G is expected to download data 20 times faster than its predecessor （前任）, and some experts argue it could be much faster.Too much of a good thingIt ' s not just about streaming data faster, it about streaming m'osre of it. On a 5G network, a user can download a movie instantly, and data will flow between connected objects without delay. The amount of data people use on mobile devices has gone up 40 times since 2010 and is only expected to increase. 5G networks are wireless companies attempts' to satisfy that demand.Uncertain effectsThe untested nature of 5G, and the extensiveness of its infrastructure （基础设施）, has some worried that the increased exposure could have serious health effects.Wireless safety advocates （倡议人士） have called for more studies on the effects of the exposure, and one group is trying to stop the installment of 5G networks in Chicago ' s neighborhoods.The federal government has safety rules that wireless companies must obey that limit human exposure to radio waves, including frequencies used with 5G.Wireless industry association CTIA says typical exposure to 5G infrastructure is comparable to Bluetooth devices and baby monitors, and there is no scientific evidence of negative health effects.Still, assurances from government agencies and industry operators are not enough for Chicago resident Judy Blake. Additional studies on 5G health impact's lsikely wouldn soothe' het r either. She said, “ People can ' t choose whether or not t oe xbpeosed to this radiation. ”“I don 't need another test. The only test thast going to happen' now is people 's lives,”saidBlake, 67.Only time will tellThough little is known about the long-term health impact of the millimeter waves that 5G operates on, some research has shown short-term exposure could be problematic, said Joel Moskowitz, a public health expert at the University of California at Berkeley.The eyes and sweat glands （腺体） are among several body parts studies have shown could be at risk, Moskowitz said. Insects and plant life could also be affected, he added.The millimeter waves used in 5G are absorbed by the upper layers of skin, potentially causing the temperature of the skin to rise, said Suresh Borkar, senior lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The effects of extended rises in skin temperature “become a big unknown, ” he said.This isn't the first time people will come into contact with millimeter waves: They're also used in airport body scanners, said Lav Varshney, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Still, it 's the first time the high-frequency waves will be used on such a scale, and concerns surrounding new technologies are common throughout history.“When cars first started replacing horse-drawn carriages, people were afraid of what the health impacts of traveling at high speeds would be,”Varshney said. “There has always been occurrence of this fear. ”63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passageA.5G is faster but not safe to human beings.B.5G features faster and more in transferring.C.5G can meet people 's any demand in theory.D.5G just makes little impact on people 's health.64.What can be inferred from the passagelimeter waves certainly affect people 's health seriously.limeter waves will cause the skin 's temperature to rise.C.It 's obvious that many scientists object to 5G technology.D.It 's hard to say whether millimeter waves do damage to health.65.The word soothe in the last but 7 paragraphs most probably means .A.to make somebody feel calm or less worried.B.t o make somebody feel happy or more excited.C. t o make somebody feel disappointed or less satisfactory.D. t o make somebody feel inspired or more energetic.66. The best title for this passage is .A. 5G 's Advantages and DisadvantagesB.

And as an entrepreneur, dependent on how much your boss decides to give you; it 'lims ited only by the successof your business. And speaking of bosses, not having a supervisor is another major advantage of becoming an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs are often independent thinkers who want to be in charge of projects, rather than having others tell them what to do.

It’s a great event for first-timers because everyone is cheered on with enthusiasm no matter how long it takes to cross the finish line. The time limit for the full marathon is now at a pace of minutes per mile, or 6 hours and 33 minutes, but in the past it had an open time limit. They promise you’ll still receive your medal if you fall behind the pace, but you have to finish using the sidewalks.TCS New York City MarathonAs the world’s biggest marathon, the TCS New York City Marathon attracts over 50,000 people to the Big Apple each November. The time limit is generous eight and a half hours, but participants must move to the sidewalk if they drop below 15-minute mile.The famous course snakes through five boroughs (行政区) of the city and crosses five bridges to end in Central Park.Honolulo MarathonThe marathon attracts over 30,000 participants each December. The race starts on Ala Moana Boulevard in downtown Honolulu and snakes its way along the breathtaking Hawaiian coastline to the finish line in Kapiolani Park.

However, the organizers allow everyone to finish and have waiters on hand until 4: 00 pm.Boston MarathonThe marathon is held in May every year. For this event running isn’t allowed as the city streets aren’t closed off. Participants must instead make their way along sidewalks under the guidance of event organizers and city police.

It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above inEnglandandScotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besidesthe named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn’t. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be: 47% for racket（球拍）sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.In addition to this, the study didn’t find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity in a week.Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead? Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.Being active helps you feel happier and live longer. So, the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term.4. How is the study conducted?A. By doing comparative experiments.B.

From an early age, he had a fascination with exploration and discovery. When he was six, his teacher, Madame Sambin, told him stories about her husband, who disappeared while traveling the world on a ship 30 years before. She told her class that he was like Robinson Crusoe, a fictional castaway who lived on a desert island. Verne would later write stories about similar characters.In 1847, Verne was sent by his family to study law at a university in Paris, but he preferred to write novels, poems and plays. After graduating, he realized he wanted to write adventure stories based on science and technology.Thishad never been done before, but Verne was sure that it would be a success. His first story, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in September 1862. His career lasted for more than 40 years, during which time he wrote more than 60 gripping stories.To begin with, Verne wrote positive and optimistic books. Many of these were to be his most popular creations. Although some included fantastical elements, they were usually based in scientific fact, making them believable. These happy stories weren’t to last. As he got older, Verne became less confident in the idea that science and technology were always good for the planet. His books started to include more scientists who used technology for their own-sometimes evil - purposes. Verne died on 24 March 1905, but new books continued to be published until 1919. These stories were based on ideas Verne had written about while he was still alive, but featured new characters and plots created by his son, Michel.In the 20th century, his books were translated into more than 140 languages and several successful film versions were released. His creations have been recognized as an inspiration for many scientists and inventors. Many of the futuristic ideas from his most popular books have since come true.8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?A To show Verne’s discovery.B. To offer the background information of Verne.C. To tell of the adventure of Sambin’s husband.D. To explain how Verne began his writing career.9. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in Paragraph 2:A. Writing novels, poems and plays.B. Studying law.C. Graduating from university.D. Wring adventure stories.10. What can be learned about Verne’s late works?A. They covered happy elements.B. They were unbelievable stories.C. They revealed Verne’s doubt on science.D. They were partly written by Berne’s son.11. Which of the following best describes Verne?A. Talented and productive.B. Popular and caring.C. Optimistic and generous.D. Friendly and honest.DSport is not only physically challenging, but can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress canbe physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves.Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work forchildren. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults with youngsters’ performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.12. An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is_____________.A. to make sport less competitiveB. to increase their sense of successC. to reduce their mental stressD. to make sport more challenging13. According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that_____________.A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it enables them to find faults in themselvesC. it can provide them with valuable experiencesD. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves14. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes_____________.A. believing that criticism does good to their early developmentB. without realizing criticism may destroy their selfconfidenceC. in order to make them remember life’s lessonsD. so as to put more pressure on them15. According to the passage parents and coaches should_____________.A. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportB. help children to win every gameC. train children to cope with stressD. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sport第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

computer program that runs photos of animal tracks through an algorithm （演算法）．Then the program makes the same observations as a tracker would，allowing scientists to know where individual animals go．However，the program itself needs "training"．It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity （圈养）．As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild，the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it "knows．" As the program becomes more accurate，Wild Track hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species．Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization called naturalist．org．The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone．After finding a clear track，place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint and another along the left side．Below the footprint，place a note containing your exact name and the date．Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track，take a photo showing the footprint，rulers and note．Later，visit inaturalist．org and follow the instructions on the site to send your photo．Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in captivity but also those living in the wild．In wild places，you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment．If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you，then you should not go there alone．Instead，go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced at tracking．（1）How does the writer begin this article about WildTrack？A．By discussing the software that it employsB．By praising its recent efforts to raise fundsC．By explaining how and when it was foundedD．By summarizing different opinions about it（2）According to this article，which animals are WildTrack mainly interested in？A．Those which cause a threat to human settlementsB．Those which are now at risk of becoming extinctC．Those which have been illegally kept as petsD．Those which disappeared from the Earth long ago（3）What does this article talk about in detail？A．A list of locations worth exploringB．A strategy for acquiring equipmentC．A warning not to engage in huntingD．A technique containing several steps（4）What does the article suggest doing in wild areas？A．Admiring the wild landscapeB．Preparing well for wild weatherC．Leaving wild creatures aloneD．Consuming a diet of wild plants18．（6分）Science fiction paints a future where robots play an important part in everyday life．A technology firm is trying to make that future a reality today with an affordable robot called Artibo．Artibo is small．Its brain，or Al block，is a cube （立方体）that fits in your hand．That block connects to a motor block and two silicon wheels．Assembled，it's about four inches tall．Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program to move around．Artibo's designers want it to provide companionship and be a resource for learning coding．With its camera，microphone and connection to a cloud﹣based Al，it can respond to voice commands or function like a walkie﹣talkie （对讲机）．It talks like a chatbot and can tell bedtime stories．It can even help you learn other languages!Artibo isn't quite ready for stores yet，though．It's part of a crowdfunding project．Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people．Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project．Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production．Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new．LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998．Since then，programmable robots have become one of the best﹣selling units in the LEGC product line．Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science，but anyone can program one using nothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks．Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas （画布）of a computer screen．Just drag and drop a variety of code blocks from a programming menu，link them together，and watch how your robot responds．In Artibo's case coding doesn't stop there．Unlike other similar programmable toys，Artibo will also allow you to write your own code．So as your familiarity with codingincreases，you won't lose interest in Artibo．（1）According to the passage，the purpose of developing Artibo is．A．helping people learn anything they want and providing companionshipB．providing a robot that can move，accompany and help people learn codingC．chatting with people，telling bedtime stories and supplying languagesD．helping people raise money on line and creating programmable robots（2）What can be concluded from the passage？A．Programming robots is not really complicated．B．Programming robots is advanced like a rocket．C．Programming robots can be used in smartphones．D．Programming robots used in toys is not new at all．（3）The passage implies that．A．People can programme various orders even without code blocksB．Anyone can control Artibo freely unlike other programming toysC．The more familiar you're with coding，the more you'll like ArtiboD．Artibo is popular in the world especially among young people19．（8分）5G，the fifth generation of wireless，promises lightning﹣fast download speeds and could lay the foundation for high﹣tech advancements like self﹣driving cars．But like many new technologies，it's causing concern about potential health issues．The first generation of wireless introduced mobile phones，and 2G brought texting．3G laid the groundwork for smartphones，and 4G allowed video streaming and more．5G is expected to download data 20 times faster than its predecessor （前任），and some experts argue it could be much faster．Too much of a good thing？It's not just about streaming data faster，it's about streaming more of it．On a 5G network，a user can download a movie instantly，and data will flow between connected objects without delay．The amount of data people use on mobile devices has gone up 40 times since 2010 and is only expected to increase．5G networks are wireless companies' attempts to satisfy that demand．Uncertain effectsThe untested nature of 5G，and the extensiveness of its infrastructure （基础设施），has some worried that the increased exposure could have serious health effects．Wireless safety advocates （倡议人士）have called for more studies on the effects of the exposure，and one group is trying to stop the installment of 5G networks in Chicago's neighborhoods．The federal government has safety rules that wireless companies must obey that limit human exposure to radio waves，including frequencies used with 5G．Wireless industry association CTIA says typical exposure to 5G infrastructure is comparable to Bluetooth devices and baby monitors，and there is no scientific evidence of negative health effects．Still，assurances from government agencies and industry operators are not enough for Chicago resident Judy Blake．Additional studies on 5G's health impacts likely wouldn't soothe her either．She said，"People can't choose whether or not to be exposed to this radiation．""I don't need another test．The only test that's going to happen now is people's lives，"said Blake，67．Only time will tell？Though little is known about the long﹣term health impact of the millimeter waves that 5G operates on，some research has shown short﹣term exposure could be problematic，said Joel Moskowitz，a public health expert at the University of California at Berkeley．The eyes and sweat glands （腺体）are among several body parts studies have shown could be at risk，Moskowitz said．Insects and plant life could also be affected，he added．The millimeter waves used in 5G are absorbed by the upper layers of skin，potentially causing the temperature of the skin to rise，said Suresh Borkar，senior lecturer in theDepartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology．The effects of extended rises in skin temperature "become a big unknown，" he said．This isn't the first time people will come into contact with millimeter waves：They're also used in airport body scanners，said Lav Varshney，assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana﹣Champaign．Still，it's the first time the high﹣frequency waves will be used on such a scale，and concerns surrounding new technologies are common throughout history．"When cars first started replacing horse﹣drawn carriages，people were afraid of what the health impacts of traveling at high speeds would be，" Varshney said．"There has always been occurrence of this fear．"（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．5G is faster but not safe to human beings．B．5G features faster and more in transferring．C．5G can meet people's any demand in theory．D．5G just makes little impact on people's health．（2）What can be inferred from the passage？A．Millimeter waves certainly affect people's health seriously．B．Millimeter waves will cause the skin's temperature to rise．C．It's obvious that many scientists object to 5G technology．D．It's hard to say whether millimeter waves do damage to health．（3）The word soothe in the last but 7 paragraphs most probably means．A．to make somebody feel calm or less worried．B．to make somebody feel happy or more excited．C．to make somebody feel disappointed or less satisfactory．D．to make somebody feel inspired or more energetic．（4）The best title for this passage is．A．5G's Advantages and DisadvantagesB．The Development of WirelessC．5G Health ConcernD．5G Future PredictionSection CDirections：Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. 20．（8分）A．You may find these colorful symbols unavoidable as they've become a language of their ownB．People can send emoji instead of writing words to participate in a conversationC．No wonder emoji use is becoming more and more popular in various fieldsD．Today，emoji use is a standard feature in digital communicationE．But not all the people show interest in emoji especially elder onesF．Unlike most words，there isn't a certain definition for each emojiWhether you're on social media or sending a text message，you encounter emoji （表情符号）regularly．（1）．While most people's enthusiasm for emoji increased in the smartphone era，Japan has been crazy for emoji since 1999．Designer Shigetaka Kurita invented emoji for a Japanese phone company 20 years ago as a way to make it easier to express ideas in a short message．The word emoji can be translated as "picture character" from Japanese．After the release of Kurita's emoji，rival phone companies in Japan began creating their own emoji．Many emoji on our digital devices today are imported from Kurita's original set of emoji．Japan's love for emoji continued well into the 2000s before the rest of the world discovered them．Apple Inc．officially introduced an emoji function in their software in 2011．Soon，other phone companies from around the world made it easier for their customers to use emoji．（2）．As you scroll （滑动）through your phone，you can see the wide selection of available emoji．More than 2，000 emoji are in existence now，with more being released each year．These numbers show the popularity and demand for emoji．Why？Because words alone can't convey the complete meaning of a digital message．In digital communication，emoji express a tone or mood．More than 90 percent of people onlineuse emoji especially ones that show emotion like hearts and smileys．（3）．For example，they might send a red heart emoji as a response that they really like something instead of writing，"I love that．"Some emoji are also abstract enough for people to use in any way they like．You can send an emoji as an inside joke，which is only understood between you and your friend．（4）．Nor do they belong to a specific culture．You and I give emoji meaning，because emoji is a language that belongs to all of us．IV. Summary Writing21．（15分）Directions：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．People choose to become entrepreneurs （创业者）for a wide variety of reasons．One important reason is，of course，financial reward．If you own your own business and it becomes successful，you can reap huge financial rewards．And as an entrepreneur，dependent on how much your boss decides to give you；it's limited only by the success of your business．And speaking of bosses，not having a supervisor is another major advantage of becoming an entrepreneur．Entrepreneurs are often independent thinkers who want to be in charge of projects，rather than having others tell them what to do．They often have big dreams that they want to pursue rather than making someone else's dream come true．For many entrepreneurs，starting a business is a way of solving a problem or helping people receive something they need．It's a way to change the world for the better．Being an entrepreneur isn't easy，however，nor is it always fun．Entrepreneurs often have to work long hours，especially early on when they're trying to get their businesses off the ground．That's the reason entrepreneurs need to have a strong work ethic （伦理）．Employees can work 40 hours a week and then stop，but for an entrepreneur，there's no end in sight．That's why another feature of successful entrepreneurs is passion；they have to be excited about what they're doing to be willing to work hard for it．Entrepreneurs also need good communication skills to pass on that passion to others．That's important for finding investors，getting people to buy products and attracting employees．Entrepreneurs also need to be creative people who are able to find solutions to problemsthey encounter．This is important from the very beginning，when the entrepreneur comes up with an initial concept of a business．But even after that initial step，creative thinking is continually necessary to adapt to changing situations and to solve problems that come up．V.

Discover how artist Jacob Lawrence shared the history of an important event by combining words and art in a series of paintings calledThe Migration Series. For kids ages seven to fourteen. Parent participation is encouraged in this online event. Don' miss the opportunity to spend meaningful time with them.The Human ShelterIn 2016, MoMA opened Insecurities: Tracing Displacement and Shelter, an exhibition that examined how contemporary architecture arid design addressed ideas of shelter in light of global refugee(难民) emergencies. Danish Boris Benjamin Bertram documented the exhibition, and the result is a movie by him asking what makes a home, and, perhaps more importantly, when shelter becomes home. This online event is part of Member events.1.What is special about How to Look at Shape?A.It provides an interactive part.B.It is accessible to everyone.C.It is organized by Michelle Kuo.D.It focuses on MoMA's new collection.2.Which event is family-friendly?A.The Human Shelter.B.How to Look at Shape.C.Storytelling Through Art.D.Draw, Write, and Connect with Others.3.In which aspect might Bertram do well?A.Shelter design.B.Storytelling.C.Art education.D.Film-making.BIn 2015, a man named Nigel Richards memorized 386, 000 words in the entireFrench Scrabble Dictionaryin just nine weeks. However, he does not speak French. Richards’ impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works — real AI. Both of Richard and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI canoutperformhumans at routine tasks — provided the task is in one field with a lot of data — it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact, four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobs — executives, diplomats, economists — go well beyond the AI limitation of single-field and Big Data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI.Are you worried that these three types of jobs won’t employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require compassion, trust and sympathy — which AI does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer, or a robot to babysit their children.So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This must be the responsibility not just of the government, which can provide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.4. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic.B. To mention Nigel’s feat.C. To stress the importance of good memory.D. To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.5. Which of the following best explains “outperform” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Be superior toB. Be equal toC. Be similar toD. Be related to6. Which of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced?A. The writer.B. The shop assistant.C. The babysitter.D. The psychologist.7. What does the text suggest people do about job replacement of AI?A. Limit the application of AI to a certain degree.B. Get more support from the government.C. Apply for the donation from companies.D. Upgrade themselves all the time.CAlaska—The American city Anchorage is recovering from a powerful earthquake Friday that damaged public buildings, homes and roads.The 7.0 earthquake caused buildings to slake. But there have been no reports of deaths, serious injuries or damage. Officials say the quake has not affected transportation of food and her supplies. “The ships are coming in on schedule, the supply lines are at this point working well,” the government told reporters Sunday.The Glenn Highway was probably the road hit hardest by the earthquake. It connects the state's largest city to other parts in the north. Traffic has been heavy and slow—moving since the quake. Drivers are being guided. Groups of workers are trying to rebuild areas where the quake left large holes in the road.People who are still nervous after the major quake have been more upset by more than 1, 700 aftershocks. “Anything that moves, you feel terrified”said David, whose home suffered structural(结构)damage, including a sunken foundation(地基). Actually, Alaska came up with strict building rules after a 9. 2 earthquake in 1964. That was the second most powerful earthquake on record.Government officials said a public health center promises that moneyfor medical treatment will continue to come. Mental healthy service(心理健康服务)is also available for people hurt by the disaster.Earthquake experts say there is a 4 percent chance of another 7. 0 earthquake or greater in the following week. "The chance is very small, but its not impossible, ” said the expert, Paul Caruso.8. What was the result of the earthquake?A. Buildings were damaged.B. Food supply was cut off.C. Many people were killedD. The ships could not come in.9. Why is the traffic slow on the Glenn Highway?A. Because small quakes hit the city.B. Because falling rocks are a danger.C. Because the highway is badly damaged.D. Because drivers are misled.10. What can you learn from Paul Caruso?A. Another greater earthquake is on the way.B. Chances still exists of another earthquake.C. It will be safe in the 1th week after the quake.D. There is no possibility for more quakes.11. Where can your possibly read the passage?A. Ina story book.B. In a travel journal.C. In a poster.D. In a newspaper.DWhen my friend suggested going to the op shop (二手商店)，instantly I thought “I hope no one I know sees me”. It was the same when my cousin commented on my new furniture and Japanese, fine-bone-china bowls and asked where I got them. They were from the local op shop but instead I said “from the antique shop”.Many people in my Greek-Cypriot community would look down on me if I said I shopped at the op shop. They may pity me, consider me poor, a failure. Immigrants sacrificed their families and homes for a better life. Buying a house and having enough money to live comfortably, to educate your children and see them also live comfortably, are a big part of the immigrant dream, But has this dream made us materialistic at the cost of our own planet?Our love for purchasing the latest trendy clothes or furniture, then donating them when we are tired of them has become normal. I was once like this. But after watching the documentaryThe True CostI learned donated clothes that don’t get sold are sent to developing nations, many of them ending up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). In addition, your new dress requires electricity and materials to make. But if you buy a second-hand dress, that’s one less dress in a landfill and one less new dress to be made.A friend introduced me to op shopping only a few years ago. My firstitem was a dress she gifted me. It was lovely and I loved it. Nobody could tell it was second-hand. This opened me up to purchasing more second-hand high quality branded clothes. Once I visited a friend and was impressed by how she decorated her apartment. “It’s all second-hand,” she said. I couldn’t believe it. The truth is a lot of things sold at the op shop are in new or almost new condition. That’s when I made the decision to only buy second-hand things.Selling second-hand things isn’t anything new butwhat the planet needs is more buyers. There is so much excess (过量) production in the world. So stop feeling ashamed, and let’s get shopping.12. What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1?A. Pride.B. Embarrassment.C. Delight.D. Sympathy.13. Whatare many people in the author’s community like?A. They are probably materialistic.B. They care about the environment.C. They think highly of op shopping.D. They look down upon immigrants.14. What was the author encouraged to do after visiting her friend’s apartment?A. Watch the documentaryThe True Cost.B. Donate more to local charities.C. Avoid shopping too much.D. Stop buying new things.15. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To entertain.B. To advertise.C. To persuade.D. To describe.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Monaco Grand PrixThe air is fresh with the heat of early summer as you arrive in the beautiful country of Monaco on the day of the race. Your 41 to the Monte-Carlo neighborhood is bursting with color as classic styles of European architecture catch your eye. When you reach the race course area, you are led to the harbor where you will watch the race from the 42 of a friend’s yacht (游艇). Soon, the Formula One cars will pull onto the starting point and the race will begin.Each of the cars in the Monaco Grand Prix is 43 , but all of them are fastand modern. The race course also 44 as being complex and difficult, with a frightening hairpin (发夹) turn along a very narrow street. 45 these streets at speeds over 150 kilometers per hour, drivers must take care. Even the slightest 46 could turn a multi-million dollar car into a pile of waste. The driver who claims first place receives an award and will go down 47 as one of the world’s finest drivers.Indianapolis 500On race day the grandstands (大看台) are filled with excitement as you enter the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You find your seat, 48 yourself against the harsh heat and marvel at the huge black oval(椭圆形的) track below. Moments later, a fleet of Indy Cars rolls onto the track, 49 themselves in 11 neat rows of three. The sound of 33 turning engines rings in your ears, and you cheer with the crowd as the powerful cars take off from the starting line.Unlike Monaco Formula One cars, Indycars are more uniform in their 50 . They tend to be much longer, and reach 260 kilometers per hour. Since the drivers must race for 500 miles, the race is quite long, 51 three to five hours. The resulting wear and tear on each car is managed with short stops. The driver’s excellent team performs 52 at amazing speeds.

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)Wild Track is an organization that aims to protect endangered animals like rhinos. They use a computer program that runs photos of animal tracks through an algorithm (演算法). Then the program makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the program itself needs “training”.It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity (圈养). As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “knows.”As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization called . The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit and follow the instructions on the site to send your photo.Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then you should not go there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced at tracking.56. How does the writer begin this article about WildTrack?A. By discussing the software that it employsB. By praising its recent efforts to raise fundsC. By explaining how and when it was foundedD. By summarizing different opinions about it57. According to this article, which animals are WildTrack mainly interested in?A. Those which cause a threat to human settlementsB. Those which are now at risk of becoming extinctC. Those which have been illegally kept as petsD. Those which disappeared from the Earth long ago58. What does this article talk about in detail?A. A list of locations worth exploringB. A strategy for acquiring equipmentC. A warning not to engage in huntingD. A technique containing several steps59. What does the article suggest doing in wild areas?A. Admiring the wild landscapeB. Preparing well for wild weatherC. Leaving wild creatures aloneD. Consuming a diet of wild plants(B)Science fiction paints a future whererobots play an important part in everydaylife. A technology firm is trying to makethat future a reality today with anaffordable robot called Artibo. Artibo issmall. Its brain, or Al block, is a cube(立方体) that fits in your hand. That blockconnects to a motor block and two siliconwheels. Assembled, it’s about four inchestall.Artibo is much more than just a robotthat you program to move around. Artibo’sdesigners want it to provide companionship and be a resource for learning coding. With its camera, microphone and connection to a cloud-based Al, it can respond to voice commands or function like a walkie-talkie (对讲机). It talks like a chatbot and can tell bedtime stories. It can even help you learn other languages!Artibo isn’t quite ready for stores yet, though.It’s part of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGC product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one using nothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas(画布) of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of code blocks from a programming menu, link them together, and watch how your robot responds. In Artibo’s case coding doesn’t stop there. Unlike other similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allow you to write your own code. So as your familiarity with coding increases, you won’t lose interest in Artibo.60.According to the passage, the purpose of developing Artibo is ______.A.helping people learn anything they want and providing companionshipB.providing a robot that can move, accompany and help people learn codingC.chatting with people, telling bedtime stories and supplying languagesD.helping people raise money on line and creating programmable robots61.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Programming robots is not really complicated.B.Programming robots is advanced like a rocket.C.Programming robots can be used in smartphones.D.Programming robots used in toys is not new at all.62.The passage implies that ______.A.People can programme various orders even without code blocksB.Anyone can control Artibo freely unlike other programming toysC.The more familiar you’re with coding, the more you’ll like ArtiboD.Artibo is popular in the world especially among young people(C)5G, the fifth generation of wireless, promises lightning-fast download speeds and could lay the foundation for high-tech advancements like self-driving cars. But like many new technologies, it's causing concern about potential health issues.The first generation of wireless introduced mobile phones, and 2G brought texting. 3G laid the groundwork for smartphones, and 4G allowed video streaming and more. 5G is expected to download data 20 times faster than its predecessor (前任), and some experts argue it could be much faster.Too much of a good thing?It’s not just about streaming data faster, it’s about streaming more of it. On a 5G network, a user can download a movie instantly, and data will flow between connected objects without delay. The amount of data people use on mobile devices has gone up 40 times since and is only expected to increase. 5G networks are wireless companies’ attempts to satisfy that demand.Uncertain effectsThe untested nature of 5G, and the extensiveness of its infrastructure (基础设施), has some worried that the increased exposure could have serious health effects.Wireless safety advocates(倡议人士) have called for more studies on the effects of the exposure, and one group is trying to stop the installment of 5G networks in Chicago’s neig hborhoods.The federal government has safety rules that wireless companies must obey that limit human exposure to radio waves, including frequencies used with 5G.Wireless industry association CTIA says typical exposure to 5G infrastructure is comparable to Bluetooth devices and baby monitors, and there is no scientific evidence of negative health effects.Still, assurances from government agencies and industry operators are not enough for Chicago resident Judy Blake. Additional studies on 5G’s health impacts likely wouldn’t soothe her either. She said, “People can’t choose whether or not to be exposed to this radiation.”“I don’t need another test. The only test that’s going to happen now is people’s lives, ”said Blake, 67.Only time will tell?Though little is known about the long-term health impact of the millimeter waves that 5G operates on, some research has shown short-term exposure could be problematic, said Joel Moskowitz, a public health expert at the University of California atBerkeley.The eyes and sweat glands(腺体) are among several body parts studies have shown could be at risk, Moskowitz said. Insects and plant life could also be affected, he added.The millimeter waves used in 5G are absorbed by the upper layers of skin, potentially causing the temperature of the skin to rise, said Suresh Borkar, senior lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The effects of extended rises in skin temperature “become a big unknown,” he said.This isn’t the first time people will come into contact with millimeter waves: They’re also used in airport body scanners, said Lav Varshney, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Still, it’s the first time the high-frequency waves will be used on such a scale, and concerns surrounding new technologies are common throughout history.“When cars first started replacing horse-drawn carriages, people were afraid of what the health impacts of traveling at high speeds would be,” Varshney said. “There has always been occurrence of this fear.”63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.5G is faster but not safe to human beings.B.5G features faster and more in transferring.C.5G can meet people’s any demand in theory.D.5G just makes little impact on people’s health.64.What can be inferred from the passage?limeter waves certainly affect people’s health seriously.limeter waves will cause the skin’s temperature to rise.C.It’s obvious that many scientists object to 5G technology.D.It’s hard to say whether millimeter waves do damage to health.65.The word soothe in the last but 7 paragraphs most probably means ______.A.to make somebody feel calm or less worried.B.to make somebody feel happy or more excited.C.to make somebody feel disappointed or less satisfactory.D.to make somebody feel inspired or more energetic.66.The best title for this passage is ______.A.5G’s Advantages and DisadvantagesB.The Development of WirelessC.5G Health ConcernD.5G Future PredictionSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.W hether you’re on social media or sending a text message, you encounter emoji (表情符号) regularly. 67 .
