I teach entrepreneurship (社会学). We know many new enterprises fail, and innovators (创业者)need luck.With my students, I spend much time encouraging them to get out of their comfort zone and take some risks. I do this myself all the time. About a dozen years ago, during a flight, I decided to take a little risk. I started a conversation with the man sitting next to me. I introduced myself, and I learned that he was a publisher. I learned all about the future of the publishing industry and we exchanged contact (联系) information. So about three quarters through the night, I decided to take another risk. I showed him a book plan I was doing in my class. Although he was very pol ite, he said it wasn’t right for us.A couple of months later, I told him I was doing a project on transforming the book, the future of publishing and invited him to come to my class. So he gladly came to my class. We had a great experience. A few months later, I wrote to him again, sending a bunch of video clips (剪辑) from another project my students had made. He was so stricken by one of them that he thought there was a book in it. I was a little bit hurt, but it was all right. So I invited him and his colleagues to have lunch together. Later, one of his editors asked me if I had considered writing a book. And I pulled out the exact same plan I had showed his boss a year earlier. Within two years, my book had sold over a million copies.4．We can infer from the author’s experience on the plane that .A．the publisher was stricken by his bookB．that was his first experience by planeC．the first risk during the night didn’t work outD．the experience made him transform his book5．Why did the author send th e students’ video clips?A．To have their book published.

Jim spoke to her and she calmed down as he cut her free from the line. Seeing she was too tired to swim away, he called the Wildlife Conservation Commission and they rescued the dolphin, named her Winter and took her back to the center to get treatment.Winter was placed in a holding tank and the team put a feeding tube in her throat. Soon, though, Winter learned how to eat from a bottle. But the line wrapping around Winter’s tail had caused her tail to fall off piece by piece. Eventually all that was left was a fleshy stump (残肢). Though Winter did eventually start to swim, she taught herself an entirely original way — to swing her tail stump from side to side like a fish.She learned very well and learned how to trust and love the people who cared for her. And she made a new non-human friend — Panama, another rescued dolphin. The two became lifelong friends, completely inseparable.But her trainers were worried, her original moving way prevented her from growing properly. Then Kevin Carroll, a dolphin lover and maker of prosthetic limbs (假肢) for people, stepped in. With a team of experts, vets, and trainers, Kevin developed a new tail for Winter. Winter was retrained to use the device (装置) to swim properly, but with lots of hard work she did it!Word about the disabled dolphin got it and everyone could relate to the dolphin. Now she seems to connect with everyone - from adults with pr ostheses to a little girl who didn’t want to wear her hearing aid until she met Winter.8．What made Winter calm down?A．The netting.B．Jim’s words.C．The rescue team.D．The new tail.9．Why did Jim phone the Wildlife Conservation Commission?A．To cure the baby dolphin.B．To deal with the fishing net.C．To rescue the other fisherman.D．To look at the baby dolphin.10．What made the trainers worried?A．Winter’s relationship with Panama.B．Winter’s popularity with visitors.C．The effect of the damage on Winter.D．Winter’s moving style like other dolphins.11．How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A．It’s beautiful.B．It’s controversial.C．It’s humorous.D．It’s discouraging.Plastic is the workhorse material of the modern economy (经济). Lightweight and durable, it’s been used to make a vast number of products since its introduction over 100 years ago.However, a study carried out by the World Economic Forum, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and McKinsey Company showed the status of the breakdown in the global plastic system. A full 32% of the 78 million tons of plastic packaging produced annually is left to flow into our oceans.The Ocean Cleanup, a start-up founded in 2013, is the brainchild of Boyan Slat, who came up with the idea for the company when he was just 17 years old. Since then, it’s received more than $2 million in funding(基金). The company plans to use a large array (列阵) that will be fixed to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. This will have arms that spread out over 100 km,getting all of the plastic garbage pushed into its nets. This is then collected by a10,000-metre-cube container that will be emptied monthly.Most recently, the Ocean Cleanup launched a team of explorers aboard a specially refitted C-130 Hercules aircraft heavily loaded with specialized sensor equipment. It discovered that the problem was worse than expected with an abundance of plastics measuring up to 1.5 m across and at a higher density than previously thought. The organization will continue to pilot the array and will start cleaning the pile before the end of the decade.Once the plastic is out, what should we do with it? The foundation (基金会) hopes that the plastic from the ocean will have a commercial value which can help to fund the project. Ocean pla stic is not easy to use, it’s mixed by nature consisting of everything from intact PET bottles to micro plastics. However, some of the world's biggest companies also see the chance to market oceans plastic products.Transforming today’s plastics economy fr om its present form (take-make-waste) to a zero waste circular economy (take-make-take-make) is a difficult challenge. However, with cooperative action from producers, recyclers, governments and consumers alike and continuing innovation (革新) it can be done.12．What’s Boyan Slat’s idea about?A．A way to collect ocean plastic waste.B．A new product made of ocean plastic.C．A machine to recycle plastic garbage.D．An organization to research into plastic.13．Which of the following can replace the underlined wor d “density” in Paragraph 4? A．Flexibility. B．Thickness.C．Width. D．Strength.14．What do some biggest companies expect of the ocean plastic?A．It’ll be turned into treasure.B．It’ll sponsor the foundation.C．It’ll cooperate with the government.D．It’ll take the form of take-make-waste. 15．Where is this text most likely from?A．A diary. B．A guidebook.C．A novel. D．A magazine二、七选五Are you one of the increasing number of students who are struggling for college education online? Follow these tips to help you be a successful online learner?Many students assume that online classes require less work and are easier than traditional classes. 16．Arrangement according to class schedule is important. Log on to your course according to the required schedule. Manage your time just as you would in a traditional course.17．You may not be able to turn in papers, view videos, or participate in groups if you don't have the proper technology. Make sure that you have the proper Internet connection and software programs installed (安装).During class, you are advised to be focused. Read and practice everything. 18．Don’t run through a course skipping videos, animations (动画), and ungraded self-assessment activities. Be comfortable communicating through text. Most communication in an online course occurs through the written word. Discussion board posts, written assignments, and email are all common modes of communication in online courses. 19．Be prepared to read and write a lot in online courses.Remember to be active. If yo u have questions or don’t understand an assignment, tell your instructor. 20．Don’t wait until after you’ve turned in an assignment to let the instructor know that you have struggled. If you email or call the instructor before an assignment, quiz, or exam, you’ll prevent the struggle, and avoid having your grade suffer.A．Go through every screen.B．Online classes require less workC．You’ll understand the instructor better.D．Be sure you have the required software and hardware.E.Your instructor can help you better if you tell him or her.F.In reality, they’re designed just as demanding as traditional courses.G.This is different from traditional classes, where a lot of communication is oral.三、完形填空On a December morning in 1951, Malone left his home in downtown St. John’s in Newfoundland, to buy some butter for his mother.

2019-2020学年洛阳市第二中学高三英语二模试卷及参考答案
2019-2020学年洛阳市第二中学高三英语二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AThree Things to Do Before You Are 18Are you bored with your daily life? Here are some things you should try before you are 18.★Learn to swimSeriously, this is so important that it can save your life. If you can’t swim well, you won’t be able to dowater sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.★Try at least one kind of team sportsBeing a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself, but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.★Collect somethingOne of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or letters from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.1. The most important reason for learning to swim is that ________.A. you might feel wellB. it can make you healthyC. you might easily do lots of thingsD. it can save your life2. The writer tells us that one of the best hobbies is to ________ .A. collect somethingB. do some water sportsC. send letters to your friendsD. play basketball with your friends23. The passage is mainly about ________before you are 18.A. good habits to keepB. skills to haveC. things to doD. sports to playBDid you know that horses talk? Well, they do, and you can lean to understand “horse talk” if you pay close attention to the horses you see.When horses live in the wild, other animals try to eat them, so a lot of horse talk is about staying alive. Even now, when most horses live on farms, they watch for danger. For this reason, never walk behind a horse. If you surprise it, the horse might mistake you for a mountain lion or wolf and give a dangerous kick.By watching the ears of a horse, you can get clues to what it's hearing. A horse can tum each ear in a different direction. For a wild horse, this trick is important for survival. The horse can hear something sneaking up behind it while also checking out a threatening noise in front. When a horse lets its ears down, it's feeling safe and relaxed. If horses becomeisolated, they neigh, or “whinny,” calling for company. They're saying, “Where are you? I'm over here!” If a horse snorts(哼) while holding its head high and staring at something, it's saying, “That looks dangerous. Get ready to run!” When two horses meet, they put their noses together and smell each other's breath. It's their way of asking, “Are you a friend?” Horses nicker,too. Nickering is a quiet sort of sound. This friendly noise means they're feeling secure and saying, “Clad to see you.”In the wild, horses live in herds, with all members watching for danger. In a herd, only one horse is the leader, the “boss hoss”. The “boss hoss” is usually an older female. She watches for threats and teaches younger horses how to behave. However, others may want her job. When that happens, she pins her ears back against her head and may even bite or kick to get challengers to back off. She's using body language to say, “Hey, I'm in charge here!” All horses know that the one who makes others move is the leader. Horses relate to people that way, too.Horses have a language of their own. Now you know a bit of what they might be saying.4. What is the general idea of this passage?A. Horses can talk with their owners.B. You can know a bit of horses' language.C. Horses can “talk” in their own way.D. Other animals can also learn language.5. What does the underlined word “isolated” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Lonely.B. Glad.C. Sad.D. Frightened.6. What will a horse do when he wants to know whether another horse is a friend?A. He will let his ears down.B. He and another horse will put their noses together and smell each other's breath.C They both will hold their heads high and stare at something.D. He will give another horse a dangerous kick.7. How will the “boss hoss” deal with her challengers?A. By warning or fighting.B. By watching for threats.C. By teaching younger horses how to behave.D. By relating to people.CKids often admire well-known celebrities, putting posters of their favorite musicians, movie stars and athletes on their bedroom walls. But rarely does a young person get to meet or talk to their idol. Yet for one young tennis player - Coco Gauff - her chance to do just that happened in an amazing way!Coco was born on March 13, 2004. At the age of 4, she developed an interest in tennis after watching Venus Williams win the Australian Open on TV. Coco began playing at 7 and showed a real talent for the sport. When young Coco turned 10, she began training at a tennis centre run by Venus's coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. He still remembers the first time he met Coco. He says, “She impressed me with her determination and fighting spirit. ” Convinced of her talent, Mouratoglou sponsored（资助）Coco to attend his academy in France. While she was preparing to go to the academy in 2019, she received a call that would change her plans and her life!Wimbledon（温布尔顿网球比赛）organizers called and offered Gauff entry to the tournament（联赛）as a wildcard（外卡选手）.This madeher one of the youngest players to ever qualify. Before she knew it she was on her way to London. After arriving, she received another surprise. For her Wimbledon debut（首次登场），she would be playing her lifelong hero, Venus Williams! The tennis legend is 24years older than Gauff.The world watched with amazement as young Gauff beat Venus in two straight sets! Afterwards, Gauff shook Venus's hand, thanked her and said, “I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. " After the match, Venus said of Gauff, “I think the sky is the limit；it really is. " Venus said, “I feel honored that I was on her wall [as a poster] at some point in her life. Soon she will be on other girls' walls. It's nice because it will keep going from the next generation to the next generation. "8. What can we learn about Coco from the text?A. She took up tennis as career at the age of 4.B. She went to academy at the age of 7.C. She had played against William before 10.D. She beat William at the age of 159. Which of the following can best describe Coco?A. Talented and modest.B. Lucky and responsible.C. Proud and hard-working.D. Respectful and cheerful.10. What can we infer from Venus's words?A. Coco had reached her limits.B. Coco would rise to fame after the match.C. Coco's poster would be passed on.D. Coco had once visited her home.11. What can be a suitable title for the text ?A. Coco Gauff：Tennis's Next Superstar.B. Coco Gauff：A Poster on the Wall.C. What Posters Mean to a Young Girl.D. The Significance of Admiring an Idol.DWhat acts of kindness will make us the happiest, and who tends to benefit the most? A newly-published review of decades of kindness research provides some answers.In this paper, researchers analyzed the results from 126 research articles looking at almost 200, 000 participants from around the world. The studies they chose measured well-being in various ways, including both mental and physical health. Some were experiments, where people did a kindness practice to observe its effects, while others just surveyed people about how kind and happy they were.As expected, people who were kind tended to have higher well-being. Lead researcher Bryant Hui wasastoundedthat the relationship wasn't stronger than it was, but he was still encouraged by the results.One thing Hui and his colleagues found was that people who performed random, informal acts of kindness, like bringing a meal to a sad friend, tended to be happier than people who performed more formal acts of kindness, like volunteering in a soup kitchen.The researchers also found that people who were kind tended to be higher in "eudaimonic happiness"(a sense of meaning and purpose in life) more than "hedonic happiness"(a sense of pleasure and comfort). Perhaps this makes sense, given that being kind takes effort, which reduces comfort but could make people feel better about themselves and their abilities, which would provide a sense of meaning.Being kind came with greater eudaimonic happiness for women than for men, too. According to Hui, this could be because, in many cultures, women are expected to be kinder than men; so, they may have more to gain from it. And younger participants experienced more happiness when they were kind than older participants, perhaps for developmental reasons, he says.Hui isn't sure why acting kind might have these different effects on different groups, but he points to theories put forth by researcher Elizabeth Midlarsky: Being kind may make us feel better about ourselves as a person or about the meaning of our lives, help us forget our own troubles and stresses, or help us be more socially-connected with others.12. What does the data in the second paragraph intend to show?A. The recent paper is worthy of being read.B. The recent paper gives convincing results.C. Kindness is always a hot topic of research.D. Kindness is closely linked to one's well-being.13. What does the underlined word "astounded" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Afraid.B. Certain.C. Excited.D. Surprised.14. Which of the following acts of kindness can make one feel happier according to paragraph 4?A. Volunteering in a hospital.B. Cleaning a community.C. Returning a lost item to its owner.D. Collecting donations for the poor.15. What do the researchers find from the paper?A. Being kind has different effects on different groups.B. Eudaimonic happiness makes people feel comfort.C. The younger experienced more happiness than the older.D. Female participants are kinder than male ones.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。

That year, he and his friends met an enthusiastic Chinese teacher who recommended they study the Chinese language. Zaghloul then succeeded in applying for graduate study in Chinese language and literature at Zhejiang Normal University. The school is near the world’s largest outdoor studio, Hengdian World Studios, known as “China’s Hollywood”.Zaghloul says he has dreamed of becoming an actor since childhood, so he decided to try some auditions (试镜) at the studio while pursuing his master’s degree. Before the hit film, Zaghloul had accumulated experience and improved his acting skills through many auditions for Chinese films and TV dramas for five years.“As a foreign actor here, I need to practice acting skills and learn Chinese well. Many production teams recruit (招募) quickly, and you have to grab the opportunities fast or miss them,” he says.“Having been in China for so long, I have felt the warmth of the Chinese people and wishes to spread the culture by teaching the language to foreign newcomers,” he says. “Once they can master the Chinese language, they can seize many opportunities and start a new life in China.”4．What does Zaghloul think of some movie viewers’ anger?A．It is evidence of his good acting.B．It is a new blow to his confidence.C．It is due to the fierce discussion.D．It is a misunderstanding of the film.5．Why did Zaghloul stay in China longer than planned?A．To make Chinese friends.B．To join Chinese film industry.C．To receive a Chinese degree.D．To teach foreigners Chinese.6．When did Zaghloul actually start his acting?A．More than ten years ago.B．At the age of 23.C．Before coming to China.D．In his late twenties.7．What conclusion can we make from the last two paragraphs?A．Foreign actors have more advantages.B．Foreign newcomers refer to Egyptians.C．No language skills mean no chances.D．More opportunities need more efforts.Thousands of tons of Long Island recyclables are ending up as trash compared to last years because of sharply dropping prices caused by restrictions issued this year by China, the world’s largest importer of recycled cardboard and plastics, recycling operators said. The restrictions could lead to changes in the way many Long Islanders dispose(处理) of paper and other material—particularly in towns that switched to the “single stream” recycling programs that allowed residents to combine paper, plastic, aluminum and glass in one container, officials said.The problem reached a flash point last week when Green Stream Recycling told Brookhaven officials it could no longer run the town’s recycling facility. Green Stream is expected to fold, and Brookhaven on Thursday expects to name a new operator to temporarily run the recycling system while town officials weigh their long-term options. Brookhaven plans to continue the single-stream program.Though changeable prices are considered normal in the waste industry, Brookhaven and Green Stream previously had touted(吹捧) the town’s single-stream program since it began in 2014. In its first year using single stream, the town saw a 25 percent increase in the number of homes that recycled. Similar increases were reported by towns such as Smithtown, Huntington and Southold that agreed to transport their recyclables to the Brookhaven plant. But this year, nearly 22 percent of recyclable paper, plastic, cardboard and aluminum brought to the Brookhaven facility has gone to incinerators(焚化炉) or landfills, double the rates of 2016and 2017, according to figures provided by Green Stream.8．How did Long Islanders usually deal with waste cardboard and paper?A．They exported them to China.B．They recycled the items.C．They adopted “single stream” program.D．They buried them under the ground.9．How is Paragraph 2 developed?A．By explaining the reason.B．By giving an example.C．By comparing options.D．By stating the fact.10．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The town.B．Changeable price.C．Brookhaven and Green Stream.D．The town’s single-stream program.11．What has the single-stream program been like in the past four years ?A．Booming.B．Criticized.C．Tricky.D．Changeable.One thing we always remember from our childhood is our favourite teddy bear. This soft ragged toy was our comfort and companion. As we grow up, we normally give up our childish ways, and our furry friend often ends up in storage or at a yard sale. But that’s not the case for everyone.It seems that some grown-ups continue to need their cuddly (让人想抱的) toy by their sides. And for some adults, soft toys remain an essential presence—they take them wherever they go.A cuddly toy can come in many forms —animals, strange shapes or just a piece of stuffed material. But it’s the teddy bear in particular that seems to have a lasting appeal —it gives us a nostalgic(怀旧的) feeling and a reminder of our younger days. David Cannadine, a historian, says, “Perhaps it’s that bears represent the happy security of a childhood friend who never changes or lets you down. For whatever reason, teddies appeal to both children and adults of all ages.”The teddy bear is much celebrated these days, and they’ve become something that we don’t just grow up with —people buy them as adults too. There are shops which sell only teddy bears, there are teddy bear museums in many countries, and teddy bear festivals regularly take place around the world.While our soft toys offer us a kind of comfort blanket, some experts say it’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s sometimes good to let go of the restrictions of adult life and be a big kid again. Many adults purchase playthings they enjoyed as children because they bring back happy memories. Colouring books, cuddly toys and board games were top of the list. So, if you’re still keeping your teddy a secret, don’t worry —you’re not alone!12．What are teddy bears usually used for?A．Keeping people company.B．Making adults stay young.C．Being sold for pocket money.D．Being collected for appreciation.13．Why are teddy bears so attractive to people?A．They come in various shapes and colors.B．They are made of strange furry materials.C．They help to ensure children’s safety.D．They carry with them true friendship.14．Which advice is reasonable for an adult?A．Take less notice of shame.B．Try to act like a child.C．Follow social rules strictly.D．Buy toys if necessary.15．What may be a suitable title for the text?A．No More Teddy Bears B．A Teddy Bear for LifeC．Childish Teddy Bears D．Adults in Need of Toys二、七选五Some of us like to keep some things private — maybe we don’t want people knowing about our relationship status, our age or where we live because these details are personal.____16____.On our social media accounts, we often display things like our opinions, connections and holiday photos. However, how do we stop everybody seeing everything? Maybe we don’t want a random stranger knowing our favourite type of coffee. ____17____. Now they seem to be popping up on websites. So how can you stay more private?There are some steps you can take. First, on your social media accounts, check your privacy settings. Many social media platforms allow everything to be visible by default (默认)and the responsibility is on you to set your boundaries. And limiting the amount you share isn’t only confined (限制) to social media. There are many sites out there that help you to share documents so a good tip may be to not put anything too private, like passwords, on there.____18____. Finally, cookies are designed to improve your browsing (浏览) experience by tracking and saving information about your visits to a site, helping to personalize your sessions. ____19____,but there are certain apps which can block them if you don’t feel comfortable.____20____, maybe only share things you’d be happy with a stranger seeing—and if you don’t feel comfortable with cookies, you might decide to invest in some tech to block them. If that’s not enough, just don’taccept them and visit another site—and why not have a yummy cookie to eat instead?A．Hopefully, when you take the adviceB．Deleting your browsing history may helpC．So, if you want to maintain your privacy onlineD．One mistaken click may send it to the wrong personE．Try to adjust the settings on each device and browser you useF．And cookies -- there was a time they were just something nice to eatG．The problem is, everywhere we go online, we seem to leave a digital footprint三、完形填空Charles Darwin once said, “A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.”24．A．exact B．practical C．approximate D．statistic 25．A．imagine B．expect C．agree D．report 26．A．size B．statement C．calculation D．summary 27．A．complex B．important C．popular D．tiresome 28．A．cuts down B．adds to C．looks over D．depends on 29．A．women B．seniors C．adults D．babies 30．A．built B．conducted C．published D．collected 31．A．methods B．surroundings C．habits D．effects 32．A．measurable B．reliable C．predictable D．remarkable 33．A．reputation B．concentration C．worth D．voice 34．A．affected B．removed C．reshaped D．copied 35．A．even B．still C．yet D．thus 36．A．approach B．regard C．reaction D．access 37．A．remind B．encourage C．beg D．train 38．A．worthwhile B．fair C．true D．specific 39．A．status B．chance C．possibility D．spot 40．A．rights B．aspects C．interests D．costs四、用单词的适当形式完成短文China, giving himself the title of “first emperor” and building himself one of the biggest pyramid tombs ever____48____(see) on earth.Why did China’s first emperor order 8000 life-size clay soldiers for his tomb?

2022届河南省洛阳市高三下学期第二次统一考试英语试题
2022届河南省洛阳市高三下学期第二次统一考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Here I’d like to share some interesting news with you.Living without electricityNoplug is a small community in Seoul, South Korea. It hopes they can make a difference by reducing the carbon use. They rely on fuel sources(来源) such as solar and fire to do daily tasks.Dr Yasuyuki Fujimura visits the community from Japan each month to educate people on how to meet everyday needs without electricity.A playhouse made of instant noodlesA Chinese made international news headlines after using instant noodles to build a playhouse for his unborn son.Photos of the unusual playhouse went viral(传播) online quickly after being posted on social media by the builder, a Mr Zhang, who spent four days building the structure out of out-of-date instant noodles which he thought it was a pity to throw away by his friends. The playhouse can accommodate a bed, as well as his unborn son’s toys, featuring windows to let the light in.Swimming through the skyLying over thirty meters above the ground, between two buildings in London, the Sky Pool makes you feel like you’re swimming through the sky.The outdoor pool offers swimmers breathtaking views of London’s city skyline, floating in the air.Thanks to modern technology and architectural innovations, the pool can handle the natural movements of the two buildings it connects.Painting in virtual realityTalented artist Anna Zhilyaeva, a pioneer in the fields of virtual reality and mixed reality painting, has been pushing the boundaries of painting by combining the centuries-old art form with one of the most advanced technologies of our times—virtual reality.Using some software and a virtual reality headset, she is able to paint three-dimensional1．What fuel source does the Noplug community live on?A．Raw fuel.B．Recycled carbon.C．Solar and fire.D．Self-produced electricity.2．What can be inferred about the Sky Pool?A．It went viral online.B．It is located in Asia.C．It involves virtual reality.D．It is a creative design.3．Which news may environmentalists be most interested in?A．News I and News 2.B．News 3 and News 4.C．News l and News 3.D．News 2 and News 4.Song Lam, or Waiata to some of her New Zealand Maori friends, argues that Mandarin and Maori have much in common, particularly the five vowels(元音) which sound the same in both languages. And the mythological(神话) figure Maui of Maori legend has a Chinese “twin brother”, the Monkey King. Both could turn themselves into any shape or figure at any time.Some academics claim that one of the native tribes in Taiwan, China speaks a language similar to Maori, notably in the naming of numbers. Evidence gleaned by archaeologists(考古学家) shows an ancient link between the peoples of Australasia and Taiwan, with the native language of Taiwan having similarities to the prehistoric Australasian language.Confused by Maori place names and customs when she first moved to New Zealand, Song Lam spent eight years researching and three years writing her book, The Maori of New Zealand, which is believed to be the first Chinese-language publication to include Maori words, values and customs. The 120-page book, including 10 pages of photos and maps, descbribes Maori legends, traditions, history and folk tales.Song Lam was inspired to write the book in 1990 when she tried to sign up for an education course in New Zealand and was asked for her comments on a local historical event, which she knew nothing about. She involved her two sons in her project and research after explaining to them the stories behind Maori place names. The younger boy, aged 10, used his skill at drawing to contribute an historic map of Maori tribes in New Zealand.“Both Chinese and Maori like to present a gift when visiting others or receiving warm reception,” Lam says. “My book will be a good gift when I visit a Maori community.”A．Fairy tales of the same character.B．Confusing place names and customs. C．Similar pronunciation of vowels.D．The magic power of the Monkey King. 5．What does the underlined word “gleaned” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Controlled.B．Gathered.C．Grown.D．Switched.6．Why is Song Lam’s younger son mentioned in Paragraph 4?A．To tell his curiosity about Maori.B．To prove his unique talent in painting.C．To stress the importance of education.D．To show his help with the publication.7．What is the best title for the text?A．Cultures Share Language BondB．The First Book about MaoriC．Adaptation to Life in New ZealandD．Languages Bridge MisunderstandingWith researchers suggesting that sitting is the new smoking, sit-stand desks (SSD) have become a common tool to interrupt long sitting in an office or classroom environment. As this furniture becomes popular, conflicting opinions have arisen on whether they can work as successfully as they are intended. Dr. April Chambers from the University of Pittsburgh worked with teammates to gather data from 3 studies and published a review article listing present information on the benefits of SSDs.“There has been a great deal of scientific research about sit-stand desks in the past few years, but we have only scratched the surface of this topic,” said Chambers. I want to gather what we’ve known so far to figure out how we can use these desks to better benefit people in the workplace.This work was done with Dr. Nancy A．Baker from Tufts University. The review examines the effects of a sit-stand desk in the following aspects: behavior, physiological(生理的), work performance, psychological, discomfort, and posture. Their work showed that using an SSD effectively got participants to sit less and stand more and that the device made users more comfortable at work. However, many frustrations (沮丧) with SSDs came from thebut there were no significant results with regards to fatness.There are many considerations about using an SSD most effectively, such as desk height, monitor height, and the amount of time to stand. Chambers believes that the overall arrangement of the workplace or study place and the amount of work are two factors that should be further studied.Chambers noted that present research is limited because many of the studies were done with young and healthy subjects who were asked to use the desk for a week or a month at most. Since some of the significant benefits are with heart health or muscle discomfort, it may be beneficial to perform additional studies with middle-aged or overweight workers. 8．The arguments about SSDs mainly lie in .A．their side effects B．their popularityC．their practical results D．their original intentions9．Why did Chambers publish the article?A．To call on people to stand more.B．To suggest ways to better use SSDs. C．To contradict the existing opinions.D．To find out the drawbacks of SSDs. 10．What’s the researchers’ attitude to SSDs’ physiological result?A．Disappointed.B．Content.C．Positive.D．Indifferent.11．What needs to be further examined according to Chambers?A．The height of the desk and the monitor.B．The time people spend in standing.C．Behavior and psychological aspects.D．A broader range of the participants.Bristol University will offer students lessons in happiness. The university is offering the 12-week course to students from all university disciplines next year, which will count towards 20 of their 120 credit points for their first year on campus. The course, to be taught by Professor Bruce Hood, an expert who studies how the brain works and how humans think, will explore what happiness is and how to achieve it.Last year, 400 students signed up for a pilot happiness course at the university, which did not result in academic credits, as part of the university’s efforts to improve well-being.course will be built and established on what we’ve already learnt in the first year but of course we’re going to monitor the students much more closely because it’s for academic credits. They can’t take an easy option—they’ve really got to put in a lot of effort.”The voluntary course was originally introduced amid(在……当中)growing concerns about student mental health. Last year, students called for more support and services for young people with mental health issues at the university. Under the new course, students will attend a one-hour lecture each week as well as attending a “happiness hub”. Lectures will address a series of issues, including whether happiness is in the genes and if it can really be changed, how our minds influence happiness and the role of culture in happiness.Students will be asked to select one of seven happiness exercises to practise for a week, and then evaluate(评估) the effect it has on them. This will be discussed at the weekly happiness hub meetings. The exercises include sleeping more, meditating(冥想), expressing gratitude for people and things, and practising random acts of kindness.12．Who will get credit points on the lessons in happiness?A．The twelfth graders.B．Graders of all periods.C．Senior students.D．The freshmen.13．How will the students find the happiness course?A．Encouraging.B．Exciting.C．Difficult.D．Simple.14．What can students do by taking the happiness course?A．They can give speeches on different issues.B．They can learn how minds affect happiness.C．They can evaluate the effect on each other.D．They can influence the part of culture in happiness.15．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Bristol University offers lessons in happiness.B．The first AI courses result in academic credits.C．Various courses are offered by Bristol University.D．Lessons will be introduced on students’ mental health.Why You Shouldn’t Exercise to Lose WeightMany of us are starting (or restarting) exercise in hopes of losing unwanted pounds. Aiming to be more active is good. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your New Year’s resolution could be very well backfire.____16____, we often sour on it and stop working out. In a study of 30 overweight people who participated in a 12-week exercise program and were interviewed afterward, this response was typical: “It was quite disappointing that I didn’t lose a singlepound.____17____.”Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment—a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. How many times have you heard someone say (or said yourself) “I’ll do extra exercise” after eating too much during the holidays or at a celebratory dinner?____18____. As a consequence, we’re unlikely to enjoy it or to keep doing it.The takeaway is that we see exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well-being rather than our weight. For some, the motivation may be an improved mood or less stress. Others may find exercise makes them feel physically and mentallystronger.____19____. It can help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, colds, etc. It can also improve sleep, make you energetic, and prevent aging. What’s more, exercise can prevent weight gain and improve your appearance.____20____. It’s perhaps the most important thing you can do for your health. But to improve the chances of success, focus on how movement helps you feel better physically and emotionally—and forget about how it moves the needle on the scale.A．It kind of made me give upB．So by all means, try to exercise regularly in 2022C．While it’s not very helpful for melting away poundsD．When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectationsE．The benefits of physical activity are well beyond these aspectsF．We treat exercise as a form of self-punishment for being “bad” in the pastG．For starters, exercise, at least the kind most of us do, is typically ineffective for weight lossEverybody wants what’s best for their kids, but nobody knows what that is.

Luckily, in the age of social media, we are never truly alone. And with the extra time spent indoors, artists are stepping up to help us all with the following clubs.Drawing from Distance by Sarah Beth MorganLet’s shine some light during this trying time and encourage social distancing! I’m starting this tomorrow myself — but from what I offer, take whatever you please. No rules! Just have fun!Stayathome Art Club byCarsonEllisHello!

You can follow some useful examples. If you want to share or see other people’s self-picture, use these hashtags: #Stayathomeartclub# QACselfportrait30-Day indoor Art by Danielle KrysaOne month of avoiding crowds? I’m in! I challenge you to use this time inside to make one piece every day from now until mid April. Please join me in playing around with some painting ideas that have been rolling around in my head but haven’t found their way onto paper yet. Stay at home, make art, save someone’s life.DIY from Illustoria MagazineWe have been so inspired to see our community come together to provide easy art projects for families during this stay-at-home-time! DIY is actually a fantastic way tosparkyour imagination without breaking a sweat. A video every day will teach you how to DIY something.1. What do we know about Sarah Beth Morgan?A. She is a strict artist.B. She aims at training more artists.C. She prefers to work at home office.D. She will provide a wide range of choices.2. What are you expected to do if you join Stayathome Art Club?A. Hand in homework every day.B. Share other people’s pictures.C. Draw a picture of yourself.D. Show up in person occasionally.3. What does “spark”in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Set off.B. Set down.C. Set aside.D. Set about.BPlease take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it feel good to say it out loud? Don’t you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges(认可) it, psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes againstthe traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(许诺) to this goal to the room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.4. What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Completion of the goal.B. Necessary hard work.C. People's acknowledgement.D. A sense of satisfaction.5. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.6. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal?A. By giving figures.B. By giving examples.C. By making a survey.D. By making comparison tests.7. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?A. You will be more confident.B. You will not gain satisfaction.C. You are less likely to realize it.D. You’ll be much moremotivated.CIf you ever get the impression that your dog can "tell" whether you look delighted or annoyed, you may be onto something. Dogs may indeed be able to distinguish between happy and angry human faces, according to a new studyResearchers trained a group of 11 dogs to distinguish between images(图像)of the same person making either a happy or an angry face. During the training stage, each dog was shown only the upper half or the lower half of the person's face. The researchers then tested the dogs' ability to distinguish between human facial expressions by showing them the other half of the person's face on images totally different from the ones used in training. The researchers found that the dogs were able to pick the angry or happy face by touching a picture of it with their noses more often than one would expect by random chance.The study showed the animals had figured out how to apply what they learned about human faces during training to new faces in the testing stage. "We can rule out that the dogs simply distinguish between the pictures based on a simple cue, such as the sight of teeth," said study author Corsin Muller. "Instead, our results suggest that the successful dogs realized that a smiling mouth means the same thing as smiling eyes, and the same rule applies to an angry mouth having the same meaning as angry eyes.""With our study, we think we can now confidently conclude that at least some dogs can distinguish human facial expressions," Muller toldLive Science.At this point, it is not clear why dogs seem to be equipped with the ability to recognize different facial expressions in humans. "To us, the most likely explanation appears to be that the basis lies in their living with humans, which gives them a lot of exposure to human facial expressions and this exposure has provided them with many chances to learn to distinguish between them." Muller said.8. The new study focused on whether dogs can_________.A. distinguish shapesB. make sense of human facesC. feel happy or angryD. communicate with each other9. What can we learn about the study from paragraph 2?A. Researchers tested the dogs in random order.B. Diverse methods were adopted during training.C. Pictures used in the two stages were differentD. The dogs were photographed before the lest.10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. A suggestion for future studies.B. A possible reason for the study findings.C. A major limitation of the studyD. An explanation of the research method.11. In which section is the text most likely to be found in a newspaper ?A. EntertainmentB. EconomyC. ScienceD. NatureDI’ve been putting my passport to good use lately. I use it asa coaster and to level unsteady table legs. It makes an excellent cat toy.Welcome to the pandemic (疫情) of disappointments. Canceled trips or ones never planned in case they would be canceled. Family reunions, study-abroad years, lazy beach vacations. Poof. Gone. Ruined by a tiny virus, the list of countries where our passports are not welcome is long.It is not natural for us to be this sedentary (定居的). Travel is in our genes. For most of the time our species has existed, we've lived as nomadic (游牧的) hunter-gatherers. But what if we can't move? What's a traveler to do? There are ways to answer that question. "Despair," though, is not one of them.We are an adaptive species. We can tolerate brief periods of forced sedentariness. We pass the days glancing through old travel journals and Instagram posts. We gaze at souvenirs. All this helps. For a while. Then, what hope do we have?I think hope lies in the very nature of travel. Travel involves wishful thinking. It demands a leap of faith, and of imagination, to board a plane for some faraway, land. Travel is one of the few activities we engage in not knowing the outcome and are drunk in that uncertainty. Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly as planned.That's one reason why I have faith in travel's future. In fact, I'd argue travel is an essential activity. It's not essential the way hospitals and grocery stores are essential. Travel is essential the way books and hugs are essential. Food for the soul. Right now, we're between courses, enjoying where we've been, expecting where we'll go. Maybe it'sZanzibarand maybe it's the campground down the road that you've always wanted to visit.12. From the first paragraph we learn that the author is _______ .A. desperateB. humorousC. boredD. worried13. From the author's perspective, what's the point of travel?A. To feel hopeful.B.

I teach entrepreneurship (社会学). We know many new enterprises fail, and innovators (创业者)need luck.With my students, I spend much time encouraging them to get out of their comfort zone and take some risks. I do this myself all the time. About a dozen years ago, during a flight, I decided to take a little risk. I started a conversation with the man sitting next to me. I introduced myself, and I learned that he was a publisher. I learned all about the future of the publishing industry and we exchanged contact (联系) information. So about three quarters through the night, I decided to take another risk. I showed him a book plan I was doing in my class. Although he was very pol ite, he said it wasn’t right for us.A couple of months later, I told him I was doing a project on transforming the book, the future of publishing and invited him to come to my class. So he gladly came to my class. We had a great experience. A few months later, I wrote to him again, sending a bunch of video clips (剪辑) from another project my students had made. He was so stricken by one of them that he thought there was a book in it. I was a little bit hurt, but it was all right. So I invited him and his colleagues to have lunch together. Later, one of his editors asked me if I had considered writing a book. And I pulled out the exact same plan I had showed his boss a year earlier. Within two years, my book had sold over a million copies.4．We can infer from the author’s experience on the plane that .A．the publisher was stricken by his bookB．that was his first experience by planeC．the first risk during the night didn’t work outD．the experience made him transform his book5．Why did the author send th e students’ video clips?A．To have their book published.

D．Meeting with the stranger on the plane.On winter, a fisherman — Jim Savage — was braving the freezing temperatures when he noticed a baby dolphin struggling to free herself from another fisherman’s traps — the netting. Jim spoke to her and she calmed down as he cut her free from the line. Seeing she was too tired to swim away, he called the Wildlife Conservation Commission and they rescued the dolphin, named her Winter and took her back to the center to get treatment.Winter was placed in a holding tank and the team put a feeding tube in her throat. Soon, though, Winter learned how to eat from a bottle. But the line wrapping around Winter’s tail had caused her tail to fall off piece by piece. Eventually all that was left was a fleshy stump (残肢). Though Winter did eventually start to swim, she taught herself an entirely original way — to swing her tail stump from side to side like a fish.She learned very well and learned how to trust and love the people who cared for her. And she made a new non-human friend — Panama, another rescued dolphin. The two became lifelong friends, completely inseparable.But her trainers were worried, her original moving way prevented her from growing properly. Then Kevin Carroll, a dolphin lover and maker of prosthetic limbs (假肢) for people, stepped in. With a team of experts, vets, and trainers, Kevin developed a new tail for Winter. Winter was retrained to use the device (装置) to swim properly, but with lots of hard work she did it!Word about the disabled dolphin got it and everyone could relate to the dolphin. Now she seems to connect with everyone - from adults with pr ostheses to a little girl who didn’t want to wear her hearing aid until she met Winter.8．What made Winter calm down?A．The netting.B．Jim’s words.C．The rescue team.D．The new tail.9．Why did Jim phone the Wildlife Conservation Commission?A．To cure the baby dolphin.B．To deal with the fishing net.C．To rescue the other fisherman.D．To look at the baby dolphin.10．What made the trainers worried?A．Winter’s relationship with Panama.B．Winter’s popularity with visitors.C．The effect of the damage on Winter.D．Winter’s moving style like other dolphins.11．How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A．It’s beautiful.B．It’s controversial.C．It’s humorous.D．It’s discouraging.Plastic is the workhorse material of the modern economy (经济). Lightweight and durable, it’s been used to make a vast number of products since its introduction over 100 years ago.However, a study carried out by the World Economic Forum, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and McKinsey Company showed the status of the breakdown in the global plastic system. A full 32% of the 78 million tons of plastic packaging produced annually is left to flow into our oceans.The Ocean Cleanup, a start-up founded in 2013, is the brainchild of Boyan Slat, who came up with the idea for the company when he was just 17 years old. Since then, it’s received more than $2 million in funding(基金). The company plans to use a large array (列阵) that will be fixed to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. This will have arms that spread out over 100 km,getting all of the plastic garbage pushed into its nets. This is then collected by a10,000-metre-cube container that will be emptied monthly.Most recently, the Ocean Cleanup launched a team of explorers aboard a specially refitted C-130 Hercules aircraft heavily loaded with specialized sensor equipment. It discovered that the problem was worse than expected with an abundance of plastics measuring up to 1.5 m across and at a higher density than previously thought. The organization will continue to pilot the array and will start cleaning the pile before the end of the decade.Once the plastic is out, what should we do with it? The foundation (基金会) hopes that the plastic from the ocean will have a commercial value which can help to fund the project. Ocean pla stic is not easy to use, it’s mixed by nature consisting of everything from intact PET bottles to micro plastics. However, some of the world's biggest companies also see the chance to market oceans plastic products.Transforming today’s plastics economy fr om its present form (take-make-waste) to a zero waste circular economy (take-make-take-make) is a difficult challenge. However, with cooperative action from producers, recyclers, governments and consumers alike and continuing innovation (革新) it can be done.12．What’s Boyan Slat’s idea about?A．A way to collect ocean plastic waste.B．A new product made of ocean plastic.C．A machine to recycle plastic garbage.D．An organization to research into plastic.13．Which of the following can replace the underlined wor d “density” in Paragraph 4? A．Flexibility. B．Thickness.C．Width. D．Strength.14．What do some biggest companies expect of the ocean plastic?A．It’ll be turned into treasure.B．It’ll sponsor the foundation.C．It’ll cooperate with the government.D．It’ll take the form of take-make-waste. 15．Where is this text most likely from?A．A diary. B．A guidebook.C．A novel. D．A magazine二、七选五Are you one of the increasing number of students who are struggling for college education online? Follow these tips to help you be a successful online learner?Many students assume that online classes require less work and are easier than traditional classes. 16．Arrangement according to class schedule is important.
