She told Cook the time．B. She gave Cook some water．C. She took a photo with Cook．D. She stayed and talked to Cook．18.Clara's act was called a beautiful reminder because ______ ．A. it encouraged people to talk with strangersB. it told people the importance of learning ASLC. it showed there were still people willing to helpD. it proved it was safe for people to travel by airCResearch has already suggested that opening a book mayhelp improve brain function and reduce stress．Now，a teamled by Joanna Sikora of the Australian National University islooking into the benefits of growing up around a book⁃filledenvironment；the researchers' new study suggests that homeswith libraries can arm children with skills that last well intoadulthood．The study looked at data from 1600 000 adults from 31 countries，including the United States，Australia，Turkey and Chile．Participants （参与者）filled out surveys with the Programme for the International Assessment of Competencies，which measures proficiency （水平）in three areas：literacy （读写能力），numeracy and information communication technology．People，25 to 65 years old，were asked to tell how many books were in their house when they were 16 years old．The research team was interested in this question because home library size can be a good sign of "book⁃oriented socialization．" Participants were able to choose from a given range of books that included everything from"10 or less" to "more than 500．"The surveys，which were taken between 2011 and 2015，showed that the average （平均in Turkey，it was 27．In all，however，it seemed that more books in the home was linked to higher proficiency in the areas tested by the survey．The effects were most marked when it came to literacy．Growing up with few books in the home resulted in below average literacy levels．Being surrounded by 80 books raised the levels to average，and literacy continued to improve until libraries reached about 350 books，at which point the literacy rate．leveled off．The researchers saw similar things when it came to numeracy；the effects were not as pronounced with information communication technology tests，but skills did improve with increased numbers of books．So，what does the new study tell us？Take，for example，an adult who grew up with hardly any books in the home，but went on to get a university degree compared to an adult who grew up with a large home library，but only had nine years of schooling．The study found that both of their literacy levels were almost the same．"So，literacy⁃wise，bookish childhood makes up for a good deal of educational advantage，" the study authors write．Further research is needed to decide exactly why exposure to （沉浸在）books in childhood encourages valuable skills later in life，but the study offers further evidence to suggest that reading has a powerful effect on the mind．And so home library size might be important because，as the researchers note，"children emulate （模仿）parents who read．"19.The second paragraph is mainly about ______ ．A. what the study found outB. how the study was carried outC. who were invited to the researchD. why the researchers did the study20.The phrase "leveled off" in Paragraph 4 probably means " ______ "．A. backed to averageB. started fallingC. continued to growD. stopped rising21.The example in Paragraph 5 shows ______ ．A. the disadvantage of having little school educationB. the effect of having a home library in childhoodC. the necessity of raising people's literacy levelD. the importance of getting a university degree22.What can we learn from the passage？______A. The study explained why bookish childhood encouraged valuable skills．B. Adults benefit more from a home library than children．C. Home library size has little to do with numeracy level．D. Parents who love reading benefit children a lot．Robotic Pets I am going to predict how people are going to be with future technology in their life．I think robotic pets are going to be increasingly popular as the technology develops．At least I am going to build what I think is a strong case for this prediction．From a neurological point of view，I do not see anything in theway to people bonding （纽带）fully with robotic pets．The humanbrain can attach （赋予）emotions to things and respond to emotional signaling．Being alive is simply not required．From how objectsmove，our brains infer that they are able to act with their own willand purpose．If they move in a way that cannot be explained simply as passive （被动的）movement，then they must be moving on their own．Therefore，they can connect to the emotional centers in our brains．We either fear them，or love them，or hunger for them，or whatever．We can respond emotionally with cartoon creatures，with animals，and yes，even with robots．Our brains treat things that act alive as if they arealive-no different．One of the opposite points that people often bring up is thatthey love the way their pets behave，not just look．This getsto AI，which has been developing at a fast pace．We have AIthat can beat world masters in chess and go．I have no doubtwe can build AI to mimic （模仿）the behavior of dogs andcats，if not now then probably within a generation．So we will have no problem fully emotionally bonding with arobotic pet．But this doesn't mean we would prefer such apet．One argument against robotic pets is that they will beexpensive compared to a live pet-but this is likely not to be true forever．Living pets need to be fed，and they need at least basic medical care，and they may need to be boarded at times．Also，people spend hundreds of dollars on pets，or thousands of dollars on pure bred species．Robotic pets will finally cost less in total than biological ones．But let's get to the real reason people will prefer robotic pets at last．The possibilities for building in useful technology are endless．An advanced robotic pet could also serve as a defensive and alarm system．You could recharge your cell phone off their batteries．They could be a walking cell phone．They would be excellent companions for the elder，affording them more independence for longer．This in itself would be a huge cost saving-anything that keeps people out of a nursing home is cost effective．Imagination is really the only limitation，once you have the basics of a working robot．When the technology crosses a certain limit，this will be a thing．Future generations may consider keeping a living animal in your home as primitive （原始的）and cruel．They may have a point．23.Why can we bond fully with robotic pets？______A. They can respond to our reactions．B. They can move actively and freely．C. Our brains can treat things differently．D. Our brains can attach emotions to them．24.According to the passage，we know that ______ ．A. robotic pets will be cost effective in the futureB. present AI can mimic all the behaviors of live petsC. the elder prefer to have robotic pets as companionsD. the young think it primitive and cruel to keep live pets25.The writer probably agrees that ______ ．C. technology ensures robotic pets a bright futureD. imagination limits the development of robotic pets三、完形填空（本大题共8小题，共8.0分）If I could go back in timeOne of the most popular topics in the history of science fiction has been the idea of time travel．When I was a child，I often dreamed about a time machine that would allow me to" save" certain moments of my life，so that in case I failed to do something，I could always "load" my life from a checkpoint．As I grew (27)，my life experiences gradually became more diverse （多样的）．In many situations，I had no idea how to act properly，what decisions to make，what path to follow；(28)，I made mistakes．While many of my actions back then turned out for the good in the future，some mistakes provided many painful moments for me and people around me．Mistakes are certain to happen，but they allow us to learn，(29)ourselves，and drive us to change for the better-and still sometimes I would like to jump into a time machine，go back a couple of years ago，and make (30)．Would I try to make other people act in a different way？I think no．I would rather(31)myself about the awaiting consequences （后果）of my most careless decisions．I would talk to a long-haired teen holding his first cigarette and tell him："Don't do that．" So many warnings I would give to myself that sometimes I think：was it really me who did this and that？Having a time machine would make life easier．Perhaps，it is true．But what I think more often now is that living without this teaches us responsibility，about oneself，about important people to us，about one's own life．And besides，our (32)make us what we are today．TodayI am a person leading a healthy，active lifestyle；I try to live each day to fullness in order to(33)nothing．If I could go back in time，I would try to make my (34)better．This is what our parents always try to do when we are children．But you know what？I am glad that no time machine has been invented．26. A. wiser B. older C. stronger D. richer27. A. naturally B. directly C. suddenly D. luckily28. A. love B. enjoy C. develop D. trust29. A. wishes B. journeys C. decisions D. corrections30. A. warn B. comfort C. advise D. criticize31. A. dreams B. changesC. mistakesD. responsibilities32. A. fear B. cost C. miss D. regret33. A. family B. future C. childhood D. education四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）34.330 million nature lovers from all over the worldvisited US national parks in2018．This summer，visitors will have a new park to explore．Indiana DunesNationalPark started on February 15，2019．Just 50 miles fromChicago，the park is doable as a day trip or a multi⁃day adventure．Located （位于）in north western Indiana along the shore of Lake Michigan，Indiana Dunes is the first national park in this state．The park is already Indiana's most⁃visited site，with about 3.5 million visitors each year．Here's what to know before you visit．The park's most impressive features （特点）are its towering sand dunes．Formed by glacial melt （冰川融化），the park's name sake dunes can reach heights of almost 200 feet．The warm months are the best time to take full advantage of the park's beach．But the park is worth visiting in any season．You can do different activities in differentseasons．To see beautiful fall leaves，plan your visit in autumn．Or explore the park in winter and enjoy far fewer crowds．If you visit in spring，just enjoy your walk for beautiful flowers．A 3.5⁃mile path showing the best the park has to offer．The most famous dune is MountBaldy，and on certain days you can actually climb to the top of this sand dune to enjoy open views of the surrounding landscape （风景）．Other outdoor activities at Indiana Dunes National Park include biking，boating，and fishing．Of course，swimming in Lake Michigan is one of the most beloved activities，but it's important to be mindful of changing water conditions．Like an ocean，Lake Michigan can be calm one minute and dangerous the next．The park's Dunewood Campground has 66 campsites and is equipped with restrooms and showers．It is first⁃come，first⁃served，and the fee is 25 pernight．If you don't want to camp，several other accommodations（住宿）around Indiana Dunes don't requires leeping in a tent．Everything from bed and breakfasts to hotels is available．If you're flying to the Midwest，the airports nearest to Indiana Dunes are South Bend International in South Bend，about 45 miles away，and both Midway and O'Hare in Chicago．From Indianapolis，the drive is about 2.5 hours．The park's main gate is just off I⁃94 and is easily accessed from the Indiana Toll Road．Take the exit for IN⁃49 and you will pass right by the visitor center where you can park，head in to get a map，and plan the day．The park fee is just ﹩6 per car and ﹩80 for a season pass．When did Indiana Dunes National Park start？______Where is the park located？______Why is the park worth visiting in any season？______What can you do on the top of Mount Baldy？______What is the purpose of writing the passage？______五、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）35.假如你是李华，你们学校将要举办毕业典礼，你打算邀请外教Tim 参加．请用英语写一封电子邮件，告诉他典礼的时间和地点，组织哪些活动，以及需要做什么准备．提示词语： video， speech， dress formally提示问题：• When and where will you hold the ceremony？• What do you advise Tim to prepare for it？Dear Tim，I'm writing to invite you to take part in our graduation ceremony．_______________．Yours，Li Hua"关爱" 就是关心爱护，它在我们身边无处不在．某英文网站正在开展以"关爱" 为主题的征文活动．假如你是李华，请用英语写一篇短文投稿，谈谈生活中你是怎么做的，以及这样做的意义．提示词语： care， help， happiness提示问题：• What do you do in your daily life？• Why do you do so？___________．答案和解析1.【答案】C【解析】动词give后用宾格作宾语，根据前句"你为爸爸准备了什么东西吗？"可知宾格用him他，句意：我会给他一支漂亮的笔．故选：C．--父亲节就要到了．你为爸爸准备了什么东西吗？--是的．我会给他一支漂亮的笔．解答此类试题时，务必根据题目的要求，在准确理解句子意思的前提下，结合时态准确作答2.【答案】A【解析】on"在…之上、在…时候"；at"在、以、向"；in"在…之内"；to"朝、给、对于"，四者都是介词．on 用于具体的某一天，in用于年、月，用于上、下午和晚上，季节，世纪前．at 用于时刻前．由题干"请在5点钟喊醒我．我不得不赶早班火车．"可知，空格是"在（某一时刻）"，用at，因此答案应是at．故选：A．请在5点钟喊醒我．我不得不赶早班火车．本题考查时间介词的用法，在熟知所供词的含义基础上，根据句意，从而判断出正确答．3.【答案】D【解析】根据答句By working hard and thinking more．通过努力工作和多思考．可知问句的疑问词是how 怎样，句意：我怎么才能更好呢故选：D．--我怎么才能更好呢--通过努力工作和多思考．解答此类试题时，务必根据题目的要求，在准确理解句子意思的前提下，结合时态准确作答4.【答案】A【解析】根据句意：Sara很激动，因为她赢了竞赛．结合选项，A．因为B．虽然C．直到D．除非，选项A符合题意．故选：A．Sara很激动，因为她赢了竞赛．熟悉从属连词的基本用法，结合选项，给出答案．5.【答案】B【解析】根据spring or autumn可知用比较级better更喜欢，句意：露西，你喜欢北京的哪个季节，春天还是秋天？故选：B．--露西，你更喜欢北京的哪个季节，春天还是秋天？--秋天．解答此类试题时，务必根据题目的要求，在准确理解句子意思的前提下，结合时态准确作答【解析】根据句意"等一会．我正在做作业，快做完了"可知，要用现在进行时，其构成为am/ is/ are doing．故选：B．山姆，我们一起打扫吧．等一会．我正在做作业，快做完了．考查时态要根据时间状语，上下文的关系和语气等，综合判断，也要牢记各种时态的构成．7.【答案】C【解析】A．lose，动词原形，用于一般现在时；A．lost，过去式，用于一般过去时；C．will lose，用于一般将来时；D．have lost，用于现在完成时．此句是if 引导的条件状语从句，主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时，由题干可知，if you do exercise every day 是if引导的从句，you weight 是主句，主句用一般将来时，will+动词原形，空格处用will lose．故选：C．约翰，如果你每天锻炼身体，你就会减肥的．本题考查if 引导的条件状语从句，遵循主将从现的原则，结合题意，选出正确答案．8.【答案】D【解析】根据since the Internet was invented可知主句用现在完成时，have/has+过去分词故选：D．自从互联网发明以来，我们的生活发生了很大的变化．解答此类试题时，务必根据题目的要求，在准确理解句子意思的前提下，结合时态准确作答9.【答案】B【解析】根据句意"我想看，但当时我妈妈正在看她最喜欢的电视节目"可知，要用过去进行时，其构成为was/ were doing．故选：B．昨晚你看电视上的篮球赛了吗？我想看，但当时我妈妈正在看她最喜欢的电视节目．对时态和语态的考查，要求牢记各种时态和语态的构成形式，结合时间状语和上下文的关系，找出正确答案．10.【答案】D【解析】根据句意"你想吃点饼干吗？我昨天买的"可知，要用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式．故选：D．你想吃点饼干吗？我昨天买的．对时态和语态的考查，要求牢记各种时态和语态的构成形式，结合时间状语和上下文的关系，找出正确答案．11.【答案】B【解析】句意：为了安全问题，中国的高速列车每天晚上都要被检查。

Through the years, people have worn jewelry for different 13 :to make themselves look beautiful , to protect them from bad things , and to 14 how much money they have.In South Africa , men in the Ndebele tribe 〔部 落 〕often gave their 15 jewelry made of silver or gold rings. Ndebele women wore necklaces around their necks andbracelets around their arms. Rings were 16 worn on their legs. The rings showed wealth. A woman with many rings had a 〔 n 〕 17 husband. In the past, women only took the rings off when their husbands died. Today Ndebele women still wear the rings , but not all of the time.People in India have been wearing jewelry for more than 5,000 years. In the past , both men and women wore a lot of jewelry. Women wore as many as 50 bracelets at a time!Over time , men 18 wearing so much jewelry , but for women jewelry continues to be very important.In India , jewelry means safety. If a family has trouble with money , they can always 19 their jewelry. And , as with the Ndebele tribe , jewelry means wealth. Indian women can expect to receive jewelry as gifts for each important life event , such as birth, marriage, and becoming a mother.In ancient China , people wore jewelry not just to show wealth but also for 20 . They believed that the jade 〔玉 石 〕used in their jewelry was alive and that it could keep bad things away. Many Chinese people today still believe this , and some people only wear the bracelets on their left arms.13. A. reasons B. clothes C. places D. problems14. A. ask B. show C. guess D. explain15.

D 四个选项中,选择最正确选项？〔共26分,每题2分〕Thinking outside the BoxIf you think young people can't have an influence on the world , think again. Over the years , teens have invented excellent things that solve problems and have changed the ways people do things.Take fourteen-year-old Eliott Sarrey for example. He invented Bot2Karot , a gardening robot that can take care of a small vegetable garden. The robot is controlled by an app on a smartphone. It helps people grow and take care of vegetables. It also saves water and energy, and makes gardening easy for people who are very busy or have difficulty getting around.Brooke Martin is an animal lover who missed her dog when she was away. So she invented iCPooch when she was just twelve years old. The iCPooch lets pet owners check on their pets from anywhere in the world using asmartphone. It also allows owners to use their smartphone cameras to video chat with their pets.Fourteen-year-old inventor Robert Saunt was tired of buying or borrowing different video-game controllers for each game console 〔操 控器 〕.So he invented a controller called Game Blox. It can be used with four of the most popular game consoles. His invention will save players a lot of money and space, and it will save 330 million kg of materials every year.Kids all over the world find ways to solve problems every day. Who knows?Maybe the next time you have aproblem , you'll come up with the next amazing idea!21. If you have no time to take care of your vegetable garden , can help you.16. A. stillB. never 17.

According to the passage, Robert Saunt .A. is an animal loverB. was tired of playing gamesC. invented a controllerD. helps with gardeningBParisian architect〔建筑〕Paul Andreu has designed so many landmark buildings in China.Among his best known are the National Grand Theatre in Beijing , the Jinan Grand Theatre and Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Andreu is nearly 80 and he continues to develop projects in China. The world famous architect, writer and painter held his first art show last summer in Beijing where he sat down for this interview.气；itEnniil； lirsriJ TTiuut rcJit Lini rjraitai Tlth训r 防闻卬犀I mem nriunjl 'ifjn 匕nHow was it that you went from architecture to writing —and more recently to painting?I have a desire to create, for continuous renewal. While I can't say that I know everything about architecture, I no longer have much to prove or discover. For me , painting is just as important , creatively , but it's something you do alone in your workshop , with a piece of paper and a pot of ink — it's totally refreshing.Why did you wait so many years to start painting?It was a kind of need. I was tired off in my field and wanted to try something new and I tried to improve this situation by writing. But writing is a very long process ——it takes at least a year to write a book. Painting is faster. Being alone with yourself during the day , in the light , and then putting yourself in a situation where you produce something of which you know nothing and for which no one has asked— it's a kind of freedom you seldom have in life.What is your project in China right now?There's a project in the Zhuhai Macao area. The Chinese engineering and building company Zhuhai Da Heng Qin asked French architect Thomas Coldefy to think about the project , suggesting that he work with an architect who's already known in China. He asked me if I'd be willing to do some of the work. We'll present the project some time before December;the planned completion date is in 2021.24. Paul Andreu has gone from architecture to painting because .A. he likes paper and inkB. he thinks painting is fasterC. he has a desire to createD. he has to prove that he is great25. Where is Paul Andreu's project in China now?A. In Beijing.B. In Jinan.C. In Shanghai Pudong.D. In the Zhuhai Macao area.26. What do you know about Paul Andreu from the passage?A. His achievements.B. His challenges.C. His worries.D. His habits.CAfter the holiday season , our guess is that you are tired from visiting the store and buying gifts. It is easy to get stuck, both spiritually and physically by having too much. This is why minimalism and living simply should be your resolution for 2021.Economic development results in a lot of consumerism〔消费〕:get a good job, get a nice car, and settle into a beautiful house. But some people say that our lives could use a little lightening these days:We work and workand work to only buy and buy and buy — but does all that material wealth really lead to our happiness?Are we filling our time with unnecessary things , when we should be filling our time with friends , value, and service?An article from the website , Becoming Minimalist , points out the problem with this cycle〔循环〕 in the best way, 'Nobody really believes happiness is directly tied to the number of things we own.Yet almost all of us live like it. We get stuck in it. We work more hours than ever before , earn more income, but save less.〞Minimalism isn't all about ridding〔摆脱〕consumerism and products from your life. Minimalism is about finding your own sense of self and focusing on the things you love. It is about creating a lifestyle that is focused on only those people and things that enrich you.These days, minimalistic living can come in many forms. We think the most practical form of minimalistic living for us is to follow our list:How You Can Live Lighter in 2021.Purge Your Closet:Take a day and clear out all of your drawers and closets. If something doesn't have special meaning or adds no value to your life ——give it away. Have only what you need and what you can see.Test Those Limits:See how long you can go without shopping. Give yourself a limit , whether it be two weeks or six months , whether it be avoiding a certain mall or buying clothes. Then put your self will to the test. After your allowed time , chances are you will realize all those extra blouses weren't worth it and you will set yourself up for future spending control.Cut the Cord:This sometimes means giving up your modern technology:TV , cell phone , computer, etc. Limit yourself to only a few hours of TV per week , or only 30 minutes of social media per day. You'll make more time for the things and people that you love and clear out some unnecessary noise from your life.Live to Your Goals:Find out what your life goals and values are. Then , see what may help you or stop you from achieving this goal. Cut out that which doesn't lead to your happiness and success and add more of what does. Remember, a pared down lifestyle doesn't mean less success or less happiness. It represents your freedom to focus on the things in life that really matter.27. The cycle 'people work and work only to buy and buy " shows.A. people get stuck physically and spirituallyB. people don't believe wealth leads to happinessC. people don't want to save moreD. people fall in love with buying28. To practise minimalistic living , you shouldA. give away your drawers and closetsB. go to the shopping mall every six monthsC. have 30 minutes of social media per dayD. discover your life goals and values29. The words “ pared down " in the last paragraph probabl y mean . 〞A. freeB. lightC. popularD. convenient30. Which of the following best explains the writer's opinion?A. It might take you a long time to wait for the “ right “ thing.B. Clear out the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.C. Change yourself with the development of society.D. Freedom is more important than success.DA research study has looked into what happens inside your brain while you read and listen to music. You know that thrill〔兴奋〕you get when listening to your favorite music?That exciting feeling when you hear your favorite songs?According to a recent study , it seems the same thing can happen while you are reading , but not with every kind of text. This opens up interesting questions around how music, reading and emotions are connected in the brain.The study“ We decided we woulddo a comparison between four or five different kinds of texts to see how the brain reacted, “ explains Adam Zeman a scientist. " The participants 者〕lay in an MRI scanner reading the texts, and then we compared brai n activity for those five texts. xts ranged “ The te 〔涉及〕from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones , including the Highway Code , parts from novels, and poems.So what happened in the participants brains while they were reading? Emotional reactionAs the researchers observed, participants found some texts more emotional than others. When reading these emotional texts, there was higher activity in brain areas related to pleasure and reward—the same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music. As Zeman says , “ it perfectly shows that the emotional reaction to literature〔文学〕and to music has quite a bit in common. So it doesn't seem to matter whether you are listening or reading if you get a thrill. That was one quite strong finding. 〞Introspection〔内省〕There were more interesting findings. Reading poetry is often considered an activity that requires us to use the brain, but did the study find any truth of this?When the participants were reading poems, the team found there was more activity in a particular group of brain areas called the Default Network. " These areas seem to be related to things we do with our minds when we are resting, like thinking about what's happened to us recently , thinking about what's going to happen in the near future, about other people, and that network seems to be more strongly related to poetry than with other texts , “ explains Zeman. This connection between poetry and introspection could be the subject of further research. ConclusionsThe study shows that the different texts activate different areas of our brains when we read. Zeman says, “ the study did support what we thought:reaction to literature was going to be a bit like the one to music in terms of emotion. We felt that we ended up with a great deal of unanswered questions which we hope somebody will conti nue to ask. 〞31. What did the research try to find out?A. How music helps us read different kinds of texts.B. What kind of texts most people like while listening to music.C. Why reading different texts causes different reactions in emotion.D. Whether reading can cause similar emotional reaction like music does. 32. What did the participants do inthe study?A. They listened to music.B. They read different texts.C. They answered many questions.D. They compared brain activities. 33. What can we learn from the study?A. The emotional texts work better for the research.B. Poetry reading can activate the Default Network.C. Music helps to bring pleasure and reward.D. People think about the past when resting.四？阅读短文,根据短文内容答复以下问题？〔共10分,每题2分〕Mom's Recipe for LifeI have a lot of Mom's recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put , like the pumpkin pie she made during my growing up years. Even so , the recipe I treasure most is not on any index card , nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead , she lived this recipe all of her life.My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitude continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.As a teen, I was embarrassed尴尬的〕every time my mother talked to strangers and offered a smile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded〔回应〕with a bright smile of their own. Some spoke , others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a little light into their day.What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeks I could not be there , she used this low cost transportation to the grocery store. After her first trip , I asked her how it went."Ha! " she said' I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one old man, and not one word was spoken. 〞I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit , Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“Oh are you talking with them now?〞 I asked.“Of course " she said. " One day I climbed up the steps of t he 〔bibefoire I looked for a seat, I gave them a big smile and I said , ' Isn't it a wonderful day? I noticed a few shy smiles. 〞Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long , thewhole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.When we went to the various stores , I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers. Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met , but once Mom smiled at them and started a conversation, most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I found myself admiring her.She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done the smiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example. She'd given me a recipe for life.34. Where did the writer's mom grow up?35. Did the people talk on the bus on Mom's first trip?36. What did Mom do to make the bus more than transportation?37. How did the writer feel about Mom in the end?38.

This book is special because I worked with a close foreign friend to translate some Chinese poems into English , which was very challenging. In order to make them better accepted andeasier to understand, we collected lots of materials from the library and the Internet. It took me and my friend one year to translate them.During the process of translating the poems and working with my friend , I learned a lot about the world around me and really got in touch with my soul. Furthermore , I think my English is better than it used to be. Most importantly , I learned the value of teamwork. My friend and I were determined to finish this huge task and that's exactly what we did. I feel so proud of my achievement and I hope I can publish my book soon. 书面表达评分标准第一档：〔10 ~ 9分〕完全符合题目要求,观点正确,要点齐全？句式多样,词汇丰富？语言准确, 语意连贯, 表达清楚,具有逻辑性？第二档：〔8 ~ 6分〕根本符合题目要求,观点正确,要点齐全W法结构和词汇根本满足文章需要？语言根本通顺,语意根本连贯,表达根本清楚？虽然有少量语言错误,但不影响整体理解？第三档：〔5 ~ 3分〕局部内容符合题目要求,要点不齐全W法结构和词汇错误较多,语言不通顺,表达不够清楚,影响整体理解？第四档：〔2 ~ 0分〕与题目有关内容不多,只是简单拼凑提示词语,所写内容难以理解？。

As the sign-up sheet went up and down the rows, I started to come up with my 36 . Maybe it was the distance to the college where the event was to take place, or the early hour that 37 had to report for duty. Whatever the reasons that made me hesitate, I am thankful to this day that I 38 up volunteering. If I had missed the event, I would have missed one of the most unforgettable moments that I have ever 39 .I arrived at the volunteer tent bright and early. My task was 40 . I was to stand at the finish line only and wait until the event was over and then take the 41 to the announcing booth<公告处>. Standing at the finish line, I was able to witness many amazing efforts and close races. I was most impressed by the effort each athlete put into his or her 42 . What also impressed me was the sincere 43 each athlete expressed while participating though sometimes the joy of participating in a sporting event can get 44 in the fierce competition of winning and losing.Then an amazing moment happened right before my eyes. A group of athletes were 45up to run a short race. One of them was in a wheelchair, a little girl with a 46 smile, wearing bright bows in her hair. Her smile filled the stadium that day. I couldn’t help but smile back at her.The gun sounded. They were off. Runners sped up in the 47 with all their might. My eyes48 for the little girl with the bright bows. There she was, pumping her arms with all the49 she had. Her efforts were getting little result, but that did not stop her. I noticed as she got closer that she also had an injured arm.

According to the text, it is safer to ______.A. have at least four passengersB. push the user from behind at the startC. drive on the highway instead of on hillsD. wear loose clothes while using the vehicle58. Where can you probably find the text?A. An official report.B. A popular magazine.C. A physics textbook.D. A product handbook.BTwo of the saddest words in the English language are "if only〞. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, "Take the extra minute to do it right.〞I always try to live by the "extra minute〞rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an "if only〞moment, whether it was somethingminor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding <衬垫> onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don’t only avoid those "if only〞moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid "if only〞in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say "I love you〞or "I forgive you.〞When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say "if only〞about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.59. Which of the following is an example of the "extra minute〞rule?A.Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B.Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C.Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D.Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.60. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.A.keep her appointment with the eye doctorB. meet her father who was already an old manC.join in the holiday celebration of the companyD.finish her work before the deadline approached61.The underlined word "foregone〞in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.A. abandonedB. lackedC. avoidedD. wasted62.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Emotional Well-beingB.The Two Saddest WordsC.The Most Useful RuleD.The Peace of MindCTurning the lights out or wearing a blindfold while eating could be a quick way to lose weight, according to scientists. The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories. It also triggers <引发> a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may go bad.An experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany, found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full, compared to those who could see. They also vastly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate. Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88 percent more than they actually had.Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in realtime rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full.In the experiment, 50 people were blindfolded and 40 were allowed to see their food. All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment. They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice cream and invited to eat for 15 minutes. Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice-cream weighed, while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten.On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blindfolded groups ate 105g. However, the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers. They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated lower than those who could see."The experienced pleasure of eating was significantly lower in the blindfolded group. Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite. Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience.〞Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste. While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark state that it triggers other senses, in fact eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.63. With the lights out, diners eat less partly because ______.A. they want to quickly finish their mealsB. they trust their feelings more than everC. they focus more on fun than the caloriesD. they worry about the quality of the food64. We can learn from the passage that the blindfolded group ______.A. spent a much longer time eating the same foodB. believed they ate more than they really didC. depended on past experiences to feel fullD. thought the food tasted better than usual65. The last two paragraphs tellus that ______.A. diners are likely to lose their appetite eating in darknessB. sensesrather than sight play an important role in the tasteC. findings of this experiment differ from the previous studiesD. restaurants benefit a lot from allowing diners to eat in the dark66. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. provide statistics related to eating in the darkB. offer reasons for people to eat in the dark areasC. inform the readers of the result of an experimentD. persuade the readers to lose weight in a new wayDLet us all raise a glass to AlphaGo and the advance ofartificial intelligence.AlphaGo, DeepMind’s Go-playingAI, just defeated the best Go-playing human, Lee Sedol.But as we drink to its success, we should also begintrying to understand what it means for the future.The number of possible moves in a game of Go is so huge that, in order to win against a player like Lee, AlphaGo was designed to adopt a human-like style of gameplay by using a relativelyrecent development—deep learning. Deep learning uses large data sets, "machine learning〞algorithms <计算程序> and deep neural <神经的> networks to teach the AI how to perform a particular set of tasks. Rather than programming complex Go rules and strategies into AlphaGo, DeepMind designers taught AlphaGo to play the game by feeding it data based on typical Go moves. Then, AlphaGo played against itself, tirelessly learning from its own mistakes and improving its gameplay over time. The results speak for themselves.Deep learning represents a shift in the relationship humans have with their technological creations. It results in AI that displays surprising and unpredictable behaviour. Commenting after his first loss, Lee described being shocked by an unconventional move he claimed no human would ever have made. Demis Hassabis, one of DeepMind’s founders, echoed this comment: "We’re very pleased that AlphaGo played some quite surprising and beautiful moves.〞Unpredictability and surprises are—or can be—a good thing. They can indicate that a system is working well, perhaps better than the humans that came before it. Such is the case with AlphaGo. However, unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control. That Hassabis is surprised at his creation’s behaviour suggests a lack of control in the design. And though some loss of control might be fine in the context of a game such as Go, it raises urgent questions elsewhere.How much and what kind of control should we give up to AI machines? How should we design appropriate human control into AI that requires us to give up some of that very control? Is there some AI that we should just not develop if it means any loss of human control? How much of a say should corporations, governments, experts or citizens have in these matters? These important questions, and many others like them, have emerged in response, but remain unanswered. They require human, not human-like, solutions.So as we drink to the milestone in AI, let’s also drink to the understanding that the time to answer deeply human questions about deep learning and AI is now.67. What contributes most to the unconventional move of AlphaGo in the game?A. The capability of self-improvement.B. The constant input of large data sets.C. The installation of deep neutral networks.D. The knowledge of Go rules and strategies.68.A potential danger of AI is ______.A. the loss of human controlB. the friendly relationshipC. the fierce competitionD. the lack of challenge69.How should we deal with the unpredictability of AI?A. We should stop AI machines from developing even further.B. We should call on the government to solve these problems for us.C. We should rely on ourselves and come up with effective solutions.D. We should invent even more intelligent machines to solve everything.70.What’s the author’s attitude towards this remarkable advance in AI?A. Supportive.B. Optimistic.C. Doubtful.D. Cautious.第二节〔共5小题；每小题2分,共10分〕根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Being Left-handed in a Right-handed WorldThe world is designed for right-handed people, but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left? 71The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families, it’s assumed that left-handedness has a genetic<基因的> component to it.72 In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that it’s kind of random.Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures. 73 In some areas, the left hand became known as the "unclean〞hand. In many religions, the right hand of God is the favored hand. For example, Jesus sits at God’s right side. God’s left hand, however, is the hand of judgement. Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. 74 A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.75 People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed, including Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Charlie Chaplin. Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed worldas well. Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now; instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in.A. In other words, left-handers are born that way.B. Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability.C. The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied.D. Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities?E. Why do some parents force their left-handed children to become right-handed when writing?F. In Ghana, pointing, gesturing, giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude.G. Fortunately, nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before.第四部分：书面表达<共两节,35分>第一节〔15分〕假设你是高三学生李华,得知你的美国笔友Peter暑假要来中国旅游并在停留一天.有两条游览路线让他犹豫不决：1〕长城一日游; 2〕天安门广场、故宫一日游.Peter想征询你的意见.请你根据以下内容,给他写一封电子.内容包括：1. 欢迎他来旅游；2. 推荐路线并说明理由；3. 提出可以陪他游览一天.注意：1. 词数不少于50；2. 开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数.Dear Peter,Yours,Li Hua第二节〔20分〕假设你是红星中学的学生李华.请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序,用英文写一篇周记, 记述上周日你和父母一起骑车郊游的过程.注意：词数不少于60.提示词: 郊区the suburbs市西城区2016年高三二模试卷英语答案2016.5第一部分：听力理解〔共三节,30分〕第一节〔共5小题；每小题1.5分,共7.5分〕1.
