AAuthentic Asian characteristic, exciting entertainment and inviting festivals are all parts of what our guests can expect when they visit Asia Park in Da Nang.

The Hanami Festival is certainly a memorable experiencefor guests as they are met with a breath-taking display of colorful cherry blossoms and have the opportunity to get involved in activities such as traditional tea ceremonies, calligraphy writing, and cosplay.W A TER FESTIV ALSongkran traditional water festival plays an important role in the cultural identity of Thailand.

Having successively picked up Italian a decade earlier when he lived in Italy, he felt the challenge was gettable.Elliott, who is now 50, explains, “I feel like Italian is deep down in my head somewhere, but withSpanish it will take a lot more effort for me to get to that level. I’ve noticed that my brain isn’t as good as it was.”It’s often said that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Actually this proverb is, for the most珠海市2021年9月高三摸底考试英语试卷第2页（共10页）part, not true. It was generally thought that the adult brain was believed to be a fixed structure that, once damaged, could not be repaired. But the research published since the 1960s has challenged this assumption, showing that it is what changes itself in response to new experiences, and adapts to injuries.This research suggests that a young man can learn something new easily, but that the older they are,the harder it is for them to do so.Some aspects of language learning become more difficult with age. Others may get easier. Pickingup a new language’s vocabulary is much easier for adults than learning the rules that govern its grammar. This is because new words can be easily connected with a learner’s pre-existing knowledge. But older learners are less likely to have good pronunciation or accent, since the sound of a new language is picked up naturally by children.Despite the difficulties, Elliott regards learning foreign languages as fun. “I’ m doing it partly tokeep my brain active.” he says. “When you have some success and can express yourself, it feels like you’re using different parts of your brain that you weren’t using before.”24.When Elvin Elliott decided to learn Spanish, _______.A.he was then forty years oldB.he lived in Spain with his wifeC.he made success in his workD.he wanted to make friends25.The author mentioned the underlined proverb in the passage _______.A.to show that old dogs are too foolishB.to explain the true meaning of “new tricks”C.to indicate Elliott is different from othersD.to show the saying doesn’t agree with Elliott26.The difficulty for an adult to learn a new language is that _______.A.he can’t remember so many new wordsB.he can’t pronounce the words correctlyC.he can’t master the grammar rules easilyD.he can’t understand the language fully27.What can we infer by reading the passage?A.An old dog will learn no new tricks.B.No one is so old that he may not learn.C.Nothing comes from nothing.D.Never offer to teach fish to swimCWhen the acupuncture needles were inserted into his body, Florian Don, the Oscar-winning director, struggled to keep smiling in front of his wife and three kids, who were holding breath and watching attentively.“It can hurt a little, but the pain does not stay; it takes a fewseconds and then it goes away,” Don told Xinhua on Friday at anacupuncture clinic.Don has been coming to the Beijing ChineseMedical Center in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, every week for threemonths.This 44-year-old German director is best known forhis thriller Their Lives, which won the Best Foreign Language FilmAward at the 79th Oscars in 2007.Y ears of working hard in the movie industry causedDon neck pains, and it got serious in February when the doctor told him he needed surgery. Then a nurse suggested him trying Traditional Chinese Medicine and to see Dr. Wu at the Beijing Chinese Medical Center.As a recognized authority on Traditional Chinese Medicine with a degree in Western medicine, Dr.Wu has been practicing in Santa Monica for 27 years.Don admitted that it was scary when he saw the acupuncture needles for the first time. “A cupuncture is a very pinpoint, careful and caring process. The doctor can not miss by a few millimeters,” he told Xinhua, “With Dr. Wu, you feel so much the deep wisdom, the experience, the knowledge. I feel it so much and I trust him.”His trust paid him back. Without any surgery, Don's problem was solved in one month. “I found thatWestern medicine can be very aggre ssive, and it has extreme side effects,” Don said. “But for Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, they do not have side effects; it is about activating (激活) the energy and oxygen flow in the body, and it is about helping the body heal itself.”28.Don felt _______ when he took the acupuncture needles.A.painlessB.scaredC.acceptableD.miserable29.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A.Dr. Wu is a recognized authority on Western medicine.B.Don has been treated with acupuncture needles for three times.C.Dr. Wu has been practicing in Santa Monica, Los Angeles since 1990.D.Their Lives won the Best Film Award at the 79th Oscars in 2007.30.The word underlined in the 7th paragraph can be replaced by _______.A.preciseB.helpfulC.practicalD.serious31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Chinese Acupuncture Needle Does Not Have Side Effects at AllB.Oscar-winning Director T akes a Fancy to Chinese AcupunctureC.Chinese Acupuncture Needle Does Good to Serious Neck PainsD.German Director Is Treated by an Authority on Western MedicineDThe amount of conflicting advice there is on how to bring up happy and successful children can make your head spin. Parents often find themselves questioning how strict they should be with youngsters and how much independence they should allow them.Now a new book by psychologists says our approach is wrong – because we're training them to be computers, reports NPR.Instead of focusing on “success” at school, we should be teaching them how to be better at being social, navigate relationships and be good citizens in a community. That's according to two professors who have written Becoming Brilliant: What Science T ells Us About Raising Successful Children.“We're training kids to do what computers do, which is to spit back facts,” Kathy Hirsh-Pasek,professor at T emple University in Philadelphia, told the website. “And computers are always going to be better than human beings at that.”This way of thinking challenges our definition of what success in school and out of school means,they say. Instead, we should focus on the “six Cs”of parenting, says Professor Hirsh-Pasek and herco-author Roberta Golinkoff from the University of Delaware. This is cooperation, communication, content, critical thinking (批判性思维), creative innovation and confidence – listed in order of importance.The first, cooperation, is basic but at the core of parenting. “cooperation is everything from gettingalong with others to controlling your impulses (冲动) so you can not kick someone else off the swing,” Professor Hirsh-Pasek explained. “Everything your child does, in the classroom or at home, has to be built on that foundation.”The authors give a practical example of encouraging critical thinking – you should make sure youdo not shut them down when they ask a question. And you should encourage them to ask more. Y ou want them to understand how other people think.The book explains that there are four levels to each of the six C's, which allow parents to assesshow strong they are in each skill. They stress that social interaction between parents and children iswhat helps set up the child for the development of these skills. “What we do w ith little kids today will matter in 20 years.” says Hirsh-Pasek.32.According to psychologists’ new book, which should NOT be the approach to teaching children?A.Getting on well with other people.B.Being successful in social interaction.珠海市2021年9月高三摸底考试英语试卷第6页（共10页）C.Being good citizens in a community.D.Being good only at academic performance.33.Which is the best example of “to spit back facts”?A.T o analyze reading materials independently.B.T o provide original answers from different angles.C.T o recite all the English words learned in class.D.T o work out creative solutions to a problem.34.According to the “six Cs” of parenting, cooperation _______.A.teaches a child to get on with othersB.means controlling parents’ impulsesC.means encouraging children to ask a questionD.is the least importance on teaching children35.The passage mainly introduces _______.A.what helps set up the child for the development of six skillsB.how to stop training children to “spit back facts” like computersC.how to bring up happy and successful children by giving adviceD.how to raise children according to science and focus on the six Cs其次节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. explain how the author learns English well as a teenB. help people to understand American immigrants betterC. introduce the life in her hometown Quinceo in MexicoD. persuade immigrants not to drop their mother tongueCIn our youth-obsessed culture, one would assume that your self-esteem peaks in your 20s—but that’s not the case. Researchers from the University of Bern set out to determine when the av erage person’s self-esteem is the highest, and the good news is that your peak comes decades later.Researchers found that self-esteem increases throughout one’s lifetime, with a slight plateau during those awkward teen years. Our self-esteem levels then s tart rising again and don’t peak until well into midlife. The highest point for self-esteem level happened at age 60 when they can retire and stayed there until a slight decline in one’s 70s and 80s.This news that our self-esteem will continue to rise or stay steady during the majority of our lives is exciting. We often hear of increased stress in the decades of midlife, but there are upsides too. “Midlife is, for many adults, a time of high stability in relationships and work. Moreover, most people further invest in their roles, which might promote their self-esteem,” researcher Dr. Orth told the journalist. “For example, people take on managerial roles at work, maintain a satisfying relationship with their spouse or partner, and help their children become responsible and independent.”As we age and our roles tend to change, it’s natural for self-esteem to take a small hit. “Old age frequently involves loss of social roles as a result of retirement, the empty nest, and, possibly, widowhood. In addition, aging often leads to negative changes in other possible sources of self-esteem, such as socioeconomic status and health.” Dr. Orth said. However, it’s important to remember that it’s only a slight decrease. Dr. Orth believes that most people maintain a high self-esteem level even into their 90s and beyond.28. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “peak”?A. Minimum.B. Maximum.C. Average.D. Height.29. Who is more likely to have the highest self-esteem level?A. A newly-retired person.B. A teenage boy.C. A person in his/her 80s.D. A middle-aged person.30. What does Dr. Orth think of the decrease in self-esteem for the old people?A. It is destructive.B. It is unnatural.C. It is important.D. It is acceptable.31. Where is the text most likely from?A. A travel guide.B. A science report.C. A novel.D. A business magazine.DThe start of the U.S. Atlantic hurricane season is just over two weeks away and forecasters are expecting particularly high activity this year. With warmer than usual conditions expected in the North Atlantic this summer, meteorologists have predicted that the season could produce eight or more hurricanes.While forecasters cannot predict how many hurricanes —if any —will make landfall, the potential for dangerous storms to strike the southern and eastern coasts brings an additional problem for authorities already struggling with the COVID-19.Experts say that the COVID-19 is affecting the capabilities of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other organizations involved in responding to natural disasters.Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Jeffrey Talley, who now leads global efforts on disaster management at IBM’s Center for the Business of Government, said that with FEMA and other authorities engaged with responding to the COVID-19, resources will be limited if a hurricane strikes.“When we look at a disaster... I think of it in terms of how we prepare for, respond to and recover from those types of events,” Talley said. “Right now we’re in the middle of the response of COVID-19. None of us are really sure how long it’s going to last and how the response to disasters is going to be different, say, two months from now, six months from now, so on and so forth,” he said.According to Talley, the COVID-19 could complicate the response to a hurricane by interrupting the flow of emergency supplies to areas where they are urgently needed at crucial moments.Social distancing and stay-at-home orders will also force authorities along the south and east coast to rethink how they manage people who must leave their homes in the event of a disaster. While many states are already lifting some lockdown restrictions, social distancing will still be important for many months to come.32. When will the first hurricane possibly arrive in US this summer?A. In about eight days.B. In about six months.C. In about two months.D. In more than two weeks.33. According to Talley, how could COVID-19 influence the response to a hurricane?A. More people will leave home to fight against a hurricane.B. Rescue materials might not reach disaster areas sometimes.C. Lockdown can greatly reduce damage and injury.D. The pandemic makes it harder to predict hurricanes.34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People throughout the country no longer need to stay at home.B. The state governments are confident about tackling hurricanes.C. Authorities along the coasts will stick to the former orders.D. It is necessary to keep social distance in the coming months.35. What is the best title for the text?A. More Destructive Hurricanes to Be Expected.B. More Difficult to Forecast Hurricanes Coming.C. COVID-19 to Worsen Hurricane Response.D. Social Distancing Needed in Coming Months.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AAuthentic Asian characteristic, exciting entertainment and inviting festivals are all parts of what our guests can expect when they visit Asia Park in Da Nang. Enjoy the beauty of Da Nang city in its entirety from the impressive heights of the Sun Wheel and freely discover fantastic Asia with colorful festivals and markets.HANAMI FESTIV ALFor the Japanese people, the cherry blossom symbolizes nobleness and modesty.

This is a popular cultural activity in Asia Park and certainly not one to be missed.COLOR ME RUN (DA NANG)Color Me Run is a unique cultural sporting event. Runnerswill experience a huge party with sound and color. Color Me Run is atake on the famous Holi Festival of the Hindu people which takesplace all over India and Nepal.21.Y ou will NOT see_______ when you visit Asia Park.A.beautiful scenery of Asia from the Sun WheelB.fantastic entertainment with Asian characteristicC.good experiences of different exciting activitiesD.very colorful and inviting festivals and markets22.If you like to experience an activity of sound and color, you should go to _______.A.Hanami FestivalB.Songkran W ater FestivalC.Icheon Rice Cultural FestivalD.Color Me Run23.The passage is most likely taken from _______.A.an advertisementB.a brochureC.a speechD.an abstractBWhen Elvin Elliott met his Spanish partner 10 years ago, he was determined to learn her home language. Having successively picked up Italian a decade earlier when he lived in Italy, he felt the challenge was gettable.Elliott, who is now 50, explains, “I feel like Italian is deep down in my head somewhere, but with Spanish it will take a lot more effort for me to get to that level. I’ve noticed that my brain isn’t as good as it was.”It’s often said that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Actually this proverb is, for the mostpart, not true. It was generally thought that the adult brain was believed to be a fixed structure that, once damaged, could not be repaired. But the research published since the 1960s has challenged this assumption, showing that it is what changes itself in response to new experiences, and adapts to injuries.This research suggests that a young man can learn something new easily, but that the older they are, the harder it is for them to do so.Some aspects of language learning become more difficult with age. Others may get easier. Picking up a new language’s vocabulary is much easier for adults than learning the rules that govern its grammar. This is because new words can be easily connected with a learner’s pre-existing knowledge. But older learners are less likely to have good pronunciation or accent, since the sound of a new language is picked up naturally by children.Despite the difficulties, Elliott regards learning foreign languages as fun. “I’ m doing it partly to keep my brain active.” he says. “When you have some success and can express yourself, it feels like you’re using different parts of your brain that you weren’t using before.”24.When Elvin Elliott decided to learn Spanish, _______.A.he was then forty years oldB.he lived in Spain with his wifeC.he made success in his workD.he wanted to make friends25.The author mentioned the underlined proverb in the passage _______.A.to show that old dogs are too foolishB.to explain the true meaning of “new tricks”C.to indicate Elliott is different from othersD.to show the saying doesn’t agree with Elliott26.The difficulty for an adult to learn a new language is that _______.A.he can’t remember so many new wordsB.he can’t pronounce the words correctlyC.he can’t master the grammar rules easilyD.he can’t understand the language fully27.What can we infer by reading the passage?A.An old dog will learn no new tricks.B.No one is so old that he may not learn.C.Nothing comes from nothing.D.Never offer to teach fish to swimCWhen the acupuncture needles were inserted into his body, Florian Don, the Oscar-winning director, struggled to keep smiling in front of his wife and three kids, who were holding breath and watching attentively.“It can hurt a little, but the pain does not stay; it takes afew seconds and then it goes away,”Don told Xinhua onFriday at an acupuncture clinic.Don has been coming to the Beijing ChineseMedical Center in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, every weekfor three months.This 44-year-old German director is best known forhis thriller Their Lives, which won the Best ForeignLanguage Film A ward at the 79th Oscars in 2007.Y ears of working hard in the movie industry causedDon neck pains, and it got serious in February when the doctor told him he needed surgery. Then a nurse suggested him trying Traditional Chinese Medicine and to see Dr. Wu at the Beijing Chinese Medical Center.As a recognized authority on Traditional Chinese Medicine with a degree in W estern medicine, Dr. Wu has been practicing in Santa Monica for 27 years.Don admitted that it was scary when he saw the acupuncture needles for the first time. “Acupuncture is a very pinpoint, careful and caring process. The doctor can not miss by a few millimeters,” he told Xinhua, “With Dr. Wu, you feel so much the deep wisdom, the experience, the knowledge. I feel it so much and I trust him.”His trust paid him back. Without any surgery, Don's problem was solved in one month. “I found thatW estern medicine can be very aggre ssive, and it has extreme side effects,” Don said. “But for Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, they do not have side effects; it is about activating (激活) the energy and oxygen flow in the body, and it is about helping the body heal itself.”28.Don felt _______ when he took the acupuncture needles.A.painlessB.scaredC.acceptableD.miserable29.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A.Dr. Wu is a recognized authority on W estern medicine.B.Don has been treated with acupuncture needles for three times.C.Dr. Wu has been practicing in Santa Monica, Los Angeles since 1990.D.Their Lives won the Best Film A ward at the 79th Oscars in 2007.30.The word underlined in the 7th paragraph can be replaced by _______.A.preciseB.helpfulC.practicalD.serious31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Chinese Acupuncture Needle Does Not Have Side Effects at AllB.Oscar-winning Director T akes a Fancy to Chinese AcupunctureC.Chinese Acupuncture Needle Does Good to Serious Neck PainsD.German Director Is Treated by an Authority on W estern MedicineDThe amount of conflicting advice there is on how to bring up happy and successful children can make your head spin. Parents often find themselves questioning how strict they should be with youngsters and how much independence they should allow them.Now a new book by psychologists says our approach is wrong – because we're training them to be computers, reports NPR.Instead of focusing on “success” at school, we should be teaching them how to be better at being social, navigate relationships and be good citizens in a community. That's according to two professors who have written Becoming Brilliant: What Science T ells Us About Raising Successful Children.“W e're training kids to do what computers do, which is to spit back facts,”Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, professor at T emple University in Philadelphia, told the website. “And computers are always going to be better than human beings at that.”This way of thinking challenges our definition of what success in school and out of school means,they say. Instead, we should focus on the “six Cs”of parenting, says Professor Hirsh-Pasek and her co-author Roberta Golinkoff from the University of Delaware. This is cooperation, communication, content, critical thinking (批判性思维), creative innovation and confidence – listed in order of importance.The first, cooperation, is basic but at the core of parenting. “cooperation is everything from getting along with others to controlling your impulses (冲动) so you can not kick someone else off the swing,”Professor Hirsh-Pasek explained. “Everything your child does, in the classroom or at home, has to be built on that foundation.”The authors give a practical example of encouraging critical thinking – you should make sure you do not shut them down when they ask a question. And you should encourage them to ask more. Y ou want them to understand how other people think.The book explains that there are four levels to each of the six C's, which allow parents to assesshow strong they are in each skill. They stress that social interaction between parents and children iswhat helps set up the child for the development of these skills. “What we do w ith little kids today will matter in 20 years.” says Hirsh-Pasek.32.According to psychologists’ new book, which should NOT be the approach to teaching children?A.Getting on well with other people.B.Being successful in social interaction.C.Being good citizens in a community.D.Being good only at academic performance.33.Which is the best example of “to spit back facts”?A.T o analyze reading materials independently.B.T o provide original answers from different angles.C.T o recite all the English words learned in class.D.T o work out creative solutions to a problem.34.According to the “six Cs” of parenting, cooperation _______.A.teaches a child to get on with othersB.means controlling parents’ impulsesC.means encouraging children to ask a questionD.is the least importance on teaching children35.The passage mainly introduces _______.A.what helps set up the child for the development of six skillsB.how to stop training children to “spit back facts” like computersC.how to bring up happy and successful children by giving adviceD.how to raise children according to science and focus on the six Cs第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AWow! A Simple to Use Computer Designed Especially for Seniors!“I love this computer! It is easy to read and to use! I get photo updates from my children and grandchildren all the time.” —Janet F.Have you ever said to yourself “I’d love to get a computer, if only I could figure out how to use it.” Well, you’re not alone. Computers were supposed to make our lives simpler, but they’ve gotten so complicated that they are not worth the trouble. With all of the “pointing and clicking” and “dragging and dropping” you’re lucky if you can figure out where you are. Plus, you are constantly worrying about viruses and freeze-ups.If this sounds familiar, we have great news for you. There is finally a computer that’s designed for simplicity and ease of use. This computer was designed with you in mind. It is easy-to-use, worry-free and literally puts the world at y our fingertips. From the moment you open the box, you’ll realize how differentthe computer is. The components are all connected; all you do is plug it into an outlet and your high-speed Internet connection.Then you’ll see the screen—it’s now 22 inches. This is a completely new touch screen system. The “buttons” on the screen are easy to see and understand. You can simply tap on the screen to do whatever people do with their mouse. It’s so easy to use that you w on’t have to ask your children or grandchild ren for help. Now, thanks to the computer, countless older Americans are discovering the wonderful world of the Internet every day. Isn’t it time you took part? Call now, and you’ll find out why tens of thousands of satisfied seniors are now enjoying their computers, emailing their grandchildren, and experiencing everything the Internet has to offer. Buy today and you will get a $200 discount!21. Who are the intended consumers?A. Children.B. The disabled.C. Teenagers.D. The elderly.22. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the computer?A. Its users should plug it in and connect it with the Internet.B. The computer can be operated by a 22-inch touch screen.C. It’s so hard to use that users are likely to ask others for help.D. Its users may send and get emails without much difficulty.23. Which is the purpose of the text?A. To introduce a new kind of computer.B. To promote a new kind of computer.C. To analyze the difficulties of computer users.D. To compare the differences of computers.BOne day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the rural areas with the purpose of showing him how poor people lived. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”“It was great, Dad.”“So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.The son answered: “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that re aches to themiddle of our garden and they have a stream that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.”“Our courtyard reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them.”The boy’s father was speechless. Then his son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.”Isn’t perspective a wonderful thing? It makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don’t have.24.Which of the following words can best describe the boy?A. Naughty and misbehaved.B. Honest and creative.C. Ambitious and doubtful.D. Worried and childish.25. Which of the following statement is WRONG?A. The father wanted to show the farmers were poor.B. The boy thought people on the farm lived a rich life.C. The father was very surprised at his son’s answer.D. The boy advised his father to live the farmers’ life.26. Why did the boy compare the farmers’ family and his?A. To show his family was rich.B. To prove the farmers’ was rich.C. To show off his cleverness.D. To make his father speechless.27. How is the passage developed?A. From statistics to comparison.B. From examples to conclusion.C. From a story to inspiration.D. From observation to action.CSomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the w ebsites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchase or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a husband or wife, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a policeman or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way that you never intended to be seen — the 21st century is equal to being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, and that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: does that matter?When an opinion survey asks Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A study found a strong pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the E-Pass system that can track traffic movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Green has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券).But privacy does matter –at least sometimes. It’s like health: When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.28.What do we know about living in the 21st century?A. Strangers will read people’s e-mail with permission.B. People can hardly keep their privacy or secrets.C. People might be caught naked during shopping.D. Criminals have found out people’s calling habits.29. What can be inferred about paragraph 3?A. People leave information after using phones and computers.B. People need to be completely open to friends at all times.C. Google wants to search and reveal what people think.D. There remains no boundary between friends in the world.30.What do most Americans do about privacy?A. They are concerned about losing it.B. They refuse discounts and coupons.C. They avoid using E-Pass system.D. They trade their privacy for money.31.What is the passage mainly about?A. People should preserve privacy by refusing discounts.B. People will lose their privacy no matter what they do.C. People are likely to lose privacy but should protect it.D. Business owners are to blame for people’s privacy leaks.DWe all know the feeling of waking up in the middle of the night with a pounding heart and sweaty palms. Relax, you say to yourself – it was just a bad dream. Well, it may be that you really should relax, because nightmares might actually be good for you.According to New York Magazine, bad dreams can improve your mental health. A bad dream tends to be based on a real-life concern, for example, an approaching test or a fear of a person. To eliminate these worries the brain turns the dream into a story in the form of a bad dream.A bad dream enables you to distance yourself from your anxieties, and turn something you’re worried about now into a memory. The result is that when you wake up you’re able to move forward and face the future.A study, featured in The Atlantic magazine, showed something similar. In a survey of more than 700 French students taking a medical school entrance exam, over 60 percent had negative dreams about the test the night before. These included not finishing on time, leaving a question blank, or being late. Those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn’t, suggesting that nightmares do in fact prepare us for the future.“We think nightmares are so common that they have some purpose to process stressors,” Anne Germain, director of the Sleep Center at the University of Pittsburgh, said.So, the next time you lie awake at night after a bad dream, remember that it may be the brain’s way of putting your fears behind you and readying you for the future. Although a nightmare may make you afraid in the short term, it might be helping you to move on from the bad stuff you might be facing in the real world. Perhaps we should try to accept our nightmares rather than allow them to keep us awake. After all, lack of sleep causes far more problems than dreams do.32. Which of the following best explains “eliminate” in Paragraph 2?A. strengthenB. removeC. satisfyD. reflect33. Why does the author mention the study in the 4th paragraph?A. To show most of the students will be stressed before an exam.B. To show nightmares help students perform better in an exam.C. To show medical school entrance exams will cause anxiety.D. To show those who have nightmares will do worse in an exam.34. According to the author, what should we do if we have a bad dream?A. We should keep ourselves awake.B. We should relax and go on sleeping.C. We should study bad dreams carefully.D. We should prevent it from happening.35. Where is this text most likely from?A. A diary.B. A guidebook.C. A novel.D. A magazine.（为了提升后续题目的答题体验，此处有意留白。

The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.“Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,”Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations —and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.第 2 页4.

The rapid development of third-party mobile payment tools is helping to boost cashless payments across the country, said Dong Ximiao, a researcher at the Renmin University of China.Transactions (交易) involving third-party mobile payments rose by 46.8 percent in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the previous quarter to 18.8 trillion yuan, according to a report released in May.Although there were 3.4 billion third-party payment accounts in total in China in 2019, China is not the first country to seek a cashless society. Developed states like Sweden, Denmark and Singapore are also witnessing t hat increase.However, the rapid development of cashless payments does not mean there are no challenges and criticisms. Alibaba’s Hema store, where customers can shop, dine and order commodities for delivery from their mobile phones via Alipay, have come into the spotlight recently. Media reports said that consumers can’t purchase goods with cash there, which would be considered illegal.Alipay and WeChat Pay, the nation’s two major third-party mobile payment tools, also launched campaigns this month to encourage more merchants and customers to use cashless payment methods, which caused concerns over whether cash will soon disappear.“Some offline sellers refuse to accept cash, which impacts the natural circulation of yuan,”said Dong. He emphasized that a cashless society would not mean that cash would completely disappear. As the economy grows, the circulation of cash is still very huge, noted Dong. Also, it’s important to remember that nearly half of China’s population live in rural areas, especially in undeveloped western regions, unable to enjoy innovation (革新) brought by the Internet, Dong said. And when it comes to China’s senior citizens, most of them prefer to use cash in their daily lives, he added.第 3 页“It’s ridiculous to question digital payment too ls’ contribution toward financial development. In the long term, various payment methods will be used by consumers, and merchants should respect consume rs’payment habits,” Dong noted.8. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. Economic activity.B. Cashless payment.C. Development of economy.D. Large amount of payment.9. Why has Alibaba’s Hema store become a focus?A. It fights against illegal activities.B. It provides comprehensive services.C. Customers are not permitted to use cash there.D. It starts campaigns to encourage mobile payment.10. Which of the following will Dong find reasonable?A. Various payment methods ought to be respected.B. People should be encouraged to use mobile payment.C. Most elderly people have no access to mobile payment.D. Mobile payment isn’t beneficial to a cost-effective society.11. What is the text mainly about?A. China’s cashless trend.B. The research on mobile payment.C. The reasons to use mobile payment.D. China’s cashless future.DLearning is so complex that there are many different psychological theories to explain how people learn. A psychologist named Albert Bandura suggested a social learning theory which shows that observation, imitation (模仿), and modeling play a primary role in this process.In Albert Bandura’s opinion, people can learn through observation. Observational learning doesn’t even necessarily require watching another person join in an activity. We can also learn by reading, hearing, or watching the actions of characters in books and films. However, just observing someone else’s actions isn’t always enough to lead to learning. Your own mental state also plays an important role in determining whether a behavior is learned or not. In addition, though in many cases, learning can be seen immediately when the new behavior is displayed, yet sometimes we can learn things even though that learning might not be immediately obvious, which means people can learn new information without showing new behaviors.Not all observed behaviors are effectively learned. Certain requirements need to be related to the observational learning process. For example, you need to be paying attention. Also your retention is an important part of observational learning as you need to pull up information later and act on it during the process. Once you’ve paid attention to the model and kept the information, it’s time to actually perform the behavior you observed. Further practice of the learned behavior leads to improvement. Finally, you have to be motivated to imitate the behavior that has been modeled.Social learning theory have many real-world applications. For example, researchers employ it to look into and understand ways that positive role models can be used to encourage desirable behaviors. Besides, it’s also applied in the field of education, and today, both teachers and parents recognize how important it is to model appropriate behaviors.12. What can we infer about observational learning from Paragraph 2?A. Its effects on a person tend to be very obvious.第 4 页B. Its effectiveness is determined by the mental state.C. Its most useful means should be careful watching.D. It doesn’t necessarily lead to a change in behavior.13. What does the underlined word “retention” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Curiosity.B. Creativity.C. Memory.D. Imagination.14. What should you do to make observational learning successful?A. Learn to be judgmental.B. Look for a motivator.C. Try to be imaginative.D. Focus on the process.15.
