Grandpa had sent me into the 51 to gather pecans for us to enjoy later.Pecan picking was really 52 work and my little basket was only half full.I wasn't about to 53 Grandpa down. Just then something caught my 54 . A large brown squirrel was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and 55 in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later the squirrel 56 out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.Not so 57 anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was 58 with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my 59 . Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so 60 of myself. I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. 61 , I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into t he basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many?” I told him how I'd 62 the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I'd been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that 63 me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently 64 my shoulders.“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter 65 of food,” he said. ‘Now that all of his pecans are gone, don't you think that little squirrel will 66 the cold winter?”“I didn't think about that,” I said.“I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take 67 of someone else's hard work.”Suddenly I felt a bit 68 . The image of the starving squirrel wouldn't 69 my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.I didn't eat any pecans that night, but I had something much more filling—the 70 of knowingI had done just the right thing.51.

For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. Forexample, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions, but we should not attempt to “read”people from another culture as we would “read”someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to conclude about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and 8 cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading”the other person incorrectly.74. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love.B. Politeness.C. Joy.D. Thankfulness.75. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ______ .A. show friendliness to strangersB. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong placesD. show personal habits76. What should we do before attempting to "read" people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Figure out what they will do next.77. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipC. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and EmotionsCWhen we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again.After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night.We found him just in time.This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.W hatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation.A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “lost” situation. A rainstorm or sudden blizzard may catch him 9 without a compass(指南针) in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.When this happens, the normal first reaction(反应) is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.78.According to the text, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, he would .A. worry about being laughed atB. push himself to find his way outC. feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friendsD. feel sorry that he didn’t study hard enough79.What is the most important when a person tries to find his way in the woods?A. intelligenceB. observationC. directionD. chance80.The writer tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who .A. go into the woods by themselvesB. don’t know how to signal for help properlyC. are frightened when they think they are lostD. keep their head when they are in troubleDIt had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.“Jack, did you hear me?”“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.Well, he didn’t forget you.Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce(回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,” Mom told him.“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important… Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,” Jack said.Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture… Jack stopped suddenly.“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom aske d.“The box is gone,” he said.“What box?” Mom asked.“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box, He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.“Now, I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.“Mr. Harold Belser” it read.Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside.“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.Inside he found these words carved: “Jack, Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.”“Oh, My God! This is the thing he valued most…”Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked.“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.81. Why did Jack think Mr. Belser died years ago?A. College and career prevented him from remembering Mr. Bleser.B. Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belser.C. Jack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr. Belser.D. His present busy life washed away his childhood memories.82.

Mr. Belser had asked for Jack’s mailing addressD. Mr. Belser had pleasant memories of their time together83. Why did Belser send Jack his gold watch?A. Because he was grateful for Jack’s time with him.B. Because he had no children or relatives.C. Because he thought he had to keep his word.D. Because Jack had always wanted it during his childhood.84. Why did Jack say he needed some time to spend with his son?A. He was very tired of his work and wanted to have a good rest.B. He came to realize the importance of the time with his family.C. He had missed his son and his family for days.D. He had promised to spare more time to stay with his son.85. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?A. The Good Old TimesB.

2020-2021学年镇江一中高三英语一模试卷及参考答案

2020-2021学年镇江一中高三英语一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A“Why do I feel cold when I have a fever?” “Why does the sun rise in the east?” I knew the day would come when my little girl Sophie would learn to talk and inevitably (不可避免地) start askingthose questions. The questions themselves weren’t worrying me. I was actually looking forward to seeing where her curiosity would lie.What was bothering (烦恼) me was whether or not I would know the answers. In the age of the smartphone, this may seem like a silly worry. The answers to almost everything would be just one Google away.Still, I struggled with how I was going to prepare to become an all-knowing mother. Then one day, it struck me: I didn’t need to have all the answers. What a great example I could set if I let my daughter know that I, too, was still learning. And I realized how much more I could learn if I took another look at things I thought I already knew the answer to with the curiosity of a child. My little girl’s mind is a beginner’s mind--- curious, open to new ideas, eager to learn, and not based on knowledge that already exists. I decided that I would deal with her questions with a beginner’s mind, too.Once I decided to become more curious, I started noticing that curiosity was becoming more important in the workplace, too. It seems that leaders don't need to have all the answers, but they do need to be curious.Curious about curiosity, I searched for answers and found Albert Einstein’s famous words, “I have no special talent. I am only passionately (热情地) curious.” We mightquibble overthe view that Einstein had no special talent, but there is one thing for certain---he wouldn't have solved the puzzles of the universe without his passionate curiosity. Then I came across another Einstein quote, “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason or existence.”1. The advantage of having a beginner’s mind is that ________.A. people can learn much faster.B. people won't be afraid to make mistakes.C. people are willing to receive new things.D. people won't be expected to answer all questions.2. What does the example of Einstein’s words show?A. Einstein was passionate about curiosity.B. Einstein’s quotes are very famous.C. Curiosity is of great significance.D. Curiosity is more necessary than talent.3. What does the underlined phrase “quibble over” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Fight against.B. Argue about.C. Work out.D. Agree withBLast summer, Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to a flat building in Chicago. Maria really liked some things about the city, but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.One day, Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor, Mrs. Garcia, carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil. Maria wondered how Mrs. Garcia was able to garden in the city.“My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don’t have a yard,” said Maria.Mrs. Garcia laughed. “I’ll show you,” she said.Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia would take her to the park, but she took her to the roof. When the door opened, Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.“What a wonderful garden!” said Maria.Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.“I plant flowers in my own place,” Mrs. Garcia said, “but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up here. Some people grow vegetables just like your mom. You can do some of the same things in the city as in the countryside. You just have to be creative!”4. Where did Mrs. Garcia take Maria to one day?A. The park.B. The roof.C. The garden in front of her house.D. The countryside.5. Which of the following is NOT the good side of the community garden?A. It made the building stronger.B. It helped keep the air clean.C. It helped keep the building cooler.D. It used the empty space well.6. After Maria visited the garden, she would most probably ask her mom to ________.A. go back to the countrysideB. pick flowers from the gardenC show her around the park D. grow vegetables on the roof7. What is the best title for this passage?A. A Creative LadyB. An Empty RoofC. A Rooftop GardenD. A Special BuildingCChildren's average daily time spent watching television or using mobile device increased from 53 minutes at age 12 months to more than 150 minutes at 3 years, according toan analysis by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). By age 8, children were more likely to log the highest amount of screen time if they had been in home-based children or were born to first-time mothers.“Our results indicate that screen habits begin early, ”said Edwina Yeung, an investigator in National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).“This finding suggests that interventions(干涉) to reduce screen time could have a better chance of success if introduced early.”In the research, mothers of 4, 000 children responded to questions on their kids' media habits when they were 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months of age.TheAmericanAcademyof Pediatrics recommends avoiding digital media exposure for children under 18 months of age, introducing children 18 to 24 months of age to screen media slowly, and limiting screen time to an hour a day for children from 2 to 5 years of age. In the current study, researchers found that 87% of the children had screen time exceeding (超过) these recommendations. However, while screen time increased throughout toddlerhood, by age 7 and 8, screen time fell to under 1.5 hours per day. The researchers believe this decrease relates to time consumed by school-related activities.The study authors classified the children into two groups based on how much their average daily screen time increased from age 1 to age 3. The first group, 73% of the total had the lowest increase, from an average of nearly 51 minutes a day to nearly an hour and 47 minutes a day. The second group, 27% of the total, had the highest increase, from nearly 37 minutes of screen time a day to about 4 hours a day. Higher levels of parental education were associated with lower odds of inclusion in the second group.8. Who use mobile device longest according to the NIH's analysis?A. 10-year-old born to first-time mothers.B. 3-year-old children in low income families.C. 8-year-old children in home-based childcare.D. 1-year-old children with parents poorly educated.9. What does the research suggest according to Edwina?A. Parents should stop their children using media.B. Parents should limit the use of digital media themselves.C. Parents should reduce their children's screen time earlier.D. Parents should avoid their children using digital media at infancy (婴儿期).10. Why does children's screen time fall when they age 7 and 8?A. They are studying at school.B. They can control themselves.C. They are tired of using them.D. They are forbidden to use them.11. Which of the following may be the best title?A. Keep Away from MediaB. Screen Habits Begin EarlyC. Urgency of Parental EducationD. Harm of Home-based ChildcareDThe idea of growing food in a desert would make most people laugh but this is quickly becoming a reality. There are currently two desert farms in the world where quality vegetables are being planted cheaply and easily.Sundrop Farms, based in South Australia, uses experimental greenhouses to grow tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. The biggest challenge of growing food in a desert, obviously, is the lack of available water. The researchers at Sundrop Farms have gotten aroundthis problemby using the sun to desalinate (淡化) sea water. It can also be used to control the temperature of the greenhouses.Without depending on limited resources such as land and fresh water Sundrop Farms has made farming a practice. This can increase the world’s food supplies. Another benefit ofthis kind of farming is that it can be done anywhere, thus reducing the costs of transporting food to distant locations. Yet another benefit is that it reduces the need for pesticides (杀虫剂).Another experimental desert farm is the Sahara Forest Project, which began in Qatar in December 2012. Greenhouses in the farm are cooled by saltwater. Solar power and other technologies are used together to help make vegetation (植被) grow in the desert environment. As deserts have expanded over recent years around the world due to global warming, this project could solve the problem.The result form the Qatar project were better than expected and in June of 2014, Jordan agreed to host another one. This will be much bigger than the Qatar project and the project members will have even moreopportunities to test their experiments on a much larger scale. It is not clear yet that desert farming resents the future of farming but these projects have shown some success in the field.12. What does “this problem” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Sea water is bard to purify.B. The desert is short of water.C. The temperature is high in the desert.D. Desert farms aren’t fit to plant vegetables.13. What is one of the characters of desert farming?A. It needs more pesticides.B. It saves delivery costs.C. It has a location limit.D. It solves food waste problems14. What can we know about the Sabara Forest Project?A. It lives up to expectationsB. It can help produce more foodC. It is started to prevent global warmingD. It uses technology to produce saltwater15. What can be inferred about desert farming from the last paragraph?A. It still has problems to solve.B. It represents the future of farming.C. Its early success has aroused interest in it.D. Its aim is to create more job opportunities.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。

It can open up new worlds, broaden horizons, and inspire us to dream big. In the fast-paced world we live in, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, forgetting the joy of sitting down with a good book. However, the benefits of reading are numerous and should not be overlooked.One of the most significant benefits of reading is the expansion of vocabulary. As we read, we encounter new words and phrases, which not only enrich our language but also help us understand the complexities of the English language. Additionally, reading improves our comprehension skills, allowing us to better understand written materials in school and in our daily lives.Furthermore, reading can be a great source of entertainment. It provides us with an escape from the monotony of daily life and takes us to places we may never physically visit. Books offer us a window into different cultures, histories, and perspectives,broadening our understanding of the world.Moreover, reading is a powerful tool for self-improvement. It can inspire us to become better versions of ourselves, motivating us to pursue our goals and dreams. Thecharacters and stories in books often serve as role models, teaching us valuable life lessons.Lastly, reading is a skill that can be enjoyed throughout life. It’s a hobby that can be shared with friends and family, creating lasting bonds and memories. As we grow older, our reading preferences may change, but the joy of reading remains the same.1.What is the main idea of the passage? (4 points)•Answer: The passage discusses the power and benefits of reading.2.Which benefit of reading is not mentioned in the passage? (4 points)•Answer: Improving mathematical skills. (The passage does not mention improving mathematical skills as a benefit of reading.)3.What does the passage say about reading and vocabulary expansion? (4 points)•Answer: Reading expands our vocabulary by introducing us to new words and phrases.4.According to the passage, why is reading a great source of entertainment? (4points)•Answer: Reading provides an escape from daily monotony and takes us to new places and cultures.5.What role do the characters and stories in books play, according to the passage? (4points)•Answer: The characters and stories in books serve as role models, teaching us valuable life lessons.五、作文(30分)Title: The Importance of Reading in English LearningDirections: Write a composition of no less than 100 words on the topic “TheImportance of Reading in English Learning.” You are required to include your personal experience or views on the subject.In the pursuit of excellence in English learning, the role of reading cannot be overstated. Reading is not merely a means to enhance vocabulary and grammar skills; it is a gateway to understanding different cultures and perspectives.My own experience with reading has been enriching. I recall the first time I delved into a novel in English, the sense of wonder and discovery that came with every new word or phrase. Over time, reading became a habit, and I found myself not only improving my language proficiency but also broadening my horizons.Reading in English has allowed me to access a vast array of knowledge and ideas that were previously inaccessible. It has fostered a deeper understanding of global issues and opened my mind to diverse ways of thinking. Moreover, the joy of discovering new stories and characters in a foreign language is indescribable.In conclusion, the importance of reading in English learning lies not only in its contribution to linguistic proficiency but also in its ability to shape our worldview and enrich our lives. I strongly encourage all learners to make reading a regular part of their English learning journey.。
江苏省镇江第一中学高考英语高中英语阅读理解专题复习(专题训练)

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解It was the beginning of 2011. I had just finished filming the first season of Game of Thrones(《权利的游戏》). With almost no professional experience, I had been given the role of Daenerys Targaryen. The show was so successful that young girls would dress themselves up as Daenerys for Halloween.And yet, terrified of the attention, terrified of trying to make good on the faith that the creators had put in me, I worked much harder.On the morning of February 11, 2011, I was getting dressed in a gym when I started to feel a bad headache. I was so exhausted that I could barely put on my sneakers. I tried to ignore the pain, but I couldn't. I reached the toilet and sank to my knees. A woman came to help me. Then everything became unclear. I only remember the sound of an ambulance.That operation lasted three hours. When I woke, the pain was unbearable. After four days, they moved me out of the I.C.U. (重症监护室). But one day when a nurse asked me, as part of a series of cognitive (认知的) exercises, " What's your name?", I couldn't remember my name and I felt terrified: I am an actor; I need to remember my lines. Now, I couldn't recall my name.The phenomenon is called aphasia. Then I was sent back to the I.C.U. and, after about a week, I was able to speak and know my name. And I was also aware that there were people in the beds around me who didn't make it out of the I.C.U. I was continually reminded of just how fortunate I was.I rarely gave a thought to my health. Nearly all I thought about was acting. I thought of myself as healthy. Once in a while, I would get dizzy. When I was fourteen, I had a migraine (偏头痛) that kept me in bed for a couple of days. But it all seemed manageable — part of the stress of being an actor. Now I think I might have been experiencing warning signs of what was to come.Anyway, there is something pleasant about coming to the end of Thrones. And I'm so happy to be here to see the beginning of whatever comes next.(1)The author felt terrified after acting in the first season of Game of Thrones because _____.①she felt nervous about the public attention.②she had been criticized for her lack of experience.③she was experiencing some warning signs of a serious illness.④she wasn't sure if she had perform ed well in Season 1.A. ①④B. ②③C. ①②D. ③④(2)When did the author lose consciousness?A. After she took an operation.B. After a woman came to her rescue in a gym.C. When trying to ignore a headache while working out.D. When knowing many patients wouldn't survive the illness.(3)A patient who is suffering from aphasia ______.A. cannot move his or her bodyB. will fall into serious depressionC. must undergo brain surgery at onceD. is not able to remember things from the past (4)What can you infer from the end of the passage?A. The author feels very lucky to be an actress.B. The author is quite confident about her role.C. The author can't go on acting due to the illness.D. The author will pay more attention to her health.【答案】(1)A(2)B(3)D(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者讲述了自己在作为一名演员对待工作非常认真努力却忽视了自己的身体健康,直到有一天她晕倒并进了重症病房接受治疗,她才意识到要重视身体健康。

The highest peak of Ali Mountain is Tower Hill with the height of 2,663 meters (about 8,736 feet). Ali Mountain is world famous for its “five rare sites” including the Sunris e, the Ali Mountain Forest Railway, the famous Alishan Sacred Tree, the Grand Sea of Clouds, and the Flamboyant Cherry Blossom. It is said that one who has not been to Ali Mountain will never know its wonderful beauty.The sunrise is a must for everyone who travels the Ali M ountain. Many have said, “To m iss viewing the sunrise on Ali Mountain is like returning empty after entering the Golconda, a source of great wealth.” The best place to view t he sunrise is on the top of Zhu Hill. The place and time of the sunrise are different due to the changes of the four seasons. If you plan to view the sunrise, it is best to ask the local people the time of sunrise, so you don’t mis s this magnificent opportunity.The Ali Mountain Forest Railway is regarded as one of three mountain climbing railways. Traveling along the 72-kilometer-long railway, the train climbs from 30 meters (about 98 feet) to 2,450 meters (about 8,038 feet) above sea level. Its gradient(坡度)is so great that it is rarely seen in the whole world. From the bottom of Ali Mountain to the top, the train crosses four forest areas—tropical, subtropical, temperate and frigid zones.There is a Chinese juniper (杜松) within the Ali Mountain forest area, with some 53 meters (about 174 feet) high, and 23 meters (about 75 feet) wide. This juniper is so huge that more than ten people can surround it. It has a history of more than 3,000 years, thus is called Alishan Sacred Tree. The most wondrous tr ee is a “three-generation” tree. T he three generations of this tree exist in the same trunk. While the first and second generations have faded, the third generation is still flourishing. This tree is really a wonder of nature.The sea of clouds and the cherry blossom should not be overlooked. If you want to avoid sunstroke, the comfortable climate in mid-summer on Ali Mountain will be a good choice.16. What’s th e main idea of the first paragraph?A. Location of Ali Mountain.B. Five rare sites of Ali Mountain.C. Hills of Ali Mountain.D. An introduction to Ali Mountain.17. What does th e underlined word “flourishing” in th e fourth paragraph mean?A. Growing well.B. Surrounding.C. Disappearing.D. Dying.18. What’s the best time to appreciate the sea of clouds and the cherry blossom?A. April.B. February.C. August.D. December.19. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The place and time of the sunrise are the same despite the changes of the four seasons.B. The best place to view the sunrise is on the top of Tower Hill.C. The highest peak of Ali Mountain is Tower Hill with the height of 2,450 meters.D. The juniper has a history of more than 3,000 years, thus it is called Alishan Sacred Tree.BMobile phone users will be able to charge their devices wirelessly for the first time from 2019.Fujitsu, the Japanese technology company, has created a system capable of charging quite a few portable electronic devices in the meanwhile, such as mobile phones, digital cameras and laptop computers without the need for cable connections. Electric cars users may also eventually be able to charge their vehicles wirelessly using the same technology according to Fujitsu, which presented a system at an Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers Conference at Osaka Prefecture University.C laiming to be the world’s firs t of its kind, the technology works on the basis of the transmissionof electricity using magnetic fields between the charger and the electronic device. The system enables wireless charging at distances of up to several metres, with the final aim of installing pu blic “charging spots” on th e streets in order to enable easy charging around the clock.Scientists at Fujitsu Laboratories are planning to commercially sell products including the new wireless charging system as early as 2019 but did not make it clear how much they would cost. “This technology makes it possible to add compact wireless charging functions into mobile phones and enabling several portable devices to be charged at the same time without any restrictions(限制)on their position in association with the charger,” the company said in a statement.The growing popularity of portable electronic devices ranging from iPads to e-readers is expected to fuel a boom in wireless recharging technology developments over the coming decade.Mobile phone users in Japan can currently fill up their batteries using disposable(一次性的)portable plug-in battery-operated devices -- available at most train stations and convenience stores -- although phone companies warn any use for too long can damage the phones.The new system displayed by Fujitsu, however, is significantly advanced and represents the next generation of portable recharging systems using highly tuned wireless technology. The company added, “We are also lo oking at applying the results of this work to fields other than portable electronics, including power transmission between circuit boards or computer chips, and providing mobile charging sy stems for electric cars.”20.

I accepted a position in a company. John, an acquaintance of mine, told me much about the job and took my curriculum vitae (简历) to his supervisor. I did not refer to him as a friend because at the time we did not take part in activities together outside of work, nor did our wives.The first week was fine. Nothing was obviously strange with John at first until the second week, when our communication began to get a little strange. John began making comments lik e “you would have had to pay an employment agency several hundred dollars for a job like this”. I soon forgot his words till the next day when he made another similar comment. Right then I started to really pay attention to what he meant. He acted as if I owed him money for helping me to get the job.He began to get short with me and I had only been there for two weeks. He was supposed to train me in building our e-mail servers and setting up the entire standard monitor software. Instead, he went through the process so fast that even an experienced worker could hardly keep up. He would not slow down or check whether I was with him or not. If there was something wrong with a server, he would just buzz through the solution and not stop to s ay anything like “you might want to remember this.” Ibegan to get very frustrated.By the third week I began to get tired of his condescension (傲慢). So I began to challenge him in a way that was only one to one. He would respond to a question of mine with a question or just make me repeat it, and then interrupt me. I began to hate him. Later I tried to avoid him as much as I could, so I wouldn’t run into him.He stopped me one day and asked me what had happened. I told him he was very condescending in his ton e and manner. He asked me, “What can I do so that you will not feel like this way in the future?”I simply asked him to treat me with the same respect he would like to be treated with. He did it and we got along better gradually. I believed there was hope and eventually we would become friends and now we are.23. Wh y didn’t the author refer to John as a friend at first?A.

He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose.His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner’s name, Miss Holli s Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like.When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting -- 7:00 PM at the Grand Central Stat ion in New York. “You’ll r ecognize me,” she wrote, “by the red rose I’ll be wearing on my lapel.” So a t 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose fac e he’d never seen.I’ll let Mr. Blan chard tell you what happened: A young woman was coming toward me, her figurelong and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, att ractive smile curved her lips. “Going my way, sailor?” she murmured.Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own.And there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her.This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointm ent. “I'm Lieutenant(中尉)John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?”The woman's face broadened int o a tolerant smile. “I don't know what this is about, son,” she answered, “but the young lady in the gr een suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She sai d it was some kind of test!”It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the un attractive. “Tell me whom you love,” Houssaye wrote, “And I will t ell you who you are.”27.
