2020-2021学年江苏扬州高一上英语月考试卷
2020-2021学年江苏扬州高一上英语月考试卷一、阅读理解1.After my father died at the age of 83, many of his friends told me how much him—how generous he was, how outgoing, how funny, how caring. I was surprised at these descriptions. During my teenage years, there was little said to me that was not criticism. I remember him as angry. But now, ten years after his death, I recall events that seem to contradict my memory of him.When I was 16, he handed down to me the family's 1957 Chevy（雪佛兰）. Neither one of us knew at the time that it was the coolest car anyone my age could have. When I was in the third grade, he proudly accompanied me to the school tumbling contest, where I won first prize. One day, while I was in single digits, he suggested we play catch in the front yard. This offer to spend time together was so unexpected that I didn't quite understand what I was supposed to do.When I graduated from high school, my father offered to buy me a tuxedo（男士无尾晚礼服）. I refused because my father always shunned gifts. I felt with my refusal, that somehow in a strange logic, I was being a good son. I wish now that I could have let him buy me a tuxedo, let him be a dad.My father sold real estate（地产）but he wanted to be in show business. I was probably five years old when I saw him in a bit part at the Call Board theater on Melrose Place in Hollywood. He came on in the second act and served a drink. The theater existed until a few years ago and is now finally defunct and, I believe, a lamp shop.My father's attitude toward my show, "Business Accomplishments", was critical. After my first appearance on Saturday Night Live in 1976, he wrote a bad review of me in the newsletter of the Newport Board of Realtors where he was president.（1）During his teenage years, the author thought his father was ______.A.generousB.outgoingC.angryD.caring（2）The underlined part "This offer" in the second paragraph refers to "______".A.attending to school tumbling contest togetherB.driving a car togetherC.playing a game togetherD.buying a car for the writer（3）Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word "shunned"?A.avoidedB.boughtC.shoneD.loved（4）What did the father think of the author's acting on Saturday Night Live?A.He liked it very much.B.He didn't like it.C.He didn't watch it.D.He didn't care.2.（1）The passage is most likely to be taken from ______.A.the InternetB.a magazineC.a newspaperD.a book（2）The purpose of this article is to ______.A.introduce some effective weight loss productsB.help overweight people find useful informationC.tell overweight people how to have a healthy dietD.introduce books about losing weight（3）Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Free Weight Loss Articles enjoys the greatest popularity on the site.B.Monthly Spotlight tells you how many calories a certain food contains.C.In Ultimate Weight Loss Secrets, we can ask and answer questions on how to lose weight.D.We can find ranked weight loss products to choose from.3.Are you an introvert（内向的人）or an extrovert? Before you say you are either one, you should know that there is a third option.According to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, experts say there's a middle ground between the two personality types—people who they call "ambiverts（中间性格者）".Introverts don't like crowds and enjoy keeping their thoughts to themselves, while extroverts, on the other hand, like meeting new people and being the center of attention. Ambiverts, as the name suggests, have both introverted and extroverted characteristics. But neither set of characteristics is completely in control.As a result, they can move between being social and being alone with greater ease than either extroverts or introverts. For example, ambiverts often enjoy other people's company. But after a long day of hard work, they sometimes prefer to read a book or watch a TV series at home alone."It is like they're bilingual," Daniel Pink, the host of Crowd Control, a US TV series on human behavior, told The Wall Street Journal. "They have a wider range of skills and can connect with a wider range of people in the same way someone who speaks English and Spanish can."Ambiverts have gotten more attention in recent years, thanks to books, TED talks and consulting（咨询的）firms focusing on how personality traits（特征）change people's behavior in relationships and careers. In fact, roughly two-thirds of people in the US are ambiverts, according to a personality survey done by Adam M. Grant, a professor ofpsychology at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.Grant believes ambiversion takes good parts from introversion and extroversion. "The ambivert advantage comes from being enthusiastic enough to persuade, but at the same time, listening carefully to others and avoiding seeming overly confident or excited," he told Forbes magazine.But he also points out that unlike extroverts and introverts who tend to know what gives them energy, ambiverts can sometimes get stuck. They are often unsure which side of their personality should lead in a given situation.（1）What is the article mainly about?A.Differences between introverts and extroverts.B.Why ambiverts have gotten more attention recently.C.Characteristics and advantages of ambiverts.D.How personality traits change people's behavior.（2）According to the article, ambiverts ______.A.prefer being the center of attention to being aloneB.tend to connect with more people than introvertsually work hard and are successful in their careersD.want to keep their thoughts to themselves all the time（3）What advantage does Grant think ambiverts have over introverts and extroverts?A.They know what gives them energy.B.They seem more enthusiastic and confident.C.They have more balanced personalities.D.They can deal with a given situation better.（4）The underlined word "bilingual" in Paragraph 5 probably means ______.A.able to speak two languages equally wellB.always ready to help those in needC.able to adapt to a new environment wellD.good at drawing attention from the crowd4."My dear lady," says Holmes. "You're shivering. Are you old? Do you want a cup of hot tea?" "I'm not cold," the woman replies, "I fear for my life!""We are here to help you. Don't worry about anything. I don't know you. But I knowmany things about you. For example, I know how you travel. You came to London by train. You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon（马车）.""Why, yes. You're right. But how do you know these things?""I see a return ticket in your glove. I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress. Now tell us your problem.""My name is Helen Stoner," she states, "My mother and father are dead. I am living withmy stepfather, Dr. Grimesby Roylott. He comes from a rich family. But they are no longer rich. They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house. We are living in the house. Dr. Roylott is using my mother's money for expenses（开支）. Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages."Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listening carefully to Helen's story.He hears every detail.Helen continues, "My stepfather has no friends. He fights with everyone. He is strong and gets angry quickly. Everyone is afraid of him.""He has no friends at all?" asks Holmes."No. He talks to no one except the gypsies（吉普赛人）. They are poor people who travel from place to place. A band of gypsies is staying on our land right now.""Are you and your sister afraid of the gypsies?""My dear Mr. Holmes. You are making me so sad. My sister is dead. That is why I am standing here in this room."（1）Paragraph 6 beginning with "My name is..." is mostly about ________.A.Helen's dead sisterB.Helen's trip to LondonC.the house Helen lives inD.Helen's stepfather and the family（2）What is Holmes doing while Helen is telling her story?A.Walking slowly.B.Listening carefully.C.Standing sadly.D.Writing quickly.（3）Which of the following can best describe the gypsies according to the passage?A.They are very rich.B.They are afraid of other people.C.They live on a horse-drawn wagon.D.They move from one place to another.（4）The passage is probably from ________.A.a novelB.a guideC.a poemD.an advertisement二、七选五5. 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。

ARecently, Finland has been called the happiest country in the world. Its people are relaxed and cheerful, enjoying life in an advanced society.

If you stay with Hanna, an IT professional, you will travel to her grandmother's lakeside home outside Helsinki, where you will pick blueberries and it's traditional food. Linda and Niko live on Uto, an island with a population of around 40. They'll take you sailing, show you the lighthouse, and camp out with you on the island.Application: Now is the time to apply by filling out an online application form and filming a 3-minute video describing yourself, your connection to nature, and why you want to visit Finland.

Linda and NikoBWhen I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn't the first time that I had been abroad. Like most British children, I learned French at school and I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn't understand English. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Mary a ring and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me." Yes," I said." I want to give my friend a ring."" Well, that's nice," he said." Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit young?"" Who is talking about marriage?" I replied." I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived. Can you tell me where there's a phone box?"" Oh!" he said." There is a phone downstairs."When at last we did meet up, Mary explained the misunderstanding to me." Don't worry," she said to me." I had many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from usBritish. You'll soon get used to all the funny things they say. But most of the time British and American people can understand each other!"4. Where was white from?A. He was from America.B. He was from France.C. He was from Britain.D. He was from China.5. The writer thought in America.A. he wouldn't have any language difficulties.B. he would not understand Americans.C. the Americans might not understand him.D. he would have difficulties at the airport.6. The writer wantedA. to buy a ring for his friendB. to make a call to his friendC. to go to the telephone companyD. his found to see him off7. From the passage we can see that" give somebody a ring"A. means the same in America as in BritainB. means "call somebody" to the old manC. means "be going to get married"D. has different meanings in America and in BritainCMany of us don't pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like having not enough food, genes and aging(老化). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises which can protect your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us to keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person's eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.8. is the most important way to protect our eyes.A. Nature eye careB. Taking medicineC. Seeing the doctorD. Being happy all the time9. All the following courses can lead to bad eyesight exceptA.agingB. heightC.readingD. computers10. What should you do if you have to work in front of the computer?A. Eat healthy food.B. Clean the eyes by using cold water.C. While a pile of sunglasses.D. Have a rest after working for a while.11. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Ways of Eye CareB. Ways of Eye ExercisesC. Ways of Being HappyD. Ways of Being HealthyDIf you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of sentences, the meaning of unfamiliar words etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare a notebook for yourself so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skilful at your reading, and then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or, if you are goodat listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow this pieces of advice you are speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort, they will become perfect.12. According to the author, which should you improve first amount the four skills.A. Reading and listening.B. Reading and writing.C. Writing and speaking.D. Speaking and listening.13. To improve your reading, when you read you should .A. look up all new words in the dictionary.B. spend more time studying grammar.C.think about what you are reading actively.D. copy as many words and sentences as possible.14. The author seems to agree with the view that .A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day.B. you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every day.C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening.D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing.15. The passage is mainly about how toA. choose suitable listening materials.B. deal with new words in reading.C. improve your English as quickly as possible.D. become good at English reading and listening.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。

Over the years, Brian Wansink, director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University, has studied such things as how far Americans typically drive to buy food, how many times we refill our plates at all-you-can-eat buffets and how we organize our kitchens. In the mid-2000s he famously coined the phrase “mindless eating”(and wrote a book by that name) to focus attention on all the bad dietary decisions we make without really thinking about them.His new book, Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life, aims to change the design of restaurants, school lunchrooms, office cafeterias and homes so that the mindless choices we make will be more healthful ones. Some examples:Keep kitchen counters clear. No visible snack food, no bread, no nuts —not even breakfast cereal. In Wansink’s research, “women who had even one box of breakfast cereal that was visible — anywhere in their kitchen —weighed 21 pounds more than their neighbor who didn’t.”Trick yourself into drinking less wine. “We tend to fo cus on the height of what we pour and not the width, so we pour 12 percent less wine into taller wineglasses than we pour into wider wineglasses.” And the shape of the glass is not the only variable that affects how much we drink. Wansink writes: “Because red wine is easier to see than white wine, we pour 9 percent less red wine whenever we pour a glass.”Wansink said his researchers also found that people ate less at restaurants when sat in well-lighted areas near windows and doors, than in darker areas or in the back. They ate less if they were offered a doggie bag, or to-go box, before they got their meals: apparently the idea of getting a “free” second meal outweighed the impulse (冲动) to clean their plates. Workers who frequently ate at their desks weighed 15.4 pounds less, on average, than those who didn’t. Fruits and vegetables kept on the top shelf of the refrigerator were eaten at higher rates than those on lower shelves.The point, Wansink says, is to consider findings like those and change your envi ronment or habits. Then you won’t have to think about it: You’ll just eat less.（1）Why did Brian Wansink write Slim by Design: Mindless eating Solutions for Everyday Life?A.Because he wanted people to become thin.B.Because he wished to change the design of dining places.C.Because he hoped to coin a new phrase “mindless eating”.D.Because he intended to help people make more healthful dietary decision.（2）According to Wansink, which of the following affects the amount of wine we drink ____.A.the shape of wineglassesB.the color1 of wineglassesC.the taste of wineD.the quality of wine（3）The underlined phrase a “doggie bag” in paragraph 5 probably means ____.A.a bag for carrying dogsB.a box for takeaway foodC.a container for leftoversD.a bag for carrying dog food（4）What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Changing environment or habits of eating will help you eat less.B.Eating fruits and vegetables is better for your health.C.Keeping your kitchen counter clear of any food will help make you thin.D.Many people eat or drink too much without paying attention to it.3.You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It's the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart's music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.The phrase "the Mozart effect" was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, we'll become more intelligent.The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart's music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.I'll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn't make us more intelligent.（1）What can we learn from paragraph 1?A.Mozart composed（作曲）many musical pieces for children.B.Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.C.There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect.D.There are few products on the Internet about Mozart's music.（2）The underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggests that ________.A.people were strongly against the ideaB.Mozart played an important part in people's lifeC.the idea was accepted by many peopleD.the US government helped promote the idea（3）What is the author's attitude towards the Mozart effect?A.Favorable.B.Objective（客观的）.C.Positive.D.Doubtful.（4）What would be the best title for the passage?A.To be or not to be?B.What music is beneficial?C.What is the Mozart effect?D.Listening to Mozart, necessary?4. On a trip to India in 2012, Anirudh Sharma took a photo of a diesel generator （柴油发电机） blowing black soot （烟灰） against a white wall． That dark stain made Sharma, who was then a student in Media Lab of Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT）, think seriously about pollution and also about coloring matters, like ink．The black ink we use in our pens or inkjet printers is basically made from soot． The technical term for the substance is "carbon black", and it is the powder that remains after burning coal or oil． The powder is mixed with other chemicals to turn it into smooth, flowing black ink．"So, if you can do it with soot, can we do the same with air pollution? " Sharma explains． "The black ink in the pen you use is made by burning fossil fuels． But you shouldn't need to burn new fossil fuels just to makeink． Fossil fuels are already being burned．" If he could find a way, he thought, to catch the soot that produced that stain on the wall in his photograph, he could not only reduce the amount of pollution released into the air, but also turn it into something new, or perhaps something beautiful．In 2014, following the completion of his Master's degree at MIT, Sharma returned to India to focus fully on developing what would become a product called AIR﹣INK, the first commercial ink made entirely from air pollution． He and his team built a lab in a small garage in Bangalore to create a device that could catch air pollution at the source, in engines or factory machines．They first developed a filtering （过滤） device called Kaalink made up of a steel container that could be connected to an exhaust pipe． Now, Kaalink can filter air pollution from almost any source, and turn it into soot, which is then processed to form ink that can be used in AIR﹣INK pens and markers． Each marker holds about 30 milliliters of AIR﹣INK, which is equal to approximately 45 minutes of diesel car pollution．The inventor would like AIR﹣INK to have practical applications, like in inkjet printers in offices, newsprint, or textbooks． "We've set up industries for our comfort, but the environment has to bear the price of it, " Sharmaexplains, adding that AIR﹣INK isn't a complete solution to the world's pollution problem． "It's a start, and it can inspire several others to start looking at new forms of waste that are lying outside, unused．"（1）What inspired Sharma to make ink out of air pollution？________A.

For our ancestors, being happy was not a priority(优先考虑的事情). While the concept of happiness has been around for thousands of years, for much of that time, humans were simply struggling to survive.（2）Today, though, most of us regard happiness as something we have a right to, and therefore something to be actively pursued(追求). The increasing interest in the topic is being given extra weight by the realization that material wealth alone is not making us happier. In 1974, the US economist Richard Easterlin carried out some research on happiness. （3）Then economists and social scientists got to work trying to find out what---if not material wealth---makes us happy. There is no final answer, but Richard Layard, a professor at the London School of Economics, suggests that our relationships, work satisfaction and mental health are more important for us as individuals than how much we earn.（4）For individuals in search of a better life, the market for books on happiness is booming(繁荣). In 2018, three million self-help books were sold in the UK. Each book promises a great new life. But is there a book that looks at whether self-help books actually work? （5）It’s called Help Me!: How self-help has not changed my life.A.Yes. There is!B.They knew nothing about happiness.C.Happiness can mean something different to each of us.D.As societies, we are happier if there is social trust and freedom.E.It was almost impossible for them to think about quality of life.F.Of course, I found a lot of titles of self-help books in my local bookshop.G.It showed that increased wealth did not seem to be making people happier.三、完形填空Maggie Doyne was 18 when she took a gap year between high school and college.

R. Coe family and current state park arboretum（植物园）property is woodland that includes nature walks and a greenhouse," confirmed by Brian Nearing, an officer at New York State Parks.

When you're at Blydenburgh County Park, go in the north entrance off New Mill Road near Route 347, where the main office of the Greenbelt Trail Conference is situated.

The hole went right through the 10-foot-thick ice-berg. It was just wide enough for a man, and below it lay the sea. We had never tried to dive through such a small opening. I went first. Pushing and pulling with hands, knees, heels, and the tips of my swim fins, I moved through the hole.The bottom surface of the sea ice is a thick mixture of floating ice blocks, and my fall had set them in motion. They were meeting on the hole as if it had been an upside-down drain. By the time I pushed one arm into the icy blocks, it was three feet thick. Grabbing the safety rope, I was scared and pulled myself up inch by inch, but my shoulders got stuck. Suddenly I was astonished by a sharp blow to the head: Cédric Gentil, one of my dive buddies, was trying to dig me out, and his spade（锹）had struck my skull. Finally a hand grabbed mine and dragged me into the air. Today's dive was over—but it was only one of 32.I've come here with another photographer, Vincent Munier, at the invitation of filmmaker Luc Jacquet, who's working on a sequel（续集）to his 2005 accomplishment, March of the Penguins. While Jacquet films emperor penguins and Munier photographs them, my team will document life under the sea ice.I've worked for decades as a deep-diving photographer, at first in the Mediterranean Sea, where I learned to dive 30 years ago. Later, a passion for new mysteries took me elsewhere. I've dived to 400 feet off South Africa to photograph rare coelacanths（a large fish）, and for 24 straight hours off Fakarava, in French Polynesia, to witness the pairing of 17,000 groupers. But this exploration to Antarctica is unlike any other. Here we'll be diving deeper than anyone has dived before under Antarctic ice—and the conditions will be beyond harsh.A.Because it was formed more recently.B.Because it was near their research base.C.Because the water there was shallower.D.Because the temperature there was higher.（2）What frightened the author when he wanted to return to the surface?A.The safety rope was missing.B.Floating ice blocks were about to fill the hole.C.An unknown creature attacked him.D.His workmate hit his head by a tool to save him.（3）Why did the author dive into the Antarctica?A.To record his travel in the sea.B.To conduct a research under the sea.C.To photograph the pairing of penguins.D.To shoot the sea-born life for Jacquet.（4）What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A.Introduce his achievements.B.Show his special interest in diving.C.Stress that the exploration to Antarctica was unique.D.Add some scientific background information.3.You go to the coffee shop and take your coffee to go. You enjoy your drink, and then throw the paper cup in the garbage. Or do you put it in the recycling? It's confusing. A lot of us—people everywhere—are using to-go cups these days. "A recent report said that thereare 600 billion cups—billion with a 'b'—that are produced and sold globally on an annual basis. So that's a lot," says Christy Slay with The Sustainability Consortium. Starbucks alone says it contributes 1 percent of those disposable（一次性的）cups: That's an estimated 6 billion cups a year.To help reduce those numbers, Starbucks and McDonald's are launching a three-year project to build a better cup: one that's both fully recyclable and compostable（可用作堆肥的）. Here's the big problem with the paper ones you get there and in other coffee shops. "They look like paper, but they actually have a thin layer of plastic on the inside," Slay says. That plastic coating keeps the cups from leaking. The problem is that it also makes the cups reallyA few companies have already rolled out compostable coffee cups. But Dylan de Thomas with The Recycling Partnership says there's a problem with those cups, too. "Typically they're compostable in industrial settings, so not your backyard compost that you and I might have, but at fairly technically advanced composting facilities." There aren't a lot of those facilities around, either.So why exactly, in the 21st century, is it so hard to produce a better paper cup? "It's not necessarily very technically hard, though there are technical problems to overcome to make something recyclable and compostable," says Bridget Croke with Closed Loop Partners, a firm working to build what they call a circular economy. "It's a fancy way of talking about turning waste into value. Almost anything is technically recyclable," Croke says. "But recycling is a business, and if materials can't move through the recycling system and be turned into a product that has value, they're not functionally recyclable."（1）What are people puzzled at about the paper cup?A.How to deal with the used one.B.Why people reject it carelessly.C.What makes it hard to compost.D.Why Starbucks uses so many cups.（2）How does the plastic layer of the paper cup function?A.It helps make the cup more portable.B.It makes the cup easily recyclable.C.It prevents the water from escaping.D.It promotes the extended use of the cup.（3）What does Bridget Croke think of recycling the cup?A.Its future is promising.B.It is not a profitable business.C.Its technical problems are unsolvable.D.A more recyclable cup will be put into the market.（4）What can be the best title for the text?A.How can we design a better paper cup?B.Why is it so hard to recycle paper cups?C.What can we do to lessen the need of paper cups?D.What damage do paper cups cause to our environment?4.How can we possibly cope with the large amount of information about virus spread, stock market nosedives, canceled plans and uncertainty about the future? Some people are buried in the fear, anxiety and sadness, checking news sites and social media constantly. Others try to suppress it all and ignore the outside world（I'm guessing that Instagram has never seen so much traffic）.There's a third option, though. Rather than fully involving in the negative or ignoring it, we can do our best to experience joy alongside everything else that is sad in the world. In fact, research that I and others have conducted suggests that allowing the two different emotions to coexist may actually benefit us in the long run.Dr. Jeff Larsen and his colleagues coined something known as the "coactivation model of mixed emotions", and the basic idea is that we may be able to deal with, and learn from negative emotions like sadness if we experience them concurrently with positive emotions like joy at the same time. Here, positive emotions provide a psychological buffer（缓冲）, making it easier for people to deal with the things they don't want to face.The comedian Mitch Hedberg proposed an analogy that captures this essence quite well, noting that "it would be cool if you could eat a carrot with an onion ring and they would travel down to your stomach. Then they would get there, and the carrot would say, 'It's cool, he's with me.'" Applied to our emotional lives, we could do a better job in digesting, processing and gaining insight into the negative events in our lives if we could do so alongside the positive.Several years ago, my partner Jon Adler and I set out to test this exact idea. Specifically, we looked at a sample of adult volunteers who signed up for weekly mental health therapy sessions. Between each week, they reported the feelings they were having and also took a few questionnaires that were meant to assess their overall health. This design allowed us to examine how different emotional experiences would impact mental health in a longitudinal fashion, over the course of 12 weeks.（1）What does the author recommend people to do with a flood of bad news?A.Take no notice of it at all.B.Make better plans to fight against it.C.Take in all of the negative emotions.D.Involve in the negative and enjoy happiness as well.（2）Which of the following may Jeff Larsen agree with?A.Mixed emotions remain to be proved.B.The negative emotion is easy to deal with.C.The positive emotion makes it easier for people to succeed.D.Mixed emotions allow people to handle the negative better.（3）What does the underlined word "analogy" in paragraph 4 mean?A.Exhibition.B.Promotion.C.Similarity.D.Requirement.（4）Why were lots of questions asked during the research?A.To measure the volunteers' health on the whole.B.To record what the volunteers are experiencing.C.To treat the mental diseases of the adults.D.To overturn the theory coactivation model of mixed emotions.二、七选五阅读5. 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。
