By 1928, the rest of the world did, too. At the age of 41 she was living in New York City and becoming a well﹣known painter. Still, O'Keeffe wasn't happy. New York had been a good source of ideas for almost ten years. Now those ideas were drying up. O'Keeffe felt like she needed a change. She had visited New Mexico in 1917 with her sister. The wide open space had thrilled her. "Maybe I should go back," she thought. In April of 1929, O'Keeffe packed her bags.The wide open space of New Mexico drew O'Keeffe in. She spent hours just watching the sky change. Because the light was so clear, she felt like she could see for the first time. The beauty of the land renewed her. She couldn't wait to start painting. Cow and horse skulls and desert flowers filled her canvases (画布). The colors of the desert inspired O'Keeffe. As a result, she made new choices in her artwork. "The color up there is different," she explained. She loved the dusty blues and greens.That August, O'Keeffe went home to New York. It was the start of a pattern. Each spring, she traveled to New Mexico to paint. These trips restored her spirit. Then, in the fall, she would return to New York. There, she showed her work. Each time O'Keeffe visited New Mexico, she explored a little more.The bleached animal bones and skulls that O'Keeffe found excited her because she could see their special beauty. The bones didn't mean death to O'Keeffe. To her, they showed the lasting beauty of the desert. The landscapes, clear light, and bright colors also spoke to her. She often painted close﹣ups of the rocks and mountains. Later, she began to travel more in search of new ideas. However, she always came back to New Mexico.As O'Keeffe grew older, her eyesight began to fail. Still, O'Keeffe wasn't ready to give up. Her friend Juan Hamilton helped her work with watercolors. He also taught her to sculpt. As a result, she made art into her 90s. When she died at the age of 98, Hamilton sprinkled her ashes over the desert. Her body became part of the land that had touched her art and her life.（1）O'Keeffe was unhappy in New York in 1928 because .A．she was lack of the creative ideasB．she felt disappointed about her jobC．she was not successful as an artistD．she felt bored about life in a big city（2）After her trips to New Mexico, O'Keeffe .A．received great reputation thereB．discovered the meaning in her lifeC．chose to settle down in that countryD．got new thoughts from the scenery（3）What can we know about O'Keeffe from the passage？A．She was never afraid of failure and death.B．She was devoted and passionate about art.C．She was patient with the coming chances.D．She was curious about the nature of people.（4）Which of the following could be the best title for this article？A．Lifestyle in the Desert B．Special Love for ArtC．Inspiration from the Desert D．Modern Women Artists8．阅读理解"You'll get square eyes!" my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV. I ignored her, of course. Past﹣forward a few decades and now I'm the parent. My 5﹣year﹣old lives in a world where screens aren't fixed pieces of furniture. You can't even avoid them by going outside. Screens are not only in our pockets; they're everywhere.The concerns have grown with the screens. In the past decade, we have heard that they will damage our mental health. Many of us feel more distracted by them, feeling guiltier and more tired as a result.The apps and websites we can access on our phones have also sparked widespread concern. Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social recognition, hooking us on likes, retweets and follower counts. Social media has created a culture of mass narcissism (自恋), which has led many to worry about the emotional stresses on teenagers. A quick online search brings up dozens of papers linking screen use or social media with harmful effects on mental health, including depression and suicide.Such statements are alarming. They are also widely believed, thanks to popular books like iGen by Jean Twenge, which claims that digital technology has ruined a generation. Yet, Amy Orben at the University of Oxford, who studies the impact of digital technology and social media in particular on mental health, holds different views. She claims that the underlying data can be used to tell different stories. She also spotted shortcomings in several large studies that claimed to show correlations (相关性) between the use of devices with screens and depression in users.Twenge stands by her own finding, pointing in turn to what she considers flaws in Orben's research methods. For David Max, at Royal College of Child Health in London, the effect of screen time and social media use on mental health remains speculative. "We cannot regard social media overall as good or bad," says Davie. "We don't know whether in individual cases social media is not responsible," he says.The explosion of mobile phone use has revolutionized our lives. I can download movies, write articles, communicate with my family and broadcast to the world all at the push of a button. Rather than impose constraints (限制), we should take a look at our use of screens and ask how they fit with the activities and lifestyle.Every new technology with widespread impact has given rise to new fears. So the best bet may simply be to ask yourself what level of screen use makes you and those around you happy and try to stick to it. If you find yourself over addictive, don't panic﹣and certainly don't feel guilty. Nobody knows anything worth getting scared about.（1）According to the passage, people give likes, retweet or count followers to .A．share one's lifestyles B．show respect for othersC．seek social recognition D．relieve emotional stresses（2）The underlined word "speculative" probably means " ".A．doubtful B．specific C．important D．abstract（3）What can be learned from the passage？A．Teenagers are more affected by screen use both physically and mentally.B．Orben claims it is far too early to blame screen use for ruining a generation.C．Big tech companies help to produce many research papers on mental health.D．Twenge mainly introduces the overall benefits of digital technology in her books.（4）The passage is written to .A．encourage readers to reduce the time of screen useB．share different opinions on the effects of screen useC．explain why screen use may have negative effects on peopleD．relieve people's concerns and worries about the use of screens1小题；每小题8分，共8分）9．阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题.Go, commonly known in China as weiqi, is a board game for two players that needs logical (逻辑的) strategies. To win, the player must use black and white playing pieces to surround more field than the other player. The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago. It enjoys a wide fan base, mostly in East Asia ﹣but it is becoming more popular in other areas of the world.Schreiber, vice chair of Berlin Go Association, was introduced to the game 16 years ago, but thought the game rather boring at first. Similarly, Urban, chair of Berlin Go Association, accidentally discovered a book on Go on his mother's bookshelf when he was 37 years old. "I tried to understand the rules because I love board games and I did not get it," added Urban. But they both found the game more and more interesting after practice. "It's like speaking to another but with your hands. You make a very direct message," explained Schreiber.Schreiber recommended children learn Go because he believed it could be beneficial for them. "They learn that there is always someone stronger and they learn that it's okay to lose. They learn how to improve from their mistakes and say tomorrow will be better than today," he explained.To the experienced players, Go can be very addictive, as it carries meanings not just in leisure, but also in culture. Many are too quick to judge other people's cultures. Confucius said, "Tell me, I'll forget；Show me, I may remember；Involve me, and I will understand. " With Go, people only get stronger if they play against different players. With culture, one need ot go and talk to people, even better if in their language. If you can't, maybe it's enough to use the Go board as the language.As cooperation between China and Germany deepens in many aspects of life, efforts have been made to further popularize Go in Europe. The European. Go Congress has been hosting annual competitions since 1983. Training courses are also offered, and professional players from China are invited to deliver lectures for game loves in Europe.（1）When was Go invented in China？（2）How did Schreiber and Urban feel about Go after practice？（3）Why did Schreiber recommend children learn Go？（4）What has happened as a cooperation between China and Germany deepens？答案解析部分1．【答案】sang；were joined；touching【知识点】语法填空【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了国庆70周年青少年唱起《我和我的祖国》，令人感动的一幕。

Over the radio.BA Kenyan teacher who gave away most of his monthly salary(工资) to poor people has won a $1-million Global Teacher Prize.In 2016, Peter Tabichi came to Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School, a public school, in a faraway Kenya s Rift Valley. The school had just a single computer and had problems connecting to the Internet. It had no library or laboratory, as well. To make matters worse, the students came from poor families where basics like food and clothing were hard to come by. While these difficulties would have caused most people to leave quickly, Tabichi stayed.Realizing that starving kids make for poor students, the teacher began using as much as 80 percent of his monthly salary to buy food and learning objects for them. He set up a science club to get kids interested in the topic. ＂Our laboratory does not have everything, but I encourage them to think wider and use what we can get locally.＂Tabichi and other four teachers regularly visit low-achieving, at-risk, students at their homes to provide one- on-one help and to understand the difficulties these children face daily. Tabichi also encourages parents to allow girls to continue their high-school education.Tabichi's efforts have made a difference. School registration (注册) has more than doubled to almost 400 now since he came. In 2017, 16 of the 59 graduating students went to college, while in 2018, the number rose to 26. In 2017, five students qualified(有资格) for the Intel ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair). This year, two other students will compete in the 2019 Intel ISEF to be held in Phoenix, Arizona.The teacher, however, owes his success to his students, saying, ＂I am only here because of what my students have achieved. This prize gives them a chance. It tells the world that they can do anything. ＂As would be expected, Tabichi plans to spend the prize money on his school community and to feed the poor. 5．What is the text mainly about?A．A school located in a Kenya's Rift valley became famous.B．A Kenyan teacher helping poor students won Global Teacher Prize.C．A Kenyan teacher helped girls to continue their high-school education.D．Five Kenyan students qualified for the Intel ISEF for their performance.6．What can we know about Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School?A．It had dozens of teachers.

It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes f riends don’t get along well, which doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than those people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.9. The first paragraph tells us ___________.A. none needs friendsB. we need to be aloneC. we always need friends around usD. making friends is the need in people’s life10.

My father was a factory worker, and my mother stayed at home. Each year my father would dress up as Santa Claus and go through the streets of the projects sharing joy and candies with the children there. He loved it as much as they did!But around the Christmas in 1970, my father was out of his job and money was tight. In fact, there was no money for Christmas and my parents weren’t sure what they’d provide for us.That Christmas Eve, however, as usual, my father left the house dressed as Santa Claus. He knew that even though our Christmas would be hard, he could not disappoint the other kids in the neighborhood.As my father left the house and went down the walkway, Santa Claus was walking up, with a great sack (麻布袋) full of gifts for us! He said nothing, only smiled a sweet smile at my father, and wished him a Merry Christmas. The happy man handed Dad the sack and walked away down the block.We never knew who the man was and who showed us great kindness on a snowy Christmas night. We do know, however, that without him we would have had nothing under the tree. His kindness gave my parents hope and showed us in a very real way the true meaning of Christmas.Our family has never forgotten this kind stranger. Each year we tell the story of the mysterious Santa Claus and try to repay his gifts by giving gifts to others in need.13.

thought of herself as an artist．By 1928，the rest of the world did，too．At the age of 41 she was living in New York City and becoming a well﹣known painter．Still，O'Keeffe wasn't happy．New York had been a good source of ideas for almost ten years．Now those ideas were drying up．O'Keeffe felt like she needed a change．She had visited New Mexico in 1917 with her sister．The wide open space had thrilled her．"Maybe I should go back，" she thought．In April of 1929，O'Keeffe packed her bags．The wide open space of New Mexico drew O'Keeffe in．She spent hours just watching the sky change．Because the light was so clear，she felt like she could see for the first time．The beauty of the land renewed her．She couldn't wait to start painting．Cow and horse skulls and desert flowers filled her canvases （画布）．The colors of the desert inspired O'Keeffe．As a result，she made new choices in her artwork．"The color up there is different，" she explained．She loved the dusty blues and greens．That August，O'Keeffe went home to New York．It was the start of a pattern．Each spring，she traveled to New Mexico to paint．These trips restored her spirit．Then，in the fall，she would return to New York．There，she showed her work．Each time O'Keeffe visited New Mexico，she explored a little more．The bleached animal bones and skulls that O'Keeffe found excited her because she could see their special beauty．The bones didn't mean death to O'Keeffe．To her，they showed the lasting beauty of the desert．The landscapes，clear light，and bright colors also spoke to her．She often painted close﹣ups of the rocks and mountains．Later，she began to travel more in search of new ideas．However，she always came back to New Mexico．As O'Keeffe grew older，her eyesight began to fail．Still，O'Keeffe wasn't ready to give up．Her friend Juan Hamilton helped her work with watercolors．He also taught her to sculpt．As a result，she made art into her 90s．When she died at the age of 98，Hamilton sprinkled her ashes over the desert．Her body became part of the land that had touched her art and her life．（1）O'Keeffe was unhappy in New York in 1928 because．A．she was lack of the creative ideasB．she felt disappointed about her jobC．she was not successful as an artistD．she felt bored about life in a big city（2）After her trips to New Mexico，O'Keeffe．A．received great reputation thereB．discovered the meaning in her lifeC．chose to settle down in that countryD．got new thoughts from the scenery（3）What can we know about O'Keeffe from the passage？A．She was never afraid of failure and death．B．She was devoted and passionate about art．C．She was patient with the coming chances．D．She was curious about the nature of people．（4）Which of the following could be the best title for this article？A．Lifestyle in the DesertB．Special Love for ArtC．Inspiration from the DesertD．Modern Women Artists18．（8分）"You'll get square eyes!" my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV．I ignored her，of course．Past﹣forward a few decades and now I'm the parent．My 5﹣year﹣old lives in a world where screens aren't fixed pieces of furniture．You can't even avoid them by going outside．Screens are not only in our pockets；they're everywhere．The concerns have grown with the screens．In the past decade，we have heard that they will damage our mental health．Many of us feel more distracted by them，feeling guiltier and more tired as a result．The apps and websites we can access on our phones have also sparked widespread concern．Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social recognition，hooking us on likes，retweets and follower counts．Social media has created a culture of mass narcissism （自恋），which has led many to worry about the emotional stresses on teenagers．A quick online search brings up dozens of papers linking screen use orsocial media with harmful effects on mental health，including depression and suicide．Such statements are alarming．They are also widely believed，thanks to popular books like iGen by Jean Twenge，which claims that digital technology has ruined a generation．Yet，Amy Orben at the University of Oxford，who studies the impact of digital technology and social media in particular on mental health，holds different views．She claims that the underlying data can be used to tell different stories．She also spotted shortcomings in several large studies that claimed to show correlations （相关性）between the use of devices with screens and depression in users．Twenge stands by her own finding，pointing in turn to what she considers flaws in Orben's research methods．For David Max，at Royal College of Child Health in London，the effect of screen time and social media use on mental health remains speculative．"We cannot regard social media overall as good or bad，" says Davie．"We don't know whether in individual cases social media is not responsible，" he says．The explosion of mobile phone use has revolutionized our lives．I can download movies，write articles，communicate with my family and broadcast to the world all at the push of a button．Rather than impose constraints （限制），we should take a look at our use of screens and ask how they fit with the activities and lifestyle．Every new technology with widespread impact has given rise to new fears．So the best bet may simply be to ask yourself what level of screen use makes you and those around you happy and try to stick to it．If you find yourself over addictive，don't panic﹣and certainly don't feel guilty．Nobody knows anything worth getting scared about．（1）According to the passage，people give likes，retweet or count followers to．A．share one's lifestylesB．show respect for othersC．seek social recognitionD．relieve emotional stresses（2）The underlined word " speculative " probably means ""．A．doubtfulB．specificC．importantD．abstract（3）What can be learned from the passage？A．Teenagers are more affected by screen use both physically and mentally．B．Orben claims it is far too early to blame screen use for ruining a generation．C．Big tech companies help to produce many research papers on mental health．D．Twenge mainly introduces the overall benefits of digital technology in her books．（4）The passage is written to．A．encourage readers to reduce the time of screen useB．share different opinions on the effects of screen useC．explain why screen use may have negative effects on peopleD．relieve people's concerns and worries about the use of screens第二节阅读回答问题（共1小题；每小题8分，共8分）阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题．19．（8分）Go，commonly known in China as weiqi，is a board game for two players that needs logical （逻辑的）strategies．To win，the player must use black and white playing pieces to surround more field than the other player．The game was invented in China more than 2，500 years ago．It enjoys a wide fan base，mostly in East Asia﹣but it is becoming more popular in other areas of the world．Schreiber，vice chair of Berlin Go Association，was introduced to the game 16 years ago，but thought the game rather boring at first．Similarly，Urban，chair of Berlin Go Association，accidentally discovered a book on Go on his mother's bookshelf when he was 37 years old．"I tried to understand the rules because I love board games and I did not get it，" added Urban．But they both found the game more and more interesting after practice．"It's like speaking to another but with your hands．You make a very direct message，" explained Schreiber．Schreiber recommended children learn Go because he believed it could be beneficial for them．"They learn that there is always someone stronger and they learn that it's okay to lose．They learn how to improve from their mistakes and say tomorrow will be better than today，" he explained．To the experienced players，Go can be very addictive，as it carries meanings not just in

2019-2020学年北京理工大学附属中学分校高三英语月考试题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AOn Friday morning when 53-year-old Thong Pham broke into the house through the unlocked back door, he took a steak knife from the kitchen.It was dark, and the family didn't know what Marley was barking (吠) at. Taylor, Amber and their girls Finley, 6,and Sadie, 4, soon woke up and came downstairs, too. “Well, it was dark so we couldn't see anything, only could hear Marley,” Amber recalled, saying her husband then went for the lights. “And once he turned the hall light on, we realized that the guy was holed up in the corner trying to hide.”“So I think he got to the front door and realized he couldn't get out, and by that point in time, Marley's got him cornered,”Taylorsaid. Pham slashed (砍) both Marley and Taylor, and blood went everywhere. Taylor shared a video summary to his Facebook page, where he said Marley was stabbed (刺) up to six times, mostly around the head and neck area. “And as I pulled back, blood shot out of my arm,”Taylorcontinued. “She got him pretty good and I got him pretty good in the face.”“But it was really hard because I was trying to make sure that my husband wasn't going to die,” Amber explained, adding that she was trying to protect their two girls. “When he realized that the two girls were in the house, that's when he kind of backed up and started running. "Taylorexpressed gratitude to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. And the family is thankful for their dog Marley.“She's our hero,” Amber said. “If it hadn't been for her, that guy could have gone in the...he could have gone to their rooms or something.”Tayloradded, “Yeah, I mean, the story plays out very differently if Marley's not there.”1. Why did the family come downstairs before daybreak?A. To stop a break-in.B. To lock the back door.C. To check on Marley.D. To turn the hall light on.2. What happened during the fight?A. Pham dug a hole in the corner.B. Marley was injured but bit back.C. Taylor had a backup from neighbors.D. Amber fought back to protect her girls.3. What doesTaylormainly express on his Facebook?A. Forgiveness.B. Concern.C. Anger.D. Appreciation.BThermoelectric generators turn waste heat into electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions, like a free lunch. But the high cost of these devices has prevented their widespread use. Now, researchers have found a way to make cheap thermae-lectrices that work just as well. The work could pave the way for greener car engines, and other energy-generating devices.“This looks like a very smart way to realize high performance,” says Li-Dong Zhao, a materials scientist. He notes there are still a few more steps before these materials can become high-performing. However, he says, “This will be used in the not too far future.”Thermoelectrics are semiconductor devices placed on a hot surface. That gives them a hot side and a cool side. If a device allows the hot side to warm up the cool side, the electricity stops flowing. A device’s success at preventing this, as well as its ability to conduct electrons, feeds into a score known as the figure of merit, or ZT.Researchers have produced thermoelectric materials with increasing ZTs. The record came in 2014 when Mercouri Kanatzidis came up with a tin selenide with a ZT of 3.1. Yet the material was too fragile to work with. “For practical applications, it’s a non-star-ter,” Kanatzidis says.Getting through that door will still take some time. The tin selenide the team makes is mixed with Na, creating a “p-type” material that conducts positive charges. To make working devices, researchers also need an “n-type” version to conduct negative charges.Zhao’s team is now working on making an n-type version. Once successful, researchers should have a clear path to making a new generation of super-efficient thermoelectric genera-tors. Those could be installed everywhere from automobile exhaust pipes to water heaters and industrial smelters toscavengesome of the 65% of fossil fuel energy that winds up as waste heat.4. The first paragraph wants to tell us________.A. The wide use of thermoelectric generatorsB. The devices of current thermoelectric generatorsC. The reason why researchers make cheap thermoelectricsD. The greener car engines that contribute to environmental protection5. How does Li-Dong Zhao feel about cheap thermoelectric generators?A. Indifferent.B. Optimistic.C. Critical.D. Worried.6. What do you know about the research in 2014 from paragraph 4 and 5?A. It was far from a success for practical applications.B. A tin selenide with a ZT of 3.1 can be easy to work with.C. Researchers made an “n-type” version to make working devicesD. A “p-type” material made from the tin selenide conducts negative charges7. What does the underlined word “scavenge” in the last paragraph mean?A. Recycle.B. Produce.C. Clean.D. Increase.CAddiction to smartphones will result in poor sleep, according to a new study.The study, published Tuesday in Frontiers in Psychiatry, looked at smartphone use among 1,043 students between the ages of 18 and 30at King's College London. Researchers asked the students to complete two questionnaires on their sleep quality and smartphone use, in person and online.Using a 10-question scale that was developed to judge smartphone addiction in children, nearly 40% of the university students qualified as "addicted" to smartphones, the study found. “Our findings are in agreement with other reported studies in young adult populations globally, which are in the range of 30-45%,” lead author Sei Yon Sohn and her co-authors wrote in the study. "Later time of use was also significantly connected with smartphone addiction, with use after 1 a.m. increasing a 3- times risk," the authors wrote.Students who reported high use of smartphones also reported poor sleep quality, the study found. That foils in line with previous studies that have found overuse of smartphones at night to be associated with trouble falling asleep, reduced sleep duration (睡眠持续时间)and daytime tiredness. That's likely because use of smartphones close to bedtime has been shown to delay the body's normal sleep - and - wake clock.In fact, the No. 1 rule is "no computers, cell phones, and ipads in bed and at least one hour beforebed Dr. Vsevolod Polotsky, who directs sleep basic research, said in a recent interview. That's because "any LED light source from electronics (电子设备)may further hold back melatonin (褪黑激素)levels," Polotsky said. Melatonin is often referred to as a "sleep hormone," because we sleep better during the night when levels reach the top.“This is a cross-sectional study, and it cannot lead to any firm conclusions about smartphone use as the cause of reduced sleep quality, said Bob Patton, a lecturer in clinical psychology at the University of Surrey, via email.8. How did Sei Yon Sohn's team begin their study?A. By publishing researching papers.B. By responding to others’ concern.C. By collecting firsthand data.D. By turning to related experts.9. What did the study find about sleep quality and smartphone use?A. 30-45% of the university students are addicted to smartphones.B. High use of smartphones is related to poor sleep quality.C. Overuse of smartphones leads to shorter sleep duration.D. Use after 1 a.m. will result in smartphone addiction.10. What is Polotsky's opinion on electronics ?A. We should stop using them an hour before going to sleep.B. LED light source from them will delay normal sleep- and- wake clock.C. Reduced sleep quality has nothingto do with them.D. No electronics should be used in bed at any time.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Say No to SmartphonesB. Sleep Quality Can Be ImprovedC. LED Light Source Causes Great HarmD. Smartphone Addiction Ruins SleepDMedha Gupta sometimes felt worried about making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon -especially during the colder months in winter.Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. Shewas half-kidding,but Medha didn't take the challenge lightly. So she set out to work.The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can program it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.It was the first iOS app that Medha had created. While she didn't think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App. Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia's 10th District.The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering,and math by experimenting with coding and computer science. Winning students are invited lo attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also received $250 in Amazon Web Service credits.Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, program and test the app. As for her next app? Medha's not certain. She temporarily has her app-development ambitionson holdbecause she's busy teaching herself artificial intelligence to help deal with improper words on Facebook. Yes,she knows that there are teams of engineers probably doing the same thing. But she figures it can't hurt her own part, too.“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it,” she said. “After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves. ”12. Why did Medha Gupta feel worried?A. It took a long time to walk home.B. It was difficult to write an app.C. It was colder than ever in winter.D. It was unsafe to walk home alone.13. What is Medha's attitude to her mother's challenge?A. Serious.B. Casual.C. Uncertain.D. Indifferent.14. What does the underlined phrase “on hold” in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Developed.B. Delayed.C. Achieved.D. Satisfied.15. What's the main idea of the text?A. Medha signed up for the App Challenge.B. Medha designed Safe Travel successfully.C. An app Safe Travel guides walkers home.D.

2019-2020学年北京理工大附中高三英语期中考试试卷及答案解析
2019-2020学年北京理工大附中高三英语期中考试试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（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AGetting your kid to bed at night is seriously one of the most challenging things you'll ever have to do. Most kids are just so full of energy that they'll tire you out before they're halfway through their store of energy. An easy thing to calm down your child to get into bed is giving in and allowing some iPad screen time. However, it's really not a great idea, just like you thought.Researchers at theArizonaStateUniversityconducted a study with 547 kids between the ages of 7 to 9. Their parents tracked how much screen time the kids were allowed along with their sleep patterns. The study found that kids who did not engage in screen time before bed slept for 23 more minutes every week and also went to sleep about 34 minutes earlier than those playing with iPad. Although that might not seem like so much more time, quality of sleep is vastly important in Children's development.The CDC's (美国疾病控制中心)2018 National Youth Risk Survey outlines that good quality sleep can impact a child's life in many ways, including affecting grades and also weight gain. Students with an "A" average slept for 30 or more minutes per night than those with a "D" or"F" average.A 2018PennsylvaniaStateUniversitystudy showed that children with irregular bedtimes had a higher risk of having increased body weight. Those with consistent and age-appropriate bedtimes when they were 9 years old had a healthier BMI (体质指数)at age 15 than those with irregular bedtimes.Hard as it is, it's really important not to give in and hand over an iPad to your child who is about to go to bed. Just like it's important for adults to go to sleep without any distractions, it's even more important for kids.1. What do the findings of the researchers at theArizonaStateUniversitysuggest?A. More sleep is necessary for children's development.B. Enough sleep helps improve academic performances.C. Screen time before bed leads to later and less sleep.D. Children sleeping irregularly are easy to gain weight.2. What is the text mainly about?A. How is screen time affecting teenagers?B. What are negative effects of irregular bedtimes?C. When should you get your kid to bed at night?D. Why is screen time before bed a bad idea for kids?3. Who is the text intended for?A. Parents.B. Children.C. Teachers.D. Researchers.BPopularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannotbe measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.4. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by anIQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.5. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.6. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.7. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.CYou've probably heard it suggested that you need to move more throughout the day, and as a general rule of thumb, that "more" is often defined as around 10,000 steps. With many Americans tracking their stepsvia new fitness-tracking wearables, or even just by carrying their phone, more and more people use the 10,000-step rule as their marker for healthy living. Dr. Dreg Hager, professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins, decided to take a closer look at that 10,000-step rule, and he found that usingitas a standard may be doing more harm than good for many.“It turns out that in 1960 in Japan they figured out that the average Japanese man, when he walked 10,000 steps a day burned something like 3,000 calories and that is what they thought the average person should consume so they picked 10,000 steps as a number” Hager said.According to Hager, asking everyone to shoot for 10,000 steps each day could be harmful to the elderly or those with medical conditions, making it unwise for them to jump into that level of exercise, even if it's walking. The bottom line is that 10,000 steps may be too many for some and too few for others. He also noted that those with shorter legs have an easier time hitting the 10,000-step goal because they have to take more steps than people with longer legs to cover the distance. It seems that 10,000 steps may be suitable for the latter.A more recent study focused on older women and how many steps can help maintain good health and promote longevity (长寿).The study included nearly 17,000 women with an average age of 72. Researchers found that women who took 4,400 steps per day were about 40% less likely to die during a follow-up period of just over four years: Interestingly, women in the study who walked more than 7,500 steps each day got no extra boost in longevity.8. What does the underlined word "it' in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The phone recording.B. The 10,000-step rule.C. The healthy living.D. The fitness-tracking method.9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. How many steps a Japanese walks.B. How we calculate the number of steps.C. If burning 3,000 calories daily is scientific.D. Where 10,000 steps a day came from.10. Who will probably benefit from 10,000 steps each day according toHager?A. Senior citizens.B. Young short-legged people.C. Healthy long-legged peopleD. Weak individuals.11. How many steps may the researchers suggest senior citizens take each day?A. 4,400 steps.B. 10,000 steps.C. 2,700 steps.D. 7,500 steps.DImagine the feeling of swinging at a baseball going 100 miles per hour—without leaving your living room, or being in race car as it roars down the track, while you are sitting on the couch.These are just some of the ways that sports business leaders say virtual reality (VR) will revolutionize how people train for and experience sports. Virtual and augmented（增强的）realities are together known as mixed reality (MR). “American footballers are already using VR to better train their minds andread the field,” Ludden said. “This can allow players to perfect their skills without risking injury.”Canadian company D-BOX Technologies designs and produces moving seats found in cinema and theme parks. It is now moving into sports, and shows its Formula One (F1) racing simulator（模拟器）. The seats stimulate the force of gravity, speed and every shaking as Fl champion Lewis Hamilton zips around city streets.A simulation seat uses pre-programed data now. Someday, though, it could use real-time information sent by the car. “They couldbroadcast live content through a network in pop-up theaters around the world,” Ludden said. Say you want to experience the true stress of a batter being up against major-league baseball pitcher. “You can have a heartbeat added to the sensation on the seat and then you can feel it, boom, boom,” Maheu explained. “When he swings and hits the ball, you can have an impact.”One day, fans around the world could physically experience every game from their favorite player in real time. Ludden said that current and near-future technology could create “augmented stadiums” for live audiences. Panasonic launched its “Smart Venue” plans which included the overlaying of graphics, advertisements, player statistics and replays on the field of play at a pro football game. “If you are seated in the cheap seats, you can see this really useful.” “Fans may someday join in stadium wide games, using the field as a virtual gaming platform,”Ludden added.12. What does the underlined phrase “read the field” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Get off the playing field.B. Build up a football court.C. Judge the situation on the field.D. Ask players to play on the spot.13. What does Maheu think audiences can do in the future baseball game?A. Enjoy live content in any theater.B. Program the simulation seats in advance.C. Control the force and speed of the baseball.D. Experience the real time game with the player.14. What does Ludden mainly describe in the last paragraph?A. The origin of VR.B. A future stadium.C. An advertisement platform.D. The expectations of audiences.15. What is the main idea of the text?A. VR can improve players' skills for sports.B. VR increases fans' joy in the baseball game.C. VR can improve sports experience for players and fans.D. VR promises a new future for football players and games.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。

Sevenhugs has created HugOne that tracks different sleep patterns to help families consistently rest better. There are dozens of devices and tools devoted to monitoring the sleep. But, HugOne is the world’s first family smart home sleep system, which integrates a calculation rule for sleep patterns of children and adults.HugOne is a well-designed product, full of a sense of science and technology. It connects to a number of smaller sensors called “minihugs”, which are placed on the edge of each bed. They monitor the sleep patterns and other data coming from the person sleeping in that bed. The data arethen sent to an app on the smartphone.● The benefits of HugOne include:* Having a smart alarm clock on the app as HugOne learns your sleep cycle and automatically sets and sounds to when the best moment in your sleep cycle is identified.* Monitoring temperature and humidity in your bedroom as well as indoor air quality for the main living space.* Linking with smart lamps and thermostats, allowing users to fall asleep with sunset light and preferred nighttime temperatures, and wake up to sunrise light and preferred daytime temperatures.* Ensuring safety from electronic transmissions when you sleep-when the minihug senses a presence in bed, it shuts off its electronic transmissions and starts recording sleep data and sending them to the app.● The following are selected from customers’ comments:I prefer HugOne, since it’s convenient to use. I simply place the minihug in the corner of my bed under the sheet and it goes to work monitoring my sleep cycle. It’s really good.—Robert Compton● HugOne available for purchase includes:I think HugOne is a humanized product. It’s shareable, and I’ve connected eight minihugs to the HugOne base in my house. All my family members think highly of it.—Chris HanawaltHugOne will provide maximum protection for your sleep.

The passage is made more believable by ______.A. providing statisticsB. drawing a comparisonC. giving a demonstrationD. using recommendationsBJack was 11 months old in the spring of 2015 when his parents, Erika and Christopher, recognized his development was not progressing as it should. The feeling was familiar to the couple. Just a few months earlier, Jack’s brother Chase, who is 16 months older, had been diagnosed with autism(自闭症) after he did not reach motion and language standards as expected.Jack’s behaviors were similarly delayed, and his parents moved quickly to seek help. Today, Jack is 5 — he celebrated his birthday on May 13 — and he can speak in full sentences and read. After two years at a preschool that specializes in services for children with developmental disabilities, he will start kindergarten in theSmithtownschool district in September. “Our family’s experience is a good example of the power and effectiveness of early intervention. The services our boys have received made all the difference,” the parents said.According to scientists, autism can be detected at 18 months or younger, and by age 2 a diagnosis can be considered “very reliable.” The parents said they were happy with Chase’s success at the learning center, but still had concerns for Jack because he was not speaking. Developing social and communication skills can be among thegreatest challenge for individuals with autism, even if they are able to say a few words early on. “We didn’t know if he was ever going to talk,” Erika said. “That was my biggest fear. We just didn’t know.”Looking ahead, the parents are cautiously optimistic about Jack’s next educational move. He doesn’t handle change well, they said, and he likes to know his routine. Still, they expressed confidence that his time at the learning center has given him the skills he needs to be successful.4. How did Jack’s parents know he suffered from autism?A.

Autism can be confirmed at 18 months old.B. Jack’s parents were confident about his motor skills.C. Chase’s parents were doubtful about his developmentD. Jack’s parents worried about his language skills most.7. What is the text mainly talking about?A. Autism can be curedif parents take actions early.B. Parents should be confident about their children’s future.C. Early intervention in autism could improve children’s life.D. Communication skills should be developed as early as possible.CAncient Dunhuang manuscripts housed abroad have been edited and published by the Institute for Overseas National Literature of Northwest Minzu University since 2006.

So my daughter mad up a 3 "Low on gas, Can u help?" and held it outside the car hoping that a driver in the next lane（车道）would notice it and stop.There weren't too many vehicles passing us at the time.

A.riding on an elephantB.playing with childrenC.visiting famous buildingsD.meeting different people（1）（2）Travelling AbroadMany tourists go and see parks, museums and castle when they visit a new place. There are many things I like about travelling, but waiting in line to buy museum tickets and then having your visit ruined by noisy tour groups is not one of them. The things that make places special are all around the famous buildings, not inside them.My recent trip to India is a good example of this. By far the most interesting part of it was getting to know people—bicycle-taxi drivers, policemen riding elephants and children trying to earn some money by cleaning shoes. Meeting various people was all so amazing that I didn't need to do any "proper" sightseeing.I also have fantastic memories of Florence. It was a boiling hot day and people lined up for at least a kilometer long outside the museum. Instead of joining it, I sat in a shady square, ate a delicious pizza and listened to a man singing opera songs to only a few listeners. If I had waited in line, I would have missed this experience.One of the best things about travelling is creating memories to bring back. When I got back home from a holiday in Malaysia, I made some of the dishes I'd tasted in the food market.Maybe my results weren't as good as the real thing, but they reminded me of the places and the people I'd met—far better than anything from a gift shop.On his trip to India, the author enjoyed .In Florence, the author .A.went to a food marketB.talked with local peopleC.experienced local lifeD.lined up for museum ticketsA.it brought back memoriesB.it was easy to prepareC.he wanted to sell the foodD.he was going to Malaysia（3）A.How to prepare for a trip.B.What to take when travelling.C.Where to buy gifts in a foreign city.D.What to look for when travelling.（4）The author cooked Malaysian food at home because .What does the author try to tell us in the passage?3.Courses on Learning OnlineLearning and Communicating Online learning is likely to be important for you in the future, either at university or in the workplace.

Did you ace a man with a headset pointing a long stickat the ground? If so you might have seen a person using a metal detector. People use these tools to find metal. Metal detectors make magnetic waves. These waves go through the ground.The waves change when they hit metal. Then the tool makes a short high sound. This lets the person with the tool know that metal is close.The first metal detectors were meant to help miners to dig out minerals such as coal and gold from the earth. They were big and cost a lot of money. They used a lot of power. And worst of all, they didn't work well. People kept trying to make them better.Metal detectors got smaller. Now they are light and cheap. They also work better. That why people bring them to the beach. They can look for rings in the water or phone in the sand.Metal detectors help them find these things.Metal detectors also protect people. They help to keep guns out of some places. Guards use special thin sticks to look for knives, guns or metal on a person.A.How metal detectors work.B.Why magnetic waves change.C.The danger of metal detectors.D.The sounds of a metal detector.（1）A.Removing bombs.B.Finding needles in the clothes.C.Looking for minerals.D.Searching for dangerous things.（2）A.nervous B.special C.safe D.healthy（3）A.Inventor of a Useful Toolage of Metal DetectorsC.Finding Underground MetalsD.Changes of Magnetic Waves（4）These tools save lives in other ways too. During wars, soldiers plant bombs in the ground,When the war ends, they don't clean them up. This is unsafe for the people who live in those places. So they use metal detectors to find bombs and remove them.These tools also make clothes safer. I sounds funny, but it's true. Most clothes are made in big factories. Needles are easy to break and get sick in the clothes. They would hurt people. So our clothes are examined carefully by metal detectors.Let's hear it for metal detectors. They make the world a safe place.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?What were the first metal detectors used for?According to the passage, metal detectors can make people feel .What is the best title for the passage?5.Life lessons from deathLiving gratefully has a huge transforming power, not just when something wonderful or special happens, but every day no matter what is happening. I've recently been involved with two people whose lives were challenged by bad luck. I have seen how grateful living had the power to keep one of them going and how it's beginning to lift the other. One was a friend and the other is my sister.My friend seemed to be in good health when she received a deadly diagnosis （诊断）: a disease with no effective treatment. She had all the emotions that a tragedy （悲剧）brings, but she also had a powerful response to despair （绝望）that gave her "the happiness that doesn't depend on what happens." She wrote online daily, honestly sharing the details of her situations.She wrote that even though it was difficult to move, this gave her more time to notice small things. She was grateful not only for the love and help of family and friends, but also for time to see the sun rise and watch the birds in her yard. No opportunity for gratefulness was wasted.A.CalmB.LonelyC.SadD.Confused（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.Writing a blogB.Eating healthy foodC.Talking with familyD.Being grateful for life（3）A.B.C.D.（4）She taught that gratefulness is not a false cheerfulness. It's taking every opportunity to celebrate the blessings of small things. We can be grateful for the challenge that helps us develop compassion （同情） for each other. Life is a precious gift.She repeatedly blogged （写博客）that she was happier than she had ever been. When she wrote about "the worst day", she ended with "Life is still a lovely gift." She died later that day.Her message, however, changed my sister's life. My sister's health was getting worse and worse, though nothing life-threatening （威胁生命的）. She did have a very painful knee. Her life was in danger form her defeated spirit. She was bed-bound （卧床不起） , getting weaker and weaker. Fearful, angry and depressed. She felt out of options for recovery.l read my sister a few of my friend's messages. I was careful not to say, "Why can't you be more like her? " Instead, I let the words do their work. I'm grateful to say that an attitude of gratitude began to replace her anger and fear. I believe this helped her to heal.We can't be grateful for all that happens, but we can practise gratefulness for life itself, for all we can learn to deal with, for all the ways we can help each other grow and heal.How did the author's sister feel when she was ill?What happened when the author's friend found she had an incurable disease?She complained that life was unfair to her.She started to appreciate and enjoy the small things in life.She tried her best to look for the best doctors.She repeatedly b logged how painful it was.What does the underlined word "this" refer to in the passage?What message does the passage mainly convey?A friend in need is a friend indeed.Gratitude has the power of lifting people's spirits.Health is the most important thing for people.Families will always be there no matter what happens.三、语法填空（共15题，每题1分，共15分）6.Joe is a digital native.
