As a kid, I dictated stories to my parents.About 12 years ago,I was living in New York City and pursuing a master in creative writing. For years I'd been suffering vision disorder,but in New York my symptoms worsened. I became unable to read or write for any considerable length of time. I tried vision therapy(疗法），an overhead projector,a special pair of glasses-all in vain.Eventually,I discovered a computer program for the visually challenged. As I typed,my words were read aloud by an automated voice. With my screen dimmed to black,I relied entirely on audio feedback to know what I had written.Facing the blank page is worrying,but facing the black page is worse. The dark screen is a sinkhole that swallows creative hope. Sentences disappear into it like an astronaut into a black hole. I managed to complete my master degree, but it took me years to adapt to my new reality. The greatest barrier seemed to be the automated voice, which was likea robot parrot on my shoulder, and I wanted nothing more than to drive it away. If a pianist were forced to practice on an untuned piano,would it corrupt his ear over time?Of course,I could have quit writing and stopped making myself suffer.But it honestly never occurred to me-and I'm glad it didn't. Last year, after I told my story on the radio,I was contacted by VocaliD,a Massachusetts-based company that created a voice modeled on my own.The first time I heard the voice they created, it is so close to my own that the two are nearly indistinguishable. I've only just begun using this new voice. My hope is that this will restore a sense of solitude(孤独） to my writing process,allowing me easier access to that inner space where the imagination can take over, and I can forget myself, and the real work can begin.The black screen still exists-it always will-but the robot parrot has taken wing.24.What happened to the author when pursuing a master degree in New York?A.His sight started to fail due to much reading.B.His eyes couldn't sustain long hours of reading.C.He had to drop out due to his vision disorder.D.He successfully overcame his vision problem.25.What still bothered the author after he got his master degree?A. The untuned automated voice.B.The pet parrot on his shoulder.C.The computer with a dark screen.D.The noise from a neighboring pianist.26.How did the author feel when first hearing the voice created by VocaliD?A. Excited.B.Annoyed.C.Unmoved.D.Relaxed.27.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The automated voice is too annoying to bear.B.The author can restore his sight to normal.C.The author starts to enjoy his writing again.D.It is likely that the technology will improve.CAs a CEO of a startup, you get used to hearing"no".You also face an endless continuation of what feels like shocking crises, like nearly running out of cash, losing a key customer,discovering a widespread product failure, or having to shut down operations because of a global pandemic. But it tums out that these disasters can actually be good for you. In fact,I'm not sure whether you can innovate without them. Here's what all our crises have taught me.It's good to be uncomfortable. We once had a key customer request-a battery capability that we'd never developed before. The customer made it clear that if we couldn't develop this capability, they'd be less confident in our product. We wrestled with the risks, not least of which was the potential embarrassment if we couldn't meet the customer's needs. We knew we'd face many technical problems if we tried to go into operation. Yet we decided to try to satisfy the customer, even if it wasn't obvious at first how we could get it done. A few weeks later we deliveredsomething beyond what the customer had asked for, and we've since grown this capability into a powerful sales tool and potential revenue stream-not to mention it strengthened our relationship with the customer.Short-term failure is good. A few years ago, our company began to expand our manufacturing output in response to a customer's need. In the process we discovered something unusual we hadn't seen during smaller-scale production. Our team dived into failure analysis, and we finally put the problem down to a single material within the battery. We'd used this material for years, but now we needed a replacement. Once we made that change,the battery quality and reliability greatly improved.It's okay to show weakness. One of my hardest days as CEO.was the day when I found out I was pregnant.We were in the middle of raising a funding round, and I had been traveling nonstop for a year. Until that day,I had assumed that my role as CEO was to display strength and confidence. With the mounting pressure I was harder on myself than I needed to be, and now I had the added stress of being pregnant.I decided to acknowledge to my team that I was breaking down. They united together and found ways to operate more smoothly and communicate more effectively, supporting me to focus my time on most pressing goals. This gave me not only the space to plan for the company’s future,but also to prepare for my own new normal: leading while becoming a first-time mother.28. What does the underlined word "then" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A:Frequent rejections.B.Financial crises.C.Global pandemics.D.Endless disasters.29.What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 27A. Customers' requests should be carefully evaluated.B.Meeting challenges can bring about extra benefits.C.The company should keep launching new products.D.Innovation is the only way to win fierce competition.30. How does the author prove short-term failure is beneficial?A. By drawing a comparison.B.By giving an example.C.By challenging assumptions.D.By doing an experiment.31. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Learn to let goB.Make it as a CEOC.Think deep sometimesD.Make friends with crisesDWorried about the effect reality TV is having on your child? You aren't being overprotective-there's increasing evidence that these programmes can have a big impact on youngpeople.When our children are young,we tend to give careful thought to how much TV they're watching and whether or not it's good for them. But as they grow up, most parents let their kids make more independent choices about their viewing.However, if you've got children, you may want to stay attentive. A research indicates that some reality TV shows can be every bit as damaging for teenage girls as too many cartoons.are for kids－perhaps even worse.The truth is that reality TV is anything but reality-but that's not necessarily what our childrenbelieve.A study for the Girl Scout Research Institute in the US found that eight out of ten girls aged between 11 and 17 who regularly watch reality shows believe these programmes describe real life.In fact,much of reality TV is a heavily manipulated(操控）view of what's really happening, and the worst of it strengthens the sort of female stereotypes(刻板印象）women have spent decades trying to remove.Many of the women on reality TV shows are acting out lives as teenage mothers or drama queens.Strong,hard-working,purposeful young women with ambitions beyond their looks are rarein these programmes.There's a widespread emphasis on the value of women being about how they look and dress,which gives young viewers the message that being a woman is all about style andappearance, not what you do or stand for.Cultural critic and writer Jennifer Pozner describes reality TV as "the contemporary backlash（抵制）against feminism".Imran Siddiguee,Director of Social Media and Outreach, is concerned that these programmes show the worst stereotypes of womanhood and “normalize" them in what appear to be everyday settings."They offer such a limited view of what it is to be a woman, and all over the world young girls are addicted to it,"he says.Siddiquee does recognize, however,that many girls themselves value reality TV.Some say itencourages them to think about situations different from their own. They also point out that someshows feature women running their own successful businesses.＂It's important to acknowledge that there are some useful elements in reality TV,"Siddiquee says."But many girls need to be inspired to think more critically about some aspects of these shows so they're not manipulated by them and so their behaviour doesn't change because of them."We should encourage our children to be critical thinkers and help them develop their media literacy. Whether reality TV is changing our children's views, or whether they are attracted to programmes that agree with their beliefs, it's vital we recognize that their viewing habits could strengthen these unbalanced ideals.32.Who are likely to be the prime victims of reality TV shows?A.Small children.B.Teenage girls.C.New parents.D.Random audience.33. What is the problem with a reality TV show?A. It is too true to life for viewers to believe in.B. Actors in them lack a sense of innovation.C. Its contents and views are rather artificial.D.It can hardly cater for teenage girls' taste.34.As far as the author is concerned, what should reality TV shows present?A.Genuine accounts of females and their work.B.Ways to gain more popularity among peers.C.Distinction between true life and TV dramas.D.Tips on how to become ambitious young girls.35.Imran Siddquee believes that.A. it is normal to include stereotypes of females in reality TV showsB.teens need guidance on how to critically assess the contents of such showsC.parents should leave children to make independent choices when viewingD.there are more useful elements than bad stereotypes in reality TV shows第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

Rushing to work,watching the stock(股票）market drop daily,working long into the night on a project,all of these situations can build up stress. Stress in such situations means pressure,conflict,loss of control,and uncertainty.These feelings can lead to a variety of problems.36What is stress? Stress is your body's physical and psychological response to anything you regard as overpowering.This may be viewed as a result of life's demands,and your lack of resources to meet them.37 This additional energy cannot be destroyed. If not used,it creates an imbalance within your system. Somehow the energy must be channeled into responses to regain a balance.38 Without some stress you would lose your energy for living.You will do well on certain amounts; but too much or too little stress will limit your effectiveness.Ideally, you find your best level of stress-the balance at which you are most motivated.39 It can make you spend your efforts on not being unhappy, rather than on being happy.You can become negatively influenced in your attitudes and feelings about your life more easily.In addition, medical research estimates as much as 90 percent of illness and disease is stress-related.40 High blood pressure and heart disease have been linked to stress factors.Most health professionals agree stress can be a contributing factor in making existing medical problems worse.A.These different attitudes influence a person's reaction to stressful situations.B.That is why stress has such an ugly ring.C.Stress is a natural part of your life.D.In each person's life there are uncertainties.E.When stressed,your body creates extra energy to protect itself.F.Stress can have a bad effect on your physical functioning and bodily processes.G. Too much stress influences your daily life.7选5阅读答案：36-40 BECGF这篇七选五文章是一篇说明文，介绍了压力产生的原因、适当的压力的作用和不当的压力所带来的不良影响和后果，甚至导致身体疾病。

江苏省南京市、盐城市2021届高三第二次模拟考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择As 2021 unfolds ….…and you're joining us from Canada,we have a small favour to ask.Through these challenging times, millions rely on the Guardian for independent journalism that stands for truth.Readers chose to support us financially more than 1.5 million times in 2020,joining existing supporters in 180 countries.For 2021, we commit to another year of high-impact reporting that can offer an authoritative and trustworthy source of news for everyone.When important events happen, we can investigate and challenge without fear or favour.Unlike many others,we have maintained our choice: to keep Guardian journalism open for all readers,regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay.We do this because we believe in information equality, where everyone deserves to read accurate news and thoughtful analysis. Greater numbers of people are staying well-informed on world events, and being inspired to take meaningful action.In the last year alone, we offered readers a comprehensive, international viewpoint on critical events, especially on the climate emergency. We made the decision to reject advertising from fossil fuel companies.If there were ever a time to join us, it is now.Every contribution, however big or small, powers our journalism and helps sustain our future. Support the Guardian from as little asCA$1—it only takes a minute. Thank you.1．According to the text, the Guardian________.A．favors important events B．provides trustworthy reports C．finances readers in 180countries D．receives CA$1.5 million annually 2．What does the underlined word"this"in Paragraph4refer to?A．Making readers well-informed. B．Inspiring readers to take action. C．Fighting for information equality. D．Keeping the Guardian easily accessible. 3．What is the purpose of the text?A．To advertise the Guardian. B．To review achievements.C．To encourage donations. D．To inspire new ambitions.When I was 6, my elder brother brought me to the local BMX(自行车越野) track to ride in a kid’s race for the first time. The hill out of the starting gate looked so scary and step that I backed off. My parents took me back for another try the next week. I fell almost imme diately but still managed to win the second place. I’ve loved racing ever since.I turned pro at 15, which isn’t possible now: You have to be 17 to compete professionally around the time I went pro, BMX became an Olympic sport and I decided to pursue it af ter high school. I’m the youngest woman with a professional title in the United States.BMX isn’t judged on tricks or how you handle barriers, but it’s an extreme sport. It’s like horse racing mixed with riding a roller coaster. It starts with a huge burst of speed—I go 40 mph by the time. I’m two and a half seconds out of the gate. Then I try to come out in front of seven competitors at the end of the track, which includes 40-foot jumps. I keep chasing the high that comes from prestart nervousness, big jumps, and that feeling of crossing the finish line first.Strength and balance are key in competition, so I work out at least five days a week to prepare. I do tons of resistance and agility(灵活) training, both on and off the bike. I also domental drills with a sports psychologist to make sure I’m focused and confident going into competition. If I make a mistake on the course, I have to move on. Everyone is out to beat me;I need to concentrate on winning so my competitors can’t capitalize on an error and pass me!I was so proud to win a silver medal at the Olympics in Rio, but I felt I was capable of gold, so that will push me to do better. I’m continually working to reach my potential in the sport. Until I feel completely satisfied, I’ll keep coming back.4．What do we know about the author?A．She withdrew from her first BMX race.B．She became the youngest BMX rider in America.C．Her parents forced her to turn BMX professional.D．Her efforts resulted in BMX entering the Olympics.5．To win the BMX race,the author has to________.A．jump highest B．focus on other competitorsC．play tricks D．keep balanced all the way6．The underlined phrase “capitalize on” in Paragraph4probably means_________. A．make up for B．take advantage ofC．keep an eye on D．take notice of7．What qualities have led to the author’s success?A．Proud and serious. B．Ambitious and hard-working. C．Optimistic and generous. D．Independent and cooperative.What about your emotions? How do they help you to understand what you are reading?In Jane Yolan's Owl Moon,a girl explores with her father on a snowy night. She longs for this special night.And she's amazed when she sees an owl.Have you felt longing before? Amazement? Well, if you have, it helps you have a sense of agreement. When we can put ourselves inside a story we can understand it better. Our brain tells us,"Oh, this girl's experience is a bit like mine."And boom! We can relate to her.But this skill is not born in us.So young kids have to learn it.Pictures and images help young readers to understand and recognize feelings.Readers feel joy when seeing the smiling faces of friends.They feel fear when turning the page to find a scary monster. They are just pictures,but the feelings are real. This skill, to understand thethinking and feeling of others, is what researchers call "theory of mind".For example, think about the faces of people and animals in stories. The Big Bad Wolf's scary teeth. The 'o' shape of a surprised character's mouth. Or big, wide eyes like the girl in Owl Moon. By noticing the faces,readers can start to figure out what it feels like to be that character.And that helps to figure out how people feel and think in real life.But most young readers don't go into deep,scary woods.And some may not go to the beach or play basketball.In the book Yo!Yes?two kids meet and play ball. The kids start the story on opposite pages.But as the story goes on,they get closer until they are together.Some young readers might not play basketball, but they can read the clues on the page to figure out how the kids are feeling.And some readers might not like the game,but they can feel excited for the characters because of how the characters look and move.8．What can we learn from the second paragraph?A．Owl Moon talks about the exploration of the Moon.B．The feeling of"amazement"is a sense of agreement.C．Readers are blessed with the ability to interpret others.D．Readers with similar experience understand the story better.9．Which of the following might help readers develop"theory of mind"?A．True feelings. B．Smiling faces.C．Picture books. D．Reading skills.10．Young readers can go deeper into a story by________.A．tracking the plot B．developing new skillsC．sharing similar hobbies D．analyzing the background11．What is the text mainly about?A．How thinking influences reading. B．How readers improve reading skills. C．How emotions help enhance reading. D．How kids figure out the clues of stories.On a break from his studies in the MIT Media Lab,Anirudh Sharma traveled home to Mumbai, India. While there, he noticed that throughout the day his T-shirts were gradually gathering something that looked like dirt."I realized this was air pollution，or sooty（像煤一样）particulate matter (PM)，made of black particles released from exhaust（尾气）of vehicles，" Sharma says. "This is a major health issue."Soot consists of tiny black particles, about 2.5 micrometers or smaller, made carbon produced by incomplete burning of fossil fuels.Back at MIT,Sharma set out to help solve this air-pollution issue. After years of research and development, Sharma’s startup Graviky Labs has developed technology that attaches to exhaust systems of diesel generators（柴油发电机）to collect particulate matter.Scientists at Graviky then turn it into ink, called Air-Ink, for artists around the world. So far, the startup has collected I.6 billion micrograms of particulate matter.More than 200 gallons of Air-Ink have been harvested for a growing community of more than 1,000 artists, from Bangalore to Boston, Shanghai,and London.Posted all over Graviky Lab's Facebook page today are photos of art made from theAir-Ink and pant, including street wall paintings, body art and clothing prints.At first, there was still no specific application for the ink. Then the startup decided to find new ways to further spread its mission.It chose to do so through art."Art helps us raise awareness about where the ink and paint comes from. Air pollution knows no borders. Our ink sends a message that pollution is one of the resources in our world that's the hardest to collect and use.But it can be done,"Sharma says.12．What struck Sharma most during his break in India?A．Dirt on his T-shirts. B．Health issue of the locals.C．Coal industry in Mumbai. D．Incomplete burning of fossil fuels. 13．According to the text, Air-Ink is________.A．a cleaner of outdoor air B．a product made from PMC．a newly-founded company D．a printing technology14．What can we infer about Air-Ink from the text?A．It improves artistic effect. B．It makes pollution acceptable.C．It helps Sharma make a profit. D．It raises environmental awareness. 15．What might be the best title for the text?A．Arts know no borders B．Waste has no priceC．Less pollution, more art D．Creative thinking, effective painting二、七选五Rules for Being the Age You AreIf you have recently entered that period of life known as middle age, the building years of your life are over, and what you are now is pretty much what you are going to be. Soon it will be what you were. You can no longer tell yourself that you might move to Lisbon learnPortuguese, and take up the guitar.16．Do not just give people credits.17．Here’s a funny thing I’ve learned: No matter how many times you hear them, the words “You are amazing” never go out of style.Give yourself permission to be bad. You know what you’re really good at? Things you’ve done many times before. Mastery is boredom. Unfortunately we enjoy feeling like masters. 18．We keep ourselves bored to protect ourselves from feeling stupid.19．Nine t imes out of ten, you’ll be bored and go home early. But the tenth time, you will have a worthy experience to meet an interesting person. It will make up for those other wasted hours.Do that ting you want to do right now.I mean literally pause reading this column, pick up the phone, and book that skydiving session. RIGHT Now. Don’t put it off until you have the time to really relax and enjoy it. 20．It’s highly possible you won’t be able to enjoy it. I will never forgive myself for passing up a chance to go to trapeze school(空中飞人学校) in my late20s.A．Always do it later.B．We hate feeling like fools.C．Go home as late as possible.D．Tell them exactly how fantastic they are.E.Go to the party even when you don’t want to.F.That will be approximately three decades from now.G.But a set of simple rules can guide you the rest of the way.三、完形填空I was born well and complete.Now, 21 ,I became an"alien"with bulging（隆起的）eyes.That must have made my parents extremely 22 .Because of this,my father often found it hard to stay close to me and began to keep a 23 —.I believed that he no longer 24 me, when in fact his heart felt greatest pain.Things 25 when I was three.An eye doctor suggested an eyelid transplant（眼睑移植）.

江苏省2021届高三最新英语试卷精选汇编：七选五专题
七选五专题江苏省天一中学2021届高三新高考统一适应性考前模拟试题第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished(完成)in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. 36 Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent?37 They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the poin t where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team’s performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn’t evident in baseball, where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance.To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调)their actions. 38 In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team’s performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, “There is no I in TEAM.” 39Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛), whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force.40 . An A-team may require a balance—not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.A. It’s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.B. Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talentC. The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers’ attention.D. Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.E. Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.F. Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.G. This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.7选5阅读答案：36-40 BEGDF本篇七选五讨论如何将团队的作用最大化，并根据研究得出一个好的团队不是简单的人才累加。

They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者) occupied their homeland in the16th century.Canopus and HeracleionModern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion-where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren’t found until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物) showedthat the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt. Machu PicchuA Yale professor discovered "the Lost City in the Clouds"in 1911. A combination of palaces, plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons,was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries keeping it so well preserved.TroyThe ancient city of Troy in homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered (层叠) on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse.1.Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century?A.To survive the warB.To search for a lost city.C.To protect their country.D.To avoid dangerous animals2.Which of the following was related to a royal family member?A.The White CityB.Canopus and HeracleionC.Machu PicchuD.Troy3.What can we learn about Troy?A.It was built by Homer.B.It consisted of nine citiesC.It had a history of 5,000 yearsD.It was ruined by a natural disaster.BMedha 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 onlyone stopping us from doing something is ourselves. ”4. 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.5.

The App Challenge directs students to choose careers.CAs I work in theLarkwhistle Garden in Dyer's Bay, Ontario, I take my time and the garden is teaching me about working with the earth. I recognize that there will be both successes and failures and there are many variables(变量)that affect them both.The quality of the seeds planted has a bearing on how the plants will grow. The weather can be too hot, too cold, or exactly right, and usually varies between all three. Weeds seem to grow in the garden and need to be taken care of, pulled, and removed to ensure they do not eat into the fruits, vegetables, and flowers we have so lovingly planted.I take time to stand back and rest, and to observe the plants and how they are growing. Each plant is unique and develops in the way that is best for them. Some have large broad leaves to shadow their fruit from the severe rays of the sun, while other plants are more open, their fruit needing the light to grow and ripen.Getting my hands dirty, feeling the sweat on my forehead, and the strength and flexibility of my body as I dig, bend and work under the warm summer sun, reminds me I am alive in ways I would not have remembered sitting on the couch.It is attractive to move things around, to transplant, and to disturb the natural order of how plants grow. The garden teaches me that it is important to know when to disturb things and when to let them be. The garden's life cycle follows a pattern that is repeated according to laws of nature, birth, growth, and then dies and it teaches us to accept this fact.8. How many variables may affect the growth of plants in the garden?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.9. What can we learn about the author?A. He feels exhausted while gardening.B. He enjoys life from working practice.C. He takes pleasure in harvesting fruits.D. He dreams away his time in the garden.10. How is the garden tended by the author?A. Its rank grass is got rid of.B. Its plants are left to grow freely.C. Its temperature is controlled properly.D. Its plants with large broad leaves are cut off.11. What fact does the author learn from gardening?A. Life takes its course.B. Hard work benefits health.C. Time is short and precious.D. Gardening brings good harvest.DSummer is quickly passing by—but not without the ultimate meteor（流星）shower event!The2021 Perseids Meteor Shower, which is considered to be the best meteor shower of the year, is expected to start lighting up skies on this Wednesday, according to NASA. Known for fireballs, the Perseids typically light up skies on warm summer nights, leaving “long wake（尾迹）of light and color1 behind them.”Under ideal conditions, sky watchers may see approximately 50-100 meteors per hour with each meteor traveling at 37 miles per second. .Because the meteors appear in all parts of the sky, it will be pretty easy to witness the celestial（天上的）event from anywhere in the world. To get the best show, it is advised to view the Perseids from the Northern Hemisphere（半球）during the pre- dawn hours, ideally between 2 a.m. and dawn. In some cases, sky gazers may be able to seemeteors during this shower as early as 9 or 10 p. m.“If it's not cloudy, pick an observing spot away from bright lights, lie on your back, and look up! You don't need any special equipment to view the Perseids—just your eyes,” NASA wrote on their site, adding that telescopes or binoculars are not recommended due to their small fields of view.Remember to let your eyes become adjusted to the dark. Try to stay off of your phone too, as looking at devices with bright screens will negatively affect your night vision and thus reduce the number of meteors you see!For those who may be unable to view the Perseids in person, a live broadcast will be streaming from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, starting around 8 p. m. on Aug. 11 and continuing through sunrise on Aug. 12.12. What can we learn about the Perseids Meteor Shower?A. It will be the best meteor shower in history.B. The ultimate shower only happens on this Wednesday.C. We can observe 50- 100 meteors per hour in any place.D. The Meteors usually have long and bright trails behind them.13. Which of the following may be the best time to view the shower?A. At 4 a. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.B. At 2 p. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.C. At sunrise on the Southern Hemisphere.D. At dawn on the Southern Hemisphere.14. What can be inferred about the observation of Meteors?A. If you use a telescope, you will see more meteors.B. You can use smartphones to record the grand scene.C. The brighter the moon is, the more meteors you can see. .D. Bright lights will reduce the visibility of meteors.15. If you are not available to watch the Perseids personally, you can ________.A. browse the unofficial website of NASAB. watch a video recorded by a flight centerC. stream a live show on Aug. 11 nightD. use special devices to connect with the shower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。

There are now well over 1,000 colleges and universities that don’t require SAT or ACT scores in deciding whom to admit, a number that is growing every year. 61 new study finds that scores on these tests are of little value in predicting students’ performance in college, and 62 (raise) the question: Should those tests be required at all?When a college considers test-optional admissions policies, the first 63 (react) people feel is that the college will admit less 64 (qualify) students. Actually, more students from diverse backgrounds 65 (admit) to colleges abolishing test scores and students graduate at a higher rate. 66 , some researchers question the impact the policies have had 67 schools. They argue that 68 the study is showing can’t prove test scores can be an obstacle for students. But two years’ worth of data clearly indicate that students who go into university with high test scores perform no better than 69 (they) fellow students. So the70 (add) value of test scores in predicting performance is minimal.If a college wants to do a better job serving traditionally under-served populations, test optional policies can provide a very useful tool. 第二节(共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分)61.
