ASWITZERLAND TRIP PLANNINGBest Time to GoLike any other country, you can visit Switzerland at any time of the year and have a fantastic time. However, there’s always a ‘best’ time for what you want to do there so it is always worth checking the seasons. It all depends on what your planned activities are. If you are intending to ski and snowboard, best to go when the snow is at its peak time. Activity in Switzerland can be broken down into three tourist seasons: Low Season (Oct. —Mar.), Mid Season! Apr. —Jun. & Sep.) and High Season (Jul., Aug. & Dec. —Apr. / In this season, everything is open and busy, and watch your budget).Rough BudgetSwitzerland is an expensive country to travel around but it is possible to travel here for approximately $ 70—100 per day if you stay in hostels, cook most of your meals and use local transport only when necessary.

Where is this article most probably from?A. A geography book about Switzerland.B. An English textbook.C. A composition on Switzerland.D. A travel brochure.BAunt Fannie was Blueberry Jam Woman. Of course she wasn’t really my aunt, and. out of fear, I never called that to her face. The name always made my father chuckle (轻笑) and my mother look sternly (严厉地) at both of us—at me for being disrespectful, and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions, so I looked for every opportunity to work for the name into conversation.As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farm house owned by Fannie Cratty. Fannie was the last of the Cratty line; she had never married, and had no living heirs (继承人). My father once told me that it was because she was too mean to share her family wealth or pass it on. Aunt Fannie was noted for her jam, and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul. Even though my mother knew it by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Miss Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam-making process. Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter and then made me promise I would never spend it. “Hold onto this quarter,” she said, “and some day you will be rich. I still have my first very quarter.” It had obviously worked for her, so I put that 1938 quarter in a small box. put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich.I now have the blueberry-jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but I keep them to remind myself to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is your relationships, and your memories of time spent with friends and family, that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.24. Where did the “fear” mentioned in the first paragraph come from?A. That year’s blueberry harvest had been poor.B. Aunt Fannie was too old to keep making jam.C. The author’s mother couldn’t help Aunt Fannie harvest the blueberries.D. The author knew it was impolite to call Aunt Fannie Blueberry Jam Woman.25. From the second paragraph we learn that ________.A. Aunt Fannie had no childrenB. Aunt Fannie was willing to share her recipeC. the author often helped Aunt Fannie make jamD. the author’s mother always made the jam alone26. What did the author’s mother feel towards Aunt Fannie?A. Disgusted.B. Surprised.C. Affectionate.D. Disappointed.27. What does the author try to tell us?A. To make new friends easily.B. Not to put a price on generosity.C. Not to think of kindness as a burden.D. To treasure the time spent with family and friends.CLizard (蜥蜴) species may already have declined past the point of no return in the world. What is the reason? Rising temperatures. Researchers estimate that as much as 40 percent of lizard species worldwide will die out by 2080. The problem is that temperatures in many regions where lizards live have changed too fast for the animals to keep pace.Barry Sinervo from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California in Santa Cruz, along with colleagues from across the globe, reached that conclusion by taking current data on Mexican lizards. They also estimated that 4 percent of local species have already disappeared worldwide. That number could jump to 20 percent by 2080 if carbon dioxide levels aren’t lowered to reduce warming.The team looked 48 species of Sceloporus lizard at 200 sites around Mexico. The sites were first sampled from 1975 to 1995. By 2010, research could not find lizards at 12 percent of those sites.Lizards that bear live young are especially at risk of dying out, the researchers point out, compared to that lay eggs. “Live-bearers have lower body temperatures that heighten the risk of dying,” Sinervo said in a statement. We are watching these species disappear before our eyes.”Although current evidence shows that climate change is affecting the habitat ranges of many species, there is still a lot of uncertainty about how much climate change will affect species, researchers say.Many Mexican lizard species live in high altitude “islands”, where climate change happens the fastest. The lizards cannot adjust fast enough to survive. The scientists say they do not think the animals are likely to save themselves just by moving somewhere else v either.“How quickly can Earth’s lizards adapt to the rising global temperatures? That’s the important question,” Sinervo said in a press release. "We are actually seeing lowland species moving upward, slowly driving upland species out of their habitats. If the upland species can’t evolve fast enough, they will die out.”28. Which of the following lizards face a higher risk of dying out?A. Lizards at low altitudes.B. Lizards that bear their young.C. Lizards that lay eggs.D. Lizards in a stable environment.29. According to Barry Sinervo and his colleagues, ________.A. their conclusion is based on current data on various kinds of lizardsB. 20 percent of local species have already disappeared worldwideC. they are uncertain about how much climate change will affect speciesD. they are seeing highland species moving downward30. The upland lizards are affected greatly by the climate change because of ________.A. their living habitats’ destructionB. their living skillsC. highland species moving downwardD. their adaptive capacity31. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. prove that earth is not suitable for lizardsB. warn that lizards may die out quickly due to the climate changeC. explain why no more lizards will be found by 2080D. emphasize that the habitat of lizards is changing greatlyDWe are always being told by the department of Health to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. But it’s not clear where the evidence for this comes from, and a large study by the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) two years ago of the dietary intake of more than 400,000 people found only a weak link between eating fruit and vegetables and a reduction in overall cancer risk. There is no evidence it reduces breast cancer.Even so, how could anyone argue against eating more fruit and vegetables? Well, it depends on what fruit you are eating. A review article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal warns that a chemical in grapefruit (葡萄柚) can interact lethally with certain medicines. Even apple juice, the staple (主食) of many breakfast tables, may prevent our absorption of some drugs. Parents also often think fruit juice is a healthy alternative to fizzy (起泡的) drinks, but juices contain sugar and calories too— as much as a glass of Coke—so should be drunk in moderation.Grapefruit has also been linked to an increase in breast cancer. A study in the British Journal of Cancer (BJC) of 500,000 women found that eating a quarter of the fruit a day increased the risk by 30%.The solution?There is one good reason for not eating grapefruit—it tastes sour. But it is unlikely to increase your risk of getting breast cancer; further research by the BJC showed no increase in rates of breast cancer for women who tuck into (猛吃) grapefruit or drink juice.Grapefruit contains a type of chemical called furanocoumarin, which prevents the breakdown of some prescription drugs. As a result concentration of these drugs rise, and can have serious side-effects, including kidney (肾) damage, heart blockage, and deep-vein thrombosis (血栓).Patient information leaflets should tell you what foods to avoid with which drugs. If in doubt, ask your doctor. So you don’t need to eat less fruit, and many still need to eat more. Another paper from the EPIC study found a 225 reduction in deaths from heart attacks in people who ate eight portions of fruit and vegetables a day compared to those who ate three or fewer. The way the study was designed, however, means that it can only suggest a link—it can’t prove one.32. What can we infer from the passage?A. Everyone should eat more grapefruit.B. People should cat fruit selectively.C. Parents should have their children drink more fruit juice.D. Eating fruit and vegetables has been proven to reduce overall cancer risk.33. What docs the underlined word “lethally” probably mean?A. Closely.B. Wrongly.C. Dangerously.D. Quickly?34. What do we learn about grapefruit?A. It increases the risk of heart blockage.B. It reduces deaths from heart attacks.C. It reduces absorption of some drugs.D. It causes increases of breast cancer in women.35. Which of the following questions does the author mainly answer?A. What is grapefruit?B. Should people eat less fruit?C. How can one reduce the risk of getting breast cancer?D. What should patient information leaflets tell people?第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

But it’s not clear where the evidence for this comes from, and a large study by the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) two years ago of the dietary intake of more than 400,000 people found only a weak link between eating fruit and vegetables and a reduction in overall cancer risk. There is no evidence it reduces breast cancer.Even so, how could anyone argue against eating more fruit and vegetables? Well, it depends on what fruit you are eating. A review article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal warns that a chemical in grapefruit (葡萄柚) can interact lethally with certain medicines. Even apple juice, the staple (主食) of many breakfast tables, may prevent our absorption of some drugs. Parents also often think fruit juice is a healthy alternative to fizzy (起泡的) drinks, but juices contain sugar and calories too—as much as a glass of Coke—so should be drunk in moderation.Grapefruit has also been linked to an increase in breast cancer. A study in the BritishJournal of Cancer (BJC) of 500,000 women found that eating a quarter of the fruit a day increased the risk by 30%.The solution?There is one good reason for not eating grapefruit—it tastes sour. But it is unlikely to increase your risk of getting breast cancer; further research by the BJC showed no increase in rates of breast cancer for women who tuck into (猛吃) grapefruit or drink juice.Grapefruit contains a type of chemical called furanocoumarin, which prevents the breakdown of some prescription drugs. As a result concentration of these drugs rise, and can have serious side-effects, including kidney (肾) damage, heart blockage, and deep-vein thrombosis (血栓).Patient information leaflets should tell you what foods to avoid with which drugs. If in doubt, ask your doctor. So you don’t need to eat less fruit, and many still need to eat more. Another paper from the EPIC study found a 225 reduction in deaths from heart attacks in people who ate eight portions of fruit and vegetables a day compared to those who ate three or fewer. The way the study was designed, however, means that it can only suggest a link—it can’t prove one.32. What can we infer from the passage?A. Everyone should eat more grapefruit.B. People should cat fruit selectively.C. Parents should have their children drink more fruit juice.D. Eating fruit and vegetables has been proven to reduce overall cancer risk.33. What docs the underlined word “lethally”probably mean?A. Closely.B. Wrongly.C. Dangerously.D. Quickly?34. What do we learn about grapefruit?A. It increases the risk of heart blockage.B. It reduces deaths from heart attacks.C. It reduces absorption of some drugs.D. It causes increases of breast cancer in women.35. Which of the following questions does the author mainly answer?A. What is grapefruit?B. Should people eat less fruit?C. How can one reduce the risk of getting breast cancer?D. What should patient information leaflets tell people?第二节(共5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分12.5 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。
2020届湖南省长沙市高三雅礼集团月考试卷九 英语 word无听力试题
炎德·英才大联考雅礼中学2020届高三月考试卷(九)英语第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共10小题，每小题2分，满分20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。
AWhat is Queen Elizabeth II like in person?Answer from @ Jackie Pearcey:I once had lunch with the Queen (OK, along with about 100 other people in a large room). There’s a rule that people should stop eating when the Queen stops. She eats carefully, making sure everyone has a proper opportunity to eat. After lunch, she made a point to meet up with and thank all of the waiting staff and those who had cooked the lunch.Answer from @ Janie Keddie:I live not far from Balmoral Castle, which is the Queen’s private mansion in the Scottish Highlands. What we find is that the Queen is a polite woman who is a good neighbor and treats people kindly. She uses local suppliers; she always supports the Braemar Highland Gathering and attends the local “Kirk” (Church of Scotland). That makes her part of the local community, which is quite protective of her and respects her privacy. However, my favourite tale is this. The Royals sometimes travel about the local area with minimal fuss (最小的麻烦). She stopped her car for a picnic on a track some distance from the road. There isn’t a lot of passing traffic, but on this occasion a family of walkers came upon but didn’t recognize her. On a “day off”, she looks much the same as the other local elderly ladies in her jacket. “Goodness!” said the mother, “You look just like that lady on the stamps.” “So I’ve been told;” said the Queen with a kindly smile as she continued to sip (小口抿) tea.Answer from @ Gill Bullen:Some years ago, when Prince William was a very little boy, he had apparently been playing in Buckingham Palace, had fallen down and hurt himself, and was crying inconsolably (无法安慰地). He was immediately surrounded by concerned maids and other household staff trying to comfort him, but he didn’t want any of them, only Gary. Nobody was sure who Gary was—possibly one of the housemen?But then a voice was heard, saying, “Let me through, please. I’m Gary.” And they made way for the Queen, because “Granny” can be quite hard for a little boy to say!21.What do we know from Jackie Pearcey’s words?A. The Queen usually eats with the cook.B. No one else is allowed to eat while the Queen is eating.C. The Queen constantly has lunch with about 100 people.D. The Queen seems mindful of others and appreciative of those who work for her.22.According to Janie Keddie, Queen Elizabeth II ________.A. lives in harmony with neighborsB. is always recognized when she goes outC. buys all her daily supplies by special suppliersD. seldom takes part in the local community’ activities23.It can be inferred that the Queen ________.A. once had a secret nickname GaryB. looked after Prince William dailyC. often played a role of the housemanD. had a good relationship with her little grandsonBCal Fire captain Shawn Raley barked evacuation (疏散) orders over the radio for the neighbourhood of Sunset Terrace. The sky was red and the wind screamed, shaking the leaves off the trees. New fires lit in bushes and on roofs. A 24-year veteran of wildland fires, Raley had seen nearly everything, including swirling eddies (旋涡) of air called fire whirls. But he hadn’t seen anything like this.At around 7:15 p. m., he drove toward areas in the wooded hills. He figured that residents would need help escaping. His headlights barely pierced the smoke, but he could see three bulldozers (推土机) inch past him on two-lane Buenaventura Boulevard. Don Andrews, who was unaware of the dangers he was about to face, drove ore; contractors Terry Cummings and Jimmie Jones drove the other two. They were under electrical line, which were swaying in the wind, and Raley shouted at the men to move away.In the driveway of a house, Raley spotted a Tesla with someone in the driver’s seat. Dr. Thiruvoipati Nanda Kumar, 62, had raced eight kilometres home from Vibra Hospital of Northern California. His wife, Yasoda, 58, and daughter, Sushma, 29, hadn’t received an evacuation alert, and when the power cut out, their garage door wouldn’t open, locking their car inside.“Go back!” Raley shouted at Kumar, sounding his siren.“My wife and daughter are there. Can they come in?” Kumar said, pointing to Raley’s vehicle. He figured they’d be safest with the captain.“Come in my truck?” Raley asked. “Yes.”The women jumped into the back seat, coughing. Nearby, flames that climbed 30 metres burned their neighbours’ homes. Soon theirs would fall, as well.“I’ll lead you out,” Raley yelled to Kumar. “Take your car.”Debris (碎片) attacked the truck, cracking Raley’s windshield and breaking the other windows as the wind blew the vehicle off the road. The captain threw himself across the passenger seat, protecting his face as the fire passed over them. Yasoda and Sushma screamed.“Are you okay?” Raley shouted, though lie knew the answer. He was embarrassed. He’d told this trapped family that he would get them out safely. Now they were, covered in glass and bleeding. Behind them, the trunk of Kumar’s Tesla was a flame.24.What can we learn about Raley?A. He has never seen fire whirls before.B. He is quite experienced in dealing with wildland fires.C. He was so angry that he shouted at Don to move away from the road.D. He decided to save the Kumar’s family out of the fire in his truck immediately he saw them.25.Which of the following statements is RIGHT?A. The smoke was so heavy that Raley could hardly see the road.B. There were three persons driving bulldozers quickly on the two-lane road.C. Dr. Kumar with his wife and daughter was trapped in the car when the power cut off.D. The doctor’s house was burnt down to the group when Raley arrived.26.Why was Raley embarrassed in the last paragraph?A. Because lie was injured by the fire.B. Because his truck was blown off the road.C. Because he felt he would fail to keep his word to save the family out.D. Because he couldn’t protect the Kumar’s Tesla well.27.Which is the best title of the article?A. A Big Wildland BlazeB.A Lucky FamilyC. Come in My TruckD. I’ll Lead You OutCThough having seen such blunders many times before like “Redundancies (冗长)”, “Faulty capitalization (大写)” and “Lack of clarity (清晰) and specificity” in her 17 years of teaching English composition in Greenville’ public schools, Yvonne Mason wasn’t reading a student paper this time. She was reading a letter she received from President Donald Trump.“I have never, ever, received a letter with this many silly mistakes,” Mason said. The former Mauldin High School teacher immediately did what she had done thousands of times before. She corrected the writing, and returned it—this one going back to the White Mouse.A photo of Mason’s corrections has been widely shared on her Facebook. “When you get letters from the highest level of government, you expect them to be at least mechanically correct,” Mason said. She particularly repeated capitalizing “nation”, “federal”, “president” and “state”, turning these common nouns into proper nouns. Mason identified 11 instances of faulty capitalization in Trump’s letter, finally resisting the idea of attaching a grade to the letter. “If it had been written in middle school, I’d give it a C or C-plus,” she said. “If it had been written in high school, I’d give it a D.” Mason’s comments drew attention to redundant (多余) expressions and overuse of the pronoun “I” in Trump’s letter.Mason recognized, of course, that the form letter she received from the President was very likely written by a staff member, not Trump himself, though the letter did, include Trump’s signature. It came in reply to a letter she’d written about the school shooting on Feb. 14 in Florida.Trump’s letter doesn’t respond specifically to Mason’s earlier letter to the President. In her letter, Mason asked Trump to meet individually with the family members of the victims of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Trump’s return letter talks in general terms about school safety. “It didn’t address the letter I wrote,” Mason said.Mason, who taught English at Hughes Middle School and Mauldin High School for 17 years before retiring last year, is a devoted rhetorical (修辞) activist, writing letters, emails and faxes to state, local and federal officials often.28.The underlined word “blunders” can be replaced by ________.A. conditionsB. commentsC. compositionsD. mistakes29.What was Mason’s attitude towards the letter she received?A. Curious and content.B. Serious and dissatisfied.C. Impressed and respectful.D. Surprised and understanding.30.Mason mentioned the grades she would have given the letter to show that ________.A. she had recognized the letter was written by a studentB. Trump’s staff members’ grammar needed improvingC. middle school education should be paid more attentionD. it was really difficult to bear so many silly mistakes31.________ gave Mason the intention to write to the President earlier.A. A photo of Mason’s corrections to the letterB. Trump’s meeting with the family members of the victimsC. The school shooting in FloridaD. Trump’s talking about school safetyDIf you live in a desert, maintaining a supply of fresh water is a challenge. One answer is desalination, but that needs a source from which to get the salt away—which in turn requires that your desert be near the sea. The other is related to moisture. Even in inland deserts, though, moisture is often present in the air as water vapour (水蒸气).The problem is how to get this vapour effectively and cheaply from the desert air. And that is what two groups of researchers have managed to do.The ease with which water can be won from air depends on that air’s relative humidity. This is a measure of its current vapour content as a percentage of its maximum possible vapour content at its current temperature. A relative humidity of 100% means the air in question is holding as much water vapour as it possibly can. A good way to get air to give up some of its moisture is therefore to cool it to the point where its relative humidity is more than 100%. Sometimes this happens naturally at night, causing mist and dew to form. These can be collected in special traps in areas where liquid water is otherwise rarer. But, if night cooling does not bring air all the way up to 100% relative humidity, building water traps out of special materials might give nature a helping hand.Adsorption (吸附) is a process which pulls water molecules from air that has less than 100% relative humidity by attaching them to the surface of a solid material. The molecules are held there by electrostatic (静电的) connections called Van der Waals forces that link them with the molecules of the related surface. To collect a lot of water this way therefore requires a material that has two features. One is a large surface area. The other is an appropriate Van der Waals response. Experimental traps that employ this principle have been made using substances called metal-organic frameworks. These are porous (多孔的) molecular networks through which air can circulate. Their porosity gives them a huge surface area. And by picking the right ingredients, such as zirconium, they can be given the necessary Van der Waals features. Zirconium is, however, costly. Moreover, once absorbed, the water must then be released. This means warming the absorptive material—the warmth being provided by the sun, once it has risen. Here, metal-organic frameworks present a problem. They tend to reflect sunlight rather than absorb it, and so don’t heat up well. To overcome this, engineers build a solid device made of copper into the system. This works, but adding such devices makes an already costly technology even dearer.32.What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 1?A. The irrigation of sea water.B. The import of sea water.C. The removal of salt in sea water.D. The purification of sea water.33.Which factor can mainly affect people to get water from the air easily?A. Air quality.B. Relative humidity.C. Current vapour content.D. Current temperature.34.What can we learn from the article?A. Water drops are the major existence of moisture in the air.B. Getting vapour in the air naturally usually happens when the relative humidity is below 100%.C. The more holes a certain material has, the huger surface area it has.D. Zirconium is chosen because it’s cheap.35. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Maintaining-fresh water in the desert.B. Introducing a way to get water in the air of the desert.C. Promoting an experimental trap to get water in the air.D. Offering a way to increase adsorption in the air.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。
