2019届高考英语全真模拟密押卷(五)1、In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, toFairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun.All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.Dad was a Railway Express agent and Morn was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did!I had a tour of the prison before Morn rescued me. I hadn't turned 5 yet.As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹)heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.1.What can be inferred about the author's family?A.His father was a cruel man.B.His parents didn't love him.C.His parents used to be very busy.D.His mother didn't have any jobs.2.What happened when the author was 4?A.He learned to smoke.B.He was locked in a basement.C.He was arrested by the police.D.He nearly caused a fire accident.3.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.B.The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.C.Leonhard often visited the author's family after 1950.D.The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.4.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A.To look back on his childhood with adventures.B.To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.C.To express how much he misses Leonhard.D.To show off his pride in making trouble.2、That robots, automation, and software can replace people might seem obvious to anyone who’s worked in automotive manufacturing. But MIT business scholars Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfe e’s claim is more troubling and controversial. They believe that rapid technological change has been destroying jobs faster than it is creating them.They believe that technology increases productivity and makes societies wealthier, but it became clear to them that the same technologies making many jobs safer, easier, and more productive were also reducing the demand for many types of human workers. Technologies like the Web, artificial intelligence, and big data are automating many routine tasks. Countless traditional white-collar jobs, such as many in the post office and in customer service, have disappeared.As evidence, Brynjolfsson and McAfee point to a chart on which separate lines represent productivity and total employment in the United States. For years after World War II, the two lines closely tracked each other, with increases in jobs corresponding to increases in productivity. Then, beginning in 2000, the lines diverge; productivity continues to rise steadily, but employment suddenly shrinks. By 2011, a significant gap appears between the two lines, showing economic growth with no parallel increase in job creation.United States Productivity and EmploymentBut are these new technologies really responsible for a decade of lackluster (无生气) job growth? David Autor, an economist at MIT who has studied the connections between jobs and technology, doubts that technology could account for such a sudden change in total employment. Moreover, he also doubts that productivity has, in fact, risen steadily in the United States in the past decade. If he’s right, it raises the possibility that poor job growth could be simply a result of a depressed economy. The sudden slowdown in job creation “is a big puzzle,” he says, “but there’s not a lot of evidence tha t it’s linked to computers.” “To be sure, computer technologies are changing the types of jobs available, but that is very different from saying technology is affecting the total number of jobs,” he adds. “Jobs can change a lot without there being huge cha nges in employment rates.”Lawrence Katz, a Harvard economist, says that while technological changes can be painful for workers whose skills no longer match the needs of employers, no historical pattern shows these shifts leading to a net decrease in jobs over an extended period. Still, Katz doesn’t dismiss the notion that there is something different about today’s digital technologies. Though he expects the historical pattern to hold, it is “genuinely a question,” he says. “If technology disrupts enough, w ho knows what will happen?”1.Which period on the chart strongly supports McAfee’s claim?A.1947—1967.B.1985—1987.C.1997—2000.D.2011—2013.2.According to David Autor, the change in job growth ________.A.is not necessarily caused by technologyB.results from a weakening economyC.has no connection with productivityD.affects the current types of jobs3.What is Lawrence Katz’s attitude towards the topic?A.Optimistic.B.Defensive.C.Objective.D.Disapproving.4.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A.show the relation between productivity and job creationB.discuss the effect of technological advances on employmentC.argue against the wide use of artificial intelligenceD.explain the impact of technologies on productivity3、Over seven months have passed since Panamanian officials launched an expansion of the world famous Panama Canal. Officials agreed to the expansion so that many of the world’s largest cargo ships (货船) could easily pass through the canal. Yet the $ 5.25-billion project has problems. It says ships still continue to rub against the canal’s walls and wear out its defenses designed to protect both shipping and the waterway.A dangerous systemThe canal links two oceans-the Atlantic and the Pacific-through a system of locks (船闸). The locks are like steps. They raise and lower ships from one part of the waterway to another on their trip from ocean to ocean.With the old locks, which are still in use, large ships would be tied to powerful engines on both sides. These engines help to keep the ships in the center of the canal. In the new locks, the ships are tied to tugboats (拖船). One tugboat is tied to the front of the ship, with the other tied to the back. These boats then guide the ships through the canal.At first, pilots of the cargo ships and tugboat operators would sometimes try to rub the boats against the canal walls as a way to keep the ships straight. But this caused damage to rubber padding (垫料) lining the walls.Not enough trainingEven before the expanded canal opened in June 2016, tugboat operators had expressed concern about the new system. Many asked for more training. The fears and dangers remain, although the boats are going through.The Panama Canal Authority reports that, between June 2016 and January 2017, there were only 15 incidents that resulted in damage to locks or ships. That represents about 2 percent of the 700 times ships that have sailed through the expanded canal.Pilots have argued they should be replaced with a system of floating bumpers (减震) like those used in some European locks. Officials say they plan to continue operating with the current system of defenses, but changes could happen in the future.1.What is the difference between the new locks and the old ones?A.The old locks don’t need rubber padding as defenses.B.The new locks need tugboats tied to both sides of the ships.C.The new locks are easier for the largest ships to pass through the canal.D.The old locks need powerful engines to drag the ships through the canal.2.W hat is the Panama Canal Authority’s attitude towards the expanded canal?A.Cautious.B.Critical.C.Positive.D.Doubtful.3.What can we learn about the current system of defenses?A.No ships shall rub against the canal walls to protect it.B.Nothing will be done at present to improve it.C.More training will be given to pilots for it.D.A new system will replace it.4、Two of the saddest words in the English language are " if only". I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right. " I always try to live by the "extra minute" rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an ”if only" moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding(衬垫) onto the sharp comers of a glass coffee table.I don’t only avoid those " if only" moments when it comes to safety. It‘s equally important to avoid " if only" in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say " I love you“ or " I forgive you". When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be there. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him.I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say " if only" about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy sched ule to make a personal connection, I know that I'm doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.1.Which of the following is an example of the "extra minute" rule?A.Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B.Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C.Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D.Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.2.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to .A.keep her appointment with the eye doctorB.meet her father who was already an old manC.join in the holiday celebration of the companyD.finish her work before the deadline approached3.The underlined word "foregone" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to" " .A.abandonedckedC.avoidedD.cherished4.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Emotional Well-beingB.The Two Saddest WordsC.The Most Useful RuleD.The Peace of Mind5、Why you shouldn’t punish your kids for l yingGetting your children to stop lying is challenging. There are many influences (TV, movies, video games and some great books) in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others, if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, or to lessen fears. ①__________ The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishment. ②__________ Here are three better tools supported by research to use instead.PRAISE: You could ask your child to say something that happened at school that is true. When your child obeys, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific: ③__________ and give your child a hug or a high five. Aim for one or two interactions (互动) like this a day. If you happen to “catch” your child in a lie, say something like, “T hat is not true and could get you in trouble outside of the home.”MODEL: Explicitly tell the truth. This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true that day. Again, give a little praise to the child who normally lies if she plays along.DECREASE PUNISHMENT AND MORALIZING: They are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. ④__________ Rather, use very mild punishment (light scolding, short loss of privilege, a brieftime-out). More severe punishments (shouting, taking away something for a week, hitting) are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying.⑤__________ Usually they can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed, but with the right encouragement, k can be dramatically lessened.A. It is not what that is, but about practice.B. As ways of changing behavior, these are ineffective.C. That does not mean ignoring, lying or letting it go.D. “That was great! You told me what happened just like I asked. Wow!”E. Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are.F. “You did a good job, but what you said was not what I’d like to know!”G. Parents do this out of love, but for some children, lying can become a problem.6、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

B.Tour B.C.Tour C. D.Tour D.BOn a cool morning,Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya.His calmness makes it easy to forget that he’s tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world.Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti,who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish,but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life.Born into a traditional Maasai family,he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife.Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going.During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school,he learned how to tell the paw prints(爪印) of a lion from those of other animals.Growing up,Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprisemeetings with dangerous animals.For many Maasai,tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection.But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them.He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path,searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.Each year,thousands of tourists crowd Kenya’s national parks to try to have a look at the “big five”;elephants,rhinoceros,leopards,buffaloes and lions.The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife.If Kenya’s wildlife disappears,so does its second-largest source of income.Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专门地) for animals.But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas.They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle.But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.24.How did Kasaine track lions?A.By working together with tourists.B.By running after them all the time.C.By going to school every day.D.By studying their paw prints.25.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Maasai people are born animal lovers.B.Tourism is a big threat to Kenya’s wildlife.C.Kenya benefits a lot from its wildlife protection.D.Small animals are not included in their protection policy.26.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Kenya’s economic development.B.People’s leaving their original homes.C.Kenya’s second-largest income source.D.Kenyan people’s traditional Maasai lifestyle.27.What is the best title for the text?A.Wildlife Protection in KenyaB.Meeting a Dangerous AnimalC.Wilson Kasaine’s Wise ChoiceD.Learning to Live with LionsCTight-lipped elders used to say,“It’s not what you want in this world,but what you get.”Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house,and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living.If we intend to have friends to dinner,we plan the menu,make a shopping list,decide which food to cook first,and such planning is essential for any type of meal to be served.Likewise,if you want to find a job,take a sheet of paper,and write a brief account of yourself.In making a blueprint for a job,begin with yourself,for when you know exactly what you have to offer,you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life and should include education,experience and references.Such an account is valuable.It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews.While talking to you,your could-be employer is deciding whether your education,your experience,and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires,you have something tangible to sell.Then you are ready to hunt for a job.Get all the possible information about your could-be job.Make inquiries as to the details concerning the job and the firm.Keep your eyes and ears open,and use your own judgement.Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for,and keep in mind:Obtaining a job is your job now.28.What do the elders mean when they say,“It’s not what you want in this world,but what you get”?A.You’ll certainly get what you want.B.It’s no use dreaming.C.You should be dissatisfied with what you have.D.It’s essential to set a goal for yourself.29.A blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as . A.an illustration of how to write an application for a jobB.an indication of how to secure a good jobC.a guideline for job descriptionD.a principle for job evaluation30.According to the passage,one must write an account of himself before starting to find a job because .A.that is the first step to please the employerB.that is the requirement of the employerC.it enables him to know when to sell his servicesD.it forces him to become clearly aware of himself31.When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires,you have something .A.specific to offer B.imaginary to provideC.practical to supply D.desirable to presentDWhen asked how technology might improve the lives of people with vision impairments(视力障碍),Joann Becker presented a misleadingly simple challenge.“Well,” the vision impairments tech specialist recalls saying,“I’d like to be able to find my bus stop through Be My Eyes”.Be My Eyes,which went live in 2015,establishes a direct video connection between visually impaired users and sighted volunteers.The assumption is simple:Many people who are blind don’t need any actual assistance in completing their daily tasks,but merely need a little help.A sighted volunteer might be asked to help identify which of two cans contains tomatoes.In this case,the visually impaired user can cook a meal just fine on his/her own—all he/she needs is a quick confirmation that he/she has the correct can.The model appears to be working; more than 540,000 volunteers and nearly 40,000 people with low vision are registered on the app.“An elderly woman can now help a visually impaired technician set up his computer,” says founder,Hans Wiberg,who has very low vision.“She doesn’t need to know a thing about computers.She only needs to read what is presented on the screen.Then he can do the rest.”Early assistive technology centered on dedicated devices(专用设备),because of the nichemarket(缝隙市场),which sold for hundreds or even thousands of dollars.But the smartphone,multipurpose and near-universal,has completely changed the economy of scale.“There are larger market forces driving high-powered computation,high-quality engineering and high-quality battery management in the smartphone market than those in a specialty product,” says Aaron Steinfeld,a research professor at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.“The reality is,most sighted people don’t know somebody who is blind.”Becker says.“They think the solutions that a blind person needs are far more expansive,it turns out,they need to be.I think these apps are enabling sighted people to see that blind people just need some simple clues to help them do any number of things in their lives.”32.What is the first paragraph used for in the text?A.Showing the main idea.B.Introducing the topic.C.Giving one example.D.Making a conclusion.33.How does the app Be My Eyes work?A.By creating a video link between blind person and sighted one.B.By recognizing which of the two cans have tomatoes and cooking.C.By establishing a high-quality engineering and computation.D.By flashing the everyday tasks of the technician and volunteers.34.From the text we can know .A.only people with low vision are registered to use the appB.slight assistance can help the blind free from some troublesC.volunteers should be very familiar with high-tech computersD.Joann Becker thinks it hard to find a bus stop using Be My Eyes35.What do the 5th and 6th paragraphs mainly mean?A.Smartphone market has great economic potential.B.The smartphone becomes a special app.C.Fine devices have changed the economy.D.Cost matters when it comes to assistive technology.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。

The very private Ms. Lee had never followed up her highly praised first book, with a second novel. Instead, she’s following it up with a fi rst novel. Confused? So was I! Allow me to explain.Go Set a Watchman, was actually written before that classic volume. In the mid-1950s, Lee had completed Watchman, which features Scout Finch as a young woman from Alabama living in New York. The story follows Scout as she returns to visit her father, Atticus, the lawyer who fought racial injustice in Mockingbird.But as Lee herself put it in a recent announcement through her publisher, “my editor, who was taken by the flashback (倒叙) to Scout’s childhood, p ersuaded me to write a novel from the point of view of the young Scout. I was a first-time writer, so I did as I was told.” That book was, of course, To Kill a Mockingbird, and after it was released to great praise, Lee never returned to Go Set a Watchman. In fact, that earlier work was considered lost until Lee’s lawyer found a manuscript (手稿) of it.“After much thought and hesitation I considered it worthy of publication.” said Lee. “I am amazed that this will now be published after all these years.” So the book that gave birth to To Kill a Mockingbird will now serve as its sequel (续集).It’s safe to say that, decades after the publication of Mockingbird, millions of readers who were so touched by Ms. Lee’s second novel will be counting the days until the release of her first one.1.When was Mockingbird published according to the text?A. In 1950.B. In 1960.C. In 1970.D. In 1980.2.What can we know about the book of Watchman?A. Atticus found a manuscript of the writer.B. Atticus was a lawyer fighting racial injustice.C. Scout Finch got to Alabama to see Atticus.D. Scout Finch lost one of Atticus’ manuscripts.3.What does “the book” in the fourth paragraph refer to in the writer’s opinion?A. To Kill a Mockingbird.B. Go Set a Watchman.C. The classic volume.D. Ms. Lee’s second novel.4.The text mainly talks about .A. why Ms. Lee’s first novel will become her second oneB. how Ms. Lee’s first novel differs from her second oneC. when Go Set a Watchman was actually writtenD. what Ms. Lee’s two great novels really deal withSYS20190611070详细信息2. 难度:中等What does Thanksgiving mean to you? I hear one boy say, “It means a big dinner.” I think we all agree with him. Who does not welcome and enjoy a good dinner! I hear Mary say, “Thanksgiving means a day off from school.” I guess you are right too. School is not such a charming place that girls and boys are unwilling to have an occasional holiday.Now I am going to ask some of the older people what the day means to them. There is a young woman. She is a stenographer (速记员). She says, “Thanksgiving means a day away from the office. I am at the office every day except Sunday, and I do appreciate, now and then, a day that is really my own.” Yonder is a traveling salesman. What does Thanksgiving mean to you? He says, “It means a day at home. Last year I spent one hundred and sixty-nine nights away from home. I have three children. I should like to see them every day. There are times when many days pass and I do not see them. Thanksgiving week I plan to be at home.”There are others I could ask. Each has his answer. But Thanksgiving has a special meaning for us. It is the Harvest time. I have here an apple. Isn’t this a beautiful apple? What color! Who mixed the paints, who handled the brush to give such color to this apple? God. He, in his infinite love and wisdom, has provided, through the unfailing laws of nature, for the growth, sweetness, coloring and beautifying of all the products of the fields. This apple is but one of many kinds of fruits.Praise, then, is the great meaning of Thanksgiving. God, our heavenly Father, sends us every good gift. From his generous hand come our daily and nightly mercies. We should praise him every day. But the day for the united chorus of praise is Thanksgiving.1.The first two paragraphs want to tell us .A. people have different ways to celebrate ThanksgivingB. Thanksgiving has a different meaning for different peopleC. how people celebrate their ThanksgivingD. what Thanksgiving really means to most people2.If the writer continued to ask an orphan what Thanksgiving means to him, he would most probably say, “It means ”.A. a longer holiday at homeB. a delicious dinner with his friendsC. a beautiful song from a famous singerD. a good day together with his parents3.In the writer’s opinion, on Thanksgiving everyone shouldfeel .A. grateful for what they haveB. satisfied with what God gave usC. amazed at how perfect an apple isD. excited about how differently Thanksgiving meansSYS20190611070详细信息3. 难度:困难In addition to being a financial success, Disneyland was a personal satisfaction to his founder Walt Disney. It expressed his ideas ofall that is true and good and beautiful in this world. He never was tired of visiting the park himself, of expanding it and improving it. Even today, Disneyland is kept spotless. Every night, each street and walkway is washed, and workers with knives get down on their hands and knees to scrape (刮,擦) up chewing gum that has been dropped by visitors. (Visitors to the park are called “guests” never “customers”) Every year, some 800,000 plants are replaced because Disney refused to put up signs asking his “guests” not to step on them. All of this has reduced the profits, but it adds immeasurably to the attraction of the park. Undoubtedly it helps explain why an amazing fifty percent of the people who enter Disneyland’s gates have been there before.The park’s general design contributes to the visitor’s pleasure. There are plenty of shade trees, much grass, and lots of cool waterin ponds and lakes and rivers—all man-made. The park is divided into five sections. In one section, the visitor walks along an American Main Street as Disney remembered from his childhood. Another section (Tomorrow land) shows the world of the future. A third, Adventure land, satisfies the universal love of exploration. Still another, Fantasyland, takes the visitor into the dreamlike worlds made famous by Disney films. Finally there is Frontier land, which represents the Old west. It is possible, in a single day, to visit in imagination every continent and almost every historical period. There is something for every group.Most of what has been said about Disneyland is also true of Walt Disney World. This is a second huge amusement park outside of Orlando, Florida, designed to thrill east-coast visitors as Disneyland has thrilled those in the west. Millions of children and adults have visited its Main Street, Magic Kingdom, and otherunforgettable attractions.1.From the 1st paragraph we learn that .A.

【全国卷】2019届高考英语全真模拟密押卷(五)(含解析)
2019届高考英语全真模拟密押卷(五)1、In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun.All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.Dad was a Railway Express agent and Morn was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Morn rescued me. I hadn't turned 5 yet.As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹)heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.1.What can be inferred about the author's family?A.His father was a cruel man.B.His parents didn't love him.C.His parents used to be very busy.D.His mother didn't have any jobs.2.What happened when the author was 4?A.He learned to smoke.B.He was locked in a basement.C.He was arrested by the police.D.He nearly caused a fire accident.3.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.B.The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.C.Leonhard often visited the author's family after 1950.D.The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.4.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A.To look back on his childhood with adventures.B.To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.C.To express how much he misses Leonhard.D.To show off his pride in making trouble.2、That robots, automation, and software can replace people migh t seem obvious to anyone who’s worked in automotive manufacturing. But MIT business scholars Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee’s claim is more troubling and controversial. They believe that rapid technological change has been destroying jobs faster than it is creating them.They believe that technology increases productivity and makes societies wealthier, but it became clear to them that the same technologies making many jobs safer, easier, and more productive were also reducing the demand for many types of human workers. Technologies like the Web, artificial intelligence, and big data are automating many routine tasks. Countless traditional white-collar jobs, such as many in the post office and in customer service, have disappeared.As evidence, Brynjolfsson and McAfee point to a chart on which separate lines represent productivity and total employment in the United States. For years after World War II, the two lines closely tracked each other, with increases in jobs corresponding to increases in productivity. Then, beginning in 2000, the lines diverge; productivity continues to rise steadily, but employment suddenly shrinks. By 2011, a significant gap appears between the two lines, showing economic growth with no parallel increase in job creation.United States Productivity and EmploymentBut are these new technologies really responsible for a decade of lackluster (无生气) job growth? David Autor, an economist at MIT who has studied the connections between jobs and technology, doubts that technology could account for such a sudden change in total employment. Moreover, he also doubts that productivity has, in fact, risen steadily in the United States in the past decade. If he’s right, it raises the possibility that poor job growth could be simply a result of a depressed economy. The sudden slowdown in job creation “is a big puzzle,” he says, “but there’s not a lot of evidence that it’s linked to computers.” “To be sure, computer technologies are changing the types of jobs available, but that is very differ ent from saying technology is affecting the total number of jobs,” he adds. “Jobs can change a lot without there being huge changes in employment rates.”Lawrence Katz, a Harvard economist, says that while technological changes can be painful for workers whose skills no longer match the needs of employers, no historical pattern shows these shifts leading to a net decrease in jobs over an extended period. Still, Katz doesn’t dismiss the notion that there is something different about today’s digital technolog ies. Though he expects the historical pattern to hold, it is “genuinely a question,” he says. “If technology disrupts enough, who knows what will happen?”1.Which period on the chart strongly supports McAfee’s claim?A.1947—1967.B.1985—1987.C.1997—2000.D.2011—2013.2.According to David Autor, the change in job growth ________.A.is not necessarily caused by technologyB.results from a weakening economyC.has no connection with productivityD.affects the current types of jobs3.What is Lawrence Katz’s att itude towards the topic?A.Optimistic.B.Defensive.C.Objective.D.Disapproving.4.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A.show the relation between productivity and job creationB.discuss the effect of technological advances on employmentC.argue against the wide use of artificial intelligenceD.explain the impact of technologies on productivity3、Over seven months have passed since Panamanian officials launched an expansion of the world famous Panama Canal. Officials agreed to the expansion so that many of the world’s largest cargo ships (货船) could easily pass through the canal. Yet the $ 5.25-billion project has problems. It says ships still continue to rub against the canal’s walls and wear out its defenses designed to protect both shipping and the waterway.A dangerous systemThe canal links two oceans-the Atlantic and the Pacific-through a system of locks (船闸). The locks are like steps. They raise and lower ships from one part of the waterway to another on their trip from ocean to ocean.With the old locks, which are still in use, large ships would be tied to powerful engines on both sides. These engines help to keep the ships in the center of the canal. In the new locks, the ships are tied to tugboats (拖船). One tugboat is tied to the front of the ship, with the other tied to the back. These boats then guide the ships through the canal.At first, pilots of the cargo ships and tugboat operators would sometimes try to rub the boats against the canal walls as a way to keep the ships straight. But this caused damage to rubber padding (垫料) lining the walls.Not enough trainingEven before the expanded canal opened in June 2016, tugboat operators had expressed concern about the new system. Many asked for more training. The fears and dangers remain, although the boats are going through.The Panama Canal Authority reports that, between June 2016 and January 2017, there were only 15 incidents that resulted in damage to locks or ships. That represents about 2 percent of the 700 times ships that have sailed through the expanded canal.Pilots have argued they should be replaced with a system of floating bumpers (减震) like those used in some European locks. Officials say they plan to continue operating with the current system of defenses, but changes could happen in the future.1.What is the difference between the new locks and the old ones?A.The old locks don’t need rubber padding as defenses.B.The new locks need tugboats tied to both sides of the ships.C.The new locks are easier for the largest ships to pass through the canal.D.The old locks need powerful engines to drag the ships through the canal.2.What is the Panama Canal Authority’s attitude towards the expanded canal?A.Cautious.B.Critical.C.Positive.D.Doubtful.3.What can we learn about the current system of defenses?A.No ships shall rub against the canal walls to protect it.B.Nothing will be done at present to improve it.C.More training will be given to pilots for it.D.A new system will replace it.4、Two of the saddest words in the English language are " if only". I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “T ake the extra minute to do it right. " I always try to live by the "extra minute" rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an ”if only" moment, whether it was something minor like movi ng a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding(衬垫) onto the sharp comers of a glass coffee table.I don’t only avoid those " if only" moments when it comes to safety. It‘s equally important to avoid " if only" in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say " I love you“ or " I forgive you". When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be there. Butthen I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him.I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say " if only" about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I'm doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kin d of insurance for my emotional well-being.1.Which of the following is an example of the "extra minute" rule?A.Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B.Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C.Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D.Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.2.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to .A.keep her appointment with the eye doctorB.meet her father who was already an old manC.join in the holiday celebration of the companyD.finish her work before the deadline approached3.The underlined word "foregone" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to" " .A.abandonedckedC.avoidedD.cherished4.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Emotional Well-beingB.The Two Saddest WordsC.The Most Useful RuleD.The Peace of Mind5、Why you shouldn’t punish your kids for lyingGetting your children to stop lying is challenging. There are many influences (TV, movies, video games and some great books) in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others, if only to be polite. Most parents addto that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, or to lessen fears. ①__________ The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishment. ②__________ Here are three better tools supported by research to use instead.PRAISE: You could ask your child to say something that happened at school that is true. When your child obeys, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific: ③__________ and give your child a hug or a high five. Aim for one or two interactions (互动) like this a day. If you happen to “catch” your child in a lie, say something like, “That is not true and could get you in trouble outs ide of the home.”MODEL: Explicitly tell the truth. This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true that day. Again, give a little praise to the child who normally lies if she plays along.DECREASE PUNISHMENT AND MORALIZING: They are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. ④__________ Rather, use very mild punishment (light scolding, short loss of privilege, a brief time-out). More severe punishments (shouting, taking away something for a week, hitting) are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying.⑤__________ Usually they can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed, but with the right encouragement, k can be dramatically lessened.A. It is not what that is, but about practice.B. As ways of changing behavior, these are ineffective.C. That does not mean ignoring, lying or letting it go.D. “That was great! You told me what happened just like I asked. Wow!”E. Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are.F. “You did a good job, but what you said was not what I’d like to know!”G. Parents do this out of love, but for some children, lying can become a problem.6、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
