shirt changes from sky blue to deep red．Tiny preprogrammed electrons are rearranged in your shirt to change its color．Looking into the mirror，you find it hard to believe that you are40．You look much younger．With amazing advances in medicine，people in your generation may live to be150years old．You are not even middle-aged．As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl，you hear："To lose weight，you shouldn't eat that，"from your shoes．They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details．You decide to listen to your shoes．"Kitchen，what can I have for breakfast？"A list of possible foods appear on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies．"Ready for your trip to space．"You ask your son and daughter．In2017only

strawberries each，you add，"The doctor said you need these for space travel．"Thanks to medical advice，vaccination shots are a thing of the past．Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines（疫苗）．With the berries in their mouths，the kids head for the front door．It's time for you to go to work．Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors．"My office，autopilot．"You command．Your car drives itself down the road and move smoothly into traffic on the highway．You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper．The latest news downloads and fills the viewer．Looking through the pages，you watch the news as video films rather than read it．1.The passage above is organized in order of______．A.frequencyB.importanceC.preferenceD.time2.______transforms the color of your clothing into another in3008．A.The

rescues wildlife has started to search for land and money to build a wildlife hospital in San Francisco．"About40volunteers care for injured animals in their homes，"the founder Jamie Ray said．Ray presented her proposal（提议）to build a﹩2million wildlife hospital and nature center toenvironment experts recently．"What we need to do is build a100-foot-long flight nest for recovering birds and have water pools for recovering water birds，"Ray said．She hopes they will be opened by the end of2018，and would be able to help care for birds affected by oil spills（溢出）in the Bay．"For any animal，whether it is oiled，injured or anything else，getting immediate care is important to its survival，"she said．Department employees drive as many as350injured animals every year to wildlife hospitals，according to Friedman．He said around80percent of those animals were birds．"It would be wonderful to have a wildlife recovery center here in San Francisco，"Friedman said．Ray's proposal includes nests as well as a nature education center and outdoor picnic area．She has suggested building the center at Lake Merced or in western Golden Gate Park．A parking lot，soccer field and storage area are presently being planned for construction at the Golden Gate Park site．Any change to those plans would need to be approved by department experts．The Board of Supervisors is also in charge of those plans．5.What may not be involved in Ray's proposal？______A.A nature education center．B.A nest．C.An outdoor picnic area．D.A soccer field．6.What do we know about oiled birds？______A.They are being cared for by volunteers．B.They are probably water birds．C.They are called oiled birds because they can produce oil．D.They are birds usually seen in San Francisco．7.What are we told in the passage？______A.There are already wildlife recovery centers in San Francisco．B.The bird and wildlife hospital in San Francisco will be built in2018．C.It is important for injured animals to get timely care．D.There are about40volunteers working in the wildlife hospital．8.It can be inferred that______．A.Ray wants to build a100-foot-long nestB.about350birds are injured every year in San FranciscoC.birds are most easily injured animals in San FranciscoD.Ray is the founder of the Board of SupervisorsCGrowers around the world are using new methods to grow grapes to make wine．They use natural and organic methods to control harmful insects and weeds instead of using chemicals．Now，a winery in Canada has adopted a natural way to control its grapevines（葡萄藤）．The Featherstone Winery is in southern Ontario．The grapevines，like other plants，need to be cut every year．Cutting grapevines must be done very carefully．Only a targeted area of leaves is removed from the lower part of the vines to help the grapes grow better．But at the Featherstone Winery，no man or machine does the cutting．Instead，the job is done by40little wooly lambs．David Johnson owns the vineyard．He says he learned about using lambs while visiting wineries in New Zealand．The young lambs are perfectly designed to do the job．They eat the grape leaves on the lower parts of the vine．But they are not tall enough to reach the grapes．They only weigh about22kilograms，so they do not beat down the soil．And their waste makes good organicfertilizer．In addition，using the lambs costs much less than hiring workers to cut the vines for seven weeks in summer．And when the cutting is done in August，the lambs become tasty dishes．Mr．Johnson says he had a difficult time finding enough lambs to do the job．There are about50 million lambs in New Zealand．But there are not nearly as many in Ontario．Also，some organic pesticides（杀虫剂）are harmful to lambs．And the lambs must be watched to make sure they do not eat too much of the grapevines．David Johnson says the lambs help him carry out his environmental ideas about farming．They are lovely and peaceful and he likes having them in his vineyard．People visiting the vineyard also enjoy watching the lambs do their job．9.In order to help the grapes grow better，growers______．A.only have to remove the dead leavesB.need to remove a specific area of leavesC.shouldn't remove any part of the plantsD.should let little lambs do the cutting10.Which of the following statements about using lambs to do the cutting is not right？______ing lambs costs more than hiring workers．mbs won't eat the grapes．C.David Johnson learned this way in New Zealand．mbs can be eaten after the cutting is done．11.Paragraph4is mainly about______．A.the future of getting lambs to do the cuttingB.the worries about using organic pesticidesC.the ways to get lambs to do the cuttingD.the problems related to lambs doing the cutting12.We can infer from the passage that David Johnson______．A.owns several wineries in CanadaB.buys lambs from New ZealandC.is concerned about protecting the circumstanceD.loves keeping lambs instead of farmingDThere is no better word than"unbelievable"to describe Indian sports film Dangal's huge box-office （票房）achievement in the Chinese mainland．Path to successDangal's box-office performance in China has gone against all market rules．While box-office earnings usually tend to decline the longer a film is screened in theaters，Dangal's box-office goes up nearly three times during its second weekend．On Wednesday，Dangal has made830.94million yuan，making it the eighth highest-earning2017film in the Chinese mainland so far．Dangal is now the second highest-earning Indian film in China．According to the statistics on Maoyan，a Chinese online film database，58.2percent of mainland moviegoers nationwide who are interested in seeing the film are women．This percentage increases to59.1percent in third-tier（三线）cities and60.2percent in fourth-tier cities．Looking at age，moviegoers between20-24account for the largest group who want to see the film nationwide at33.4 percent，followed by25-29years old at29.4percent．Secret for successWhile the secret for a good film has many ingredients，response of the audience is a key factor．Dangal，a story about a father training his daughters to become wrestling champions in a male-dominated society，has reached the heart of Chinese audiences，especially women，many of whom feel that women are often not treated equally as men．Shui Wujiao，a netizen，wrote that she was very impressed when the father pointed out that Geeta，the oldest daughter，was not only fighting for herself，but also for the millions of girls who are forced into marriages because they are less respectful than boys by society．There are similarities such as the parent-child relationship，the pressure one has to bear when growing up，as well as similar family and social values．The preference for boys over girls is still deeply rooted among many Chinese，especially in remote areas．Learning idolDangal's inspirational story has also led to many teachers and parents using the film as motivational aids．Ying Junzi，a Chinese film critic，posted that he thinks the film's motivational message is another factor that has helped Dangal achieve the box-office success．"For many Chinese parents who pay close attention to their child's education，the film has become an educational bible for encouraging their children to study even harder，"he wrote．"Chinese parents are willing to do anything for their children's education．When they hear from relatives and friends that there is a good film that can motivate their children to perform better，they will definitely rush to the theaters with their kids．It's become a family film，"Ying Junzi added．13.The passage is mainly about______．A.success of a personB.a film from IndiaC.famous people in ChinaD.money made by families14.Based on the text we can hardly conclude that______．A.it's amazing that Dangal is popular in ChinaB.there exist similarities between China and IndiaC.women in their twenties from less developed cities might be more interested in DangalD.women are often not treated equally as men only in China15.The underlined part"an educational bible"possibly refers to______．A.a religious bookB.a motivational aidC.a family filmD.an educator from schools二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）You can get a

Bang"．Then the dust settled into a solid globe which exploded violently with fire and rock and produced water vapor and many gases，making the earth's atmosphere．(1)is even more important is that as the earth cooled down，waterappeared and stayed on the surface．It was the(2)（present）of water that allowed the earth to dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas．This produced a chain

It satisfied prisoners' curiosity．B. It aroused the guards' sympathy．C. It was popular among the prisoners．D. It raised prisoners' confidence in freedom．6.What contributes to the stranger's success in finding Morgan？______A. The email from a gentleman．B. Howard's experience in the war．C. Morgan's recalling of his father．D. Morgan's status in the field of art．7.What can we infer about Morgan from the last paragraph？______A. He didn't believe the stranger's story．B. He was excited to get the comic strip．C. He couldn't wait to tell others his good news．D. He hadn't heard about his father's war stories．CYour brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you．Now，it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old．A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their real age．Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine-learning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age．To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife，Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of 869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive （认知的）testing since they were 3 years old．When the volunteers，all aged between 43 and 46，underwent MRI brain scans，the team found that their brain ages ranged from 23 to 71．Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition，memory and IQ．The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly，and vice versa （反之亦然）．However，the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were 3 years old went on to have the youngest-looking brains．This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life．Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia （痴呆）to be started sooner．This means treatments might have a better chance of working．We don't yet have a way to treat brain ageing，but given the known benefits to the brain of healthy eating and exercise，these aren't a bad place to start．8.What helps predict the speed of one's brain ageing？______A. One's health condition．B. A test result at the age of 3．C. The actual age of one's brain．D. A machine for medical check．9.What is the purpose of Elliott's research？______A. To find out why people look older or younger．B. To measure people's brain age at different stages．C. To discover whether brain age can be measured by machines．D. To explore the relationship between brain age and future health．10.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？______A. The influence of cognitive tests．B. The procedure of Elliott's study．C. The information about volunteers．D. The findings of the brain research．11.What do the findings of the research imply？______A. We should test our brain age earliest possible．B. People suffering dementia can go on working．C. Brain ageing could be predicted at an early age．D. Healthy eating and exercise can cure brain ageing．DOne of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so-called Mozart effect，which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence．Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies．And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development．He was history's greatest child genius ，performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"．So，if you have kids or you're expecting to have them，how seriously should you take the Mozart effect？Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle （摇篮）be limited to an ordinary life？Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart？Relax．There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities．The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993，which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial （空间的）skills．This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician ，Don Campbell ，in a book．Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart - based enrichment activities．In 1998 ，for example，the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical-music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state．Since then，scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it．The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999，and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible．In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development ，and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence．12.People relate Mozart to children's intelligence development because he ______ ．A. owned extraordinary music talentB. could perform music as a childC. offered music to pregnant womenD. was an royal Austrian composer13.What can we know about the small study in 1993？______A. It added to the popularity of Mozart's music．B. It found no evidence for supporting Mozart effect．C. It helped college students make academic progress．D. It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music．14.What does the underlined word "negligible" probably mean？______A. Sudden．B. Insignificant．C. Average．D. Steady．15.What can be the best title for the text？______A. New Findings：Mozart Effect to Be ProvedB. Secrets Uncovered：History of Mozart EffectC. Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter？D. How Does Mozart Improve Kids' Intelligence？二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Your comfort zone is a behavioral space where your activities and behaviors fit a routine and pattern that minimizes stress and risk．(1) You benefit in obvious ways：regular happiness，low anxiety，and reduced stress．Leaving your comfort zone can have very positive results，though．For one thing，you'll surely be more productive if you're willing to move out of it．With the sense of unease that comes from having deadlines and expectations，you'll have the drive and ambition to do more and learn new things．(2) For another，learning to live outside your comfort zone can prepare you for life changes that force you out of it．Fear and uncertainty always exist in our life．By challenging yourself to things you normally wouldn't do，you can experience some of that uncertainty in a controlled and manageable environment．While outside your comfort zone can be a good place to be，(3) ．You can start by doing everyday things differently．For example，you can take a different route to work or try a new restaurant．Besides，you should remember to break out in small steps．You get the same benefits whether you go with long strides （大步）or you start slow．If you're socially anxious，don't suppose you have to gather the courage to ask your crush （爱慕之人）on a date right away．(4) Identify your fears，and then face them step by step．Trying new things is difficult，so it's important to understand how habits form and how we can break them．(5)A．It provides a state of mental security．B．it's of great necessity to find ways to break out of itC．it's a pleasant experience to stay in the comfort zoneD．You have to manage that stress and risk in a clever way．E．Just say hello to them and see where you can go from there．F．That means you will get more done and find smarter ways to work．G．And it's as important to press yourself out of your comfort zone by doing specific things．16.

安徽省桐城中学2020届高三上学期模拟考试英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AThe following 4 famous paintings-from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's masterpiece-have stood the test of time．The Amolfini PortraitJan van Eyck's Amolfini Portrait，an oil painting on wood produced in 1434，in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her，is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery，London．This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed．It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society，through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business，wives concerned themselves with domestic duties．The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night，oil on canvas （帆布），a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village，during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint - Remy - de - Provence，France between 1889 and 1890．When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941，it was not well known，but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works．The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565．It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September．Nicolaes Jonghelinck，a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp，commissioned this painting．The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919．GuernicaGuernica，a large black-and-white oil painting，was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter，Pablo Picasso in 1937．The title 'Guernica' refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War．The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result，has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war．Today，the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid．1.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest？______A. Guernica．B. The Harvesters．C. The Starry Night．D. The Amolfini Portrait．2.Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons？______A. Pieter Bruegelthe Elder．B. Vincent van Gogh．C. Jan van Eyck．D. Pablo Picasso．3.What do we know about the painting The Starry Night？______A. It was painted on wood in oils．B. It described the painter's life in hospital．C. It wasn't widely recognized before 1941．D. It was given away to the museum by a collector．BAdventure-seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot．When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight，she became so fearful of crutches （拐杖）that she didn't move for three weeks．"I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself．So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day，" says Emma．She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run-a quarterly event that she hasn't missed since 2014．"If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year，one in each season，you get Alpha Wolf status，" explains Emma．"This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I'd lose my status．" So she was willing to try anything to get through the course-even with her injured ankle．"I was telling my friend that I was going to cancel，and he persuaded me to give it a go．Having something to aim for really kept me going．" Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2．0，which is a medically-approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg，allowing users to walk freely．I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery．I could move around the house and start getting out and about again，which had a real impact on my mental well-being．"On the day of the race，Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated．Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up her 23 rd Wolf Run in five years．" It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going，" says Emma．4.Why was Emma frightened to use a crutch？______A. She was afraid of recovering slowly．B. She was warned not to move around．C. She just had an operation on her foot．D.

Pretty cheerful．6.What actually made Emma take part in the race？______A. Her new hi-tech artificial leg．B. Her fear of letting her friend down．C. Her strong desire to achieve her ambition．D. Her complete recovery from the operation．7.Which of the following best describes Emma？______A. Strong-willed．B. Supportive．C. Creative．D. Humorous．CErik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr．Paul Gauthier，a plant physiologist specializing in vertical farming research and came away with several important ideas about vertical farming．Humans have 12，000 years of experience growing food，but only a generation or so worth ofexperience growing crops indoors．We are still progressing up the technology learning curve （学习曲线）．What's more，traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming．Therefore，without taking time to understand the science，vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises．The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome．Dr．Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as " pie-in-the-sky" businesses．He famously calculates，for instance，that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high．Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis （光合作用），so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light．Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high，vertical farming does create high efficiencies in other areas．Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again．Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary．It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society．The future is probably mixed．In some environments--the Middle East，for instance--a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer．An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance，can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland．In other geographies，though，the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability．A large vertical fanning and equipment operation only started generating a small profit eight years into its nine - year life．8.What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2？______A. It will replace traditional farming one day．B. It relies on research of more basic science．C. It can be applicable on different conditions．D. It actually came into being 12，000 years ago．9.What does Dr．Albright think of vertical farms？______A. They use less light than traditional ones．B. They may seem very unlikely to succeed．C. They can overcome many problems in farming．D. They do not need any natural sunlight any longer．10.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？______A. The ways of reducing costs of vertical fanning．B. The secrets of developing vertical farming．C. The recent trend of vertical farming．D. The benefits of vertical farming．11.Why is the example of "an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia" mentioned？______A. To show vertical fanning can work well in some places．B. To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia．C. To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high．D. To argue vegetables do not need to be imported any longer．DResearchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth，but it's not Atlantis．They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology，which rises withmountain ranges and dips with seas from Spain to Iran．The continent is called Greater Adria．It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa，only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago．And chances are you've been there without even knowing it．"Forget Atlantis，said Douwe，study author and professor at Utrecht University．" Without realizing it，vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria．" This area is called Adria by geologists，so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent as Greater Adria．Most of Greater Adria was underwater，covered by shallow seas，coral reefs and sediments （沉淀物）．The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas：the Alps，the Apennines，the Balkans，Greece and Turkey．The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago．This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found．In January 2017，researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana，which began breaking apart 200 million years ago．The leftover piece，which was covered in lava （岩浆），is now under Mauritius，an island in the Indian Ocean．And in September 2017，a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific．It's two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea．Greater Adria isn't the first lost continent to be found．But if research in past years shows anything，it likely won't be the last discovery．12.How did the researchers find Greater Adria？______A. They found it accidentally．B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis．C. They discovered it after years of seaching．D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges．13.What do we know about Greater Adria？______A. It is hidden under the sea level．B. It is much smaller than Greenland．C. It has existed for about 240 million years．D. It has been known to many tourists before．14.Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4？______A. To describe how the researchers explored continents．B. To show some other lost continents have been found．C. To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria．D. To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried．15.What is the best title for the text？______A. Atlantis Discovered FinallyB. Undersea World ExploredC. A Hidden Mountain UndiscoveredD. A Lost Continent Found Under Europe二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Easy Ways to Give Yourself a Fresh Start It doesn't need to be complicated or challenging to turn a fresh page on each new day．Whenever we mark a new year-by turning the calendar，returning to school or celebrating a holiday-we are looking for a fresh start．(1) But how？Here are some easy ways to connect withthat feeling of starting fresh，whether it's a new year or simply a new day in our life．(2) This means you have realized what serves your life now and what can stay in your past．Or invest in a new pen and a new notebook．Having fresh supplies can stimulate even the common task of creating your to-do list．Moreover，you can learn something new by opening a book you've been expecting to read，searching a question that's been on your mind，enrolling in a class that motivates your interest．Of course you can simply ask a friend for a fresh idea about an issue．(3)Take a break from technology-for an hour，a day，or a week．(4) You should be able to put some space between yourself and digital routines．One reason we sometimes struggle to start fresh is that you get stuck reflecting on worrisome thoughts about the past，the future or even the present．(5) Allow these thoughts into your day only at a brief （30 minutes or less），specific time．The rest of the time，focus on what you are doing that*s new and positive．How do you give yourself that " fresh start" feeling？A．Electronic Products might not be serving you best．B．Newness or the freshness can guide us on a positive path．C．Limit your daily " worry time" and make an appointment with yourself．D．All of us enjoy newness，but what is it that leads to a sense of freshness？E．Realizing your past mistakes，you should move forward with enthusiasm．F．Increasing your knowledge on any topic means taking your mind into a fresh area．G．First，even letting go of a single box or bag of items can give you a refreshing sense．16.

安徽省桐城中学2020届高三上学期第五次考试英语试卷
英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AIn addition to being open to opposite opinions， here are some techniques that could help broaden the way you think．Respect DifferenceThe mere presence of individuals from different backgrounds with different points of view in your everyday life creates an atmosphere in which people can better respond to change．Change EnvironmentsA change in your everyday life may provide the force needed to change the direction of your thinking． For some people， small changes might help reorganize your desk or take a new route to work， whereas for others， more adjustments are required．Shift into PositivityUnlike negative emotions that bring about specific reactions， positive emotions prompt us to broaden our attention， explore our environment， and open ourselves to absorbing information． Take a few moments to think about the things in your life that are going well and for which you are grateful； this will automatically brighten your mood-and free your brain．Look as if You've Never SeenA Zen Buddhist concept for approaching even routine situations as if you were encountering them for the first time， "beginner's mind" allows you to remain open to new experiences despite any expertise you may have． For instance， when you brush your teeth， take a moment to look at the toothbrush as if you've never laid eyes on such an object and notice its color and shape． Think about the flavor of the toothpaste and notice how your mouth feels as you move the brush back and forth．1.What may be the benefit of small changes in life？ ______A. Reducing one's workload．B. Focusing one's attention．C. Leading to adjustments．D. Better responding to changes．2.How can you find something new in routine situation？ ______A. By shifting into positivity．B. By respecting difference．C. By changing environments．D. By looking as if you've never seen．3.What's the purpose of the article？ ______A. To introduce skills of broadening one's thinking．B. To compare the attitudes to thinking．C. To give advice on thinking positively．D. To explain the reasons for being open．BAvoiding the worst effects of climate change will require action． But it's hard to take action when you don't even know there's a problem． Around the world， only half of adults understand that humans are causing climate change through activities that produce greenhouse gases． But the picture is different for kids． Previous work has shown that children are more engaged and more knowledgeable than adults are about climate change． The question is， can we harness this to make a difference？"We had come across this idea that kids are capable of influencing their parents． And when we say influence， we really mean just teaching them．" said Daniella Lawson，a social scientist at NC State University． "That's what we set out to really investigate： can we design things in such a way that kids are able to teach their parents about climate change． A parent is willing and able to listen to their children speaking to them instead of just an adult on the street or a different climate communicator． "To test the idea， Lawson set up a wildlife-based climate course for kids． This approach was based on previous courses， but the team added a twist： involving the parents． First， parents were invited to come along to an event that formed a part of the course． And that's not all． "So we also had students interview their parents． And this interview never mentioned climate change specifically． But it had questions like： how have you seen the weather change over the last five to ten years？ Do you believe the sea level is rising？ How do you think that could impact our communities？"The study showed that the course did indeed increase concern about climate change：not just among the kids， but their parents too． And there were some surprising findings in the results． These findings come at a time when more kids are becoming climate activists． And Lawson says that her study shows just how persuasive young people's voices can be．4.What does the underlined word "harness" in paragraph one refer to？ ______A. Adopt．B. Accumulate．C. Review．D. Control．5.What can be learned from the first paragraph？ ______A. Effective actions have been taken to deal with climate change．B. Most adults have realized the climate damages caused by themselves．C. Children better adults in the area of climate change and its effects．D. Adults and children will cooperate to deal with climate change．6.About climate change teaching， which one will Daniella Lawson most probablyagree with？ ______A. Kids can be taught by adults．B. Adults can learn from the kids．C. Climate communicators are more professional．D. Parents are more likely to consult street adults．7.What can be learned about the course？ ______A. The course involved is completely new．B. Interviews and questionnaires are necessary in the course．C. Adults and kids study separately during the course．D. The course is relatively effective in climate education．CIt was New Year's night． An aged man was standing at a window． Few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain goal-the tomb． He had already passed sixty of the age leading to it， and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets．The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him， and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrances of the two roads． One leading to a peaceful， sunny place covered with flowers and fruits； the other leading to a deep dark cave which was endless． He looked towards the sky and cried painfully，"Oh youth， return! Oh， my father， place me once more at the entrance to life"． But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away．He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness，and these were the days of his wasted life； he saw a star fall from the sky and disappear， and this was the symbol of himself． Then he remembered his friends in his childhood， who entered life together with him． But they had made their way to success and were then honored and happy on that New Year's night．The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents． They had taught him and prayed to God for his good． But he chose the wrong way with shame and grief． He dared no longer to look towards the heaven where his parents lived． He burst out a cry： "Come back， my early days!"And his youth did return， for all this was only a dream on New Year's night． He was still young though his faults were real． He had not yet entered the deep dark eave， and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land．8.Which of the following words can best describe the aged man？ ______A. Confident．B. Selfless．C. Regretful．D. Fortunate．9.What can we learn from Para3？ ______A. The man's friends missed their youth．B. The man's friends suffered failure finally．C. The man wasted his life at one time．D. The man was lonely in his childhood．10.What can be inferred from the text？ ______A. The old man didn't take his father's advice．B. The old man was enjoying his journey．C. The old man's father accompanied him during the journey．D. The old man was like lights in the darkness．11.What is the best title for the text？ ______A. A Special New Year's NightB. An Old Man's HesitationC. Youth Coming BackD. Two Roads to TakeDThe English-language version of Wikipedia has almost six million articles． And if you're a cheating student， that's six million essays already written for you． But plagiarism（剽窃）isn't really an effective way-just type the text into a search engine and the game is over． Then what about having a ghostwriter compose your final essay？"Standard plagiarism software cannot detect this kind of cheating．" said Stephan Lorenzen， a data analyst at the University of Copenhagen． In Denmark， where he's based， ghostwriting is a growing problem at high schools． So Lorenzen and his colleagues created a program called Ghostwriter that can detect the cheats．At its central part is a neural（神经的）network trained and tested on 130，000 real essays from 10，000 Danish students． After reading through tens of thousands of essays labeled as being written by the same author or not， the machine taught itself to tune into the characteristics that might tip off cheating． For example， did a student's essays share the same styles of punctuation？ The same spelling mistakes？By examining inconsistencies like those， Ghostwriter was able to seek out a cheated essay nearly 90 percent of the time． The team presented the results at the European Meeting on Artificial Neural Networks， Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning． There's one more aspect here that could help students． Your high school essays probably get better over time as you learn to write-and the machine can detect that． The final idea is to detect students who are at risk because their development in writing style isn't as you'd expect． Teachers could thus give extra help to kids who really need it， while sniffing out the cheaters too．12.What can be true about a cheating student trying to finish an essay？ ______A. His cheating may be detected in a certain way．B. Essays offered by WikiPedia can't be downloaded．C. He won't hire a ghostwriter to write one for himself．D. Ghost cheating can be detected by Standard plagiarism software．13.Which aspect of the program "Ghostwriter" is talked about in Para． 3？ ______A. Its components．B. Its weaknesses．C. Its influences．D. Its working theory．14.Which one of the following is the function of "Ghostwriter" ？ ______A. It never fails to find out a cheated essay．B. It can detect a student's progress in writing．C. It can guide a student to correct his writing style．D. It relieves teachers of giving extra help．15.Where is the text most likely from？ ______A. A guidebook．B. A magazine．C. A novel．D. A diary．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Many college students pursue internships（实习）， but only a few of them have the chance to turn that experience into a future career． (1) But there are still strategies interns can employ to win their employer's attention． (2)●Treat challenging projects as a way to test yourself．The company may be in a field that is new to you， so the projects you work on maybe equally unfamiliar． Adapting to a new environment without having prior experience can be scary． (3) When you show that you can take on every project with a positive attitude， your employer will know how valuable you could be as a full-time employee after graduation．●Let your boss know you are interested in a job．If you love your internship and want to work at the company in the future， tell your boss before you leave． It might seem direct． But it is worth putting yourself on your boss's radar while you are still in the company． (4) If it is more thana few semesters away， tell him or her that you will follow up as the date gets closer．● (5)Internship supervisors（主管）and colleagues are valuable members of your professional network．They know your work and abilities． They can recommend you not only for jobs at their company， but also when you apply for other companies． Remember to send e-mails or text messages to your former bosses a few times a year． Let them know what you are doing as you progress in college．A． Keep in touch when your internship ends．B． Get your supervisors to recommend you．C． This could be because of the tough job market．D． Let your supervisor know when you will graduate．E． Your boss's interest on you will allow you to graduate easily．F． But try to look at your internship as the ideal opportunity to learn a new skill．G． Here are some suggestions for students to make the most of their internship．16.

As for means of transportation, I think G-series high speed train is the best choice for travelling.The G-series high-speed trains have been well developed and become popular nowadays in China. With lots of different lines, it is convenient for you to travel wherever you go. Besides, the high-speed train is comfortable, safe and fast. They are seldom delayed and it is easy to get tickets via many channels, such as by phone, through the Internet, or on a self-service machine. Furthermore, prices of tickets are reasonable.Wish you a good journey in China! (116)Yours,Li Hua录音原文(Text 1)M: Would you mind giving these books to Professor Hata for me? He lent them to me.W: I'm afraid I wouldn’t be seeing him today, since classes have been cancelled due to the snowstorm.(Text 2)W: I really want to use my computer but there's something wrong with it. Can you see if you can figure out what's wrong?M: I've just finished cleaning the windows so I'll have some tea and then take a look at it, OK? (Text 3)M: Do you want to go to the Star Club with me tonight? I'm going with some of my friends from school.W: Not really. They overcharge for drinks and foods. I'd rather go to a bar around here.(Text 4)W: Sir, can I come in now?M: Sorry, lady. I'm afraid you'll have to wait half an hour.Our business hours are from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.(Text 5)M: Congratulations on your marriage! You're so beautiful today.W: Thank you very much for coming.M: Where are you going for your honeymoon?W: We're going to Canada.(Text 6)M: How's the new job, Alison?W: Well, I'm terribly busy. Every day I meet many people. But I do lots of typing and filing, too. M: Don't you like being a receptionist?W: Oh, I enjoy meeting people, and I like answering the phone. But I hate typing, and I can't stand filing.M: You can go to college, you know. Why don't you study for a year?W: What do you mean?M: I mean, you can do a course in business studies. After a year, you get a certificate. Then youcan apply for lots of different jobs.W: That's a good idea.(Text 7)M: I wish there were laws to keep down noise.W: What's the matter?M: There's so much noise in my neighbourhood. At first, I didn't mind it, but now I find the noise is making me nearly deaf.W: What kind of noise?M: Oh, all sorts -- pop music all day long, the starting of car engines in the early morning, stuff like that.W: You're suffering from noise pollution, Mike. Constant noise makes life difficult and unpleasant. It can prevent you from working well and can even damage your health.M: Yes, that's true. I am not as efficient as I used to be. I really can't find a way to avoid all this noise.W: Well, I'd suggest you move out of your neighbourhood.(Text 8)W: What are you going to do for the project?M: I don't know. I was hoping you could help me think of something.W: Well, you're such a good artist. You could talk about watercolour while you're doing one in front of the class.M: Maybe, but I'm still uncertain. What if I make a mistake in front of everyone?W: Come on, you're really talented. You wouldn't have to do much preparation beforehand.M: Er ...W: Or, how about this? You could bring in a photo, a pencil drawing, and a watercolour of the same subject. Something simple so it wouldn't take so much time to do, like a flower. Then you could show the advantages and disadvantages of working with different materials.M: I could do that ahead of time.W: You could, but remember, it would take a lot more time.M: Sure, thanks.(Text 9)W: I think you made the right choice, coming to us. We have a wide selection of vehicles you can choose from.M: I would like to rent a car with good air conditioning.W: All our cars have air conditioning systems in them. Air conditioning and stereos are all standard with us.M: Good. I am visiting my girlfriend. I want her to have a good time.W: Oh, is that so? Well, then. Let me show you something she might like. It's on our back lot.M: This is a Porsche!W: Yes. Beautiful, isn't it?M: But I probably can't afford it. It must be really expensive.W: Well, sir. You said you were looking at cars at the rental agency at the airport. Now with them you'd spend your money and get nothing for it. But you could probably rent this Porsche from us, for the same price as one of their standard cars.M: But how can you do that?W: It's because our prices are so good. And this car has a lot of miles on it. But it's in nice shape, isn't it?M: Yes, that's very satisfying. I'll rent it.(Text 10)Hello, everyone, and welcome to our school Natural History Day. Let me give you some information about today's activities. Remember, you need to attend one of these activities.All right, your first choice is called "Dogs might fly", which will take place in Room 27. Professor Black will be having a lecture on animals and this will be followed by a group discussion where you'll get a chance to ask her questions and offer your own thoughts and opinions.Well, we all know that animals communicate with each other, but what about flowers? Your second choice is a video show called "Flowers Talk". This considers the possibility that plants and flowers do actually communicate with each other. The video is introduced by Patrick Bell, who has just written a book on how plants get used to their natural environment. That will take place in the lecture room, no, sorry, correct that, here in the main hall. We've had to move it because the lecture room is being repaired.The final choice is good for those of you who want to get a bit of fresh air. We've called it "A world in your garden". Anyway, for those of you interested in getting away from the classroom. Dr. Smith will be taking you on a nature walk through the local park, and will be telling you about some of the animals and plants that live and grow nearby. And it's a lovely day for a walk!OK, let's start our wonderful day now.第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）A【语篇导读】这是一篇应用文。
