Your team leader will give you regular safety instructions, inform you of the project aims and assist you with working effectively.No previous experience is necessary to join the project. All you need is a love of the environment and a fairly good level of fitness to help out!1.Who can sign up for this conservation volunteering project?A.A retired maths teacher.B.A primary school student.C.A scientist with heart disease.D.A businessman in a wheelchair.2.What can you do on the volunteer trip?A.Protect cultural sites and go shopping.B.Enjoy local sightseeing and go fishing.C.Protect weeds and build roads.D.Collect seeds and plant trees.3.From which is the text probably taken?A.A history book.B.A travel magazine.C.A research paper.D.A novel.BThe English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred. The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this way might be helpful for teaching children, it is far from accurate.The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word "err." The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word "her." Older dictionaries show this to be the primary or only pronunciation. However, in recent years, more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like "air." Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.Of course, many slang words have been just short-lived fashions that have died out quickly. Others, though, have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable, as have many technical terms. So then remember, the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.4. When we begin to learn English, we think _________.A. it is interesting to pick up a new languageB. English rules are wrongly presented in factC. grammar and spelling rules are unchangeableD. only adults have the ability to affect a language5. From paragraph 3 we can know that_________.A. we can change the English languageB. many languages are changing over yearsC. English has changed little in the past 1,000 yearsD. there were main changes in grammar and pronunciation6. Why is the pronunciation of words changing?A. people speak in different waysB. people have adopted foreign wordsC. it has been affected by American EnglishD. makers of dictionaries often change them7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Foreign words involved in English.B. The British speaks differently from Americans.C. English language is changing over years.D. You can change the English language.CFrom Mozart to Metallica, tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Most believe that music helps increase creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that view. The study results wereechoedby scientists fromLancasterUniversity, and theUniversityofGavle, saying their findings show music actually weakens creativity.To reach their conclusions, researchers had volunteers complete verbal problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music significantly weakened the volunteers’ ability to complete tasks connected with verbal creativity. The team also tested background noises like those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no influence on subjects’ creativity.The tasks were simple word games. For example, volunteers were given three words, such as dress, rise, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word connected with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunrise, sunflower). Volunteers completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while listening to two different types of music: rock music or light music“We found strong evidence of weakened performance when playing background music in comparison toquiet background conditions,” says co-author D. Neil McLatchie ofLancasterUniversity. He and his colleagues find that music negatively influences the verbal working memory processes of the brain, preventing creativity. Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the study’s authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “regular state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration.“To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music increases creativity, and instead show that music, whatever type it is, is always a disadvantage for creative performance in problem solving,” the study reads.8. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________.A. challengedB. acceptedC. doubtedD. heard9. What were the volunteers asked to do in the study?A. To play music.B. To combine given words.C. To create new words.D. To connect words with music.10. What can we infer from the study?A. Quiet background inspires creativity best.B. Library noise does no harm to creativity.C. Music has a bad effect on language ability.D. Music types matter in creative performance.11. Which is the main idea of the passage?A. Quiet Environments Prevent Concentration.B. Background NoiseAffects Concentration.C. Composing Music Weakens Creativity.D. Listening to Music Reduces Creativity.DMy wife and I recently completed a day-long tour of the Great Wall with Jessie. In addition to being very knowledgeable about the history of theareas that we toured, she spoke excellent English and was able to answer all of our questions. Her driver was very experienced and polite, and we really enjoyed being able to have a customized tour that avoided the tourist traps and forced shopping that seem to be a part of the larger group tours.The attractions themselves were fantastic. I was a little worried that the snowy weather might impact our trip to the Great Wall, but everything went fine, and there weren’t many people out at all that day. I suggest wearing strong shoes—the Great Wall is really a hike. And in snowy or rainy days, the surfaces are pretty slippery (滑的)! Seeing this area in winter was really unique, and the snow made for great pictures. Jessie kept us entertained with stories and facts about the construction of the Wall, and always pointed out great spots for taking pictures. Even though she’s in fantastic shape, she cared about our level of fitness and often stopped to let us catch our breath.When we got back to our hotel, Jessie gave us a great recommendation for dinner and some tips for our planned stops the next day. If I find myself in Beijing in the future, I will certainly be contacting Jessie for more tour opportunities, and I’ve already recommended her to some friends who are visiting the area later in the year. I can’t say enough about how kind and knowledgeable she was, and she really gave us a great tour experience.12. What can we infer about Jessie?A. She is a tour advisor.B. She is a tour guide.C. She is a foreign traveler.D. She is a skilled driver.13. When did the writer visit the Great Wall?A. In spring.B. In summer.C. In autumn.D. In winter.14. What did the writer think of his tour?A. Adventurous.B. Disappointing.C. Satisfactory.D. Improvable.15. What is the probable title for the text?A. A Wonderful Tour Day with JessieB. An Extraordinary Tour CompanyC. The Great Wall, an Excellent AttractionD. Jessie, a Kind and Knowledgeable Guide第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019-2020学年鄂南高级中学高三英语下学期期中考试试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe Internet can provide a wealth of educational resources for small children, if you know where to look.Enchanted LearningEnchanted learning is a great website for children, and I know several teachers who rely on it for materials for their classrooms. Most of the information is free, but for $ 20.00 per year, you can purchase a membership that allows you to have access to the site without the advertising. The pages here are great. There are color1 ed pages and worksheets for toddlers (学步儿童) and school-age children.StarfallStarfall is another good educational website for small children. Teachers often use this website in classrooms. It emphasizes reading skills for early learners. The website is aimed at first-grade-level learners, but it has tools that can help all children from pre-K to second grade. The website has reading activities, worksheets to download, and a store where you can purchase educational materials for your children.Sesame Street WorkshopKids loveSesame Street, and it is always educational. This is one of the funniest websites online for children because it is very well animated and has great sound effects. The website has games and stories for small kids, and they can create letters at the post office and mail them to their favorite characters.1. Why does Enchanted Learning offer purchasing memberships?A. Charging for the information.B. Charging for downloading materials.C. Giving access to the site without the ads.D. Providing unlimited search for more pages.2. Where can you buy educational materials for your children?A. Enchanted LearningB. StarfallC. Sesame Street WorkshopD. Colored pages3. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce.B. To discuss.C. To persuade.D. To educate.Brown cows may not actually make chocolate milk, but pink silkworms（蚕）do produce pink silk, a team of scientists has discovered. To see if they could produce pre-dyed silk-silk that comes color1 ed, straight from the source-the team fed ordinary silkworms mulberry（桑树）leaves that had been sprayed（喷洒）with fabric（织物）dyes（染色剂）. Out of seven tested dyes, only one worked, producing a thread that reminded me of pink-dyed hair.And yes, the worms themselves take on some color1 before they produce silk. Their color1 ful diets did not affect their growth, the team, which included engineers and biologists from the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory in India, reports in the journalACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. (The researchers didn't look too deeply into how the dyes affected the silkworms' health. After all, silkworms die when people harvest their silk.)The team made dyeing silk this way because color1 ing fabric normally uses large amounts of fresh water. The water gets polluted with dangerous chemicals in the process, requiring costly treatment before factories can send it back into waterways. Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms would avoid those water-washing steps. Scientists are just starting to study this idea. However, it remains to be seen if it's commercially successful. In this experiment, the Indian team tested seven dyes, which are cheap and popular in the industry.The scientists found different dyes moved through silkworms' bodies differently. Some never made it into the worms' silk at all. Others color1 ed the worms and their silk but the color1 disappears before the silk is turned into fabric. Only one dye, named "direct acid fast red", showed up in the final, washed silk threads. By the time it made it there, it was a pleasant, light pink.4. The text is most probably a(n) ________.A. science reportB. tourist guideC. animal experimentD. fashion advertisement5. Silkworms can produce pink silk because ________.A. they are born pinkB. they are dyed pinkC. they grow in pink waterD. they are fed dyed food6. Where is the experiment carried out?A. In America.B. In India.C. In Israel.D. In China.7. How many dyes have been proved successful in the experiment?A. One.B. Three.C. Five.D. Seven.What will future schools look like in 100 years? Imagine future schools in which students are totally engaged in a class. They are concentrating on working together to solve real-world problems. They are self-driven and are coming up withamazing ideas on the spot. They are concerned with each other’s well-being as part of a team. Their concerns reach far beyond the classroom to others all over the globe.The school of the future will be an amazing melting pot of different peoples coming together to solve real-world problems.Will they even be called “schools” in the future?The teacher-student relationship is changing. Teachers are acting more as helpers rather than keepers of all knowledge. Students are driving their own education to the path that they feel best fits them. In the future, employers may not be as concerned with a diploma. They’ll look more at cases and examples of how students contribute to solving real-world problems. They’ll want to know how well they work in a team.What will problem-solving look like in the future?Information from the Internet is accessible everywhere and at unimaginable speeds. Kids are connected to news around the world in real time. Imagine someone could put out a request to the global community to help solve an issue in their own community! Classes can adopt an issue and work with other classes around the world in real time to create solutions.What will information look like in the future?It’s already everywhere. Users can get flooded by the constant flow of information. The need to understand what is true and what is not is important. The flipped classroom (翻转课堂) has already completely changed lecture-based lessons. It presents interesting content to students before they even come to class. They can access the Internet as many times as they want to review the lessons.8. What is the key message of the first paragraph?A. The things students will do in the future school.B. The situation where students will be in the future.C. The attention students will pay to in the classroom.D. The methods students will use to study in the classroom.9. What will be thought highly of when students solve real-world problems?A. Respect.B. Patience.C. Teamwork.D. Concern.10. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?A. Teachers encourage students to develop leadership.B Students are really relaxed with their heavy study.C. The employers value students’ diplomas most.D. Students have the right to choose the most suitable lessons.11. What’s the purpose of the flipped classroom?A. To help students to improve the problem-solving ability.B. To provide the lessons for students to study before or after class.C. To help students to keep in contact with the outside world.D. To help students to understand the most difficult content.DA team of researchersfrom theUniversityofColorado Boulderhave created a revolutionary type of robotic muscles. They are strong and flexible at the same time, can feel the movements they perform and, whenever they suffer damage, they can self-heal. However, what is best about them is probably the fact that they are extremely cheap to manufacture.The robotic muscles have been called actuators, and have drawn inspiration from real-life muscles. By creating robots equipped with this kind of actuators, researchers would allowthem to perform movements just like human muscles.To make the robotic muscles work, they filled some flexible material with electrodes(电极)and with liquid and oil. Then, they applied some electricity, and the liquid and oil started moving around the electrodes and powered them. This way, the robotic muscles started contracting and relaxing just like real muscles, but a lot quicker.Researchers also took inspiration from the variety of human muscles, and created more types of actuators, each of them performing a different movement. They called these robotic muscles HASEL ( Hydraulically-Amplified Self-healing Electrostatic). However, they are superior to biological muscles as they are stronger, faster, and more flexible.Even the researchers were amazed they could develop such technology. Eric Acome, the author of one of the studies, explained what is unique about the robotic muscles.“The ability to create electrically powered soft actuators that lift a gallon of water at several times per second is something we haven't seen before.”These muscles are special because they are also self-healing. This property is given by the liquid placed insideof them, which also gives them a lot more advantages than those mechanisms (机械)using solids. In the end, the material which keeps the liquid, the oil and the electrodes is extremely cheap. It is a type of polymer (聚合物)similar to the one used for potato chips bags, and can be manufactures for only 10 cents.12. What can we learn about actuators?A. They can heal on their own.B. They are biological muscles.C. They can not move like human muscles.D. They are slower to react than real muscles.13. What do actuators use to directly power electrodes?A. Solids.B. Liquid and oil.C. A type of polymer.D. Potato chips bags.14. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The origin of actuators.B. The opinions on actuators.C. The advantages of actuators.D. The significance of actuators.15. In which part of a newspaper will the textmost probably appear?A. Health.B. Culture.C. Education.D. Technology.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

To celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday,Luke Fortune drove from a small town in Central Oregon to Portland, where he parked his car in a paid garage overnight. The next morning, he discovered that the car’s window had been broken, along with his dreams for the future: His backpack and computer were gone.“Everything important to me was on that computer,” said Fortune, 21, who is studying to become a paramedic (护理人员).” My classwork, every paper I’d written, and all the programs I needed for my paramedic tests. Every letter I was working on for job applications. I felt sick.”Two days after the theft, another young man was standing outside his apartment, also in Portland. Masoud Almazrouei ,29, was an exchange student from the United Arab Emirates. A man came up to him, saying he had a computer for sale. Only $200.Almazrouei,who had been in the United States for only a year, admits now that he was naive (天真).But he needed a computer, so he bought it, took it home, and turned it on. Within seconds, he saw files and photographs.“I wondered who would sell a computer with all of this on it,” he said.” I realized it could be stolen.” Amarone found what appeared to be the owner’s cell phone number and called it.“This guy with a thick accent told me he had my computer,” Fortune said.” He told me the story and said it was his fault. I thought it was a trick. I told him if he really had the computer, he should take it to the police.”Soon after, a police officer called Fortune to say that a man had dropped the computer off and had said he was sorry. He passed along the man’s number.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;3. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;4. 续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Following the proposal, merchants are asked to offer guidance for consumers, including reminding them during the ordering process about the taste of the ingredients, portion sizes and other information about the dishes, to helpthem avoid excessive ordering and food waste.Catering（餐饮)associations in more than 18 provinces have also joined the campaign to remove food waste. The Wuhan Catering Association proposed an “NT" ordering code for restaurants in which a group of 10 diners would only order enough for nine people. More food is only brought to the table if required. On Friday, the China Cuisine Association announced that it had teamed up with Ele. me, the Alibaba Group Holding-owned food delivery platform, to launch a "half-dish plan," encouraging restaurants to provide customers with the option to order smaller portions.Tang Zhisong, a professor at Southwest University Education School, said "Evaluating how much you can eat, how much you should buy and how to deal with the leftover is a way for young people to improve their self-management.

What’s more, they discovered that a husband’s social class, based on his occupation, had a greater influence on his wife’s longevity(长寿) than her own class.“Women traditionally take more responsibility for the home than men do, and, as a result, women’s levels of education might be more important for determining lifestyles－for example, in terms of food choices－than those of men,” say Srs. Robert Erikson and Jenny Torssander of the Swedish Institute for Social Research inStockholm.The results show that a husband’s level of education does not influence his longevity, but that men with partners who had quit studying after school were 25 per cent more likely to die early than men living with women holding university degrees. In turn, those married to women with university degrees were 13 percent more likely to die early than those whose wives had post-graduate qualifications.According to the researchers, a woman with a good education may not marry a man who drinks and smokes too much or who drives carelessly, and men with such habits may not prefer highly educated woman. Drs. Erikson and Torssander also suggest that better-educated women may be more aware of what healthy eating and good health care consist of.The findings suggest that education has a huge impact on how long and how well people live. It also reflects social factors, since educated individuals usually have better jobs, which allow them to afford healthier diets and lifestyles, as well as better health care.8. In this passage the author intends to ________.A. present the results of a studyB. encourage women to get higher educationC. analyze the relationship between education and lifeD. discuss why women usually live longer than men9.

To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we stay here.Tibetan antelopes live mainly on the plains of Tibet. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I'm struck by their beauty. I'm also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted illegally for their valuable fur.My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a safe place for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We're not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we're trying to save ourselves.”In the 1980s and 1990s the population of Tibetan antelopes dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make money. Their living places were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.In order to save Tibetan antelopes, the Chinese government placed them under national protection. Zhaxi and volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope wasremovedfrom the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection program since the threat to the Tibetan antelope has not yet disappeared. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.12. What can we learn from Zhaxi's words in paragraph 3?A. Protecting the animals can make money.B. Protecting the animals is protecting ourselves.C. He is not fond of protecting the animals.D. The reserve is only safe for wild animals.13. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?A. Why hunters hunt Tibetan antelopes.B. Why antelopes' living places changed.C. Why antelopes' number dropped greatly.D. Why the 1980s and the 1990s are unusual.14. What does the underlined word “removed” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Deleted.B. Changed.C. Migrated.D. Recognized.15. What might be the future condition of Tibetan antelopes according to the last paragraph?A. They will be over-populated.B. They will be a threat to man and other wildlife.C. They will be on the endangered species list again.D. They will be in harmony with nature and humans.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Inspiration and InventionC. A Great InventorD. A Well-Known CompanyCGovernment in Tibet have denied the permanent（永久的）closure of Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve．The announcement came after a report went viral online claiming the base camp of the world's highest mountain was "permanently closed due to heavy pollution" and caused a universal misunderstanding．Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve was set up in 1988．Covering an area of more than 33，800 square km，it is home to one of the world's most weak ecosystems（生态系统）．Kelsang，deputy director of the reserves administration，said ordinary tourists are allowed to visit areas around Rongpo Monastery，almost 5，000 meters above sea level．As for travelers who have a climbing permit，they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5，200 meters．The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department．To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma，China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5，200 meters and above last spring，collecting eight tonnes of household wastes，human wastes and mountaineering trash．This year，the clean-up will continue，and the remains of mountaineering victims（受害者）above 8，000 meters will be centrally dealt with for the first time．Meanwhile，the number of people who stay at the base camp will be kept under 300．Recently，there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve，and 1，000 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage．These measures aim to strike a balance between various demands such as environmental protection，local poverty relief，mountaineering and education，said Wang Shen，county chief of Dingri at the mountain foot．8.Which of the following can replace the underlined words "went viral" in Paragraph 2 ？______A. Spread wild．B. Block out．C. Gave away．D. Shoot up．9.What can we learn according to Kelsang's words about the National Nature Reserve？______A. Most tourists are allowed to visit the base camp．B. Permit is a must for visitors going to the base camp．C. The mountaineering activities are not allowed these days．D. The areas above 5，200 meters are open to everyone．10.Why did the government carry out clean-ups at an altitude of 5，200 meters and above？______A. To provide a much easier path for mountaineers．B. To keep mountaineering activities going smooth．C. To remove the remains of mountaineering victims．D. To protect the environment of Mount Qomolangma．11.How many people are involved in the cleaning up activities at present？______A. 300B. 1000C. 85D. 1085DAs people age，the body changes in all sorts of predictable ways．Brains can slow．Wounds take longer to recover．And sleep patterns（模式）shift，too．This can come as news to many，says Michael V．Vitiello，a psychologist at the University of Washington who is expert in sleep in aging．The most noticeable---and often most annoying---changes are how sleep and wake-up times change and sleep gets lighter，often beginning in middle age．Gone are weekend sleep to 11 a．m．and the ability to sleep through a noisy garbage truck down the block．But not every restless night can be ignored．Studies have found that poor sleep can create a particular threat to older adults---Falls，depression and anxiety，problems with memory，and increased suicide（自杀）risk are among the effects of sleep issues in this population group that researchers have found．But scientists are still unsure why those risk connections exist．What is clear is the connection between good sleep and psychological well-being in older adults．A 2010 study showed us that connection when it came to sleep quality，but sleep quantity didn't show the same effects．And that，experts say，may be the key to understanding sleep as you age．If you're sleeping less，but don't feel negative effects out of bed，the changes you notice may just be normal age-related．Over time，Vitiello says，sleep patterns simply change．"A lot of older adults recognize that they don't sleep the same as they did when they were 18，but they can still function and they're OK．And all is well with the universe．"12.What can we learn from the second paragraph？______A. As a person ages，his sleep quality becomes worse．B. People in old age often sleep late and wake up early．C. People in old age often sleep to 11 a．m．at weekends．D. As a person ages，he adapts to the noisy surroundings．13.What may result in poor psychological health for the elderly？______A. Sleep of low quality．B. A small quantity of sleep．C. Sleep of high quality．D. A large quantity of sleep．14.What attitude should we have towards sleep as we become old？______A. Negative．B. Frustrated．C. Scientific．D. Disappointed．15.What is the main idea of the passage？______A. Sleep pattern and weight．B. Sleep pattern and age．C. Negative effects of aging．D. Positive effects of sleep．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Trophies（奖杯）were once rare things．(1) ．Trophies and prizes are almost a given．One Maryland summer program gives awards every day and each player gets one．Trophy sales are now a $3 billion-a-year industry in the United States and Canada．Some research has been done on the effects of praise and awards on kids．Although kids can be highlydriven by awards，nonstop recognition does not inspire children to succeed．(2) ．Carol Dweck，a psychology professor at Stanford University，found that kids respond positively to praise；they enjoy hearing that they're talented，smart and so on．(3) ．Disappointed by their failure，they say they'd rather cheat than risk failing again．(4) ，even if they are good at something；they've got to get used to that to keep going．When children make mistakes，our job should not be to make up those losses into decorated victories．Instead，our job is to help kids overcome failures，to help them see that progress over time is more important than a particular win or loss．(5) ．We also have to stop lettingthe Trophy Industry run our children's lives．A．Let's fight for a kid's right to loseB．Instead，it can cause them to underachieveC．To do that，we need to refuse all the meaningless prizesD．Kids are going to lose more often than they win in lifeE．But today they began to be mass-produced，marketed and sold in storesF．They will know improvement，character and hard work are to be valuedG．But after such praise，they break down at the first experience of difficulty16.

succeed．提到，无休止的称赞没能鼓励孩子成功，所以，相反，让孩子未能充分发挥学习潜力．此句在此承担承上启下的作用．下一段就谈到了为什么孩子没能充分发挥潜力．故选B3．G．推理判断题．前一句Carol Dweck， a psychology professor at Stanford University， found that kids respond positively to praise； they enjoy hearing that they're talented，smart and so on．提到孩子们喜欢被表扬聪明，所以 G 选项的 after such praise，与之呼应，只要经历困难，他们就接受不了（他们不是那么聪明的事实）．故选G4．D．推理判断题．后一句even if they are good at something；they've got

In an open-air theatre．BBill Bowerman was a track coach．He wanted to help athletes run faster．So he had learned how to make running shoes．He had also started a shoe company with a friend．It was 1971．Running shoes at the time were heavy．They had spikes （鞋钉）on the sole （鞋底）．The spikes tore up the track and slowed down runners．To make a lighter shoe，Bill tried the skins of fish．To make a better sole，he wanted to replace the spikes．Bill dug through his wife Barbara's jewelry box．He hoped to find a piece of jewelry with an interesting pattern．He would then copy the pattern onto the new soles．Nothing worked．Bill was defeated．Then，one Sunday morning，Barbara made Bill waffles （华夫饼）for breakfast．Bill watched her cook．He studied the criss-cross pattern on a waffle iron．Inspiration struck．The pattern on the waffle iron was just what Bill was looking for．The squares were flatter and wider than sharp spikes．The pattern would help the shoes hold any surface without tearing into it．When Barbara left the house，Bill ran to his lab．He took the liquid chemicals that，when mixed，would harden into the sole of a shoe．He poured the mixture into the waffle iron---and the Waffle Trainer was born．Bill's company put the Waffle Trainer on market in 1974．It was a huge hit．Maybe you've heard of that company---it's called Nike．And today it's worth around﹩100 billion．It was the waffle iron that had changed the course of Bill's life---and helped turn Nike into a well-known name．Today，the waffle iron is kept at Nike headquarters．It serves as a reminder that if we keep trying，we can find a solution to even the most difficult problems．And those solutions can come from unlikely places，even the breakfast table．4.What shortcomings did the old-style running shoes have？______A.

A Well-Known CompanyCGovernment in Tibet have denied the permanent（永久的）closure of Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve．The announcement came after a report went viral online claiming the base camp of the world's highest mountain was "permanently closed due to heavy pollution" and caused a universal misunderstanding．Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve was set up in 1988．Covering an area of more than 33，800 square km，it is home to one of the world's most weak ecosystems（生态系统）．Kelsang，deputy director of the reserves administration，said ordinary tourists are allowed to visit areas around Rongpo Monastery，almost 5，000 meters above sea level．As for travelers who have a climbing permit，they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5，200 meters．The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department．To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma，China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5，200 meters and above last spring，collecting eight tonnes of household wastes，human wastes and mountaineering trash．This year，the clean-up will continue，and the remains of mountaineering victims（受害者）above 8，000 meters will be centrally dealt with for the first time．Meanwhile，the number of people who stay at the base camp will be kept under 300．Recently，there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve，and 1，000 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage．These measures aim to strike a balance between various demands such as environmental protection，local poverty relief，mountaineering and education，said Wang Shen，county chief of Dingri at the mountain foot．8.Which of the following can replace the underlined words "went viral" in Paragraph 2 ？______A.

To protect the environment of Mount Qomolangma．11.How many people are involved in the cleaning up activities at present？______A. 300B. 1000C. 85D. 1085DAs people age，the body changes in all sorts of predictable ways．Brains can slow．Wounds take longer to recover．And sleep patterns（模式）shift，too．This can come as news to many，says Michael V．Vitiello，a psychologist at the University of Washington who is expert in sleep in aging．The most noticeable---and often most annoying---changes are how sleep and wake-up times change and sleep gets lighter，often beginning in middle age．Gone are weekend sleep to 11 a．m．and the ability to sleep through a noisy garbage truck down the block．But not every restless night can be ignored．Studies have found that poor sleep can create a particular threat to older adults---Falls，depression and anxiety，problems with memory，and increased suicide（自杀）risk are among the effects of sleep issues in this population group that researchers have found．But scientists are still unsure why those risk connections exist．What is clear is the connection between good sleep and psychological well-being in older adults．A 2010 study showed us that connection when it came to sleep quality，but sleep quantity didn't show the same effects．And that，experts say，may be the key to understanding sleep as you age．If you're sleeping less，but don't feel negative effects out of bed，the changes you notice may just be normal age-related．Over time，Vitiello says，sleep patterns simply change．"A lot of older adults recognize that they don't sleep the same as they did when they were 18，but they can still function and they're OK．And all is well with the universe．"12.What can we learn from the second paragraph？______A.

【小题4】B【解析】1．A 推理判断题．由第二段"changes are how sleep and wake-up times change and sleep gets lighter， often beginning in middle age． Gone are weekend sleep to 11 a．m． and the ability to sleep through a no isy garbage truck down the block．"改变是睡眠和唤醒时间的变化，睡眠变得更轻，通常从中年开始．周末睡到上午11点已经一去不复返了．可推断，随着年龄的增长，他的睡眠质量会变差．故选A．2．A 推理判断题．由文章第 4 段"What is clear is the connection between good sleep and psychologicalwell-being in older adults． A 2010 study showed us that association when it came to sleep q uality， but sleep quantity didn't show the same effects． "显而易见的是老年人的良好睡眠和心理健康之间的联系．2010年的一项研究向我们展示了睡眠质量时的关联，但睡眠量没有显示出相同的效果．可判断出心理健康与睡眠质量有关，而与睡眠数量没有关系．因此答案选择A．3．C 观点态度题．由文章第 4 段"If you're sleeping less， but don't feel negative effects out of bed， the changes you notice may just be normal age-related．"可以判断出对待睡眠我们应该以科学的态度来看待．答案选择C．4．B主旨大意题．从全文来看，文章介绍的是睡眠模式与年龄增长的关系．所以答案选择B．本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究表明睡眠模式随着年龄而发生变化．考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．16.【答案】【小题1】E 【小题2】B 【小题3】G 【小题4】D 【小题5】C【解析】1．E．推理判断题．前一句Trophies（奖杯） were once rare things．说奖杯以前是很稀少的东西，根据后面一句可知，奖杯现在却是被大量使用的．所以此句对前一句进行转折，引出现在奖杯被大量使用的话题．故选E2．B．推理判断题．此句前一句 Although kids can be highly driven by awards， nonstop recognition does not inspire chil dren to succeed．提到，无休止的称赞没能鼓励孩子成功，所以，相反，让孩子未能充分发挥学习潜力．此句在此承担承上启下的作用．下一段就谈到了为什么孩子没能充分发挥潜力．故选B3．G．推理判断题．前一句Carol Dweck， a psychology professor at Stanford University， found that kids respond posi tively to praise； they enjoy hearing that they're talented， smart and so on．提到孩子们喜欢被表扬聪明，所以 G 选项的 after such praise，与之呼应，只要经历困难，他们就接受不了（他们不是那么聪明的事实）．故选G4．D．推理判断题．后一句even if they are good at something； they've got to get used to that to keep going．让步状语从句提到，even if they are good at something，所以此处为他们在生活中还是会处处遇到困难和失败．5．C．推理判断题．此处为提出目的，因为后面一句是达到目的方法和手段．再者，后一句有一个 also have to可知，前面一句Instead， our job is to help kids overcome failures， to help them see that progress over time is more important than a particular win or loss．也是类似的一个途径，与 C 选项中的 need to 逻辑上照应．故选D文章是一篇议论文，讨论了当今社会奖励泛滥的问题，研究发现，奖励过多则会失去其应有的鼓励作用，让孩子们不能充分发挥其学习潜力七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子．解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近七的词），选出最符合语境的句子．21.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】A 【小题3】D 【小题4】C

AA handwritten letter by a little boy asking Santa for a “very good dad” has captured hearts worldwide.The boy, known only as “Blake” in the letter, wrote, “Dear Santa, We had to leave our house. Dad was mad. We had to do all the chores. Dad got everything he wanted. Mom said it was time to leave and she would take us to a safer place where we don't have to be scared.”“Blake is a 7-year-old boy in one of our shelters, and his mom found this letter in his backpack...” Posted by SafeHaven of Tarrant County on Wednesday, Decembe r 18, 2019.“I'm still nervous. I don't want to talk to the other kids,” he continued. “Are you going to come this Christmas? Can you bring a dictionary, and a compass and a watch?”The most heart-wrenching part of the letter was the last line that read, “I also want a very very very good dad.Can you do that too?”Officials with SafeHaven of Tarrant County, a group seeking to help end domestic （家庭的）violence, posted Blake's letter to its Facebook page. Now, some of the child's wishes have come true. All of the gifts he asked for have been donated by people in the community. Though SafeHaven received more than 10,000 gifts this year, they want to shine a light on the bigger issue of domestic violence.“To us, it was kind of a story that we've heard all the time,” Kathryn Jacob, the organization's president and CEO, told Today. “Like tonight, we have 73 kids in the shelter. ”Blake is just one of many.”21. The little boy asked Santa for a “very good dad” because .A. his dad was too strict with himB. he was forced to do all the choresC. he was ill-treated by his dadD. his dad didn't buy him any gifts22. What do we know about SafeHaven?A. It has received a lot of concern so far.B. It provides services for homeless children.C. It posted Blake's letter without permission.D. Part of its goal is to earn money.23. What is Kathryn Jacob's purpose by saying the words in the last paragraph?A. To advertise their shelter.B. To introduce their shelter.C. To tell more information about Blake.D. To draw attention to domestic violence.BSince September about 11m hectares of Australia have been in flames. This year 's fires are the worst on record, with at least 26 people dead, about half-billion animals burned alive, and over2300 homes destroyed. Australians of all species are suffering the most. But the fires have serious consequences for the rest of the world, too.New Zealand, one of Australia's closest neighbors, is feeling the effects of the bushfires. The most important effect of the fires might be on the country's glaciers, about which Helen Clark, New Zealand's former prime minister, tweeted: “Australian bushfires have created haze （烟雾）in New Zealand with particular impact on the South Island yesterday and now spreading more widely. Impact of ash on glaciers is likely to speed melting （融化）.” Melting glaciers could open up a future none of us wants to suffer.There's no such thing as weather that happens in isolation. As a recent Forbes article reports, fires have the potential to not only block visibility （能见度）for airplanes, grounding them, but to create pockets of hotter or colder air, or create situations where the weather is increasingly less stable （稳定的）— although no one is yet certain how far from the Australian continent those effects might wander, or how harmful they may prove to be.In addition to coal, Australia also exports all kinds of agricultural products — like beef and wool—particularly to Asian countries including China and Japan. But what happens when the land it uses to grow all that food and fiber is destroyed by fire? Obviously, no more goods to export, which creates a huge problem in the international supply chain. Thanks to globalization, pretty much no country eats only the food it grows. What happens to the global food supply as agricultural land in Australia and other export nations burns to a crisp?24. What can we learn about the Australian bushfires?A. They've left most of Australian land in flames.B. They've speeded the melting of glaciers.C. They will certainly create hotter air.D. No one is certain how harmful their effects will be on climate.25. What's the author's attitude towards the future of the global food supply?A. Doubtful.B. Objective.C. Concerned.D. Indifferent.26. What is the best title for the text?A. The Effects of the Australian Bushfires on Climate ChangeB. Australian Bushfires: a Big Disaster to the CountryC. What the Australian Bushfires Mean for the Rest of the World?D. Why the Australian Bushfires Affect the Rest of the World?CFor two centuries, the famous University of Cambridge debating society has hosted many prominent figures, from world leaders to scientists to comedians.On Nov 21, the Cambridge Union hosted another extraordinary guest—a non-human debater called Project Debater. Designed by IBM, Project Debater is a machine that uses Artificial Intelligence （AI）to form a spoken argument. It can even listen and answer to opposite statements, much like a real person.In the Cambridge test debate, it argued the topic: Al will ultimately （最终）do more harm than good. Before the debate, more than 1,100 arguments for the positives and negatives of AI were submitted （递交）to the IBM website. The machine then analyzed these sources and formed the basis of its arguments in minutes. Project Debater then showed off its AI by arguing for both sides of the debate.Over a four-minute speech, it argued first that, “AI can only make decisions that it has been programmed to solve, while humans can be programmed for all situations.”In support of AI, it then argued that AI would create new jobs and “bring a lot more efficiency” to the workplace.This isn't the first test for Project Debater. In June 2018, the machine went back-and-forth for 20 minutes against champion debater Harish Natarajan.According to New Scientist, on both occasions, Project Debater repeated points and didn't always sufficiently （充分地）support them.Speaking to Cambridge Ind ependent, Noam Slonim, the project's lead engineer, said, “The AI is not perfect, but it's going in the right direction.” The team hopes to improve the AI by researching why humans find certain arguments more persuasive than others. They also hope the test might provide well-informed viewpoints for society, governments and private companies.27. What does the underlined word “prominent” mean in paragraph one?A. Intelligent.B. Outstanding.C. Well-educated.D. Creative.28. According to the passage, Project Debater .A. can make decisions for all situationsB. argued with itself in the Cambridge test debateC. can always find enough evidence to support its ideaD. defeated champion debater Harish Natarajan in June 201829. What does Noam Slonim think of the AI?A. It's not so beneficial to humans.B. It will defeat humans in time.C. It remains to be improved.D. It will ultimately do more harm than good.30. This passage above can be most probably read in .A. a newspaperB. a guidebookC. a textbookD. a research paper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。
