Whatever stage of life you're at, wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA, you'll create positive changes in a poor and remote community.We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24. Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programmes. We have such roles as project managers, mountain leaders, and communication officers.Depending on which role you choose, you could help to increase a community's access to safe drinking water, or help to protect valuable local cultures. You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, you'll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet new people who'll become your lifelong friends.This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programmes:GDA ensures that volunteers work with community members and local project partners where our help is needed. All our projects aim to promote the development of poor and remote communities.There is no other chance like a GDA programme. Join us as a volunteer manager to develop your own skills while bringing benefits to the communities.Find out more about joining a GDA programme:Website: Email: humanresources@（1）What is the main responsibility of volunteer managers?A.To seek local partners.B.To take in young volunteers.C.To carry out programmes.D.To foster cultural awareness.（2）The programme beginning in August will operate in ______.A.EgyptB.AlgeriaC.KenyaD.South Africa （3）The shared goal of GDA's projects is to ______.A.explore new culturesB.protect the environmentC.gain corporate benefitsD.help communities in need2. In the ongoing battle between Tiger Moms, French Mamas, and everyone else who wants to know what is the best way to raise their kids, a new study adds evidence that the extreme Tiger﹣style may do more harm than good． Authoritarian parents are more likely to end up with disrespectful children with violent behaviors, the study found, compared to parents who listen to their kids with the goal of gaining trust．It was the first study to look at how parenting styles affect the way teens view their parents and, in turn, how they behave． The study considered three general styles of parenting． Authoritative parents are demanding and controlling while also being warm and sensitive to their children's needs． Authoritarian parents, on the contrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of caring, attachment and receptiveness． They take a "my way or the highway" approach to their kids． Permissive parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules．Using data on early 600 kids from an ongoing study of middle school and high school students in New Hampshire, researchers from the University of New Hampshire were able to find "my way or the highway" parenting with more violent behaviors like robbery, drug﹣taking, and attacking someone else with the intention of hurting or killing． Firm but loving parenting, on the other hand, led to fewer lawbreakers． Permissiveparenting, surprisingly, didn't seem to make much of a difference either．To explain the rink between parenting style and behavior in kids, the researchers suggested that what matters most is how reasonable kids think their parents' power is． This sense comes when kids trust that their parents are making the best decisions for them and believe that they need to do what their parents say even if they don't always like how their parents are treating them． When kids respect the power of their parents, the researchers reported in the journal of Adolescence, their behavior is better． Previous research has also linked firm but caring parenting with kids who have more self﹣control and independence．"When children consider their parents to be the reliable figure, they trust the parents and feel that they have a duty to do what their parents tell them to do, " said lead researcher Pick Trinkner． "This is very important as the parent doesn't have to rely on a system of rewards and punishments to control behavior and the child is more likely to follow the rules when the parent is not physically present．"（1）Tiger Moms and French Mamas are mentioned in the first paragraph to________．A.give an example of authoritarian parentingB.show the advantage of parentingpare two types of parentingD.introduce the topic．（2）According to the research， what kind of parenting style is likely to cause children's criminal behaviors？________A. Caring parentingB. Permissive parentingC. Authoritarian parentingD. Authoritative parenting．．（3）Which of the following probably belongs to the action of the permissive parents？________A.Allowing the kids to stay up late at weekends as the kids like．B.Beating the kids if the kids don't follow their instructions．C.Refusing to listen to the kid's requests and demands．D.Setting some rules and checking the kids' behaviors．．（4）According to the passage， children are more likely to obey the rules when________．A.their parents listen to them totallyB.they believe in and accept their parentsC.their parents are sensitive to their needsD.their parents demand and control their behaviors．3. A breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us-the ability to sense oxygen through our skin.Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo.Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals have unexpectedly beendisco vered in the skin of mice. “No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher. Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans. “We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too.” Johnson said.These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygen-a dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-la genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone even after hours of such low oxygen.These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion- dollar market, Johnson said.Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “It's hard to say what exactly might be done, however-there's a lot we don't know yet,” Johnson explained. The scienti sts detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell.（1）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Johnson believes that Oxygen sensors also exist in human skin.B.People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.C.It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases.D.It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mice's skin.（2）One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above isA.carrying-oxygen around the bodyB.improving athletes'performanceC.detecting oxygenD.increasing level of oxygen（3）What is Johnson's attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes'training?A.NegativeB.PessimisticC.PositiveD.Hesitating（4）The best title of the passage may beA.Great Findings Benefits Athletes A LotB.Frogs And Mice Are Distant RelativesC.First Known Animal Breathes Through SkinD.Humans Might Sense Oxygen Through Skin4.Humans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which are different from other cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.Time is not very important in nonindustrial（非工业的）societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such nonindustrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule（时间表）based on the clock. They cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure time not by a clock or calendar, but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event. Frequently such a society measures days in terms of "sleeps" or longer periods in terms of "moons". Some cultures, such as the Eskimos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animals.Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of "telling time". For example, when several Australian aborigines want to plan an event or a future time, one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree. Each day the angle of the sun changes slightly. In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, the people see that the agreed-upon time has arrived and the event can take place.In contrast（成对比）, exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modem, industrialized societies.This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a factory towork efficiently（well, quickly and without waste）, for example, all of the workers must work at the same time. Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers. Complicated（复杂的）societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.（1）By saying "Humans are social animals", the author means ________.A.they live all over the worldB.They are all connected in one societyC.they live in their own groups as a wholeD.they are divided into many groups（2）Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies because people in those societies ________.A.don't have the word TIME in their languagesB.don't get used to using clocks and other timepiecesC.don't measure time in their daily-lives around an exact time scheduleD.don't need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule（3）The Australian aborigines' way of "telling time" is based on ________.A.the change of the angle of the sunB.the way sunlight was reflectedC.the position of the stoneD.the position of the tree or the cliff（4）Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A.Time and CultureB.The Measurement of TimeC.Time Schedule and Daily LifeD.Clock, Calendar and Society二、七选五Is Dieting OK for Kids?You may know some adults and kids who worry about their weight and say they are going on a diet. You might wonder if you should be on a diet, too.（1）Why? Let’s find out.Dieting to Lose Weight（2） When someone diets to lose weight, the person is trying to eat fewer calories than the body uses. By doing this, the person may lose body fat and decrease his or her weight. Similarly, if a person eats more calories than the body uses, the person may gain weight.Kids usually do not need to diet in this way.（3） During this time, kids need many kinds of healthy foods to keep their bodies growing properly. Some kids are overweight, but even overweight kids often can improve their health simply by eating nutritious foods and being more active.（4） But kids may hurt their health even more by doing something drastic( 极端的), like skipping meals or deciding to eat only vegetables.Who Needs to Diet?Though some people may feel they weigh too much or too little, there is no perfect body shape. Some people have bigger bones and will always look bigger and heavier than people with smaller bones.（5）Your doctor can examine you and check your body mass index (身体质量指数). That’s a way of estimating how much body fat you have. If the doctor is concerned about your weight, he or she can recommend a couple of goals. For some kids, the doctor may recommend losing some weight, but this should be done with the doctor’s help. Kids who need to lose weight may visit with a dietitian who can explain how to reduce calories safely while still getting all the necessary nutrients.A.It is important to form a good eating habit.B.Being overweight can cause health problems.C.Not eating properly can be very harmful to kids.D.Unlike adults, kids are still growing and developing.E.Talk to your doctor if you have questions about your weight.F.All foods and many drinks contain calories, a kind of energy.G.However, most of kids do not need to and should not diet this way.三、完形填空I took my 10-year-old daughter to the Hollywood sign last week.On clear days,we can see it from our house,and we've always talked about hiking there.We've gotten better at these sorts of _______ .

第一部分：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）AAn 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son.Suddenly a crow（乌鸦）perched on the tree near their window.The father asked his son, “What is this? ”The son replied, “It is a crow.”After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you It’s a crow. ”After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this? ”“It’s a crow, a crow, a crow.” said the son loudly.A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?”This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel annoyed; I rather felt affection for my innocent child. ”1. In what tone did the son say to his Father “It’s a crow, a crow, a crow.”?A. impatientB. excitedC. hurriedD. surprised2. Why did the Father ask the same question again and again?A. Because he wanted to make his son angry.B. Because he was too old to remember anything.C. Because he couldn't understand what his son said.D. Because he wanted to see how patient his son would be.3. How old was the old man when his son asked him 23 times “What is this”?A. 35 years old.B. 38 years old.C. 45 years old.D. 80 years old.4. What is the most suitable title for the passage?A. A crow.B. Father's love.C. An old dairy.D. An old manBJohn H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Fortunately he had a strong-willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.” She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success, ”she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing hard work don’t mean every thing. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here Joh n could go to school, and here he learned the power of words—as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School his wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by.“Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mothe r’s words in mind. “ Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America—worth $ 150 million.5. John’s mother decided to move to Chicago because _____.A. his father died when John was very youngB. life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometownC. John needed more education badlyD. there were no schools for Negroes in their hometown6. John’s mother ____________.A. didn’t believe in or depend on othersB. thought one could be whatever one wanted to beC. believed one would succeed without working hardD. thought no one could succeed without working hard7. The underlined sentence “Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”means _____.A. if you try, you would succeedB. a failure is difficult to beat, even if you tryC. a try is always followed by a failureD. no failure can be beaten unless you tryCThe biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a backpacking trip is how to ensure a steady suppl y of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.The portable(可携带的) washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in xx, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he quitted his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By xx, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was in instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a disadvantage with his invention—dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two or three liters（升） of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure（确保）all air is squeezed（挤压）out and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly so cks! What’s even more amazing is that with a capacity（容量）to hold 13-liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is pletely foldable（折叠），making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!8. What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Pack?A. His job requirementsB. a traditional washboardC. His interest in inventionD. His personal experience9. Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?A. Clothes couldn’t be washed well.B. The invention was not so convenient.C. The bag couldn’t contain enough water.D. The cost of the invention was very high..10. It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack ________.A. turns to be much environmentally friendlierB. will replace the traditional washing machinesC. will be widely used by more travelers in the futureD. can encourage more people to travel a long distance11. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To introduce a great new invention.B. To explain the development of backpackC. To list some mon problems for travelersD. To pare two kinds of washing machinesDWhat do you think about the very first thing in the morning? Your thoughts during the first half-hour of the morning will greatly influence the entire day. You may not realize this, but it is a fact. If you set out with worry and depression, you are giving the key note to a day of discord (混乱) and misfortune. If you think about hope and happiness, you are sounding a note of harmony and success.Control your morning thoughts. The first moment on waking, no m atter what your mood is, say to yourself, “I will get all the fort and pleasure possible out of this day, and I will do something to add to the measure of the world’s happiness or well-being. I will control myself when caused to be unhappy. I will look for the bright side of every event”. Once you say these things over to yourself in a calm way, you will begin to feel more cheerful. The worries and troubles of the ing day will give way.Do not let it discourage you if the moment you leave your room you e across a trouble or a disaster which usually happens. When a schoolboy boasts (吹嘘) of his strength, and says he can “beat any boy in school in games”, he generally gets a chance to prove it.

2020-2021学年江苏省南京市高一(上)段考英语试卷(10月份)(附答案详解)
2020-2021学年江苏省南京市高一（上）段考英语试卷（10月份）一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AThis story happened when I was in Saint Lucia with my family.My sister,Diana,who also happens to be my best friend and one of the funniest and kindest people I know,went blind in one eye about 9 years ago.Diana sometimes feels concerned about the way her eye looks now.The pupil（瞳孔）is no longer black；it's sort of "glows" in photos.Diana recently purchased a special contact lens（隐形镜片）that makes her eye look like it did before it changed color,but she doesn't wear this lens often because it becomes quite painful after about an hour.One night during our holiday,a hotel photographer was taking pictures of the guests as they entered the area set up for dinner.Diana casually said if she had known there were going to be pictures taken to capture this special memory,she would have worn her contact lens so her eye wouldn't be so shiny in the picture.The next day,I was sitting with Diana and her husband Ted.While we were talking,the photographer who had been at the dinner the night before,handed her a photo,leaned in and quietly said,"I matched the color of your eyes in the picture."As he walked away,my sister happily said to me and Ted,"Look!He fixed my eye！" The photographer stopped.He turned around and walked back to our table.He put his hand on Diana's shoulder,leaned in again and gently said,"Just to be clear：I didn't fix your eye.There isn't anything wrong with your eye.I simply matched the color."Her eyes filled up with tears.It was very healing for her heart to hear these beautiful words.It didn't take much time but made so much difference.It helped her change the way she feels about herself.I have always loved the quote："The world is full of good people.If you can't find one,be one！" Your acts of kindness can impact the world in profound ways!1.My sister bought a contact lens in order to ______ .A. keep the pupil comfortableB. show off the beautiful color of her pupilC. protect her eye from the strong sunlightD. avoid the pupil being too bright and shiny2.Diana felt ______ when she knew there was a photo taken for the dinner.A. excitedB. proudC. regretfulD. shocked3.What's the best title of the passage？______A. A Shiny PupilB. A Considerate PhotographerC. The Act of Kindness CountsD. The Contact Lens Makes a DifferenceBWashing habits have changed over the years.In the 16th century,most people had a bath once a month...if they were lucky.Up until the 1950s,it was once a week.Only just recently has the concept of daily showering become popular.But now,according to the New York Times,things are changing again.The latest trend is known as "soap-dodging". It basically consists of washing less,having fewer showers and using less soap."I just wash my hair once a month now," said Brett Dawson,a32-year-old management consultant."I have just one bath a week," said Miriam Bayliss,a28-year-old accountant.And it appears to be growing in popularity.A poll last year for tissue manufacturer SCA found that 41% of British men and 33% of women don't shower every day.And 12% of people have a proper wash just once or twice a week.Further research by Mintel found that more than half of British teenagers don't wash every day—with many opting for a quick spray of deodorant（除臭剂）to mask any smell.But why？There are a variety of reasons.Some claim that daily hair-washing is mentator Matthew admitted that he hadn't shampooed his hair for a decade.Others say they just don't have the time.In 2008，the chemist Boots reported a 45% rise in sales of dry shampoo—a product that can be sprayed on hair between showers.And some people want to help the environment."I limit my showers to about twice a week," said Nigel Hamerstone,a 42-year-old architect."The rest of the time I have a sink wash." he adds,"I believe that I'm as clean as everyone else,and it's helped get my water consumption down to around 20 litres a day—well below the 100 to 150 average in the UK."So,will you be joining the new "washing revolution"？4.Before the 1950s,how often did people have a bath？______A. Never.B. Every day.C. Frequently.D. Once in a while.5.What does "It" refer to in Paragraph 2？______A. Soap-dodging.B. Taking a shower.C. Washing hair.D. The washing habit.6.Why does Nigel Hamerstone limit his showers to twice a week？______A. To save his time.B. To avoid the trouble.C. To save water resources.D. To cut the cost of living.CWhat is technology doing to language？Many assume the answer is simple：ruining it.Kids can no longer write except in text-speak.Grammar is going to the dogs.The ability to compose thoughts longer than a post is nguage experts tend to resist it,noting that there is little proof that speech is really degenerating，nor is formal writing falling apart.A study by Cambridge Assessment found almost no evidence for text-speak in students' writing. Fortunately,the story of language and the Internet has attracted more serious analysts,too.Now Gretchen McCulloch,a journalist of the generation that grew up with the Internet,joins them with a new book,Because Internet,which focuses on what can be learned about language from the Internet.Biologists grow bacteria in a Petri dish partly because they are born and reproduce so quickly that studies over many generations can be done in a reasonably shortperiod.Studying language online is a bit like that：trends appear and disappear,platforms rise and fall,and these let linguists（语言学家）observe changes that would otherwise take too much time.For example,why do languages change？A thousand years ago,early English and Icelandic were closely related.English has since developed hugely,and Icelandic far less.Linguists have studied the relative effects of strong and weak ties（friends,family）in such patterns,concluding that small communities would host more stable languages.The Internet combines strong and weak ties—and sure enough,drives more language change.In the end,Ms McCulloch's book is about the birth of a new medium rather than a new language.Mass reading has now been joined by mass writing：frequent,error-filled and quick-fading.Little surprise that Internet users have created tools to give their writing the gesture,playfulness and even meaninglessness of chat.Mistaking it for the downfall of "real"writing is a category error.Anything that helps people enjoy each other's company can only be a good thing.7.What does the underlined word "degenerating" in Paragraph 1 refer to？______A. Strengthening.B. Worsening.C. Changing.D. Refreshing.8.Why are bacteria in a Petri dish mentioned in Paragraph 2？______A. To explain bacteria have a short lifetime.B. To stress the difficulty of researching language online.C. To reveal the relation between language and the Internet.D. To show online language can be studied in limited time.9.What contributes to the fast development of English？______A. A large English-speaking population.B. The lasting effect of mass media.C. A stable language-using community.D. The wide application of the Internet.10.What's the author's attitude to online language？______A. Ambiguous.B. Positive.C. Objective.D. Cautious.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）A Diet Without Enough Protein Can Cause Depression Depression is a condition so common.(1) The World Health Organization（WHO）calls it "a leading cause of disability".Difficulty in falling asleep,loss of appetite,and loss of ability to concentrate are just a few of the other effects of depression.While life events such as the loss of a spouse or a job may create a happening of depression,many cases come from within,such as people's diet.As is reported,both before and during a happening of depression,those with the condition show a "poor appetite". (2) On the other hand,depression may be closely related to protein.Many cases of depression happen to those who don't eat properly,which then results in lack of protein taken into the body.(3) It all comes down to amino acids（氨基酸）.Proteins are made up of amino acids.Both the human brain and nervous system use amino acids as a substance that creates a signal from one brain cell to another or one nerve cell to another.With them communication between the cells becomes possible.(4) But eight of them,the "essential" ones for communication between the brain cells,must beeaten in one's diet.So a diet which is lacking in protein lessens the signal being sent from one brain cell to the next during a thought.The process can lead to twisted signals,which can not only lead to depression,but also aggression. (5)A.It happens with aggression.B.It may lead to serious effects.C.But how lack of protein occurs？D.There are 20 different amino acids.E.But what does protein have to do with depression？F.The poor appetite itself can create a depressed mood.G.This is why depression can often express itself as anger or aggression.11.

Daily news．2.Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend's house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call "first night effect". They believe that one side of the brain acts as a "night watch" to warn us about potential dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment.For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.The findings suggest that the different rhythms（节奏）of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can't relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in daytime."At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you are not aware of the analysis," US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine. "If something unusual happens—if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock—you can be alert（警醒的）."More surprisingly, this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its corresponding eye staying open.The researchers think that it is the result of evolution, and works to protect us in potentially dangerous environments.If you have ever had what you think is "first night effect", researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.（1）What did the new study published in Current Biology find?A.A comfortable bed could help people sleep well in a new environment.B.Most people could sleep well in a new environment after the first night.C.Brain activities affected people's sleep in a new environment.D.The right brain determined how well people slept in a new environment.（2）What was found out about the volunteers?A.Their left brains were more active on the first night.B.Their right brains became more active as days went by.C.Their right brains kept them awake the whole night.D.They slept better in the sleep lab than at home.（3）What do the researchers think makes the brain sensitive to new things?A.The bad sleep experiences people have had.B.The tiredness that people suffer from in daytime.C.The imbalance between the two sides of the brain.D.The strangeness of the things that people come across.（4）What do the researchers think of "first night effect"?A.It has evolved as a way to protect us.B.It's a characteristic that animals don't have.C.It's completely different from the way animals sleep.D.It helps people get used to new environments quickly.3.The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say "sunshine". I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C（维生素C）, thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part—particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables—was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened（蔓上成熟的）promise, I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal—and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where—luckily for me—I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.（1）What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A.Exciting.B.Boring.C.Relaxing.D.Annoying.（2）What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?A.Having a swim.B.Breathing in fresh air.C.Walking in the morning sun.D.Visiting a local farmers' market.（3）What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A.They are soft.B.They look nice.C.They taste great.D.They are juicy.（4）What was the author going to do that evening?A.Go to a farm.B.Check into a hotel.C.Eat in a restaurant.D.Buy fresh vegetables.4. The comebackFausto Ruiz got off the boat at the port of the city where he was born fifty years ago, and to which he had been away for twenty years. There were lots of new buildings up on the hills around the city now, buildings which he didn’t recognize. Yet many of the old buildings were exactly the same, although many of the old shops were there no more.He walked up the main road and saw that there was still one small cafè there which was the same as it had been. Walking into the cafè, he recognized the owner behind the bar as well as the waiter working there. They both looked much, much older. Fausto felt certain that he didn’t look as old as they did, even though they were all twenty years older now.Fausto sat at a table and waited. He raised his arm and shouted to the waiter, then to the owner behind the bar, but it was useless. They didn’t come and ask him what he wanted. They were ignoring him.Angry, Fausto got up and walked out of the cafè. Such ignorant people, he thought. Now I remember why I left this town twenty years ago, and why I never came back.He walked along the main street as far as the main square in the town, and when he arrived there he remembered the other reason why he had never come back. In the main square there was the theatre. He had a terrible memory of what happened there twenty years ago.Twenty years ago, Fausto Ruiz was the most famous singer in the world. He had sung in all of the most famous opera houses in the world. Everywhere he went, people paid large sums of money for tickets. When they saw him sing they clapped and applauded and cheered. When he was at the height of his fame, Fausto decided to come back and held a concert in the theatre.The concert was announced, and all the tickets sold out within a few hours. Thousands of people crowded into the theatre to see the legendary Fausto Ruiz sing in the theatre.There was silence as Fausto walked onto the stage. Then he began to sing, one of his best known songs. And at the end of the song, there was just silence. Fausto waited, very surprised for a moment, and then started to sing another song. At the end of this song, there was silence for a moment. Then the people began to boo, and to hiss. Fausto tried to cover the noise by singing another song, very loudly this time. But it got worse. The louder he sang, the louder the boos and hisses became. Soon, there was a rain of rotten fruit and vegetables and smelly old shoes falling down. Fausto was extremely angry. He stormed off the stage and out of the theatre. He left his hometown that night, and he said that he would never, ever go back there ever again.Now, he decided to walk into the theatre. As he walked in he saw it was the same man selling tickets in the box office. Fausto said hello to him but the man said nothing and ignored him. “Still the same” thought Fausto. He felt sad, and left the theatre and decided to see the house where he had been born.He walked all the way across the town, expecting to be recognized by people. He saw some men in the park, who were the same age as he was, and he remembered them. They were his friends when he was at school. He walked over to them to say hello, but they, too, ignored him.He was so angry and so disappointed that he began to shout, “I a m the great Fausto Ruiz!!!The greatest singer the world has ever heard!!!” Nobody took any notice of him.When he finally reached his old house, he at least had a pleasant surprise. Outside the house, there was a statue （雕塑）, and it was a statue of himself. “Finally!” thought Fausto, “Somebody has recognized my genius!”Fausto went to have a closer look. There was some writing at the bottom of the statue. “Fausto Ruiz” it said, “Singer”. Fausto was disappointed that it did not say “the greatest singer in the world”, but at least it was a statue. There was some more writing. He looked carefully at it. There was his date of birth, fifty years ago. And then there was something else. It was another date, and it was yesterday. …It was the date of his death.（1）When he returned home twenty years later, Fausto Ruiz really expected________.A.to see the great changes in his hometownB.that the people as old as him could remember who he wasC.that the people could still appreciate his singingD.to tell the people there that he could still recognize them（2）Which of the following directly caused him to leave his hometown?A.His singing in the most famous opera houses in the world.B.Too much admiration for him and his singing.C.What the people did to him in the theater.D.His willingness to be famous all over the whole world.（3）The underlined sentence “Then the people began to boo, and to hiss” shows that the people there________.A.thought highly of him and his singingB.became very excited when hearing him singingC.were ignoring him and his singingD.were extremely disappointed in him and his singing（4）We can say that Fausto Ruiz is________according to the story.A.open-minded and humorousB.ignorant and stupidC.lively and cheerfulD.sensitive and proud二、七选五阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Though it seems helpful, the proposal is out of the realities.Firstly, the deputy believed that shorter vacations could alleviate (缓解) parents’ burden of caring for their children at home and offer families more opportunities to travel together. However, the general consensus (共识) is that most parents are often so busy trying to make enough money to provide for their children’s education and household costs that they don’t even have enough time to keep their kids company, let alone to be able to take their kids on vacation.Secondly, each of the breaks will only last for about three weeks. Even though this is generally a long enough time for students to go to tutoring centers (培训机构) if their parents pay extra attention to their children’s studies, they may end up finding themselves continuously having to shift between a busy school term and a more relaxed period of time off. While this may help to prevent children from playing with their mobile phones or video games, is it really necessary to create new term system (体系) to do so? As the saying goes, “Penny wise and pound foolish.”Moreover, as some netizens have mentioned, the main purpose of winter and summer vacations is to give students more time to celebrate the Spring Festival and to escape the summer heat. Not only do longer vacations spare many students the efforts of travelling from home to school, but they also offer chances for them to do things with long-lasting positive effects, such as volunteering in the community or joining in overseas exchanges.In a word, there is still a long way to go to improve the vacation system before a better option turns up. So what we students need to do for now is just make the best of our vacation time and prepare ourselves for the future terms.4．Why did the deputy make the new proposal?A．To pay more attention to children’s learning.B．To encourage children to relax themselves.C．To increase parents-children caring and love.D．To greatly reduce children’s learning burden.5．If kids have shorter vacations, they may ________.A．have more time to learn their school subjectsB．find their study and rest both poorly affectedC．feel more relaxed and will do better in new termsD．not be interested in phones or computer games6．Which “spare” of the following sentences shares the same meaning with the underlined “spare” (para 4)?A．I tried to spare Tom the trouble of coming late for school.B．Whenever our guests come, we have some free rooms to spare.C．I have decided that I will spare no effort to improve my English.D．It’s good and wonderful of you to spare time to come to see me.7．The author thinks the proposal is ________.A．valuable B．charming C．unpractical D．challengingBirds have nostrils on their beaks (喙) that can help them smell all kinds of things. When animals breathe air, they can also breathe in different smells.The nose can pick up on smells and send information to the brain by the olfactory system. We have an olfactory system, too. This system can help animals understand the world through a sense of smell.Maybe you’ve used your olfactory system to smell your breakfast, lunch, and dinner or you’re your new school books.Birds can also use their olfactory systems to sniff out food. The kiwi bird uses its long beak to dig into the dirt. Its nostrils are on the outside and very tip of its beak. It’s thought that they use that sense of smell to pick up chemicals (化学物质) emitted by their food — grubs, worms, and other things that are in the ground.One bird of prey that has a really great sense of smell are turkey vultures. Vultures are scavengers, meaning they eat dead animals. They have a fantastic sense of smell. They use their nose to pick up chemicals from things that are decaying (腐烂). Turkey vultures have one of the strongest senses of smells among birds. They have been known to smell food that was over a mile away.But albatrosses, which can have wingspans around ten feet, have been known to sniff out food from even greater distances — about 12 miles away. These seabirds can pick up chemicalsfrom dead fish or groups of fish. They can even sense the smell that krill give off when they are eaten by fish. That helps them find the fish via the krill.While a sens e of smell is helpful for birds, it isn’t the only useful or even sometimes the strongest sense — they also use their senses of hearing, sight, and taste. The next time you watch your chickens, or other birds in the neighborhood, maybe you can observe how they use all these senses.8．The first three paragraphs try to tell us ________.A．animals can send information by smellingB．birds use their beaks to get to know the worldC．we are fond of smelling things that interest usD．the sense of smell is very important to animals9．Which of the following are big birds with a stronger sense of smell?A．Kiwi birds.

A divorce (离婚), losing my house, then the loss of my job right before the holidays… and now the check for my car insurance had bounced!Leaving the bank, I wondered what I would do. My unemployment (失业) checks were delayed, and everything seemed to be piling up. How long could I last without money? How I missed my parents in the faraway Los Angeles, whom I had not seen for five years.December in Michigan meant it was not only dark, but cold and snowy. Despite (尽管) that, I had an urge to take a walk on my favorite trail. Being cold and dark also meant there was a good chance no one else would be out, so I decided to go.On the trail, I was grateful for sounds of rushing water coming from the little river. Theycovered my soft sobs while I walked. Tonight, it all felt like too much to bear.Eventually, when my tears dried up, I headed home. Approaching my apartment (公寓) door, I noticed something bulky hanging on the it. Probably another bill, I thought. While I struggled with my boots, I could see a card with my name on it through the clear plastic bag. Reaching in, I took out a very small, white envelope. Inside the envelope was a beautiful card with no name written on it, but it was stuffed with gift cards --- hundreds of dollars of gift cards that could meet my urgent needs!I was in shock and awe. The timing of this amazing anonymous (匿名的) gift, arriving at exactly the right moment, was almost too much to comprehend. Again, I began crying, but now they were tears of joy. I felt so loved.I would go to Los Angeles tomorrow!12．What happened to the author?A．Something was wrong with her check. B．She had to sell her car for lack of money.
