Brad Hassig was doing underwater exercise at his home swimming pool, something he said he’d done numerous times before. “We were just swimming. The boys were having fun. I like to do just some calming, breathing exercises in the waters, which involves just sitting underwater,” Hassig said. “I don’t ever remember finishing it.”Hassig’s 10-year old twin sons Bridon and Christian, as well as an 11 year old neighbor named Sam, were in the pool with him, enjoying the water, when they noticed something was wrong with their dad, who had turned a blue color. They quickly jumped into action, dragging their 185-pound father above water and toward the side of the pool.“They weigh 80 pounds around, and I weigh 185 pounds. So they should’ t have been able to physically do what they did,” Hassig said. “I mean everything just went as perfectly as it probably had to have.”Although the boys had no formal CPR (心肺复苏术) training, they remembered what they had seen in the movies. They started chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth and Christian and Sam also ran for help after the boys couldn’t unlock their dad’s phone.When Hassig came to life, he said he heard his sons calling out to him. “I hear the boys saying, you know, ‘Daddy, come back!’ ‘Daddy, you have to be OK!’ ” he recalled.Hassig and his sons’ experience calls to mind another recent close call when synchronized swimmer Anita Alvarez lost consciousness during competition and had to be pulled to the surface by her coach, Andrea Fuentes.Since the incident, Hassig has told others to never swim alone and the family urges people to learn how to do CPR. They’re planning a local, community-wide CPR event for kids and adults to get proper training.4．What were the boys doing when their dad got into trouble?A．They were swimming for fun.B．They were calling their neighbour.C．They were making preparations for swimming.D．They were cleaning the home swimming pool.5．What difficulty did the boys have when saving their father?A．They couldn’t pull their father.B．They couldn’t use their father’s phone.C．They didn’t know how to perform CPR.D．They were too frightened to run for help.6．What does Hassig advise people to do after the incident?A．Do underwater exercise before swimming.B．Make sure to swim with companions for safety.C．Never swim alone before getting the formal training.D．Turn to a swimming coach when meeting a similar situation.7．Which of the following can best describe the boys?A．Professional and kind.B．Cooperative and generous. C．Enthusiastic and smart.D．Courageous and calm.Thousands of emperor penguins pack together on the ice of Atka Bay in Antarctica, mostly unaware that among them lives a 3-foot-tall autonomous robot called ECHO. The birds occasionally notice the unmanned and remote controlled ground vehicle out of curiosity but quickly move on from the object, which acts like a mobile antenna(天线)for an observatory monitoring about 300 of them each year.Penguins dominate the South Pole, but the climate crisis could threaten their very existence. A study published last year reported 98% of the emperor penguin population could all but disappear by 2100 due to the impact of climate crisis in Antarctica. “As top predators, emperor penguins serve as ideal species to study in an unsteady ecosystem,” said Zitterbart, associate scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.Surprisingly little is known about these penguins because Antarctica isn’t the easiest place for scientists to access. Although it’s crucial to learn more about the penguins and their ecosystem, Zitterbart and his team didn’t want to introduce a harmful human footprint in an already vulnerable environment or negatively affect the colony.A successful trial run of ECHO this year is already showing how that may be possible.Since 2017, Zitterbart and other researchers have been tagging 300 penguin chicks with a system similar to how dogs and cats are microchipped. But the small sensors worn by the penguins don’t have their own power supply, so they can only be read from about a meter or two away.That’s where ECHO comes in. The robot acts like a receiving station with wireless receivers, automatically collecting data from the penguins’ sensors. With ECHO, the researchers don’t miss out on a chance to collect data when the birds return to the colony to feed their chicks and no longer have to search through a crowd of 20,000 birds to find the tagged ones because ECHO picks up on them automatically.Tracking the penguins allows the team to determine where the penguins go when they dive off the sea ice into the ocean and understand their food hunting strategies. “In the next stage, we will extend ECHO’s data collection to include penguins’ reproductive behaviors that scientists haven’t been able to collect before,” said Zitterbart.8．What’s emperor penguins’ reaction to ECHO?A．Defensive B．Frightened.C．Undisturbed.D．Unfriendly. 9．What does “that” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Cutting carbon dioxide emission in Antarctica.B．Studying penguins without polluting the land.C．Having access to more knowledge about Antarctica.D．Involving more scientists in studying emperor penguins.10．What is the team likely to study about emperor penguins in the future?A．How they produce young.B．Where they search for food.C．When they dive into the deep sea.D．Why they can survive the extreme cold.11．What can be the best title for the text?A．Emperor penguins are dying out.B．Uncover more mystery of penguins.C．Technology brings life back to Antarctica.D．Meet the robot in the Antarctic penguin colony.Interest in sleep tourism is increasing, with a number of establishments focusing their attention on those suffering from sleep deprivation.Over the past 12 months, Park Hyatt New York has opened the Bryte Restorative Sleep Suite, a 900-square-foot suite filled with sleep-enhancing amenities(设施),while Rosewood Hotels &. Resorts recently launched a collection of retreats called the Alchemy of Sleep, which are designed to “promote rest”, and Swedish manufacturer Hastens established the world’s first Hastens Sleep Spa Hotel, a 15-room boutique hotel a year later.Dr Rebecca Robbins, a sleep researcher and co-author of the book Sleep for Success! believes this shift has been a long time coming, particularly with regards to hotels. “When it comes down to it, travelers book hotels for a place to sleep,” she says, before pointing out that the hotel industry has primarily been focused on things that actually detract from sleep in the past. “People often associate travel with luxury meals, postponing their bed times, the attractions and the things you do while you’re traveling, really almost at the cost of sleep,” she adds.According to Dr Robbins, travel experiences centered around “healthy sleep strategies” that aim to supply guests with the tools they need to improve their sleep can be hugely beneficial, provided a reputable medical or scientific expert is involved in some way to help to deter- mine whether there may be something else at play.Mandarin Oriental in Geneva has taken things a step further by teaming up with CENAS, a private medical sleeping clinic in Switzerland, to curate a three-day program that studies guests’ sleeping patterns in order to identify potential sleeping disorders.As sleep tourism continues to grow, Dr Robbins says she’s looking forward to seeing “who really continues to pioneer and think creatively about this space”, stressing that thereare countless means that haven’t been fully explored yet when it comes to travel and the science of sleep.12．What is the main purpose of paragraph 2?A．To list the consequences of sleep deprivation.B．To prove the popularity of some hotels.C．To highlight the importance of quality sleep.D．To provide evidence for the rise of sleep tourism.13．What does the underlined phrase “detract from” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Benefit.B．Influence.C．Measure.D．Analyze. 14．What is special about Mandarin Oriental in Geneva?A．It sets up a private medical sleeping clinic in its hotel.B．It suggests some good and scientific sleeping bedding.C．It provides special tour route for people with sleeping disorders.D．It offers professionally medical help in sleeping problems.15．What does Dr Robbins probably think of the sleep tourism?A．It’s promising.B．It meets some doubts.C．It is facing bottleneck.D．It needs to be systematized.二、七选五Becoming more optimistic can help you see people, situations and tasks with a more positive outlook. ___16___However, optimism is actually an ability that individuals can choose to develop.

2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟英语试卷（信息卷（四））-学生用卷一、阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2.5分，共25分）1、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟（A篇）第21~24题10分(每题2.5分)For children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad out comes—it is also about developing good ones. Several studies have looked at the long—term effects eating with families has on children. Experts say that these studies do not seem to prove a cause-and-effect relationship. However, they do suggest a strong TAL#NBSP correlation.About three years ago, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development（OECD）looked at data from nearly three quarters of the world's countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with their families were less likely to skip school.Children who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to be badly-behaved. That is a finding of a study by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse（CASA）at Columbia University in New York. In the CASA report, titled"The Importance of Family Dinners Ⅷ, researchers say, "Teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about what's really going on in their lives…" They also claim that when tens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to behave badly.Another study from the University of Mont real found that children who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits. These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugar soft drinks. They also seemed to have better social skills.One researcher, Linda Pagani says that there is "a handful of research suggesting a positive link between eating family meals together frequently and child and adolescent health". Pagani says that meal times shared with parents " likely provide young children with first hand social interaction, discussions of social affairs and day-to-day concerns". She adds that they may likely help the children have better communication skills with others.(1) What does the underlined word " TAL#NBSP correlation" mean?A. effectB. causeC. outcomeD. tie(2) In which aspect can eating together influence children according to the OECD?A. Academic performance.B. Physical health.C. Mental health.D. Social skills.(3) How do children benefit from eating family meals together according to Pagani?A. By having healthy food and drinks.B. By forming good eating habits.C. By becoming more social.D. By understanding their parents' life.(4) What is mainly talked about in the passage?A. Easy tips on eating family meals.B. Benefits of family dinners to children.C. Links between eating together and child health.D. Findings of studies about enjoying family dinners.2、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟（B篇）第25~27题7.5分(每题2.5分)People in Mayilattumpara, a village in southwest India, could not sleep at night. Because of habitat （栖息地）loss, wild elephants would enter their village for food, destroying crops and farmland. The villagers tried to keep the wild elephants out with electric fenced, deep holes and plants believed to keep the animals away. They even tried beating drums. Nothing worked! The repeated destruction of crops led some villagers to stop farming.The villagers' lot improved last year. That is because villagers have found what keeps the elephants away: honey bees. Elephants, it turns out, are afraid of bees making loud sounds and their stings（蜇刺）.A wire fence holding beehives（蜂房）now runs along the border of the village. When elephants try to pass the 2.5-kilometer wire fence, angry bees fly out in groups and the elephants quickly flee, people in the village say. Protected by the bees, farmers have returned to growing their crops. Some even started to raise honey bees.The idea started in Africa. V. S. Roy worked for the federal government's Agriculture Technology Management Agency （ATMA）. He said the idea for the fence came from the work of an Oxford University researcher, Lucy King. In 2008, King successfully tested whether honey bees would keep elephants away from areas in Kenya. Researchers in Tanzania had the same success. Roy wondered, "If itcould（work）in the African forest, why couldn't it in the Kerala forest? " So, he worked with the farmers' association in Mayilattumpara to start the experiment.The results of this experiment have encouraged farmers from other areas to try similar projects. The government also has been working to settle conflict between humans and elephants by reducing deforestation and improving the elephants' natural habitat.(1) What does the author mean by saying "The villagers' lot improved last year"?A. Elephants' living conditions got better.B. The villagers began to raise honey bees.C. The villagers were spared from crop destruction.D. There was no need for elephants to destroy crops.(2) Where was the idea of keeping elephants away first tested?A. In Kenya.B. In Kerala.C. In Tanzania.D. In Mayilattumpara.(3) What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Some farmers try doing research.B. The government has settled the conflict.C. Villagers are partly to blame for crop destruction.D. Climates led to the loss of elephants' natural habitat.3、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟（C篇）第28~30题7.5分(每题2.5分)Computers are increasingly competing against humans to see whether man or the machine is more intelligent. In the latest show of artificial intelligence or AI, a computer went up against humans in live, public debates. The de bates—held in San Francisco—provided a new example of how computers are fast improving to think and sound more like humans.An AI system developed by major technology company IBM participated in the event. It is called Project Debater. IBM said it is the first time ever that an AI system has competed in a live, public debate with humans. Two separate debates were held between a computer and two human debaters.The company preselected possible subjects for discussion, but said neither the computer nor the humans knew the chosen subject before the debate. The discussions were set up in a similar way to most political debates. After preparing arguments, both sides got the chance to present a four-minute opening statement. Then came four- minute rebuttals（反驳）, followed by closing statements.In one debate, IBM's computer battled Noa Ovadia, a former national debate champion. The AI system made a case in favor of the government subsidizing（补贴）space research. It pulled in evidence from its huge supply of information from newspapers, journals and other source. Ovadia took the opposite position, arguing that the government could better serve the people by providing financial assistance to programs other than space exploration.Following closing statements from both sides, reporters and other attendees gave their opinions on the results. IBM reported that a majority of those who watched the debate said they believed Project Debater had improved their knowledge of the subject more than the human debater. On the other hand, the human debater got praise for better communicating her ideas.(1) Why was the debate between man and the computer held?A. To introduce a new product of IBMB. To stress the latest development of computers.C. To show whether man or the computer is smarter.D. To discover public views about space research.(2) What's the audience's view about the debate?A. Each side has its own advantaged.B. Neither side has performed well.C. The computer has better communication skills.D. Ovadia has beaten the computer.(3) What might be talked about next?A. disadvantaged of the debaters.B. Something about the second debate.C. More views about the debates.D. Lessons learned from the debates.二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）4、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟第31~35题10分(每题2分)2018~2019学年河南南阳高二下学期期中第36~40题10分A House warming PartyA house warming party is special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house.

Even if there isn't a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like, a piece of art or a plant.3This is often appreciated since at a housewarming party there isn't a lot of food served, usually just appetizers or sandwiches.4The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into a new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. This isn't usual though.Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift so that the person could keep the home warm for thewinter.5A. You can also bring food or drinks to share.B. Different activities are held to make guests satisfied.C. There are usually no planned activities at a housewarming party.D. Now most homes replace fires with central heating to keep warm.E. Different people hold or attend house warming parties for various reasons.F. Some people register a list of things they need for their new home at local store.G. The party is an opportunity for friends and family to congratulate the person or people on the new home.三、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分）5、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟第36~55题30分(每题1.5分)You never know how far a kind act can go.

sourced food.But that_____37_____generally disappears when it comes to flying.We can't rely on international___38_____to stop aviation emission either.Yes,the UN has fixed up a deal to cap aviation emissions beyond2020.But it lacks real bite,allowing airlines to continue emitting carbon provided they offset(抵消)it.All this means we could really do with green tech riding to the rescue.Here,at

or phrases marked A, B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In summarising the state of the planet—rising population,widespread conflict,one-sixth of the planet suffering extreme poverty and hunger,global warming一Jeffrey Sachs,author of"The Common Wealth、can paint a terrible picture.However,he's an_____41_____and believes that all of these problems can be overcome in relatively straightforward ways and at relatively little cost.That's because the root causes are interconnected and_____42_____ man-made.Take child morality(死亡).Perhaps surprisingly,the higher the child morality rate is,the higher the birth rate.This leads to a_____43_____population which puts a greater stress on already scarce resources,so farmers have to work harder to produce enough food for all, which means children are often put to work in the fields or at home.This,_____44_____, stops children getting the education which will allow them to learn,among other things,about better farming techniques to increase crop yields and provide more food to eat and sell.Sachs argues that the_____45_____of providing every child in poverty with an anti-mosquito bed net is a major first step.Malaria(疟疾)is a huge cause of death in children and the bed nets massively_____46_____infections.The fewer children that die of malaria,the more secure parents feel about their children surviving.The more secure parents feel,the fewer children they have,and so on,revising the_____47__trend just described.However,it is_____48_____a combination of measures at the same time that truly makes a difference:free school meals improve school attendance and health;supplying fertilisers to improve soil and better seeds provides even better harvests;basic health care and clean water supplies_____49_____more fatal diseases.These ideas are already being_____50_____implemented in over100African villages in underdeveloped regions.The cost of the proj ect is just$10per person per year,of which 50%comes from donors and the rest from a mixture of local and national governments and the villagers themselves.So if it's so_____51_____,why hasn't it been done before?What about all the aid that has been given to Africa and the underdeveloped countries of the world?Has it been lost to corruption（腐败）?Sachs argues that the real problem is not corruption,but the fact that rich governments have_____52_____such a lot,but actually given so little.They agreed to give 0.7%of national income in aid,but only five countries have met that_____53_____.He suggests current aid is$24billion per year,which translates as just ten dollars per person—not nearly enough to implement the_____54_____measures.So while Sachs sees an opportunity to end poverty forever,he also raises an

unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）I'm in Marrakech,the heart of Morocco at the base of the Atlas Mountains,with my son, Sam.He's eight.We've come here with Mohamed,a friend who owns a store in our New York neighborhood.We're regular customers at Mohamed's store,where Sam can often be found negotiating with his friend.When they're not bargaining,they're chatting about swords,or camels,or the desert."You need to come to Marrakech,"Mohamed told me.I'll show you around and teach Sam how to really get a bargain!”So here we are.We meet up with Mohamed over a cup of tea at a table outside the tiny Cafe ben Youssef, deep in the old city of Marrakech.We're sitting in an area bordering the stalls of the marketplace.Vendors(小贩)with carts offer freshly squeezed orange juice,others sell dates or figs.Nearby are the workshops that supply the goods to this world-famous market.Later,as we walk around,Mohamed begins the first of his bargaining tutorials for Sam. "Everything in Morocco is open negotiation,Sam.When you hear a price,the first thing you say is'Too much一bezqf and then walk away.""But what if I like it?"“When you see something you like,maybe a lamp,you ask about something else instead. Then,as you walk out,you ask,"And how much is that lamp?9as though you5d just noticed it and aren't really that interested in it."We turn a comer and are greeted with sweet-smelling orange blossoms."Don't always give an offer.Make them continue to lower the price.Oh,and wear something Moroccan：Mohamed continues,as we enter a fairly large shop.Most of the stalls in Marrakech specialize in one thing,but not this one.Decorative and lethal-looking swords hang beside soft hand-dyed fabrics;large camel bones covered in writing sit beside massive copper lamps. It is here that Sam spots a box.“Look,a treasure chest!”It's made of wood,and painted red and gold.He opens the lid,then closes it.“Cool."Then he spots a tall,cobalt blue,tear-shapedold perfume bottle."Four hundred dirham,”the shopkeeper pronounces.Fifty dollars.Sam says nothing.Whether he's too shy or is practicing Mohamed's bargaining technique,I can't tell.He eventually agrees to pay200dirham,about$24.rd say the bottle is worth$10,at most. Clearly,his negotiating skills need a little work."Just to get started,Dad,”Sam measures me as he pays for the bottle.56.According to Mohamed,people in Marrakech like__________.A.bargainingB.tradingC.drinking teaD.showing friends around57.What does Mohamed advise Sam to do when he finds something he likes?A.To look for something similar in another shop.B.To complain to the vendor about its high price.C.To conceal his real preference from the vendor.D.To ask the vendor about the price as soon as possible.58.What does the writer imply about Sam's first negotiating experience?A.It is far from successful.B.It costs Sam more than the money he pays.C.It reveals Sam's potential in negotiation.D.It shows that Sam is too shy for negotiation.59.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.A Shopping Trip.B.The Charm of the MarketC.A Busy City.D.The Art of the Deal(B)The Man Who Ate his Boots is a fascinating account of expeditions that went wrong.The book examines the19th century search for a route to Asia by way of the Northwest Passage through the Arctic Ocean.Author Anthony Brandt describes the many attempts by both land and sea that ended in failure and tragedy,including the1845expedition led by Sir John Franklin.Brandt shows how these brave,yet sometimes foolish,explorers could have avoided starvation,frostbite,and even death if they had copied the survival techniques of the local Inuit people.Some of the more surprising details the book reveals include:IGLOOS The explorers,despite repeatedly watching the Inuit build igloos,insisted on using canvas tents.Tents freeze in sub-zero temperatures and give little protection to anyone inside them.If they had learned to build igloos,the explorers would have been warm even in the worst Arctic weather.SEALSKIN If the explorers had worn sealskin and furs like the Inuit,they wouldn't have suffered from the frostbite that was common among them,but rare among the Inuit.DOG TEAMS Why didn't the British use dog teams to pull their sleds?Pulling sleds themselves was a tradition among many explorers right into the early20th century It cost Scott and his men their lives on their return from the South Pole in1912.The British did get something right,however,when Captain Edward Parry grew salad vegetables in boxes on board his ship.It was known that fresh vegetables and fresh meat prevented scurvy(坏血病)，although at that time the reason for this(vitamin C)had not been discovered.Parry's men wouldn't have been as healthy if they hadn't eaten the salads.60.In The Man Who Ate his Boots’the author mainly________.A.introduces some foolish explorersB.focuses on some unsuccessful expeditionsC.analyzes the Inuit people's survival techniquesD.explores the advances in equipment used for expeditions61.According to Anthony Brandt,what should the explorers have done?A.They should have learned more about how seals survived in cold water.B.They should have set up more canvas tents to keep themselves warm.C.They should have helped the Inuit people build igloos.D.They should have used dogs to pull the sleds for them.62.It can be inferred from the passage that________.A.Edward Parry found a way to prevent scurvy by accidentB.Edward Parry's successful voyage was a rare case at that timeC.Edward Parry was the first captain that grew salad vegetables on boardD.Edward Parry's men could have been more healthy if they took vitamin C（C）Everything we know suggests that the universe is unusual.It is flatter,smoother,larger and emptier than a"typical"universe predicted by the known laws of physics if we reached into a hat filled with pieces of paper,each with the specifications of a possible universe written on it,it is unlikely that we would get a universe anything like ours in one pick—or even a billion.The challenge that cosmologists face is to make sense of this specialness.One approach to this question is inflation―the hypothesis(假设)that the early universe went through a stage of fast expansion.At first,inflation seemed to do the trick.A simple version of the idea gave correct predictions for the spectrum of fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background.But a closer look shows that we have just moved the problem further back in time.To make inflation happen at all requires us to fine-tune the initial conditions of the universe.And unless inflation is highly tuned,it leads to a runaway process of universe creation.As a result, some cosmologists（宇宙学家）suggest that there is not one universe,but an infinite number, with a huge variety of properties:the multiverse.There are an infinite number of universes in the collection that are like our universe and an infinite number that are not.But the proportion of infinity to infinity is undefined,and can be made into anything the theorist wants.Thus the multiverse theory has difficulty making any firm predictions and threatens to take us out of the area of science.These other universes are unobservable and because chance dictates the random distribution of properties across universes,suggesting the existence of a multiverse does not let us get to anything about our universe beyond what we already know.As attractive as the idea may seem,it is basically a sleight of hand,which turns an explanatory failure into an apparent explanatory success.The success is empty because anything that might be observed about our universe could be explained as something that must,by chance,happen somewhere in the multiverse.We started out trying to explain why the universe is so special,and we end up being asked to believe that our universe is one of an infinite number of universes with random properties.This makes me suspect that there is a basic but unexamined assumption about the laws of nature that must be overturned.Cosmology has new questions to answer.Not just what are the laws,but why are theselaws the laws?How were they chosen?We can't just hypothesise what the initial conditions were at the big bang,we need to explain those initial conditions.Thus we are in the position of a computer program asked to explain its inputs.It is clear that if we are to get anywhere, we need to invent new methods,and perhaps new kinds of laws,to gain a scientific description of the universe as a whole.63.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true of our universe?A.There are several hypotheses about its early stage.B.There are more than one billion universes similar to ours.C.It is expanding at a greater speed that it did at the stage of the big bang.D.It is different from the predictions made according to the laws of physics.64.What does the writer imply about the hypothesis of inflation?A.It hasn't been challenged.B.It doesn't make much sense.C.It is by far the most reasonable approach.D.It is the simple version of a complicated idea.65.Which word in the passage is similar in meaning to the phrase"sleight of hand"(paragraph4)?A.processB.predictionC.trickD.infinity66.It can be inferred from the passage that the writer___________.A.believes the idea of the multiverse will help us to understand our universe betterB.argues there is a fixed proportion of universes like ours to those unlike oursC.holds computer programs can work better than humans in cosmologyD.thinks some laws of nature that we take for granted may be falseSection CDirections:Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Unsurprisingly,when his customers heard about the jokes they didn't see the funny side and the share price of the company crashed.B.All I can say is that it's just as well I'm not famous!C.The same is not true for everyone,particularly if you are famous.D.What makes things worse for the famous is that these mistakes become even more widely publicised because of24-hour news channels and websites.E.This is the kind of thing many people might do privately when they get together with colleagues after work.F.As a result,what was private suddenly became public.Silly Mistakes Hit the HeadlinesWe have probably all had moments when we said the wrong thing.I certainly have. There was the time at university when I met a friend in a coffee bar after class and immediately started complaining about our tutor,who was called Dr Gray.I was going on and on about how miserable she was一strict,boring,unfriendly—and my friend wasn't really saying much.After a minute or so,she interrupted me and said,'Um,I think I should introduce you'.She then turned to this other student who I hadn't really noticed up till then and said,"This is Tracy.Tracy Gray'!Fortunately,the result of putting my foot in it was only an awkward moment and a stony silence.Maybe my friends thought a little less of me,maybe they thought I was an idiot,but no real harm was done.__________67__________Take Gerald Ratner.He was the multimillionaire owner of a chain of shops that sold cheap jewellery.In what was supposed to be a light-hearted speech to some fellow businessmen,he joked about the quality of some of his products.He said some earrings were 'cheaper than a sandwich,but probably wouldn't last as long'.Other products could be sold at such low prices because they were rubbish.__________68__________Ratner had to resign as director and shortly afterwards the company was taken over by a competitor.In some ways,Ratner could be seen as unfortunate in that he was in a semi-private meeting with friends and colleagues he was at ease with,but there happened to be a journalist there.__________69__________And with the rise of social media,there have been plenty of others who have been caught out by the increasingly vague boundaries between our private and public faces.For example,a group of flight attendants made jokes about the engines on their planes failing and complained about their airline and clients(客户).__________70__________Unfortunately,they did it publicly on Facebook and it led tothirteen of them being fired.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize in no more than60words the main idea and the main point(s)of the e your own words as far as possible.Cities in the SeaThey may be small,but they build big things!Coral polyps(珊瑚虫),which live in the warm,shallow parts of the Earth's oceans,are probably the biggest builders on the planet. Coral polyps turn calcium from seawater into a hard material called limestone.Slowly,they build up a hard skeleton(骨架)around their bodies.When polyps die,their skeletons remain. Young polyps attach themselves to the old skeletons and make new skeletons.Over time, weird and wonderful shapes are slowly built up into amazing coral reefs（珊瑚礁）.Scientists sometimes think of coral reefs as underwater cities.A quarter of all known marine species live in reef habitats―there are nearly a thousand coral species.Reefs are also home to millions of sea creatures,like fish,crabs,turtles,and sharks.Humans don't live in coral reef cities,but we benefit from them.Reefs create jobs for people in the fishing industry and other related businesses.Coral reefs are also popular for divers一many countries benefit from the tourists that they stly,chemicals from reef creatures help scientists create new medicines,which help doctors treat different illnesses.Coral reefs are very important,yet we don't take good care of them.Environmental problems have already killed about twenty percent of the world's reefs.About half of the remaining reefs are dying,and experts believe all of Earth's coral reefs will be in danger by 2050.Why are the reefs in such trouble?For one thing,people catch too many reef fish and often damage the reefs—divers sometimes break off pieces of coral.Polluted water also causes problems because reef-destroying algae grows in dirty water.Even air pollution hurts coral reefs.Global warming causes warmer ocean water,which can cause polyps to lose helpful algae.Without that algae,coral turns white.This is called"bleaching”，and if it continues,the coral dies.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.不努力一把，怎么知道人生会不会有更多的可能？（If）73.过去的三年里，这个曾经无人问津的小村庄吸引了大量游客。

I can’t do this anymore because I’m going to die,’” he says. “It was just a strong feeling that I had come to the end of a chapter. ”For eight years, the Santa Cruz, California resident drifted in and out of homelessness because of a serious drug addiction. It was a frustrating, impossible lifestyle. In 2009, Laffoon learned about Homeless Garden Project at a kitchen where he was volunteering. The not-for-profit aims to lift people living on the streets of Santa Cruz out of homelessness through farming. The end goal is that they will leave the farm with stable housing and afull-time job.After a year and a half of being in the program, Laffoon was able to secure employment and stable housing. He later obtained a degree in horticulture(园艺学). “It was the first step back into normal society-the first open door,” he says.Trainees are employed to grow fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs on the farm. They get paid a wage, are given basic job skills training and are matched with a social worker to work through specific goals. The project has helped close to 1,000 people. Over the past five years, 96 percent of graduates have obtained jobs or stable income and 86 percent have found housing.The project’s staffers say that the project has always had a strong element of community, which is central to the healing process of its trainees, as they often feel like they’ve lost their sense of belonging. Laffoon says that while he was homeless, he spent a lot of his time “trying to be invisible” and felt secluded from the rest of society. The project gave him meaningful work and a sense of belonging, which helped him get back on his feet.Ella Fleming, the project’s farm manager, has seen how growing food can have alife-changing and inspirational impact on trainees. “We provide a place where it’s safe, it’s nurturing, it’s healthy and there’s an exchange that happens,” she says. “When you’re caring for a plant to try to get it to grow, you’re also giving yourself some self-care to know that you can grow,”she says.4．What kind of person is Laffoon described as in the text?A．A person who fights his drug addiction.B．A person who has experienced homelessness.C．A person who gets stable housing and a full-time job.D．A person who benefits from Homeless Garden Project.5．What is the purpose of Homeless Garden Project for homeless people?A．To employ them to work on the farm.B．To provide them with housing and work.C．To enable them to make a living in society.D．To give them opportunities for volunteering.6．What does the underlined word “secluded” in paragraph 5 indicate?A．Laffoon felt alone in the world.B．Laffoon felt sorry for himself. C．Laffoon felt different from others.D．Laffoon felt unsatisfied with society. 7．Which of the following can best describe Homeless Garden Project?A．It’s flexible.B．It’s enjoyable.C．It’s inspiring.D．It’s comforting.We grow up going to school and learning about “common core” subjects, along with others. We are also given information about things from the media, governments, and the Internet. We are conditioned by all of this information to see reality. But all that learning is not as important as it’s made out to be. In fact, it can be limiting you to a life of mediocrity (平庸).The more you learn about things, whether they are true or not, the more rigid your reality becomes. The less possible certain things seem to be limiting your ability to imagine possibilities as a child does. This goes for information as well as applied activities.This is not to say that you should not learn anything. The key is, you should be able to learn, unlearn, and relearn. You should be able to get rid of information that becomes contradicted by something with more evidence supporting it, and reprogram over thingswhich no longer serve your continued evolution.The sooner you allow yourself to go through the process of unlearning, the easier it will be to unlearn things which are limiting your ability to see things as the limitless possibilities they are. As Seneca once said,“The mind is slow to unlearn what it learned early. ” This is why you see old people become set in their ways,being imprisoned by the same beliefs they had in their youth. Once those beliefs are formed in the brain, it will take something extraordinary to reprogram over them.You can go about unlearning by making a list of a few beliefs you have about things which you feel may be holding you back from evolving. Then explore what else is possible in regards to those areas and take action. When you come across information and receive greater understanding on something, make it a part of your reality and belief system.Remind yourself that even though some new information has replaced what you believed was true and worth continuing to support, it may one day also be replaced by something even more consistent with truth and more helpful with your evolution.Learning to unlearn is the highest form of learning. You will begin to notice you are growing once again.8．When should you unlearn things?A．When they become boring.B．When they are no longer helpful. C．When they are against your beliefs.D．When they are difficult to learn. 9．What is the purpose of mentioning old people in paragraph 4?A．To prove that the mind is slow to unlearn.B．To prove that unlearning should be done early.C．To show that it is hard for young people to unlearn.D．To show that it’s unnecessary for old people to unlearn.10．What message does the author intend to get to us in paragraph 6?A．Unlearning never ends.B．Unlearning requires patience. C．Unlearning is a slow process.D．Unlearning may be unsuccessful. 11．What advice can be given according to the concept of unlearning?A．Never learn useless things.B．Always believe in yourself. C．Always seek something better.D．Never try to get too much.Not only do we humans enjoy talking-and talking a lot-we also do so in very differentways: about 6,000 languages are spoken today worldwide. How this wealth of expression developed, however, largely remains unknown. A group of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics have now found that word-orders in languages from different language families develop differently.This contradicts the common understanding that word-order develops in accordance with a set of universal rules, applicable to all languages. The researchers have concluded that languages do not primarily follow innate(固有的) rules of language processing in the brain. Rather, sentence structure is determined by the historical context in which a language develops.The researchers analysed 301 languages from four major language families: Austronesian, Indo-European, Bantu and Uto-Aztecan. They focused on the order of the different sentence parts, such as “verb-object”, “preposition-noun”, or “relative clause-noun”, and whether their position in the sentence influenced the other parts of the sentence. In this way, the researchers wanted to find out whether the position of the verb has other syntactic(句法的) consequences: if the verb is placed before the object, for example, “The player kicks the ball”, is the preposition also placed before the noun (“into the goal”)? Such a pattern is observed in many languages, but is it a common feature of how languages develop?“Our study shows that different processes occur in different language families,” says Michael Dunn,the lead researcher. “The evolution of language does not follow one universal set of rules.” For example, the “verb-object” pattern influences the “preposition-noun” pattern in the Austronesian and Indo-European languages, but not in the same way, and not in the other two language families.“Cultural evolution has much more influence on language development than universal factors. Language structure is apparently not so much biologically determined as it is shaped by its ancestry,” says Michael Dunn.12．What does the underlined “This” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．People enjoy talking a lot in different ways.B．About 6,000 languages are spoken today worldwide.C．The group of researchers at the Max Planck Institute.D．Word-orders in different languages develop differently.13．Why did the researchers analyse the 301 languages?A．To find out which language family they belonged to.B．To find out whether they had an influence on sports.C．To find out how sentences in them were formed.D．To find out whether they developed the same way or not.14．What can be known from the study about the language development?A．It’s a natural process.B．It’s a cultural process.C．It’s a universal process.D．It’s a biological process.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．How Languages Changed in HistoryB．What Rules Language Development ObeysC．Historical Context Guides Language DevelopmentD．Sentence Structure Determines Language Development二、七选五Communicating with NatureThe natural world is amazing. In fact, it is one that you can have a “conversation” with. ____16____Apart from the obvious-that it’s an enjoyable, uplifting thing to do-you may seek to communicate with nature to benefit your mental health, for example.When you arrive at your chosen spot, sit quietly for a few moments. ____17____Just talk in your head as you would to someone you’re opening a conversation with. “Hey, I’m Nikki. How are you doing today? Do you have time for a chat?” It doesn’t matter what you say, so long as you say it with an open heart, and you make it clear that you’re inviting communication.____18____A million ways. You may notice a particular animal or insect coming closer to you and communicating energetically. You may notice a rhythm (韵律) or a pattern in the sound of the water or of the wind. Be mindful of what’s going on around you, be part of the natural world——you’ll soon notice so many ways in which your answers may come.The first few times you attempt this exercise, you probably won’t see, hear or notice anything you choose to interpret as communication. ____19____If you practice this on a regular basis, however, you will start to pick things up. As you become more and more familiar with the oneness of yourself and the world around you, you will sense and understand more about what will occur during your “conversations”.____20____There should be some benefit to nature, just as there is a benefit to you. When your time is over and you’re ready to leave, say thank you energetically and in your mind, but also say thank you in a practical way. Leave the area in a better state than you found it, for example, by picking up rubbish on your way out.A．That’s OK. It doesn’t happen overnight.B．How will you know if nature responds to you?C．Communication with nature should be a two-way street.D．And then ask to communicate with the nature around you.E．How can you start communicating with the natural world?F．It just depends on what you choose for your “conversation”.G．You may be wondering why you might want to communicate with nature.三、完形填空photograph of a hawk (鹰) that I really like.
