Take unforgettable pictures．B. Come across Bob Dylan．C. Visit New York Public Library．D. Learn about famous artists．BThe United States Congress is responsible for making and approving federal laws-rules that everyone in the country must follow．But exactly how do those laws get made？The process is not easy，and it takes a long time．A law begins when someone puts forward an idea．The idea can come from anyone，but it has to get to a U．S．lawmaker who wants it to become legislation．In time，the idea is further developed into a written proposal，called a bill．Then，a member of Congress officially proposes the bill．After the bill is introduced，it is sent to a small group of lawmakers，called a "committee"．Sometimes committee members seek more information about the proposal by holding hearings．Sometimes the committee changes the bill．Sometimes it decides not to take any action．In that case，we say lawmakers "table" the bill，or let it "die in committee"．But now and then，the bill is offered to lawmakers not on the committee．Those lawmakers debate the bill further．They might change the bill again．Finally，the full House or Senate votes on the bill．If it does not earn the majority of votes，the bill does not advance．Finally，the agreed-upon bill is sent to the president．If the president signs it，the bill becomes a law．If the president does nothing and Congress is officially meeting，the bill becomes a law．But if the president does nothing and Congress is not in session，the bill does not pass．Or the president can officially reject the bill If that happens，the bill is not stopped．Instead，it is returned to both the Senate and the House．If two-thirds of the senators and two-thirds of the House members approve the bill once again，even with the president objecting，they turn the bill into a law．5.Who is the first to propose a bill？______A. A lawyerB. A citizen．C. A member of Congress．D. A committee member．6.When does a bill finally become a law？______A. After it is sent to a committee．B. When the president signs it．C. After it returns to the Congress．D. While Congress is not in session．7.What can be inferred from the text？______A. Not every bill can be turned into a law．B. Anybody can put forward a proposal．C. If "tabled"，the bill has to be voted on．D. Once proposed，the bill can't be changed．CWe humans love to stare into our smart devices．We gaze for hours-about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day-at our computers，smartphones，tablets and televisions．Is all this staring bad for us？It might be，mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light．Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy．While it's true that light can damage our eyes under certaincircumstances，there's no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes．But many people still think it is，which is why blue light-blocking glasses are so popular．So do the glasses work？"Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye，but there's no evidence that it may be causing serious damage，" Dr．Rahul Khurana，clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmologists，told Business Insider．Blue light exposure is nothing new．In fact，the sun is the largest source of blue light．Moreover，blue light is also present in LED light．But if blue light isn't harmful，then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we're looking at our screens？The answer is eyestrain（眼疲劳）：More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain．And blue light，it seems，isn't the cause．Instead，our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices．So if eyestrain is the real issue，blue light-blocking glasses are probably of little use．8.What do we know about blue light？______A. It is a kind of nuclear radiation．B. It has the shortest wavelength．C. It may come from electronic devices．D. It consumes a great deal of energy．9.What causes the popularity of blue light-blocking glasses？______A. Evidence of their benefits to eyes．B. Belief in blue light's harmful effect．C. Widespread use of smart devices．D. Scientific understanding of blue light．10.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4？______A. Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable．B. Eye problems are not easy to deal with．C. Blue light may connect with tired eyes．D. Rubbing eyes makes people strained11.According to the text，wearing blue light-blocking glasses may be ______ ．A. tiringB. harmfulC. uselessD. BeneficialDCan I talk about salary at work？In a word：yes．As HR company lnsperity put it in a recent blog post：Can your employees discuss their salaries or wages with their co-workers？Yes．Even if you have a company policy against it？Yes．The freedom to discuss your salary at work is a protected right under federal labor law．The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 protects your right to discuss the conditIons of your employment，including issues related to safety and pay，even when you're not protected by a union．Talking about salary with colleagues can be uncomfortable，since there's such a taboo about discussing money matters，but it's an important step towards achieving equal pay for equal work．One barrier，however，stems from how we think of our own financial worth．Too many people I talk to wrongly consider their salary a reflection of thier worthiness，a statement about their skills，experience，or value．At the end of the day，if we can all separate our self-worth from our salaries a bit more，it'll become easier to talk frankly with our colleagues．Asking about money outright can be tough，so one trick I've picked up along the way is to ask for your colleagues to confirm or deny．For instance，you might volunteer your salary firstand ask "Does that sound about right to you？" by way of comparison．Or，let's say you're interviewing for a promotion to become a manager．You might ask a fellow manager about the kind of salary you should expect by saying，"I'm seeing salaries for this kind of positionranging from ﹩65，000 to ﹩70，000-does that seem accurate to you？" This way，even if yourcolleague isn't comfortable sharing their salary outright，they can help you identify if your expectations are on point or way off．12.What makes co-workers uncomfortable to talk about salaries？______A. The safety issue．B. The federal labor law．C. The wrong idea about salaries．D. The reflection of their worthiness．13.What does "taboo" underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to？______A. A prohibited practice．B. A religious belief．C. A general agreement．D. A social custom．14.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4？______A. One of my interview experiences．B. My way of asking about money．C. The method of raising questions．D. An example of getting promoted．15.What can be the best title for the text？______A. How to Discuss Salaries at WorkB. Ways of Talking about SalariesC. Do Salaries Stand for Self-worth？D. Can Salaries be Talked about at Work？二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）About one hundred years ago many educated people learned and spoke French when they met people from other counties．Today most．people speak English when they meet foreigners．(1) There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language．Why is this？(2) One of them is that English has become the language of business．Another important reason is that popular American culture（like movies，music，and McDonald's ）has quickly spread throughout the world．(3)Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so' quickly？(4) It's important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common．Our world has become very global and we．need to communicate．with．one another．On the other hand，English is a fairly complicated language to learn and it brings its culture with it Do we really need that？Scientists have already tried to create an artificial language that isn't too difficult and doesn't include any one group's culture．It is called Esperanto．(5) Maybe the popularity of English won't last that long either．Who knows？There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language．Maybe someday Chinese will be the new international language．A．People like English．B．But it hasn't become popular，C．It has brought its language with it．D．There is no doubt about the question．E．This is why English was widely spoken．F．It has become the new international language．G．There are many reasons why English has become so popular．16.

山东省2020年新高考模拟济南一模试题（含答案及解析）英语第一部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题;每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AIf you want to learn why everything is usually cheaper, and what items are the best deals at your local or chain dollar or discount store, store employees have a lot of useful information. They tend to know what shoppers want — even before shoppers know themselves.Everyone buys unnecessary thingsWhether you shop at a chain dollar store such as Dollar Tree, Family Dollar or your local 99 cents store, not everything that’s on sale is necessarily worth purchasing. Bryan Waring, a former Dollar Tree employee, says that you’re not alone in buying more than necessary from these stores. “It seems basic, but everyone falls for this trap,” he says. “You go into a store where everything is cheap, and you walk out with things you don't need.” He suggests going into a store — yes, even the dollar store — with a checklist of things you truly need.Everything is cheaper after the holiday seasonPatricia, a seasonal worker at a Dollar Tree, says that the post-Christmas season means even more deals on everything from decorations to sweets. “After Christmas, all the gift wrap paper went to 50 cents, and all Christmas items were half price,” she says. “Even candy bars are 89 cents versus $ 1.”Products are less expensive because of their sizeIn order for dollar stores to keep their prices low, product sizes are usually smaller than normal, according to Cheapism. Dollar stores aren't the only ones guilty of this trick. Cheapism also reports Walmart is guilty of doing the same thing to attract customers.1. What is Bryan’s advice against buying unnecessary things?A. Making a purchase alone.B. Writing a to-buy list ahead.C. Shopping at your local store.D. Buying basic things separately.2. Which of the following is a better time for shopping according to Patricia?A. In the Christmas sales.B. At a particular discount.C. After the Christmas season.D. During some holiday seasons.3. How do stores make their products cheaper? A. By reducing product sizes. B. By lowering product costs.C. By adopting discount strategies.D. By attracting more customers.BIt was just a normal day for Ruth Miller, a 63-year-old woman until everything went horribly wrong. She was walking to her car after shopping when the unthinkable happened.Right as she was unlocking her car, a man quickly came up behind her and tried to wrestle her purse away. She was in shock. Luckily she remembered she had her Safe Personal Alarm (SPA) on her purse, and since she was too scared to scream for help, she quickly reached for the alarm and pulled the pin (保险栓). Immediately her SPA started just screaming. The man didn't know what to do! He froze for a second, and then ran away like a bat out of hell!SPA is a safety device capable of creating a 125db sound that attracts attention and scares away potential attackers. To compare, it's the same volume as a military jet during takeoff.Paul Davidson, the inventor of SPA, knows all too well the type of situation that Ruth found herself in. But that's not the only type of situation that SPA helps protect against. Parents can give it to their kids as an extra means of protection. Teenagers can use it so they can feel safe walking home. Women can know it's there when they have to use the parking lot at night. “My mother, who is 76 years old, carries it around in case she falls and needs to ask people for help. I only wish I'd have thought of it earlier,” said Paul.The police have been recommending SPA since it first hit the market. In fact, since its launch, SPA has been in a state, shifting between in stock to sold out nearly every other week, and it's also got tons of loyal followers worldwide.4. What does the underlined part “the unthinkable” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. An attempted robbery.B. A wrestling match.C. An angry argument.D. A car accident.5. How did Ruth react to the unexpected situation?A. She fought violently.B. She froze in great fear.C. She cried desperately for help.D. She sounded her safety device.6. Why does Paul mention his mother?A. To imply the elderly need more care.B. To suggest he cares about his mother.C. To show SPA can be widely used.D. To make an advertisement for SPA.7. What can be learned from the text?A. SPA is well received in the market.B. People hesitate to pay for security.1C. SPA was sold out in the first two weeks.D. SPA is not important in life.CLike clockwork, nearly every fourth February includes one extra day. February 29th, otherwise known as Leap Day, isn’t exactly a holiday. Instead, it’s there to keep your calendar consistent with the earth’s rotation (旋转) around the sun.According to History, com, Roman emperor Julius Caesar is the “father” of Leap Year. Until he came along, people used a 355-day calendar, which was 10.25 days shorter than the solar year. Roman officials were supposed add an extra month every now and then to keep the seasons exactly where they should be. But that didn’t work out all that well. When special o ccasions started shifting into different seasons around 45 BCE, Caesar consulted with astronomers and decreed (下令) that the empire should use a 12-month, 365-day calendar, which he named after himself, Caesar’s Julian calendar included a Leap Day every fou r years.Though Leap Day keeps your calendar in line with the earth’s rotation around the sun, it causes a different kind of problem for leapsters. When should these February 29th babies celebrate their birthdays during the other three-quarters of their lives? Some party on February 28th, while others prefer a two-day celebration that spans the last day of February and the first day of March.Leap Day can be a nuisance in the legal system. In 2006, a court in Massachusetts was deciding whether criminal John Melo could be released a day early since his 10-year sentence included a Leap Day. In the case, the judge decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for years, not days. Leap Day didn’t make a bit of difference.Though a few timekeepers have pushe d for calendars that don’t include Leap Day, almost all astronomers and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the calendar on track.8. Why was Leap Day created?A. To celebrate special occasions.B. To honor Emperor Julius Caesar.C. To keep pace with the solar year.D. To keep track of all the seasons.9. What is the problem with the birthday celebration of February 29th babies?A. It is sometimes delayed.B. It lasts at least two days.C. It has to be held every other year.D. It may take place on different dates.10. What does the underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Joke.B. Topic.C. Trouble.D. Mistake.11. what is the attitude of most astronomers towards Leap Day?A. Critical.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Cautious.DScientists have developed a new type of smart bandage (绷带) that can signal the type of bacterial (细菌的) infection it’s protecting, just like a traffic light, as well as release the right type of drugs on demand. The traffic light system works just like this: Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria, yellow means drug-sensitive (DS) bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics (抗生素) and causes antibiotic release, and red means drug-resistant (DR) bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out.In testing the bandage on mice, the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method. However, the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time, the requirement for professional personnel, and expensive instruments. Moreover, the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance.It’s easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations. Treatment doesn’t have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis, and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity. What’s more, the person wearing the bandage gets real-time feedback on what’s happening with the infection, if there’s an infection at all. The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light, including photodynamic therapy or PDT.We’ve been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years, thanks to advances in science — like the nanofiber mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out, speeding up the healing process. Then there’s the novel bandage for treating burns, which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection.The more work that a bandage can do while it’s protecting a wound, the better. Efforts to improve bandages continue and now we've got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics, but also tells the patient exactly what’s going on too.12. What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do?A. Avoid the use of antibiotics.B. Clear out harmful bacteria.C. Detect bacterial infections.D. Increase treatment options.13. What is the advantage of the smart bandage?A. It saves much time and cost.B. It removes the risk of infection.C. It prevents the bacterial resistance.D. It improves doctor-patient relationship.14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. Traditional bandages are out of use now.B. More smart bandages will be developed.2C.Progress in science calls for more research.D. People are urged to study medical science.15. What does the text focus on?A. A successful test on mice.B. A colour-changing bandage.C. Sensing drug-resistant bacteria.D. Preventing abuse of antibiotics.第二节（共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020届山东省济南市高考英语一模试题第一部分阅读（共两节，满分37.5分）第一节（共4小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项．1．（7.5分）If you want to learn why everything is usually cheaper，and what items are the best deals at your local or chain dollar or discount store，store employees have a lot of useful information．They tend to know what shoppers want﹣even before shoppers know themselves．Everyone buys unnecessary thingsWhether you shop at a chain dollar store such as Dollar Tree，Family Dollar or your local99 cents store，not everything that's on sale is necessarily worth purchasing．Bryan Waring，a former Dollar Tree employee，says that you're not alone in buying more than necessary fromthese stores．"It seems basic，but everyone falls for this trap，" he says．"You go into a store where everything is cheap，and you walk out with things you don't need．" He suggests going into a store﹣yes，even the dollar store﹣with a checklist of things you truly need．Everything is cheaper after the holiday seasonPatricia，a seasonal worker at a Dollar Tree，says that the post﹣Christmas season means even more deals on everything from decorations to sweets．"After Christmas，all the gift wrap paper went to 50 cents，and all Christmas items were half price，" she says．"Even candy bars are 89 cents versus ＄1．"Products are less expensive because of their sizeIn order for dollar stores to keep their prices low，product sizes are usually smaller than normal，according to Cheapism．Dollar stores area t the only ones guilty of this trick．Cheapism also reports Walmart is guilty of doing the same thing to attract customers．（1）What is Bryan's advice against buying unnecessary things？A．Making a purchase alone．B．Writing a to﹣buy list ahead．C．Shopping at your local store．D．Buying basic things separately．（2）Which of the following is a better time for shopping according to Patricia？A．In the Christmas sales．B．At a particular discount．C．After the Christmas season．D．During some holiday seasons．（3）How do stores make their products cheaper？A．By reducing product sizes．B．By lowering product costs．C．By adopting discount strategies．D．By attracting more customers．2．（10分）It was just a normal day for Ruth Miller，a 63﹣year﹣old woman until everything went horribly wrong．She was walking to her car after shopping when the unthinkable happened．Right as she was unlocking her car，a man quickly came up behind her and tried to wrestle her purse away．She was in shock．Luckily she remembered she had her Safe Personal Alarm （SPA）on her purse，and since she was too scared to scream for help，she quickly reached for the alarm and pulled the pin（保险栓）．Immediately her SPA started just screaming．The man didn't know what to do! He froze for a second，and then ran away likea bat out of hell!SPA is a safety device capable of creating a 125db sound that attracts attention and scares away potential attackers．To compare，it's the same volume as a military jet during takeoff．Paul Davidson，the inventor of SPA，knows all too well the type of situation that Ruth found herself in．But that's not the only type of situation that SPA helps protect against．Parents can give it to their kids as an extra means of protection．Teenagers can use it so they can feel safe walking home Women can know it's there when they have to use the parking lot at night．"My mother，who is 76 years old，carries it around in case she falls and needs to ask people for help．I only wish I'd have thought of it earlier，" said Paul．The police have been recommending SPA since it first hit the market．In fact，since its launch，SPA has been in a state，shifting between in stock to sold out nearly every other week，and it's also got tons of loyal followers worldwide．（1）What does the underlined part "the unthinkable" in Paraph 1 refer to？A．An attempted robbery．B．A wrestling match．C．An angry argument．D．A car accident．（2）How did Ruth react to the unexpected situation？A．She fought violently．B．She froze in great fear．C．She cried desperately for help．D．She sounded her safety device．（3）Why does Paul mention his mother？A．To imply the elderly need more care．B．To suggest he cares about his mother．C．To show SPA can be widely used．D．To make an advertisement for SPA．（4）What can be learned from the text？A．SPA is well received in the market．B．People hesitate to pay for security．C．SPA was sold out in the first two weeks．3．（10分）Like clockwork，nearly every fourth February includes one extra day．February 29th，otherwise known as Leap Day，isn't exactly a holiday．Instead，it's there to keep your calendar consistent with the earth's rotation（旋转）around the sun．According to History，com，Roman emperor Julius Caesar is the "father" of Leap Year．Until he came along，people used a 355﹣day calendar，which was 10.25 days shorter than the solar year．Roman officials were supposed add an extra month every now and then to keep the seasons exactly where they should be．But that didn't work out all that well．When special occasions started shifting into different seasons around 45 BCE，Caesar consulted with astronomers and decreed（下令）that the empire should use a 12﹣month，365﹣day calendar，which he named after himself，Caesar's Julian calendar included a Leap Day everyThough Leap Day keeps your calendar in line with the earth's rotation around the sun，it causes a different kind of problem for leapsters．When should these February 29th babies celebrate their birthdays during the other three﹣quarters of their lives？Some party on February 28th，while others prefer a two﹣day celebration that spans the last day of February and the first day of March．Leap Day can be a nuisance in the legal system．In 2006，a court in Massachusetts was deciding whether criminal John Melo could be released a day early since his 10﹣year sentence included a Leap Day．In the case，the judge decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for years，not days．Leap Day didn't make a bit of difference．Though a few timekeepers have pushed for calendars that don't include Leap Day，almost all astronomers and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the calendar on track．（1）Why was Leap Day created？A．To celebrate special occasions．B．To honor Emperor Julius Caesar．C．To keep pace with the solar year．D．To keep track of all the seasons．（2）What is the problem with the birthday celebration of February 29th babies？A．It is sometimes delayed．B．It lasts at least two days．C．It has to be held every other year．D．It may take place on different dates．（3）What does the underlined word "nuisance" in Paragraph 4 mean？A．Joke．B．Topic．C．Trouble．D．Mistake．（4）what is the attitude of most astronomers towards Leap Day？B．Supportive．C．Doubtful．D．Cautious．4．（10分）Scientists have developed a new type of smart bandage（绷带）that can signal the type of bacterial（细菌的）infection it's protecting，just like a traffic light，as well as release the right type of drugs on demand．The traffic light system works just like this：Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria，yellow means drug﹣sensitive （DS）bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics（抗生素）and causes antibiotic release，and red means drug ﹣resistant （DR）bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out．In testing the bandage on mice，the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method．However，the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time，the requirement for professional personnel，and expensive instruments．Moreover，the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance．It's easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations．Treatment doesn't have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis，and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity．What's more，the person wearing the bandage gets real﹣time feedback on what's happening with the infection，if there's an infection at all．The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light，including photodynamic therapy or PDT．We've been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years，thanks to advances in science﹣like the nanofibre mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out，speeding up the healing process．Then there's the novel bandage for treating burns，which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection．The more work that a bandage can do while it's protecting a wound，the better．Efforts to improve bandages continue and now we've got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics，but also tells the patient exactly what's going on too．（1）What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do？A．Avoid the use of antibiotics．B．Clear out harmful bacteria．C．Detect bacterial infections．D．Increase treatment options．（2）What is the advantage of the smart bandage？A．It saves much time and cost．B．It removes the risk of infection．C．It prevents the bacterial resistance．D．It improves doctor﹣patient relationship．（3）What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs？A．Traditional bandages are out of use now．B．More smart bandages will be developed．C．Progress in science calls for more research．D．People are urged to study medical science．（4）What does the text focus on？A．A successful test on mice．B．A colour﹣changing bandage．C．Sensing drug﹣resistant bacteria．D．Preventing abuse of antibiotics．第二节（共1小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（12.5分）Handwriting is quickly becoming a dying art．Few businesses can run nowadays without computers．（1）Researchers from Princeton University conducted a study to demonstrate the differences between students who wrote out their notes and those who typed notes on a lecture．（2）Participants were tested on the material 30 minutes after the lecture and again a week later．And handwriting emerged as the champion．（3）The typers had a significant edge when it came to note﹣taking efficiency．The typers could copy down significantly many more words than the writers，sometimes even transcribing the contents of the lecture word﹣for﹣word．But while more of the lecture's content was retained（保留）on paper when typing，itwasn't necessarily retained in participants，heads．（4）On the test 30 minutes after the lecture，typers and writers did more or less equally well on questions about the basic facts of the lecture，but typers fell behind when it came to more conceptual questions．As for the later quiz，the results were similar．Students with handwritten notes were able to remember and still understand the concepts of the lecture after a week had passed．These participants were also more open to understanding new ideas．（5）A．The tests that the participants took proved this．B．The efficiency of handwriting might best benefit you．C．That's not to say that typing doesn't have its benefits．D．In this study，the laptops were only used to take notes．E．Generally speaking，typing also has its own disadvantages．F．But what are we losing as handwriting loses its significance in society？G．Clearly，writing by hand is one of the things that can make you smarter．第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分15分）第一节（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6．（15分）As the temperature approached as high as 90°F last July 4th，three police officers went into a Foods Market to get something（1）to drink．Once inside，they were asked by a security guard to help with a（2）woman．The woman in question was obviously（3），and her cheeks were wet with tears．The officers looked inside her bag．All they saw were containers of（4）．"I'm hungry，" she explained（5）．Caught

considerably worse in January，2020．The disaster faced by（1）country is far from over．Many of the fires（2）（send）smoke high into the atmosphere and some smoke turned into pyrocumulonimbus clouds．The clouds can help a fire draw in more air and shift surface winds，（3）（result）in fire tornadoes （龙卷风）．Fires have destroyed habitats for animals that（4）（find）only in Australia，including koalas and rare

was messy．He didn't try to make messes，but he didn't try to clean up much，either．There were always small pieces of food on the table when he was done eating．His socks never made it into the hamper（洗衣篮）．And he only picked up his toys when Mom threatened to throw them away．Most days，Mom followed Arthur around the house and cleaned up after him．She brushed the crumbs（碎屑）into her hand and threw them away after meals．She picked up his socks and made sure they got washed，dried and folded neatly before going back in the drawer．She often picked up his toys when he left them to do something else．One day，Mom asked Arthur to pick up his toy trains．"Not right now，" Arthur said．He was reading a comic book．The trains had been on the living room floor since the morning．"You know

By managing to become Edina's colleagueCMy mother is a teacher. I often asked her, “ Why do you teach? What keeps you teaching?” The answer was always the same. “There is always that one child, that one moment that is worth it.”Now, I am a teacher, too. But different from my mother, I teach students challenging activities outdoors. And when my mother asked me the similar questions, my answer was, “It’s that one child, that one special moment.”One of those moments happened recently. I was working with a group of girls in a four-week programme. Everything went on well through the “Team” events and we were moving on to a“High” one called the Wire Walk.In the Wire Walk, each girl had to climb up the pegs in a tree to a wire, 8 meters high, and then walk across it. Of course, everything was safe for sure.When it was Susie's turn, it seemed that she didn't really want to. I asked Susie if she was ready. She answered softly, “I suppose.”Now, Susie was at the foot of the tree. She started to make the long reach. Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step. I realized she would not go much further.Susie was halfway up. Then she stopped and held the tree tight, looking very afraid. Her eyes were closed. With her face against the tree, she cried, “I can't.”The other girls sat in silence. I talked quietly to Susie, trying to relax her. I talked for a long time till I ran out of words.“I will still be your friend no matter what, Susie!” Mary broke the silence.To my surprise, Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire. Then she turned to look down at Mary and smiled. Mary smiled back.Finally, Susie made it all the way across that wire. When she returned to the ground, the first hug she looked for was from Mary. We all cheered. Moments like this keep me doing what I do.8. Why did Susie stop halfway up to the wire?A. It was too high for her to reach.B. She was too afraid to move on.C.

My dad was kind of a street kid, and he eventually went into the insurance business, selling nickel policies door to door.One day, my dad asked his boss, “What's the toughest market to sell?” and the insurance guy replied “Well, black people. They don’t buy insurance.” My dad thought, but they have kids; they have families. Why wouldn’t they buy insurance? So he said, “Give meHarlem.”When my dad died in 1994, I talked about him onThe Tonight Show. I told the story of how he worked inHarlem and how he always taught us to be open-minded and not to say or think things of racism (种族主义). Then one day, I got a letter from a woman who was about 75 years old.She wrote that when she was a little girl, a man used to come to her house to collect policies. She said this man was the only white person who had ever come to dinner at their house. The man was very kind to her, she said, and his name was Angelo—was this my father?The letter made me cry. I called her up and said yes, that was in fact my dad, and she told me how kind he had been to her family. Her whole attitude toward white people was based on that one nice man she met in her childhood, who always treated her with kindness and respect and always gave her a piece of candy. From this experience, I learned a valuable life lesson: never judge people and be open-minded and kind to others.12. What did my father do after knowing what was the toughest market to sell?A.

These schools are primarily located in the Northeastern part of the country. There are eight total colleges that are considered to be Ivy League. These schools are Brown, Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, and Columbia universities and the University of Pennsylvania. Of all institutions of higher learning, these elite schools are considered to be the most outstanding and the most sought-after in terms of acceptance and graduation.The term “Ivy League” came about in 1954 when the NCAA athletic conference for Division I was formed. At the time, the elitism of these schools was really due to their prestige in the realm of sports like basketball. Although the term “Ivy League” was not created until the 1950s, many of these schools were in existence as far back as 1636, when John Harvard became the first benefactor of Harvard University.Although this group of elite schools is considered to be part of one big league of the elite, there have been plenty of internal rivalries over the years. The sports that these colleges play were so popular that some teams began playing games in New York City so spectators could come from far away and watch the games. The popularity of both the athletes who played and the college team rivalries brought in a good deal of attention to the schools as well as revenue from ticket sales. There have also been academic rivalries between schools. Mostly, these rivalries are a matter of opinion in terms of which school has the most honor graduates, which schools offer the most prestigious scholarships, and what famous graduates have come from each school.Each Ivy League college has its own unique accomplishments that make it important. All carry a certain reputation with them, and each school has programs that excel primarily in the medical and law fields, making them some of the most sought-after schools in the world. Their admission process is very selective, which helps the schools ensure that they only accept the best and brightest. Many famous people have graduated from Ivy League schools, including recent presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. This prestige leads many to believe that these colleges are only for the wealthy and elite. Often, companies look for Ivy Leaguegraduates as potential employees, usually preferred by law firms, medical facilities, and large corporations. It has long beencovetedto have earned a degree from an Ivy League school. Today, the Ivy League schools are still excellent in both academia and in sports, and they have left a legacy of higher education with an exceptional track record and reputation to go along with them.4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Ivy League schools were initially famous for their reputation in sports.B. Ivy League schools didn’t come into existence until the 1950s.C. Ivy League schools do not compete with each other within the league.D. Ivy League schools are most popular for their excellence in the medical and law fields.5. Which of the following aspects is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The history of the Ivy LeagueB. The rivalry of the Ivy LeagueC. The accomplishments and cultural impacts of the Ivy LeagueD. The future development of the Ivy League6. Why do many people believe that Ivy League colleges are only for the wealthy and elite?A. Because they are the most sought-after schools in the world.B. Because they have selective admission process to help ensure the quality of their students.C. Because many famous people have graduated from Ivy League schools.D. Because manycompanies look for Ivy League graduates as potential employees.7. What does the underlined word “coveted” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. advocatedB.DesiredC. restrictedD. sponsoredCHoneybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings toproduce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.As with many scientific advances-IsaacNewton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt-Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect localPasadenahoneybees andobserved their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs forpropulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they-predicted.Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.8. What does the author intend to show by mentioningNewtonandFranklin?A. Roh’s admiration for them.B. Roh’s chance discovery about bees.C. Their outstanding talent for science.D. Their similar achievements in discovery.9. What plays the most vital role in a bee’s moving forward on water?A. The air weight.B. Its leg extension.C. The water movement.D. Its continuous wingbeat.10. What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Fast flightB. Driving force.C. Pulling speed.D. Explosive power.11. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Honeybees can surf to safety.B. Bees help scientists make inventions.C. Insects can adapt to the environment.D. Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.D“Tell her,” I whispered to my daughter as she pressed her body against mine. She folded my free arm around her little shoulders while I finished loading the groceries onto the conveyer belt.I smiled at the young cashier who had a butterfly knot tied to her black ponytail(马尾辫). My daughter was right when she'd whispered to me, “Her hair is so pretty.”“Tell her,” I repeated witha gentle push. My girl only dug her pink cheeks deeper into my side as she nervously twisted the edge of my sleeve in her small fist.The cashier looked down at my daughter, her expression showing a little concern. “My daughter thinks your hair is beautiful.” I explained.The cashier's face lit up. “You do?” This led my little one out of her hiding place. She looked up and nodded.“Thank you so much! You made my day,” the cashier said with a smile brilliant enough to compete with her highlights. My daughter returned it with a shining smile of her own.As I walked out of the store, holding my daughter's hand, I stole a glance back at the young woman. Her energy was clearly brighter now than it had: been when we first entered her line.After loading my groceries in the trunk, I climbed into the driver's seat. It was then that my daughter made a declaration, “Mom, I think I'm going to start telling everyone when I like their hair.” “You should, honey.” And she did. She still does.It's a rare occasion if we make a trip out in public without her telling someone that she loves their hair, or nails, or shirt, or shoes. To be honest, I think she even does so more than me. And it's one of my favorite things about this girl. She learned, at a very young age, that by simply telling people when you see beauty in them, you can draw out the beauty of human connection.12. Why was the author's daughter nervous in the store?A. She was frightened of the cashier.B. She was too shy to express herself.C. She was unable to pay the groceries.D. She was unhappy to greet a stranger.13. What made the cashier more energetic in her work?A. The praise from a little girl.B. The support of the customers.C. The competition environment.D. The understanding of a mother.14. What does the author think of her daughter now?A. Kind and independent.B. Lively and cheerful.C. Careful and generous.D. Smart and proud.15. What is the best title of the text?A. The Beauty Of Good MannersB. The Power In Raising Others UpC. A Girl's New Way OutOf TroubleD. A Mother's Love For Her Daughter第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Since then, I had learned to get about with a walking stick, but had to stay at home because my parents thought I would get lost or robbed, even get hit by a car.I, however, believed I could regain my way if I lost it. A neighbor told me that a public library was offering a free course designed for the blind. That's an important opportunity for me to kill two birds with one stone: I could practice my getting — about skills on my way to learning practical technology. My parentssettled forit.But how would I plan my course? I knew that the blind singer Ray Charles, get around without a walking stick by counting steps. But I couldn't seem to do that the way he had. I developed the power of my imagination, catching the layout（布局）of places I visited and taking note of landmarks in my mind. Every time I visited a place, the mental map I'd drawn would turn up and helped me with the direction. But that doesn't mean I didn't lose my way in the process of acquiring this skill. I'd have to swallow（吞下）my pride to ask kind strangersfor help.On those days I lost my way, I'd go to bed feeling down. But my desires to beat blindness and further my education were usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again. Today, I'm a published reporter and audio producer.Yes, I've lost my way at times and found it again. And when people ask me,"Aren't you afraid to be out on your own?” the answer to me is clear：I'd rather risk and find happiness than stick to safety and be painful.Now, impressed by my progress, my father told my mother, "Our boy can see!".8.

Cooke turned and hardly had time to react before a flying disc hit her in the face with a "big bang”, leaving her right cheek swollen almost to the size of a golfball.Two men playing disc golf at the course in Jellie Park were about 20 metres fromthe pairwhen one of them threw the disc hard, aiming for a nearby goal.After being hit Cooke immediately went to the emergency department, where two CT scans on her face and cheek found she had escaped any broken bones. "I'm lucky it didn't hit my eye because I think I would have lost it." Cooke said.Cooke often walks her dog at the park and said it was always busy with people playing disc golf, but it was not until after Tuesday that she became concerned about public safety there.There were no signs about the disc golf course in the park, she said, and the area is shared with children and people walking their dogs.“If it had hit one of the kids in the head, it could have killed them.” Cooke did not think she was the only person who had been hit before, and said there would be others who share her concerns.Cooke planned to go to the council, saying it needed to realise how dangerous it was for the space to be shared by everyone and to provide disc golfers with a space where they can play safely.

2020届济南齐鲁学校高三英语一模试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn theUnited States, the word "holiday" is synonymous with celebration. The following tenholidaysper year are proclaimed by the federal government.Independence DayIndependence Day is annually celebrated on July 4 and is often known as "the Fourthof July”. It is the anniversary of the publication of the declaration of independence fromGreat Britainin 1776. Now it is celebrated in all the states. The army marks the occasion by firing a 13-gun salute every year. Ceremonies may include parades, official speeches, visits to historic monuments and fireworks displays.Memorial DayThis holiday, on the fourth Monday of every May, is a day on which Americans honor the dead. Originally a day on which flags and flowers were placed on graves of soldiers who died in the American Civil War, now it has become a day on which the dead of all wars and all other dead are remembered the same way.Veterans DayVeterans Day was established to honor Americans who had served in World War I. It falls on November 11, the day when that war ended in 1918, but it now honors veterans of all wars in which the United States has fought Veterans' organizations hold parades or other special ceremonies, and the US president customarily places a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National.ThanksgivingThanksgiving Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It has been an annual tradition in theUnited Statessince 1863. Today, people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner. Thanksgiving dinner almost always includes some of the foods served at the first feast: roast turkey, cranberry sauce potatoes pumpkin pies. Before the meal begins, families often pause to give thanks.1. When isIndependence Day?A. May 14，B. July 13.C. July 14.D. July 4.2. Which holiday honors dead soliders?A. Independence Day.B. Memorial Day.C. Veterans Day.D. Thanksgiving.3. What will Americans do on Thanksgiving Day?A. They say thanks.B. They havefriend gatherings.C. They go on holiday.D. They buy many cards.BIn a study published in Nature Machine Intelligence, researchers at Ohio State University show how artificial intelligence（AI）can follow clinical trials to identify drugs for repurposing, a solution that can help advance innovative treatments.Repurposing drugs is legal and not unusual. When doctors prescribe(开处方)drugs that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA)for purposes different from what is printed on the labels, the drugs are being used “off-label” Just because a drug is FDA-approved for a specific type of disease does not prevent it from having possible benefits for other purposes.For example, Metformin, a drug that is FDA-approved for treating type 2 diabetes, is also used to treat PCOS(a disease of women), and other diseases. Trazodone, an anti-depressant with FDA-approval to treat depression, is also prescribed by doctors to help treat patients with sleep issues.The Ohio State University research team created an AI deep learning model for predicting treatment probability with patient data including the treatment, outcomes, and potential confounders(干扰因素).Confounders are related to the exposure and outcome. For example, a connection is identified between music festivals and increases in skin rashes(红疹). Music festivals do not directly cause skin rashes. In this case, one possible confounding factor between the two may be outdoor heat, as music festivals tend to run outdoors when the temperature is high, and heat is a known cause for rashes. When working with real-world data, confounders could number in the thousands. AI deep learning is well-suited to find patterns in the complexity of potentially thousands of confounders.The researcher team used confounders including population data and co-prescribed drugs. With this proof-of-concept, now clinicians have a powerful AI tool to rapidly discover new treatments by repurposing existing medications.4. What do we know about a drug used off-label?A. It is sold without a label.B. It is available at a low price.C. Its uses extend beyond the original ones.D. Its clinical trials are rejected by doctors.5. Metformin and Trazodone are similar as both of them________.A. are used off-labelB. treat rare diseasesC. result in sleep issuesD. are medical breakthroughs6. What can be inferred about “confounders”?A. They are possible treatments.B. They are environmental factors.C. They can be easily recognized in real-world data.D. They should be taken into serious consideration.7. What is the main idea of the text?A. AI examines benefits of existing drugs.B. AI identifies off-label uses for drugs.C. AI finds new drugs for common diseases.D. AI proves the power of drug research.CBrian Hamilton's life changed in a prison when he went there with his friend, Reverend Robert J. Harris, who often went to local prisons to do ministry work. During the visit,Hamiltonstarted talking to one of the prisoners and asked what he was going to do when he got out. “He said he was going to get a job,”Hamiltonrecalls. “I thought to myself, wow, that’s going to be difficult with a criminal background.”The conversation madeHamiltonconsider how to help those who came out from prison. Finally in 2008, 16 years after that initial conversation,Hamiltoncreated Inmates to Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit organization that helps people with criminal backgrounds start their own small businesses.At the time,Hamiltonwas building his own company, a software technology company for the banking industry. As his company grew, so didHamilton’s time devoted to giving lessons to prisoners. He averaged three to four courses a month at prisons throughoutNorth Carolina.Eventually,Hamiltondecided to shift his focus to his true passion. In May 2019, he sold his company and focused on helping those who were imprisoned. His online courses will be set next year. “By March 1, 2022,anyone will be able to access the courses, either to become a certificated instructor or to access it for themselves as a prisoner or part of the general population,”Hamiltonexplained. In addition, he visits middle schools and presents the course to at-risk students as a preventative measure against crime.The free course is funded by the recently established Brian Hamilton Foundation, which offers assistance to military members as they return to civilian life and provides loans o small businesses. “Starting up a business isn't for everyone, but if we make opportunities available, and let people know that other people care about them, it makes a difference.”Hamiltonsaid.8.

A man successfully created two organizations.DGray wolves have lived inNorth Americafor at least half a million years. Their living areas once included most of the continentalUnited States. But during the 1800s and early 1900s, wolves were hunted to near extinction(灭绝).By the 1960s, theU. S.wolf population was limited to a handful of creatures in small comers of the northernMidwest.Then, in 1973, a law, the ESA, was passed to protect animals from becoming extinct. Gray wolves were one of the first animals placed on the endangered-species(濒危物种)list. Killing them wasillicit. And theU. ernmentworked to promote their protection. In a famous example of this effort, starting in 1995, 31 wolves were moved fromCanadatoYellowstoneNational Park. By 2015, more than 500 gray wolves were living in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem(生态系统).Today, the continentalU. S.is home to more than 6,000 gray wolves. On January 4, 2021, theU. ernment removed gray wolves from the endangered-species list.Usually, an animal's removal would be cause for celebration. But some environmental protectors say the wolves still need protection. In some parts of the country, wolves are increasing in numbers. More than a thousand of them can be found just inMichiganandWisconsin. But overall, their range is still a small part of what it was. Wolves used to live across most of the U. S. Now they , are found in fewer than a dozen states. Others argue that as long as a species is not in danger of extinction, it doesn't belong on the endangered-species list. And farmers with land near wolf living areas say that if the wolf's population continues to grow, more of their farm animals will be killed by wolves.But some protection groups worry that without protection, the wolf population will crash again.

2020年济南市第一中学高三英语一模试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABob and Sue Harvey spent nine years as resident fellows in a dormitory at Sanford and in their bookVirtual Reality and The College Freshman, they write “The Freshman oftenfaces an identity problem during the first semester.” College is a more pressured environment than it used to be, in part because the academic gap between high school and college has increased. Many college freshmen have never had to make independent decisions about sex, drugs and alcohol. Most don’t know how to manage their time or money. They often feel lonely and overwhelmed, resulting in anxiety and depression.Nancy Corbin, director of clinical service for student-counseling (咨询) services at Iowa State University, says her office is seeing a significant increase in requests for counseling from freshmen who are having trouble making the adjustment to college life. She says older teenagers increasingly lack the skills to deal with personal problems that aren’t easily defined or fixed. And they get homesick but have a hard time admitting it.Parents and high schools can make things easier on freshmen by preparing them differently. For example, by teaching them to budget their hours and dollars. The Harveys think high schools should offer a college-life course. “Parents need to focus more on relationship and personal issues and less on how many sheets and towels to take,” they say. Many homesick freshmen think they’ll be regarded as failures if they come home before Thanksgiving. So parents can help by letting them know they’re welcome to return if they feel the need. In the meantime, parents have to find new ways to keep in touch with their college kids. One of the best ways is e-mail. It’s less unpleasant and less expensive than constant phone calls and is more likely to be answered than a handwritten letter.1. Why is the first semester difficult for freshmen in college?A. Because they often fail in exams.B. Because they lack time and money.C. Because they are too homesick to make new friends.D. Because they have to settle personal issues on their own.2. In the last paragraph, it is suggested that ________.A. parents should stop buying anything for their kidsB. parents should develop a good relationship with their kidsC. parents should be taught how to send e-mails to their kidsD. parents should work with high schools in college-life courses3. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Hard Life of College FreshmenB. Approaches to Trouble in CollegeC. Freshmen’s Adaptation ProblemsD. A Strange Phenomenon in CollegeBWho is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color1 or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published bySciencefound that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found thatgirls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: ly not.Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”4. What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?A. They're unfair.B. They're conservative.C. They're objective.D. They're strict.5. What can we infer about girls from the study inScience?A. They think themselves smart.B. They look up to great thinkers.C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs6. Why are more geniuses known to the public?A. Improved global communication.B. Less discrimination against women.C. Acceptance of victors' concepts.D. Changes in people's social positions.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Geniuses Think AlikeB. Genius Takes Many FormsC. Genius and IntelligenceD. Genius and LuckCScientists have discovered a new behaviour among bumblebees that tricks plants into flowering early.When lack of pollen, bumblebees will bite little by little on the leaves of flower-less plants. The damage seems to fool the plant into flowering, sometimes up to 30 days earlier than normal.With their hairy appearance and special sounds, bumblebees are hard to miss in gardens all over the world. Their hairy bodies make them excellent pollinators for crops like tomatoes and blueberries. They are among the first bees to appear each year and work a long season.But despite their key role, bumblebees, like many other pollinators have seen their numbers decline suddenly in recent decades. One recent study pointed to climate change, reporting that an increasing number of hot days in Europe andNorth Americawas raising local bumblebees extinction rates.But researchers have now made a discovery about bumblebees that could have something to do with their long term survival. Scientists inSwitzerlandfound that when the bumblebees were out of pollen, they started to bite on the leaves of plants that hadn't yet flowered. They used their mouths to cut clearly-shaped holes in the leaves. But the creatures didn't eat the material or use it in their nests.The damaged plants responded by flowering earlier than normal--in some cases up to 30 days ahead of schedule. Researchers also found that the bee damaged plants flowered 30 days earlier than undamaged plants and 25 days earlier than ones damaged by the scientists.“I think everything that we've found is consistent with the idea that the bumblebees are damaging the plants and that that's an adaptation that brings flowers earlier and that benefits the bees,” said Dr Mark Mescher, one ofthe authors from ETHZurich.8. How do bumblebees fool plants into flowering earlier?A. By making use of the hot weather.B. By putting the false flowers on the leaves.C. By attacking the leaves of flowerless plants.D. By taking away the pollen from the other flowers.9. What's bumblebees’ key role?A.Making plants flower early.B. Spreading pollen to flowers and plants.C. Sending information about weather change.D. Finding out whether the plant has flowers.10. What has happened to bumblebees in the past the years?A. They are becoming homesick.B. They are not as friendly as before.C. There is a sharp decrease in number.D. They have been busy year by year.11. What's Dr Mark Mescher's attitude towards the behaviour of bumblebees?A. Uncaring.B. Skeptical.C. Tolerant.D. Objective.DIn recent years, with the development of technology, it is common to see robots into our homes in the form of toys and vacuums (吸尘器) without question. Children’s toys that rely on robotics for both entertainment and education are becoming more popular and more easily accessible. Robot vacuums, too, are so popular that the Roomba has even earned itself a name in popular television.A selection of other household wares can be purchased and owned for a reasonable cost, but they all look and perform like vacuums. Our domestic helpers are currently designed to vacuuming, mopping, sweeping and mowing.Of course the best known of these is the Roomba, but there is actually some competition amongst the autonomous vacuum manufacturers. Roomba, made by iRobot, now comes in several designs and has been through many versions of improvements. The basic model is just about $400, but there’s a more attractive version, complete with a wireless command center to control the robot from anywhere in the home. Samsung also has a vacuum, called the Smart Tango, which makes increased improvements on the Roomba by including brushes for cleaning corners. It’s possible that some of the less well-known vacuums might be even more exciting, like the Neato Robotics XV that takes on a square shape to better clean corners. Incremental (增值的) improvements are what drive the home robot industry.Now that domestic robots are becoming more popular, the near future should be exciting. If we are going to welcome robots into our lives and our homes, we should expect them to work for it, and work hard. It’s the dawnof the robot revolution, whether we like it or not, and it would be great to see that technology put to use in more innovative(创新的) ways.12. What does Roomba in the passage mean?A. A man’s name who has bought a domestic robot.B. A name of a big company who makes robots.C. A type of vacuum whose name is Roomba.D. A place where people can buy proper robots.13. The Smart Tango is different from other types in that ________.A. it has a wireless command centerB. it has brushes for cleaning cornersC. it is more famous and excitingD. it is driven without electricity14. What can we infer according to the last paragraph?A. Domestic robots will free us from housework.B. Domestic robots will become cheaper and cheaper.C. Domestic robots have brought environmental revolution.D. Domestic robots takes the lead in science and technology.15. What does the author intend to tell in the passage?A. Domestic robots are closely related to our daily life.B. It is interesting to see domestic robots at home.C. Domestic robots are too expensive for most people.D. It is convenient to buy a domestic robot.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
