(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)(共15题;共30分)ADuring ancient times,children didn’t have smartphones,iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead,they came up with interesting games to play.★Stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty,kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China,and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold.Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet.In1999,the sport was included in the6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.★Flying kitesKites have quite a long history.The earliest kites were made of wood,instead of paper.Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite,Tianjin kite,Weifang kite and Nantong kite,of which each has distinctive features.The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.★Hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children,popular around the nation.There are two ways to play:covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄)him or,more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.★Playing diabolosA diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center.By juggling(边抛边接)the diabolo on the rope,the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle.Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game,especially popular in North China.Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage.1．Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?A．To practice their feet B．To warm themselvesC．To train their skills D．To relax themselves.2．Which kites are swallow-shaped?A．Weifang kites.B．Tianjin kites.C．Beijing kites.D．Nantong kites.3．According to the passage,which one is a national intangible cultural heritage?A．Stone balls.B．Flying kites.C．Hide-and-seek.D．Playing diabolosBTechnology usually distracts us from nature.But now technology is“offering us an opportunity to listen to nonhumans in powerful ways,reviving our connection to the natural world,”wrote professor Karen Bakker in her new book,The Sounds of Life:How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants.All around the animal kingdom,there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher.Elephants, for example,communicate with each other using infrasound,a sound frequency far below our human hearing range.Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves,with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow.This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears!Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect.After the sounds are recorded,AI is then able to determine their meaning,according to the news website Vox.There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances.Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into“a zoological version of Google Translate”.One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant.She explained how elephants“have a different signal for honeybee,which is a threat,and a different signal for human,”in an interview with Vox.“Moreover,they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,”she said.This technology can not only understand the animals,but also communicate back to them.For example,bees use dances to communicate to their peers where to go in search of nectar.A research team in Germany,therefore,fed the bee language AI database system into a robot bee,allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move,Vox reported.Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes,with there being many examples of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)having been taught sign language to communicate with humans,this new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.4．What does the underlined word“decipher”most probably mean in paragraph2? A．Understand.B．Hear.C．Produce.D．Record.5．What helps baby coral choose their home?A．Infrasound.B．Sounds within human range of hearing. C．Sounds through its ears.D．Sound waves.6．What can we infer from the passage?A．Bees used dances to warn their peers of danger.B．Human fed listening devices into coral to detect it.C．Elephants have different signals for different purposes.D．Elephants can tell whether there are threatening animals around.7．Why did researchers create the robot bee?A．To collect more bee dances.B．To convey direction to bees.C．To learn the language of bees.D．To help bees search for their friends.CWhen you are travelling in Thailand,which means of transport is the best choice?You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand.It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north.The most popular bikes are the little125cc Honda Dream which you can get for about150baht(铢)a day or as little as3,000baht per month,making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi.When you are in cities in Thailand,especially in Bangkok,always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads.Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(计程表).They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good,so renting cars is another way to get around.The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable price.It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West.Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand,more expensive than American prices,but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe.In the past,Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai (泰语)only,making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around.But now,the situation is improved.In a lot of places,even the farthest corners of the country,street signs are in both Thai and English.8．To a foreigner,the cheapest way to get around Thailand is renting a______.A．car B．taxi C．bike D．motorbike9．What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?A．To take a taxi going on the road.B．To take a taxi parked outside hotels.C．To make sure there is a meter in it.D．To bargain with the driver over the price. 10．Why was it difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past?A．Because there were too many traffic jams on the roads.B．Because there were no signs showing directions.C．Because the signs were written only in their own language.D．Because the quality of the roads was not good.11．In which part of magazine can this passage be found?A．Entertainment B．Tourism C．Market D．AdvertisementDWilliam I,who conquered England some930years ago,had wealth,power and an army.Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time,he had nothing like a flush toilet(抽水马桶)，or riding lawn mower(除草机).How did he get by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me.I have storm windows, Croesus did not.Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great,but he couldn,t buy cat food.Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people,you,d think I,d be content.The trouble is that,like most people,I compare my wealth with that of living persons:neighbors,school classmates,famous TV people.The greed I feel toward my friend Howard,s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.’There is really no rising or falling standard of living.Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about.You,d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood,but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course,one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today,s standards the things I own are pretty nice.My house is smaller than the houses of many investments bankers,but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides,to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future,these bankers,fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can,t keep up with my neighbors right now.But just wait.12．What does the underlined phrase“get by”in the first paragraph mean?A．Succeed as a king.B．Deal with complaints.C．Live in s satisfactory way.D．Get some extra money.13．How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A．3.B．4.C．5D．614．According to the passage,the author.intends to.A．tell us to be content with lifeB．warn us to live in a simple wayC．teach us to learn lessons from lifeD．encourage us to struggle for wealth15．What,s the author,s attitude towards life?A．Doubtful.B．Optimistic.C．Uncaring.D．Cautious.二、阅读理解第二节七选五(5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)(共1题;共10分)Table manners are the ultimate way to show respect or some accidental disrespect to yourhost.___16___.In France,you are supposed to use two hands to eat—either fork and knife or fork and bread.Bread isn't meant to be an appetizer.___17___When you eat the bread,tear off a piece of it to eat instead of biting directly into the bread.When not in use,the bread belongs on the table or tablecloth instead of the plate.Finishing everything on your plate is a no-no in many Asian countries.___18___Leaving a small amount on your plate symbolizes that you've had your fill and acknowledges your host's generosity.___19___So,tipping,in their culture,is rude.Even if they don’t assume you’re being rude,they can

Note that there is one word more than you needagree suffer system notice throughdangerous space limited absorbs let outFor years scientist have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more _1_ than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to _2_ eye-pain, headache and other problems.

As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control _7_ for building green plants. Scientist do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant produces oxygen _8_ its leaves and through its tiny organizations on its roots.

Studies of different plants show that each _9_ different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants.

Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classlesssociety' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.10．A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.A．people regard themselves socially differentB．most people belong to middle classC．it is easy to recognize a person’s classD．it is time to end class distinction11．The word “stratification” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A．variety B．qualification C．authority D．division 12．British attitudes towards accent ________.A．are based on regional statusB．have a long traditionC．are shared by the AmericansD．have changed in recent years13．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The middle class is expandingB．A person’s accent reflects his classC．Class is a key part of British societyD．Each class has unique characteristics.Kids are cool to wear blue jeans and T-shirts today. It is fashionable like that. Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. It’s important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends isn’t that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!During the 1960s and 1970s, Hippies made bell—bottomed blue jeans（喇叭裤）popular. Also, in the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants（降落伞裤）all the fashion. Now try to find these items in today’s clothing stores!Do you know why fashions change？The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movies stars, as well as popular films, television shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industry’s advertising.The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain（保持）their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate(模仿) their favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.Clothes have been used to separate people into groups for many years. Even today,brand-name, clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to make themselves different from others.Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Don’t forget that it’s always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality — not your clothes — speak for who you are!14．What does the example of bell—bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 2suggest?A．Fashion always changes.B．Stars are always influential.C．People have different dressing styles.D．Hippies and Michael Jackson are good designers.15．What causes the changes of fashions?A．Advertisements change rapidly.B．Popular culture influences people.C．Movie stars are changing over time.D．New films and shows replace the old.16．We can learn from the text that _____ .A．fashion is all about clothes.B．the author has gone out of fashion.C．clothes may separate and distance people.D．people like imitate others’ dressing style.17．What does the author mainly want to stress in the last paragraph?A．The advantages of staying unique.B．The bad effects of following fashion.C．The good influences of popular styles.D．The importance of having one’s own personality.The new study shows that we spend more time using the mobile Internet than reading newspapers or magazines. According to the European Interactive Advertising Association (EIAA), the average European spends 4.8 hours reading newspapers and magazines but 1.6 hours more using the mobile Internet a week.The EIAA questioned 15, 000 people in 15 European countries, looking at how people are using the Internet and its influence on their everyday lives. It has found that the mobile Internet is increasingly finding its way into the public awareness. Over 71 million Europeans now have Internet access on their mobiles phones. In the UK, 10 million people now access the Internet through their mobile phones and spend 6. 3 hours doing so in a week.Unsurprisingly younger generations in the UK are leading the way, with nearly half of the country’s 16-to-24-year-olds and a quarter of 25-to-34-year-olds using the mobile Internet,spending 6.5 and 6.2 hours online each week.Entertainment plays a major role in our mobile Internet lives, with one in five British people using their phones for online games, a third listening to the online radio and 39 percent watching films, TV or other videos at least once a week. One third of those using an Internet phone said they received videos, images or other multimedia on their mobile, and 61 percent said they passed on contents they received.From a communication point of view, 80 percent of those questioned agreed that the Internet had made it easier for them to stay in touch with friends and family.Alison Fennah, director of the EIAA, said the mobile Internet use had come to the point that marketers should be looking to develop strategies that connect with consumers more effectively. ‘‘Better devices as well as improved consumer motivation that start coming together in 2011 can make a great difference to extending the online experience.” Fennah said.18．How long does a European spend on the mobile Internet per week according to the EIAA?A．6. 2 hours.B．6. 4 hours.C．4. 8 hours.D．1. 6 hours.19．What do the words “doing so” mean in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Reading papers and magazines.B．Playing computer games.C．Watching films online.D．Using the mobile Internet.20．What do people mainly use the mobile Internet for?A．Communication.B．Study.C．Amusement.D．Advertising.21．It can be known from the passage that _______.A．more than half of the young people in the UK use the mobile Internet.B．the Internet is the most effective way to stay in touch with friends and family.C．the UK has the largest number of people who use the mobile Internet in Europe. D．better devices and improved consumer motivation help extend the online experience. 22．The author wrote the passage to tell us ________.A．how to use mobile phones to surf the InternetB．newspapers and magazines will disappear soonC．mobile surfing now is more popular than readingD．how the Internet influences our daily lifeGive a little sunshine!The Council on Aging (COA) runs a telephone friendship project called the Sunshine Call Program, matching over-60s with a friendly volunteer for a daily chat over the phone.

When comfortable, the volunteer introduces a second senior to the call. Then another, until there are four seniors to one volunteer on what is essentially a conference call.

They will then exchange phone numbers to chat on their own and reduce their isolation.What are the volunteer qualifications?V olunteers must have access to the Internet and be willing to be trained on the use of a chat app. COA will provide all supplies required to make the calls. Besides, volunteers must agree to participate in monthly meetings with other volunteers and guest speakers.

What you want is respect and admiration from other people. ____28____ It almost never does—especially from the people you want to respect and admire you.____29____ Not struggling, and not unhappy, of course. But there’s no way to learn the value of money without feeling the power of lacking it. It teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable. It’ll make you learn to enjoy what you have, fix what’s broken, and shop for a bargain. These are primary survival skills.Some people are born into families that encourage education; others are from families that are against it. Some are born into peace and wealth; others, into war and poverty. I want you to be successful, and I want you to earn it. But realize that not all success is due to hard work and being poor is not always due to laziness. ____30____Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend. I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck, always on the edge of ruin. I know another person who has never earned more than $50,000 but saved a fortune____31____ Living with less is the most efficient way to control your financial future.Don’t listen to me if you disagree with what I’ve written. The world you grow up in will have different values and opportunities than the one I did. More importantly, you’ll learn best when you disagree with someone and then are forced to learn it yourself. On the other hand, always listen to your mother.A．I hope you’re poor at some point.B．If you do think so, you may get wrong.C．When he does, here are some suggestionsD．Your goals should be about more than money.E．You think having something expensive will bring it.F．The difference is entirely due to the way they spend.G．Keep this in mind when judging people, including yourself.四、完形填空The summer was over.

I was so embarrassed that I could not look at anyone as I walked by them on my way to school after that incident happened, feeling like it was my fault entirely for not walking fast enough to get out of the way of this person who was honking his horn at us for taking up part of "his" road space in what he considered an unsafe manner (not walking in the crosswalk).

Note that there are tvvo more sentences than you need.Most people don't need science to appreciate the importance of a mother's love. But to understand how early maltreatment can derail a child's development requires careful study.In a famous research, Harry Harlow had demonstrated that proper psychological and physical development of infants requires nurturing and attention from a parent.（1）______ In that research, socially isolated monkey babies that were removed from their mothers were found to be clinging to a cloth—covered surrogate mother for comfort.Such experimentations sound cruel. They, however, have been critical in helping change policies in human orphanages（孤儿院）in the U. S. For centuries sonic orphanages treated infants equally inhumanely. Despite early evidence that orphanage infants were far more likely to die than others, supporters argued that it didn't matter whether children had "parents" specially devoted to them at the orphanage.（2）______ Orphans were supposed to be in positive mental and physical health until adoptive parents were found. Babies, they said, couldn't remember anyway.The harrowing consequences of these theories were most vividly brought to light in Romania in the 1980s and 90s. A ban on abortion（流产）led to a surge in orphanage babies. Simply being fed and changed without individualized affection, some babies present serious problems. Many developed violent behaviors, repetitively rocking or banging their heads. Some were cold and withdrawn or indiscriminately affectionate.（3）______ Their head sizes were especially small.They even had problems with attention and comprehension. The longer these children were left alone, the more damage was seen.The lack of a secure attachment relationship in the early years has destructive consequences for both physical and mental health later in life, with long-lasting effects. The persistence of these effects emphasizes the need to intervene early in life. The Nobel-prize-winning economist James Heckman, has long argued that investing in early childhood education provides a greater returns for society than virtually any other type of spending. It is obviously reflected in increased educational success and productivity. The reduced crime, addiction, distress and disorder point to the same theory. Early life conditions critically affect adult life.（4）________Remove it and the harm is great.A. The appropriate feeding and caring styles were greatly rewarded in all aspects.B. It was claimed that simply feeding and changing them would be adequate.C. Some, however, demonstrate little influence with roughly ordinary behavior pattern.F. And they simply didn't grow like normal infants.25. On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise（MLE），I didn't get a lot of fan mail，so my attention was caught by a letter on my desk one morning．When I opened it，I read："Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers．Keep up the good work．"It was signed by Don Wolfe，the sports editor． Because I was a teenager（being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch），his words could not have been more inspiring，I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got old．Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to a writer，I would reread Don's note and ________ again．Later，when I got to know him，I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick，encouraging note to people in all walks of life，"When I make others feel good about themselves，"he told me，"I feel good，too．"Over the years，I've tried to copy Don and write uplifting words．In a world too often cold and unresponsive，such notes bring warmth．Why are positive note writers in such short supply My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self﹣conscious．They are afraid they will be misunderstood．Thus it may cause troubles and problems．And it sounds insincere on the phone，Also，writing takes time；it is far easier to pick up the phone．The drawback of phone calls，of course，is that they do not last．A note attaches more importance to our well﹣wishing．It is a matter of record，and our words can be read more than once savored （回味） and treasured，and they bring strength and love to us．Today I sent a warm letter to my old boss．I don't know if it will make his day，but it made mine．As my friend Don Wolfe said．"Making others feel good about themselves makes me feel good too．"（1）What does the underlined part "walk on air" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？（No more than 5 words）________（2）According to the author，why aren't people willing to write letters？（No more than 15 words）________（3）Why did the author write to his old boss？（No more than 15 words）________（4）What's the text mainly about？（No more than 10 words）________（5）Were you encouraged by anybody？And how？（No more than 25 words）________四、完形填空（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）26.(5分)First FailureI leaned my head on my hand.

Some take over-the-counter（非处方的）medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies（治疗）like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it's easy to believe it's medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral（抗病毒的）drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw（拼图）, which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus（鼻病毒）A and B. But they didn't find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C."This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus," study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daliy.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus , showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don't really work.（1）What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?A.They are quite effective.B.They are slightly helpful.C.They actually have no effect.D.They still need to be improved.（2）How do antiviral drugs work?A.By breaking up cold viruses directly.B.By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.C.By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.D.By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.（3）What can we infer from the passage?A.The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.B.Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.C.Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.D.Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.（4）What is the best title for this passage?A.Drugs against cold virusesB.Helpful home remediesC.No current cure for common coldD.Research on cold viruses28.Who was the most important person of the year?

2023全国高考英语真题模拟卷(附答案)
2023全国高考英语真题模拟卷一、阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）1．阅读理解Food is one of the necessities in our daily life. It serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between countrysides and cities within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.（1）According to the passage, sharing bread______.A．can help to develop unityB．indicates a lack of foodC．is a custom unique to rural areasD．has its roots in birthday celebrations（2）The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______.A．analyzing causes B．making comparisonsC．using examples D．describing processes（3）What is the passage mainly about?A．The custom of sharing food.B．The specific meaning of food.C．The role of food in ceremonies.D．The importance of food in culture.2．阅读理解The effects of coffee consumption on health have long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty.Since the 1980s,some have spoken out against coffee as harmful to health,while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.According to a scientific report,mild coffee consumption,three to five cups per day,can he taken as a healthy dietary pattern,along with other healthful behaviors.The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinson's disease.According to Dr.Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic,high consumption of coffee has healthrisks.Dr.Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body.Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people.According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr.Gregory Marcus,a doctor from the University of California San Francisco,daily moderate consumption of caffeine,less than 4 cups,is not associated with these issues.Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health,it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.When informed of these possible health benefits and harms of drinking coffee,Harwood,a high school student stated,"Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee,for the most part,coffee drinking sounds good for health.Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake."（1）What is the people's attitude towards the effects of coffee on health according to Paragraph 1?A．Disapproving.B．Tolerant.C．Doubtful.D．Mixed.（2）What does the underlined word "moderate" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Personal.B．Slight.C．Reasonable.D．Heavy.（3）What can we infer about Harwood?A．He'll keep on drinking coffee.B．He loves his high school life.C．He often falls asleep in class.D．He has some health problems.（4）What would be the best title for the text?A．Why People Love Coffee?B．How Coffee Affects Health?C．The Culture of Coffee Drinking D．The New Findings of Heart Disease3．阅读理解As the saying goes, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827)Born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna. He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and the sale of his compositions(作曲). The last 30 years of Beethoven's life were filled with a lot of hard times, the first of which was his deafness. Beethoven's music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.Johann Sebastian Bach(1685-1750)Bach, “the father of modern music”, was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist(风琴手) in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Seven years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court(宫廷) organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.Frederic Chopin (1810-1849)Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of his early works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818. Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.Franz Schubert(1797-1828)Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors(前辈),Schubert was not a great performer. He never had much money but he was very productive. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen.

The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“It's extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it's connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers' fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”（1）The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that __________.A．they had no model in their mindB．they did not have sufficient timeC．they had no ready-made componentsD．they could not assemble the components（2）It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly __________.A．consists of a flight device and a control systemB．can just fly in limited areas at the present timeC．can collect information from many sourcesD．has been put into wide application（3）Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A．The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.B．Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.C．There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.D．Wood's design can replace animals in some experiments.（4）Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．Father of Robotic FlyB．Inspiration from Engineering ScienceC．Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life InsectD．Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study二、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）5．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Cinderella Man
Russell Crowe teams up with the director Ron Howard for the story of the boxer James J. Braddock, who fell from___6___during the Great Depression, only to claw his way back and snatch the world heavyweight title in 1935. Crowe lends the character a___7___dourness (冷酷), refusing to turn Braddock’s bewildering comeback into a victory parade—a good thing, too, for without that unsmiling restraint the whole saga might sound too good to be true.
All this affected the way I thought about my studies. Did I want to work in a field where people treated patients as if they were numbers on a chart? After Stanley died, I finished my studies and graduated with all the rest of students in my year. They went on to get jobs in hospitals, while I took a year out. I simply couldn’t face working in medicine.

The Alphabet MurdersTony Randall stars as the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot in the director Frank Tashlin’s extravagant 1965 adaptation of Agatha Christie’s “The ABC Murders,” infusing the sleuth’s punctilious style with___1___nerdiness. When Poirot turns up in London to see his tailor, he learns that a circus clown named Albert Aachen has been killed, and he decides to solve the case. Then a bowling instructor named Betty Barnard is murdered, and Poirot___2___the killer of working his or her way through the alphabet. Tashlin transforms the mystery into a giddy parody of Alfred Hitchcock’s films: borrowing his highly inflected, riotously___3___visual styles, Tashlin creates a sort of live-action cartoon, with distorting___4___yielding disorienting juxtapositions, whether from the explosive results of a dish of kidneys flambé or during balletic capers at a bowling alley. In an intricate set piece, Tashlin transforms a casino’s glossy formalities into a theatre of horror, though his subject isn’t bloody murder but its irresistibly macabre, media-friendly allure—the power of such tales to liberate creative energy and___5___the oppressive dullness of daily life an invigorating jolt.—Richard Brody (Streaming on Amazon and playing Sept. 3 on TCM.)
I began to see my patients as Stanley, and myself no longer as his sister, but one of his caregivers.
Now I was in their shoes—the people who spend every day caring for others.
While Stanley was sick, I was a medical student. I therefore put a lot of time and energy in the medical profession. It gave me an insider’s view of the care Stanley received, when most people spending time with a very sick loved one only have an outside view. However, as I see now it made me judge the care that his doctors and nurses gave him too harshly (严厉的).
It was then that I understood what difficult job health providers do. It made me think back to my experiences with doctors and nurses when Stanley was sick. Perhaps what I had thought was unprofessionalism (不专业) or coldness was just a reflection of the demanding nature of the work.
Braddock is presented as a man without sin; his wife, Mae (Renée Zellweger),___8___arosy-cheeked optimism even when food is scarce; and their children form a group portrait of well-scrubbed___9___. Anybody whose memory resounds to “Raging Bull,” with its bedevilled hero, will feel badly shortchanged by this picture, yet Howard is the right man for_____10_____simplicity, and his casting is on the money. Braddock’s opponents are gratifyingly bisonlike, and Paul Giamatti, looking natty in a gray plaid suit and tie, has a ball in the role of Joe Gould, the trainer who stood by his man.

My brother Stanley died last January from cancer, and I spent a lot of time with him in hospital over his last few months. I witnessed the care he received and, at the time, I thought it was poor. It shocked and hurt me.
