Though that sounds like the beginning paragraph of a suck-up(奉承者), it’s true. I love reading and writing, and while I may not be the best at it, certainly try my hardest. I intend to run for EHS Vice President, along with Jordan Pincus, because I feel that’s the best position for me in this Honor Society. I want to be able to share my own ideas on how to better improve EHS without being the absolute top, and what better position for that than Vice President.I feel I’m qualified for this position because I’m full of great ideas and love English.I actually get English, and get along very well with others, which is very important for a board member. As a team, Jordan and I work very well together. Despite some disagreeing from time to time, the two of us actually end up getting more done at a faster pace, and because we spend most of our time together, communication issues are not a problem. Nothing is better for Vice Presidents to have than two people who are always together. On top of that, we are both devoted to anything we start,so EHS will never be ignored by either of us.I will contribute all I can to EHS, whether in making sure meetings run smoothly or finding new projects/events for the club to do as a whole. I personally believe that I am fit for the job and will be able to perform tasks above the highest exceptions placed on me, which may sound a little prejudiced but I really think I'm fit for this! Thank you for reading this and taking me into consideration.24. Why does the author want to be EHS Vice President?A. He is very good at English.B. He has a talent for leadership.C. He is very willing to help others.D. He thinks he is fit for the position.25. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2?A. The author and Jordan can cooperate well.B. The author and Jordan are good friends.C. Jordan often quarrels with the author.D. Communication is very important for friends.26. What does “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Being EHS Vice President.B. Being always together.C. Communicating with each other.D. Having good ideas.27. What can we know about EHS?A.It is short for “Honor Society”.B. It is a club related to English.C. It can improve the students’ results.D. It often organizes some activities.CThis is a photo of a similar car I own. It’s a photo of a Skoda Fabia, I drive one too.A young guy also got out of a similar car as I was getting close to mine. I laughed and was prepared to leave. The young guy continued to have a conversation with me.He asked me how I found the car. It turned out that it was his first day to drive the car and it was new and it was a gift from his parents and he’d just p assed his driving test today! What a coincidence (巧合)!Well, this was a special moment for Nicholas. Who gets a newcar the day they learn to drive and then drives into a garage and has a talk with a woman who’s driving the same model of car? Yes, beautiful synchronicity (同步性) in full view.I wanted to make this moment special for Nicholas, and I wanted to gift him something. Thinking on my feet, I thought I’d buy him a lottery ticket (彩票) but it was n’t special enough.I got into my car and removed my Guardian Angel key ring which I had attached to my front mirror. It was there to keep me safe. My birthday is on Guardian Angel’s Day too, so this is very special to me. I gave it to Nicholas and he was happy to receive it. Nicholas gave me a big hug.Nicholas was not an overconfident guy. He also told me his mum was only out of hospital and now he’d be able to help her get about.I’ll order myself another Guardian Angel key ring for my car for fear that my Guardian Angel will not be protecting me without the key ring. As for Nicholas, well, I wish he and his passengers a lifetime of safe driving.28. What caused the conversation between the author and the young guy?A. The young guy’s excitement.B.

What was the author going to do next after meeting the guy?A. Buy a key ring for her car.B. See his mother in hospital.C. Give him more confidence.D. Tell him to drive quickly.DKindnessGood friends are not just kind to you; they are kind to others aswell. People like being around them because they are positive people.The kindness they spread comes from inner feelings of happiness andself-confidence. In contrast, social aggression, such as meanness, is aquality that shows lack of respect for others and discontent with oneself. These feelings outwardly show and eventually prevent communications and genuine friendships from forming.AcceptingGood friends are easy to talk to because they accept what you are. They understand the things that are important to you and the values that you hold. Although they may not necessarily agree with all of your beliefs and actions, they will never judge you. People who can accept you also are better able to accept themselves. High self-esteem and self-acceptance areintertwined.InterestAccording to American writer and lecturer, Dale Carnegie, showing genuine interest in others is one way to promote feelings of goodwill. People are more likely to remember how you make them feel. This goes beyond good listening skills. Good friends ask questions about things that matter to you. T o do this, they must put aside their own needs and focus on helping others feel important. If you make them feel inferior, they will not enjoy the time you spend together.HonestyAlthough honesty is important to friendships, it may be one of the most difficult qualities to maintain. When you ask a friend for honesty, she may prefer preserving the peace over telling you what she really thinks. But honesty promotes trust. A good friend cares enough to tell you the truth and has sufficient confidence in the relationship to be assured of a positive outcome.32. What does the kindness of a friend come from according to the passage?A. Respect.B. Excitement.C. Happiness.D. Belief.33. What good friends will do if you make them feel less important according to the passage?A. They will begin to care about their own needs.B. They will take no interest in you.C. They will feel uncomfortable to stay with you.D. They are more likely to question about themselves.34. The underlined word “intertwined” in the secondparagraph probablymeans___________.A. connectedB. complicatedC. obviousD. common35. What is the passage mainly about?A. Being kind to friends.B. Why we need friends.C. How to make friends.D. Qualities of a good friendship.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet (抽水马桶), paper towels, 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(颤抖) before Alexander the Great, but he couldn't buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw(电锯).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 person: neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people. The greed(贪婪) I feel toward my friend Howard's new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that 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 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 age from a century or two in the future, these bankers' fancy furniture and my own old Formica will seem equally shabby(寒酸的), I can't keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait.24.What does the underlined phrase "get by" in the first paragraph mean?A . Succeed as a king.B . Deal with complains.C . Get some extra money.D . Live in a satisfactory way.25.How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A . 3.B . 4.C . 5.D . 6.26. According to the passage, the author intends to .A . tell us to be content with lifeB . warn us to live in a simple wayC . leach us to learn lessons from lifeD . encourage us lo struggle for wealth27. What's the author's attitude towards life?A . Doubtful.B . Optimistic.C . Uncaring.D . Cautions.CIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According t o a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the greater the effect is, the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals”, also called second language learners (SLL) before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language. ” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two lang uages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的), ” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas. ”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another w orld. ” explained the scientists.28. The main subject talked about in this passage is ______.A. science on learning a second languageB. man’s ability of learning a second languageC. language can help brain powerD. language learning and maths study29. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ______.A. say language is also a kind of physical laborB. prove that one needs more practice when he is learning a languageC. show the importance of using the language when you learn the languageD. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well30. We may know from the scientific findings that ______.A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density isB. there is no difference between a later SLL and one not knowing a second languageC. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brainD. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time31. The unde rlined word “bilingual” probably means ______.A. a researcher on language learningB. a person who is good at learning foreign languagesC. a person who can speak two languagesD. an active language learnerDWhy do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.Think back to the time you took your very first sip (啜饮) of beer. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to some day develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.These bad habits aren’t self-control failures — far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.32. What do most people think causes bad behavior?A. Being forced by others.B. Not having enough will power.C. Enjoying their first experiences.D. Following the examples of their friends.33. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____.A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimesB. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagersC. self-control should be developed when one is youngD. everyone can be challenged by different temptations34. In the last paragraph, the author stresses that ____.A. without self-control, no one can succeedB. bad habits don’t always lead to bad resultsC. applying self-control correctly is importantD. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. My First Sip of BeerB. Do You Have Will Power?C. Will Power Benefits UsD. Dark Side of Self-control第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Becoming Refreshed without sleepingSometimes there is just not enough hours in the day to get everything done and get a good night's rest.36. Once in a while you can get away with a sleepless night and still feel reasonably good by adjusting your meals and activities.37. The last thing you want to do when you are tired is get warm and cozy, because this will cause you to fall asleep. Keeping the air conditioner on will make you feel much more alert and refreshed.Eat small amounts. Eating small amounts of healthy food will help refresh you. Fruit and nuts are a good choice because they are nutritious(有营养的) and will energize you. 38. Try to stick to low carbon meals to keep you going. Chewing(咀嚼) gum after your snack or small meal will also help keep you awake.Keep it bright. When it is dark your body thinks it is time to go to sleep. Turn on lots of lights, which will trick your body into waking up and feeling better. 39 You’ll get double the benefits if it is daytime.Take a break. Taking a little break will help you in the long run. Turn up some energizing music to get yourself positive. Relax and talk to a friend in person or on the phone for a few minutes. 40.A. Keep it coolB. Calm down and sleepC. Avoid big, heavy meals as they will make you tiredD. Go outside whether it is day or night for some fresh airE. Missing sleep regularly can make you sick and should be avoidedF. When you are tired, you may just want to sit around and do nothingG. Having a good time for a few minutes will refresh you quicker than anything else.第三节完形填空(共20小题;每题1.5分,满分30分)When I was a young boy growing up in North Dakota, my grandparents were farmers; And I remember the huge garden that my Grandma 41 .I promise you it was about 4,000 square metres.Well, 42 it seemed that way to me!

AMy Favourite BooksJo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series (系列) of lifestyle books.Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds.Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening,but they're also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt's about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student.In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hidingsecrets.Gone GirlGillian FlynnThere was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did,but the horror story is brilliant.There's tension and anxiety from thebeginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.It's a real whodunit and the frus-tration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.The StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around.After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds be-tween good and evil among those left.Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.21.Who does “I” refer to in the text?A.Stephen King. B.Gillian Flynn. C.Roald Dahl. D.Jo Usmar.22.Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?A.After Dark. B.Matilda. C.Cosmopolitan. D.The Stand.23.What kind of book is Gone Girl?A.A folk tale. B.A horror story. C.A love story. D.A biography.BRecently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My brother, mother and I live in a very rural district of Hawaii. Our farm is at least a dozen miles from the most basic of services. Therefore, I take weekly trips to COST-CO to get supplies. About a month ago, I finished loading up the car and was about to leave, when a piece of paper caught my eye. I picked it up and read it carefully.It was a receipt(收据) from the State Motor Vehicle Division, recording the own-er’s payment of her V ehicle’s Registration fees. At first I thought that I could find the owner. So I waited there for about an hour. Although the receipt had been borne (由……携带) on the wind, where in the busy, crowded parking lot would I find the owner? I looked over the receipt for contact or any personal data, perhaps a license tag(牌照)or telephone number. I checked the date, the fees paid, noted the name of the owner and pocketed the paper. I concluded that the best and easiest step to take was to put the receipt in an envelope and send it to the owner first the next morning.By the end of the week, I received a beautiful thank-you letter from a very grate-ful and happy woman containing a handwritten message and a gift card. In the letter, the woman explained how the wind snatched(夺去) her receipt from a pocket in her car’s passenger door. She had searched everywhere for quite some time before givingup.It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a loss by doing something that at first glance(一瞥) seemed little or even unimportant.24. What can we learn about the author?A. He lives downtown in Hawaii.B. He goes to the shop to get supplies once a week on foot.C. He is too poor to have basic supplies for his family.D. He is patient and willing to help others.25. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 probably refers to ______.A. the receipt B .the license tagC. the telephone numberD. the personal data26. How did the woman feel when receiving the author’s envelope?A. Proud B . Appreciated C. Disappointed D. Angry27. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Lesson I Will Never ForgetB. Never Lose Heart or Give UpC. Little Things Still Mean a LotD. Think Carefully Before You ActCThe British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if some-one gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) out-side.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expres-sions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.28. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?A. The British often enlarge the fact.B. The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.C. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.D.British jokes are connected with many different cultures.29. The author explains understatement by _______.A. describing a processB. making comparisonsC. following time orderD. using examples30. Mr. Bean makes laugh by ______.A. using his body movement and facial expressionsB. making jokes about others’ accentC. copying how others behaveD. telling funny stories31. What can be the best title for the text?A. British Humor in ComedyB. Humor in Different CulturesC. Understanding British HumorD. Developing Your Sense of HumorDHumans were designed to stand upright(直立). And yet in this modern world, too many of us spend our days with our heads lowered for a simple reason: we’re staring at the tiny screen of a smart phone.People spend an average of 2 to 4 hours each day with their neck bent while shooting off emails or texts. That’s 700 to 1,400 hours a year. The success of social media has led to a rapid development of bad smart phone posture(姿势).The average adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds when it’s in the upright position. However, because of the gravity, bending your head at a mere 15 degree puts 27 pounds of pressure on your spine(脊椎);a 30 degree neck bend could equal(等于) 40 pounds of pressure; a 45 degree bend adds the force of 49 pounds, according to the research from Dr. Kenneth Hansraj from New York. These stresses may lead to many problems.It’s no secret that correct posture is better for your back. According to the re-searchers, good posture is described as ears aligned(成一条直线) with the shoulders. In proper alignment, spinal stress disappeared. It is the best position for the spine. Standing tall doesn’t just make you look better; it improves your health, too. Other studies have found good posture has even been connected to ways of behaving. Peo-ple who have poorer posture often have poorer physical and emotional health.The researchers describe bad posture as “the head in a forward position and the shoulders dropping forward in a rounded position”. Bad posture has been connected to many medical problems, including headaches and other problems, depression and heart disease. This is why Hansraj said it’s important to be mindful of your smart phone posture. While it is nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause theseproblems, people should make an effort to look at their phones with a correct posture.32. Through the underlined sentence in paragraph 2, the author wants to show that _______.A. the social media have its bad sideB. the social media have made a great successC. people have to use social media unavoidablyD. more and more people are using smart phones33. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A. It’s healthy to bend your back regularly.B. Your back is getting exercise as you bend it.C. The more you bend your neck, the heavier the head becomes.D.The average weight of an adult head always changes.34. What is the correct posture?A. Bend your head within 15 degrees.B. Raise and lower your head in turn.C. Drop your head forward in a rounded position.D. Keep the positions of the neck and shoulders in a line.35. Where does the text most probably come from?A. A text book.B. A health report.C. A research plan.D. A book review.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

永和高中高一英语模拟试卷7(含参考答案)

永和高中高一英语模拟试卷7第二部分阅读理解(共两节,共40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,共30分)AThe symbol of Paris, the Eiffel Tower opened to the public on March 31, 1889, and its beauty has continued to spellbind the world for 130 years. But some little-known facts about the Eiffel Tower may surprise you. We’ve put together a list.It’s the world’s most visited paid tourist attractionAlmost seven million visitors each year pay the admission fee to visit the Eiffel Tower. Since it opened in 1889, nearly 300 million people have experienced the tower.There’s an apartment at the topA personal apartment that Gustave Eiffel used as an office was created at the top of the tower. Eif-fel entertained many important persons there, and today visitors to the apartment will see it as it looked in Ei ffel’s day, with life-like wax models (蜡像) of Eiffel and Thomas Edison.You could send a postcard by balloon from the Eiffel TowerDuring the 1889 World’s Fair, visitors could buy a commemorative (纪念) postcard that was at-tached to a balloon and a small parachute (降落伞). Visitors would write an address on the postcard and release it into the air from the tower. The postcard would fall back to earth gently due to the parachute, but it’s not known how many of these postcards ever made it to their intended addre sses.19th-century elevators are still in operationTwo of the original elevator cars are still functioning in the Eiffel Tower elevators that go to the third floor in the east and west pillars (铁柱).

It used to be a public apartment.C. It sells wax models of Eiffel and Edison.D. It only provides service for important persons.22. What is special about sending the postcard?A. The symbol.B.

But to get there, he needed a lot of encouragement and coaching along the way, and there was no one that better than his mother, Sharonda Sampson. She coached Zion in every youth basketball league he ever played. Sampson was a collegiate track star and later became a middle school health and physical education teacher.He has got up at 5:30 a.m. to head to the outdoor court and play basketball since he was 9 years old. Zion's hard work began to pay off when he entered high school, where he became a YouTube hit for his high-flying dunks(灌篮) and powerful moves. But Sampson wanted her son to not only work hard at being great but study how the legends of the game went about the ir skills.“When I started playing, my mom said there were three players she wanted me to watch-Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan,” Williamson said. “Even though I wasn't alive when he (Jordan) was doing those things, it just attracted me. Everything he did was just incredible.”The national spotlight shined on Zion during his one year of collegiate basketball at Duke Uni-versity, where he was coached by five-time national champion Mike Krzyzewski. The most storied rivalry in the collegiate game is between Duke and North Carolina, where Jordan won a national championship back in the 1980s.Shortly after his freshman season, Zion declared for the NBA Draft. Sampson was by her son’s side when he was chosen by the Pelicans as the top player. “I wouldn't be here without my mom.” said Zion with tears streaming down his face after his selection.Zion was brilliant in the first 19 games of his regular-season NBA career, averaging over 23 points and six rebounds per game, before the coronavirus(冠状病毒) crisis forced the league to shut down. The 19-year-old Zion says he’s been staying fit and will be ready to go when the league re-sumes.24. What do we know about Zion from the first two paragraphs?A. He was trained mainly by his mother.B. He dreamed of being a basketball star at 9.C. He was famous for his mother at YouTube.D. He coached his mother in basketball leagues.25. Why did Zion's mother ask him to watch three players?A. She wanted to make Zion beat them one day.B. She expected Zion to learn much from them.C. She required Zion to join their basketball teams.D. She wished Zion to like the same players as she.26. What did Zion mean by “I wouldn't be here without my mom”?A. He would join the NBA with his mom.B. He would stand beside his mother firmly.C. Hi s success related to what his mom did.D. He followed her wherever his mother went.27. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?A. To encourage people to learn from Zion.B. To explain why Zion likes playing basketball.C. To prove Zion has a gift for playing basketball.D. To introduce an NBA basketball player.CA year ago, I decided to create a more environmentally friendly kitchen, focusing on reducing the single-use prod ucts such as plastic bags and paper towels. I’m not going to sugarcoat my expe-rience. It takes commitment and a willingness to change long-held habits. In creating my kitchen, I tried a lot of different alternative products and some plain old common sense. The result, however, has been worth the effort. I’m recycling more and relying less on single-use products and I’m sav-ing money too.I’m not kidding when I say that I used to really love plastic storage bags, so this was, perhaps, the biggest challenge for me. Switching to reusable storage bags is a financial investment, but the cost is reasonable considering that I previously spent at least $ 100 annually on single-use plastic bags and wrap. I will check online periodically for recycling updates, where a zero-waste box for kitchen items is offered, from party supplies to mixed-material food containers.I’m a clean freak (怪人) and used to go through an amount of paper towels on a daily basis, but it’s easy enough to take old T-shirts or towels and cut them u p to use to wipe down surfaces. I’m also a fan of bamboo paper towels, which have the look and feel of traditional paper towels, yet are made from a highly renewable source and also break down in just 45 days. Better yet, they can be reused up to 100 times. As for kitchen sponges (海绵擦), I keep an eye out for those made with natural and recyclable materials.When purchasing household items online from companies like Amazon or Jet, I will ask to have them shipped in as few boxes as possible or as small a box as possible if a single item is to be sent. I’ll let the company know that they should pay more attention to how it is packaging items for delivery.28. What is the author’s main purpose of creating her kitchen?A. To save money.B. To reduce waste and recycle more.C. To change her long-held habits.D. To make it cleaner and more practical.29. What does the underlined word “sugarcoat” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Make attractive.B. Get interested.C. Show off.D. Give up.30. In creating her kitchen, what does the author do?A. Begins to recycle more single-use plastic bags.B. Goes through an amount of paper towels on a daily basis.C. Checks online periodically to buy zero-waste box.D. Chooses to use the recyclable or reusable kitchen items.31. What can we learn about the author from the text?A. She has strong environm ental awareness.B. She is used to traditional paper towels.C. She has a good knowledge of financial investment.D. She prefers to have her purchases packed in small boxes.DA new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds that fitness tracker(追踪器) probably does not help with weight loss.The devices are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist, where they measure a person’s heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of individ-uals. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health counseling(咨询) with experts to con-sider the best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health counseling.The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, th e lead researcher, questioned the use of electronic devices for weight control in place of “effective behavioral counseling for physical activity and diet.”The study involved 470 subjects aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese(肥胖的). Over three fourths of the subjects were women. All the subjects were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly counseling, while members of the other group were given a fit-ness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups “showed significant improvements in fitness, phys-ical activity, and diet,” with no major differenc e between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.Jakicic said, “the study’s findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to address America’s obesity.” More information is needed, he added, to learn how to best use these devices to change “physical activity and diet behaviors” in adults who want to lose weight.32.All the subjects in the study were asked to _________.A.start on a high-calorie dietB.wear a fitness trackerC.increase physical activitiesD.record their heart rates33.Why does Jakicic think the findings are important?A.Wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weightB.Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight lossC.Handling obesity requires effective long-term treatmentsD.There are great differences in fitness between both groups34.What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text?A.The study went on for about two yearsB.More than 120 men took part in the studyC.Health counseling helps lose almost 6 kilogramsD.Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim35.The purpose of the text is to ________.A.describe how the researchers were conducting the studyB.indicate regular counseling for weight control is necessaryC.convince readers to wear fitness trackers for weight controlD.warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,其中有两项为多余选项。

AOur ships boast a sea of vacation possibilities for every guest. Like the chance to learn Italian, salsa dancing(萨尔萨舞), or the recipe(食谱)for a perfect martini(马提尼酒).

See, do and learn more at sea than you ever thought possible.North StarThe exclusive North Star promises to heighten your worldview. Simply step into the North Star's closed, jewel-shaped capsule and gently climb over 300 feet above sea level.

Though that sounds like the beginning paragraph of a suck-up(奉承者), it’s true. I love reading and writing, and while I may not be the best at it, certainly try my hardest. I intend to run for EHS Vice President, along with Jordan Pincus, because I feel that’s the best position for me in this Honor Society. I want to be able to share my own ideas on how to better improve EHS without being the absolute top, and what better position for that than Vice President.I feel I’m qualified for this position because I’m full of great ideas and love English.I actually get English, and get along very well with others, which is very important for a board member. As a team, Jordan and I work very well together. Despite some disagreeing from time to time, the two of us actually end up getting more done at a faster pace, and because we spend most of our time together, communication issues are not a problem. Nothing is better for Vice Presidents to have than two people who are always together. On top of that, we are both devoted to anything we start,so EHS will never be ignored by either of us.I will contribute all I can to EHS, whether in making sure meetings run smoothly or finding new projects/events for the club to do as a whole. I personally believe that I am fit for the job and will be able to perform tasks above the highest exceptions placed on me, which may sound a little prejudiced but I really think I'm fit for this! Thank you for reading this and taking me into consideration.24. Why does the author want to be EHS Vice President?A. He is very good at English.B. He has a talent for leadership.C. He is very willing to help others.D. He thinks he is fit for the position.25. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2?A. The author and Jordan can cooperate well.B. The author and Jordan are good friends.C. Jordan often quarrels with the author.D. Communication is very important for friends.26. What does “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Being EHS Vice President.B. Being always together.C. Communicating with each other.D. Having good ideas.27. What can we know about EHS?A.It is short for “Honor Society”.B. It is a club related to English.C. It can improve the students’ results.D. It often organizes some activities.CThis is a photo of a similar car I own. It’s a photo of a Skoda Fabia, I drive one too.A young guy also got out of a similar car as I was getting close to mine. I laughed and was prepared to leave. The young guy continued to have a conversation with me.He asked me how I found the car. It turned out that it was his first day to drive the car and it was new and it was a gift from his parents and he’d just passed his driving test today! What a coincidence (巧合)!Well, this was a special moment for Nicholas. Who gets a new car the day they learn to drive and then drives into a garage and has a talk with a woman who’s driving the same model of car? Yes, beautiful synchronicity (同步性) in full view.I wanted to make this moment special for Nicholas, and I wanted to gift him something. Thinking on my feet, I thought I’d buy him a lottery ticket (彩票) but it was n’t special enough.I got into my car and removed my Guardian Angel key ring which I had attached to my front mirror. It was there to keep me safe. My birthday is on Guardian Angel’s Day too, so this is very special to me. I gave it to Nicholas and he was happy to receive it. Nicholas gave me a big hug.Nicholas was not an overconfident guy. He also told me his mum was only out of hospital and now he’d be able to help her get about.I’ll order myself another Guardian Angel key ring for my car for fear that my Guardian Angel will not be protecting me without the key ring. As for Nicholas, well, I wish he and his passengers a lifetime of safe driving.28. What caused the conversation between the author and the young guy?A. The young guy’s excitement.B. Th e author’s curiosity.C. A similar car.D. The photo of a Skoda Fabia.29. What did the author think of the guy’s experience?A. It was doubtful.B. It was a coincidence.C. It was unlucky for him.D. It was untrue.30. What did the author do for the guy?A. She drove him home.B. She bought him a ticket.C. She offered him a birthday gift.D. She gave him a special present.31. What was the author going to do next after meeting the guy?A. Buy a key ring for her car.B. See his mother in hospital.C. Give him more confidence.D. Tell him to drive quickly.DKindnessGood friends are not just kind to you; they are kind to others aswell. People like being around them because they are positive people.The kindness they spread comes from inner feelings of happiness andself-confidence. In contrast, social aggression, such as meanness, is aquality that shows lack of respect for others and discontent with oneself. These feelings outwardly show and eventually prevent communications and genuine friendships from forming.AcceptingGood friends are easy to talk to because they accept what you are. They understand the things that are important to you and the values that you hold. Although they may not necessarily agree with all of your beliefs and actions, they will never judge you. People who can accept you also are better able to accept themselves. High self-esteem and self-acceptance are intertwined.InterestAccording to American writer and lecturer, Dale Carnegie, showing genuine interest in others is one way to promote feelings of goodwill. People are more likely to remember how you make them feel. This goes beyond good listening skills. Good friends ask questions about things that matter to you. To do this, they must put aside their own needs and focus on helping others feel important. If you make them feel inferior, they will not enjoy the time you spend together.HonestyAlthough honesty is important to friendships, it may be one of the most difficult qualities to maintain. When you ask a friend for honesty, she may prefer preserving the peace over telling you what she really thinks. But honesty promotes trust. A good friend cares enough to tell you the truth and has sufficient confidence in the relationship to be assured of a positive outcome.32. What does the kindness of a friend come from according to the passage?A. Respect.B. Excitement.C. Happiness.D. Belief.33. What good friends will do if you make them feel less important according to the passage?A. They will begin to care about their own needs.B. They will take no interest in you.C. They will feel uncomfortable to stay with you.D. They are more likely to question about themselves.34. The underlined word “intertwined” in the second paragraph probablymeans___________.A. connectedB. complicatedC. obviousD. common35. What is the passage mainly about?A. Being kind to friends.B. Why we need friends.C. How to make friends.D. Qualities of a good friendship.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
