Once you’ve finished learning about the wildlife in the animal nursery, reptile (爬行动物) side rooms, horse barn and other areas of the attraction, make sure to mark your schedule for fun seasonal happenings, such as the Easter Egg Games and the scary, crazy Halloween Shows.Entry on Wednesdays is by suggested donation; children aged two and under free.Children’s Museum of the ArtsThe Children’s Museum of the Arts welcomes 135,000 little visitors each year through its doors. Once inside, the whole family can enjoy interactive programs, exhibitions (展览) and events that celebrate the changed power of the arts on youngsters and grown-ups alike.Pay-as-you-wish Thursdays, 3-6 p. m.Wave HillEveryone needs a few hours of calm now and then-kids included-and you’d be hard- pressed to find a more peaceful spot within city limits than Wave Hill the broad grounds located above the river, covering 28 acres of public gardens, plus woodlands and grasses to wander.

Children’s Museum of the Arts.BThe outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these tryingtimes, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.4. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.5. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?A. It is boring to make comments.B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.6. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.7. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming?A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.CConcrete is the world's most consumed material after water. Because it already surrounds us in the built environment, researchers have been exploring the idea of using concrete to store electricity—turning buildings into giant batteries. The idea has been gaining ground as we have come to increasingly rely on renewable energy from the wind and sun: rechargeable batteries are necessary when the breeze dies down or darkness falls.Experimental concrete batteries have only managed to hold a small part of what a traditional battery does.But one team now reports in Buildings that it has developed a rechargeable original model that could represent a more than 900 percent increase in stored charge, compared with earlier attempts.A live-in concrete battery might sound unlikely. Still, "you can make a battery out of a potato," notes Aimee Byrne. In a future where sustainability is key, she likes the idea of buildings that avoid waste by providing shelter and powering electronics.Although the new design stores more than 10 times as much power as earlier attempts, it still has a long way to go: 200 square meters of it "can provide about 8 percent of the daily electricity consumption" of a typical U.S. home, Zhang says.This is not enough to compete with today's rechargeable devices. "We're getting milliamps (毫安) out of concrete batteries—we're not getting amps (安培), "Byrne says." We're getting hours as opposed to days of charge." But she adds that" concrete batteries are completely in their childhood, compared to other battery designs." The earliest batteries were simple andbulky. Researchers experimented with new materials and designs for more than a century to develop today's small devices. Byrne suggests concrete-based energy storage could undergo a similar evolution. "The whole idea is that we're looking far into the future," she says. "We're playing the long game with it."8. What can we learn about the concrete batteries?A. They become increasingly renewable.B. They are the most consumed batteries.C. They are being developed by researchers.D. They will replace energy from the wind and sun.9. Why does Byrne mention a battery out of a potato?A. To show it is easy to build concrete batteries.B. To argue it is possible to develop concrete batteries.C. To make her statement more interesting.D. To call on people to protect the environment.10. What does the underlined word "bulky" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. HeavyB. CheapC. EfficientD. Small.11. What doesByrne think of concrete batteries?A. They beat today's rechargeable devices.B. They are simple and bulky.C. They have a doubtful future.D. They have a long way to go.DKids ages 6 to13 inCape Town,South Africa, really do dig learning at school! With the help of the Earthchild Project, which is offered in schools in two townships, students make worm(蠕虫) farms. The worms break down foodwaste and make the soil richer. Kids grow seedlings(幼苗) in containers and learn about the importance of good nutrition.The school program also offers yoga(瑜伽). Teachers find that the exercises help students focus better. The students enjoy Earthchild activities. “The children gets so excited”, says teacher Vuyelwa Rola.“The society we are in has a lot of noise. When students are taking part in the Earthchild Project, they feel calm.”Director Janna Kretzmar came up with the idea for the project in 2005. She read about schools inIndiathat involved kids in yoga and learning outside the classroom. She developed the Earthchild Project to offer similar activities inCape Townschools.“We hope the Earthchild Project can help students find solutions to all the challenges they are facing in the world today,” Kretzmar said. “The best place to create change is with the youth, through education.”The Earthchild Project combines schoolwork with hiking, gardening, healthy living, and yoga. “We need more than just math and science to become happy, healthy, inspired, and active citizens of our communities,” says Kretzmar. In some communities inCape Town, children live in poverty. They must walk long distances to get clean drinking water. Life is hard. But according to the Earthchild Project’s Carly Appleby, the project works to give hope to every child. “Students who have hope,” she says, “aim for bigger goals”.12.

Whoever wants to join has to bring in at least 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of solid waste (paper or plastic) and establish a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank “partners” are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram (2»2 pounds) of recydables on a monthly basis and obey other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops. The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are pjaced in the individuaFs account where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached* The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger tai^et.“At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project,n Jose recalls. “They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present.

According to a study, scientists have found a way to hack a plant’s genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly* Someday, the results could increase the number of food produced around the world*Scientists used tobacco plants in the study because it is easy to change the plants1 genes. Hacked plants are larger than normal plants*Photosynthesis is the word used to describe how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food* Scientists say this is a very slow process* Plants use less than 1 percent of the energy. But by hacking a plant’s genes, the scientists were able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants b etween 14 and 20 percent. Scientists hacked the plant’s protective system. Normally, this system starts when a plant gets too much sunlight When the plant senses the light, it creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective systemis turned oft But the process is slow.高三英谞第7K〈共12页)The new study sped up the process by changing (he plant’s genes, the protective system turned on and off more quickly than normal.

For the most part good looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in general,often vote for them more in elections,and pay them more in their professions. The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs.Researchers carried out four experiments involving more than 750 participants,including university students and managers who make hiring decisions in the real world. Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates,one attractive and the other unattractive. Participants were then asked a series of questions designed to measure their opinions of the job candidates and whether they would hire these candidates for a le$s-than-desirablejob«The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director, IT elite(精英)• In all experiments where they were asked, participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job.Ms Lee said, “In the selection decision for an undesirable job, decision makers were mo re likely to choose (he unattractive individual over the attractive individual. Co-author Dr Madan Pillutla said, “It is interesting that decision makers consider others' opinions in their decisions. They thought that attractive individuals would want better outcomes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive candidates when selecting for a less desirable job•”The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high-level jobs.51.What do people generally think of being attractive?A,It is a disadvantage.B.It is a blessing* **C it is not importantD. It has nothing to do with jobs.952.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.The participants of the experimentB.The importance of the experimentC.The process of the experimentD.The result of the experiment.53.An ordinaty-Jooking graduate may have an advantage when applying forA. A managerB. A project director C A warehouse worker D* An IT elite54.Why are less attractive applicants preferred for less desirable jobs?A» Because they are more hardworking*B.Because they will be more sadsfled.C.Because they have no requirements at all*D.Because they will want better outcomes.55.Which of the following agrees with the research?A.Attractive people are more fit for high-level jobs.B.Less attractive people are easy to find high-level jobs.C.Attractive people can always be hired when applying for jobs.D.Less attractive people can easily get highly paid if they work hard.第II卷(共3S分)注意事项:用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上•第三部分:写作第一节:闼读表达(共S小题;每小题2分,满分_0分)阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题.At the age of forty-five, my usually well-ordered life became full of changes.

With a lot of determination, I went to evening classes and became an adult student In (he class, I became more and more confident.

Henry Clay Frick, a rich NewYorker, died in 1919, leaving his house, furniture and art collections to American people. Frick had a preference for pre-twentieth century Western paintings, and these are well-represented in this excellent collection. You can also explore Frick’s beautiful house and garden w hich are well worth a visitGuggenheim Museum (5th Avenue and 88th Street)This museum owns 5,000 excellent modern paintings, sculptures and drawings. These art works are not all displayed at the same time. The exhibition is always changing. It will appeal to those who love Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings.

There are no stairs, just a circular(环形的) path.Metropolitan Museum of Art (5th Avenue and 82nd Street)The reputation of this museum lies in the variety of its art collection.

The passage is mainly about ________A. some famous artistsB. some famous paintingsC. some famous places of interestD. some famous art museumsBAt the age of seven, while his friends were spending their allowances on candy and toys, Jose Adolfo Quisocola, Peru, came up with the creative idea of an eco-bank which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially wise while helping the environment.Established in 2012, The Bartselana Student Bank is the world’s first cooperative bank for kids. Whoever wants to join has to bring in at least 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of solid waste (paper or plastic) and establish a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank “partners” are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram (2* 2 pounds) of recydables on a monthly basis and obey other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops. The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are placed in the individual’s account where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target.“At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project,” Jose recalls. “They did not understand that we are n ot the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the s chool principal and an assistant in my classroom.”The youngster’s persistence paid off. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers and begins accepting applications from kids all across Peru. On November 20, 2018, the young boy was awarded the famous Children’s Climate Prize (CCP). “Jose’s eco-bank is a brilliant way of linking economy and climate impact, both in t hought and practice. The potential impact is amazing”, a judge said.Hopefully, J ose’s success will inspire more kids and adults to come up with new ideas that create value while helping the environment. As the boy says, “Together we can change the world. we just need an opportunity.”41. For what purpose was the eco-bank created?A. To educate children how to spend their allowances.B. To help children break away from their parents.C. To raise children’s awareness of money and environmentD. To encourage children to buy whatever they want.42. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The history of the eco-bankB. The requirements of membership,C. The wisest way to deal with wasteD. The process of how the eco-bank works.43. What challenge did Jose meet at the beginning when opening the eco-bank?A. Lack of enough support.B. Lack of experience.C. Lack of investment.D. Lack of workers.44. What can we learn from the last two Paragraphs?A. The boy’s efforts were made in vain.B. The eco-bank was highly appreciated.C. The judge thought poorly of the eco-bank.D. The boy’s success had no practical values.45. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Persistence Paid OffB. Recycling does CountC. An Opportunity to Change the World.D. An Eco-bank, Economical and EcologicalCHacking isn’t just for computers and smart phones. A ccording to a study, scientists have found a way to hack a plant’s genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the results could increase the number of food produced around the world.Scientists used tobacco plants in the study because it is easy to change the plants’ genes. Hacked plants are larger than normal plants.Photosynthesis is the word used to describe how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Scientists say this is a very slow process. Plants use less than 1 percent of the energy. But by hacking a plant’s genes, the scientists were able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 14 and 20 percent. Scientis ts hacked the plant’s protective system. Normally, this system starts when a plan t gets too much sunlight. When the plant senses the light, it creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off. But the process is slow.The new study sped up the process by changing t he plant’s genes, the protective sys tem turned on and off morequickly than normal. As a result, leaf growth on the plants scientists used in the study increased. Leaf growth on two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 14 percent. Scientists conducted the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic changes would produce the same results in corn and rice.Agriculture professor Tala Awanda said the study makes sense, but cautioned the yield(产量)might not be quite so high for conventional food crops. Still, she added in an email,“this study remains a breakthrough,”46. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 1 ?A. We can find hacking only in digital devices.B. A plant’s genes can be changed by hacking.C. Hacking has been used in improving food production.D. Hacking can be used to change whatever you want.47. Why did scientists choose tobacco plants to study?A. Because they are very easy to get.B. Because their genes are easy to change.C. Because they are larger than other plants.D. Because they can absorb sunlight quickly.48. What do we know about photosynthesis?A. It helps plants to produce energy.B. It is regarded as a productive system for plants.C. It can increase leaf growth on plants by 14 percent.D. It is made up of sunlight,water and carbon dioxide.49. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that changing the plants’ genes proved ________.A. uselessB. deadlyC. effectiveD. unrealistic50. W hat is Tala Awanda’s attitude toward the study?A. Doubtful.B. Neutral.C. Objective.D. Critical.DBeing attractive isn’t usually considered much of a disadvantage in today’s world. Actually, there is the endless potential benefit about it, but researchers have found one area that being pretty makes life a challenge securingyourself a boring, low-paying job.This stands in contrast to a large body of research that attractiveness, in general, helps candidates in the selection process. For the most part good looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in general, often vote for them more in elections, and pay them more in their professions. The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs.Researchers carried out four experiments involving more than 750 participants, including university students and managers who make hiring decisions in the real world. Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates, one attractive and the other unattractive. Participants were then asked a series of questions designed to measure their opinions of the job candidates and whether they would hire these candidates for a less-than-desirable job.The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director, IT elite(精英). In all experiments where they were asked, participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job.Ms Lee said, “In the select ion decision for an undesirable job, decision makers were more likely to choose t he unattractive individual over the attractive individual. Co-author Dr Madan Pillutla said, “It is inter esting that decision makers consider others’ opinions in their decisio ns. They thought that attractive individuals would want better outcomes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive candidates when selecting for a less desirabl e job.”The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high-level jobs.51. What do people generally think of being attractive?A. It is a disadvantage.B. It is a blessing.C. it is not important.D. It has nothing to do with jobs.52. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. The participants of the experimentB. The importance of the experimentC. The process of the experimentD. The result of the experiment.53. An ordinary-looking graduate may have an advantage when applying for ________.A. a managerB. a project directorC. a warehouse workerD. an IT elite54. Why are less attractive applicants preferred for less desirable jobs?A. Because they are more hardworking.B. Because they will be more satisfied.C. Because they have no requirements at all.D. Because they will want better outcomes.55. Which of the following agrees with the research?A. Attractive people are more fit for high-level jobs.B. Less attractive people are easy to find high-level jobs.C. Attractive people can always be hired when applying for jobs.D.Less attractive people can easily get highly paid if they work hard. 第II卷注意事项:⽤⿊⾊墨⽔的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上?第三部分:写作第⼀节:阅读表达(共5⼩题;每⼩题2分,满分10分) 阅读短⽂,并按照题⽬要求⽤英语回答问题.At the age of forty-five, my usually well-ordered life became full of changes. After twenty-two years ofworking in a bank, a plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of over one hundred people. Unluckily, I was one of them.My once secure future became uncertain. However, I was not a single parent, so the family did not depend only on my income and my husband can support the family. My motto has always been, “Change is good; change is progress”, but when it affected my livelihood, I had to change it. “Accept change and make the most of it.” From thebeginning, I chose to look at this matter not as bad luck, but as a welcome chance. I refused to become sorry; instead, I actively planned to do something new and different.Having a positive attitude made all the difference in the way I pursued the future. First, I decided to return to college and graduate many years later than I should have. Doing this at my age took more than a little courage. Not being a graduate had never held me back in my c areer in the bank, but now it’s a personal goal I longed to achieve. With a lot of determination, I went to evening classes and became an adult student. In the class, I became more and more confident. During this time, I realized that no matter what life throws in our way, nothing can hinder our personal growth.The second thing I did to improve my inner self was to reevaluate my past life. It used to be filled with endless, and sometimes meaningless events. But now, my heart and life are completely around people I care for.The loss of my job led to some positive changes in my life. Revisiting the past made room for the future. I realize that I have accepted the change, and am making the most of it.56. What made the author lose her job? (no more than 10 words)57.
