She has bought a bicycle and is worried about security （安全）. Her friend, Kate, found this article and sent it to her.IntroductionA lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150, 000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.Basic SecurityDo not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles （车座）.LocksGet a good lock. There are many different types in the shops. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.MarkingSecurity marking your bike can TAL#NBSP act as a deterrent to a thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.RegistrationThere are a number of companies who will mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.FinallyKeep a record of the bicycle yourself: its make, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.(1) Which part of the text gives you information on how to lock up your bicycle when you leave it?A. Locks.B. Marking.C. Registration.D. Basic Security.(2) The underlined phrase "act as a deterrent to a thief" means.A. help you recognize your bikeB. help the police find your bicycleC. stop someone stealing your bicycleD. stop you worrying about your bike(3) The article advises you to keep a record of your bicycle.A. in the bike shop and your computerB. in the police station and a security companyC. in a security company and your universityD. by yourself and in a security company(4) The main purpose of this article is.A. to tell you what to do if your bicycle is stolenB. to suggest ways of keeping your bicycle safeC. to give you advice on where to buy a good lockD. to say why you shouldn't keep your bicycle in a quiet place18、【来源】 2007年高考真题江苏卷（B篇）第60~63题8分(每题2分)Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact （互动） these days. The term is "TAL#NBSP networked individualism". This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals （个体） and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that's a good thing. Why?In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated （孤立） us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected — helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people — at the same time!(1) The underlined phrase "networked individualism" probably means that by using computerspeople.A. stick to their own ways no matter what other people sayB. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interestC. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other peopleD. are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people(2) According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?A. Networks.B. Friends.C. Phones.D. Parents.(3) It can be inferred from the Pew study that.A. people have been separated from each other by using computersB. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonelyC. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communicationD. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing(4) Which would be the best title for this passage?A. We're Alone on the Internet.B. We're Communicating on the Internet.C. We're Alone Together on the Internet.D. We're in the Imaginary World of the Internet.19、【来源】 2007年高考真题江苏卷（C篇）第64~67题8分(每题2分)Experience the newly opened Grand Canyon （大峡谷） West Skywalk in Colorado.

The right half controls the left side.One half of the brain is always dominant （in charge）. Usually, the left brain is dominant, which is why 90% of people are right-handed.(1) Which part of your cerebrum is most active when you are making a telephone call?A. The frontal lobe.B.

My mom was one of those people.My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love.Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, "Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her.A year later, I returned to school—walking on my own!When the Great Depression （大萧条） hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra 2 dollars for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel （汽车旅馆）for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother's words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1, 759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year.You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.(1) What Kemmons' mom often told him during his childhood was.A. caringB. movingC. encouragingD. interesting(2) According to the author, who played the most impor-tant role in makinghim walk back to school again?A.

Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you aregoing to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entiretrip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.

The kindness from other cyclists.CHundreds of thousands of lives were saved in 2017 alone because of the improvement of the environment, according to a new research. Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

My mother and sister had gone through Grandma’s belongings after her memorial service and decided on the sewing machine for me. I wasn’t sure if I was the right person for it, though. I hadn’t sewn since taking a class in high school. This would take some experimenting.I opened the built-in drawer to find Grandma’s old pieces of thread. I held her tomato-shaped pincushion(针垫)and thought of all the memories wrapped up in this machine. Grandma had become a tailoress(女裁缝) out of necessity. With four small children to clothes, he’d quickly learned how to sew almost everything they needed. For over 30 years, Grandma kept up with her sewing. She made matching Easter dresses for my sister and me and costumes for our school festivals. She was always in search of a new project, whether it was teaching our neighbors or sewing dresses for the homeless. But for the last several years of her life, dementia(痴呆) had left a shy and silent woman in place of the strong opinionated loving grandmother I’d known.To honor Grandma’s memory, I wanted a project to help people the way she had. With the stay-at-home order in place because of Covid-19, I certainly had the time. So I dug out Grandma’s machine to sew masks, and read up on how to sew. I turned on my computer to research how to get the machine going again. After hours of digging through old black-and-white handbooks and sewing lessons online, I operated the machine on more time. I held my breath and pressed down on the pedal. Hurrah! It worked! In no time, my fingers were flying, steadily moving material under the very cooperative needle. When I sewed enough masks for my family, I kept going. I delivered nearly 500 masks to a hard-hit hospital in the area. Quite a big job for an old sewing machine.A staff member met me outside to receive the donation. “Thank you,” she said, not knowing that any thanks for my efforts belonged to Grandma, who provided the inspiration.1. Why did the author doubt herself about accepting the sewing machine?A．She was not fond of it.B．She didn’t usually sew much.C．She had no interest in sewing.D．She hoped to donate it to charities.2. What can be inferred about the author’s grandma?A．She dreamed of being a tailorB．She kept sewing as a hobby.C．She was ready to help others.D．She had always been optimistic.3. What does the underlined phrase “read up on” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Studied a lot about.B．Thought of slowly.C．Noticed or observed.D．Lost one’s heart to.4. How to describe the author’s success with sewing machine?A．It is a long tiring process for her.B．She overcame many difficulties.C．She received a lot of help from others.D．It just took her a few hours to operate it skillfully.5. Which of the following would be best title for this text?A．I Have Donated Nearly 500 Masks.B．My Grandmother Inspired Me to Help Others.C．I Finally Learned to Use a Sewing Machine.D．Making Masks For Others Is Such a Pleasure.19. As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between “fight” or “flight” and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.1. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____.A．they do not know how to enjoy themselvesB．they do not believe that relaxation is important for healthC．they are travelling fast all the timeD．they are becoming busier with their work2. According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his ________.A．not fearing stress B．knowing the art of relaxationC．high sense of responsibility D．having control over performance3. Which of the following statements is true?A．We can find some ways to avoid stress.B．Stress is always harmful to people.C．It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.D．Different people can withstand different amounts of stress.4. In Paragraph 3, “such a reaction” refers back to_______.A．“making a choice between ‘flight’ or ‘fight’”B．“reaction to stress both chemically and physically”C．“responding to crises quickly”D．“losing heart at the signs of difficulties”5. In the last sentence of the passage, “do so” refers to ______.A．“expose ourselves to stress”B．“find ways to deal with stress”C．“remove stress from our lives”D．“established links between diseases and stress”20. Japan is getting tough with recycling— and not in the paper and plastic kind of way. Recently, the country requires that all electronic goods—TVs, VCRs, stereos, and more be recycled. But recycling will not be left toconsumers, instead, the devices will be sent to the original manufacturer for proper disposal.The new law poses a few challenges to manufacturers who are now rushing to set up collection networks and perfecting techniques to take apart and recycle older products. With an eye toward the future, they are also integratingeasily recycled materials into new products. Plastics, a major component of most electronic products, pose a particular obstacle because their quality becomes worse and worse with age, losing strength and flexibility even if reprocessed.NEC Corp. overcomes this problem by creating a plastics sandwich, in which the filling is 100 percent recycled plastic and the outer layers a mixture of 14 percent recycled material. The resulting plastic has sufficient strength andtoughness for use as a case for desktop PCs. The company. in cooperation with plastic maker Sumitomo Dow, has also developed a new plastic, which engineers claim keeps its mechanical properties through repeated recycling. NECuses the plastic, which is also flame-retardant（阻燃的）in battery cases for notebook PCs.Meanwhile, Matsushita Electric, maker of the Panasonic brand, is avoiding plastic in favor of magnesium（镁）. Magnesium, says the company, is ideal for recycling because it retains its original strength through repeatedreprocessing. Matsushita has developed molding techniques to form magnesium into the case for a 21-inch TV.Unfortunately, the magnesium case and energy-saving features make the TV about twice as expensive as an ordinary model. The company hopes, however, that increased use of magnesium will eventually bring prices down.1. According to the present regulations of Japan, the recycling of paper and plastic will be the responsibility of _______.A．the government B．the manufacturers C．the consumers D．the sellers2. Which of the following is NOT the character of plastics?A．Most electronic products contain plastics.B．It keeps its original strength through reprocessing.C．Recycled plastics can be integrated into new products.D．Plastics will lose flexibility after a certain period of time.3. According to the passage, the term “plastic sandwich” refers to _______.A．a kind of sandwich-shaped toy made of plasticsB．a kind of plastics with different integration in each layerC．a kind of plastics with maximum strength and flexibilityD．a kind of plastics made of 100% recycled materials4. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A．selling plastics is the only business of NEC CorpB．magnesium is an ideal material for making notebook PCsC．21-inch TV with magnesium case isn’t very popular so farD．magnesium must be better than the plastics5. The author writes this passage in order to_______.A．inform B．direct C．predict D．persuade四、阅读表达21. 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. TAL#NBSP I'm so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps（脊背）in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn't believe it—there aren't any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale—actually as big as our boat—was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools（漩涡）and waves. "She's trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side, "my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe—and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day, Nearly four decades later,I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.(1) The author says "I'm so glad I did." （in Para. 2） because.A. he witnessed the whole process of fishingB. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm seaC. he experienced the rescue of the whalesD. he spent the weekend with his family(2) The harbour survived the storm owing to.A. the shape of the harbourB. the arms of the bayC. the still water in the channelD. the long coast line(3) The mother whale failed to help her baby because.A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too longB. the whirl pools she had made were not big enoughC. she had no other whales around to turn to for helpD. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction(4) What is the theme of the story?A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happinessB. Fishing provides excitement for childrenC. It's necessary to live in harmony with animalsD. It's vital to protect the environment13、【来源】 2010年高考真题湖北卷第13题2017~2018学年广东广州海珠区广州市第六中学高三下学期期中（D篇）第32~35题8分2017~2018学年广东广州越秀区广州市第十六中学高一上学期期中第4题2016~2017学年广东广州越秀区广州市第十六中学高一上学期期中第32~35题8分For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents' point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness. And of course, TAL#NBSP the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely.Both feel trapped.In this article, I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen's hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right, It doesn't matter what the topic is—politics. The laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong. for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.(1) Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the lineC. Neither has any clear winnerD. Neither can be put to an end(2) What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflictC. The teens cause their parents of misleading themD. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents(3) Parents and teens want to be right because they want to.A. give orders to the otherB. know more than the otherC. gain respect from the otherD. get the other to behave properly(4) What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Causes for the parent –teen conflictsB. Examples of the parent –teen war.C. Solutions for the parent –teen problemsD. Future of the parent-teen relationship14、【来源】 2010年高考真题湖北卷（C篇）第59~62题8分(每题2分)2010年高考真题湖北卷（C篇）第14题2017~2018学年北京西城区北京师范大学附属中学高二下学期期中第64~67题8分They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories （配饰）. Yet these are girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies. A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, "Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years —now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly. "Professor Twigg analyzed family expending（支出）data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—and 5 or 6 per cent of spending—the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.The professor said, "Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them. "Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity（名流） style than in previous years.She said, "When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities.

The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesn't just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of him. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. I've seen it again and again：some-one who can't express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn't read it at all.Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly（透彻地）and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion（激情） regarding history to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it's commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.My other comment is that the text aged.The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s—none of the references（参考文献）seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.These are small points, though, and don't affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.(1) According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to.A. gain knowledge and expand one's viewB. understand the meaning between the linesC. experts ideas based on what one has readD. gets information and keeps it alive in memory(2) The author of the passage insists that learning the arts.A. requires great effortsB. demands real passionC. is less natural than learning mathsD. is as natural as learning a language(3) What is a shortcoming of Armstrong's work according to the author?A. Some ideas are slightly contradictory.B. There is too much discussion on studying science.C. The style is too serious.D. It lacks new information.(4) This passage can be classified as.A. an advertisementB. a book reviewC. a feature storyD. a news report16、【来源】 2010年高考真题湖北卷E篇第67~70题8分(每题2分)2010年高考真题湖北卷第16题EHave you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our climate more mild, many animals are still hibernating(冬眠). It’s too bad that humans can’t hibernate. In fact,as a species, we almost did.Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in France liked a semi-state of human hibernation. So writes Graham Robb, a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants. As soon as the weather turned cold people all over France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end.In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producerat CBC Radio’s The Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial(人造的) lighting and the electric bulb.When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as “first sleep”, which was not clarified, though. Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods. The business of eight hours’ uninterrupted sleep is a modern invention.In the past, without the artificial light of the city to bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight. The late night period was known as “The Watch”It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbours.According to some sleep researchers,a short period of insomnia(失眠) at midnight is not a disorder. It is normal. Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning. This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people. The impressive inventor,Thomas Edison, used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas.Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous, as anxiety may set in. Medical science doesn’t help much in this case. It offers us medicines for a full night’s continuous sleep, which sounds natural;however, according to Warren’s theory，it is really the opposite of what we need.(1) The example of the French peasants shows the fact that________.A. people might become lazy as a result of too much sleepB. there were signs of hibernation inhuman sleeping habitsC. people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weatherD. winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end(2) The late night was called “The Watch” because it was a time for people______.A. to set traps to catch animalsB. to wake up their family and neighboursC. to remind others of the timeD. to guard against possible dangers(3) What does the author advise people to do?A. Sleep in the way animals do.B. Consult a doctor if they can’t sleep.C. Follow their natural sleep rhythm.D. Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern.(4) What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To give a prescription for insomnia.B. To urge people to sleep less.C. To analyze the sleep pattern of modern people.D. To throw new light on human sleep.四、完成句子17、【来源】 2010年高考真题湖北卷第17题阅读下列各小题，根据括号内的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。

For instance, Steve taught meto face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess (认罪) to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred (神圣的) thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder. Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.41．What is the main subject of the passage?A．The relationship between Mark and Steve.B．The important lesson Mark learned in schoolC．Steve’s important role in Mark’s growing process.D．Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.42．It can be inferred from the passage that when Mark confessed to Mrs. Holt, ________.A．he felt surprised B．he was light-heartedC．he felt frightened D．he knelt before her43．In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother?A．Respect for personal property.B．Respect for life.C．Sympathy for people with problems.D．The value of honesty.44．According to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother?A．Respect for living things.B．Responsibility for one’s actions.C．The value of the honesty.D．Care for the property of others.45．Which of the follow is true according to the passage?A．Mark was still a boy when he wrote this passage.B．Mark lost the small dog his father gave him.C．When a living thing hurts you, you should kill it.D．Even if a living thing hurts you, you should not kill it without hesitation (犹豫).Biologists from the John Innes Centre in England discovered that plants have a biological process which divides their amount of stored energy by the length of the night. This solves the problem of how to portion out（分配）energy reserves during the night so that the plant can keep growing, yet not risk burning off all its stored energy.While the sun shines, plants perform photosynthesis（光合作用）. In this process, the plants change sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into stored energy in the form of long chains of sugar, called starch（淀粉）. At night, the plants burn this stored starch to fuel continued growth.“The calculations are precise so that plants prevent starvation but also make the most efficient use of their food,” said study co-author Alison Smith. “If the starch store is used too fast, plants will starve and stop growing during the night. If the store is used too slowly, some of it will be wasted.”The scientists studied the plant Arabidopsis, which is regarded as a model plant for experiments. To give the plants some math tests, the biologists let night arrive unexpectedly early or late for them.During one of the exams, they shut off the lights early on them that had been grown with twelve-hour days and nights. Putting them into darkness after only an eight-hour day means they didn’t have time to store as much starch as usual. And this forced the plants to adjust their normal nightly rhythm.Amazingly, even after this day length trick, the plants did very well in their exams and ended up with just five percent of starch left over at the end of the night. They had neither starved, nor stored starch that could have been used to fuel more growth.The authors suggested that similar biological calculators may explain how a migratory bird, the little stint, can make a five-thousand-kilometer journey to their summer habitat in the Arctic and arrive with enough fat reserves to survive only approximately half a day more, on average.The results of the study were published in e Life.46．According to the passage, plants _________.A．use little energy during the dayB．usually stop growing at nightC．waste a lot of energy at nightD．store starch during the day47．What did the scientists do when studying Arabidopsis?A．They changed the plant’s light conditions.B．They provided the plant with more starch.C．They tried to keep the plant’s natural rhythm.D．They attached a biological calculator to the plant.48．When morning arrived, the experimental plants ________.A．nearly died of lack of foodB．used most of their stored energyC．began to regulate their food storeD．stored enough starch for the next day49．What can we learn about the little stint?A．They may have a system to control energy consumption.B．They often die during their long and difficult journey.C．They leave the Arctic in summer every year.D．They are unable to calculate the distances.50．The passage mainly tells us _________.A．plants feel hungrier day by dayB．plants are good at storing energyC．plants do math to survive the nightD．plants use starch to fuel their growthHow do consumers access, buy and use their favorite products and services? The answer to the seemingly simple question is changing. Traditionally, people often see ownership as the most desirable way to have access to products. However, an increasing number of consumers are paying to temporarily access or share products and services rather than buy or own them Customer behavior towards many goods and services changes from ownership to sharing. This transformation of people’s consumption, habits has made sharing economy grow and it seems that some individuals and companies have already benefited from this trend.Growth in sharing systems bas particularly been fueled by the Internet with the rise of social media systems. Anyone can be part of the sharing economy. It is reported that of the 44 percent of U.S. adults who are familiar with the sharing economy, 86 percent say it makes life more affordable, 83 percent say it makes life more convenient and efficient, and 78 percent say it builds a stronger community. The central idea of group consumption is simple: Obtain value which remains in goods or services that are not entirely used by their owners.A recent survey from Pricewaterhouse Coopers, the largest professional service firm in the world, shows this so-called “sharing economy” is growing faster than ever. Although we are not sure about the current size of this market, by 2025, according to Pricewaterhouse Coopers, the sharing economy could represent $335 billion in profit worldwide. Nowadays, well-known examples of successful corporations built on group consumption systems include Airbnb, a San Francisco-based online accommodations marketplace, and Zipcar, a car sharing brand that is now part of the vehicle rental service company.The speed of its growth suggests that the sharing economy might represent a serious threat to established industries, due to fewer purchases in conventional markets. For consumers, it seems to bold the advantage to unite cost reduction, benefit expansion, convenience and environmental consciousness in one type of consumption. Companies therefore should understand the new situation and manage their operating system in order to adapt to current and future business models to provide new sources of profits within this growing area of the sharing economy.51．How does the sharing economy work?A．Exchanging possessions of products online.B．Sharing something with the owners.C．Selling underused items to make money.D．Paying for sharing products or services owned by others.52．Which of the following is NOT a reason for the growth of sharing economy?A．The change of people’s consumption habits.B．People’s need to reduce life expenses.C．The decline of traditional business.D．The easier access to the Internet.53．According to Pricewaterhouse Coopers, we learn that________.A．44 percent of U.S. adults think sharing economy makes life easierB．sharing economy can have a promising futureC．sharing economy is expanding too fast to threaten other businessD．group consumption systems can be successful if run by large companies54．In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to say that________.A．traditional business should find different sources of profitsB．sharing economy has many advantages over conventional industryC．the growth of sharing economy has led to the decrease of purchasesD．traditional business should try to adapt to sharing economy55．Which can be the best title of the passage?A．The Rise of Sharing EconomyB．Sharing Makes Life BetterC．Advantages of Sharing EconomyD．Sharing Economy or Conventional Business阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Yasmin Eisenhauer, a teacher at Lowell School, told her class last fall that they were going to make the trees on their school grounds talk．"What? How are we going to do this? " thought Lusya Mae Engen, a student in Yasmin's class．But the kids soon learned what their teacher meant．"We're trying to get people to talk with the trees through technology, " said Lusya．First, the students picked their own trees． Then, each student had to learn all about his or her tree, like how tall it was, how the tree's leaves felt and looked, and during what season it flowered． To get all the information, they used the Internet and some math．Next, the students wrote what they had learned about their trees and they recorded their own voices talking as if they were their trees, telling people all about who they were． That was the technology part．"It was really cool to connect technology with nature, " said Azur Walla, another student in the class．The kids named their trees things like Dog 'N' Woods, Harlo Tree or Freddy． They also added their own creative voices to the project, and asked people looking at the trees to sing a song in their shade or give the trees a hug．"My name is Charlotte． I was given this name by my friend Brooke． She is really nice and tries to visit me every day． What is your name?

Eating is the best when it's a social occasion． Think of the meal a family enjoys in the evening when everyone's together after work or school， or the big get﹣togethers over food at Spring Festival． But now， in the age of the internet and social media， anyone with internet connection can enjoy a social eating event．Mukbang ﹣ a South Korean phrase meaning "eating broadcast" ﹣ is an unusual food craze that's popular across the country． This is a meal where only one person gets to eat while viewers watch live stream of hosts ________ large quantities of food． They leave commentson the dishes the host is enjoying， and the host responds to them live．So why have people taken to this unusual new food trend？ Jeff Yang， an Asian﹣American cultural critic， thinks it's down to "the loneliness of unmarried or uncoupled South Koreans"． He believes that eating on your own can be hard in the country like South Korea，where social eating is such a long tradition． However， Mukbang gives people the feeling that they are part of something larger， it seems．Millions of people have trouble with food． Either they eat too much of it， or toolittle． Some say that the popularity of Mukbang helps people with these disorders． Those who always eat too much and put on weight can watch Mukbang streams to satisfy their appetite． And those who don't eat enough can build their appetite by watching delicious food being eaten．Even though Mukbang is a South Korean phenomenon， it's also taken off in the US． But unlike South Koreans who sit down to enjoy noodles and kimchi（泡菜）， Americans enjoy their own native dishes． This means that viewers of US Mukbang streamers will see local eating hamburgers， fries and ice cream．（1）What does the underlined word "devouring" mean？（1 word）________（2）Why is Mukbang becoming popular in South Korea？（no more than 10 words）________（3）What is the article mainly about？（no more than 10 words）________（4）What is the specific trouble millions of people face in South Korea in the passage？（no more than 10 words）________（5）What do you think of Mukbang？ Put it in your own words．（no more than 20 words）________第二节：书面表达（满分20分）．21. 假如你是新华中学的李津，请根据下面提供的信息，给你的澳大利亚的笔友Jack写一封电子邮件，介绍你近期参加学校国画社（Chinese painting club）活动的情况，并谈谈收获和感受．1．活动：（听有关国画的讲座；参观展览；练习国画……）2．收获和感受（……）注意：（1）字数不少于100词；（2）邮件的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数；（3）适当增加细节，以使行文连贯．Dear Jack，How's everything going？I'm very excited to tell you that_____Best regards．Yours，Li Jin2018-2019学年天津市部分区联考高二（上）期末英语试卷答案1.

As a teenager arriving in America, knowing nothing, I wanted a father who could explain the human journey. In college, when friends called home for advice, I would sink into deep depression for what I did not have.Today, at twenty-seven, I have come to rediscover them in ways that my teenage mind would not allow—as adults and as friends with their own faults and weaknesses.One night after my move back home, I overheard my father on the telephone. There was some trouble. Later, Dad shared the problem with me. Apparently my legal training had earned me some privileges in his eyes. I talked through the problem with Dad, analyzing the purposes of the people involved and offering several negotiation strategies. He listened patiently before finally admitting. "I can't think like that. I am a simple man."Dad is a brilliant scientist who can deconstruct the building blocks of nature. Yet human nature is a mystery to him. That night I realized that he was simply not skilled at dealing with people, much less the trouble of a conflicted teenager. It's not in his nature to understand human desires.And so, there it was—it was no one's fault that my father held no interest in human lives while I placed great importance in them. We are at times born more sensitive, wide-eyed, and dreamy than our parents and become more curious and idealistic than them. Dad perhaps never expected me for a child. And I, who knew Dad as an intelligent man, had never understood that his intelligence did not cover all of my feelings.It has saved me years of questioning and confusion. I now see my parents as people who have other relationships than just Father and Mother. I now overlook their many faults and weaknesses, which once annoyed me.I now know my parents as friends: people who ask me for advice; people who need my support and understanding. And I've come to see my past clearer.What was the author's impression of her father when she was a teenager?A.Friendly but irresponsible.B.Intelligent but severe.C.Cold and aggressive.D.Caring and communicative.A.B.C.D.（2）A.B.C.D.（3）A.B.C.D.（4）A.My Parents as Friends B.My Parents as AdvisorsC.My Father—a Serious ManD.My Father—an Intelligent Scientist（5）Why did the author feel depressed when her friends called home?She did not have a phone to call home.Her father did not care about her human journey.Her father was too busy to answer her phone.Her father couldn't give her appropriate advice.After the author overheard her father on the telephone, .her father blamed her for impolitenessshe rediscovered human natureher father consulted with her about his problemher father changed attitude towards the authorThe author realized that .her father had too many faults and weaknessesher father was not as intelligent as she had thoughther father was not good at interpersonal relationshipsher father placed too much importance in social activitiesWhich of the following is the best title of this passage?14.In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intakeare influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception （感知） of the food in front of us.Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV （or a similar distraction ）can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed. Even simple visual cues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption.A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite.Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they'd eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating.This disparity suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol.A.How we feel the food we eat.B.When we eat our meals.C.What element the food contains.D.How fast wheat our- meals.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.B.C.D.（3）A.Trick ourselves into eating less. B.Choose food with fewer calorie.C.Concentrate on food while eating.D.Pick dishes of the right size.（4）A.B.C.（5）"Hunger isn't controlled individually by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal, " Brunstrom says. " This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought."These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body's response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormonest （荷尔蒙）depending on whether the share's label said it contained 620 or 140 calorie. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher-calorie shake.What does this mean for our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating.The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake?What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal?You would probably be more particular about food.You would not feel like eating the same food.You would have a good appetite.You would not feel so hungry.What do we learn from the 2011 study?food labels may mislead consumers in their purchased.food labels may influence our body's response to food.Hunger levels depend on one's consumption of calorie.People tend to take in a lot more calorie than necessary.What does Brunstrom suggest we do to control our appetite?What is the main idea of the passage?Eating distractions often affect our food digestion.psychological factors influence our hunger levels.Our food intake is determined by our biological needs.D.Good eating habits will contribute to our health.四、语法填空（共10小题，每小题0.5分，共5分）15.According to a review of evidence in a medical journal, runners live threeyears 1 （long）than non-runners. You don't have to run fast or for long 2 （see）the benefit. You may drink, smoke, be overweight and still reduce your risk of 3 （die）early by running.While running regularly can't make you live forever, the review says it 4 （be）more effective at lengthening life 5 walking, cycling or swimming. Two of the authors of the review also made a study published in 2014 6 showed a mere five to 10 minutes a day of running reduced the risk of heart disease and early deaths from all 7 （cause）.The best exercise is one that you enjoy and will do. But otherwise…it's probably running.To avoid knee pain, you can run on soft surfaces, do exercises to 8 （strength）your leg muscles, avoid hills and get good running shoes. Running is cheap, easy and it's always 9 （energy）. If you are time poor, you need run for only half the time to get the same benefits as other sports, so perhaps we should all give 10 a try.五、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）16.Walter was always sitting in the same chair when I came to visit. He would look up andsmile when he saw me and pat the chair next to him for me to sit down. He loved to tell me about his lost golden years when he was an excellent baseball player. I was a good listener.After a couple of hours of talking, I would shake his hands and say goodbye to him. I hoped thatI brought a little sunshine into Walter's life.I met Walter when I was a high school student participating in a volunteer program withelderly people in a nursing home. It was the first of many such activities, ranging from playing with disabled children to sitting with cancer patients in a hospital. These activities seemed to satisfy my desire to be useful and to feel a meaningful connection to the lives of others.My parents inculcated me with a belief that there was no greater human value than kindness, and encouraged me to make helping others and contributing to society important goals in life. Volunteer work provided a way of attempting to realize the truth of these（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）messages.I learned that volunteerism is not a one-way act of helping someone less fortunate.Involvement in the life of another person has enriched my life as well. Seeing how people deal with the challenges of their lives has taught me valuable lessons in courage and dignity. Many of the people whom I have met as a volunteer are an unforgettable part of my life. Perhaps I received far more than I ever gave.This is why volunteerism works—each of us has so much need for human connection and so much to give to others.What did the author do every time he visited Walter? (no more than 10 words)What was the first activity the author got involved in as a volunteer? (no more than 10words)What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3? (1 word)What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? (no more than 10 words)If you are to be a volunteer, what will you do? What can you benefit from the volunteerwork?
