CCTV showed the astronauts’ return Sunday after their Shenzhou Ⅶ ship’s reentry vehicle burst through the Earth’s atmosphere to make a landing under clear skies in the grasslands of China’s northern Inner Mongolia region.The vessel floated down gently while attached to a giant redandwhite striped parachute，marking the end of the 68hour endeavor.Premier Wen Jiabao applauded at mission control in Beijing and shook hands with staff.“This mission’s success is a milestone；a stride(一大步，发展)forward，” Wen said.“I would like to extend my congratulations to the heroic astronauts wh o successfully pleted this mission.”The spacewalk was a key step in mastering techniques for docking two orbiters to create China’s first orbiting space station.Tied to handles attached to the Shenzhou Ⅶ ship’s orbital module，Zhai remained outside for about 13 minutes before climbing back inside.1．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Shenzhou Ⅶ returned to the earth on Sunday.B．Zhai Zhigang performed the spacewalk on Saturday.

2020年四川省南充高级中学高三英语第四次联考试题及参考答案
2020年四川省南充高级中学高三英语第四次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项APersonal Time Off(PTO)is something my wife and I created after having kids. We learned that，over time，a full life can leave little time for personal rest and for reflection，hanging out with friends，or just being“off. ”So，after a number of years，we make a change. If I can persuade you to take your own PTO，then these might help.■Schedule itFirst of all，one of our favorite family sayings is“schedule it. ”Sounds easy enough，but life gets complicated managing full-time work and full-time family. Put yourPTO time on the calendar and you make it a real thing.■Be flexible and strictIf you can schedule PTO at the same time each week，then all the better. Because our calendar can get rather full，flexibility in scheduling becomes a necessity. But being strict in actually taking the time each week is more important. Skipping it once makes it easier to skip again.■Take enough timeMy typical PTO lasts a couple of hours or longer. Sometimes it might be half the day depending on what I’m doing. The goal is to spend enough time away to1et your shoulders drop.■Do what you want to doRemember，PTO time is about personal time to do what you want to do，not what you have to do. PTO time is about relaxation. Grab a friend and get a beer. Work can wait until tomorrow.1.What can be the first step to take the PTO?A.Persuade the family.B.Have a personal rest.C.Ask friends for advice.D.Make a time plan.2.What does the underlined part“let your shoulders drop”probably mean?A.Get you more focused.B.Have you feel relaxed.C.Shake your shoulders often.D.Make you feel more stressed.3.What does the text mainly talk about?A.Tips on how to take your time offB.Skills to manage work and familyC.Advice on how to free yourselfD.Ways of scheduling your workBIt was once a shoreline buried by enough garbage to make it invisible (看不见的), thus, given the unfortunate nickname "toilet bowl" . Now the Philippines' Manila Bay beach is totally different, compared with a few months ago. It happened so suddenly and extremely that it brought tears to the eyes of the local people.The cleanup started on 27 January, when 5, 000 volunteers descended on Manila Bay to remove over 45 tons (公吨) of garbage, marking the beginning of a nation-wide environmental campaign. But some two months before this great movement began, a quiet revolution was already underway.During the first week of December 2018, Brooklyn- based Bounties Network collectedthree tons of garbage from Manila Bay aver two days through a project that paid a small group of people, mostly fishermen, with a digital currency (数字货币) based on the Ethereum system.For the mostly non-bank -using Filipino fishermen, this was a first-ever experience with a digital currency. It's one that proves decisive in enabling poor communities around the world to take up arms in the fight against humanity's waste.There are signs that this recycling-for-digital payment industry may be just about to take off. Earlier in September 2018, Plastic Bank, a Vancouver -based company powered by IBM technology, also started a similar project. They set up a project in Naga, a town in southern Luzon, the country's largest island, building a collection point to let people exchange plastic and recyclable materials for digital payouts through a system.That both these pioneers have chosen the Philippines as their first location is not surprising considering the country's contribution to ocean waste. A Wall Street Journal study in 2015 revealed that the Philippines make the third-largest amount of plastic waste into global oceans.4. Why did people call Manila Bay beach“toilet bowl” ?A. It looked like a huge bowl.B. There were plenty of toilets.C. It was covered by rubbish.D. People loved the toilets here.5. What does the underlined phrase“descended on”in paragraph 2 mean?A. Completely depended on.B. Suddenly arrived at.C. Occasionally decreased to.D. Gradually disappeared from.6. What made poor communities willing to fight against waste?A. The benefits to their homeland.B. The desire to make a difference.C. The chance to escape ocean pollution.D. The experience with a digital currency.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Online system helps endocean pollution.B. Manila Bay beach is suddenly removed.C. Plastic Bank is powerful in recycling waste.D. Philippines make a great amount of waste.CThe Gata used to look annoyed when they received power bills that routinely topped $200. Last September the couple moved into a 1,500-square-foot home in Premier Gardens, an area of 95 “zero-energy homes” (ZEH) just outside town. Now they're actually eager to see their electricity bills. The grand total over the 10 months they've lived in the three-bedroom house: $75. For the past two months, they haven’t paid a cent.ZEH communities are the leading edge of technologies that might someday create houses that produce as much energy as they consume. Premier Gardens is one of a half-dozen subdivisions (住宅开发项目) in California where every home cuts power consumption by 50%, mostly by using low power appliances and solar panels.Aside from the panels on the roof, Premier Gardens looks like a community of traditional homes. But inside, special windows cut power bills by blocking solar heat in summer and keeping indoor warmth winter.The rest of the energy savings comes from the solar units. They don't just feed the home they serve. If they generate more power than the home is using, the excess flows into the utility's power grid(电网). The residents are billed by “net metering”: they pay for the amount of power that they get from the grid, minus the kilowatts(千瓦) they feed into it. If a home generates more power than it uses, the bill is zero.That sounds like a bad deal for the power company, but it's not. Solar homes produce the most power on the hot sunny afternoons when everyone rushes home to turn up the air conditioner. "It helps us lower usage at peak power times," says solar expert Mike Keesee. “That lets us avoid building costly plants or buying expensive power at peak usage time.”What’s not to like? Mostly the costs. The special features can add $25,000 or more to the purchase price of a house. Tax breaks bring the cost down, especially in California, but in many states ZEHs can be extremelyexpensive. For the consumer, it's a matter of paying now for the hardware to save later on the power bill.8. Why is the Gata eager to see their electricity bills now?A. They want to cut down their utility' expenses.B. They want to know if they are able to pay.C. They want to see how much they have saved.D. They want to avoid being overcharged.9. What is special about the ZEH communities?A. They are built in harmony with the environment.B. They have created cutting edge technologies.C. They are subdivided into half a dozen sections.D. They aim to be independent in power supply.10. What does the "net metering" practice mean to the power company?A. More pressure at peak timeB. Reduced operational costs.C. Increased electricity output.D. Less profits in the short term.11. The author believes that buying a house in a ZEH community __________.A. is a worthy investment in the long runB. is but a dream for average consumersC. gives the owner great tax benefitsD. contributes toenvironmental protectionDKids 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 food waste 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. What do students benefit from yoga?A. It helps them calm down.B. It helps them concentrate.C. They can learn some living skills.D. They can learn about the importance of nutrition.13. What are students’ attitude towards the Earthchild Project?A. Uncaring.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Negative.14. What do you know about the Earthchild Project?A. It was founded in 2005.B. It only offers outside activities.C. The idea came up by Vuyelwa Rola.D. It is aimed at helping students find solutions to challenges.15. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Hard Life inSouth Africa.B. Students’ school life inCape Town.C. Hope from Earthchild Project inCape Town.D. The differences between traditional lessons and Earthchild Project.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

You may notice that the sound of your heartbeat is similar to the beat of a drum. Your heart starts beating before you are born and continues throughout your life. For this reason, the beating of a drum stands for the rhythm of life for many people around the world.InGhana, a country inAfrica, many schools use drums instead of bells to show the beginning and ending of class. Through the drum, the children ofGhanaalso learn about their history and culture. They hear old stories passed on through the music of the drum. The stories of the drum also teach children games, rules and lessons about behavior.For thousands of years inAfrica, drums have been used to tell stories of daily life and history. Drums told the coming of a king, the start of a war, or the birth of a child. They also allowed people to share messages. But how does a drum tell a story?InWest Africa, the most common drum used for communication is called a “talking drum”. By making higher orlower drum sounds, the drummer can make the drum “talk”.In many African languages, words go up and down in pitch (高音) when they are spoken, almost like a song. Depending on the pitch or tone (音调), the same sound can have many different meanings. For example, when spoken with two low tones, the African word “ilu” means “drum”. When spoken with one high and one low tone, “ilu” means “town”.Drum language works in the same way. Just as in spoken language, the word “ilu” has different meanings depending on how it’s drummed. When “ilu” is drummed with two beats using low tones, the word means “drum”. When “ilu” is drummed with two beats using one high and one low tone, it means “town”.Drummers create “words” to build ideas, sentences and stories. The next time you hear a song, listen for the heartbeat within the music. Can you hear the story of the drum?4. The first paragraph mainly tells us________.A. drums beat like our heartsB. drums have a long historyC. drums are widely used in the worldD. drums are important for many people worldwide5. From the text, we learn that inGhanadrums________.A. are not as useful as beforeB. teach children a lot of thingsC. help bring the war to an endD. are used in class by teachers6. The example of the African word “ilu” is used to show________.A. how a word can have different soundsB. how to speak African languagesC. how a drum tells storiesD. how to beat a drum7. What would be the best title for the text?A. Know the history of the drumB. Listen to the story of the drumC. Beat the drum of lifeD. Love me, love my drumCAbout 12 years ago, Sandy Cambron noticed her mother, Pearl Walker, had become quiet after she moved into a nursing home for patients of Alzheimer's disease inKentucky.“We tried everything — photos, old stories — but nothing worked,” she said. “It was really hard for everyone to see how she had changed.” Then one day whileSandywas in a toy store, she had an idea: Why not givePearla baby doll so she could feel as if she were caring for something again? And why not give one to all the other care center seniors?As soon asSandygavePearlthe doll, her mother's face lit up. “She started talking again and she never went anywhere without that baby,”Sandysaid. “She took 'baby' to the dining room with her and slept with her in her arms every night. When she passed away a year later, we even buried her with that well-loved baby doll.”In the following 10 years, Sandy and her husband, Wayne Cambron, continued to buy dolls and hand them out to the elderly of care centers near their home every New Year. Now Pearl's Memory Babies is anonprofit (非营利) organization that has contributed more than 300 dolls to old people with Alzheimer's disease at nursing homes since February 2018.Last year,Sandyposted New Year’s photos on Facebook, all of which are about seniors reacting to dolls thatshe and Wayne sent to a local nursing home. The post was shared more than 210,000 times overnight. People gave almost $15,000 online. That helped the group buy many dolls.“The dolls offer treatment and comfort,” said Elise Hinchman, who works at a care center inKentucky, "Some seniors cry when they get a doll. And they always rock and talk to their dolls. People with Alzheimer might losetheir memories, but they don't lose their ability to love.”8. How did Pearl change after she moved to a nursing home?A. She hardly talked.B. She lost hope in life.C. She felt bored.D. She forgot everything.9. How didPearlreact after receiving the doll?A. She began to cry.B. She was very delighted.C.

The rising needs for baby dolls.D. HowSandybecame a celebrity.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Good News for Alzheimer's PatientsB. How to Remove Alzheimer's DiseaseC. Baby Dolls Cheer up Alzheimer's PatientsD. Daughter Helps Mother Recover MemoryDAccording to the study posted onScienceDirect, gardening just two to three times a week increase the benefits of better well-being as much as possible and lower stress levels.The research explored why residents engaged with gardening and the extent to which they recognized any health benefits from the activity.A questionnaire was handed out electronically within theUK, with 5,766 gardeners and 249 non-gardeners responding. Data was collected on factors including garden typology（类型学）, frequency of gardening and individual awareness of health and well-being."This is the first time the dose response（剂量效应）to gardening has been tested and the evidence from the survey strongly suggests that the more frequently you garden, the greaterthe health benefits," said Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) lead author Dr Lauriane Chalmin-Pui. In fact, gardening every day has the same positive impact on well-being than undertaking regular and powerful exercise like cycling or running.When gardening, our brains are pleasantly entertained by nature around us. Gardening takes our attention away from ourselves and our stresses, therefore, it helps restore our minds and reduce unfavorable feelings.Improving health, however, was not the main motive power to garden, but rather the direct pleasuregardening brought to the participants."Gardening is like effortless exercise because it doesn't feel as exhausting and hard as going to the gym, for example, but we canexpendsimilar amounts of energy," Chalmin-Pui added.Most people say they garden for pleasure and enjoyment, so people who like gardening may be easy to be addicted to it. However, this sometimes may become a piece of good news, from the aspect of mental health. "We hope all the millions of new gardeners will be getting their daily gardening and feeling all the better for it. " Chalmin-Pui said in the interview.12. What can be inferred about gardening from the survey?A. Improving health is the aim of the participants.BGardening makes no difference to health.C. Health benefits from frequent gardening.D. Too much gardening always does harm to health.13. What does the underlined word "expend" mean in paragraph 7?A. Consume.B. Make use of.C. Increase.D. Save.14. Why do so many participantslike gardening?A. It isn't exhausting.B. It is good for health.C. It brings pleasure.D. It is like going to the gym.15. What is Chalmin-Pui's attitude to the new gardeners' gardening?A. Carefree.B. SupportiveC. Tolerant.D. Indifferent.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

四川省南充高级中学2023-2024学年高一上学期11月期中考试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解It’s quite hard to make a list of the most beautiful cities to visit in Italy, as every city in Italy has its own look and unique atmosphere. However some of them are more popular than the others. And here is the list of them.VeniceVenice, a unique city built over the water, is one of Italy’s most beautiful and romantic cities. The heart of Venice is Piazza San Marco with its magnificent church, Saint Mark’s Basilica. Wandering along Venice’s canals and getting lost in its narrow streets must be appealing. Venice is in the northeast of Italy and historically was a bridge between East and West.MilanMilan, one of Europe’s wealthiest cities, is known fo r stylish shops, galleries and restaurants 1t also has a rich artistic and cultural heritage. Its Gothic Duomo, with its beautiful marble facade (大理石外墙), is magnificent. Da Vinci’s painting The Last Supper, which is in Santa Maria Delle Grazie, is one of M ilan’s top attractions.NaplesNaples is one of Italy’s most lively cities. It lies on the coast south of Rome and is the most important city in southern Italy. Naples keeps much of its Baroque character and is a staring point for trips to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the Amalfi Coast. It holds many historical and artistic treasures, and is famous for its pizza and desserts!BolognaBologna is known for its beauty, wealth and food. Its flat streets are lined with arcades (拱廊), making it a good walking city in every kind of weather. Bologna is the biggest city in northern Italy’s Emilia Romagna region and its Piazza Maggiore is one of the biggest squares in Europe. Even among Italians, it’s considered the cooking capital of the country.1、How does Venice differ from other cities in Italy according to the article?A.Its streets are lined with arcades.B.It’s a city built over the water.C.It is a starting point for trips to Pompeii.D.It has a rich artistic and cultural heritage.2、Where can tourists appreciate The Last Supper?A.In La Scala.B.In Gothic Duomo.C.In Saint Mark’s Basilica.D.In Santa Maria Delle Grazie.3、What do Naples and Bologna have in common?A.They are famous for food.B.They are the capitals of fashion.C.They are located in northern Italy.D.They have famous opera houses.She was walking at eight months and completing 100-piece jigsaw puzzles at 15 months. So it is no surprise that Abigail Wilson, 15, from Connecticut, USA, recently made history when she became the youngest black fema le ever accepted into an American university! “I’m proud of myself for getting in, but I usually find it hard to get excited. It is pretty cool, I guess,” said Abigail.Her mother, Nancy, said that Abigail was a quiet baby, born two weeks late on Christmas Day. She didn’t speak her first words until she was 22 months old. Nancy and her husband thought something must be wrong, but when she started to talk, it was with perfect speech. Her parents read her normal bedtime stories and they didn’t know at the tim e that she was learning all of it.Abigail has always been the youngest person in her class. At the age of six, she was in the fourth grade; at eight, she began taking classes at an International Baccalaureate (国际中学毕业会考) program, and at ten, she took her first high school class in math. She has studied several languages, including Spanish, French, Chinese, Russian, Arabic and German.Abigail says that she doesn’t usually plan when she studies. She considers herself scatterbrained. And she always delays things up to the last minute — this, she says, gives her the motivation to really do something.In her free time, Abigail plays hockey and basketball, browses the Internet, reads, cooks and hangs out with her friends (they are all 17 and 18 years old). She has also studied music. Her mother says that Abigail’s music lessons have helped her to be a normal teen. She believes that Abigail needs to be in a situation where she has to fail in order to learn. “She finds playing the piano to be very difficult, but it h as made her learn better,” said Nancy. “She can’t always be successful, or she won’t learn anything! People always learn more from their failures than from their successes.”4、Abigail spoke her first word when she was ______.A.15 months oldB.22 months oldC.17 months oldD.18 months old5、Why does Abigail’s mother think learning to play the piano is good for Abigail?A.Because Abigail can make new friends.B.Because Abigail can learn something from failure.C.Because Abigail can learn to play a musical instrument.D.Because Abigail can be motivated and do things quickly.6、Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Almost all of Abigail’s classmates are older than her.B.Abigail’s parents read very difficult stories to her in order to make her a genius.C.Abigail started taking classes at an International Baccalaureate program at the age of ten.D.Abigail made history because she became the youngest ever to enter an American university.7、Which of the following titles is the most suitable for the article?A.Roads to SuccessB.Universities in AmericaC.Abigail — a Genius GirlD.Difficulty of Making MistakesOne day, King Sisyphus of Corinth was trying to solve the city’s fresh water problem. He happened to look up and saw Zeus fly by. The king of gods was carrying a lovely river spirit (小精灵) in his arms.“That Zeus,” sighed (叹气) King Sisyphus. “What a trouble-maker!”Soon after, the river god Asopus flew by. “Sisyphus! Have you seen my daughter?” he asked.“If you give my city a source of fresh water, I will tell you what I saw,” King Sisyphus shouted back. Immediately, a clear stream (水流) of fresh water appeared.“Zeus took her that way,” the king pointed.The king knew Zeus would be angry when he found out what he had done. But Corinth badly needed a source of fresh water. And finally, it had one.Sure enough, Zeus was very angry. He told his brother Hades (the god of the underworld) to take Sisyphus to the underworld immediately!“When they tell you I am dead, do not put a gold coin under my tongue,” King Sisyphus said quietly to his wife. As a good wife, she did exactly as the king had told her.Because Sisyphus was an important person, Hades himself met him at the River Styx, the entrance to the underworld. Because no gold coin was placed under his tongue(舌头), the king arrived as a poor beggar.“Where is your gold coin?” Hades asked. “How can you pay for a trip across the River Styx and arrive in the underworld?”King Sisyphus hung his head in shame. “I had a terrible wife. She didn’t give me anything after I had died.”“Go right back there and teach that woman some manners!” Hades raised his voice. He then sent Sisyphus back to Earth. The king became alive again.Sisyphus and his wife laughed when he told her about the experience. But he never told it to anyone else. You never know when the gods are listening!8、What was Sisyphus was doing when Zeus flew by with a river spirit?A.Rebuilding Corinth.B.Chatting with his wife.C.Asking Asopus for help.D.Looking for a source of water.9、What did Zeus decide to do when he knew what Sisyphus had done?A.Zeus decided to destroy Corinth.B.Zeus decided to end Sisyphus’ life.C.Zeus decided to make Corinth drier.D.Zeus decided to kill Sisyphus’ wife.10、What did one need in order to cross the River Styx, according to the article,?A.A good wife.B.A golden boat.C.Some money.D.Some water.11、Which of the following statements is the most probable ending of the story?A.Sisyphus lived happily with his wife.B.Sisyphus taught his wife some manners.C.Sisyphus was sent to the underworld again.D.Sisyphus had to find a fresh water source again.The pyramids of Giza(吉萨金字塔) have been timeless(永恒的) symbols of Egyptian culture. But who actually built them? For years, we did not know for sure. But recently an ancient village was discovered near the pyramids. Close by, there was a cemetery(墓地) where pyramid builders were buried. From studying these places, archeologists are now certain that the pyramids were not built by slaves or foreigners (or aliens!). Instead, ordinary Egyptians built them.It took about eighty years to build the pyramids. According to archeologists, about 20,000 to 30,000 people took part in the task. The workers had different roles. Some were responsible for digging up the rocks that were to be used. Others were tasked with moving them, while another group was given the job of shaping them into blocks. People also worked on different teams, each with its own name. These teams would often compete against each other to do a job faster.Life for these workers was hard. “We can see that in their skeletons,” says Azza Mohamed Sarry El-Din, a scientist who has been studying the bodies that were found in thecemetery. The bones show signs of arthritis (关节炎), which probably developed as a result of having to carry heavy things for a long time. Archeologists have also found many female skeletons in the cemetery. The damage to their bones is similar to that of the men. Their lives may have been even tougher. Male workers would on average live to be between the ages of 40 and 45, but women would only live to be between the ages of 30 and 35. However, workers usually had enough food, and they also had good medical care when they got sick or hurt.The work was hard, but the laborers were proud of their work. On a w all in Khufu’s Great Pyramid, for example, a group of workers wrote Friends of Khufu. “It’s because they were not just building the tomb of their king,” says Egyptian archeologist Zahi Hawass. “They were building Egypt. It was a national project, and everyone was a participant.”12、According to the latest discoveries in the text, who built the pyramids in Egypt?A.Some foreigners.B.Some aliens.C.Some ordinary Egyptians.D.Some slaves.13、The underlined word “archeologist” (in paragraph 1) probably means “a person who studies ______.”A.ancient societiesB.living thingsC.human behaviorD.the outer space14、What can we know about the pyramid builders from the last paragraph?A.The pyramid builders were looking for new friends.B.The pyramid builders were very angry with their bosses.C.The pyramid builders were satisfied with their achievements.D.The pyramid builders were in trouble because of their bad behavior.15、What part of the magazine is the passage probably taken from?A.Sports.B.Fashion.C.Personal Feelings.D.Scientific Research.二、七选五16、Fun Ways to Learn English FasterSome people find it easy to learn English while others have trouble learning it.

2020-2021学年四川省南充高级中学高三英语第四次联考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn the 1994 filmForrest 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 but invisible 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 fromJapantoChinain 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box, designed byHong 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 come in miniature sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations, 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 inShenyang. 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-makesForrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box...”1.

When people open this simple little box, they will feel disappointed.BAvi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.4. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.5. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.6. What do you think of Loeb?A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.7. What's the best title for the text?A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space TravelCIn the Hollywood industry, most of the studios are using AI to make movies for various reasons such as getting the actors out of danger, replacing the actors indifferent scenes, forming appealing atmosphere to enhance（增强）the views, etc.Directors and producers are using VFX (Visual effects), animations and AI to makea model that looks like the actor and replaces the actor's place. In particular, AI is used in scenes where actor shave to produce certain stunts （特技）to develop setups in the studio artificially. VFX is used to later change the internal studio backgroundsto a different place in the movie.There are many movies with two characters of the same actor. When AI was not a part of the film, editors used different methods to show the two aspects of the same actor in one scene, but now AI is being used to form the second character of the same actor and is being performed to the viewers.By a perfect combination of animation, VFX and AI, realistic models are being created. And the most fun part is the fictitious character can hold the face of the actor but the age, hairstyles, and clothing can be changed to create more enhanced looks according to the movie scene and story. With the help of AI, the directors recreating appealing scenes to enhance the thrill and excitement. InJurassic Park,no dinosaurs were running but with the help of AI and visual effects, we could enjoy the scenes and the atmospheres.The directors and the producers direct to form a green screen including the obstacles and those green screens get replaced with the views that are made from AI and VFX, and the actors make the scenes alive and deliver the most suitable action-packed movie scenes. This method also enhances the viewers' experience, which makes the movie a blockbuster（大片）.8. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1?A. How AI helps actors.B. What AI brings to movies.C. Why AI is applied to movies.D. Where AI is made full use of.9. What can we infer from paragraph 3?A. AI can be used as an editor.B. Editors consider AI irreplaceable.C.

It's been a joy!I started with three students, got as many as 10, but now have settled on what I call "the fantastic five". They range in age from 23 to 65, one man and four women. They've come from El Salvador, Peru, Honduras, Colombia and the Dominican Republic.With no exception, they are married, have children, and are working. Their responsibilities leave them with little free time, but they faithfully come to class. The students always make mesmile. On the first day, I asked what surprising things they had discovered about America. Isabelle, from Peru, thought for a moment and then said, "You Americans all stop at red lights!"Blanca, a student from Honduras, arrives with her three young children. Actually, they arrive first, running in, waving to me as they dash to the children' s room as their often-tired mother trudges in behind. Blanca's kids are adorable (可爱的). I keep forgetting their names, so I call them Blanco, Blanki and Blankette. They giggle at this and their mom smiles.I've been asked by friends whether I know the students' immigration stories. I don't ask. I'm here to help them learn English. Their lives often are net easy. Over the past year, one woman got divorced, and another's husband suffered a stroke. A third's husband, a truck driver, was in a terrible accident that left him staying at home for more than nine months. But, these students rarely miss a class.24. What can we know about the students?A. They are all women over 23.B. They have children and jobs.C. They are a big trouble for the teacher.D. They are busy and miss classes regularly.25. What can we learn about Blanca?A. She is from Peru and has throe children.B. She doesn't like the names the author gives.C. She educates her children to behave well.D. She is surprised at Americans' running red lights.26. What does the underlined word "trudges" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Walks heavily.B. Runs quickly.C. Waves unwillingly.D. Dashes slowly.27. Why is the author unfamiliar with the students' immigration stories?A. They never decide to tell the author.B. The author doesn't like miserable stories.C. They fear their stories will affect the teaching.D. The author focuses on teaching them English well.CIf you are taking up flying for the first time, then it is recommended that you go in for a battery operated model plane. Gasoline powered models require an expert hand and anyway, battery powered planes are quite easy to set up and operate. You will need to buy a model plane with its matching remote control (RC) to enable you to take off, control and land it.Once you have assembled (装配) your model plane, then it is time for a test flight. You can call an experienced friend who has flying experience. That would help you in avoiding costly mistakes and your model plane will be saved from the reduced crashing experience. You can take it to your garden or any other empty plot of land for your first flight. If the ground is smooth, you could take off from there or you can even take off with one person holding the plane and then leaving it gently. Once you get the hang of it, you can then proceed to do some stunts (绝技) like flying loops, rolls and inverted flight. The joy of learning something new will keep your interest alive in this hobby.Once you are well skilled in flying battery operated model planes, then you can also graduate to gasoline powered planes. These planes too can be controlled by remote control and their distinct motor sound gives flying a more realistic touch of being in the early 1900's as compared to an electric motor, which is silent.So, whichever plane you fly, it is essential that you get familiar with the remote control to enable your model plane to obey your commands and keep crashes to a minimum. Over time you will be able to make your plane perform difficult and dangerous stunts without any fear. So, take some action now. Get that RC model airplane and take to the skies with your feet planted firmly on the ground.28. Why does the author suggest trying a battery operated plane first?A. It is much cheaper.B. It makes no noise.C. It takes little land.D. It is easy to handle.29. What is the author's attitude to some stunts?A. Favorable.B. Uncaring.C. Worried.D. Shocked.30. Why is the remote control important?A. It enables the plane to fly high.B. It keeps the plane more silent.C. It makes the plane suffer least.D. It stops the plane from crashes.31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Describing real flying.B. Learning to fly model planes.C. Introducing remote control.D. Learning to choose personal planes.DA new app aims to help parents interpret what their babies want based on the sound of their cry. The free app ChatterBaby, which was released last month, analyzes the features of a baby's cry, to help parents understand whether their children might be hungry, fussy (大惊小怪的) or in pain. While critics say caregivers should not rely too much on their smartphones, others say it's a helpful tool for new or tired parents.Ariana Anderson, a mother of four, developed the app. She originally designed the technology to help deaf parents better understand why their babies were upset, but soon realized it could be a helpful tool for all new parents.To build a database, Anderson and her team uploaded 2,000 audio samples of baby cries. She used cries recorded during ear piercings and vaccinations (接种) to distinguish pain cries. And to create a baseline for the other two categories, a group of moms had to agree on whether the cry was hungry or fussy.Anderson's team continues to collect data and hopes to make the app more accurate by asking parents to get specific about what certain sounds mean.Pediatrician Eric Ball pointed out that evaluating cries can never be an exact science. "I think that all of the apps and technology that new parents are using now can be helpful but need to be taken seriously, ' Ball said. "I do worry that some parents will get stuck in big data and turn their parenting into basically a spreadsheet (电子表格) which I think will take away the love and caring that parents are supposed to be providing for their children."But Anderson says the aim of the app is to have parents interpret the results, not to provide a yes or no answer. The Bells say it's a win-win. They believe they are not only helping their babies now but potentially others in the future.32. How does the app judge what babies want?A. By collecting data.B. By recording all the sounds.C. By analysing the sound of their crying.D. By asking parents about specific messages.33. Who was the app designed for in the beginning?A. Deaf parents.B. All new parents.C. Ariana Anderson.D. Babies often crying.34. What can we know according to Ball?A. The app can provide an accurate result.B. The app makes babies love their parents.C. Parents and babies are addicted to the app.D. Parents should use the app wisely.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Parents Overrely on SmartphonesB. App Knows Why Babies CryC. Parents Build Babies' DatabaseD. App Prevents Babies Crying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。
