D．Grant W.BWith pet ownership becoming more popular, being saddened by the loss of a beloved pet is becoming a terrible headache. Li Peng, a woolen felt （织物）craftswoman, has found a unique way to preserve the memory of dead pets by creating realistic woolen images.Li’s journey i nto this craft is accidental. During her college years, she majored in e-commerce and worked part time at a pet store. One day, while visiting a website, she came upon a small fox made entirely of wool. Astonished at its delicacy, she set off on a self-taught journey inthis art form. In late 2019, Li Peng made the firm decision to start her own business and pursue wool felting as a full-time profession.While a video showcasing the work may only take a few minutes to watch, the actual process is far more intricate. The three-dimensional creations feature genuine fur, lifelike glass eyes and tiny whiskers （胡须）, each one individually secured by hand. To achieve a vivid effect, she repeatedly sticks layers of wool with a needle, winding the loose fibers together to create solid felted shapes. The key is massive patience.The handcrafted creations satisfy her desire to convey love. The majority of her customers are pet owners who have experienced the loss of their beloved companions. They send Li photographs and even their pets’ hair, hoping to freeze the appearance of their furry friends through her wool felting models. Fascinated by the deep bond between people and their pets, she is committed to grabbing and investing these emotions in her artworks. And it turns out that the career is a success. Orders are often scheduled for one year later, and she has gained substantial attention through social media.Reflecting on her work, Li expresses her desire to create meaningful pieces using the warm material, offering a heartfelt gift of warmth to the beautiful souls of this world.（）4．What inspired Li Peng to take up wool felting as a careerA．A temporary job at a pet shop. B．Her self-study art course.C．A discovery of an alternative to fiber. D．A woolen creation online. （）5．What does the underlined word “intricate” mean in paragraph 3 A．Confusing. B．Efficient. C．Complicated. D．Effortless.（）6．Who are Li Peng’s primary clientsA．Conservationists of animal rights. B．Individuals fond of furry toys. C．Distributors providing personalized service. D．People suffering from pet loss.（）7．What’s the crucial factor behind Li Peng’s successA．Fair product pricing. B．Human-pet attachment.C．Smart network marketing. D．Hunger for a fine reputation.CThink you have a good grasp of English Good. Read the six sentences below, then.Sentence 1: The old man the boat.Sentence 2: The cotton clothing is made of grows in Mississippi. Sentence 3: Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.Sentence 4: Fat people eat collects.Sentence 5: The man who hunts ducks out on weekends.Sentence 6: The complex houses married and single soldiers and their families.Linguists （语言学家）call these “garden path sentences”, which take you by the hand and lead you down a winding path to a dead end.Despite this, they’re all grammatically correct. Let’s see why.Sentence 1: The old man the boat.Besides sounding like a rejected Hemingway title, this sentence is indeed grammatically correct thanks to some well-placed homonyms —words that share the same spellings but have different meanings. Homonym 1 here is “old”, used as a noun, meaning “old people”; homonym 2 is “man”, used as a verb, meaning “to serve in/on”. With that in mind, the sentence means “The old people serve on the boat”.Sentence 2: The cotton clothing is made of grows in Mississippi.At first read, you’d think “is made of” is the main verb of this sentence. But it’s not. The simplest form of this sentence is “The cotton grows in Mississippi”; confusingly, “clothing is made of” is used to tell us what cotton we’re talking about. This sentence would make way more sense if written “The cotton that clothing is made of grows in Mississippi”, but English allows us to remove certain conjunctions like “that”, with its meaning maintained.Sentence 3: Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.The first half of this sentence is easy to catch. So when dealing with the other half, people usually follow the structure of the first half, and it’d be understood as “fruits fly like bananas”. This is obviously unreasonable. Only when people rethink can they recognize the true meaning of the sentence. Therefore, such sentences manage to make people ignore thestructure of the sentence itself, thus departing from its original meaning. Come on! Take a walk down the garden path with the rest of the sentences.（）8．What’s the characteristic of “garden path sentences” according to linguistsA．Misleading but error-free. B．Accurate and plain.C．Improperly-worded and meaningless. D．Ungrammatical but comprehensible.（）9．Which word is an example similar to the homonym of “man” in sentence 1A．“grows” in sentence 2 . B．“eat” in sentence 4.C．“hunts” in sentence 5. D．“houses” in sentence 6.（）10．Which of the following correctly interprets “fruit flies like a ba nana” in sentence 3A．“fruit flies” refers to a sort of insect.B．“flies” serves as the verb of the sentence.C．“flies like” explains what fruit is talked about.D．“like” has the same meaning as the “like” before it.（）11．What can be the troublemaker in sentence 4A．The ill-placed verbs. B．The removal of “that”.C．The grammar mistakes. D．The lack of noun behind “collects”.DSocial media provides materialists with ideal opportunities to compare themselves with others, which makes them subject to passive and addictive user behavior. This stresses them out and, ultimately, leads to low life satisfaction, according to a new study.The researchers headed by Dr. Phillip Ozimek from Germany employed 1,230 people for their online survey. In order to participate, respondents had to visit at least one social media channel at least once a week. On average, the participants stated they spent just over two hours a day on social media.The team used six different questionnaires to determine the extent to which the participants had a materialistic attitude and tended to compare themselves with others, whether they used social media more actively or passively, whether they were addicted to social media, how stressed and how satisfied they were with their lives.“The data sh owed a stronger materialistic approach goes hand in hand with a tendency to compare oneself with others,” points out Ozimek. This comparison is easy to make on social media, primarily through passive use — by looking at the content posted by other users. Materialism and passive use were also linked to addictive use of social media.“Users are constantly thinking about the respective channels and fear they’re missing out on something if they aren’t online,” explains Ozimek.“This in turn leads to poorer ment al health like stress. The final link in the chain is reduced life satisfaction.”“Overall, the study provides further evidence that the use of social media is associated with risks, especially for people with a highly materialistic mindset,” says the psychologist. “This is particularly worrying, because social media can stimulate and increase materialistic values through influence r marketing. Meanwhile, the platforms attract materialists anyway, as they’re a perfect way to satisfy materialistic needs.”“It’s definitely a good idea to be aware of the amount of time you spend on social media and to reduce it,” recommends Ozimek, who advises against giving up social media completely. “If you did, you’re likely to over-correct.”He also suggests recording mater ialism and social media use in patients undergoing treatment for mental health disorders. “While these factors are often irrelevant, they can be a starting point for additional interventions patients can try out at home.”（）12．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text A．The Virtual World, the Real DangerB．Showing Superiority Causes Heavy Media UseC．More Social Media Materialism, Less HappinessD．Materialistic Values: A Stepping Stone to Discontent（）13．To qualify for the survey, a participant must ______.A．be a big spender B．specialize in data analysisC．be a regular social media user D．upload web surfing history（）14．What kind of feeling is expressed by Ozimek in paragraph 6 A．Pessimism. B．Sympathy. C．Shock. D．Concern.（）15．What does Ozimek propose concerning using social media A．Restricting the duration. B．Logging onto well-rated websites. C．Abandoning it for good. D．Prohibiting patients from using it.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
2023届四川省广安市高三上学期第一次诊断性考试英语试题(含答案解析)
2023届四川省广安市高三上学期第一次诊断性考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解With globally famous literary festivals,specialty bookshops and a rich cultural well to draw from,Toronto is a literature lover’s dream.Here are two festivals.When Word on the Street was first held in Toronto in1990,it was designed to celebrate Canada’s rich literary culture.Now it’s become the largest festival in the country devoted to books and magazines.It’s free for attendees.Of course,you have to pay if you buy books here.Then,the contemporary-literature-focused Toronto International Festival of Authors(TIFA)will come next month-each October.TIFA Kids takes place at the same time,making for a literary escape for the whole family.How about specialty bookshops?Flying Books is a bookstore,book publisher and writing school founded by book editor Martha Sharpe.You can find Sharpe’s selection of titles at The Good Neighbor Espresso Bar and the Gladstone House.Extend your literature experience from home with its virtual classes on criticism,journalism,memoir and more,taught by experienced Canadian authors.Ben McNally Books(possibly the city’s most beautiful bookstore)is in the east of the Financial District,whose owner is regularly on-site to assist you with recommendations.Type Books across from green Trinity Bellwoods Park which is the perfect spot to read under the trees is co-owned by a former literature professor and best for general interest.West end’s Monkey’s Paw,where you can find rare books,and unique finds,specializes in secondhand and ancient books.Queen Books in Leslieville has an excellent kids’section where you can buy the latest children’s books.1．What do we know about Word on the Street?A．It has grown gradually.B．It is held each October.C．It charges participants.D．It is of TIFA origin.2．What can Flying Books help you do?A．Become a book editor faster.B．Build up a personal library.C．Get the free books from authors.D．Improve your literary skills online. 3．Which bookstore will you go to find a good place to read after buying books?A．Queen Books.B．Ben McNally Books.C．Type Books.D．Monkey’s Paw.Ouarzazate is a desert town at the foot of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco,Africa,which attracts Hollywood and European film makers for its varied scenery and picture-perfect locations.Its Kasbah,with its red and brown mud houses and narrow streets,is one of these locations.It’s been chosen by many US and British movie makers as a location for big-budget films such as Gladiators and Kingdom of Heaven.The cinema has brought a lot to Ouarzazate,whose people may work as technicians, sound engineers or decorators,but they are mainly given unimportant roles as extras.Mbarka, her husband,and their five children have all appeared in Western films as extras.Mbarka has been in so many Hollywood films over the past20years that she cannot remember most of them.She doesn’t even know the name of the last one she appeared in.“I was in the film for15days.My son,Azzedine,knows its name,”said Mbarka.It’s unnecessary to remember that.After all,it’s not that she likes the industry,but that she makes a living from it.Kingdom of Heaven,a$180million US production,provided eight months of work for 2800Ouarzazate people.“When the cinema comes here,people are happy,”said Azzedine who has appeared in movies since he was seven.When there’s no movie in town,his mother sells sandwiches in the local market,but he doesn’t seek any other job or go to school to improve his skills,not wanting to miss a film opportunity though he’s not well paid.In fact, inexperienced Moroccan extras get as little as$15per day.Still,the money isn’t bad considering the average salary in Ouarzazate is about$6a day.Those with experience earn more;they get about$24per day or as much as$60.Inexperienced European extras,on the other hand,get about$40per day.This has led to complaints of discrimination by some Ouarzazate people.4．What can be learnt about Mbarka?A．She is a senior extra.B．She loves making films. C．She’s left show business.D．She has been forgetful.5．What does Azzedine do when there’s no movie work?A．He learns hard to be a real actor.B．He always goes out to work.C．He deliberately remains jobless.D．He helps his mother in a market.6．What’s Ouarzazate people’s attitude to the arrival of the foreign film industry? A．Tolerant.B．Favorable.C．Unwilling.D．Carefree. 7．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To promote two big-budget films.B．To introduce the extras’situations. C．To recommend an African Hollywood.D．To call for an end to pay discrimination.Bus stops across the United Kingdom(UK)and Europe are getting living roofs.They are called bee bus stops.Bees and other pollinators(传粉者)like butterflies help grow plants,such as flowers, trees,and crops.When these insects visit flowers,they collect pollen—a yellow powder in the center of most flowers.Without bees or other insects bringing pollen from one flower to another,many plants couldn’t produce seeds or grow fruits or vegetables.But as humans have taken over more and more land for cities,roads,and farms,more natural areas have disappeared.The Wildlife Trusts,a group which works to protect wildlife in the UK,says that insect numbers there have dropped by50%since1970.Then bee bus stops are born.The advertising company Clear Channel is working with the Wildlife Trusts and city governments to set up bee bus stops in cities across the UK.They are like ordinary bus shelters,but small gardens have been added to the roofs.The gardens are filled with flowers and plants chosen to attract bees and butterflies.Even though the gardens are small,together they add up to a much1larger area.Because the soil for the rooftop garden is heavy,especially when it rains,the bus shelters need to be sturdy.The rooftop gardens need to be cleaned about twice a year.But other than that,not much is needed to keep the gardens going.This summer was a little different, because of the extreme heat.Clear Channel that already has similar bee bus stop programs in several countries in Europe is working with local governments to build at least1,000bee bus stops in the UK. Research shows that these bus stops,along with many other steps taken to support pollinators, are helping.After decades of dropping numbers,bee populations in Europe have become more stable over the last few years.8．What is paragraph2mainly about concerning pollinators?A．Their ways of life.B．Their importance.C．Their daily behavior.D．Their living environment.9．What are bee bus stops intended for?A．Beautifying the crowded cities.B．Offering insects islands of nature.C．Introducing eco-friendly products.D．Drawing attention to climate change.10．What does the underlined word“sturdy”in paragraph4mean?A．Strong.B．Large.C．Clean.D．Attractive.11．Which of the following best describes the bee bus stop program?A．Costly.B．Controversial.C．Demanding.D．Successful.For years,doctors have given blood to patients who need it to survive.These transfusions usually include giving red blood cells to patients.Blood transfusions aren’t as simple as taking blood from one person and giving it to someone else.There’re several different blood types that don’t all mix well.If someone gets a transfusion of the wrong kind of blood,their body will reject the blood cells,causing problems.For the first time ever,scientists from the University of Bristol,Britain,are carrying out a new trail:testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The scientists have used stem cells(干细胞)from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells.This could be even better than a regular blood transfusion.For one thing,they can be adjusted for people with different blood types.That’ll be extremely helpful for people with rare blood types.Also,a normal transfusion has red blood cells of all different ages,which means only a small part of them are brand new.The red blood cells grown in the lab are brand new,and this means they last longer and that patients will need fewer transfusions.To test its safety,researchers have given a couple of teaspoons of the blood to two healthy people,both of whom seem to be doing just fine after the transfusions.In all,they’ll be tested on10people,and compared to normal transfusions.The new process doesn’t indicate that normal blood transfusions will disappear.Meanwhile,growing red blood cells in a lab is extremely expensive.And a lot of work and testing still need to be done.But if it’s successful,the process could make life much easier for patients who often need transfusions-even those with rare blood types.12．What is special about the red blood cells in1the experiment?A．They’re given by those with rare blood types.B．They’re collected from seriously ill patients.C．They’re specifically for a single blood type.D．They’ve never existed in any human bodies.13．What is the disadvantage of normal blood transfusion?A．Blood reserves are often inadequate.B．It often takes the patient a lot of time.C．Most normal blood cells don’t live long.D．It’s unfit for those with rare blood types.14．What can be inferred about the new process of red blood cells?A．It will have a long way to go.B．It’ll replace normal transfusions.C．It will separate rare blood types.D．It’ll reduce blood research costs.15．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．Blood Transfusions Get EasierB．Rare Blood Types Are Not RareC．Rare Blood Cells Need DonatingD．Scientists Test Lab-created Blood二、七选五A microscope is a scientific instrument that reveals objects which are normally too small for the human eyes to see.Microscopes use several lenses(镜片)to provide a large image of atiny object and they have been important in the study of biology.__16__.People noticed that single lenses could make objects larger and also that they could focus the sun’s rays to start a fire.These early lenses were called burning glasses.This led to the development of eye-glasses or spectacles in the early1300s.In the late1500s,two Dutch spectacle makers,Hans and Zaccharias Janssen,invented the first true microscope.__17__,and they were surprised to discover that they could make objects look many times bigger.Galileo,an Italian scientist,improved the quality of the lenses to produce better quality microscopes and telescopes.Anthony Leeuwenhoek(1632-1723)and Robert Hooke(1635-1703)were two early users of the microscope.__18__.Leeuwenhoek discovered bacteria and showed how a drop of water is full of living creatures.Robert Hooke wrote a book Micrographia which described this new world of micro-organisms with drawings that amazed the world.For two hundred years,there was little development of the microscope until new industrial techniques produced accurate and powerful lenses.__19__,so they were often inaccurate.In the early twentieth century,the USA and Germany produced powerful microscopes in large numbers for export around the world.Nowadays,scientists still use microscopes that use light to see small objects such as cells and micro-organisms.__20__.These electron microscopes have a magnification(放大) of a million times and now we can see molecules(分子)and atoms.A．They used several lenses together in a tubeB．Microscopes were expensive in their early daysC．Before this time,people made the lenses by handD．They made many important discoveries for mankind by using itE．The word microscope comes from the New Latin word microscopiumF．But they also have so powerful microscopes that use a different technologyG．The discovery of glass over2000years ago led to early experiments with lenses三、完形填空Fritz Sam was driving his Uber car when he picked up Jemimah Wei,who was on her way to LaGuardia Airport.__21__Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy neighborhood,Fritz saw a building on fire.He asked Jemimah if she’d mind him pulling over to check it out.With Jemimah’s__22__,he went out to help.Outside of the building a crowd had__23__,and Fritz joined them in calling for the people inside to come out.And when someone said two people were__24__inside,he was faced with the__25__of staying safe out on the sidewalk or running into the__26__ building to help those that remained.Fritz chose the latter.He__27__entered the smoke-filled building and went up the stairs.

2024届四川省绵阳市高三上学期第一次诊断性考试英语试题
2024届四川省绵阳市高三上学期第一次诊断性考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The upcoming China-Central Asia Summit is to be held in Xi’an, which has a history of over 3,000 years and enjoys a reputation as a “Living History Museum”. If you are among the participants, just enjoy the following.The Terracotta ArmyIt is one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century. Discovered in 1974, the army of Terracotta Warriors was constructed by China’s First Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-207 BC) with a collection of thousands of life-size terracotta soldiers and horses differing in facial features and expressions, clothing, hairstyle and also body position.Ancient City WallIt was built in the 14th century by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first Emperor of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). Now it is one of the oldest and best-preserved Chinese city walls. The wall is now a landmark, where you can enjoy a good view of the city.Giant Wild Goose PagodaOne of China’s most famous Buddhist pagodas, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, was built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) for the study of Buddhist scriptures (经典). One of its main functions was to store scriptures brought to China from India by the famous monk and traveler Xuan Zang.Shaanxi History MuseumIt is home to over 370,000 precious treasures unearthed in Shaanxi. Its collections range from bronze wares to pottery (陶) figures, gold and paintings from the Tang Dynasty tombs. Among its precious collections, some pieces have been listed as national treasures. 1．Where can you go if you’re into ancient China’s troops?A．The Terracotta Army.B．Ancient City Wall.C．Giant Wild Goose Pagoda.D．Shaanxi History Museum.2．What do the four attractions have in common?A．They date back to 1, 000 years ago.B．They have wonderful tall buildings.C．They show the great historical charm of Xi’an.D．They have a wide range of precious collections.3．Who is the passage mainly intended for?A．The travelers to Xi’an.B．The history-lovers to Xi’an.C．The participants to a summit in Xi’an.D．The visitors to a famous museum in Xi’an.My wife, Hannah, and I didn’t usually keep houseplants. Anything in pots got either over-watered or under-watered and was finally thrown away. But after my diagnosis (诊断) with glioblastoma, a terminal brain cancer, I loved the idea of having something new and green around.My friend Mitch gave me a lucky bamboo plant in a deep-green pottery bowl. We placed the plant beside the living room window.I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself. When it didn’t turn yellow or brown or lose all its leaves a fortnight later, I was kind of pleased. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment.Glioblastoma limited my ability to walk, making it hard for me to accomplish everyday tasks. As a family physician, I was used to being the one who provided care instead of the one who received it. My diagnosis made me rely on help from other people. The great change left me unsettled. Watering the plant, small act though it was, taught me I could still be a caregiver.Later, after I recovered from surgery and completed chemotherapy (化疗), I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it even doubled in height and its leaves were shiny. Both the tree and I were thriving (生机勃勃).Whenever I look at the bamboo, I make a point to think of those who have cared for and supported me. Even if my cancer returns and the plant outlives me, I hope it will comfort Hannah and remind her that our large community will continue to care for her after I am gone.4．What usually happened to the couple’s houseplants?A．They were given away.B．They hardly survived.C．They grew quite well.D．They were properly cared for.5．How did the author react when the plant remained healthy after two weeks?A．He had a sense of achievement.B．He suffered a sense of loss.C．He felt completely useless.D．He got encouraged.6．Why did the author want to care for the bamboo himself?A．His wife was too busy.B．He had much time to kill.C．He hated to lose his old identity.D．He had gained better gardening skills. 7．What message does the author seem to convey in the last paragraph?A．Pride comes before a fall.B．It’s family that matters most.C．Kindness is the key to a happy life.D．The world never lacks care and support.The fireworks that you see are most likely made in China. The country that makes90% of the world’s fireworks is also where they were invented. Most historians believe that the Chinese used firecrackers as early as the second century B．C．Many countries hold grand fireworks show at their important celebrations. Canadians, for example, put on fireworks show every July 1 to celebrate their own national birthday, as the French do on July 14 to mark the anniversary of their revolution. But the United States of America imports most of the world’s fireworks, spending more than $650 million on them per year. The Walt Disney Co. alone buys about $50 million worth.A mixture of gunpowder and other flammable compounds(混合物) causes fireworks to explode across the sky in all those pretty colors and fun shapes. Copper, for instance, burns bright blue while strontium(锶) creates deep red. Together, they produce purple. But the outlines fireworks form depend on the placement of these compounds inside their casing (known as the shell), as well as the shape of the shell itself.For centuries the only way to set off fireworks was by hand, but computer controlled equipment came out in the 1980s. Automation means more precisely timed explosions, making the displays more satisfying, not to mention safer.As you might imagine, setting off fireworks can release harmful substances into the air. For example, a chemical that has been linked to thyroid(甲状腺) problems. “Environmentally friendly”fireworks were developed at the request of the Walt Disney Co. after it received smoke complaints from neighbors of Disneyland. Nowadays, an even more eco-friendly alternative to traditional fireworks is being increasingly adopted: using small aircrafts withoutpilots to trace flashy patterns in the sky. With them, there’s also a much smaller risk of causing wildfires. The eco-friendly fireworks industry is expected to grow almost 20% between now and 2027.8．Which country has the greatest demand for fireworks every year?A．Canada.B．China.C．France.D．The USA．9．What does the color of fireworks mainly depend on?A．The shape of the shell.B．The amount of gunpowder.C．The type of added metals.D．The placement of compounds. 10．What can be inferred about fireworks industry from the text?A．It’s disappearing gradually.B．It’s trying to keep up with times.C．It’s becoming a major pollution source.D．It’s losing popularity among the young.11．Where can the text be found?A．A science fiction.B．A popular magazine.C．An academic paper.D．An official document.More than half of the world’s largest lakes have lost significant amounts of water over the last three decades, and roughly one-quarter of the world’s population lives in the basin of a drying lake, according to a new study by a team of international scientists, which pins the blame largely on climate change and excessive(过度的)water use.While lakes cover only around 3% of the planet, they hold nearly 90% of its liquid surface freshwater and are primary sources of drinking water, irrigation and power, and they provide vital habitats(栖息地) for animals and plants.Across the world, the most significant lakes are seeing sharp declines. The Colorado River’s Lake Mead in Southwest US has shrunk dramatically due to a megadrought(大干旱) and decades of overuse. The Caspian Sea, between Asia and Europe the world’s largest inland body of water has long been declining.The shrinking of many lakes has been well documented by environmental groups, but the reasons behind it have been hardly examined, said Fangfang Yao, the study’s lead author and a visiting scholar at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder.The researchers used satellite measurements of nearly 2,000 of the world’s largest lakes, which together represent 95% of Earth’s total lake water storage. Examining more than 250,000 satellite images spanning from 1992 to 2020, along with climate models, they were able to reconstruct the history of the lakes going back decades.“The results were staggering,” Yao said. “It’s a little scary to see how many freshwater systems are unable to store as much water as they used to.”“As many parts of the world become hotter and drier, lakes must be managed properly. Otherwise climate change and human activities can lead to drying sooner than we think,” Yao added.12．What might be the author’s purpose in writing the second paragraph?A．To broaden readers’ horizons.B．To encourage readers to protect wildlife.C．To lighten readers’ worries over water shortage.D．To show shrinkage of lakes should be taken seriously.13．What has environmental groups ignored?A．The recording of shrinking lakes.B．The influence of water shortage.C．Causes of the shrinkage of many lakes.D．Measures to stop the shrinkage of lakes.14．What can we learn about the new study from Paragraph 5?A．It’s scientifically-grounded.B．It’s much-debated.C．It’s commercially-successful.D．It’s partially-acceptable.15．Which does the underlined word “staggering”probably mean in Paragraph 6?A．Puzzling.B．Shocking.C．Inspiring.D．Amazing.二、七选五The Eyes Are the PrizeWe watch our salt and fat intake to protect our hearts. We exercise and take calcium to protect our bones. 16 . But what can we do to protect our eyes? We asked experts what lifestyle steps people should be taking to protect their vision and eye health.●Spring for some quality shades“It is very important to protect the eyes from UV(紫外线的) light, which has been shown to have a harmful effect on the eyes. ”says Esen Akpek, an ophthalmology(眼科)professor at Johns Hopkins University.“ 17 . In fact, if the glasses are simply dark but not UV-protected, that’s worse for your eyes. Do buy sunglasses that can block out 99% to 100% UV light.”●Take a break from screensWhile there’s no scientific evidence that the light from electronic screens damages eyes, staring at a screen can leave eyes extremely tired. One of the reasons is that people tend to blink(眨眼) less during screen use. 18 . The National Institutes of Health recommends taking a break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds.● 19First, smoking is terrible. It isn’t just bad for your lungs; it can harm eyes too. “Smoking causes dry eyes, harms optic(视觉) nerve and makes eye disease worse,” says Dr. Akpek.20 .“The more you rub, the more uncomfortable your eyes will get. It can lead to infections. Instead, take medication or use drops for allergies or dry eyes.”A．Stop smokingB．This leads to eye drynessC．Get rid of those bad habitsD．Also, try not to rub your eyesE．We apply sun-screen to protect our skinF．Our eyes are far more important than themG．Dark glasses aren’t necessarily the most protective三、完形填空One summer evening, after a shopping trip back home with my six kids, I suddenlyagain and again.

I was scared you weren’t coming back.”I asked her what she remembered the most. “You apologized,” she said. “I felt 37 , a lot. You’re a 38 mother.” she said calmly, grabbing my hands.
