ASaint Paul has four ice rink (溜冰场) locations. All hockey (冰球) rinks have boards and nets. See below for locations, hours, and updates.Cold Weather Policy: Rinks will close if temperatures reach -25F.Warm Weather Policy: In order to prevent extended closures due to damaged ice, rinks will close if melt water is visible on the surface.Rink Hours & Locations:Rink hours and conditions are subject to change without notice. Rinks will close periodically for maintenance. Appointed hockey rinks may be unavailable for openskating during hockey practices or scheduled open hockey times. Please call the numbers listed below to confirm details.Our maintenance crew and dedicated volunteers work hard to keep the rinks clean,but Saint Paul snow piles up fast and freezes easily, which can quickly reduce the skateable surface area of the rink. Even if you feel you can't commit to volunteering, you are still desired to help by clearing snow while visiting the rinks. Thank you for doingyour part to make Saint Paul rinks great.1. What situation can cause rinks to close?A. No water is found on the surface.B. The temperatures are below 25F.C. Rinks undergo maintenance checks.D. The boards and nets are almost broken.2.

To advertise Saint Paul's ice rinks.B. To stimulate visitors to remove snow.C. To present Saint Paul's snow piles.D. To praise rinks' crew and volunteers.BIt was this very morning that Garrone let us know what he is like.The master had not yet arrived, and three or four boys were bullying Crossi, the one with the red hair who has a dead arm and whose mother sells vegetables. They were hitting him in the face with chestnut shells. And he, alone on the end of the bench, became quite pale, begging that they leave him in peace.All at once, Franti sprang upon a bench. Pretending that he was carrying a basket on each arm, he aped the mother of Crossi when she used to come to wait for her son at door. Many began to laugh loudly and Crossi was trembling and turning red with anger.Suddenly Crossi seized an inkstand and threw it at the other’s head with all his strength, but Franti moved aside, and the inkstand struck the master who entered at the moment, full in the breast. All flew to their places and became silent with terror. The master, quite pale, went to his table, and said in a controlled voice:“Who did it?”No one replied.The master cried out once more, raising his voice still louder, “Who is it?”Then Garrone, moved to pity for poor Crossi, rose sharply and said resolutely, “ It was I.”The master looked at him, looked at the confused scholars, then said in a calm voice, “It was not you.”And after a mom ent. “The culprit shall not be punished. Let him rise!”Crossi rose and said, weeping “They were striking me and insulting me, and I lost my head and threw it.”“Sit down,” said the master. “Let those who provoked him rise.”Four rose and hung their heads. “You,” said the master, “have insulted an unfortunate companion; you have struck a weak person who could not defend himself. You have committed one of the most shameful acts!”Then he went over to Garrone and looked him straight in the eye, and said to hi m, “You are a noble soul.”Garrone profited by the occasion to murmur some words, I know not what, in the ear of the master; and he, turning towards the four boys, said abruptly, “I forgive you.”4. What finally provoked Crossi to throw an inkstand?A. Fra nti made fun of Crossi’s mother walking with a dead arm.B. Franti imitated the way Crossi’s mother carried her basket.C. The boys hit Crossi in the face hard with chestnut shells.D. The boys pulled Crossi upon a bench and laughed at him loudly.5. The u nderlined word “culprit” probably means ________.A. advocateB. leaderC. captainD. offender6. The master praised Garrone as a noble soul because ________.A. he dared to speak his mindB. he forgave the four bulliesC. he took the blame for CrossiD. he brought bad guys to justice7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Generous DeedB. A Domestic IncidentC. Making the Right ChoiceD. To Believe or Not to BelieveCIt happens sometimes—the forecast says it’s going to rain, but you carry the umbrella with you all day only to find that it isn’t. It’s natural for weather forecasts to make mistakes, but hopefully the launch of Fengyun 4A, China’s new weather satellite, on Dec. 12 will make things better.Although it is 36,000 km above Earth, Fengyun 4A could be an important part of our lives.According to Dong Yaohai, the chief designer of the satellite at the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, the satellite has four instruments, including a lightning mapping imager and a radiation imager.The lightning mapping imager can take 500 pictures of lightning within one second. These pictures will greatly improve thunderstorm forecasts as well as the research on lightning’s frequency and e ffects. The radiation imager will be used to find out the amounts of PM 10 and PM2. 5 in the air. Both of these are harmful particles (颗粒) that can damage our health.The satellite is also very sensitive. It is able to tell if there has been a temperature change of 0.1 C on the ground.Since 1988, China has launched 14 satellites in the Fengyun series. Each satellite has had a different job, and each generation of satellite has been more accurate and updated data more often than the one before.According to Qu Yan, deputy head of the academy, since 2000 all typhoons formed and developed in the Western Pacific and South China Sea have been successfully found and followed. “Forecasting of typhoons has become increasingly more accurate, and the Fengyun satellites can be credited for this,” said QU.And the technology is shared with the world. China’s weather satellites, together with those from the US and Europe, are used by the World Meteorological Organization, which means weather data collected by the satellites is made available to more than 3,000 weather forecast outlets in more than 90 countries and regions worldwide.8. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. The weather forecast is unbelievable at all.B. The weather forecast can not make any mistake.C. Fengyun 4A is believed to make the weather forecast better.D. Fengyun 4A has made the weather forecast more reliable.9. What do we know about the Fengyun series from the article?A. They have the same job and accuracy.B. The new one is more accurate than the former ones.C. They can hardly forecast natural disaster.D. They often update their data.10. What does the underlined word mean in the last but one paragraph?A. Praised.B. Applied.C. Accused.D. Scolded.11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Education.B. Health.C. Entertainment.D. Science.DSome bats sing just as birds and humans do. But how they learn their calls and melodies is a mystery—one that scientists will try to solve by researching the genes of more than 1,000 bat species.The project, called Bat 1K, was announced on 14 November at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California. Its organizers also hope to learn more about the flying mammals’ ech olocation ability—the ability to find directions in the dark; their strong immune systems that can defend against Ebola, a deadly virus; and their relatively long lifespans.“The genomes of all these other species, like birds and mice, are well-understood,” says an expert at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. “But we don’t know anything about bat genes yet.”Some bats show babbling behavior including barks, chatter, screeches, whistles and trills, says Mirjam Knörnschild, a behavioral ecologist at the Free University of Berlin. Young bats learn the songs and other sounds from older male tutors. They use these sounds during courtship and mating, when they seek food and as they defend their territory against rivals.Scientists have studied the vocal sounds of only about 50 bat species so far,Knörnschild says, and they know much less about bats’ communication than birds’. Four species of bat have so far been found to learn vocal sounds from each other, their fathers and other adult males, just as a child gradually learns how to speak from its parents.Genetic studies have discovered at least one gene in bats that is linked to speech and language, called FOXP2. The gene is also known to have a role in how people learn language, and in vocal learning in song-birds. Researchers working on the Bat 1K project expect to find that other genes are also involved in communication, and that many more bat species have the ability to learn songs, calls and other sounds. “It’s not a ra re trait,” Knörnschild says. “I’m becoming convinced that all bats are more or less the same in vocal learning.”Bats’ echolocation ability has been studied for many years, partly because of its applications to sonar and radar. But scientists know very little about the vocal communication and social behaviour that drive how bats learn their songs and sounds, says Michael Yartsev, a neurobiologist at University of California, Berkeley. The study of vocal learning in bats is “nearly completely untapped”, he s ays—comparing it to the state of research into birdsong 60 years ago.12. The project, Bat 1K is carried out mainly to ________.A. do research on the genes of more bat speciesB. research bats’ ability to find directions in the darkC. study the way bats learn their calls and songsD learn more secrets about bats’ longer lifespans13. From Para 5 and 6, we can safely infer that ________.A. scientists have studied only approximately 50 bat species so farB. of all bats, only four species learn vocal sounds from each otherC. more than one gene linked to speech and language has been discoveredD. the gene FOXP2 has something to do with human language learning14. Which of the following is the word“trait” in Paragraph 6 closest to in meaning?A. qualityB. behaviorC. habitD. gene15. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Scientists try to know more about bat genes.B. Scientists seek keys to bats’ vocal sounds.C. All bats are almost the same in vocal learning.D. Bats sing just as birds and human beings do.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

赢战2020高考英语百日冲刺卷 08第一部分阅读理解(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和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
ASome of the best cycling routes in the world pass through the most beautiful scenery. Here are some of world’s best bike routes for cyclists who are ei ther up for having a good sweat or simply seeing the world without leaving an ugly carbon footprint behind.The Great Ocean Road, Victoria, AustraliaIf you like a challenge, take on this 243kilometer windy road along Australia’s southeastern coast. If a day is all you’ve got, take the 60kilometer route from Torquay to Bells Beach. There you’ll cycle through rural farmland, enjoy the sweeping ocean views from cliff tops, and snake past the wetlands around Lake Connewarre.The Udaipur City Tour, Rajasthan, IndiaBiking is arguably the best way to explore Udaipur, Venice of the East.Cyclists often need to cycle past herdsmen and their goats and camels, sharing narrow, old pavements in this romantic place. But surrounded by ancient castles and grand palaces, Udaipur brings about one of the best biking experiences, allowing cyclists to truly discover rural India.The Karakoram Highway, China-PakistanThe Karakoram Highway is the highest international road in the world, reaching an altitude of 4, 717 meters near the Khunjerab Pass. Starting in Kashgar, China, cyclists can travel up to 1, 200 kilometers on mostly unpaved roads, but the views are as breathtaking as the riding.The Route of the Hiawatha, Idaho-Montana, United StatesTake your family out to Montana this summer and cycle along the most scenic disused railroad in the country. The railroad turned bike trail turns into 24 kilometers of leisure biking that takes you over seven trestles(栈桥) and through 10 tunnels, with the longest one, the Taft Tunnel, stretching for 2.7 kilometers. 1.In which tour can you enjoy the seaside scenery?A.The Great Ocean Road.B.The Udaipur City Tour.C.The Karakoram Highway.D.The Route of the Hiawatha.2.What can you do on the Udaipur City Tour?A.Go to Venice.B.Feed wild animals.C.Visit cultural relics.D.Enjoy modern architectures.3.What’s special about the Karakoram Highway?A.It is a totally undeveloped route.B.It goes along an abandoned railway.C.It owns the longest tunnel in the world.D.It lies higher than any other international road in the world.BIt took multiple weddings for Christine Law to realize what she needed to do. In the summer of 2014, her schedule was packed with friends’ marriage celebrations—flower-filled occasions that got her thinking, “Where do all the flowers go after the party?” More often than not, they were thrown away. Law was confident she could find a better use for them.By August, she had a plan:convince couples and companies hosting events to donate their flowers, which she would pick up and deliver within 48 hours to seniors across the city. She wanted to bring beauty into the lives of the elderly. She drew on her experience through being a volunteer in non-profit institutions in order to set up her own organization, which she called Floranthropie. Not having enough bouquets(花束) for all 150 people of a health center, Law asked the staff to provide a list of patients who needed cheering up most. “The first woman I approached thought it was a mistake, and that the flowers couldn’t possibl y be for her,” says Law. “I said they were a gift, and we talked for a half hour.In addition to health centers, Floranthropie focuses on community groups devoted to the elderly. Laëtitia Thélème is a volunteer for Les Petits Fières, an organization that a ims to help the elderly who don’t have a support system. The group receives a dozen or so bouquets from Floranthropie monthly, and then redistributes them. “Our motto is ‘flowers before bread’,” says Thélème. “We don’t focus on primary car e, but rather on nourishing(滋养) the spirit. Floranthropie helps us do that. It’s amazing what a big difference a small bouquet can make.”In the beginning, most of Floranthropie’s donations came through word of mouth. These days, Lawreceives messages from strangers via he r organization’s Facebook page and has connected with corporations and flower wholesalers. Law hopes to expand Floranthropie nationally, but at this point is happy to be able to oversee each delivery personally.4.What made Christine Law set up Floranthropie?A.The waste of flowers.B.The loneliness of seniors.C.The persuasion of other friends.D.The warm atmosphere of weddings.5.What was the woman’s reaction to Christine Law’s flowers?A.She was moved.B.She was excited.C.She was worried.D.She was surprised.6.What can we infer about Floranthropie from Laëtitia Thélème’s words?A.It should focus on primary care.B.It is benefiting more than the elderly.C.It is doing something of great importance.D.It should cooperate with more non-profit institutions.7.What is the best title for the text?A.V olunteer Your TimeB.Don’t Throw Flowers AwayC.Special Delivery Makes Your DayD.Brighten Seniors’ Lives with FlowersCYoung trees don’t just grow;they develop a personality and learn more about their environment and how they should best behave in it.They also help each other out whenever there’s trouble.Personality, just as among people, varies among trees.Some are anxious, some bold.On the author’s land, there are three oak trees growing close together.One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others.Since they all experience the same temperature, the same soil and the same length of day, such variables can’t be the explanation.So what’s happening?Well, this tree is simplymore careful than the others.Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis(光合作用) and store more nutrients.However, the longer a tree keeps its leaves, the higher the risk of injury.Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes.A tree, for example,keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again.This leads to several other conclusions:trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their ex periences somewhere.Obviously, trees don’t have brains, but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences.But trees aren’t only clever when it comes to caring for themselves.They al so support each other whenever there’s trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics(同种个体) with nutrients.For example, one time the author found a very old tree stump.Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil.But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living.How was this possible?Well, the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system, and had been for at least 400 years!Why do trees do such a thing?It’s simple: it’s better together.Trees need the forest; it protects them from storms, provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks.8.Why does the author mention the three oak trees?A.To illustrate trees can learn from experiences.B.To show trees can make independent decisions.C.To explain trees are quite supportive to each other.D.To prove trees have the same personalities as humans.9.According to the text, which of the following best describes general features of trees?A.Anxious and bold.B.Smart and adventurous.C.Helpful and well-behaved.D.Adaptable and supportive.10.What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing” mean?A.Give warnings. B.Offer assistance.C.Depend on others. D.Provide nutrients.11.Where does this text most probably come from?A.A public lecture. B.A science book.C.An experiment report. D.A travel journal.DA new study shows that rising levels of planet-warming gases may reduce important nutrients(营养物) in food crops.Researchers studied the effects of carbon dioxide on rice. In the experiment, scientists grew 18 kinds of rice in fields in China and Japan. They set carbon dioxide levels to what scientists are predicting for our planet by the end of the century. Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had, on average, 13 to 30 percent lower levels of four B vitamins and 10 percent less protein(蛋白质). The crops also had 8 percent less iron and 5 percent less zinc than rice grown under normal conditions. However, Vitamin E levels increased by about 13 percent on average.The researchers said the effects of planet-warming gases would be most severe for the poorest citizens in some of the least developed countries. These people generally eat the most rice and have the least complex diets. That includes about 600 million people in Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Laos and other nations, mainly in Southeast Asia.Other studies have shown that higher temperatures from climate change and weather extremes will reduce food production. And scientists are finding that rising levels of carbon dioxide and other planet-warming gases threaten food quality.Earlier studies showed that wheat, rice, field peas and soybeans grown under high carbon dioxide conditions all had lower levels of protein and minerals. Scientists predicted that almost 150 million people might be at risk of having too little protein or zin c in their diet by 2050.The new study suggests a way to lower the nutritional harm of climate change. That is to grow different forms of rice that can adapt to higher carbon dioxide levels.12.Growing rice under high carbon dioxide conditions may ________.A.increase iron in the riceB.make it less nutritiousC.cause losses of Vitamin ED.make it more delicious13.How can people reduce the nutritional harm of climate change?A.By importing rice from China and Japan.B.By taking other kinds of food instead of rice.C.By avoiding eating rice from Southeast Asia.D.By growing rice suitable for the environment.14.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?A.To inform readers what nutrients food crops contain.B.To call on people to care for the planet they live on.C.To share the results of some studies on people’s diets.D.To tell readers where food crops are mainly produced.15.In which part of a magazine can you read the text?A.Advertisements. B.Art and culture.C.Science reports. D.Business news.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。

ACrazyCreative Traditions in Schools[2020·湖北八校3月联考] Here are a few schools' crazycreative traditions that will probably have you wish to go there so you could celebrate in all the graduation fun. Learn about them all in the below.Attire(服装) and Flowers at College of CharlestonYou fashionista will love this one. During the December ceremony, women wear black dresses and men wear black tuxedos(无尾礼服). During the May ceremony, women wear white dresses and men wear summer tuxedos. It's also been a tradition since the 1930s to carry flowers onto the stage:women carry bouquets of six red roses in a red bow and men wear a single red rose boutonniere(胸花). So classy!Hoop Rolling at Wellesley CollegeThis allwomen's college tradition was originally held on May Day, but it's now held in April. The purpose was to allow students to essentially leave all their worries behind and just participate in some fun games outdoors. Back in the day, it was said that the winner of the hoop rolling race was the first to be married, and in the 1980s she would be the first to be a CEO. Nowadays, the winner would be the first to achieve her own happiness... that is, after being thrown into Lake Waban by all her classmates.Fabric and Green Grad Recycling Program at the University of New HampshireYou'll absolutely love this tradition. UNH's vendor provides wrinkleresistant caps and gowns made of recycled plastic bottles. Graduates then have the opportunity to donate their gowns to be cleaned and reused. Graduates are still able to keep their caps and tassels as keepsakes, all while helping to save the environment.1.If you want to participate in the December ceremony, you can choose ________.A.College of Charleston B.Wellesley CollegeC.University of New Hampshire D.Oxford University2.Hoop Rolling at Wellesley College is aimed at enabling the students to ________.A.be a CEO B.have funC.achieve happiness D.be married3.What are UNH's caps and gowns made of?A.Flowers. B.Silk and cotton.C.Leather. D.Recycled plastic bottles.B[2020·海南五校一模] A newly married woman called Gilleece, saying she lost her wallet at his bar with her wedding ring inside. Gilleece looked through camera videos, watching the woman's every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Then a young man approached the bench and put something in his pocket. Gilleece posted several pictures on the bar's Facebook page, asking if anybody knew the guy.Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17yearold Prather. Prather admitted having taken the wallet because he hadn't eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but just took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks(码头) into the ocean.Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teen to meet him at the bar. There, Prather said that, not getting along with his family, he had been living in the woods for a week. Gilleece saw him as a kid rather than a criminal. But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could face prison. Gilleece planned to employ two divers to search for it.

Finally a diver appeared with the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers burst from the crowd. The wallet's owner immediately dropped the charges against Prather. But troubled by Prather sleeping in the cold woods, Gilleece told the teen he could stay with him and his family until he stood on his own feet.

Imagine telling someone you meet today what you're going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn't it feel good to say it out loud? Don't you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you'd actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges(承认) it, psychologists have found it's called a “social_reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into a feeling that it's already done. And then, because you've felt that satisfaction,you're less motivated to do the actual and necessary hard work. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a professor of psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this:163 people across four separate tests-everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(承诺) to this goal to the room, and half didn't. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Finally those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and whenasked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.8.What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Completion of the goal. B.Necessary hard work.C.People's acknowledgement. D.A sense of satisfaction.9.What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?A.Writing down the goal is very helpful.B.Achieving personal goal needs more time.C.Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.D.Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.10.How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people's goal?A.By giving figures. B.By giving examples.C.By making a survey. D.By making comparison tests.11.What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?A.You will be more confident. B.You will not gain satisfaction.C.You are less likely to realize it. D.You'll be much more motivated.D[2020·福州市质量抽测] A walk through the galleries of Quebec's Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) places individuals facetoface with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics to Inuit sculpture.While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience, a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe(开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.“We know that art contributes to neural(神经的) activity,” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil. “What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your wellbeing.”Hélène Boyer, vice president of a Montrealbased medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter(神经递质) known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood.According to Boyer, the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise, making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activityThe museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods. As Bondil notes, spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction. “What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain,” she says. “When you enter the museum, you escape from the speed of our daily life.”“I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century,” said Bondil “Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”12.What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits?A.They can cheer people up.B.They can reduce physical activity.C.They can slow down our life pace.D.They can increase levels of art appreciation. 13.How do museum visits affect people?A.Stop them concentrating on pain.B.Stop them focusing on traditional methods.C.Encourage them not to be absentminded.D.Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.14.What does the last paragraph suggest?A.Physical activity was popular in the 19th century.B.Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.C.Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.D.Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.15.What is the main idea of the text?A.Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.B.The happy chemical helps to lift the mood.C.Peaceful environment helps escape pain.D.Cultural activities will promote health.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

Reader’s digest.BWhen I watched the film “The Farewell” recently, I found it not only reminded me of my own family’s great lie, but it also reopened old wounds.Its main characters tell lies that flow from their mouths smoothly. Billi, a Chinese-American artist in New York, and her grandmother in China, tell lies to each other on the phone. Billi, in cold wind, tells her grandma that she’s wearing a hat. She’s not. Her grandma says she’s visiting her s ister, while she’s actually ill in hospital. They’re lying to avoid worrying each other, but in fact the grandma has lung cancer. The family know it but won’t tell her for fear that anxiety over the diagnosis (诊断) could kill her before the cancer.When I was a teenager girl, my parents, both immigrants, got divorced. We never had a discussion about how things would change. We didn’t tell anyone. Instead, we pretended as if nothing had happened. My father did not run away; he slept in a separate room. In the presence of s, we acted as a close family. I was puzzled why we insisted on creating the illusion(假象) that everything was O.K..I asked a professor of multicultural psychology. “Asians tend to have indirect communication,” he said, “In indirect communication, what’s not said is more important than what is said. Eastern philosophy emphasizes balance and harmony, and indirect communication minimizes conflict. So some Asian cultures value the ability to understand indirect messages.”In the film, the family members show their love for grandma by keeping secret about her condition. Similarly, perhaps my parents intended to save face and preserve harmony. As an Asian-American, maybe all I’ll ever have is a secondhand understanding, and that’s the best I can do.4. Why does Billi’s grandma tell lies to her according to Paragraph 2?A. Because she’s afraid of the diagnosis.B. Because she knows she has lung cancer.C. Because she doesn’t want Billi to worry.D. Because she has been used to telling lies.5. What d id the author’s parents do after they got divorced?A. They left their home.B. They kept secret in public.C. They had a discussion.D. They asked s for help.6. How did the author feel about her parents’ behavior when she was a teenager?A. Confused.B. Skeptical.C. Unconcerned.D. Annoyed.7. According to the psychology professor what do Asian cultures attach importance to?A. Severe conflicts.B. Ability of showing love.C. Balance and harmony.D. Direct communication.CSleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person's wellbeing. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person's risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (being very overweight), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worm devices, which track a person's physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement.While Gross's data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the course's 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it's the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as ahigher-performing student. "When you go to bed matters," Gross says, "If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn't everything."Perhaps the most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students' grades. The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes.Who knew getting A's just required some extra ZZZ's?8. Based on his original objectives, which best describes Professor Gross's research findings?A Accidental. B. Complete. C. Convincing. D. Doubtful.9. Who were the people taking part in the study?A. Middle school chemistry students.B. V olunteers from different universities.C. Professor Gross's own students.D. University student athletes.10. How did Professor Gross's team measure academic performance?A. Making the students wear a special watch.B. Using students' university entrance test results.C. Giving the students regular after class quizzes.D. Using the students' normal test and quiz grades.11. Based on the study's findings, who is likely to perform best academically.A. A person who has a good night's sleep the night before an important test.B. A person whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p.m. and 12 p.m.C. A person who sleeps from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day.D. A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.DCan I talk about salary at work? In a word:yes.As HR company Insperity put it in a recent blog post:Can your employees discuss their salaries or wages with their co-workers? Yes.Even if you have a company policy against it? Yes.The freedom to discuss your salary at work is a protected right under federal labor law.TheNational Labor Relations Act of 1935 protects your right to discuss the conditions of your employment,including issues related to safety and pay,even when you're not protected by a union.Talking about salary with colleagues can be uncomfortable,since there's such a taboo about discussing money matters,but it's an important step towards achieving equal pay for equal work.One barrier,however,stems from how we think of our own financial worth.Too many people I talk to wrongly consider their salary a reflection of their worthiness,a statement about their skills,experience,or value.At the end of the day,if we can all separate our self-worth from our salaries a bit more,it'll become easier to talk frankly with our colleagues.Asking about money outright can be tough,so one trick I've picked up along the way is to ask for your colleagues to confirm or deny.For instance,you might volunteer your salary first and ask “Does that sound about right to you?”by way of comparison.Or,let's say you're interviewing for a promotion to become a manager.You might ask a fellow manager about the kind of salary you should expect by saying,“I'm seeing salaries for this kind of position ranging from $65,000 to$70,000—does that seem accurate to you?”This way,even if your colleague isn't comfortable sharing their salary outright,they can help you identify if your expectations are on point or way off.12. What makes co-workers uncomfortable to talk about salaries?A. The safety issue.B. The federal 1abor law.C. The wrong idea about salaries.D. The reflection of their worthiness.13. What does“taboo”underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. A prohibited practice.B. A religious belief.C. A general agreement.D. A social custom.14. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?A. One of my interview experiences.B. My way of asking about money.C. The method of raising questions.D. An example of getting promoted.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. How to Discuss Salaries at WorkB. Ways of Talking about SalariesC. Do Salaries Stand for Self-worth?D. Can Salaries be Talked about at Work?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。

Both are attentive, determined, sociable and computer-savvy. Yet once the school bell rings, the differences between the two college-bound students' experiences are striking.Carol's school in China is sharply focused on math and science. In one day she takes math, two physics classes and three chemistry classes. In Emily’s school in Maryland, interest in these subjects is dwindling(变小).Much of Emily's school time is active—oral exams, lab work and yearbook. In China, Carol's teachers deliver rote lectures, a style known as tianya, the Chinese word for force-feeding a duck. Emily leaves the classroom for field hockey practice at 2: 10 p. m. , while Carol sits at her desk for another two hours, interrupted only by a class in physical education. But at the end of the day, which student is smarter? Which system will produce the most successful generation of young adults?The answers are debatable (有争议的) , but there is no denying Chinese motivation in the fields of math and science. In China, almost 40 percent of students study engineering, and more are entering the field. By contrast, only about 5 percent ofAmerican students currently major in engineering and those numbers have been on the decline for the last 15 years.“I think that science education has sort of been spinning its wheels in America,”said Howard Putterman, a biology teacher at QuinceOrchardHigh School, Emily's school.I have at least 15 to 20 kids a year who flat out tell me,‘science isn't my thing.I don't like it. I'm not good at it.’”Soon Carol and Emily will be going to college. Carol wants to study biology; Emily wants to play field hockey, and perhaps major in business or design.“American kids are more independent than Chinese kids,” said Carol’s father. They have their own opinion, and they're quicker to adapt to society when t hey grow up.”60. Compared with Emily Ellenberger, Carol Wang is ________ .A. more attentiveB. less determinedC. more ableD. less active61. The underlined part“spinning its wheels”in Paragraph 5 means ________ .A. making great progressB. making useless effortsC. moving the cars' wheelsD. having great development62. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. More and more Chinese students study engineering.B. Emily is far smarter than Carol in the future.C. Carol's and Emily's fathers are living in China.D. It's difficult to find a job as an engineer in China.63. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Carol and Emily Working Hard for CollegeB. East Meets West in the ClassroomC. Different Systems Have Same ResultsD. Carol and Emily Study Far ApartCMany people have described the Internet as a huge public library; a library open to anyone, twenty-four hours a day and with more information than any other library that has ever existed. But this analogy (类比) is incorrect. Libraries are organized so that information is easy to find, with uniform, centralized systems and ever-helpful librarians. The Internet is a different story. Where do you start when you are trying to find specific information about a specialist interest or one particular piece of data for some academic research?One good place to start is by clicking onto a site like www. intute. . Subjects on Intute are initially categorised into four main topic areas: Science & Technology, Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences and Health &Life Sciences. Once you have selected the most appropriate topic area you can move nearer to your specialist subject through further subheadings (副标题)or by using a search box.Intute is not the only site of this kind. At www. scholar. google. com you can find academic literature on a wide range of subjects including theses, books and abstracts. www. scirus. com is a science specific search engine which scans more than 450 million science web sites enabling you to quickly find the most recently published reports and data with the minimum of effort.Another tip for finding information on the internet is by working out the name of an existing web site, If you don't know the name of the site, you can often work it out using this formula:www. name of organisation. domain. For example, www. . If you are right—all well and good; if you are wrong—then the internet will offer alterative suggestions. The main domain types are:edu-educational institution in the USAac. uk-educational institution in the UKcom-commercial or personalnet-internet infrastructuregov-government agencyorg-non-profit organisationsmil-military institutions64. What's the main idea of the paragraph I?A. The Internet has more information than library.B. The Internet is considered a huge public library.C. The difference between the Internet and library.D. Some wrong ideas about the Internet.65. If you want to find some information about academic literature, you will click onto ________ .A. www. intute. ac. uk.B. www. scholar. google. comC,.D. www. org. com66. The passage may be taken from ________.A. a magazineB. a websiteC. a newspaperD. a guide book67. Which is true according to the passage?A. Internet is the only site the specialist subject.B. Internet has information that library doesn't have.C. You can't get information unless you know the name of the site.D. Three ways at most are advised to surf the specialist subjects.DFive dollars unexpected reward for a courtesy in the grocery line, not much you mightsay, but I would beg to differ. When Richard and I were at the grocery store, a young girl was in line, behind three others, yet in front of us. She had half a basket of different items, to include three packages of hot dogs.This young girl looked back at us, saw that we had only two items, immediately she pulled her basket out of line and told Richard to go in front, of course. We both immediately told her we were in no hurry, and let her go ahead. As if we had not spoken, she continued to move her basket, now to refuse someone the blessing of giving is wrong thus, we walked in front to the counter.A thought of gratefulness hit me. I reached into my purse, pulled out five dollars, leaned in toward the checker, whispered,“Deduct(扣除) the five from her purchase.” We quickly came out of the store and left. That five dollars was not enough to cover her entire grocery bill, it was not intended to do such, only as a response to give my personal thanks for an act of common good manners.It is not important who did what or for how much. I know that I should bless someone else, as well as receive his or her blessing in return.68. We can replace the underlined word“courtesy”in the first paragraph with .A. polite behaviorB. great achievementC. special experienceD. long waiting69. How many people are waiting for pay for in the grocery?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.70. From the second paragraph, we can infer that the author and Richard ________ .A. bought more items than the young girlB. refused the young girl's offer politelyC. took the young girl's offer for grantedD. accepted the young girl's offer unwillingly71. According to the passage, the author gave the young girl five dollars because ________ .A. the young girl couldn't afford her itemsB. the author intended to show his generosityC. the author wanted to express his appreciationD. the young girl asked him to help her outEI am honored to be with you today at one of the finest universities in the world.I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation.I was lucky—I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We had just released our finest creation—the Macintosh—a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors(董事会) sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was depressing.During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple’s current renaissance(复兴). And Laurence and I have a wonderful family together.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I’m convi nced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.72.
