AMovies to Enjoy“Eating Animals”The 2018 documentary “Eating Animals ”，based on the book by Jonathan Safran Foer published in 2009, tells us that factory farming is bad, and that most Americans don't realize just how bad. Still, this isn't a feel-guilty film. There’s plenty of hope as director Christopher Quinn shows farmers who are still using practices that do not, for example , force chickens to live their short lives in a dark building while covered in their own poop（大便）. Will the film cause you to go vegan（素食者）？ Eh, burgers are really tasty. But it will make you think about what it is that you're putting in your mouth and maybe inspire you to head for the farmers' market to see what a chicken that lived a happy life tastes like.Landmark E Street Cinema? 555 11th St.NW, Washington, D.

Md.BAfter my girlfriend, Liz, and I had dated for about a year, and a few years before we got married, she joined me, my parents and my sister's family on a ski trip in Stowe, Vermont. I was in my late 30s, it was the first family vacation I'd been on in years, and it was the first such holiday Liz had ever taken with my relatives.But a ski vacation is only as good as the ski conditions, and that January was spring-like. To make matters worse, our rented cabin was close to the ski hills but far from anything else. There was no Internet, and the only entertainment was a few board games and a single television.For a couple of days, while we waited for the snow to fall, we watched endless hours of CNN (mom's choice) and SpongeBob SquarePants (my six-year-old niece's), played Scrabble and drank. Cabin fever set in quickly. At one point, my mom literally fought my niece for the remote control, even sitting on her to wrest it from her hands. My brother-in-law was downing a bottle of port and a bottle of white wine nightly. Amazed, but also alarmed, Liz confronted me in our bedroom：“What is wrong with your family?” I remember well her crazed laughter as she said it.Then it snowed, but only at the top of the mountain—a very tall and fearsome peak. We scrambled, drove to the lift, and took it up. But as we climbed higher into quiet, dense cloud, Liz began to look unusual. When I asked her what was wrong, she revealed that she had only ever been on a bunny hill. When she said that, she took hold of my arm tightly. “A bunny hill!” The lift let us off at the summit of a double- black-diamond ski run in the middle of a snowstorm.My family, with nary a look back, disappeared down the hill. Liz got off the lift, just barely, and then, two falls later, took off her skis and promptly got back on the lift, taking it back down to the lodge and the relative safety of a large glass of wine.Did I say it was her fist vacation with my family? It was also her last.24. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A. It was the first time for Liz to attend the family vacation.B. The ski conditions were very good when they reached Stowe.C. Maybe it was a bit warm in that January.D. The author's mother abused his niece for a remote control.25. What's the meaning of the sentence underlined in the third paragraph?A. Someone got a high fever in the cabin in no time.B. They felt bored and restless for staying in the cabin.C. They made the cabin warm enough.D. The life in the cabin was alive and interesting.26. Why did Liz look unusual when they climbed higher to go skiing?A. Because she was too excited to ski.B. Because the peak was too fearsome for her.C. Because the author's family didn't care for her.D. Because she felt nervous and frightened.27. What can we infer from the article?A. The author's brother-in-law was fed up with the wine.B. Liz's skiing experience was limited.C. Liz went down to the hill without trying skiing.D. The author and Liz broke up after that family vacation.CMany people think of narcissism （自恋）as a kind of personality traits （特质）， usually with a derogatory （贬义的）sense , but it can also be a confident positive attitude. Some studies, published in 2004 in the journal Personality Processes and Individual Differences, looked at some benefits of narcissism. Hundreds of people participated. Results showed that narcissists tended to be less depressed, lonely and anxious, and reported greater well-being than people who scored low on narcissism. High narcissists may be socially unconcerned, but that is no reason for them not to be psychologically healthy. To use a far-fetched （牵强的）metaphor, the mind of a narcissist is like an SUV. It is great to be in the driving seat, but other drivers must be careful not to hit it.A 2010 study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences,found that female college students who were slightly narcissistic were less worried about having their bodies on view while exercising in public spaces than students who weren't narcissistic.A 2012 study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, showed that narcissism was more beneficial to younger people. For the study, 368 college students and 439 of their family members filled out surveys on narcissism, life satisfaction, and personality traits. “Our findings suggest that the link between narcissism and life satisfaction is greater for adolescents and young adults than for adults,” the authors wrote. Specifically, participants who were younger than 26 and displayed certain types of narcissism reported higher life satisfaction and well-being.Narcissists tend to make great first impressions, but those positive impressions change quickly. Two studies published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology, found that narcissistic college students were at first treated as agreeable and well-adjusted by their peers, but interestingly, after a few weeks, those impressions became more negative: Narcissists were treated as less agreeable and well adjusted than other students.Leaders are often narcissists according to some studies, because to lead a company, you have to be confident in your decision-making skills. These decisions also need to be smart and creative, especially in our current world where there are a million different companies producing a million different ideas. A good leader with somewhat narcissistic tendencies can help his company or organization stand out from the crowd.28. According to the passage, narcissistic people can sometimes be ___________ .A. more willing to drive an SUVB. more willing to be alone than other peopleC. physically healthier than other peopleD. psychologically healthier than other people29.During exercise female narcissistic college students might __________ .A. worry about their figuresB. care about other students' figuresC. not attend sports activitiesD. not care what other students think30. According to the 2012 study, the narcissistic adolescents and young adults tend toA. be more satisfied with life than their less narcissistic peersB. be more difficult for their peers to get along withC. have bad relationships with family membersD. have less chance to get life satisfaction than adults31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Narcissism is seen as an important element of a healthy mind.B. Proper narcissism is good for personal development.C. Proper narcissism seems to protect against social anxiety.D. Narcissism makes people less dependent on relationships with others.DHollywood superheroes are muscling in on the Indian box office, the world's biggest by tickets sold, helping US studios encroach（进入）on Bollywood（宝莱坞）'s local dominance.Fourth-quarter ticket sales for US films in India were up 114 per cent on a year earlier while Bollywood's box office take rose only 34 per cent, according to brokerage Emkay.American films have long struggled to make a splash in India, where Mumbai- based Bollywood and other regional film industries pump out more than 1,000 films a year. But the rise of franchises （特许经营）such as Walt Disney-owned Marvel's Avengers or Warner Bros subsidiary DC's Batman has ushered in a boom in audiences for big-budget Hollywood productions.Hollywood films took 10 per cent of India's box office in 2018, up from just 3 per cent a decade earlier, according to EY’s most recent figures. That share is expected to have risen in 2019 thanks to Avengers: End game, among the country's highest-ever grossing films. “Hollywood is taking India very seriously because it's too big,” said GV Giri, head of research at brokerage IIFL. There’s “a greater eagerness of big franchises to lock up deals in India and have more publicity, more campaigns. ”India's young population, rising incomes and the spread of multiplex chains have encouraged US studios to invest more in the market. Studios such as Paramount and Universal now dub their films not only into Hindi but to other regional languages such as Tamil. Lionsgate, which is behind franchises such as The Hunger Games, has followed US rivals in opening an office in India.But industry analysts said that apart from superhero smashes and select animations such as Disney's Lion King remake , other genres（风格）of American film still struggled. For drama and comedy, Indian audiences prefer local productions with familiar stars and themes.Despite the boom in ticket sales, incomes for Hollywood's biggest releases remain tiny in India compared with the US or neighbouring China, where the latest Avengers instalment raked in roughly 10 times more.The average ticket price at an Indian single-screen theatre in 2018 was $ 0. 70, against almost $ 10 in the US. Tickets in China typically cost about $ 5— $ 6.The larger opportunity for the US studios lies in using the popularity of their films for other areas of commerce such as merchandise sales, according to Rakesh Jariwala, media and entertainment partner at EY in Mumbai.Indian studios have also fought off encroaching Hollywood heavyweights with a flurry of their own epic blockbusters. The 2017 sequel to the historical battle movie Baahubali, for example, became one of the highest grossing Indian films of all time.Given India's young population , Mr Giri expects the focus on action and special effects to pay off for both local and international studios.“When I was a kid I couldn't get more than one movie a decade on Superman ,he said. “This would have been a dream, today's kids have it all laid out for them. ”32. Which country is the world's biggest box office by selling tickets according to the article?A. The USA.B. China.C. India.D. Russia.33. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The Bollywood's tickets sales increased more quickly than the Hollywood's in the fourth quarter.B. All American heavyweights are welcome in Indian.C. Merchandise sales are also a purpose of American films entering the Indian film market.D. The incomes of the Hollywood occupy the most of the share of the Indian.34. What did Indian studios do to beat back the Hollywood films?A. They pump out more than 1,000 films a year.B. They created their own epic blockbusters.C. They added a lot of action and special effects in their films.D. They sold the tickets at a low price.35. Which of the following can be the best title?A. Hollywood blockbusters break into IndiaB. The most profitable film marketC. Fight off Hollywood blockbustersD. Who wins, Hollywood or Bollywood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。

He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him. "Why not write to other people who need encouragement?"He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, "Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered."Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.The letter said, "Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces!"No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.56. Before the man had the accident, he ________.A. had toured around the worldB. had visited local prisonsC. had tried doing exercise to recover himselfD. had been friends with the prison minister57. In order to live in a meaningful way, the man began to ________.A. receive the school educationB. write to other people who needs encouragementC. meet the people who are depressedD. help other people lost arms and legs58. According to the prison minister, ________.A. the man was not allowed to write to the prisonersB. the man couldn’t go to see the prisoners himselfC. the prisoners were not allowed to answer the lettersD. he was not sure if the prisoners liked receiving the letters59. From the officer’s short note we are told that ________.A. the man would be offered free paper to write letters onB. some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his lettersC. the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the manD. his letters were very popular among the prisoners60. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stories about a humorous PersonB. Popularity of Special LettersC. Special letters of EncouragementD. Relationship between writers and prisonersBNew technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It's now a "global village" where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communication equipment is greatly improved by foreign language skills.Deeply involved with this new technology is a kind of modem businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support home business efforts.Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks (管理层). The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being "out of sight and out of mind." He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company's plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more popular.Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communication devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn't generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.The employee posted abroad who speaks the country's official language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign partners over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset（资产）to the firm.61. What is the author's attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?A. Negative.B. Positive.C. Prejudiced.D. discontented.62. With the increased use of high-tech communication equipment, business people ________.A. are eager to work overseasB. have to get familiar with modem technologyC. are attaching more importance to their overseas businessesD. are gaining more economic benefits from domestic businesses63. In paragraph 3, "out of sight and out of mind" (Line 2-3) probably means ________.A. leaving all care and worry behindB. being totally out of touch with business at homeC. being unable to think properly for lack of insightD. missing opportunities for promotion when abroad64. According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations inemploying people today?A. Ability to speak the customer's language.B. Connections with businesses over seasC. Technical know-how.D. Business experience.65. The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can _________.A. fast-forward their proposals to their bosses.B. better control the whole negotiation processC. easily make friends with business people abroadD. easily find new approaches to meet market needsCBeer and fried chicken — Thanks to a South orean drama currently on air, Man From the Stars, this new mix-and-match junk food trend has become popular among young audiences, despite its unhealthy nature. Indeed, South orean TV dramas, or -drama for short, have been a major force in the South orean pop-culture wave that has captured the hearts of young Chinese audiences. According to iQiyi, a video website that features Man From the Stars, by Feb 15, the number of views for the TV drama hit 370 million in China.“It is interesting to explore what elements of those dramas appeal to audiences. It’s obviously more than just pretty faces,” says Yan Feng, a professor of Chine se literature at Fudan University. Reflected by audiences, culture critics and insiders of the industry, youth fantasy, creative storylines, cultural proximity, and well-organized production all add up to -drama’s success, along with, of course, those hand some and cute faces dressed in the latest fashion trends.“Everyone fancies a perfect partner, handsome or beautiful,” says hou Ying, a professor at Chongqing Technology and Business University. “The South orean TV industry is feeding this need.” After Lee Min-ho appeared on CCTV’s annual Spring Festival gala, he became the most famous South orean in China. Only weeks later, im Soo-hyun, lead actor in Man From the Stars, swept the country. Apart from pretty faces, fashion is another highlight of the series. Each time actors from the series wear a new set of outfits, similar clothes experience a sales boom online, according to iao Yi, a Taobao store owner.As is known, with love triangles, incurable diseases, and Cinderella tales, storylines in South orean dramas may seem a bit commonplace. While The Man From the Stars challenges this by putting aliens and time travel into these existing stories, Peng Sanyuan, a screenwriter, says a focus on detail is a key factor in the success of these dramas. “In order to a ccurately target audiences and find emotional reflections with them, more and more female writers are working in the industry,” says Peng about her experience of exchanging ideas with South orean colleagues. According the experts, South orean writers somehow make sense of these plots, no matter how unlikely it seems.66. Why has beer and fried chicken become so popular among Chinese young people at present?A. Because the food tastes very great.B. Because they want to change the trend.C. Because the food is good for their health.D. Because they are deeply affected by the orean TV drama.67. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “proximity” in paragraph 2?A. similarityB. differenceC. conflictD. curiosity68. According to the whole passage, how many elements can lead to the appeal of orean dramas?A. TwoB. FourC. SixD. Seven69. After reading the third paragraph, which of the following is right?A. Lee Min-ho is the lead actor in Man From the Stars.B. im Soo-hyun appeared on CCTV’s annual Spring Festival galaC. The similar clothes worn by the orean actors become very hot online.D. Everyone has a perfect partner, who is handsome or beautiful.70. What makes Man From the Stars different from other -dramas according to the last paragraph?A. Female writersB. Creative storiesC. Pretty facesD. Fashionable clothesPART ⅣWRITING (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Scientists, doctors and mental health professionals have been studying the connection between color and mood for years. Many now believe that colors can not only cause emotional reactions, but can also correct mood. Colors behave in three basic ways active, passive and neutral (中和的).Active colors are warm colors, including yellow, orange and red. These colors bring confidence. Warm colors can also bring cheerful attitudes. Yellows and golden colors work well in offices, kitchens and study areas. Reds heat up a room. Passive colors or cool colors make people calm, quiet and satisfied. Bedrooms, private areas and bathrooms are great places for blues and greens. Beige, gray and white are thought of as neutral colors. They help to put the focus on other colors or serve to tone down (使柔和) colors that might otherwise be overpowering on their own.You can easily change the look or feel of a room by making good use of different colors. Mixing and matching colors is an excellent way to balance color and emotion, and provide a welcoming feel for guests.To create a feeling of warmth and comfort in a room, use bright, warm colors like yellow, orange and red. These colors are good choices for rooms that appear cool due to limited sunlight. Yellow adds cheerfulness to dull rooms. You can add yellows to rooms which are not closely related to happy thoughts, such as kitchens and laundry room. In rooms where there’s plenty of sunshine, cool colors can provide a calming environment. Sage greens and sky blues are perfect for bedrooms, playrooms and activity areas. Neutral colors, such as pale gray, white and beige, send a peaceful message to your brain. It’s not a coincidence that most doctor’s offices, coffee shops and mental health centers are decorated in neutrals.To make your wall color choices better, pick out furniture that will provide a visual contrast. Cool colors make a room seem larger than it is and warm colors make rooms feel smaller.Title The Connection Between 71.____________Section B (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Most American school have boys and girls in the same classroom. But a public high school in the small, rural town of Boonsboro, Maryland, offers a special program. Top students in the ninth and tenth grades can attend single-sex classes for math, science, English and social studies.The aim is to help teenagers keep their minds on their work by keeping males and females apart. Rebecca Brown chooses the students for what Boonsboro High School calls the Academy.Placement in the Academy is voluntary.Students are invited after middle school. They need high marks and test scores and strong teacher recommendations. They also need to be involved in activities.Michael Bair has been at Boonsboro High for twenty years and directs the Academy. His ninth-grade English class for boys centres on books that he believes boys find interesting. He says, “The novels they're reading now are very manly novels. They're novels that deal with the arrogance（傲慢）of man and the pride of man.”Morgan Van Fleet is a senior at Boonsboro High. She likes being in the Academy. She says boys and girls act differently when they are together in the classroom. She says, “To me, it almost seems like preventing your c hances of developing yourself because you’re more focused on ‘Oh, I wish they'd shut up. Oh, what do they think of me?’, instead of focusing on ‘What's the homework? What's going on in this class? Or what's the lesson?''' There is one activity that girls and boys in the Academy do together. At the end of the day, many of them stay and help tutor（辅导）students who are having trouble in school.81.

2020-2021学年长沙市雅礼中学高三英语月考试题及参考答案
2020-2021学年长沙市雅礼中学高三英语月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ASome of the world’s most talented musicians have played concerts atLincolnCenter. On September 10, the center hosted a unique class of star musicians: kids and teens. The young players are part of the World Peace Orchestra, or WPO. The group held its first Music for Peace concert inNew York City, with 134 students from more than 60 countries taking part. Musicians were chosen from all over the world.The World Peace Orchestra began in 2013. The nonprofit group brings kids together using the common language of music. To be considered for the orchestra, students first had to be recommended by their teachers and then audition online for a group of judges. Once chosen, professional musicians and teachers then worked with the players to improve their skills.Some of the young musicians played classical instruments, such as violins and flutes. Others played instruments unique to their home country. For example, Amold Mugo, 16, fromKenya, played an instrument called the djembe. The drum is originally fromWest Africa. Mugo said he was shocked when he learned he was chosen for the orchestra. “I can’t express how I felt. I was rolling on the floor. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he said.Adomas Hendrixson, 13, fromLithuania, played piano for the WPO. Before theNew York Cityperformance, Hendrixson talked about what he hoped to take away from the event. “Fun and joy-- people smiling and clapping,” he said.“This is one of the only times in your life this could happen and I'm very excited.”Mugo says his favorite part of the WPO is making new friends from around the world. “I hope when I go home, I just take a little bit of every friend that I made here-- Brazil, Portugal, Queens,” Mugo said, “I hope that I take part of their culture home with me so I understand them more.”1. Who is most likely to have played for the WPO according to this passage?A. Li Ming, 16, a student fromChina.B. Daniel, 44, a judge fromAmerica.C. Edward, 21, a clerk fromAustralia.D. Catherine, 32, a teacher fromEngland.2. We can learn from the last paragraph that Mugo ________.A.performed best for the WPO.B. has learned some foreign culture.C. was eager to be chosen for a second time.D. received a great award for his performance.3. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Kids were good at playing music.B. Mugo liked making foreign friends.C. Concerts were played atLincolncentre.D. Young musicians played for peace.BIn a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects — but that doesn't mean everybody is willing to do it.The majority of respondents (受访者) said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment (65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%). Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy. In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing - even more so than getting fresh air (61%).But that's not the only reason people clean. A big 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator (拖延者) using that trick four times a week. The survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their housework, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That's no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, the survey investigated people's attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task. More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20% saying “always” letting them be placed in the sink, which left them feeling stressed. More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,”“Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favorite tunes on America's cleaning playlist.4. What is the result of the survey?A. Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent.B. Housecleaning may strengthen people's willingness to volunteer.C. Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people.D. Housecleaning may improve people's motivation to other housework.5. What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning?A. They can entertain themselves.B. They can take in fresh air.C. They get a sense of achievement.D. They can delay other things.6. What are respondents' attitudes to dirty dishes?A. Many would rather wash dishes than throw out the rubbish.B. Half are under pressure with dirty dishes lying in the sink.C. A quarter will let dirty dishes pile up after their meals.D. Most prefer cleaning their toiletto washing dishes by hand.7. What column does the text belong to?A. Feature Story.B. Family Life.C. Scientific Hotspot.D. Finance Focus.CAbout a billion birds die from flying into buildings each year inNorth America. Suspicions havebeen that birds may regard the open areas behind glass as safe passageways. Or they may mistake the reflected trees for the real thing.Researchers would like to reduce collisions, which requires a solid understanding about what makes a bird more or less likely to die by crashing into a building in the first place.“There was ly little known at a broad scale. Previous studies were at one small study site.'' Jared Elmore, a graduate student in natural resource ecology and management atOklahomaStateUniversity. So he and his colleagues used a previously created data set of building collisions for birds at 40 sites throughoutMexico,Canadaand theU.S.The first finding was obvious: bigger buildings with more glass kill more birds. But the details were more remarkable. "We found that life history predicted collisions. Migrants(候鸟), insect-eaters and woodland-inhabiting species collided more than their counterparts(同类).”Most migratory species travel at night, when lights near buildings can distract or disorient(使迷失方向)them. And Elmore thinks that insect-eating birds might be attracted to buildings because their insect prey(猎物)is attracted to the lights. He suspects that woodland species get tooled by the reflections of trees and bushes in the windows. The results are in the journal Conservation Biology.By understanding which birds are more likely to collide with buildings, researchers can perhaps determine the best way to adapt buildings, or their lighting, to help prevent such accidents. And by knowing risks, along with migration timing and behavior, building managers can better predict when birds are at their greatest danger - and improve lighting strategics accordingly.Elmore's next project will use radar to help predict bird migrations. " I think that would maybe go a long way in terms of providing information to people, to the public, to building managers, on when they can get the most benefit in terms of lights-out policies."8. What is the possible reason for birds' crashing into buildings?A. They didn't see the buildings.B. They took reflections for reality.C. They assumed the windows to be open.D. They considered buildings as safe routes.9. What is Jared Elmore's study different from the previous ones?A. It created a new data set.B. It went beyond national borders.C. It covered a wider range of sites.D. I’ll studied some specific bird species.10. What was the most noticeable finding of Jared Elmore's study?A. Migratory species travel at night.B. Birds tend to be misled by glasses.C. Bigger buildings cause more collisions.D. Birds living habits give rise to collisions.11. Which of the following can help reduce bird collision?A. Adjust the lightening system.B. Attach radars to each building.C. Adopt strict lights-out policies.D. Ban using glasses on buildings.DOne of the greatest challenges in caring for such intelligent animals as chimpanzees(猩猩)is providing them with enriching experiences. Every day, the chimpanzees at Project Chimps receive morning and evening food-based enrichment devices, but caregivers are always looking for more ways to keep the chimps mentally engaged. With 79 chimpanzees, each with their distinctive personality, care staff often find that different chimps react differently to new enrichment.Last year, we began inviting musicians to perform for chimps to see what they may respond. A violin performance received quite the response. Additional musicians were lined up to visit but the coronavirus has stopped the activities, which we hope toresumein the near future.This past week, we brought an electric piano for the chimps to investigate. Some chimps, like twins Buttercup and Clarisse, were immediately interested and could not wait to tap out a few notes. Others, like Emma, were more interested in trying to take it apart.29- year-old Precious has very little tolerance for the piano. She sat off to the side for a few minutes, but eventually she decided that was enough. She called an end to the enrichment session by throwing a handful of waste at the piano. Receiving her message loud and clear, we removed the piano.We could never have guessed how 33-year-old Luke would react to it. As with many retired lab chimpanzees Luke has some anxiety issues. He seems particularly distrustful of anything new, including people, food, and enrichment. But when we presented the chimps with the piano, Luke was the first to investigate. We could not believe our eyes — this usually anxious chimpanzee bravely chose to explore something new!To us at Project Chimps, this is what it is all about: giving chimpanzees the freedom to choose. We are honored to be part of their journey.12. Why do chimpanzees respond differently to new enrichment?A. They are of different genders.B. They have natural curiosities.C They are as intelligent as humans. D. They have their unique characters.13. What does the underlined word “resume” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Continue.B. Suspend.C. Monitor.D. Regulate.14. Who showed the least interest in the piano?A. Buttercup and Clarisse.B. Emma.C. Precious.D. Luke.15. What is the text mainly about?A. How caregivers care for the retired chimpanzees.B. What care staff do to enrich chimpanzees' daily life.C. How chimpanzees are trained through various enrichment.D. What Project Chimps does to observe and study wild chimps.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。

He said he thought of the recycling program, because he wanted to inspire children in the small town to read and pay attention to the environment.''My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while at the time helping the environment," Gentile explained.The idea for the initiative (倡议) came after Gentile collaborated with a nearby middle school on an aluminum recycling project. Working together, the schoolchildren and Gentile collected enough cans to purchase books for an entire classroom. His new program too off from there and has already spread into northern Italy: Gentile's hopes his work will continue to make headlines and become a worldwide initiative.The free books come from customers in Gentile's shop who have donated money to purchase a ''suspended" book. The idea comes from a World War II practice in which customers would buy two Coffees: one for themselves and another for the next person in line. Gentile has been using the extra books as part of his recycling initiative, While Gentile's program is a great way to recycle and get kids to read, it also brings awareness to the growing problem of plastic waste. Single-use plastics make up around 26 percent of all the plastics in the world, only 14 percent of which are recycled. Plastics that end up in landfills take around 500 years to decompose (分解),is a major concern for environmentalists.Cutting down on plastic waste is important if we want to better the environment for future generations, and recycling programs like Gentile's book giveaway are a great way to meet that goal.4.

During the late 1960s, Americans witnessed the uninvited side effects of high productivity. Factories and power plants were sending out smoke and industrial waste while Americans were using petrol for their massive(大量的) cars, making air pollution almostsynonymous withthe nation’s development.What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill inCalifornia, the largest in theUnited Statesat that time. The spill proved to be an environmental nightmare as it had a significant effect on marine life, killing about 3,500 sea birds, as well as marine animals such as dolphins, elephant seals and sea lions, fueling public anger. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that period of time, Nelson found it an appropriate time to direct the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. He decided that it was time to educate the Americans on the need to protect the environment. Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmentalawareness took centre stage.On 22ndApril 1970, millions of Americans took to the street and thousands of students marched to appeal for a healthy, sustainable environment. There was now a new synergy(协同作用) among different groups which hadpreviously been fighting their causes related to the environment. Their fight for environmental conservation became so overwhelming that affected businesses were forced to follow environmental standards if they wanted to continue their operations.As it became more apparent that environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern, the year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world. Earth Day 1990 helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit inRio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations for a united effort towards protecting the environment.12. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “synonymous with” in paragraph 1?A. familiar withB. opposite toC. different fromD. equal to13. Why did Nelson found Earth Day?A.

Earth Day united people to fight for environmental protection.C. It was the side effects of high productivity that led Nelson to take action.D. The 1992 United Nations Earth Summit made Earth Day known to more countries.15.
