"I thought, let's try and make this young lady's day," Tony said. He got his kids together and sent out a series of cute texts that she would never forget.What he didn't know, however, was how this random act of kindness would impact on his family's lives. The missing child from the cute pictures Tony sent to Syd is called Kaizler, and the reason why he wasn't there, smiling broadly with a thumbs-up along with other children, is that he was with his mom Rachel in the hospital, where he is currently receiving a leukemia(白血病) treatment. "Kaizler is doing well," Tony said. "We still have about a year's worth of treatments to go. He really wanted to try going to kindergarten, so we gave that a shot, but he was getting sick way too often."Tony and the kids' sweet exchange with Syd went viral online, with people falling in love with the amusing and heartwarming way it unfolded. And now their good deed has had totally unexpected and amazing consequences. "Since this all started we've had over $ 3,000 donated to our little cancer patient," Tony explained. "That's more than we had got in total over the last 2 years. It's been amazing and is a bigger blessing than anyone could ever know. All your help and support are greatly appreciated."The reaction surprised Kaizler's mom Rachel very much. "I would also like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the kind words, all the donations, all the love and support. We honestly would never have been able to make it this far in our journey without every single one of you!"4. Why did Tony reply to Syd's text?A. To praise her dress.B. To make her happy.C. To ask a favour of her.D. To persuade her to donate.5. What does the underlined phrase "went viral" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Appeared suddenly.B. Spread quickly.C. Updated regularly.D. Increased gradually.6. Which words can best describe Tony?A. Considerate and generous.B. Humorous and determined.C. Kind-hearted and grateful.D. Hard-working and optimistic.7. What message is mainly conveyed in the text?A. Do well and have well.B. Many hands make light work.C. Where there is life, there is hope.D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.CThe trousers known as jeans were the product of a partnership between Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss. They are popular with many generations of people — in America, especially, but also in many other countries. Jeans have different colors these day, but the most common color is the original blue.One very common material used in the making of jeans is denim(蓝粗棉布). The word "denim" actually came from the French language. Specifically, the city of Nimes, as a major producing center in France, was the setting for much production of the cloth used to make trousers. The cloth became so associated with the city in which it was made that it came to be called "from Nimes", or, in French "de Nimes". And over time "de Nimes" became shortened to "denim".The color of blue comes from the dye(染料) used in the making of jeans, and that dye was made from indigo, a plant that gives a blue substance. In the late Middle Ages and in the 19th century, as cloth production increased across the European continent and trade between Europe and Asia developed, one trade route that became well-known was the shipping of indigo dye from India to Europe. Nimes was one of the places to which much Indian indigo dye was shipped. Unlike other dyes, which when heated went into the cotton fibers, it was attached to the outside of the cloth. And with each wash, the indigo dye more solidly bonded with the cloth, making the jeans softer and creating the softened blue look that is now so familiar.Today's dye is artificial. But in many ways, the look and feel haven't changed. What has changed is that the number of producers has increased in a big way and the number of people who wear jeans — blue has increased greatly.8. What do we know about jeans?A. Their birth was a joint effort.B. They come in a great many varieties.C. They gain most acceptance in America.D. Their popularity declines in modem times.9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The material of jeans.B. The origin of denim.C. The production of cloth.D. The development of denim.10. What feature does the Indian indigo dye have?A. It has a better color effect.B. It's very sensitive to high heat.C. It mixes easily with cotton fibers.D. Its color stays unchanged over time.11. What is the purpose of the text?A. To analyze the cause of jeans' popularity.B. To introduce the process of making jeans.C. To stress the impact of Europe-Asia trade.D. To explain the reason for jeans' being blue.DThe demand for digital audio(音频的) books is growing very rapidly. Let's first look at why this has happened. The busy lifestyle leaves us little time to sit down and read a paper book. Besides, we all have time in the day when we are not really busy mentally. Therefore, we listen and "read" when doing other things.An audio book, read by a professional narrator(讲述者) who is telling you the story, is an ideal way to "read" books that you wanted to read for long but that lack of time did not permit you to read. Storytelling has a very long tradition and with the new technology, it is gaining popularity again."For many people, listening to an audio book is an opportunity to hear an author firsthand," says Mary Beth Roche, president of the Audio Publishers Association. "It's like having the very best lecture series, not just in your own town, but in your own car or home — and at your command, they'll read when YOU are ready to listen."Audio books used to be thought of as limited special products for only the blind andsight-impaired(视力受损的) or for kids and lazy people who either can not or do not want to read themselves. This has greatly changed over the last few years. A study found that the average listener of audio books is about 45 years of age and has an average yearly income of over $ 50,000, and at least a college education and often more advanced degrees. And these people have practical knowledge or understanding of the Internet.Moreover, audio books are especially good for children who hate to read because of problems in school. That way they are familiar with the adventure of using their own imagination to paint their mental pictures of what they hear, rather than just staring at the TV screen. Also, if they have the book and the audio, reading along can help them overcome reading problems.12. Who most probably like digital audio books?A. People who love high-tech products.B. People who prefer listening to stories.C. People who read anytime and anywhere.D. People who cannot spare time for reading.13. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?A. By doing experiments.B. By giving examples.C. By analyzing causes.D. By making comparisons.14. What do digital audio books help children do?A. Reduce their screen time.B. Raise their interest in reading.C. Develop their imagination.D. Improve their listening skills.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Audio Books — A Popular Choice NowB. Audio Books — An Alternative to Paper BooksC. Audio Books — A New Source of KnowledgeD. Audio Books — A New Idea about Reading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。

Here is a list of colors, which can change your life.Blue/PurpleBlue is considered to be peaceful and calming and it has the same effect on our health. The blue / purple color in food is due primarily to their anthocyanins which are antioxidants (抗氧化剂) that are particularly heart healthy and may help support healthy blood pressure. Out of all the blue and purple foods available, blueberries are considered to have the highest antioxidant level. An analysis of the latest data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study found that people who eat purple and blue fruits and vegetables are at a reduced risk for high blood pressure and are less likely to be overweight.A food and health expert says that blue and purple color foods can prevent blood mass formation, and they also lower the risk of cancer.Foods that contain blue and purple colors are: reddish eggplant (especially the skin), blueberries, blackberries, purple grapes, etc. GreenWe all know that we should eat green as green symbolizes nature. The green foods are rich in isothiocyanates, which help resist cancer.Dr. Ashok Agarwal, a food and nutrition specialist, explains, "They are excellent sources of folic acid, vitamin K, as well as carotene （胡萝卜素）. Diets high in those above are associated with lowered blood pressure."Foods that contain the green color are: broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, etc.RedLycopene (番茄红素) in reddish fruits and vegetables is a powerful antioxidant that has been associated with a reduced risk of some cancers, and also provides protection against heart attacks.Dr. Smiths says, "Cooked tomato sauces are associated with greater health benefits as pared with the uncooked version as the heating process allows lycopene to be more easily absorbed by the body. Obtaining the most benefit from food depends on proper selection, storage and cooking of theproduce."Foods that contain red color are: Tomatoes and tomato products, watermelon, guava, red onions, red chili, red apples, red grapes, cherries, etc.OrangeThe orange foods are also rich in carotene, which are particularly good antioxidants. These foods are monly considered eyesight foods because they contain vitamin A."Orange fruits and vegetables also play a part in preventing cancer, particularly of the lungs and stomach.

But he did something different -he actually listened to people． Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversations．I thought it was odd, but I guess I had grown accustomed to people asking how I was doing simply out of a robotic conversational habit． After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble（咕哝,含糊地说） something back． I could say, "I just found out I have six months to live," and someone would reply, "Have a great day!"This old cashier seemed genuine about wanting to know how people were feeling． Meanwhile, the high-tech cash register rang up their purchases and he announced what they owed. Customers handed money to him, he hit the appropriate keys gently, the cash drawer opened, and he counted out their change．Then magic happened． He placed the change in his left hand, walkedaround the counter to the customer, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship．As their hands met, the cashier looked the customers in the eyes．"I surely want to thank you for shopping here today,“ he told them, "You have a great day． Bye-bye．" The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless．All had been touched by his simple gesture． Now it was my turn, I glanced down at the name tag on his red vest, the kind experienced Wal-Mart cashiers wore．It read, "Marty．"' Marty told me how much I owed and I handed him some money．The next thing I knew he was ,standing beside me, offering his right hand and holding my change in his left hand．His kind eyes locked onto mine, smiling, and with a firm handshake．21．While the author stood in checkout line, maybe she felt a little A． calm B．nervous C． impatient D． relaxed 22．In the opinion of the author, people would ________.A．remain silent while shopping B．have a conversation on bad newsC．think carefully before a response D．have a mechanical chat with each other23．What made Marty different from other cashiers?A．He treated his customers friendly and sincerely．B．He calculated without using the cash register．C．He was interested in other's life．D．He used the change to do some magic．24． From the passage, we can infer that MartyA．didn't know how people were feeling B．devoted himself to his jobC．wasn't skilled in doing his job D．was familiar to all his customers25．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A．Shopping for fun B．The Conversation at a ShopC．The Handshake D．An Old CustomerCThe crisis at Japan’s Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear energy center has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry. Arjun Makhijani is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States. He says the disaster in Japan is historic.This week, the chairman of America’s nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation from Japan could reach the United States. Nuclear Regulatory mission Chairman Gregory Jaczko also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats. No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979. That was when America’s worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania. The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy.To support more clean energy production, the Obama government has been seeking billions of dollars in government loan guarantees to build new centers. Presently, about twenty percent of electricity in the United States es from nuclear energy. But critics say nuclear power is too costly and dangerous to be worth further expansion.German prime minister Angela Merkel said Germany would close all seven nuclear power centers for a moment while energy policy is reconsidered. The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twenty-seven member nations.Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion. China said it will continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear plants. And India, under a cooperation agreement with the United States, plans to spend billions on new centers in the ing years.Japan has made nuclear energy a national priority since the 1970s. Unlike many major economies, Japan imports eighty percent of its energy. The Nuclear Energy Institute says twenty-nine percent of Japan’selectricity came from nuclear sources in 2011. The government planned to increase that to forty percent by xx.Nuclear plants supply fourteen percent of global electricity. Nuclear energy is a clean resource, producing no carbon gases. But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved(未解决的) issue. So is the presence of nuclear power centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr, Iran.26. Which of the following countries is the least likely to expand its use of nuclear energy?A. China.B. India.C. Iran.D. Germany.27. The government of Japan intended to increase its nuclear energy inxx by ______ pared with 2011.A. 29%.B. 40%.C. 69%.D. 11%.28. Which of the following statements about the use of nuclear power in the U.S. is TRUE?A. Most of the electricity es from nuclear energy in the U.S.B. The Obama government is against building nuclear power plants.C. A small number of nuclear power plants have been built since 1979.D. A serious nuclear accident happened in America at the end of the 1970s.29. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. The nuclear crisis in Japan has spread to other parts of the world.B. The situation of the world nuclear power development after the crisis in Japan.C. Japan’s nuclear disast er will slow the expansion of nuclear plants all over the world.D. Japan’s nuclear disaster won’t affect the nuclear energy production in other countries.30. From the last sentence of the passage, we can see the writer’sattitude towards building a nuclear power plant near Bushehr, Iran is .A. supportiveB. optimisticC. negativeD. uncertainSection C (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions : Fireworks are crackling through the night skies across the globe as revelers celebrate the first moments of xx.Crowds gathered in public spaces in major cities across the Asia-Pacific region to ring in thenew year with music, fireworks and revelry. As clocks marched toward midnight around the world, crowds massed in Moscow, Dubai, London, New York and other major cities ahead of their celebrations.Dubai created what it called the world's largest fireworks show. About a million people are expected to gather in New York's Times Square to watch a giant ball drop at the stroke of midnight, the best known of the American New Year's Eve rituals.Fireworks erupted from Auckland's Sky Tower as people danced in the streets of New Zealand's biggest city. In Sydney, Australia, more than a million people watched fireworks launched for the first time in more than a decade from the sails of the city's famed waterfront opera house. Billowing fireworks soared over Hong Kong's skyscrapers.In Japan, some celebrators ate noodles and seafood - thought to bring good luck in xx --- and offered prayers at Buddhist shrines and temples.However, celebrations were somewhat muted in the Philippines, where officials say about 260 people were injured by fireworks or stray bullets(流弹) in the days leading up to New Year's Eve. The mood also was somber in areas still recovering from Haiyan, a November typhoon that killed thousands of people.Cape Town, South Africa, was set for a particularly poignant celebration to include a tribute to anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela, who died December 5.31．How did crowds in public spaces in major cities across the Asia-Pacific region celebratethe New Year?

Officer Ryzhiy ("Ginger" in English), 9, worked with the Nizhny Novgorod transport police for seven and a half years, sniffing out illegal drugs, weapons and substances that are able or likely to cause an explosion.Recently, the short-legged corgi made its name and became a local star after his trainers created a social media account for him last summer. He now has more than 15,000 followers. His resignation was submitted to the local Interior Ministry over the last weekend. "Now, my friends, I am a real pensioner!" reads a post announcing his retirement. The account will now update Ryzhiy's followers on "the everyday life of a retired police dog" as well as the work of his former dog colleagues. "I plan to play sports as often as I did before. And maybe I will even try to learn new things, for example, dancing," the dog's account wrote. Ryzhiy's partner, a Belgian Sheepdog named Ziger, will soon be joined by a new four-legged companion.Ryzhiy initially joined the police force by accident. His owner, also a police officer, brought him to work one day when the traffic police didn't have enough dogs on hand. He quickly adapted to the task and earned a full-time job as a result.Corgis are well suited to working as police sniffing dogs but are too expensive for most police budgets, said a Russian corgi trainer. As a result, it remains unlikely that Russia will see any other corgi officers joining the ranks of its police.4. How did Ryzhiy help the police?A. By searching for the criminals.B. By discovering prohibited things.C. By helping keep traffic orderly.D. By protecting them from danger.5. Who updates the posts about Ryzhiy online regularly?A. Ryzhiy.B. Ziger.C. The trainers.D. The police.6. What can we infer about Ryzhiy?A. He was probably once a pet dog.B. He devoted his whole life to his job.C. He had no companions while working.D. He was highly adaptable to emergencies.7. What can be a suitable tide for the text?A. Police Corgis Are Rare in RussiaB. Corgis Are Considered the Best Police DogsC. A Russian Corgi Makes His Name OnlineD. Russia's First Police Corgi Goes into RetirementCIn Colombia a group, named WebConserva, is carrying out a project in the San Lucas Mountains with the help of coffee growers.The San Lucas area is one of the most unexplored places in Colombia, which is home to many thousands of species of animals and plants. Yet gold mining and coca farming have dealt a blow to its ecosystem. To limit additional development in the San Lucas area, the group helps coffee growers by linking them with processors from around the country.Colombia has more different kinds of living things than any other country except neighboring Brazil. In 2016, the Colombian government signed a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ending years of civil war. As a result, more land became accessible for use, with deforestation(毁林) coming along. Government information shows that in 2017, almost 220,000 hectares of forest were destroyed compared to around 124,000 hectares in 2015.To date, the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants, which costs about $ 77,000 dollars a year. WebConserva hopes that, in time, 200 families will be included. At that level, 20,000 hectares of untouched forest could be protected. In San Lucas, the families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals from the forests. In return, they receive $ 250 to $ 300 per 125 kilograms of coffee, an enviable amount there. Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part. His new coffee plantation(种植园) makes a barrier between cattle farms and forests where wild animals like the jaguar live and hunt. In this way, he doesn't have to kill wild animals to protect his cattle.Barajas said that pulling down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against his will. Now he feels that growing coffee lets him be a steward of the land. "I'm taking care of the environment, the forest and the animals," he said.8. Why does WebConserva set up the project?A. To help local farmers make money.B. To expand areas of coffee growing.C. To link processors with coffee growers.D. To conserve biodiversity in the Mountains.9. What happened after Colombia’s civil war was over?A. Colombia helped many needy families.B. Colombia lost lots of areas of forests.C. Colombia started to save damaged forests.D. Colombia became more peaceful than Brazil.10. Which is probably a function of Barajas's coffee plantation?A. A method of protecting cattle and wildlife.B.A substitute for hunting of wild animals.C. A barrier between man and wild animals.D.A shelter for cattle against human hunters.11. What does the underlined word "steward" mean in the last paragraph?A. Farmer.B. Master.C. Guardian.D. Explorer.D"You are very aware that if something goes wrong, it goes very wrong very quickly," says Joanne Johnson, speaking near Thwaites Glacier(冰川) in one of the remotest parts of Antarctica. At the time, she and three colleagues were alone, more than 1600 kilometres from the nearest research station. Strong winds had pounded them and it had snowed heavily. On the bright side, fortunately, it was mild, at -5℃.Until now, fewer than 50 people have been to this part of West Antarctica, less than have been to space. By the end of this month, 100 will have visited. The reason is simple: Thwaites now is a potential time bomb.This vast glacier is about the size of Great Britain. While it has been lessening since the early 1990s, ice it lost has almost doubled over the past 20 years. It is falling 35 billion tonnes a year. On its own, its collapse would raise seas by around 65 centimetres. That is worrying enough in the context of the 19-cm rise in the whole of the 20th century. But the bigger worry is that this glacier buttresses the entire West Antarctic ice sheet. The fear is that it will cause a wider collapse of the ice sheet — enough to raise seas by a disastrous 3.3 metres within a few hundred years if Thwaites goes.Scientists for the first time drilled into the ice; placing instruments into the ice is the only way to make accurate forecasts of how sea level will rise in the future. This year's work has already confirmed their fears though — warm ocean water that circles Antarctica is flowing to the coast and because the seabed tips downwards, as the ice melts(融化) it will expose increasingly more ice to that water, meaning the glacier could disappear increasingly rapidly.Joanne Johnson said, "What happens in the Antarctic doesn't stay in the Antarctic. Humanity canno t afford to wait."12. Why will more people visit Thwaites?A. To measure Thwaites' size.B. To locate Thwaites Glacier.C. To explore West Antarctica.D. To learn about Thwaites' melting.13. What does the underlined word "buttresses" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Supports.B. Covers.C. Damages.D. Balances.14. What's the purpose of scientists' drilling into the ice?A. To find out the position of ice melting.B. To predict the exact change of sea level.C. To calculate the speed of water circling.D. To prevent the seabed from moving.15. What does Joanne Johnson mean in the last paragraph?A. Antarctic is destroyed by outsiders.B. Antarctic is the focus of the problem.C. Thwaites' trouble will become worldwide.D. Humans should be blamed for Thwaites' crisis.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThere are a number of sports writers who are now widely regarded as some of the best sports journalists of our time. Here are five of the most well-known sports writers.Rick Reilly of Sports IllustratedRick Reilly became famous as the back page columnist (专栏作家) for Sports Illustrated magazine. Then he moved to ESPN in 2008 and began working as a columnist for their website — . Now he has his own show with ESPN, and he also contributes articles to ABC sports.Bob Ryan of The Boston GlobeBob Ryan rose through the ranks thanks to his skill and knowledge about basketball. He very soon became known as a guru of the sport, writing an impressively large number of articles about The Boston Celtics — a National Basketball Association (NBA) team based in Boston, Massachusetts.John Feinstein of The Washington PostJohn Feinstein is primarily a columnist with The Washington Post but during his long career he has published two best-selling sports books A Good Walk Spoiled and A Season on the Brink. He is a regular with the Golf Channel and has a very popular blog called Feinstein on the Brink.Joaquin Henson of The Philippine StarJoaquin Henson started out his sports journalism career in 1973 and became popularthrough his column Sporting Chance, which has been published in The Philippine Star since the 80’s. He has given a number of catchy nicknames to some of the most famous sporting stars of our time.William Rhoden of The New York TimesApart from being a columnist with The New York Times since the 80’s, William Rhoden is a respected sports journalist known for his two books Forty Million Dollar Slaves and Third and a Mile. Both books deal with the problems that face black athletes in the field of sport.1．Before working for ESPN, Rick Reilly _____.A．was a regular with the Golf Channel B．started his column Sporting Chance C．wrote articles for Sports Illustrated D．worked as a sports talk show host 2．Both John Feinstein and William Rhoden _____.A．have worked as writers for ten years B．work as columnists and write books C．like to give nicknames to sporting stars D．are known as columnists for ABC sports 3．What would be the best title for the text?A．Useful tips for a sports journalist B．How to be a newspaper columnist C．Newspapers that influence us a lot D．Famous and popular sports writersBDr. Faisal Zawawi, an Otolaryngologist and member of the McGill Auditory Sciences Laboratory, notes that when a person is exposed to loud noises it can cause short-term hearing loss but that under normal circumstances the body typically is able to repair the loss of hearing within 72 hours. However, Zawawi warns that if symptoms are not reversed (倒转) in the first 72 hours the damage could become permanent. Due to findings in previous studies about it, Zawawi says that the team of researchers has suspected that something may stop this repair process. Therefore, the team set out to determine if caffeine could be a contributing cause to hearing loss. According to the Medical Daily, the researchers tested what theysuspected on female guinea pigs(FGP) (豚鼠).To perform the test, 24 female guinea pigs were split into three equal groups with each group exposed in different levels to caffeine, and loud noises. The researchers found that the guinea pigs subjected to only sound had their full hearing recovered by day eight. However, the guinea pigs that were subjected to both caffeine and loud noise never fully regained their hearing. Therefore，the researchers concluded that caffeine is a likely contributing cause to permanent hearing loss.“This research confirms that while a cup of coffee may seem appealing after a long night at a loud concert, drinking caffeine produces more of a risk than benefit when it comes to a person's hearing. Although further research is required to understand the effect on humans, the results are promising," says Zawawi. If the research proves successful, the removal of caffeine from your diet following noise exposure could prevent permanent hearing loss as the body will be more able to repair itself naturally.4．What caused the team to do the research?A．Caffeine loving people suffering hearing loss.B．The results about hearing loss found before.C．The finding that FGPs are sensitive to noise.D．The fact that many people drink coffee.5．What is Zawawi's view about temporary hearing loss?A．Drinking coffee daily results in it.B．The continuous noise exposure surely causes it.C．The temporary hearing loss will become permanent after 3 days.D．Generally people can recover from it in 3 days.6．What can we learn about hearing from the text?A．Coffee can lead to quick hearing loss.B．Loud noise causes people to lose it forever.C．Coffee can stop it from recovering.D．Hearing loss after noise exposure is normal.7．How does Zawawi assess the research?A．It's controversial.B．It's unnecessary to carry it on.C．It's not predictable.D．It's almost successful.CSmall talk has a reputation for being uninteresting, and for good reason. Pointing out the fact that it’s raining seems as ridiculous as pointing out the fact that you have a head—you’re fully aware of both things, and don’t require an outsider to confirm them. But despite being evident and often painfully dull, small talk has an important role to fulfil, enabling us to leap over a number of social obstacles towards improved, meaningful interaction.Humans can be sensitive souls. We each have our boundaries and lists of potential upsets, which when broken, cause us to either gently back away to an alternative position in the room, or become cross at the person. Small talk is first a way to test the waters with an unfamiliar person, so that you may better understand their personality. When finding yourself positioned closely to a person who you know little about, it’s much safer to point out the rainy sky than to share your political views on a sensitive topic. Until you know the person better, heavier topics should probably be kept under wraps, so you won’t find yourself on the receiving end of a cold stare.Though insignificant, small talk still has great power. When talking with fellow humans, much of our soul is exposed through non-verbal communication. A response to “how was your weekend” can unveil much about the person’s character. The length of their response might indicate their level of self-confidence; the tone of speaking might show how agreeable a person is; their slightly lowered head, as if protecting themselves from attack, a possible sign of a regrettable history of bullying.As more of a person’s character is revealed, we have the insight needed to determinewhether to broach more significant topics—the things that we actually want to talk about. Conversation is a great educator, and deep conversation establish lasting bonds with our fellow humans, forming precious friendships that paint our lives with vibrant colors. Such friendships begin with small talk.8．What is described in the first paragraph?A．The first stage of human interaction.B．Ridiculous human behavior in communication.C．Absence of communication between strangers.D．The difficulty of having deep conversations.9．Why do people find themselves “on the receiving end of a cold stare”?A．Because they are fond of heavy subjects.B．Because they are enthusiastic about politics.C．Because they are too sensitive about topics.D．Because they fail to manage interpersonal distance.10．What might be a sign of friendliness according to paragraph 3?A．The length of the answer.B．The quality of the voice.C．The position of the head.D．The distance between speakers. 11．What might be the best title for the text?A．Reputation of Small Talk B．Ways of Understanding Personality C．Significance of Small Talk D．Challenges of Deep ConversationDAs educators across the globe look to improve students outcomes, a new trend is beginning to take root. Equipped with the knowledge that indoor plants improve general health and well-being, living green walls, like those created by GSky Plant Systems,Inc., arebringing life to educational spaces.This fall, to help enrich student learning, GSky completed the installation(安装) of a Versa Wall for the new Biomedical Sciences and Engineering(BSE) facility at Universities at Shady Grove in Rockville, Maryland. “The living wall is meant to almost appear as an extension of the east courtyard exterior(外面的) environment flowing into the building,”said Christopher Case, Project Engineer for Gilbane Building Company.As the educational model continues its shift toward a science, technology, engineering, art and math(STEAM) curriculum, Educators are looking for more hands-on learning opportunities. Green walls provide teachers with a new way to put STEAM principles into the curriculum.Known as project-based learning, this method allows instructors to develop educational opportunities for students to interact with a green wall. Michael McCullough, Michael Martin and Mollika Sajady, in their article, “Implementing(实施) Green Walls in school，”explain the benefits of project-based learning：“The project-based learning allows students to construct meaning and knowledge based on direct experience，interacting with their environment.” In turn, students are encouraged to use critical thinking to develop ways to maintain a green wall, once again, bring them back to the natural world, in spite of being indoors.The benefits of green walls don't end at better test scores and increased learning opportunities. Because stress levels often run high in schools, green walls naturally help reduce that stress and anxiety. Plus, the addition of greenery in schools decreases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to a reduction in headaches, dizziness, and tiredness,---all of which contribute to students’ ability to focus.To increase productivity while beautifying a space, Georgetown University also chose a GSky Versa Wall for a student center in one of their residence halls, New South. The 828-square- foot vertical garden is filled with 5000 plants, allowing students to breathe easy.So, no matter the location or learning style, GSky’s green walls are proving to be a critical element in creating a positive educational experience for students, big and small. 12．What did Christopher say about the living wall?A．It extends as far as the east countryyard.B．It appears as if it's constantly moving.C．It beautifies the country yard exterior environment.D．It brings the outdoor environment into the building.13．What does “Implementing Green Walls in School” show about green walls?A．They are beneficial to the students’ studies.B．They still need further improving.C．They might replace some STEAM courses.D．They work well in improving general health.14．Why is Georgetown University mentioned in Paragraph 6?A．To complain about the wrong location of GSky's green walls.B．To display possible learning opportunities at universities.C．To show GSky's green walls’ functions.D．To explain a new trend among universities.15．What is the test mainly about?A．New environmentally friendly measures.B．The unexpected fast development of GSky.C．Living green walls in educational institutions.D．The connection between knowledge and plants.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。
2021年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语模拟卷(七)附带答案及详细解析
2021年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语模拟卷（七）一、阅读选择（共4题；共30分）1.阅读理解Children's books bring back joyful memories, providing kids with that much-needed escapism, entertainment and education from a young age. But sometimes it can be difficult to know which to choose. Here, experts share a selection of their favourites.Germany: Konstantin, by Gerda Wagener Vlasta BarankovaThis book follows a shy crocodile named Konstantin who finds a French horn in the jungle. The lonely reptile learns to play the instrument in secret but later with the confidence given by other animals, the nervous and lonely Konstantin finally comes out of his shell and finds friendship through his music. This heartwarming story encourages taking pride in what you do and having the courage to share it with others.Sweden: Pippi Longstocking, by Astrid LindgrenPippi, a nine-year-old girl, is always ready to challenge the authority of grown-ups and has a love of animals, especially for her pet horse and monkey. Pippi also provides a strong female presence in the story, which is often lacking in traditional children's literature and fairy tales. This is a great book for any children looking for an exciting and courageous figure that they can relate or look up to, teaching them not only to take the lead but to question the rules of the world.Sweden: Pettson and Findus by Sven NordqvistIt is a series about the adventures of an old man, Pettson, and his cat, Findus, living in their farmhouse in the countryside. Beginning usually with ordinary events, such as a camping or fishing trip, they contain lots of fantastical details of the small creatures that play tricks on Pettson. These tales encourage finding joy in the little things in life, whether it is cooking or just enjoying the great outdoors.France: The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-ExuperyAs one of the most translated books ever, The Little Prince is a classic in many nations beyond its native France. The plot revolves around a young prince who travels from planet to planet through space. He learns lessons about love, loneliness and friendship along the ensuing journey. The book may have been written for children, but The Little Prince includes enough reflection on complex themes to keep grown-ups entertained as well, making it a great choice for parents and children to read together.（1）What are parents supposed to do with a shy boy?A.Motivate him to learn a musical instrument.B.Accompany him to read bedtime stories.C.Encourage him to come out of his shell.cate him to challenge authorities.（2）Which is the best choice to help improve your kids' critical thinking?A.KonstantinB.Pippi LongstockingC.Pettson and FindusD.The Little Prince（3）What do the four books have in common?A.They come from the western culture.B.They are the most translated books ever.C.They are about human-animal relationship.D.They are about memories of childhood.2.阅读理解Louise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career since her first publication in 1968. In 1993, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems, The Wild Iris. And on Oct 8 (2020) she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901.Gluck was honored “for her unmistakable poetic voice that, with plain and simple beauty, makes individual existence universal”. Often said to be an autobiographical poet, drawing fr om the inner parts of her life, "Gluck seeks the universal, Nobel Committee Chair Anders Olsson said in a statement.Gluck, 77, the author of 12 poetry collections, has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life, loss, and isolation. Because of this, readers have often found her poetry to be "dark". However, there is much more than darkness in her voice, as noted by Olsson. "It is candid and also a voice full of humor and biting wit." he said.For example, in her poem Snowdrops, she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death. She leads readers down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end. At the conclusion of the poem, readers are left to feel the "raw wind of the new world" as they watch a new spring. This is often the case in Gluck's poetry, being able to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time. When her work Faithful Virtuous Night received a National Book Award for Poetry in 2014, a judge for the award went on to say, the collection comes from "a world where darkness blurs (模糊) ordinarily sharp edges around the oppositions of our lives - loss and renewal, male and female, the living and the dead".Talking of prizes, she acknowledged that they can make "existence in the world easier" but did not amount to the immortality (永生) of a true artist. "I want to live after I die, in that ancient way." she said. "And there's no way of knowing whether that will happen, and there will be no knowing, no matter how many blue ribbons have been used to cover my body." The remark is in line with Olsson's description of Gluck's poetic voice as "candid and uncompromising” but frequently witty.（1）What can we learn about Louise Gluck?A.She is a productive and distinguished poet.B.She showed indifference to the Nobel award.C.She had her first publication in her teens.D.She gets inspiration from universal existence.（2）How do readers feel after reading Snowdrops?A.Depressed.B.Confused.C.Astonished.D.Refreshed.（3）According to Gluck, how do awards influence artists?A.By improving their health and fame.B.By popularizing their works better.C.By contributing to their living longer.D.By allowing them a better living.（4）What is the text mainly about?A.Gluck's poetry collections.B.Gluck's journey to success.C.The glories of Glucks poetry.D.The features of Gluck's poetry.3.阅读理解Could looking through trees be the view to a greener future? Trees replacing the clear glass in your windows is not a work of science fiction. It's happening now.Forest Products Laboratory researcher Junyong Zhu together with colleagues from the University of Maryland and University of Colorado has developed a transparent wood material that may be the window of tomorrow. Researchers found that transparent wood has the potential to outperform glass currently used in construction in nearly every way.While glass is the most common material used in window construction, it comes with quite a few bad consequences. Heat easily transfers through glass and amounts to higher energy bills when it escapes during cold weather and pours in when it's warm. Glass production used for construction also comes with a heavy carbon footprint. Manufacturing emissions alone are approximately 25,000 metric tons per year, without considering the heavy footprint of transporting the glass.The innovation was developed using wood from the balsa tree, which is native to South and Central America. The team treated balsa wood to an oxidizing bath, where the wood is kept in a bleach solution at room temperature to remove the light-absorbing substance from the structure. The wood is then penetrated (注入) with a synthetic polymer called polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), creating a product that is virtually transparent. So the transparent wood is created, which is far more durable and lighter than glass.Switching to transparent wood could prove to be cost efficient as well. It is approximately five times more thermally efficient than glass, cutting energy costs. It is made from a sustainable, renewable resource with low carbon emissions.With all of these potential benefits for consumers, manufacturing and the environment, the case for transparent wood couldn't be clearer.（1）What is the main problem with glass used in window construction?A.It is inefficient in letting heat out.B.It is inconvenient to transport.C.It causes a high ecological price.D.It scarcely reflects light and heat.（2）What does the underlined part "a bleach solution" refer to?A.A way to make colors fade.B.A liquid to make objects pale.C.A container to store liquids.D.A process to solve problems.（3）What do the researchers probably agree with?A.Innovation is the vitality of scientific housing.B.Things are not always what they seem.C.There are more ways to the wood than one.D.There is nothing permanent except change.（4）What is the author's attitude toward transparent wood?A.Skeptical.B.Ambiguous.C.Appreciative.D.Conservative.4.阅读理解Half of all work tasks will be handled by machines by 2025 in a shift likely to worsen inequality, a World Economic Forum report has forecast.The think tank said a "robot revolution" would create 97 million jobs worldwide but destroy almost as many, leaving some communities at risk. Routine or manual jobs in administration and data processing were most atthreat of automation, WEF said. But it said there would be a need for new jobs in care, big data and the green economy.The WEF surveyed 300 of the world's biggest companies, with more than 8 million employees globally. More than 50% of employers surveyed said they expected to speed up the automation of some roles in their companies, while 43% felt they were likely to cut jobs due to technology.WEF said the pandemic (疫情) had sped up the adoption of new technologies as firms looked to cut costs and adopt new ways of working. But it warned workers now faced a double threat from "accelerating automation and the economic impact from the Covid-19"."These things have deepened existing inequalities across labor markets and removed gains in employment made since the global financial crisis in 2007-2008," said Saadia Zahidi, managing director at WEF. "The window of opportunity for active management of this change is closing fast."WEF said currently around a third of all work tasks were handled by machines, with humans doing the rest, but by 2025 the balance would shift. Roles that relied on human skills such as advising, decision-making, reasoning, communicating and interacting would rise in demand. There would also be a sudden large increase in demand for workers to fill green economy jobs, and new roles in areas like engineering and cloud computing.But it said millions of routine or manual jobs would be displaced by technology, affecting the lowest paid, lowest skilled workers the most. It said millions would need to be re-skilled to cope with the change, while governments would have to provide "stronger safety nets" for displaced workers.（1）Who are included in "some communities" mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.Unskilled workers.B.Software engineers.C.Career consultants.anic fanners.（2）What is the purpose of paragraphs 3 and 4?A.To analyse the reliability of the figures and facts.B.To provide supporting evidence for the main idea.C.To introduce two events for discussion.D.To highlight two causes of the effects.（3）What do the displaced people expect their governments to do?A.Slow down the automation.B.Strengthen social security.C.Improve network safety.D.Promote the Robot Revolution.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Further inequalities from the Robot Revolution.B.A double threat from automation and pandemic.C.Half of all work tasks to be lost.D.Half of all work tasks to be automated.二、任务型阅读（共1题；共5分）5.任务型阅读Do you waste food?How much food do you buy each week? Are you someone who fills your fridge and cupboards with treats so that you'll always have something to eat and so that you'll never go hungry? ________Throwing away unwanted food has become a big issue in the developed world. While some of us throw away unwanted items, people in other parts of world face food shortages and are starving. ________ The actual figure is 1.3 billion tons of food, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.You may think supermarkets are mainly to blame for this mountain of food. After all, they do cast stuff that's past its sell — by — date. They've also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need. ________ In Europe an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tons of food waste a year. So instead of filling our bellies, our food is filling up landfill sites. Unfortunately, this causes greenhouse gases which eventually leads to global warming and climate change.In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to tackle this problem. She convinced some supermarkets to stop selling their items in quantity so that people bought only what they needed. She's set up an education program in schools. ________________ And when we're at home we should make the most of the food we have — using recipes that use up our leftovers or even sharing our extra food with our friends and neighbours.A. People buy more than they need and throw too much away.B. Or maybe, you're efficient with your shopping, only buying what you need.C. But the biggest contributor to food waste is us.D. Clearly, we need to think twice when shopping.E. We simply need to stop throwing away food and enjoy it instead.F. This has helped create a 25% reduction in food waste.G. It's shocking that a third of the world's food is wasted each year.三、完形填空（共1题；共20分）6.完形填空We have a problem that is deeply rooted in our world today. When it comes to the holidays, people tend to forget that it's the season of giving, 1 the season of receiving. We tend to be more2 about what we'll receive on Christmas morning as opposed to looking at the holidays as3 to help out those who don't have it as good as we do.So, how can we 4 the culture around the holidays and make sure that people are emphasizing the opportunity to 5 as much as they are looking forward to opening up their stockings? During this holiday season, many people receive countless 6 from organizations seeking giftsto help them fulfill their mission: helping the old, providing food for the poor, 7 for the homeless, care for 8 animals and more.Giving 9 is the right thing to do, though many of us are 10 by the task. Whether or not we have much money to 11 , it isn't always easy to 12 what we have worked so hard for, especially when we have set 13 goals—saving for retirement, a vacation or a rainy day.Even with so many reasons to be unwilling, the advantages of giving outweigh them all. When we give to those in need, either 14 to persons or through 15 , we make a positive16 to the lives of others and to our own.As we are reminded, giving ensures that we are not 17 by material things, but free through the abundance of 18 . That we have all things is not because we have a good 19of money in the bank, not because we have skill and intelligence with which to 20 bread, but because we are fortunate enough. May we be good at giving from what we have received from our fortune.1. A. other than B. more than C. rather than D. less than2. A. concerned B. appreciated C. careless D. surprised3.
