聊城一中高三加强训练(一)英语强试题阅读(共两节,每题2.5分;满分97.5分)第一节Laura Sides was a psychology major at the University of Nottingham in 2004. She first noticed signs of her dad’s developing dementia(痴呆) when she moved to Nottingham. She said, "Dad was a doctor, so he knew exactly what had happened to him, but people try to hide it when they are ill. Then, I came home for my 21st birthday and arranged to meet him, but he never showed up as he’d forgotten. That’s when I knew something serious had happened."So, aged 21, she decided to leave university and look after him herself. She lived close by, popping in every day to make sure he was eating, and that the house was tidy, before heading off to her work.Besides challenging moments, there was a time when looking after her dad was a pure joy. "We’d wake up, I’d ask what he wanted to do that day, and however ridiculous the adventure is, off we’d go."Sadly, in 2009, 5 years later, Laura lost her father. Before he died, Laura went to a hospital appointment with him, where doctors mentioned that his form of Alzheimer’s disease was genetic meaning there was a fifty-fifty chance that she had inherited it. For several years Laura agonised over whether to be tested, finally finding out in August 2017 that she has the APP gene, meaning that, like him, she will develop the condition within a decade.At first, she struggled, feeling as if her life lacked purpose. Then, during a sleepless night in the summer of 2018, she decided at around 2 a.m. to enter the 2019 London Marathon sponsored b y the charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK.She hoped to start the conversation around early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and to encourage people to talk about it more openly. "I remember when Dad was ill, people wouldn’t know how to reac t, but I want to be honest and open," she added. "The more information we can get, the less of a taboo(忌讳) we will feel. That said, the support I’ve received so far after going public has been amazing —that’s what is carrying me through."1. Laura noticed her father’s dementia when .A. her father told her his condition in personB. people nearby informed her of his father’s conditionC. her father forgot his own birthday partyD. her father forgot to attend her 21-year-old birthday party2. The underlined word "agonised" in Paragraph 4 probably means .A. excitedB. struggledC. shockedD. delighted3. Laura started the open talk in the hope of .A. getting people to talk about Alzheimer’s disease openlyB. earning some money to help treat her Alzhei mer’s diseaseC. making herself stronger to fight against Alzheimer’s diseaseD. raising funds for charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s disease Research UK4. Which words can best describe Laura?A. Caring and positive.B. Careful and honest.C. Patient and cautious.D. Devoted and modest.【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。

Many Chinese people are planning to visit red tourism attractions in the coming summer vacation. The following are some red tourism sites inShanghai.Former Site of the Editorial Department ofNew YouthRevolutionary magazineNew Youth,which created the New Culture Movement and spread the influence of the May Fourth Movement, was established by Chen Duxiu inShanghaiin 1915. The editorial office moved toBeijingin 1917 when Chen Duxiu was head of liberal arts atPekingUniversitybut moved back toShanghaithree years later.Address: No. 2,100 Nanchang Road, Huangpu districtFormer Residence of Chen WangdaoThis three-story building was the home of famous scholar and educator Chen Wangdao. In 1920, Chen completed the first Chinese translation ofThe Communist Manifesto(共产党宣言).

They included Zhou Enlai, later the first premier of thePeopledRepublicofChina, and Deng Xiaoping, later the leader of the PRC.Address:32 Qinhuangdao Road, Yangpu districtThe Memorial of the Site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party ofChinaThe two-story building was completed in 1920 as the residence of CPC founding member Li Hanjun. On July 23, 1921, thirteen members held their first national congress of the Communist Party of China here, marking the birth of the Party.Address:76 Xingye Road, Huangpu district1.

Which site was the birthplace of the Communist Party of China?A. Former Site of the Editorial Department, of New Youth.B. Former Residence of Chen Wangdao.C.HuangpuWharf.D. The Memorial of the Site of the First National Congress of the CPC.BIt is not only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence.There are some other important ways we shape our kids — particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words.For example, we can say to a child “Don't run into traffic!” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and aren't scaring themselves with what not to do.Actually, it is all in the way the human mind works.What we think, we automatically rehearse.For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn't be able to do it.When a child is told “Don't fall off the tree,” he will think of two things:“don't” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off.So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words.So parents should make their commands positive.“Sam, hold on firmly to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Don't you dare to fall out of the boat?” or “How do you think I'll feel if you drown?” The changes are small but the difference is obvious.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.4. Positive choice of words helps kids to ________.A. learn in different situationsB. do things carefullyC. build up their confidenceD. improve their imagination5. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. A child will act on what is instructed.B. One can't help imagining what is heard.C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.D. One won't think of a blue monkey when given money.6. Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?A. How do you think I'll feel if you get hurt?B. Don't play by the lake.C. Don't you dare to walk through the red light?D. Fasten your seat belt.7. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. positive instructions guide kidsB. praise makes kids confidentC right instructions keep kids safe D. clear commands make kids differentCEach year, the women of Olney and Liberal compete in an unusual footrace. Dressed in aprons (围裙) and headscarves, they wait at both towns’starting lines. Each woman holds a frying pan with one pancake inside. At the signal, the women flip (轻抛) pancakes and they’re off!This “pancake racing” tradition is said to have started on Shrove Tuesday, 1445, in Olney. Shrove Tuesday is the day beforethe Christian season of Lent (大斋戒) begins. During Lent, many people decide to give up sugary or fatty foods.Legend says that in 1445, an Olney woman was making pancakes to use up some of her sugar and cooking fats before Lent. She lost track of time and suddenly heard the church bells ring, signaling the beginning of the Shrove Tuesday service. Realizing that she was going to be late for church, she raced out the door still wearing her apron and headscarf and holding her frying pan with a pancake in it. In the following years, the woman’s neighbors imitated her dash to church, and pancake racing was born.The rules are simple. Racers must wear the traditional headscarf and apron. They must flip their pancakes twice - once before starting and once after crossing the finish line. After the race, there are Shrove Tuesday churchservices. Then Liberal and Olney connect through a video call to compare race times and declare a winner.In both towns, the races have grown into larger festivals. Olney’s festival is an all-day event starting with a big pancake breakfast. Liberal’s festival lasts four days and includes a parade, a talent show, and contests that feature eating and flipping pancakes. Although the women’s race is still the main event, both towns now hold additional races for boys and girls of all ages.8. How did pancake racing start?A. A woman in Olney created it.B. Women made pancakes before Lent.C. A woman dashed to church with a pancake.D. People followed the suit of an interesting incident.9. What should racers obey during the race?A. They can wear fashionable headscarves and aprons.B. They must flip their pancakes once in the race.C. They must flip their pancakes at the beginning of the race.D. They can flip their pancakes in the middle of the race.10. What can we learn about the race from the last paragraph?A. People can show their talent in Olney festival.B. People can enjoy a one-day holiday in Liberal.C. The race is not only intended for women now.D. People can have a big pancake breakfast in both towns.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The origin of pancake racing.B. The history of pancake racing.C. The development of pancake racing.D. The introduction to pancake racing.DJoshua Nelson, 18, fromMissouri, is graduating fromSt. CharlesWestHigh Schoolthis week and will be attendingSoutheastMissouriStatein the fall. He had saved upmoney to pay for his tuition, but when he received the college's President's Scholarship, he decided to take his savings and donate it to other students in need.“It comes from my family education and faith," Nelson said. "I've always lived by strong principles as far asbeing a cheerful giver andhaving an open handwhen it comes to giving back so I feel like that really motivated me.”SEMO's President's Scholarship is the school’s most celebrated, and is only awarded to five top students annually. Nelsonsaid he sat down and outlined how a scholarship could work to help future students who need financial assistance for college. Originally the plan was to give away $ 1,000 the one time, but then he met up with his counselor (顾问), Yolanda Curry, to work outa game plan.“I wasn't expecting it at all!” Curry said. "He told me he had a great idea and wanted to share it with me. I could tell he was really excited.Nelson, in association with his high school, set up the Joshua Nelson Leaders In Action Scholarship fund. Each year, $1,000 will be awarded to a senior. The money will come from donations, of which there have been $16,000 so far — for a total of $17,435 at last count, according to the school. With the money already in the fund, there's enough to give out a scholarship each year for over a decade. The first scholarship was awarded on June 1 to Darrell Montalvo-Luna. As the first recipient, his scholarship was $2,000.“Joshua has the heart of a servant leader. He leads by example and he's genuinely excited when good things happen for other people," Curry said. "He's an encouragement — he's good at building others up and does what he can to help encourage and motivate those around.12. What did Nelson's initial donation come from?A. His scholarship.B.

Constant dropping wears away the stone.C. Genius is nothing but labor and diligence.D. A foot may prove short while an inch may prove long.DThe conclusion of the Paris Agreement in 2015,in which almost every nation committed to reduce their carbon emissions(排放),was supposed to be a turning point in the fight against climate change.But many countries have already fallen behind their goals.Meanwhile emissions worldwide continue to rise.The only way to catch up is to aggressively pursue an approach that takes advantage of every possible strategy to reduce emissions.Wind and solar energy are usually part of this effort,but it must also include investing heavily in carbon capture(碳捕捉),utilization(应用)and storage(CCUS)-a range of technologies that pull carbon dioxide from the air,and transform it into useful materials or store it underground.Although CCUS has been opposed as too expensive and unproved,recent gains have made it far more effective.Improvements suchas chemical compounds could drive the cost down from ﹩1 00 per ton of captured carbon in 2016 to ﹩20 per ton by 2025,according to a 2016 article in Science.Three primary CCUS paths lead to the reduction of carbon emissions:retrofitting(改装)existing power plants;reducing emissions in industries that cannot run on renewable energy;and directly removing carbon from the air.Cutting emissions from existing electric power stations with CCUS could be made more appealing in a future with a circular carbon economy,in which captured carbon could be resold and recycled for other uses--for instance,serving as a raw material for making concrete or plastics.The basic idea of carbon capture has faced a lot of opposition.Skepticism has come from climate change deniers,who see it as a waste of money,and from passionate supporters of climate action,who fear that it would be used to justify continued reliance on fossil fuels.Both groups are ignoring the recent advances and the opportunity they present.By limiting investment in decarbonization,the world will miss a major avenue for reducing emissions in a variety of industries.CCUS can also create jobs and profits from what was previously only a waste material by creating a larger economy around carbon.The transition to clean energy has become necessary.But that transition's ability to achieve deep decarbonization will become less effective without this wide range of solutions,which must include CCUS.12.What can CCUS technologies do in reducing emissions?______A. Closing down existing power plants.B. Limiting investment in heavy industry.C. Processing raw materials underground.D. Turning carbon dioxide into useful materials.13.Why is it attractive to retrofit existing power plants with CCUS?______A. It can remove carbon directly from the air.B. It can benefit the industry economically.C. It is the most affordable way to capture carbon.D. It helps power plants produce concrete or plastics.14.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?______A. Fossil fuels will be no longer used in future.B. Investing in decarbonization is a worthwhile project.C. Climate change deniers believe in the necessity of decarbonization.D. Little progress has been made in the fight against carbon emissions.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?______A. Capture That CarbonB. Let Carbon GoC. Stand Firm with Energy ProtectionD.

Thieves often search d rawers in the master bedroom but tend to leave kids' rooms untouched. Just make sure it's a place your child can't easily access,1ike on a high closet shelf."可知,小偷已经知道你存放了贵重物品,所以贵重物品的秘密藏身处升级到更难被发现的地方.小偷经常搜查主卧室的抽屉,但往往不去碰孩子们的房间.但要确保贵重东西要放在孩子不容易接近的地方,像放在一个高高的衣橱架子上.所以小题1在句中要起到承上启下的作用.故D 选项"一个简单的解决办法是把重要的文件和物品放在你孩子的房间里"符合句意.故D 选项正确.【2题详解】由"but they also make it easy for burglars to see inside your home"可知,但它们也让窃贼很容易看到你家里面的情况.由连词but可知,小题2要与后句话形成转折关系.故E选项"装饰性玻璃或大窗户可能对你的前门风水很重要"符合句意.故E选项正确.【3题详解】由"Whether you're going away for two weeks or just a long weekend,ask a neighbor to check daily for flyers stuck in your front door.

Because often people aren't as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people end up getting hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should guard against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friend the same way as you'd like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.Even if you're always thinking about how you'd like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are issues that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these issues so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Issues like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are issues that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these issues so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.4. Why may problems with friendships appear?A. One is selfish.B. One is alone.C. One is too anxious.D. One is too busy.5. What's the first and most important thing to be other people's friend?A. Not to hurt your friends' feelings.B. To give your friends whatever you have.C. To treat your friends as fairly as possible.D. Not to think of your own needs any more.6. What is the text mainly about?A. The Meaning of FriendshipsB. The Importance of FriendshipsC. The Advantages of FriendshipsD. The Problems with Friendships7. What may follow the last paragraph of the text?A. How to make many friends.B. How to keep friends happy.C. How to treat friends correctly.D. How to solve friendship issues.CHoneybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings toproduce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.As with many scientific advances-IsaacNewton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt-Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surfaceproducing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect localPasadenahoneybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs forpropulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they-predicted.Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.8. What does the author intend to show by mentioningNewtonandFranklin?A. Roh’s admiration for them.B. Roh’s chance discovery about bees.C. Their outstanding talent for science.D. Their similar achievements in discovery.9. What plays the most vital role in a bee’s moving forward on water?A. The air weight.B. Its leg extension.C. The water movement.D. Its continuous wingbeat.10. What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Fast flightB. Driving force.C. Pulling speed.D. Explosive power.11. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Honeybees can surf to safety.B. Bees help scientists make inventions.C. Insects can adapt to the environment.D. Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.DElizabeth Bishop is considered one of the best American poets of the 20th century. She was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1911. Her dad died when she was just a baby and her mom never recovered from the loss. She went to live with her grandparents in Nova Scotia, Canada when she was five. Eventually Bishop attended Vassar College, where she began to write poetry.At Vassar she discovered Marianne Moore's poetry and met Ms Moore and began their life-long friendship. She later met poet Robert Lowell. She wrote tons and tons of letters to both of them, which is good for us becausewe would otherwise know very little of her personal life.Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979. She would spend years working on a single poem. Her poems are not the result of hasty scribbling (匆忙乱写) on paper while eating breakfast. She would look through drafts of poems again and again and improve them until they were as close to perfect as she could get them.Reading Elizabeth Bishop is like being transported to the very place, the very moment she's writing about. She leads us to a microscope so we can see every smallest part of the scene. It seems that she's always asking us to notice more, and more until the poem is so clear in our minds that it's almost painful—like a light that's too bright.12. What do we know about Bishop's early life?A. She was mainly brought up by her grandparents.B. She spent her childhood mainly in Worcester.C. She was always encouraged by her parents.D. She started to write poems at five.13. Why are Bishop's letters to Moore and Lowell important?A. They have a deep influence on other poets.B. They offer much information about her life.C. They help us study Moore and Lowell's poetry.D. They prove she had friendships with famous poets.14. What can we say about Bishop's poetic creation?A. She liked to write in the morning.B. She could write poems at high speed.C. She tried her best to achieve perfection.D. She published hundreds of books of poetry.15. Which word can be used to best describe the style of Bishop’s poems?A. Enthusiastic.B. Romantic.C. Humorous.D. Exact.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。

山东省聊城一中高三4月线上模拟英语试题

2020届山东省聊城一中高三4月线上模拟英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择Laura Sides was a psychology major at the University of Nottingham in 2004. She first noticed signs of her dad’s developing dementia(痴呆) when she moved to Nottingham. She said, "Dad was a doctor, so he knew exactly what had happened to him, but people try to hide it when they are ill. Then, I came home for my 21st birthday and arranged to meet him, but he never showed up as he’d forgotten. That’s when I knew something serious had happened."So, aged 21, she decided to leave university and look after him herself. She lived close by, popping in every day to make sure he was eating, and that the house was tidy, before heading off to her work.Besides challenging moments, there was a time when looking after her dad was a pure joy. "We’d wake up, I’d ask what he wanted to do that day, and however ridiculous the adventure is, off we’d go."Sadly, in 2009, 5 years later, Laura lost her father. Before he died, Laura went to a hospital appointment with him, where doctors mentioned that his form of Alzheimer’s disease was genetic meaning there was a fifty-fifty chance that she had inherited it. For several years Laura agonised over whether to be tested, finally finding out in August 2017 that she has the APP gene, meaning that, like him, she will develop the condition within a decade.At first, she struggled, feeling as if her life lacked purpose. Then, during a sleepless night in the summer of 2018, she decided at around 2 a.m. to enter the 2019 London Marathon sponsored by the charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK.She hoped to start the conversation around early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and to encourage people to talk about it more openly. "I rememb er when Dad was ill, people wouldn’t know how to react, but I want to be honest and open," she added. "The more information we can get, the less of a taboo(忌讳) we will feel. That said, the support I’ve received so far after going public has been amazing —that’s what is carrying me through."1.Laura noticed her father’s dementia when .A.her father told her his condition in personB.people nearby informed her of his father’s conditionC.her father forgot his own birthday partyD.her father forgot to attend her 21-year-old birthday party2.The underlined word "agonised" in Paragraph 4 probably means .A.excited B.struggledC.shocked D.delighted3.Laura started the open talk in the hope of .A.getting people to talk about Alzheimer’s disease openlyB.ear ning some money to help treat her Alzheimer’s diseaseC.making herself stronger to fight against Alzheimer’s diseaseD.raising funds for charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s disease Research UK 4.Which words can best describe Laura?A.Caring and positive. B.Careful and honest.C.Patient and cautious. D.Devoted and modest.Life on the street is a constant struggle for homeless people. In times of extreme weather conditions, that struggle becomes even more difficult. Recently, homeless people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldn't find shelter for the night.Thankfully, one local woman refused to let that happen. On January 30,2018, 34-year-old Candice Payne, a local managing broker, was lucky enough to have shelter from the dangerous conditions.“It was - 20℃, and I knew they were going to be sleeping on ice and I had to do something,” said Payne. Payne started brainstorming different ways she could possibly help. Finally,she decided to see if there were any rooms available at local inns and hotels that she could get to help those stuck on the street.For Payne, her mission was personal. According to Payne, her husband, Carlos Callahan,had lived on the streets at one point in his life. Based on his experiences, Payne knew that the homeless people still out on the street desperately needed help and that if she didn't step up to help, no one likely would.However, when Payne explained what she was trying to do,many of the local hotels refused to allow her to pay for the rooms as they didn't want homeless people to stay in their rooms. “No one wanted them, but one hotel, the Amber Inn, was nice enough to allow me to buy the rooms,” said Payne.Payne's selfless act made news across the country. However, she insisted she had neverdo ne it for attention. “I am a regular person, ” said Payne, who spent thousands of dollars of her own money to help complete strangers.“It all sounded like a rich person did this, but I’m just a little black girl from the South Side. ”5.What does the under lined word “ that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Locals living on the street‘B.The homeless freezing to death.C.The extreme weather.D.The shelter for the homeless.6.How did Candice Payne help the homeless people?A.By drawing public attention.B.By giving them money directly.C.By taking them to her own house.D.By buying hotel rooms for them.7.What may contribute to Payne’s nice act?A.Her husband's past experiences.B.The requests from the homeless.C.Her desire to become famous.D.The coldness of local hotels.8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A Black Fighter Changes the WorldB.A Woman’s Curiosity Brings a RewardC.A Regular Woman Makes a DifferenceD.A Couple's Brave Act Moves the CountryBeing "young is associated with all the good things in life - beauty, hope, and energy. But youth also has negative associations - impulsiveness, trouble -making, and irresponsibility. This negative side seems to be what society focuses on more, which is why young people have mostly been considered as idle and difficult.But when it comes to Generation Z - those born between 1996 and 2010 - this stereotype doesn't seem to apply anymore.In Japan, for example, Gen Z-ers are less likely to buy on impulse, but take into consideration more a product's true value. They' re looking at the companies, not just theproducts," Masahiko Uotani, CEO of Japanese cosmetics company Shiseido, told Bloomberg. They're asking, 'Are they really delivering value to the society? Are they promoting diversity and inclusion?"Gen Z-ers are also more grounded than we' ve expected them to be. According to a recent survey by Bank of America, more than half of young adults aged between 18 and 23 said they were planning to buy a house within five years. And they' re not just saying it - they are willing to make sacrifices for it, including getting a second job and saving money for down payment instead of spending it on a vacation."Despite their young age, this group is pragmatic and actively planning for their future," D.Steve Boland, head of Consumer Lending at Bank of America, told USA Today. "They have a clear vision how they are willing to help themselves in order to make it happen.Social issues are also at the center of concern of Gen Z-ers, who take themselves as a changing force of the world. In India, for example, young people who have just reached the voting age are eager to vote for a new leader who is capable of solving problems that matter the most to them, including pollution, unemployment and women' s safety.As a Gen-Zer yourself, what is your plan for the future?9.What do the underlined words this stereotype" in paragraph2 refer to ?A.Being young is good.B.Gen Z-ers are born after 1996.C.The traditional poor impressions on the youth.D.The associations with young people.10.We can infer from the third paragraph that______________.A.Gen Z-ers in Japan are pickyB.The Gen Z-ers are self-centeredC.The Gen Z-ers care little about productsD.The Gen Z-ers are wise when shopping11.What's Steve Boland's attitude to the Gen Z-ers ?A.Approving. B.Negative.C.Indifferent. D.Critical.12.Which of the following words may best describe the Gen Z-era?A.Confident and independent. B.Visionary and responsible. C.Persistent and down-to-earth. D.Active and creative.Self-driving cars have been backed by the hope that they will save lives by getting involved in fewer crashes with fewer injuries and deaths than human-driven cars. But so far,most comparisons between human drivers and automated vehicles have been unfair.Crash statistics for human-driven cars are gathered from all sorts of driving situations,and on all types of roads. However,most of the data on self-driving cars' safety have been recorded often in good weather and on highways,where the most important tasks are staying in the car's own lane and not getting too close to the vehicle ahead. Automated cars are good at those tasks,but so are humans.It is true that self-driving cars don't get tired,angry,frustrated or drunk. But neither can they yet react to uncertain situations with the same skill or anticipation of an attentive human driver. Nor do they possess the foresight to avoid potential perils. They largely drive from moment to moment,rather than think ahead to possible events literally down the road.To a self-driving car,a bus full of people might appear quite similar to an uninhabited corn field. Indeed,deciding what action to take in an emergency is difficult for humans,but drivers have sacrificed themselves for the greater go od of others. An automated system’s limited understanding of the world means it will almost never evaluate(评估) a situation the same way a human would. And machines can't be programmed in advance to handle every imaginable set of events.Some people may argue that the promise of simply reducing the number of injuries and deaths is enough to support driverless cars. But experience from aviation(航空) shows that as new automated systems are introduced,there is often an increase in the rate of disasters.Therefore comparisons between humans and automated vehicles have to be performed carefully. To fairly evaluate driverless cars on how well they fulfill their promise of improved safety,it's important to ensure the data being presented actually provide a true comparison. After all,choosing to replace humans with automation has more effects than simply aone-for-one exchange.13.What makes the comparison between self-driving cars and human-driven cars unfair? A.Self-driving cars never get tired. B.Statistics are collected differently. C.Machines can make decisions faster. D.Self-driving cars know the world better. 14.What does the underlined word “perils” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A.Dangers. B.Self-driving cars.C.Pedestrians. D.Human-driven cars.15.In which aspect can self-driving cars beat human-driven cars?A.Driving steadily. B.Climbing steep slopes. C.Evaluating the cost of loss. D.Making complex decisions.16.Why does the author write this text?A.To support human-driven cars.B.To show his doubt about self-driving cars.C.To call for exact evaluation of self-driving cars.D.To stress the importance of reducing car accidents.Empathy (同理心)is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.What Is Empathy?— Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct values. Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone's feelings; criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to understand their feelings and subsequently gaining their trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents relate to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.Meet Emotional Needs—When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.It's a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give their emotions names (for example, jealousy, anger, and love) and teach them that these are normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situationswhere other people are experiencing emotions. Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.17.Why is it that the next generation are taught to have empathy?A.Because people tend to center themselves. B.Because everyone lacks empathy. C.Because empathy is a strange quality. D.Because it's better to give than to receive. 18.Which situation can empathy be used in?A.When a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.B.When a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.C.When a criminal is cheating a victim.D.When a dancer is dancing to music.19.What does the underlined sentence "An empty jug cannot fill a cup" mean?A.An empty jug is too small to hold a cup.B.It's a must to talk to kids about emotions.C.Adults should set an example to kids.D.Kids give empathy with their emotional needs met first.20.What is the main topic of the passage?A.How to train kids to have empathy.B.How to distinguish sympathy and empathy.C.How to help kids finish empathy-related tasks.D.Whether kids can be trained to be more empathetic.A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for inst ance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivationallows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.Willpower may also be made less vulnerable(脆弱)to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year’s Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhaust ed in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all. 21.From the studies in the passage we learn that .A.people have unlimited self-controlB.high motivation ensures one’s successC.willpower is hardly completely exhaustedD.too many temptations often lead to failure22.The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most pro bably means . A.make use of B.run out ofC.build D.increase23.The author compares self –control to muscles .A.to prove the long-term effect of willpowerB.to show the significance of regular exerciseC.to argue that self-control can he easily used upD.to explain the benefits of practicing self-control24.To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?A.“I will give up dessert and do exercise.”B.“I will set three goals this new semester.”C.“I will read an English novel every month.”D.“I will keep myself from any temptation.”二、七选五We are surrounded by messages trying to get our attention. Advertisers, politicians and other groups all try to get us to agree with them. 25.Propaganda is not always a bad thing, but it often hides the truth about a topic. Its very similar to advertising, whose goal is to get people to buy something, while propaganda is to change what people believe.Propaganda TechniquesTo create propaganda, a common technique is name-calling. A politician might call someone a traitor or liar, which makes the other person look bad. Another is the trend technique. People want to be on the side in the favor. 26.,Some propaganda is based on fear. It scares people into choosing a certain side or taking action, which might not be bad. Anti—smoking campaigns are one example. They may scare people into thinking that if they smoke, they will get cancer.27.Propaganda is used by many groups, such as businesses, politicians and the government .It is spread through posters, television and radio. The Internet makes it easy to send messages to the whole world.Types of PropagandaPolitical propaganda has been around as long as there have been politicians 28.People have used it for many years. War propaganda began during World War I, more than 100 years ago.To see if propaganda is saying the truth, people need to do extra work. For example, ads might always sound like they're true. But before you believe them, try to think about who created and paid for them. Find out why they did it. 29.A.Propaganda TargetsB.Propaganda MediumsC.Another word for this is propagandaD.So most people will agree with those politiciansE.Then, you can decide if they're being honest or notF.However, religious propaganda was actually the first official oneG.People might join someone who claims to be popular or winningChoosing a major is a very important thing in our life. However, it can be extremely challenging. So it’s necessary to l earn some simple tips that much easier. 30.. And how does that choice affect your future career? We can help guide you in choosing a major.Your major is your primary field of study in your undergraduate (大学的)program. It is the subject in which you earn your bachelor’s degree. After completing a list of general education courses, you spend the rest of the time studying one subject of your choice. 31..For many students, it's best to try out different classes to figure out a major you’ll like, but you need to have a couple of solid choices. 32., you should begin taking courses you are required to complete before graduation, so it will decrease your chances of needing to switch majors later because you already know what to expect.33., you should begin thinking about how your field will lead to a job as soon as possible.Consider clubs, research programs and part-time jobs related to potential career choices for your major.For more career-specific majors like nursing and engineering, the majority of your studies will include skills that can be used in a future job. 34.. The sooner you begin working in a lab, on research projects or helping as a teaching assistant for a professor, the better you'll be able to figure out your career.A.You have to think of ways to choose a majorB.Be sure that you choose a major that suits your interestsC.Once you have a better idea of which major you like bestD.While your major may or may not lead directly to a careerE.Do some research to find out which majors can help you get that jobF.Roughly one-third to one-half of your courses will be related to your majorG.However, you should still consider doing activities outside of the classroom to better prepare youOne of my earliest memories was watching my mom talking on our old phone. I was fascinated that she could talk to someone who wasn't actually in the room with her. 35.I was wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldn't see.36.Later, we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room. Then came computers and smart phones. These days I can send an e-mail around the world in a second. My daughter's smart phone has a hundred apps and a dozen social media accounts. She stores all ofher information in a mysterious place known as "the cloud", where she can take it out at any time. It seems that we are more connected in this world than ever before.37.Few take time to talk face to face. Instead of looking into eyes of our beloved ones, we stare at our screens. It seems as if the most connected generation is also the loneliest.Don't let technology take our time and ruin our life. Make the time to meet and to communicate with each other. Take a walk on the beach with a friend. Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on. 38.Remember that we are here to love each other, help each other and make this world a better place. 39.But when it can't, turn it off.A.That was a long time ago.B.Connect offline as well as online.C.We should communicate with each other with phones off.D.Smart phones have both advantages and disadvantages.E.When your technology can help to do these things, then use it.F.However, what bothers me is that we rarely associate with each other nowadays.G.When she left the room, I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a while.三、用单词的适当形式完成短文语法填空Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) isn't 40.( wide ) supported by most Westerners. 41., this is starting to change.

They say these defects result from epigenetic changes that can potentially affect multiple generations.The study, published in theAmerican Journal of Stem Cells, suggest both parents contribute to the health status of their offspring — a common sense conclusion which science is only now beginning to demonstrate, says the study's senior investigator, Joanna Kitlinska, PhD, an associate professor in biochemistry, and molecular and cellular biology.“We know the nutritional, hormonal and psychological environment provided by the mother permanently influences organ structure, cellular response and gene expression in her offspring,” she says.“But our study shows the same thing to be true with fathers — his lifestyle, and how old he is, can be reflected in molecules that control gene function,” she says. “In this way, a father can affect not only his immediate offspring, but future generations as well.”For example, a newborn can be diagnosed with fetal (胎儿的) alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), even though the mother has never consumed alcohol, Kitlinska says. “Up to 75 percent of children with FASD have biological fathers who are alcoholics, suggesting that preconceptual paternal alcohol consumption negatively impacts their offspring.”Advanced age of a father is correlated with elevated rates of certain diseases, and birth defects in his children.A limited diet during a father’s preadolescence has been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular death in his children and grandchildren. Paternal obesity is linked to enlarged fat cells, changes in metabolic regulation, diabetes, obesity and development of brain cancer. Psychosocial stress on the father is linked to defective behavioral traits in his offspring. And paternal alcohol use leads to decreased newborn birth weight, markedreduction in overall brain size and impaired cognitive function.“This new field of inherited paternal epigenetics needs to be organized into clinically applicable recommendations and lifestyle alternations,” Kitlinska says. “And to really understand the epigenetic influences of a child, we need to study the interplay between maternal and paternal effects, as opposed to considering each in isolation.”4. What’s the message the writer conveys in the passage?A. Both parents contribute to the health status of their offspring.B. Father’s age and lifestyle are tied to birth defects.C. Father plays a more critical role in birth defects.D. Birth defects can potentially affect multiple generations.5. What can we infer from the example in Paragraph 5?A. FASD can only be diagnosed in a newborn whose father is addicted to alcohol.B. A newborn will not contract FASD if his mother has never consumed alcohol.C. A father’s lifestyle can negatively impact his offspring.D. Most children have biological fathers who are alcoholics.6. Which of the following situations is less likely to lead to children’s birth defects?A. Having a father with a limited diet.B. Having a father who is an alcoholic.C. Having an overweight father.D. Having a father with psychosocial stress.7. What will the research probably continue to focus on in the part that follows?A. The maternal epigenetic influences of a child.B. The ways to avoid negative paternal influence on children.C. The clinical application of the research findings.D. The interaction between maternal and paternal effects.CIn recent years,people have been focusing on the quality of food that children are fed in schools. Former First Lady Michelle Obama worked hard to make school lunches healthier, resulting in new menus that featured less fat and salt, more fruits and vegetables.But high-quality nutrients count for little when there is no time to eat them. Amy Ettinger reports, "There is no national standard on how much time kids get to eat that meal. " And with schools being occupied with test scores, teachers are using every available minute for lesson time, which often leaves kids without enough eatingtime.This is a problem because the length of the school lunch period is a key factor (因素) in how much nutrition children actually gel. Research has found that having less than 20 minutes for lunch results in children consuming much less of their lunch than those with more than 20 minutes.This is really terrible. For many low-income kids, that cafeteria lunch can represent half their daily energy intake. There's also another terrible message that it's acceptable to wolf down food as fast as possible before rushing off to your next class. Cafeteria time should be a chance to interact with friends, to learn important social skills, to observe and share varieties of food. It should be a break in day, a chance to relax before heading into the afternoon.As Ettinger explains,some parents are hoping the National Parent Teacher Association will address this issue. This, in turn, would help parents push their kids' schools for better lunch time standards. Meanwhile, if you have a kid in this situation, you can help by packing a healthy lunch to spare them the cafeteria lineup. Make the foods easy to eat, provide non-messy snacks that can be eaten in class, put great effort into serving a hearty breakfast, and sit down as a family for dinner whenever possible.8. What did Michelle Obama make efforts to improve?A. The quality of school lunches.B. The performance of school kids.C. The school lunch time kids have.D. The eating habits of school kids.9. What happens to children in American schools?A. They are occupied with many tests.B. They fail to get along with each other.C. They consume more meat than before.D. They have less lunch time than before.10. How are low-income kids influenced by the problem at school?A. They can't go to classes on time.B. They can't have enough energy.C. They can't share different kinds of food.D. They can't hold a positive attitude toward life.11.What can parents do to solve the problem?A. Prepare a better lunch for their kids.B. Stop their kids going to the cafeteria.C. Force schools to make adjustments to lunch.D. Guide their kids on how to pack their own lunch.DThe man who invented the World Wide Web a few decades ago is calling for major changes to make it better for humans. In an open letter published on Tuesday, Berners-Lee said that the web was used by half the world's population.Berners-Lee said the web had clearly created great opportunities for humans to progress and had made life easier for millions of people. Actually, it also has offered opportunities to groups traditionally not heard a new voice in society. However, he added that the web had also provided new ways for cheats to commit crimes (犯罪).“Against the background of news stories about how the web is misused, it's understandable that many people feel afraid and unsure if the web is really a force for good,” he wrote.Berners-Lee created a group called the World Wide Web Foundation. He islooking for help from governments, companies and people to become more involved in shaping the web to do more good for humans. His actual plan is called the “Contract (合同) for the Web”.Under this contract, governments are called on to take steps to makesure all people can connect to the Internet and that personal privacy is respected. Businesses are asked to keep the Internet prices low so more people can use the web. In addition, companies should respect privacy and develop technologies that aim to put people first.The plan also calls on people to create materials for the web and work with others to make sure that is rich, quality information for everyone. Besides, people should seek to “build strong communities that respect personal speech and human equality.” “The path to make the Internet better is the responsibility of everyone who uses it,” Bermers-Lee added, “Making big changes will not be easy, but will be very well worth it in the end.”12. What does Berners-Lee think of the World Wide Web?A. It is his greatest regret.B. It stops the progress of humans.C. It needs improving.D. It does more harm than good.13. What's wrong with the web according to Berners-Lee?A. It is misused for bad purposes.B. It is misunderstood by all people.C. It blocks out a new voice in society.D. It is expensive for half the world’s population.14. What are governments called on to do under the “Contract for the Web”?A. Put technology first.B. Create materials for the web.C. Popularize the Internet.D. Make the Internet free of charge.15. What should people do with the Internet in Berners-Lee's opinion?A. Be responsible for it.B. Absolutely reject it.C. Completely rely on it.D. Be unconcerned about it.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。

expressed regret over his handling of the bushfire crisis damaging the country.The PM has faced mounting criticism over his government's response to the bushfires and its climate policy.Since September,bushfires have killed at least 28 people and destroyed thousands of homes.Mr Morrison's government has been accused of not doing enough to address climate change,which experts say could increase the intensity,frequency and scale of bushfires.But in the interview,the PM defended his government's approach,which he said took into account the effect of climate change on the bushfires.Each year there is a fire season during the Australian summer,with hot,dry weather making it easy for blazes (火焰)to start and spread.Natural causes are to blame most of the time,like lightning strikes in drought﹣affected forests.Humans can also be to blame.NSW police have charged at least 24 people with deliberately starting bushfires,and have taken legal action against 183 people for fire﹣related offenses since November,according to a police statement.Bushfire conditions eased on Saturday,giving firefighters a temporary short break in areas where blazes are still raging.But authorities have warned that the huge fires,spurred by high temperatures,wind anda three﹣year drought,will persist until there is substantial rainfall.About half a billion animals have been affected by the fires across NSW,with millions likely dead.The figures for NSW include birds,reptiles,and mammals,except bats.It also excludes insects and frogs,so the real sum is almost certain to be higher,the ecologists said.Almost a third of koalas in NSW may have been killed in the fires,and a third of their habitat has been destroyed,said Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley.(1)Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A.The bushfires cause little damage to people's life in Australia.B.The PM criticized that his government didn't take appropriate methods.C.The PM took active measures to deal with the bushfires damaging the country.D.Experts say the government's inadequate action could worsen the bushfires.(2)Which factor has made the huge fires more serious according to authorities?A.wet weatherB.lightning strikeC.long﹣lasting droughtD.heavy rainfall(3)What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.More animals have been affected than the number shows.B.a billion animals face extinction due to the fires.C.Koalas are in an immediate danger of dying out.D.The huge fires have no influence on insects and frogs.(4)Where is the passage probably from?A.A sci﹣fi book.B.A news website.C.A fashion magazine.D.A travel journal.3.(10分)Ancient Greek used zodiac signs (星座)to judge a person's character traits.Today people are still fascinated with trying to figure out people's personality type based on science.According to The Washington Post,a new study published in the journal Nature Human Behavior on September 17,could tell us something more about the four personality types:reserved (内向的),role models,average and self﹣centered.In this study,participants were asked to rate a number of written statements related to the five mainpersonality traits:extroversion(外向性),agreeableness,conscientiousness (责任性),emotional stability and openness.Researchers found self﹣centered people scored higher on extroversion,but lower than average on the other four traits."These are people you don't want to hang out with," coauthor William Revelle,told the Daily Mail.Members of the reserved group were lacking in openness and extroversion,but were more agreeable and conscientious.These people are usually unwilling to try new things,but are kind and cooperative,according to the study.People defined as role models scored well in most traits,but were weak in emotional stability."These are people who are dependable and open to new ideas," said Luis Amaral,co﹣director of the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems in the US.Besides these three personality types,a totally new type was found:average,which gets average scores in all traits.Females are more likely than males to fall into this type.The study also shows that there is connection between personality type,gender and age.For example,role models are usually seniors,while the traits of the self﹣centered type mainly fall in teenage males.However,"certain facts are changing," Amaral told USA Today."As people mature and grow,their personality also matures and grows."(1)Which type of people are you probably unwilling to pass the time with according to William Revelle?A.Self﹣centered.B.Role models.C.Reserved.D.Average.(2)Which words can best describe reserved people?A.Extroverted and agreeable.B.Open﹣minded and considerate.C.Reliable and pleasant.D.Cooperative and aggressive.(3)What can be concluded from the last two paragraphs?A.Most young people are self﹣centered.B.Role models are often middle﹣aged people.C.Personality type has little to do with gender or age.D.People's personality tends to become better as they age.(4)Which of the following is the best title?A.Personality Types Based on ScienceB.Personality Types and AgeC.Zodiac Signs and PersonalitiesD.Extroverted or Introverted Personality4.(10分)Nowadays,more and more employers and employees work online either full﹣time or part﹣time,and that number is continuing growing.It's believed that flying around the world for face﹣to﹣face company meetings is a waste of time and money.An effective choice to get rid of it is to use Web meetings.A large of group presentations,training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face﹣to﹣face experience.Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters.Besides,Web meetings can be recorded for later us.Presenters can take real﹣time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting.Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users' desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents.If so the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention,and how long the distraction lasts.In this way,the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.Web meetings can work well because they're hosted on a server(服务器).Images from the presenter's desktop are taken,uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have access to the server.Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and "serve" them back to thousands of users at the same time.Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers.They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on﹣site,or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the off﹣site provider worry about hosting the meetings.The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings,the average number of people attending the meetings,and the quality of engineering and information technology.Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business.With all the technologies today,the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.(1)In what way do some Web meeting software programs help improve the meetings?A.By tracking the users' state.B.By giving useful suggestions.C.By sharing detailed technical data.D.By providing other presenters' videos.(2)It's better for a company to buy a Web meeting server if it.A.relies little on the quality of ITB.holds Web meetings twice a weekC.doesn't have so many employeesD.has branches in the same city or province(3)What can we infer about Web meetings?A.Web meetings help presenters stay focused.B.Web meetings work without the help of a server.C.Web meetings determine the quality of engineering.D.Web meetings are likely to be widely used.(4)The purpose of this passage is.A.to advertise servers used in Web meetingsB.to presuade companies to hold web meetingsC.to introduce the benefits of using Web meetingsD.to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Web meetings第二节(共1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.选项中有两项为多余选项.5.(12.5分)The year 79 AD would have seemed﹣just,like any,other year in the Roman city of Pompeii.Each day,the streets were filled,with the sounds of busy shops and customers enjoying the city's many cafes.(1)No one gave any thought to Mount Vesuvius,a volcano close to Pompeii.Vesuvius had been inactive for years.The soil in that area was good for agriculture.(2)But the sleeping mountain was about to wake up…The eruption when it happened,was unlike anything witnessed before.A huge cloud of hot ash rock rose into the air,covering the surrounding area.A young man,watching from a distance,recorded how the thick dark cloud spread everywhere.(3)They took what they could as they tried to get away from the city.But many were trapped by falling buildings.Suddenly,there was a powerful flow of gas,ash and rock.It moved down Vesuvius at a speed of about 450 kilometres an hour.(4)The city was covered by up to six metres of ash.Pompeii became a city frozen in time.(5)Many bodies have been found in the same positions in which they fell.Work continues to uncover the rest of the city﹣and the ancient stories it has to tell.A.Pompeii was left in total darkness.B.The city was rediscovered in the mid﹣18th century.C.The people of Pompeii had no reason to fear the volcano.D.People bathed and chatted happily in the beautifully built baths.E.He described how people were frightened by the sudden disaster.F.When it reached Pompeii,it immediately killed anyone in its path.G.Smoke,mud,flames and burning stones spewed

No matter whether your idea of a hike is a leisure walk or climbing the highest mountain on Earth, we've got you covered. Below are four best hikes inthe world.Torres del Paine W CircuitLocation (位置): Patagonia. ChileDistance: 37 + milesTime: 5~6 daysBest time to go: October to JanuaryThe W Circuit is one of the most recommended hikes you'll find. Not only will you appreciate the diverse landscapes and striking granite pillars (花岗岩柱子), but you'll probably meet some new friends along the way.Grand Canyon Rim - to - Rim HikeLocation: Arizona, the United StatesDistance: 48 milesTime: 1~3 daysBest time to go: May to June, September to OctoberThere's no better way to experience one of the greatest wonders in the world. Located in one of the USA's most beautiful parks, the views are ly appealing. Just make sure you're prepared for the challenge.Trek to PetraLocation: JordanDistance: 47 milesTime: 5~ 6 daysBest time to go: October to AprilTake the road less traveled through the Kingdom of Jordan and experience one of the seven wonders of the world. Hike through canyons, gorges and ridges, and see tombs and temples along the way all while avoidingcrowds of tourists.Yosemite Grand TraverseLocation: California, the United StatesDistance: 60 milesTime: 6~7 daysBest time to go: July to SeptemberKnown for some of the best hiking in the world, Yosemite National Park is famous for its views and huge sequoia (红杉) trees. Praised byNational Geographic, the Yosemite Grand Traverse will take you through waterfalls and green mountaintops.1.Which of the following is the best time for the hike in Patagonia, Chile?A.AprilB.MayC.AugustD.December2.Where should you go for a less crowded hike?A.JordanB.Patagonia, ChileC.Arizona, the United StatesD.California, the United States3.What can you do along the Yosemite Grand Traverse?A.Plant sequoia treesB.Appreciate waterfallsC.Visit local templesD.Climb granite pillarsBHave you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight? How annoying! However, scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the excess energy from food as fat. These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day. Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off” the extra food without making fat, so they rarely have weight problems.To show that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat. Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic (基因的) factors. They also believe they have now identified the genes that may cause this tendency. These genes, according to the scientists, get passed down the generations. Armed with thisknowledge, they believe it may be possible to develop medicines thatcan target the genes and stop people from gaining weight.The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the numbers of people who are overweight continues to grow. In theUnited States, over seventy percent of the population have weight problems. This means they are at risk of illness such as high blood pressure and heart disease.Current medicines for weight control do not work very well because they can have serious side effects, such as heart problems. However, it takes a long time to develop and thoroughly test new drugs. Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise. This will not only help people avoid becoming overweight, but also help them stay healthy and energetic.4. According to the scientists, some people ________.A. are able to stay thin because of genetic factorsB. can eat what they want and stay healthy foreverC. usually keep doing exercise to lose their weightD. don’t eat anything every day but still put on weight5. Some people don’t need to worry about weight problems because ________.A. they eat many vegetablesB. they eat less than othersC. they don’t store any energy from food as fatD. they can burn off the extra food without making fat6. What can we learn from the passage?A. Fewer people will have weight problems in the future.B. People with weight problems may suffer from heart trouble.C. We now have good medicine for people with weight problems.D. The result of the experiments on mice and humans are different.7. What does the last paragraph imply?A. Current medicine solve weight problems well.B. We should exercise regularly and eat properly.C. Taking exercise every day may cause heart problems.D. Testing new drugs is hard because of the side effects.CMy friend and I went traveling inTasmania,Australialast December. We settled in our Airbnb accommodation, a cozy apartment, not long after we arrived inHobart, the capital city.After briefing us on the kitchen's facilities and the whereabouts of the bedroom and bathroom, our hostess Geraldine resumed her ironing work, which seemed to have been interrupted by our arrival.She was ironing what looked like security guard uniforms, and we soon found out that she worked in a local prison. And when she detected the curiosity in our tones, she offered a tour at the prison in her SUV. My friend and I exchanged a “this is incredible” look and said “yes” immediately.As we drove, she told us about the buildings that we were passing, the local market and how to get to MONA,Tasmania's well-known contemporary art gallery.And of course we got to hear some background information about the prison. According to our hostess, it currently holds Martin Bryant, a notorious criminal who cheated 35 people out of their property. We could see the high level of security from the layers upon layers of wires surrounding the gray structure inside.Getting to know a city in such a local way is something I would never be able to do by talking to a hotel receptionist, and this is what I like best about the apartment-sharing experience, not to mention the fact that it's usually cheaper than hotel rooms.But I'm fully aware of the risks of Airbnb, which is why I did my homework before booking online—I checked the reviews of the accommodation to avoid possible safety problems.That said, it is the mutual trust between a host and a guest that fascinates me—the interesting feeling of building a bond with a total stranger.8. Why did the hostess drive us to the prison?A. She planned to send the uniform to the prison.B. She found our curiosity about the prison.C. She wanted to show off her SUV.D. She needed to offer a tour for us.9. Which of the following can best explain the word “notorious” in Paragraph 5?A. Unfamiliar to everyone.B. Particularly disappointing.C. Well known for being bad.D. Extremely generous to others.10. Compared with hotels, what is the writer's favorite of the Airbnb accommodation?A. It is cheaper in most cases.B. It supplies a better living condition.C. It offers a much safer accommodation.D. It provides a chance to know local culture.11. What does the author think of finding accommodation on Airbnb?A. Disapproving.B. Supportive.C. Neutral.D. Doubtful.DJapan's prime minister encouraged the decision to ban viewers, even family members, by issuing a state of emergency order in Tokyo earlier this month in response to rising COVID-19 case numbers.From the perspective of sports psychologists, an Olympics without fans is a real-life science experiment that is helping researchers and clinicians to comb through the true impact of a crowd of fans on its players—and on viewers at home. The strange circumstances under which the games are held may place unexpected pressure on some athletes. On Tuesday, superstar gymnast Simone Biles dropped out of the women's team event, telling teammates and reporters she wasn't in the right “headspace” to compete. “It's been really stressful this Olympic Games. There are a lot of different variables going into it,” Biles told the Washington Post.The 2020 Summer Olympics bears similarities and differences to other major sporting events without viewers. The English Premier League supplemented (增加) game broadcasts with crowd noise from the soccer video game FIFA 20, mixed with game audio in real time. A Taiwanese baseball team and German soccer team began populating stands with cardboard cutouts of fans, and the trend caught on internationally.Jamey Houle, the lead sports psychologist for Ohio State University Athletics and a former Al-American gymnast, says competitive athletes are trained in visualization— imagining performing a certain action or motion, such as doing a roundoff back handspring in gymnastics. Without moving a muscle, players using visualization can solidify neural (神经的) connections and activate their motor cortex (皮层). To visualize most effectively, Houle says, athletes working with sports psychologists will try to simulate as closely as possible the conditions of actual gameplay. Empty stadiums may thus have a measurable impact on players' performance. This phenomenon is grounded in a psychological concept called “social facilitation”, referring to a change in a person's performance that occurs when others are around compared to when a person is alone.12. What caused Biles to drop out of the women's team event?A. The poor physical condition.B. The absence of the audience.C. The fiercely competitive event.D. The influence of crowds of fans.13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. The Taiwanese baseball team is a success.B. The tendency mentioned is popular among some sporting events.C. The 2020 Summer Olympics is stricter in preventing the pandemic.D. The crowd noise plays a leading role in the English Premier League.14. How does Houle explain the impact of empty stadiums on players' performance?A. By doing a roundoff back handspring.B. By simulating the conditions of actual gameplay.C. By using the concept called social facilitation.D. By changing the viewers of a player.15. What message does the author mainly convey in the text?A. Athletes should be trained in visualization.B. Audience should be admitted to the Olympics.C. Social facilitation is helpful to sporting events.D. Viewers present may influence players' performance.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。

ABooks that can help teens manage anxietyChildren experience anxiety differently from adults, and it also looks different in each child. Fortunately, books can serve as tools for guiding children through the anxious thoughts and feelings they may experience. The following are four books that can help children effectively manage their anxiety.The Healthy Coping Coloring Book and Journal by Pooky KnightsmithThis coloring book is specifically designed for children aged 8 to 14 and activities range from coloring to journaling and drawing, all of which are developed to help children deal with troubling situations. The different activities can be beneficial for self-expression.Please Explain Anxiety to Me! by Laurie E. Zelinger and Jordan ZelingerWritten by psychologists, this story breaks down both the physical and emotional symptoms of anxiety. The story compares the natural anxiety kids feel to dinosaurs fearing being threatened in the wild. It explains that some anxiety (for example, a dinosaur’s anxiety about being eaten)can be our body’s way of protecting us from threats.Sea Otter Cove by Lori LiteThis is a book that teaches children how to use proper breathing techniques to calm down, lower stress, and control anger. Through playful sea otters and other delightful characters in the book, chil-dren get to experience belly breathing. This effective, self-calming technique is also known as dia-phragmatic breathing or deep breathing.The Worry Glasses by Donalisa HelsleyThis book is about a little girl named MJ. It tells the story of how she learns to defeat her worries. All through the story, her wonderful counselor Miss Jessica patiently helps her. The book includes a list of exercises designed to relieve kids' anxiety. It also offers tips to parents and adults who live with anxious children.1. What's the common ground of the activities in Pooky Knightsmith's book?A. Encouraging children to express anxiety.B. Helping children increase intelligence.C. Measuring children's mental health.D. Inspiring children's artistic talent.2. What method does Lori Lite offer to lower anxiety levels?A. Journal writing.B. Controling anger.C. Belly breathing.D. Holding breath.3. Which of the four books introduces some work-out to manage anxiety?A. The Healthy Coping Coloring Book and JournalB. Please Explain Anxiety to Me!C. Sea Otter CoveD. The Worry GlassesBA few years ago, I walked into Panera and placed my order. As I sat down, I noticed that at the table next to me, there was an older man with a cap eating his soup alone. At the sight of this, a feeling of sadness began to wash over me. Why was he eating alone? Was he lonely? Did he want someone to keep him company?This wasn't the first time I'd felt sad when I. noticed someone eating alone. I automatically as-sume they're lonely and need someone to be there for them. For some reason, eating with other peopleis the norm. Modern society has evolved to the point where most people eat with others and do almost every activity together. If we need to get lunch before a class, we'd rather ask around to see if someone will come with us. But is it possible we just don't want to appear lonely?For me, it's easy to get pressured to have to be around other people when I see everyone else around me accompanied by a friend almost all the time. So many people are always around someone else, and that may make people think we always need someone with us to feel better about ourselves.But that's not true. We can enjoy being alone not everyone needs to be constantly surrounded by friends to be happy. And we shouldn't be afraid to eat alone if that's what we want to do. We don't have to do what everyone else does.Ultimately, I don't think I'll ever not get sad if I see someone eating alone, but I'll bear in mind that maybe they just want a break from the world, or maybe they prefer it that way. It's important to realize seeing someone doing something alone doesn't always mean they're lonely.4. Why does the author mention her experience at Panera a few years ago?A. To introduce the topic of caring for old people.B. To start the discussion about people eating alone.C. To describe a memorable encounter.D. To illustrate the benefits of eating alone outside.5. What does the author think of the norm of eating with other people?A. It is a good way to avoid awkwardness.B. It helps maintain social connections.C. It is common but deserves questioning.D. It is unreasonable and unacceptable.6. How does the author feel when people around her have company but she doesn't?A. Uncomfortable.B. Isolated.C. Envious.D. Relaxed.7. What message does the author want to convey?A. Social relationships are unnecessary.B. People need to be alone to recharge.C. Loneliness is unavoidable in our daily life.D. Being alone doesn't equate to loneliness.CCrowded streets, noise, and unattractive grey buildings can be boring and stressful. A solution to such problems may lie in nature, which can have calming and renewing power.Introducing vegetation or colorful designs may make cities more livable. However, growing plants or covering buildings in paint to test these approaches is expensive and inconvenient. Moreo-ver, studying these phenomena outdoors can be tricky, as many factors can affect the final results. "Measuring pleasure and motivation in natural settings is extremely hard, explained Prof. Yvonne Delevoye --Turrell of the University of Lille. "Human reactions are sensitive to environmental changes, such as weather or traffic. Consequently, we used virtual reality to measure reactions to these factors in a virtual urban space. "Using virtual reality, the team created an immersive(沉浸式的) urban environment with ei-ther no vegetation or some green vegetation, as well as introduced colorful patterns onto a path. Then they invited students to participate in the study. Wearing a VR headset and walking on the spot, the students spent time exploring the virtual environment. To find out where the volunteers were looking and for how long, each headset included an eye tracker.The researchers found that the students walked more slowly when there was green vegetation present in the experiment, and their heart rate increased. They would spend less time looking at the ground and more time observing their surroundings. These results indicate a pleasurable experience. Bright color patterns alone did not have quite the same uplifting effect as the green vegetation, but they inspired interest and passion of the students and attracted their stare while increasing their heart rate.Virtual reality could be a valuable tool for urban planners, enabling them to virtually test the impact of various factors.

Known as "anosmia", loss of smell can have a substantial effect on our overall wellbeing and quality of life. But while a sudden respiratory infection (呼吸道感染) might lead to a temporary loss of this important sense, your sense of smell may well have been gradually eroding away for years due to something else- air pollution.Exposure to PM2. 5 has previously been linked with smell loss, but typically only in occupa-tional or industrial settings. But new research is now starting to reveal the true scale- and the potential damage caused by the pollution we breathe in every day. On the underside of our brains lies the olfactory bulb (嗅球). This sensitive bit of tissue is essential for the enormously varied picture of the world we get from our sense of smell. It's also our first line of defense against viruses and pollu-tants entering the brain. But, with repeated exposure to PM2. 5, these defenses slowly get worn down."Our data show there's a 1. 6 to 1. 7-fold increased risk of developing anosmia with sustained particulate pollution (粒状物污染), " says Murugappan Ramanathan, a rhinologist. One Mexican study in 2006, which used strong coffee and orange odors showed that residents of Mexico City which often struggles with air pollution -tended 'to have a poorer sense of smell on average than people living in rural areas of the country.So, should we care that air pollution to which we are all exposed -is damaging our sense of smell and causing anosmia? Clearly, the answer is yes. Ramanathan says, "Air quality matters. I think we need tight regulations and control. Many people may not even realize the pollution they are exposed to. But even the everyday, low level air pollution we are exposed to should be taken more seriously.12. What do the underlined words "eroding away" mean in paragraph 1?A. Evolving.B. Becoming weak.C. Becoming sharp.D. Appearing.13. What can we infer from paragraph 2?A. Exposure to PM2. 5 has nothing to do with smell loss.B. The pollution we breathe in on a daily basis may cause harm.C. Our nose stops viruses and pollutants from entering the brain.D. Our defenses will disappear quickly with air pollution exposure.14. What does the study reveal about people in Mexico City?A. They have developed anosmia with air pollution.B. Their sense of smell is poorer than rural people's.C. They often consume strong coffee.D. They tend to have a good sense of smell.15. What will the author probably talk about next?A. How we should react to air pollution.B. What we should do to protect the environment.C. What steps we can take to recover from anosmia.D. How we can improve our life quality.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。

On a human-sized anthill.BJIANLI, Hubei Province, June 2 (Xinhua) — A cruise ship carrying more than 450 people sank in the Yangtze River overnight, which could be China’s worst sinking disaster in decades. As of 6 p.m. Tuesday, 14 peoplehad been rescued from the capsized vessel, with five others confirmed dead. The rest are still missing, although rescuers said there could be more survivors. Strong winds and heavy rain are hampering rescue efforts.The Eastern Star sank in only 15 meters of water “within one or two minutes” of being caught in freak weather in Jianli, according to the ship’s captain and chief engineer who survived the incident. The ship left the eastern Chinese city ofNanjingon May 28 bound forChongqingMunicipality.The ship was carrying 403 passengers, five tour guides, and 46 crew, rather than the previously reported 47. Most passengers were tourists fromShanghaiand its neighboringprovinceofJiangsu, aged between 3 and 83, with most in their 60s and 70s.The 76.5-meter-long and 11-meter-wide vessel has been in service for nearly 20 years and can carry up to 534 people. It is owned by Chongqing Dongfang Shipping. Waterway officials said they have no record of the company being involved in any previous sinking incidents.According to weather forecast, most of the Yangtze basin will be subject to downpours over the next 10 days, with heavy rain expected in the area where the search is underway.Police, waterway authorities and fire departments have sent more than 150 boats and over 4,000 personnel to the scene. The Chinese Navy has sent diving forces to search for the missing. The team is composed of soldiers from the navy’s fleets in the North Sea, East China Sea, andSouth China Sea, as well as students of the Naval University of Engineering. In addition, five helicopters were dispatched fromBeijingandHubei’s provincial capital ofWuhanon Tuesday morning, along with an IL-76 transport plane.4. We can infer from the text that ________.A. the incident was very suddenB. the weather benefited the rescueC. the ship had bad safety recordsD. the ship’s captain was drowned5. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Eastern Star?A. It was overloaded.B. It’s been launched recently.C. It had 454 people on board.D. Its owner met similar incidents.6. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. How people came to the rescue.B. Why the rescue was quite difficult.C. What the rescue force consisted of.D. How the rescue operation went on.7. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to ________.A. informB. explainC. describeD. entertainCConcrete is the world's most consumed material after water. Because it already surrounds us in the built environment, researchers have been exploring the idea of using concrete to store electricity—turning buildings into giant batteries. The idea has been gaining ground as we have come to increasingly rely on renewable energy from the wind and sun: rechargeable batteries are necessary when the breeze dies down or darkness falls.Experimental concrete batteries have only managed to hold a small part of what a traditional battery does. But one team now reports in Buildings that it has developed a rechargeable original model that could represent a more than 900 percent increase in stored charge, compared with earlier attempts.A live-in concrete battery might sound unlikely. Still, "you can make a battery out of a potato," notes Aimee Byrne. In a future where sustainability is key, she likes the idea of buildings that avoid waste by providing shelter and powering electronics.Although the new design stores more than 10 times as much power as earlier attempts, it still has a long way to go: 200 square meters of it "can provide about 8 percent of the daily electricity consumption" of a typical U.S. home, Zhang says.This is not enough to compete with today's rechargeable devices. "We're getting milliamps (毫安) out of concrete batteries—we're not getting amps (安培), "Byrne says." We're getting hours as opposed to days of charge." But she adds that" concrete batteries are completely in their childhood, compared to other battery designs." The earliest batteries were simple andbulky. Researchers experimented with new materials and designs for more than a century to develop today's small devices. Byrne suggests concrete-based energy storage could undergo a similar evolution. "The whole idea is that we're looking far into the future," she says. "We're playing the long game with it."8. What can we learn about the concrete batteries?A. They become increasingly renewable.B. They are the most consumed batteries.C. They are being developed by researchers.D. They will replace energy from the wind and sun.9. Why does Byrne mention a battery out of a potato?A. To show it is easy to build concrete batteries.B. To argue it is possible to develop concrete batteries.C. To make her statement more interesting.D. To call on people to protect the environment.10. What does the underlined word "bulky" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. HeavyB. CheapC. EfficientD. Small.11. What doesByrne think of concrete batteries?A. They beat today's rechargeable devices.B. They are simple and bulky.C. They have a doubtful future.D. They have a long way to go.DAccording to Oxford Dictionaries, morality means: “Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.” Though morality is a rather subjective subject, there are some principles that are universal across all cultures found by an Oxford University study: “help your family, help your group, return favors, be brave, obey superiors, divide resources fairly, and respect others’ property”. The fact that these morals are found across 60 cultures from around the world demonstrates that morality, though subjective, is the cornerstone of keeping our societies together. Here are some reasons to be moral: without morality, a social life is almost impossible to maintain; having a good reputation and having a clear conscience is psychologically healthy; and most philosophies regard unselfish and principled behavior as important.There is no doubt that without morals, a society cannot function effectively. A confused situation would appear, According to the Society of Morality, “We are social animals, and the actions we take-the things we do andthe things we don’t do-have consequences on our environments and on the others around us. As a result, we need to be able to govern our behavior in the near term so as not to injure ourselves or our community in the long term. This system of controlling our actions and our thoughts in order to operate in a community is what we often refer to as morality”. Therefore, we need a set of morals in order to operate within a social circle and a social environment. Acting immoral usually results in being excluded from social activities or being avoided by a society based on laws and cultural standards. Besides acting moral having a sociological need, it also has a psychological basis. Most people are concerned to some extent about their reputation. According to PsyPost, “A lot of economic models of human behavior assume that people are only rational (理性的) when they narrowly pursue their own self-interest, but history shows us that people are also tremendously concerned with being and appearing moral”. So, the fear of one’s reputation being damaged is often a strong motivator to be moral. And if someonehas been immoral,most people go out of their way to make sure no one finds out, or to correct the behavior in order to not be caught. This goes in line with conscience as well. People generally feel in a better psychological state if they feel that their conscience is clean. A dirty conscience can result in a lack of sleep, anxiety, internal stress, and even illness.On the side of philosophy, the study of ethics (伦理) comes into play. Most philosophers agree that one should rationally choose a set of standards of behavior in order to function. Though there is moral relativism, there are universal anthropological (人类学的) morals, as mentioned in the introduction. By the nature of our societies and cultures, we choose what we believe is right and wrong. But surprising, this rational behavior comes to a general agreement on morals. So, there is a fine line between moral relativism and moral absolutism. But the main thing to take away from this discussion is that philosophers generally believe that each individual has the right to rationally come up with a set of ethics to live by, and that it is healthy to do so.12. The author discusses morality (paragraph 1) in order to ________.A. explain the relationship between morality and cultureB. describe the moral rules found all around the worldC. contrast the distinction between right and wrongD. introduce the definition, principles and reasons of morality13. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. acting moral allows us to fit into group betterB. morality brings the system of controlling behaviorC. contrast the distinction between right and wrongD. introduce the definition, principles and reasons of morality14. Which of the following is the psychological basis for acting moral?A pursuit of self-interest. B. a clean conscience.C. The concern about reputation.D. a dirty conscience.15. What does the author advise us to do according to the last paragraph?A. To reach a general agreement on morals based on ethics.B. to carve one’s own sense of ethics to operate in this world.C. To choose between moral relativism and moral absolutism.D. To exclude philosophers’ beliefs and solution as well.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。
