2020届湖北省孝感高中高三英语模拟试卷及答案
2020届湖北省孝感高中高三英语模拟试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AAmid the coronavirus outbreak, the U. S. Department of Homeland Security recommends having at least a two - week supply of water and food.PotatoesShelf life：2 to 5 weeks if stored in a cool, dry, dark placeYukon Gold, red, and fingerling potatoeswill last from two to three weeks. Larger white potatoes can last for three to five weeks. Sweet potatoes have about the same shelf life. Don't store them next to onions, however. The two might go together well in cooking, but raw, each gives off gases and moisture that might cause the other to spoil faster.Tea※Shelf life：6 to 12 months past "sell - by" dateDried tea leaves, whether loose (in a sealed container) or in teabags (in an unopened box) can easily last a year or more if they' re not subjected to damp or humidity. However, the tea does tend to lose flavor over time.Peanuts● Shelf life：1 to 2 monthsPeanuts in their shell, especially when kept cool and dry, are perfectly happy in the cupboard for as long as two months.Canned fruits and vegetables● Shelf life：1 to 2 years past "sell - by” dateCanning is an extremely efficient means of preserving food. Generally speaking, if canned foods aren't subjected to extreme heat, their contents should stay good for two years or more. Be aware, however, of dented cans or those with swollen tops, which may indicate the presence of bacteria inside.1. Which can go bad faster if stored with onions?A. Potatoes.B. Tea.C. Peanuts.D. Canned fruits and vegetables.2. What is special about tea?A. The flavor of tea can always remain the same.B. Tea leaves are better to be preserved in an open jar.C. Tea leaves should be kept away from the state of being wet.D. The maximum length of time that tea can be stored is 6 months.3. What may shorten the "sell - by” date of canned foods ?A. Shapes of cans.B. Categories of foods.C. Decline of the temperature.D. Exposure to high temperature.BBrown cows may not actually make chocolate milk, but pink silkworms（蚕）do produce pink silk, a team of scientists has discovered. To see if they could produce pre-dyed silk-silk that comes color1 ed, straight from the source-the team fed ordinary silkworms mulberry（桑树）leaves that had been sprayed（喷洒）with fabric（织物）dyes（染色剂）. Out of seven tested dyes, only one worked, producing a thread that reminded me of pink-dyed hair.And yes, the worms themselves take on some color1 before they produce silk. Their color1 ful diets did not affect their growth, the team, which included engineers and biologists from the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory in India, reports in the journalACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. (The researchers didn't look too deeply into how the dyes affected the silkworms' health. After all, silkworms die when people harvest their silk.)The team made dyeing silk this way because color1 ing fabric normally uses large amounts of fresh water. The water gets polluted with dangerous chemicals in the process, requiring costly treatment before factories can send it back into waterways. Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms would avoid those water-washing steps. Scientists are just starting to study this idea. However, it remains to be seen if it's commercially successful. In this experiment, the Indian team tested seven dyes, which are cheap and popular in the industry.The scientists found different dyes moved through silkworms' bodies differently. Some never made it into the worms' silk at all. Others color1 ed the worms and their silk but the color1 disappears before the silk is turned into fabric. Only one dye, named "direct acid fast red", showed up in the final, washed silk threads. By the time it made it there, it was a pleasant, light pink.4. The text is most probably a(n) ________.A. science reportB. tourist guideC. animal experimentD. fashion advertisement5. Silkworms can produce pink silk because ________.A. they are born pinkB. they are dyed pinkC. they grow in pink waterD. they are fed dyed food6. Where is the experiment carried out?A. In America.B. In India.C. In Israel.D. In China.7. How many dyes have been proved successful in the experiment?A. One.B. Three.C. Five.D. Seven.CGlobal food demand will double by 2050, according to a new projection, and the farming techniques used to meet that unprecedented(空前的) demand will significantly determine how severe the impact is on the environment, researchers said.The study researchers warned that meeting the demand for food would clear more land, increase nitrogen(氮) use and significantly add to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions.“Agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions could double by2050 if current trends in global food production continue,” study researcher David Tilman, of theUniversityofMinnesota, said in a statement. “This would be a major problem, since global agriculture already accounts for a third of all greenhouse gas emissions.”The researchers studied various ways in which the increasing food demand could be mentioned. They found that the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach would be for more food producers to adopt the nitrogen-efficient “intensive” farming method, which involves the heavy use of labor and the production of more crops per acre.This approach was shown to be more effective than the “extensive” farming currently practiced by many poor nations, a method that includes clearing more new land to produce more food.Different farming methods produce significantly different yields, the researchers found — in 2005, the crop yields for the wealthiest nations were more than 300 percent higher than what the poorest nations produced.According to their analysis of the effects of extensive farming, if poorer nations continue using this method, by 2050theywill have cleared an area larger than theUnited States, about 2.5 billion acres. However, if wealthy nations help poorer nations to improve food yields by incorporating(吸收) intensive farming practices, that number could be reduced to half a billion acres.The researchers stress that the environmental effects of meeting future food demand depend on how global agriculture expands and develops.“Our analyses show that we cansave most of the Earth’s remaining ecosystems by helping the poorer nations of the world feed themselves,” Tilman said.8. What is the best title of this passage?A. The World Will Need Double Food by 2050B. Man Will Face the Risk of Lacking Food in the FutureC. Future Farmers Hold Environment’s Fate in Their HandsD. Different Farming Methods Produce Significantly Different Yields9. The character of the extensive farming is ________.A. very cost-effectiveB. to produce more crops per acreC. at cost of more new land to produce more foodD. very environmentally friendly10. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. poorer nations mainly use the intensive farmingB. wealthy nations mainly use the extensive farmingC. the intensive farming needs less food producersD. the extensive farming has a worse effect on ecosystems11. According to the passage, the underlined word “they” in the 7th paragraph refers to “________”.A. poorer nationsB. the effects of extensive farmingC. wealthy nationsD.future food demandDTourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality(VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as" mind wandering". During these eventswe' re not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we' re recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feelings.While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.12. What is driving the development of virtual tourism?A. Companies seeking to make more money.B. Improvements in virtual reality technology.C. People's demand for more shared experiences.D. People's deeper understanding of the physical world.13. Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"?A. The brain processes which help people think VR is real.B. The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.C. Brain activities focusing on past or future events.D. Experiences coming from a person's imagination.14. What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Science fiction.B. Virtual technology.C. Virtual tourism.D. The real world.15. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To describe the advantages of VR tourism.B. To give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.C. To encourage people to develop VR technology.D. To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.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。

Anxiety．11.What is the main idea of the text？______A. Egg painting art preserves traditional and popular symbols．B. Different cultures have different ways of honoring the egg．C. Ukrainian egg painting art appeals to contemporary artists．D. Egg painting art continues and develops in pace with time．DImagine you enter a car with no steering wheel，no brake or accelerator pedals （踏板）．Under a voice-activated command，you say an address．"The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes．Should I take it？" You say "yes" and you are on your way．The car responds and starts moving all by itself．All you have to do is to sit back and relax．How strange would it be if，one day in the future，everyone had such a car？No crazy driving，no quarrels，no cutting in；traffic laws would be respected and driving muchsafer．On the other hand，imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement （强制执行）and town budgets without all those speeding and parking tickets．A new technology has the potential to change modern society thoroughly．There's no question that self-driving vehicles could be an enormous benefit．The potential for safer cars means accident statistics would drop：some 94% of road accidents in the U．S．involve human error．Older drivers and visually- or physically-disabled people would gain a new level of freedom．Maintaining safe speeds and being electric，self-driving cars would sharply reduce pollution levels and dependency on non-renewable fuels．Roads would be quieter，people safer．But we must also consider the impact of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their living．According to the U．S．Department of Labor，in May 2015 there were 505，560 registered school bus drivers．The American Trucking Association lists approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the U．S．The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be partnering with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for this massive workforce，many of whom will be displaced by the new technology．New technologies will，and should，be developed．This is how society moves forward．However，progress can't be one-sided．It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the moral consequences of these potential changes to build a better future for all．12.What would be the effect of the wide use of driverless cars？______A. More policemen would inspect the streets．B. People would never feel angry about the traffic．C. It would save local governments a lot of money．D.

The gap between various departments of society would be widened．15.What does the author suggest businesses and the government do？______A. Enable everyone to benefit from new technologies．B. Keep pace with technological developments．C. Make new technologies affordable to everyone．D. Popularize the use of new technologies and devices．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共50.0分）Artists might have sunk into a state where they forgot themselves，didn't need to think and lost track of time，and inspirations would "just flow out"．Such a state of total involvement and effortless concentration is called "flow"．(1) ．It is accompanied by physical changes such as deepened breathing and slow heart beats．The benefits of being in the flow state stretch beyond the experience itself．Flow is associated with subjective happiness，satisfaction with life and inner peace．At work，it's linked to productivity，motivation and responsibility．(2) ．In fact，we all can experience flow whenever we are fully devoted to our work or hobbies or relationships，in mountainsand cities alike．If you don't experience flow every day，here are ways to trigger （触发）it．Create best conditionsAvoid noisy environments and opportunities for interruptions．(3) ，so you'll need to experiment to find what works best for you．(4) You need to engage in activities that are meaningful，that you find challenging and for which you have the skills required to come out as winners．The level of difficulty should also be just right - not so easy that you find yourself bored，but not so hard that you get stressed．Stay highly aware of yourselfPractice staying highly aware of your breath，your presence，your thoughts and your actions，and you will live fully each second of the present and be completely yourself．Gradually the world around melts away and what you are doing becomes worth doing for its own sake．(5) ．A．Decide on a proper activityB．Flow is more than a state of mindC．Fortunately，flow is not unique to artistsD．Flow is a happy accident when it happensE．Then you will be already in the flow state before you know itF．The most desirable environment varies from person to personG．Take whatever calm you can get，be yourself and the observer of yourself16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G20. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G.

Chances are that you don’t. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are muchcooler. But scientists found that people’s music taste changes as time goes by. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’, whether you like it or not.We used to think that culture and personality (个性) are the only reasons for different music choices. But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste. There are some musical periods that people go through in their life.The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent.But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change they want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&.B, which is usually uplifting and danceable.When middle age comes, most people have settled down. During this period, people prefer music, such as jazz and classical, as well as music like country, folk and blues.As for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods. They generally listen to relaxing music, such as country music and jazz music. But you must be questioning. “Aren’t there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music?” Of course there are. But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth.4. What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy?A. They are actually less cool.B. They are worth listening to.C. They are especially serious.D. They are hard to understand.5. How many musical periods are there that people go through in their life?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.6. People who want to make friends mostly prefer ________.A. jazz musicB. country musicC. rock musicD. pop music7. What is the best title for the text?A. People Have Different Opinions on MusicB. People Listen to Music for the Same ReasonC. People’s Taste in Music Changes with TimeD. People’s Lifestyle Can Be Changed by MusicCChina's Mars probe Tianwen-1 successfully landed on the surface of the red planet on May 15, 2021, leaving a Chinese footprint on Mars for the first time and in its first attempt, becoming the only other nation besides theUSto get such an achievement. The Tianwen-1 probe touched down at its pre-selected landing area in the southern part of Utopia Planitia, a wide plain on Mars, at 7:18 a.m.(Beijing Time), after three months scanning the whole planet on Mars docking orbit, the China National Space Administration(CNSA) announced.Tianwen-1, including an orbiter, a lander and a rover, was launched from the 'Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on the coast of southernChinas islandprovinceofHainanon July 23, 2020. It was the first step inChina's planetary exploration of the solar system, with the aim of completing orbiting, landing and roving on the red planet in one mission. According to the administration, the country's first Martian probe will conduct scientific investigations about the Martian soil, environment, atmosphere as well as water.China's planetary exploration program has been named “Tianwen”, which was named after a long poem by the famous ancient poet Qu Yuan. The name represents the Chinese nation's willpower in pursuing truth, the country's cultural inheritance of its understanding of nature and universe, as well as the unending exploration in science and technology.China's first Mars rover has been named “Zhurong”, which means the god of fire in an ancient Chinese story. The name indicates Chinese people's blessing for the rover to light the flame ofChina's planetary exploration. The rover has six wheels and four solar panels, and carries 13 scientific instruments. According to the CNSA, Zhurong has started its scientific exploration after moving from the landing platform onto the Red Planet's surface on May 22.More than 40 Mars missions have been launched since the 1960s, but only about half have succeeded. It is the first time in the world that orbiting, landing and roving on Mars has been completed in one launch mission, andChinahas come to the forefront of Mars exploration in the world.8.

Tianwen-1 represented the god of fire.C. Tianwen-1 successfully landed on Mars.D. Tianwen-1 was launched from Wenchang.DIn many countries of the world, people can confidently tell youthe meaning of their town or city, but most people who live inManchester,OxfordorBirminghamwould not be able to explain what the name of their city means. The name of every British town and city, however, has a long history.Two thousand years ago, most people living inBritainwere Celts. Even the word “Britain" is Celtic (凯尔特语).Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called “castra". This is why there are so many place names inEnglandwhich end in "-chester" or “-caster"Manchester, for example.The Romans never reachedWalesorScotland, and many placenames there are Celtic. For example,Welsh place names that begin with “Llan" come from the Celtic word for "church".After the Romans leftBritain, it was attacked by the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that is nowGermanyandHolland. The names of their villages often ended in “-ham" or “-ton". Some got their names from the leader of the village.SoBirminghamfor example, means "Beormund's village”The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them, so we have villages called Upton (village on a hill)——a good place to build a village and Moreton (“village by a lake”)where floods could make life hard. Place names that end in “-ford" (a place where you could cross a river) also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages.Finally, in 1066EnglandbecameNorman—theNormansgave us the place name "grange", which means farm.And how aboutLondon? Experts cannot agree. The Romans called the city Londinium, but they were not the first inhabitants (居民). People once believed that theUnited Kingdom’s capital city got its name from the castle of a King called Lud but this is very unlikely. Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning a fast-flowing river. Like a number of British place names, its history is lost in time.12. The origin of British place names is unfamiliar to many local people because ofA. the death of local languagesB. the long lost history of the namesC. their lack of interest in itD. the frequent changes to the names13. According to the article,Stratfordis most likely a town .A. on a hillB. near a castleC. beside a riverD. with a church14. Which of the following shows the correct order of the arrival of inhabitants inBritain?A. The Celts—The Romans—TheNormans—The Anglo SaxonsB. The Celts—The Romans—The Anglo Saxons—TheNormansC. The Romans—The Celts—The Anglo Saxons—TheNormansD. The Romans―The Anglo Saxons—The Celts—TheNormans15. What doesLondonmean in Celtic?A. RiverB. LondiniumC. LudD.

To recommend courses．BIn 2011，the old style Malta buses were taken off the road and replaced by modern vehicles．Most of the old buses were deserted，a few were sold，and about 100 of them were put into storage in the hope of showing them in a museum at some stage．A pre-2011 visit to Malta wouldn't have been complete without a ride on one of the colorful buses．Until 1973 you could tell the destination of the bus just by looking at its color - Sliemawas green and white，Zabbar was red and white with a blue stripe（条纹）etc．．Later，the buses all had numbers．For a while，they were all painted green and white before the ‘final' orange，yellow and white．In their prime，walking around the Triton fountain at the Valletta bus station，you would have found it very difficult to see two buses of exactly the same design．Most of them had locally built bodies．On the front of the buses carried names like Dodge，Leyland，Bedford etc．．You were equally likely to find football pennants（锦旗）and the like decorating the cabs．Real bus experts would have recognized that these were there mainly for decorative reasons，and were seldom an accurate reflection of the vehicle's origins．Nowadays much more modern buses are to be found at the Floriana bus station．They are more environmentally friendly and possibly even more comfortable than the older types．However，I miss the old buses．I remember，when you boarded your bus，you had to prepare the correct change to pay the usually bad-tempered driver as you got on．If you were seated anywhere near the front，you would have noticed that most drivers sat well to the right of their steering wheel．The reason for this，as any Maltese would tell you，was to leave space for their pet to sit alongside them．I wonder where the pet sits these days．4.What makes a pre-2011 visit to Malta special according to Paragraph 2？______A. Traveling in colorful buses．B. Using buses with stripes．C. Painting buses bright colors．D. Telling destinations by different colors．5.Which of the following best explains "prime" underlined in Paragraph 3？______A. Painful time．B. Exciting time．C. Moment of fantasy．D. Moment of glory．6.What can we learn about Malta buses when they were popular？______A. They were of the same pattern．B. The decorations reflected their origin．C. Most were uniquely designed．D. Only football pennants decorated the cabs．7.How would the author feel about the old style Malta buses？______A. Comfortable．B. Environment-friendly．C. Safe．D. Memorable．CParents tend to favour children of one sex in certain situations — or so evolutionary biologists tell us. A new study used colored backpack sales data to show that parental wealth may influence spending on sons different from daughters.In 1973 biologist Robert Trivers and computer scientist Dan Willard published a paper suggesting that parents invest(投入)more resources, such as food and effort, in male children when times are good, and in female children when times are bad. According to theTrivers-Willard hypothesis(假说), a son given lots of resources can become a gentleman — but parents with few resources tend to invest them in daughters, who generally find it easier to be a fair maiden.Studying parental investment after birth is difficult, however. The new study looked for a standard of measurement of such investment that met several criteria: it shouldn't be affectedby sex differences in the need for resources; it should measure investment rather than outcomes; and it should be objective.Study author Shige Song, a sociologist at Queens College, City University of New York, examined spending on pink and blue backpacks purchased in China in 2015 from a large retailer, JD．com. He narrowed the data to about 5,000 bags: blue backpacks bought by families known to have at least one boy and pink ones bought by families known to have at least one girl. The results showed that wealthier families spent more on blue than pink backpacks — suggesting greater investment in sons. Poorer families spent more on pink packs than blue ones. The findings were published in Evolution and Human Behavior.Song's evidence for the Trivers-Willard hypothesis is “indirect” but “pretty convincing,”says Rosemary Hopcroft, a sociologist at the. University of North Carolina at Charlotte, who was not connected with the new study. Hopcroft reported in 2016 that U. S. fathers withhigh-status occupations were more likely to send their sons to private school than their daughters, while fathers with lower-status jobs more often enrolled their female children. Although the new study does not prove the families were buying the blue backpacks for boys and pink ones for girls, Hopcroft notes that“it's a clever and interesting paper, and it's a rather unusual use of big data.”8.What does the writer intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Introduce an earlier study.B. Identify children’s needs.C. Assess the influence of a study.D. Explore into parental investment.9.What offers a challenge for the new study?A. The investment meeting several criteria.B. The measurement of eventual outcomes.C. Different demands for resources between sexes.D. Consistent standards in measuring parental investment.10.What can be learned from Song's research?A. The new study was done in 2015.B. Big data was sampled for research.C. Preference was offered to consumers.D. Blue packs were favored over pink ones.11.Which of the following is likely to match Hopcroft's remark on Song's research?A. It's entertaining.B. It's well-designed.C. It's unbelievable.D. It's unusual.DOn September 10，2018，Jack Ma，founder and chairman of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba，announced his successor（继任者）at the company he founded 19 years ago．Surprisingly，in a country where 70 to 80 percent of private companies are still family run，Mr．Ma did not name a family member．Rather，one of the world's largest e-commerce companies will be led by Daniel Zhang，an 11-year Alibaba old hand chosen only for his "professional talent．"The history of many countries can be marked by a trend away from dependence on family succession in business，or the belief that qualities of leadership flow through bloodlines．Ma is a true innovator（创新者）in many ways，most famously for building an innovativeonline shopping market worth more than the economies of most countries．But his legacy（遗产）may lie in showing how China as well as much of Asia can produce founders of successful organizations unwilling to pass the torch to relatives．"Alibaba was never about Jack Ma，" he stated in announcing his succession plan．Instead，the former schoolteacher who came from lowly origins is stepping back from day-to-day operations because he has built a system that takes root in a company culture based on innovation，transparency，and responsibility．"For the last 10 years，we kept working on these ingredients，" he stated．The company's future will depend on developing a wealth of talent that drives innovation，he said．And in a society with a long tradition of cautious distrust toward those outside the family circle，Ma has built an "architecture of trust" with customers，who number over half a billion．Chinese now readily rely on Alibaba's online payment system，its ratings of products and services，and other trust-building systems or methods pioneered by the company．China's rapid growth now produces a new billionaire almost every day．Many of them，like Ma，have favored systems of management based on talent and honesty．As many countries have discovered as they progress，it is better to swim in a talent pool，not a gene（基因）pool．12.What do we know about Daniel Zhang from the passage？______A. He's a talented professor．B. He's an experienced manager．C. He's a successful founder．D. He's Chairman of Alibaba．13.Where does Ma's legacy lie in？______A. Becoming a successful innovative founder．B.

VietnamBMy violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me．Together，we've gone through both tears and happiness．About 12 years ago，I made acquaintance with it following an order from my mom．Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it．And to make things worse，the disappointment inmy teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer，striking on my heart．One day，I finally decided：I hate it!By chance，things changed when I was seven．I was at home lying on the sofa，wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma．I searched online for the E-minor Concerto，a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn，and listened to it．A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow moved across it．It was like the music slid over the flowers，rose up，and started to fill the air．The violin's voice woke up the sun，made the trees green，and freshened the air．As the music changed，the sky turned back to gray．A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared．I could hear children crying and men shouting．It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly，making it unable to beat．That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin - I grabbed mine and never let it go．Before the memories faded，I stared at my instrument．Without hesitating，I picked it up，rosined（用松香擦）the bow，and began to play．Peace filled my heart．My violin has been by my side for 12 years．When I feel happy，an energetic tune makes it even better；when I'm deep in sorrow，a peaceful tune washes it away，when I'm walking on air，feeling especially pleased with my achievements，solemn（庄严的）tunes calm me down．Gradually，it has become a part of my life．My violin，shall I compare you to a summer's day？4.What further contributed to the author's dislike of violin-playing？______A.

A science newspaper．DA new study shows that rising levels of planet-warming gases may reduce important nutrients in food crops．Researchers studied the effects of one such gas-carbon dioxide-on rice．The researchers grew rice plants in a controlled environment．They set carbon dioxide levels to what scientists are predicting for our planet by the end of the century．They found that the resulting rice crops had lower than normal levels of vitamins，minerals and protein．The researchers said the effects of planet-warming gases would be most severe for the poorest citizens in some of the least developed countries．These people generally eat the most rice and have the least complex diets，they noted．In the experiment，scientists grew 18 kinds of rice in fields in China and Japan．They pumpedcarbon dioxide gas over the plants in an effort to create the atmosphere of the future．Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had，on average，13 to 30 percent lower levels of four B vitamins and 10 percent less protein．The crops also had 8 percent less iron and 5 percent less zinc（锌）an rice grown under normal conditions．However，vitamin E levels increased by about 13 percent on average．The results are bad news，"especially for the nutrition of the poorer population inless-developed countries，" said the University of Tokyo's Kazuhiko Kobayashi，who helped to write the report．That includes about 600 million people in Indonesia，Cambodia，Myanmar，Bangladesh，Laos and other nations，mainly in Southeast Asia，the report said．One of the scientists is Sam Myers of Harvard University in the American state of Massachusetts．He said that findings like this are an example of the surprises climate change create．" My concern is there are many more surprises to come，" he said．Myers noted that pollution，loss of some species，destruction of forests，and other human activities are likely to produce unexpected problems．He said that you cannot completely change all the natural systems that living organisms have grown to depend on over millions of years without having effects come back to affect our own health．The new study suggests a way to lower the nutritional harm of climate change．One way，Kobayashi said，is grow different forms of rice that have shown to be more resistant to higher carbon dioxide levels．12.Which county would be influenced most by planet-warming gases according to the text？______A.

Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed – a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the ca rd’s and said: “Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s marketing had worked – it was a househol d name before it’d even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, “What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stop makingtrouble.” Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.28. What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?A. An invitation to a company opening.B.

Tasks that once required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating certain new r ules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it’s OK to call. But that’s just the beginning.“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office manager from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message —“K.” “At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few wordshere. You’re not that busy.”There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to express their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James Ivory, professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friends have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that have their own unique set of routine.But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand.“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediate ly fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up a feeling in seconds.“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”32. What can you infer about Mark from Paragraph 2?A. He is a businessman with a bad temper.B. He complains about social manners.C. He can’t bear one- word messages.D. He dislike a busy business life.33. According to the text, which of the following breaks the rules for communicating?A. John says “I got it.” to his boss face to face.B. Jim calls Bill without confirming in advance.C. Mary texts Lily to make sure if she can call her.D. Jack sends “Thanks a lot” to his business friends.34. Why may people misunderstand each other during digital communication?A. Emoji cannot sum up feelings.B. People use their own slang and customs.C. There are large quantities of written rules.D. People gets wrong messages without clear clues.35. What are people expected to do after reading tie passage?A. To obey their own digital communication rules.B. To be aware of rules during digital communication.C. To use advancing technology even with disadvantages.D. To keep pace with digital communication development.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
