Many girls who care too much about their self-image(个人形象) choose to eat less food to 26 themselves from gaining weight. Some even take medicine to achieve their goals. Those unhealthy ways may lead to being 27 to a certain drug and the addiction is usually very 28 . There is little difference to committing suicide (自杀). I used to eat 29 a lot, which is said to be high in protein but low in calories. But the moment bird flu 30 out, I stopped eating this kind of meat. To me, health always comes first, because no matter how wealthy you are, your 31 will deprive(剥夺) you of the right to 32 your life, so why should we put ourselves in danger and suffer? However, you’d better keep it in mind that whether you go on a calorie-restricted (限制热量的) diet or not, exercising and 33 eating are excellent ways to keep your body in good 34.

Reading(30)AMathematical ability and musical ability may not seem on the surface to be connected, but people who have researched the subject -- and studied the brain—say that they are. Three quarters of the bright but speech-delayed children in the group I studied had a close relative who was an engineer, mathematician or scientist, and four fifths had a close relative who played a musical instrument. The children themselves usually took readily to math and other analytical subjects and to music.Black, white and Asian children in this group show the same patterns. However, it is clear that blacks have been greatly overrepresented in the development of American popular music and greatly underrepresented in such fields as mathematics, science and engineering.If the abilities required in analytical fields and in music are so closely related, how can there be this great discrepancy? One reason is that the development of mathematical and other such abilities requires years of formal schooling, while certain musical talents can be developed with little or no formal training, as has happened with a number of well-known black musicians.It is precisely in those kinds of music where one can acquire great skill without formal training that blacks have excelled popular music rather than classical music, piano rather than violin, blues rather than opera. This is readily understandable, given that most blacks, for most of American history, have not had either the money or theleisure for long years of formal study in music.Blacks have not merely held their own in American popular music. They have played a large role in the development of jazz, both traditional and modern. A long string of names comes to mind—W.C. Handy, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker…and so on.None of this presupposes(假设，意味着) any special innate（先天的）ability of blacks in music. On the contrary, it is perfectly consistent with blacks having no more such inborn ability than anyone else, but being limited to being able to express such ability in narrower channels than others who have had the money, the time and the formal education to spread out over a wider range of music, as well as into mathematics, science and engineering.( ) 36. what is the main idea of the first paragraph?A.Mathematical ability and musical ability are connected.B.Mathematical ability has more to do with the brain than musical ability.C.More people are good at music than math.D.More research should be done into the relationship between mathematical ability and math ability. ( ) 37. The word “discrepancy” (Para. 3) most probably means ____.A. differenceB. excellenceC. inborn abilityD. inability( ) 38. What can be inferred about opera?A.It requires formal training.B.It is often enjoyed by those with strong analytical ability.C.It is disliked by blacks.D.It is more difficult to learn than classical music.( )39. Which of the following statements is true according to the last paragraph?A.Blacks have special innate ability in music.B.Unlike others, blacks do not have innate ability in music.C.Jazz is one of the narrow channels through which blacks express their ability in music.D.Those who have money and time choose mathematics over music.（）40. which of the following questions does the passage mainly concern?A.Are musical ability and mathematical ability connected?B.Why have blacks been greatly over represented in the development of American popular misic?C.What kinds of music require formal training?D.What are the contributions made by black musicians?BAfter the Summer Olympics are over, when all the athletes and viewers have gone home and the television audience has switched off, another group of athletes and fans will arrive at the host city, and another competition will begin. These are the Paralympics, the games for athletes with a disability. But in Beijing in , for the first time,one of the greatest paralympians will not be taking part.She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thompson. Born with spina bifida （脊椎裂）which lefther paralysed（瘫痪的）from the waist down, Tanni used a wheelchair from the age of 7. At first, she was not keen on sport, apart from horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom. But in her teens, she started taking sports more seriously. She tried swimming, basketball and tennis. Eventually she found athletics, and never looked back.Indeed, Tanni's athletic career took off. In 1984, when she was 15, she pulled off a surprise victory in the 100 meters at the Junior National Wheelchair Games.In 1988, Tanni went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul. She won bronze in the 400 meters. Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics. Tanni won gold in the100, 400 and 800 meters relay, setting two world records in the process. In the same year she achieved the first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon victories.Tanni's endurin g success has been part motivation, part preparation. “The training I do that enables me to be a good sprinter （短跑运动员）enables me to be good at a marathon too. I train 50 weeks of the year and that keep me prepared for whatever distance I want to race... I am still competing at a very high level, but as 1 get older things get harder and 1 want to retire before 1 fall apart."Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in . Her wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing Olympic Games.In spite of ups and downs, she never takes her fate lying down. In her splendid life, she has won an amazing eleven gold medals, four silvers and one bronze in a series of Paralympics— a top level athletic career covering two decades. She has won the London Wheelchair Marathon six times, more than any other competitor, and she has set over thirty world records.What advice does she have for young athletes? "Work hard at your studies, and then train, train and train again."41. Which of the following sports did Tanni like before thirteen?A. Basketball.B. Swimming.C. Tennis.D. Horse-riding.42. When did Tanni win her first Olympic gold medal?A. In 1984.B. In 1988.C. In 1992.D. In .43. The underlined word "that" in the 5th paragraph refers to____.A. fifty weeks' trainingB. being a good sprinterC. training almost every dayD. part motivation and part preparation44. What's the right order of the events related to Tanni?a. She works as a coach.b. She took up athletics.c. She won four gold medals in Barcelona.d. She competed in her first Paralympic Games.e. She achieved a victory in her first London Wheelchair Marathon.A. b, d, c, e, aB. a, d, b, c, eC. a, d, c, e, bD. b, d, a, e, c45. What can we learn from Tanni's success?A. Union is strength.B. Never too late to learn.C. Well begun is half done.D. No pains, no gains.CThroughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.Landscape(风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.46. The underlined word “poetry” most probably means __________.A. an object for artistic creationB. a collection of poemsC. an unusual qualityD. a natural scene47. Leslie's paintings are extraordinary because _________.A. they are close in style to works in ancient timesB. they look like works by 19th-century paintersC. they draw attention to common things in lifeD. they depend heavily on color photography48. What is the author's opinion of artistic reality?A. It will not be found in future works of art.B. It does not have a long-lasting standard.C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.D. It is lacking in modern works of art.49. What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?A. They express people's curiosity about the past.B. They make people interested in everyday experience.C. They are considered important for variety in form.D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.50.

2018-2019学年广东省深圳中学高一(上)期末英语试卷
2018-2019学年广东省深圳中学高一（上）期末英语试卷1.（填空题，6分）When I was a boy we used to live across the road from a big hill with huge oak trees growing out of it. When winter arrived, thick, heavy snow would fall, and my two brothers would grab their sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun. I remember watching them with envy because I was still too small to go sledding, finally, one winter I was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it.The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers and had the time of my life. It was so exhilarating when the wind blew across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled. Near the end of the day I was overjoyed too when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself. I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach. Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside. I was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course（走偏），straight towards one of those big oak trees. My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming. At the last possible second, I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree. I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling,"You have to steer（操控）！You have to steer！"Sadly, that wasn't the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life. Many times, problems, troubles, and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger, frustration, and despair. I am still learning that life isn't always safe sledding. I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness, and back to goodness.Life is a trip, but no one ever said it was a smooth ride. Steer well then. Steer straight. Steer your soul towards the light and the love we are all meant for.（1）What do we know about the author when he was very young？___A． He lived on a big hill with huge oak trees on it.B． He was frightened to go sledding with his brothers.C． He longed to go sledding with his brothers.D． He carried his brothers' sleds as they went sledding.（2）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "exhilarating" in Paragraph 2？___A． delightfulB． terrifyingC． ordinaryD． violent（3）What does the author mean to tell us？___A． Losing control of a sled can be dangerous.B． Courage and determination can change one's life.C． Life can be controlled by one himself.D． Life is a mystery full of connections.2.（填空题，6分）Studies show that, up to about 6 months of age, babies can recognize all the sounds that make up all the languages in the world.There are about 6，000 sounds that are spoken in languages around the globe, but not every language uses every sound. For example, while the Swedish language has 16 vowel sounds, English uses 8 vowel sounds, and Japanese uses just 5．Adults can hear only the sounds used in the languages they speak fluently. To a native Japanese speaker, for instance, the letters R and L sound the same.Starting at around 6 months old, a baby's brain focuses on the most common sounds it hears. Then, children begin responding only to the sounds of the language they hear the most. In a similar way, older babies start recognizing the patterns that make up the rules of their native language. In English, for example, children who are about 18 months old star to figure out that words ending in "-ing" or "-ed" are usually verbs and that verbs are action words.Scientists are particularly interested in the brains of people who speak more than one language fluently because that is hard to do after about age 7． In one experiment, for example, native Chinese speakers spoke Chinese to 9-month-old American babies for 12 sessions over 4 weeks Each session lasted about 25 minutes. In the end, the American babies reacted to Chinese sounds just as well as Chinese babies didAt about the age of seven,these skills begin to develop slowly. It gets harder to memorize new sounds. So,if you don't start studying Spanish or Russian until middle school,you must filth against years of brain development,and progress may be not optimistic.Understanding a baby's brain may also help scientists design computers that learn languages as easily as babies do. Useful as computers are,they cannot understand a wide range of voices or communicate like people do.（1）Which of the following may confuse naive Japanese speaker most？___A． row and lowB． like and lakeC． brain and trainD． boiling and boiled（2）What can we infer from the text？___A． Language learning helps develop human brains.B． The best time to learn languages is right after birth.C． It is challenging to learn a new language after the age of 7．D． 6-month-old babies may understand simple grammatical rules.（3）What is the best title for the text？___A． The Development of Babies' BrainsB． Babies are Good Language LearnersC． Ways to Help Children Learn LanguagesD． New Findings about Babies' Languages3.（填空题，8分）Imagine a home where your shower runs a quick health check when you step in and your bed is equipped with sensors（传感器）that recognize any signs of ill health. Collected data gets shared across different home devices and provides warnings to ensure your health isn't ruined. In the near future,we'll be able to live in such a smart home where resources （资源）can be shared effectively and intelligently,while personalized services are provided for individuals based on their unique routines and needs.Cox Communications, the largest private telecommunications company in the US， has designed a super smart home for the old, which is called the Connected Independence. A strong Internet connection is central to the home, and the company also provides a network for other service providers. Not only is the equipment remotely controlled, but this home also includes direct connections to family members and health professionals. For example, a person can perform his physical treatment remotely with online guidance from a doctor.In a modern smart home,if something goes wrong,your family can be informed immediately. However,the person living in the smart home maintains his/her sense of independence. Moreover,assistive medical robots are even used to replace human caregivers in smart homes. They can meet the different physical and emotional needs of people they care for.The current healthcare model that relies on home visits by doctors is gradually being replaced by new services. For example,home technology has proven useful in the care of people with dementia（痴呆）Computerized devices like coach can automatically glide an older person with dementia through activities（e g taking medicine）by using audio reminders,which can reduce the need for assistance.Experts agree that many health conditions could be monitored and treated in a home equipped with smart home products. However,there'll probably always be a need for hospitalsand face-to-face health interventions（干预），Even so,commuted home health should be encouraged as it offers many opportunities for patient control.（1）What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？___A． To show what smart homes are like.B． To stress how clean smart homes are.C． To tell when smart homes are operated.D． To explain why smart homes are popular.（2）In the Connected Independence, what are all services provided mainly based on？___ A． Resource network.B． Internet connection.C． Medical technology.D． Operating instruction.（3）What becomes possible in smart homes thanks to computerized devices like COACH？___ A． Disease prevention.B． Disease management.C． The control of diseases.D． The recovery from diseases.（4）What can we infer about connected smart homes from the last paragraph？___A． They will become the key to ensuring good health soon.B． They could be used to replace all the healthcare services.C． They should be used cautiously to provide medical services.D． They shouldn't completely replace existing healthcare services.4.（填空题，30分）One day,many years ago,when I was working as a psychologist at a children's institution in England, an adolescent boy showed up in the waiting room.

Luckily, there are books for that.The Complete Fairy Tales by Hans Christian AndersenAny reader of fairy tales knows Andersen’s responsible for the snowy scenes in "The Snow Queen", the story of children Kai and Gerda, who must face the goddess-like woman who controls all snowflakes after Kai is kidnapped.Family Life by Akhil SharmaIt’s a beautiful yet tragic novel about an Indian family immigrating to America, only to face entirely new hardships. Sharma’s novel isn’t entirely set in the wintertime, but his poetic descriptions of winter weather as lovely yet isolating make it a great choice for a December read.Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyGo ahead and give up movie adaptation that has been produced recently and read orre-read the classic itself. You know the story: a scientist driven by his ambition discovers a method for creating life, and spends two years cobbling together a living creature, who later feels anger about him.An American Childhood by Annie DillardDillard’s first book is, as its title suggests, about her change from being a self-centered child to being an adult more concerned with the world around her than with her own personal concerns. Her parents are key figures in the story. One famous scene takes place during what th e author calls “a big snow” in 1950.21．Who wrote a novel about “The Snow Queen”?A．Annie Dillard. B．Donna Tartt.C．Akhil Sharma. D．Hans Christian Andersen.22．What do we know about Frankenstein?A．It has been adapted to a movie. B．It’s about the secret history.C．It’s about an Indian family.D．It’s a fairy tale.23．From An American Childhood, we know the main characters are ________.A．self-centered children B．adultsC．scientists D．Dillard’s parentsIn the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.In Mrs Totten's eighth-grade maths class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数)．Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.Mrs Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work towards the other end.Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which maths problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn't function.When Mrs Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I'd got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn't get anything，”I answered, and my face felt warm.“Correct，” she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one. 24．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?A．It is wise to value one's time. B．It is important to make an effort.C．It is right to stick to one's belief. D．It is enough to do the necessary. 25．The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always ________. A．asked questions in a regular wayB．walked up and down when asking questionsC．chose two or three questions for the studentsD．requested her students to finish their usual questions26．The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ________.A．the class didn't begin as usualB．several students didn't come to schoolC．he didn't try hard to make his estimateD．Mrs Totten didn't start from the back of the class27．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．An unforgettable teacher B．A future mathematicianC．An effective approach D．A valuable lessonChildren grow quickly, especially their feet. But many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them. As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot. Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil.Kenton Lee, an American man invented The Shoe That Grows. He explains, "It grows in three places: the front, on the side and on the back. It can last up to five years. The bottom is rubber like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather."Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya. "I just remember a little girl who wore a pair of small shoes. The shoes were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out. And I just remember thinking, wouldn't it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet."However, Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality. Finally, in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. In the office of Because International, Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise.A pair of shoes, he says, gives more than protection. It gives a child self-worth and more chances to succeed. "Because it's a small thing that really does make a big difference to keep them healthy and happy and having more chances to succeed."Kenton Lee adds that his goal is to help get The Shoe That Grows to as many children as he can around the world.28．The first paragraph may intends to tell us ________.A．many children suffer lacking shoesB．shoes are badly needed in many placesC．the necessity of inventing the new shoesD．we should make efforts to help the children29．What does t he underlined word “parasites” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Small living things that live on or inside something.B．The remains that left in the soil after crops got in.C．Some worms that protect soil.D．Small insects that are not easy to find.30．What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?A．The children in orphanage live a hard life.B．What inspired Kenton Lee to invent the shoes.C．A girl with a pair of worn shoes.D．Kenton Lee wanted to help the children.31．From Kenton Lee, we can know ________.A．the new-invented shoes can grow automaticallyB．he had little difficulty in inventing the new type shoesC．he had a great dream to invent shoes from his childhoodD．shoes are important for children’s physical and mental growthWe can achieve knowledge either actively or passively.We achieve it actively by direct experience,by testing and proving an idea,or by reasoning.We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else.Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive.Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately,passive learning has a serious problem.It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay(传闻) and rumor.Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone.Then the person whispers it,word for word,to another person.That person,in turn,whispers it to still another, and so on,through all the people playing the game.The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it.Then the two written statements are compared.Typically,the original message has changed.That’s what happens in daily life.The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then,too,most people listen imperfectly.And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story,trying to improve on it,stamping it with their own personal style.Yet those who hear it think they know.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another,who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue,unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.32．According to the passage,active learning may occur in ________.A．reading scientific journalsB．listening to the teacher in classC．doing a chemical experimentD．watching news programmes on TV33．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．C lassroom.B．N ewspapers.C．A ctive learning.D．P assive learning.34．The game Rumor is mentioned in Paragraph 4 in order to tell readers that________. A．playing games can make people more activeB．people tend to like telling lies when playing gamesC．a message may be changed when being passed onD．people may have problems with their sense of hearing35．What can be inferred from the text?A．Scholars and authors can’t be trusted.B．Passive learning may not be reliable.C．People like spreading rumors in daily life.D．Active learning is more Important than passive learning.三、单项选择36．When I have trouble, he is the only one ______ I can go for help.A．to whom B．whom C．which D．to who 37．My pictures ______ until next Friday.A．won't develop B．aren't developed C．don't develop D．won' t be developed38．It was not until she got home____Jennifer realized she had lost her keys.A．when B．thatC．where D．before39．The book has helped me greatly in my daily communication, especially at work ________ a good impression is a must.A．which B．when C．as D．where 40．Carol said the work would be done by October, ___________ personally I doubt very much.A．it B．that C．which D．when41．---- How long ____ at this job?---- Since 1990.A．were you employed B．have you been employedC．had you been employed D．will you be employed42．I was surprised that he didn’t like the way ______ I solved the problem.A．in which B．which C．on which D．as 43．With the help of high technology, more and more new substances ___in the past few years.A．discovered B．have discoveredC．had been discovered D．have been discovered44．Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts.The plane __________.

There was a fine piece of carving stone material, but it was ruined by an unskilled sculptor. Mistakenly, he dug a hole on the part that was originally for thefigure's leg. So this rare piece of marble （大理石）was abandoned in a church.One day, someone called in Michelangelo. They believed only he was able to make use of this piece of marble. Michelangelo looked at the stone and concluded that he could carve out a beautiful figure as long as he got the design adjusted to hide the damaged part.Michelangelo decided to carve the young David. One day, the mayor （市长）of the city entered the studio. He regarded himself as a carving expert and appreciated the work. He told Michelangelo that his work was a fantastic masterpiece, but the nose was too big.Michelangelo knew the mayor was standing right below the statue, so his visual angle was incorrect. Without a word, he asked the mayor to climb up the platform following him to the nose position. He then picked up a tool and some small pieces of marble. Michelangelo began to carve gently with the tool and made the collected stone pieces in his hand drop bit by bit. In fact, he didn’t change the nose, but it seemed as if he did. After several minutes, he stood aside and said, “Now, have a look!"The mayor answered, "This is better. You have made it true to life."Everyone believes they are right. If you try to persuade others to change their grounds by words, the reasoning of your argument may fall on deaf ears. Learn to prove the correctness of ideas in an indirect way. Getting the support of others through your own actions will be more powerful. One can never win if he only relics on arguments. 1. Why was Michelangelo invited to make the sculpture?A．The former sculptor broke the figure's leg.B．He could design a young David for a church.C．The mayor believed he could do a good job.D．He could reuse the rare damaged material.2. Which of the following best describes Michelangelo?A．Dishonest. B．Responsible. C．Overconfident. D．Intelligent.3. What does the underlined word “grounds” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Lifestyles. B．Hobbies.C．Opinions. D．Floors.4. What can we learn from the story?A．A smart move is better than words.B．Do what you say and say what you do.C．Action is the proper fruit of knowledge.D．From small beginning come great things.18. Are we facing the end of civilization, or even the planet? It's a question that attracted some serious scientific brainpower. Some institutions are studying the probabilities of various disasters. Meanwhile, climate and earth-system scientists are collecting more evidence that climate change will seriously damage our world or at least cause a major war.Rather than judging the science itself Notes From An Apocalypse explores how these threats affect individuals. It is the second such book from Mark O'Connell, the winner of the 2018 Wellcome Book Prize. In the story, O'Connell explores deeper into our personal hearts. He asks what happens when we're faced with the possibility of the end-time.A successful journalist living in Dublin with his young family, O'Connell is crazy about the idea of collapse(毁灭).This leads him into shadowy worlds while readying himself for the breakdown. He visits a former weapons-storage place. He interviews Peter Thiel, a billionaire who attempts to redesign the government to suit the needs after collapse. And he attends a meeting of the Mars Society, where members share dreams of living on the Red Planet.However, O'Connell discovers that what those people are doing is preparing not for their fears but their imaginations. They contribute “nothing to the prevention of others' sufferings”. Back in Dublin, O'Connell finds he has lost his taste for collapse. He finds inspiration to change his focus from how our lives might end, to what makes them worth living.Notes from an Apocalypse offers no scientific analysis of the threats we face or how we should respond. Instead, it shows how easily our fears can cause us to walk away from the disasters we create — to hide, lice, waste — just when we most need to do something. In this thoughtful, funny and disturbing book, O'Connell makes a persuasive argument that connecting with nature and each other is the best way to calm our disasters—and it might even increase our hopes of avoiding the worst.1. What possibility is discussed in Paragraph I?A．The weather is getting warmer.B．The world is coming to an end.C．Science can improve civilization.D．A big war is on the way to the world.2. What does O'Connell finally achieve during his journey?A．He finds many people sharing his belief.B．He knows how to prepare for the end-time.C．He collects some evidence about the disaster.D．He throws away his initial idea about collapse.3. What suggestion does O'Connell give in his book?A．People must make preparations for the end-time.B．People have to find a way to escape from the earth.C．People should bridge the gap between human and nature.D．People just need to enjoy themselves before the disaster.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Journey to the End of the World and BackB．A Scientific Research into Saving the PlanetC．A Story of the People Threatened by CollapseD．An Exploration into Different People's Hearts三、七选五19.

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AIt feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. Andmuch to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans (哀叹) all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of a fame or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.1. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. the writer’s studiesB. the writer’s future jobC. dinner plansD. wars around the world2. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s mother _____.A. doesn’t want the writer to major Engl ishB. doesn’t think the writer should be a doctorC. gets along very well with the writerD. doesn’t think working in the scientific field is a good idea3. Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?A. He wants to be li ke his mother’s co-worker’s son.B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.C. He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.D. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.BSpecialists say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their newenvironment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to (适应) their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems—the telephone, post office, or transportation—may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image.Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick(想家), people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape doessolve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience—these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.4. According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the followingexcept _____.A. language communicationB. weather conditions and customsC. public service systemsD. homesickness5.According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, __________.A, the fewer difficulties you may have abroadB. the more difficulties you may have abroadC. the more money you will earn abroadD. the less homesick you will feel abroad6. The underlined word in the last paragraph mostly probably means ________.A. being homesickB. being lostC. protecting oneselfD. gaining experience7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Escape unfamiliar environmentB. The feeling of homesickness.C. Homesickness can solve the problem of culture shock.D. The best way to overcome culture shock: get familiar withthe new culture.CTo master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read and write．Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian．But when they went to England in 1980, English people couldn’t understand what was said to them．These days more foreigners are coming to China and more and more Chinese are going out to foreign countries to work or study．So the spoken language is becoming more and more important．Speaking, of course, can’t go without listening．If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly．The sounds of the Chinese and English language are not exactly the same．If you don’t listen carefully, you’ll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers．Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it’s to exchange ideas．People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing．The important thing is to make your idea in your head and then to write it in clear lively language．Chinese students read far too slowly．If you read fast, you understand better．If you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about．When you meet with new words, don’t look them up in the dictionary．Guess the meaning from the context(上下文)．Youmay not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearer．If you look up every word, you’ll never finish a book．Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people w hose language they’re studying．They should study these subjects in the foreign language, not only in translation．In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time．8．In the first paragraph the writer tells us ．A．how to speak EnglishB．how to read and writeC．why spoken English is importantD．why English people couldn’t understand Lenin9．In his last point the writer advises us ．A．to kill two birds with one stoneB．to learn two languages at a timeC．to study all the subjects in a foreign languageD．to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying．10．In the fourth paragraph the writer give some advice on ．A．how to read fasterB．how to guess the meaning from the contextC．how to look up new words in the dictionaryD．how to grasp the general meaning of a passage11．“To kill two birds with one stone” means．A．to get some particular knowledge B．to get more than what one paysC．the stone is too big D．the birds are blind enoughDThe temperature of the sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The sun is so much hotter than the earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core(核心). In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the sun can never be directly observed.Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at the outside and going down into the sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the sun’s atmosphere. But since the sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun begins.The sun’s outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse (日食) such as the one in February 1979. At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare(刺眼的强光)of the sun’s rays.The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensationalsight during an eclipse. The corona’s ra ys flash out in abrilliant fan that has wispy spikelike (一束束穗状) rays nearthe sun’s north and south poles. The corona is thickest at thesun’s equator.The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as theyreach the space around the planets. By the time the sun’scorona rays reach the earth, they are weak and invisible.12. Matter on the sun can exist only in the form of gas becauseof the sun’s ______.A. sizeB. ageC. locationD. temperature13. With what topic is the second paragraph mainly concerned?A. How the sun evolved.B. Thestructure of the sun.C. Why scientists study the sun.D. Thedistance of the sun from the planets.14. All of the following are parts of the sun’ s atmosphereEXCEPT the _______.A. coronaB. chromosphereC. photosphereD. core15. The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses which of the following?A. The remaining layers of the sun.B. The evolution of the sun to its present form.C. The eclipse of February 1979.D. Scientists will cost more money on researching the corona.其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But for Africa, it was the most influential “first” of all—the first time a teacher there was awarded the Global Teacher Prize.“I feel great,” Tabichi said after accepting the Prize. The Prize, awarded by the Varkey Foundation, honors an outstanding teacher every year, and includes a $1 million prize.You might already be able to guess how he plans to spend that prize. This is, after all, a man who chose to teach kids at a poorly-equipped, underfunded school in a remote Kenyan village and give 80 percent of his salary to the poor. Brother Peter, as he’s called, surprised no one by announcing that he planned to use the million dollars from his win to improve the school and offer food to the poor. The local community where food shortage is a major source of conflict could also benefit from that awarded money.Tabichi teaches high schoolers science at a remote part of Kenya’s Rift Valley. Despite having one computer, a poor Internet connection and a student-teacher ratio of 58:1, Tabichi started a “talent nurturing club” and expanded the school’s science club. He helped students design’ research projects of high quality so that many now qualify for national competitions. His students have taken part in international science competitions and won an award from the Royal Society of Chemistry after using local plant life to produce electricity. Tabichi also gives struggling students one-to-one coaching in science, visiting students’ homes and meeting their families to identify the challenges they face.Accepting the prize, Tabichi said: “This prize gives my students a chance. It tells the world that they can do anything. Africa will produce scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs whose names will be one day famous in every corner of the world.”19．What can we learn about the Global Teacher Prize?A．It is presented annually.B．It offers a prize of $1 billion.C．It is given to African teachers.D．It influences people worldwide. 20．What did Tabichi plan to do with the prize money?A．To set up a charity and help the community.B．To build a school and pay students’ fees.C．To have a trip and visit many scenic spots.D．To better school facilities and feed the poor.21．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．Tabichi’s determination to face the challenges.B．Tabichi’s efforts to equip students with science.C．Tabichi’s troubles in operating the science clubsD．Tabichi’s passion for teaching gifted students science22．Which of the following can best describe Tabichi?A．Professional and humorous.B．Talented and selfless.C．Knowledgeable and sensitive.D．Generous and ambitious.I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer College, the same question, “What do you look forward to the most in college?” I was astonished and delighted recently when a student replied, “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk.“You see, my parents have never let me fail,” he said. “When I want to take a chance at something, they remind me it’s not a safe route to take. Taking a more demanding course or trying an activity I may not succeed in, they tell me, will ruin my chances at college admission.”I wish I could tell you this is an uncommon story, but kids all over the world admit they are under great pressure to be perfect. When I was traveling in China last fall and asked a Chinese student what she did for fun, she replied: “I thought I wasn’t supposed to tell you that?I wouldn’t want you to think I am not serious about my work!”Students are usually in shock when I laugh and tell them I never expect perfection. Of course, this goes against everything they’ve been told. How could a dean (院长) of admission at one of America’s most selective institutions not want the best and the brightest? The reality is, perfection doesn’t exist, and we don’t expect to see it in a college application. In fact, admission officers tend to question students who present themselves as individuals without shortcomings.We get the most excited when we read an application that seems real. It’s so rare to hear stories of defeat. If their perspectives are of lessons learned, these applicants tend to jump to the top at highly selective colleges. We believe an error in high school should not define the rest of your life, but how you respond could shape you forever.23．What can we learn about the student in the first two paragraphs?A．He is taught not to take risks.B．He tries to avoid any chance of failure.C．He cares little about his academic futuresD．He is seldom allowed to take part in activities.24．Why does the author mention the Chinese student in paragraph 3?A．To emphasize the importance of hard work.B．To compare students from different countries.C．To give an example of the students he favors.D．To illustrate the widespread stress on students25．What is probably admission officers’ attitude towards a perfect application?A．Doubtful.B．Confused.C．Favorable.D．Casual. 26．What is the key to success in college according to the author?A．A desire for perfectionB．The ability to learn from defeats.C．The opportunity of making mistakes.D．An experience of defeat in high schoolThe public nowadays has a misunderstanding of forest fires, believing that fires should be kept out of every type of forest. Many of us can recall Smoky the Bear’s famous warning: “Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires”. However, that’s not always the case. Under the right conditions, and when conducted safely, fire can create many environmental benefits as well as help prevent larger, uncontrollable wildfires.After a forest fire, many wildlife species will move into recently burned areas to feed on these newly available foods. Some reptiles and amphibians such as the pine snake prefer forests frequently burned by fire. As Herbert Stoddard put it, “One of the most harmful things modern man has done to birds has been his attempt to exclude fire from fire-type pine (松树) forests. Within a few years most forests choke up with bushes, lose their prairie-like vegetation (草原般植被) and can no longer support birds dependent on periodic burning for their food supply and proper cover.”If you are asked to picture the forest floor, what do you see? Pine needles, cones, leaves, branches might come to mind — all sources of fuel. If these fuel sources build up without any type of removal, the ‘fuel load’ can lead to fires catastrophic to forests and people alike. In contrast, prescribed fire can be used by forest professionals every couple of years to keep forest fuels at an appropriate and manageable level. They can also minimize the spread of pest insects and disease and remove unwanted tree and plant species. Plus, they can create and maintain important wildlife habitats rich in grasses and promote the growth of trees,wildflowers and other various plants.Many organizations and agencies work to promote fire on the landscape when and where appropriate. Smoky Bear even has an updated warning: “Only You can Prevent Wildfires,” as the Forest Service has over the last few decades developed policies and procedures to include prescribed fire as a management tool, as well as continuing their work to prevent and fight wildfires.27．What can benefit birds according to Herbert Stoddard?A．Forest bushes.B．Fuel sources.C．Periodic burning.D．Pine forests. 28．What does the underlined word “prescribed” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．preventable B．planned C．wild D．damaging 29．What is the purpose of prescribed fire?A．To keep the forest in balance.B．To keep the fuel rich in the forest.C．To put out wildfires.D．To remove tree and plant species. 30．What might be the best title for the passage?A．Never Keep The Forest Fire Burning B．Not All Forest Fires Are Created Equal C．Where There Is Smoke There Is A Fire D．One Match Can Start A Forest FireYou may feel like you have a lot of casual friends or acquaintances (熟人) but no one is close. You’re not alone. Not having any close friends is surprisingly common, especially in your youth. 31You might feel nervous meeting new people. It’s totally natural for lots of us to feel that way. 32 So try to focus on the other person instead of yourself. The more you practice meeting new people and forming connections, the easier it will get.You may push people away instead of getting close to them. 33 If you have a few friends but you wouldn’t necessarily consider them close ones, you might be holding yourself back a bit. There are lots of reasons why you might be doing this, either on purpose or subconsciously, so try to give yourself permission to let people see the real you.You might not make enough time for them. 34 They can disappear if you accidentally forget about them. Everyone’s busy, so don’t worry too much if you forget for a week or two, but try your best to talk to your friends often. Even if you can’t hang out with them in person all the time, just sending them a text or calling them can be enough to keep up that relationship.35 When you make plans, stick to them, and let your friends trust you. Close friendships happen when people can have faith in each other, so you want to be the best friend that you can be.
