But there's a specific type of live event that caters to（迎合）those who want to pretend they're walking through the 16th-century England.Texas Renaissance FestivalThe Texas Renaissance Festival is the largest event of its kind in the country. It takes place over nine weekends in Todd Mission. When it first started over four decades ago, the festival drew 30,000 people. Now, it sees over a half-million attendees during its run each October and November. Each weekend has a different theme to keep happenings fresh for repeat visitors.Sterling Renaissance FestivalThe Sterling Renaissance Festival, held on weekends in July and August, takes place in Warwick, which has been created to look like a 16th century English town. Actors play the role of real historical figures like Queen ElizabethⅠ. The performers not only play on stages, but also wander around interacting with attendees. This gives the Sterling festival more of a "living history" feel than other similar events.Bristol Renaissance FaireThe Bristol Renaissance Faire is held in July and August. Like Sterling, this one is set during the period of ElizabethⅠ. An actor playing the part of the famous English ruler makes an appearance with her "court" each year. Other actors also take part in the Bristol Faire. Many of these performers are professionals from Second City and the Players Workshop.Arizona Renaissance FestivalRenaissance festivals are often summertime affairs. But that's not the case in Arizona, where the Arizona Renaissance Festival kicks off in February and runs through the end of March. This helps the fest-goers avoid the hot Southwest summertime, and it also allows for special themed weekends. The Renaissance Festival is a big attraction here, drawing about 250,000 people per year.（1）Where can visitors enjoy the largest Renaissance Festival?A.In Warwick.B.In Second City.C.In Todd Mission.D.In Arizona.（2）What makes Sterling Renaissance Festival special?A.People can see "Queen ElizabethⅠ".B.It is held on weekends in July and August.C.It gives people more of a "living history" feel.D.It takes place in a town built in the 16th century.（3）Which festival takes place in spring?A.Bristol Renaissance Fare.B.Texas Renaissance Festival.C.Sterling Renaissance Festival.D.Arizona Renaissance Festival.3.Hollywood is going green again. The Academy of Motion Pictures announced on Jan, 7 that food served at Oscar events will be almost entirely plant-based. Both the annual lunch for Oscar winners and the finger food served before the actual ceremony on Feb, 9 will be 100% plant-based. Reuters also reports that "the menu for the Governors' Ball, a great event held immediately after the Oscar ceremony, will be 70% plant-based and 30％, fish and meat."Additionally, drinks in plastic containers will no longer be served at any Oscar events. The Academyexplained in a statement that, "For the past seven years, the Oscars show has had a low carbon mark. We continue to expand our sustainability plan（可持续发展计划）with the final goal of becoming carbon-free."Lorenzo Soria, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, said he wasn't sure how the vegan（严格的素食主义的）menu would be received but was "pleasantly surprised" by the attention it produced. Though many questioned if long-time vegan and actor Joaquin Phoenix played a key role in the push to vegan, Soria says the change was supported by multiple actors in the industry.The British Academy of Film and Television Arts（BAFTA）issued（发布）their guests a set of fashion guidelines this year, along with their own plant-based menu and eco-friendly travel tips. Sadly, this attempt wasn't successful. "It was a strange disconnect," journalist Hannah Marriott writes. "Perhaps BAFTA issued the advice too late for the celebrities to come on board?"If you consider fashion production, shipping and use is responsible for around 10％ of the world's annual carbon emissions, this was more than a missed moment. Hopefully, both the entertainment industry and celebrities themselves will continue to use their global platform for good in the coming years—whether it's food, fashion or flights.（1）What is special about Hollywood's going green this time?A.It is mainly focused on food.B.It is globally supported.C.It aims to consume no meat.D.It encourages healthy drinks.（2）What can we know about going green according to the Academy of Motion Pictures?A.It has made changes to human life.B.It is a new trend in the Oscars show.C.It has been taking place in Hollywood.D.It is so urgent in the entertainment industry.（3）How do entertainers respond to going green judging from Lorenzo Soria's words?A.Most of them keep going on vegan diets.B.All of them don't support the vegan menu.C.Few of them doubt Joaquin Phoenix's efforts.D.Many of them join in pushing people to vegan.（4）What can we infer about the going green attempt of BAFTA?A.It requires more improved advertising methods.B.It is a goal most celebrities are eager to realize.C.It is a concept deeply rooted in people's minds.D.It suffers difficulties when carried out this time.4.A Faithful DogMore than seven hundred years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert.One day the Prince wanted to go hunting with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a wooden cradle, which was like a small bed.When the Prince came back from hunting, Gelert ran out to meet his master. He wagged his tail and jumped up to put his paws on the Prince's chest. Then the Prince saw the blood on Gelert's jaws and head."What have you done?" the Prince said. He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son. The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them."So you have killed my son?" the Prince said angrily. "You unfaithful dog!" He took out his sword and killed the dog. Just as Gelert was dying, he managed to bark. Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog.The Prince ran out of the house and saw his son lying on the ground unhurt. Near him was a dead wolf. Then the Prince knew that Gelert had defended the baby and killed the wolf.The Prince ran back into the house but he was too late. Gelert was dead. The Prince was very sad indeed. Tears ran down his face when he realized he had killed his faithful friend. The Prince carried the body of his brave dog to the top of a mountain and buried him there. After this, the Prince never smiled again. Every morning at dawn, he walked up the mountain and stood by the dog's grave for a few minutes.If you go to Mount Snowdon in Wales, people will show you where Gelert is buried. There is a sign by his grave. It reminds people of a brave and faithful dog.（1）Gelert was the dog of the Prince of ________.A.ScotlandB.EnglandC.IrelandD.Wales（2）The Prince told the dog to ________ when he was leaving.A.watch the doorB.take care of his baby at homeC.welcome his friendsD.stop the strangers（3）The dog was very ________ when his master came back from hunting.A.gladB.fearfulC.afraidD.tired（4）The Prince was surprised to see blood on Gelert's ________.A.jawsB.pawsC.headD.Both A and C.（5）The Prince never smiled again because ________.A.the wolf was killed by GelertB.he had buried the dog on the top of mountainC.he had killed his faithful friend GelertD.Gelert had killed his baby son3）when it was in fact caused by a different factor为when引导的时间状语从句；4）such as simply being distracted or thoughtful为介词短语作状语。

The restaurant has amazed customers with its fully-automated (全自动的) technology, which covers every step of the dining experience, from ordering to cooking to serving thedishes and even taking payment.Entering the restaurant, one can order dishes by simply scanning the QR codes on the table. There are over 40 choices of dishes. After taking the order, “robot cooks” prepare dishes using fixed time, temperature and ingredients designed by famous Chinese cooks.“As the cooking is controlled by a computer system, the taste and quality of dishes can be good,” said Li Xiaokui, manager of the X Future Restaurant.Robots also complete the delivery of dishes. Without following any designed route, the robot waiters serve meals thanks to automated driving technology, which helps each robot timely change its route when something is in the way.These eye-catching technologies have received wide praise from customers. “The dishes taste surprisingly good. I couldn’t believe that they were made by robots, especially dishes that were difficult to cook.” one customer said. “The application of robots has increased our efficien cy and cut down our costs,” Li said, “I think robot restaurants will develop fast and have a bright future.”4.

What is Li’s attitude toward the future of robot restaurantsA. Hopeful.B. Doubtful.C. Puzzled.D. Worried.CWe know it can be hard to put your phone to bed before you sleep. However, if y ou’re trying to improve your sleep, you really should ditch your phone at least an hour before bedtime. Luckily, our experts can help.Scientific evidence suggests that the blue light emitted from your phone, tablet, computer, and TV suppresses (抑制) your b ody’s production of melatonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙) that plays animportant role in your sleep cycle. Melatonin release in the evening helps you relax before bedtime. A 2013 study that analyzed technology use and sleep patterns with data from a National Sleep Foundation poll found that using devices like phones was tied to more sleep disruption than electronics that aren’t interactive. Many of us use the excuse that our mobile devices serve as our wake-up calls, or keep them nearby to use meditation apps. If you want to use your phone as an alarm, consider setting it a couple of hours before you turn in for the night, and then setting the phone itself to bedtime mode for the rest of the evening.Here’s another groundbreaking idea: You could get a real alarm clock. After reviewing them at Reviewed, we recommend the Sharp Dream Caster. Not only is it easy to set a wake-up time, the clock includes white noises and rain noises to help you sleep, plus a number of volume settings to pick what works best for you.But an alarm clock won’t help you avoid doom-scrolling through social media. Take things a step further by avoiding using electronic devices. You can try reading a book (one made of paper), taking a bath or drinking a cup of chamomile tea.Finally, if you want to keep up your meditation practice screen-free, consider the Morphée. It looks like a little music box and comes with a variety of breathing exercises and soundscapes to help youget to sleep.8. What does the underlined word “ditch” in paragraph 1 probably meanA. Set aside.B. Pick up.C. Show off.D. Turn to.9. What may be caused by the suppression of melatoninA. Relaxing yourself before bedtime.B. Sleeping less than you normally would.C. Adapting to your sleep cycle more easily.D. Reducing the pressure from screen use.10. Why is the Sharp Dream Caster recommendedA. It is sold at a lower price.B. It can predict a heavy rain.C. It is controlled by cellphone.D. It helps put your eyes together.11. What is suggested for better sleep according to paragraph 5A. Making the best of the eco-friendly products.B. Making a change according to circumstances.C. Establishing a bedtime routine without electronics.D. Keeping a consistent bedtime and wake-up time.第二节(共5小题;每题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

He enjoys the excitement of surfing（冲浪）. And besides, he likes riding his skateboard.Carson is very hard-working, only a 12-year-old boy. He just completed seventh grade. And, school wasclosely connected with the creation of his company. His story is proof that necessity is truly the mother of4.A team of scientists says that playing sounds underwater can get fish to return to areas with severely damaged coral reefs. In an experiment, they found fish returned after hearing recordings of the sounds of a healthy ocean reef.The scientists placed underwater speakers in areas where coral had been dying in Australia's northern Great Barrier Reef. They played the sounds over a period of about six weeks in 2017 and studied the results. The team reported that twice as many fish arrived in areas where the sounds of healthy coral were played. The sounds also led to a 50 percent increase in the number of species present in the area, the researchers found. Among the arriving fish were species that feed on all major food sources.Different species of fish perform many activities that support the ocean environment and sea life. "Damaged reefs have a higher chance of recovery if they have healthy fish populations," the scientists wrote in the report. Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places. They contain the sounds of many kinds of shrimp, fish and other sea creatures. Young fish listen for these sounds when they are looking for a place to settle.Reefs "become ghostly quiet" when they suffer destruction that is usually related to human-caused pollution. Coral damage can cause unappealing smells and sounds that drive shrimp and fish away. But the experiment suggested that the use of underwater loudspeakers was an effective way to get young fish to come back. The return of these fish is the first step to seeing major improvements in reef health. Recovery is supported by fish that clean the reef and create space for corals to regrow. The underwater sounds are a promising way to fight coral reef damage at the local community level. But other threats need to be reduced as well. These include climate change, pollution and overfishing.（1）The final purpose of putting sounds speaker systems underwater is to ________.A.catch more fishB.attract more speciesC.help damaged coralD.cause more fish to return（2）What can we learn from the text?A.Healthy sea life contributes to the ocean environment.B.Healthy corals depend on a variety of sea species.C.Coral reefs become noisy when they suffer pollution.D.Coral damage is caused by unappealing smells and sounds.（3）What's the best title of this passage?e Sounds to Call Fish Back to CoralB.Find Ways to Recover Sea Ecological BalanceC.Coral Reef Damage, Human's ErrorD.Coral Reef Needs Peaceful Environment（4）Where is the passage most likely from?A.A researcher's diary.B.A geographic guidebook.C.An academic report.D.A technological magazine.D.The time management.（2）What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Ways to find the precise entry angle.B.Consequences of wrong entry degree.C.Factors to survive "the seven minutes".D.Reasons for the necessity of speed reducing.（3）What does "it" refer to in paragraph 4?A.The spot.B.The area.C.The system.D.The surface.（4）What can be inferred from Lori Glaze's words?A.Instruments aboard the rover are not quite reliable.B.Perseverance is able to collect enough evidence needed.C.Man still has a long way to go to prove life was on Mars.D.Samples of Mars will be returned soon to our labs on the earth.三、书面表达（本题共计 2 小题，每题 5 分，共计10分）6. 假设你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华，你校正在招募志愿者，为春节期间中外学生交流活动做准备。

However, most people don’t know the name of the man who invented th e television, Philo Farnsworth.Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906 and grew up on a potato farm. As a boy, he loved to learn about science, and he read a lot of science books. When he was only thirteen years old, he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds. He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field. The potatoes grew in long lines, side by side. This made a shape in Philo’s mind. This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass. But he was poor, so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time.Later, Philo worked at many different jobs. He worked with trees. He worked on broken radios. He worked on trains. He also worked as a street cleaner. At last, two rich men heard about his idea for television, and they gave him the money to make it. On September 7th, 1927, they watched Philo testthe machine he built. When Philo turned on the machine, a small line could be seen on the glass. Philo sa id, “There you have it, electric television.”Later, a big company, RCA, said they had made the first television. Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them. Finally, he won. Then, World War Two started in 1939. During the war, Philo spent a lot of money helping the US army instead of building up his television company. After the war, other bigger, richer companies started making televisions. In the end, Philo had to sell his company.66. Why does the author mention Bell and Edison at the beginning of the text?A.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Chinese are very generous(慷慨) when it comes to educating their children. Parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad. They also want their children to take extra -course activities. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.As a result, parents can see that their children have some skills that others don’t have. And their children will probably do better in study in the future.But the problem is that parents are not educating them the most important skills they need?to be confident, happy and clever in life.In fact, the best education can also be very cheap. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and time. It is an enjoyable butdifficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.Besides, some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse(激发) his interest. Your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.What Chinese parents do in 71.________Ⅰ. Parents’ beliefthe72.________ they spend on education, the betterⅡ.

Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Startingfrom June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.Many disposable things are made of plastic, not easy to rot away. People throw them away after using them only once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 yearsto break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.At home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to use daily necessities （日用品）once more. Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.81. Please list at least 4 disposable things mentioned in the passage. (No more than 5 words)82. What will happen in some hotels in Beijing starting from June according to the passage?(No more than 9 words)83. Why is it bad to throw disposables away after using them only once?(No more than 15words)84. How can we be more environmentally friendly when we are in our canteen?(No more than 11 words)Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.请以My favorite sport为题，写一篇英语短文。

AVisit the Newseum During “Museum Day” ！Museum Day is an annual celebration of boundless curiosity hosted by Smithsonian magazine. Participating museums and cultural institutions across the country provide free entry to anyone presenting a Museum Day ticket. The Museum Day ticket provides free admission for two people. Here is some information about a popular museum — the Newseum.EVENT DETAILSRegistration: free tickets will be available for the public to download on December 15 via thelink : https ://www. smithsonianmag. com/museumday/museum-day-2018/.Advanced registration is requested so that the museum sites know how many people to expect.

On the 6th floor, the Hank Greenspun Terrace, which overlooks Pennsylvania Avenue and the U. S. Capitol, has one of the best views in Washington, DC. After that you can proceed through the museum’ s exhibits starting on the 6th floor and working our way down.

Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. It’s rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your “lucky fortune” on the slip of paper inside.The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was the first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with “thank you” notes in them. These “thank you” notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of his early life in America.There is an alternate origin story. Los Angeles is regarded as the site of the fortune cookie’s invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L. A., is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day ——an evidence to the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was citedfor being “too American.”So the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.24. What do we know about fortune cookies?A. They are as popular in China as in America.B.They first appeared in America during WWII.C. They contain slips of paper with good wishes.D. They are often charged to the customers’ bill.25. Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco?A. To make profit.B. To express gratitude.C. To uplift people’s spiritsD. To help people out of hardship.26. Which of the following sentences may be found in Jung’ s cookies?A. The fortune you seek is in another cookie.B. Every exit is an entrance to new experiences.C. I’m being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.D. Only taste fortune cookies; disregard all others27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Symbol of Chinese CultureB. Chinese Restaurants in AmericaC. Can fortune cookie tell your fortune?D. Fortune cookie, Chinese or American?CStudying music in high school is good for young people. Unfortunately, students do not think of music studies as a useful subject in high schools. They always learn other subjects or sleep in music classes. However, educators have seen the great difference which studying music has made in the minds and lives of their students.Some studies find that children who study music have better grades. According to Robert A Cutietta and Harvey Mercadoocasio, authors of “Raising Musical Kids: A Guide for Parents”, “Students who study music in high school, as a group, have higher scores than those not in bands.”Studying music may not immediately lead to higher grades. It does, however, make students gain skills that can lead to success in tests.Through listening to music, one can enjoy the joy which music may bring into his life.Performing as a musician increases this joy, while developing self-confidence. According to Cutietta and Mercadocasio, “Being involved in music in a meaningful (and knowledgeable) way will add greatly to the quality of your child’s life. It increases brain power along the way.”Studying music as a high school student allows teenagers to develop many healthy and productive habits that will carry over into their adult lives, giving them a push towards a successful life. In addition to these habits, studying music really changes the brain in some way, as well.“Kids who receive music training often make great progress in math studies.” According to Newsweek. It quotes psychologist Martin Gardiner:“they just shoot ahead in math. This can’t be explained by attention alone. There is something specific between music and math.”28. As for high school students, the author holds that ________.A. they understand music studies in high schoolB. they should learn other subjects instead of musicC. they should take music studies seriouslyD. they can choose to study music as they like29. Studying music in high school ________.A. immediately leads to high gradesB. helps students improve in some skillsC. changes students’ lives in high schoolD. provides more joy than listening to music30. Accor ding to Para.4, listening to music can _________.A. bring one some joyB. develop self-confidenceC. improve parents’ life qualityD. increase adults’ brain power31. Why is studying music good for young people’s future?A. Because it lets young people get good grades.B. Because it improves young people’s life quality.C. Because it makes young people more confident.D. Because it makes young people develop good habits.DAs PhD research goes, Brian Wisenden might be envied: watching baby fish swimming swiftly through the clear waters in the Costa Rican tropical dry forest. By recording their growth and numbers, he hoped to look at their risks of being eaten. Instead, he witnessed something strange. Many groups were increasing in numbers. In these groups, some were smaller than others, suggesting they weren’t siblings. Wisenden had accidentally discovered that the fish, called convict cichlids, adopt each other’s babies. Why would they do that, he wondered?In the human world, we think of adoption as a selfless act. But in nature, its presence is puzzling. Taking on the burden of bringing up babies with no genetic link would seem to reduce an animal’s chance of survival or at least provide nogain. Yet, adoption is surprisingly common in the natural world.Take the eastern grey kangaroo. Between 2008 and 2013, Wisenden followed the fates of 326 baby kangaroos in the Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria and recorded 11 cases of pouch (育儿袋) swapping. The circumstances behind some of these adoptions ar en’t known, but four were straight swaps and another four occurred after a mother had lost her own baby. How come? Before independence, baby kangaroos go through a period inside and outside their mothers pouch. Following out-of-pouch attempts, mothers normally sniff their young before allowing them back in, but Wisendens team suspect that during an emergency they may omit the sniff test, allowing a weak baby to quickly climb in before fleeing from danger.Some of nature’s adoptions are, actually, driven by young. In burrower bugs (土蝽), for example, females lay a nest of eggs close to those of unrelated bugs. Mother bugs tend their developing eggs before they hatch, and then feed babies nuts from weedy mint plants. Finding nuts is a competitive business, so not every mother bug gets her fair share. And if the delivery rate isn’t up to standard, clever young may abandon their mothers to join a better-fed group.The consequences of adoption following mistaken identity can be horrible. The true babies of adopting mothers were abandoned. But it can have remarkable benefits, not just for adoptees but also for adoptive parents.32. What can we learn about Wisenden’s research about baby fish?A. It was beyond his expectations.B. It put many rare species at risk.C. It showed a genetic similarity in fish .D. It found a new way to protect forests.33. What does the underlined word “omit” mean in the passage?A. confirm.B. repeat.C. adopt.D. skip.34. Why would some burrower hugs abandon their mothers?A. To live in warmer nests.B. To reproduce.C. To seek for better parenting.D. To adapt to competition earlier.35. What may the author most probably talk about next?A. The causes of accidental adoption.B. The processes of accidental adoption.C. The drawbacks of accidental adoption.D. The advantages of accidental adoption.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
