Managers.BLaura Sides was a psychology major at the University of Nottingham in 2004. She first noticed signs of her dad’s developing dementia(痴呆) when she moved to Nottingham. She said, “Da d was a doctor, so he knew exactly what had happened to him, but people try to hide it when they are ill. Then, I came home for my 21st birthday and arranged to meet him, but he never showed up as he’d forgotten. That’s when I knew something serious had ha ppened.”So, aged 21, she decided to leave university and look after him herself. She lived close by, popping in every day to make surehe was eating, and that the house was tidy, before heading off to her work.Besides challenging moments, there was a time when looking after her dad was a pure joy. “We’d wake up, I’d ask what he wanted to do that day, and however ridiculous the adventure is, off we’d go.”Sadly, in 2009, 5 years later, Laura lost her father. Before he died, Laura went to a hospital appointment with him, where doctors mentioned that his form of Alzheimer’s disease was genetic meaning there was a fifty-fifty chance that she had inherited it. For several years Laura agonised over whether to be tested, finally finding out in August 2017 that she has the APP gene, meaning that, like him, she will develop the condition within a decade.At first, she struggled, feeling as if her life lacked purpose. Then, during a sleepless night in the summer of 2018, she decided at around 2 a.m. to enter the 2019 London Marathon sponsored by the charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK.100%Satisfaction GuaranteeYour purchase of National Geographic Kids is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

That said, the support I’ve received so far after going public has been amazing—that’s what is carrying me through.”24. Laura noticed her father’s dementia when .A. her father told her his condition in personB. people nearby informed her of his father’s conditionC. her father forgot his own birthday partyD. her father forgot to attend her 21-year-old birthday party25. The underlined word “agonised” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A. excitedB. struggledC. shockedD. delighted26. Laura started the open talk in the hope of .A. getting people to talk about Alzheimer’s disease openlyB. earning some money to help treat her Alzheimer’s diseaseC. making herself stronger to fight against Alzheimer’s diseaseD. raising funds for charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s disease Research UK27. Which words can best describe Laura?A. Caring and positive.B. Careful and honest.C. Patient and cautious.D. Devoted and modest.CAccording to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, 33 percent of coral reefs(珊瑚礁) are in danger. One of thevictims is the Great Barr ier Reef in Australia, the world’s largest coral reef system.A team of British and Australian scientists banded and came up with a solution to revive one of the world’s seven natural wonders. They used underwater loudspeakers to attract fishes to the dead coral reefs to help them restore. The groundbreaking process is known as “acoustic(声音的) enrichment”.Loudspeakers are placed on patches of dead corals in the Great Barrier Reef. After careful observation, researchers discovered a favorable result—nearly twice as many fish arrived—and stayed, as compared to parts where there was no sound from speakers.“Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places—the crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoop of fish combine to form a biological soundscape. Young fish home in on these sounds when they’re looking for a place to settle.” said Professor Steve Simpson at the University of Exeter.Reefs become quiet when they are decarded(退化), as the shrimps and fish disappear. “By using loudspeakers to restore this lost sounds cape, we can attract young fish back again,” Simpson added. “Fish are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems…Boosting fish populations in this way could help kick-start natural recovery processes, counteracting(抵消) the damage we’re seeing on many coral reefs around the world.” he said.Despite this groundbreaking discovery, we still have our work cut out for the preservation of coral reefs. The average water temperatures are rising, and problems such as overfishing and pollution are still among the pressing issues at hand. Also, further research is still needed to understand how loudspeakersinfluence the behavior of aquatic(水中) creatures fully.Nevertheless, hope is still visible for the degraded coral reefs. The authors of the acoustic enrichment study remain to be optimistic in the power of music and sound to restore the reef’s abundant marine population.28. How does “acoustic enrichment” function according to the text?A. By scaring the enemy of fishes.B. By making degraded reefs noisier.C. By appealing to young fishes.D. By making fishes multiply faster.29. What does Prof Simpson think of bringing fish back?A. It can help rebuild the coral reefs’ ecosystem.B. It can benefit the other lives in the ocean.C. It can make the ocean noisier and cleaner.D. It can improve the food chains of the ocean.30. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. The research has achieved a complete success.B. It is tough to restore the damaged coral reefs.C. Global winning is the biggest reason for reef victims.D. Music and sound benefit endangered animals.31. What is the text mainly about?A. The threats coral reefs face nowadaysB. The world’s biggest coral reef systemC. Various reasons why corals are threatenedD. A novel approach to degraded coral reefsDClaude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci ... the art world has never lacked talent. And now,a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isn’teven human.Next month, auction house(拍卖行) Christie’s Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art created by artificial intelligence for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond De Belamy, and is expected to be sold for up to $10,000 (69,000 yuan).The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector from France, called the work “ridiculous and amazing at the same time”. This isn’t the first example of AI-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all.According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, art is about creating emotion. It’s “a means of … joining people together in the same feelings”, he once said.So, if the emotion behind art is what makes the art, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they “fed” the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.32. Why are Monet, Picasso and da Vinci mentioned at the beginning of the passage?A. To list world famous talented artists.B. To introduce a new painter as great as them.C. To show the prosperity of the art world.D. To highlight the inhuman painter by contrast.33. Why does the painting mentioned in Paragraph 2 gain special concern?A. It’s the first AI-produced artwork for sale.B. It’ll be auctioned in a famous auction house.C. It’s the portrait of a man with mysterious look.D. Its auction price is expected to be the highest.34. Which of the following statement may Leo Tolstoy agree with?A. AI technology is a tool for artistic creation.B. AI is taught to express human emotions in art.C. AI copied paintings of the14th-18th centuries.D. AI art joins people together in the same feelings.35. What might be the future of the new artistic movement?A. Popular.B. Unclear.C. Predictable.D. Unacceptable.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。

In order to give each student the individualized attention he or she (21)__________(deserve) , I cap the class size at 15. Someyears back，while calling out names from the roster (花名册)on the first day，I noticed a gray-haired woman of about 70. She (22)__________(hang) about at the door, with her new bookslike a schoolgirl."I'm not on the roster, she volunteered, clearly self-conscious about all the (23 )__________(seat) 18-year-olds looking her over. But I was wondering if I (24)just sit in on the first class，to see what it’s about. ”There were already 15 in the class, but this woman’s eagerness impressed me，so I invited her to have a seat.I began by chatting informally with the class to get a feel for how much knowledge they were bringing to (25)__________course. The result of open admissions is that4professors are faced with very uneven crops of students, many of (26) __________ know relatively little about the world around them.In marine biology I like to see if they know the difference between fishes and seagoing mammals (哺乳动物).I often hold up a (海绵）in the hope (27)__________ someone will recognize it as an animal rather than a plant. I talk about the difference between a sea and an ocean.(28)__________ I questioned，most of my new students remained silent. But Natalie, the older woman, was on the edge of her seat, (29)__________( volunteer) answers with the quickness of a game show contestant. In time, I felt as if it were just she and I engaged in a private conversation. At the end of class，she came up to me and apologized for being the “extra” student. “I certainly wish I could take this course，’’ she said. “Will you offer it next week?” Alarmed at the prospect of losing her, I acted quickly to relieve (30)_____ concern.“I’ll see you next class，” T said.Section BDirections： Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The Trunkster, a bag with built-in smart features might just challenge the standard roller bag. The main security feature: It's zipperless(无拉链）. A sliding roll top-door design allows for easy 31_________by the owner, but reduces the risk of theft or accidental opening during baggage32________. If airport security has to search the bag, there is a TSA-approved combination lock. Need to juice up your phone? A 33_________battery can charge portable devices through a USB connection. Perhaps the coolest part — especially if your holiday shopping habits put you at risk of going beyond baggage weight 34_________- is a built-in digital scale. Want to know how much stuff you，re pulling?5Lift the bag and the display on 出e handle shows weight in pounds or kilograms.Trunkster co-founder Jesse Potash said he and his co-founder, based in New York, created the luggage in 2014, after finding nothing they believed prioritized accessibility. They wanted to “completely 35________” the classic case — with zippers —for “the modem’ minimal (极简的）traveler,” Polash says. He adds that they didn’t want to 36________the user with “as manyfeatures as possible" because that would not be required.One more feature you can add on? Tracking. Airlines are 37________ doing a better job these days of not losing bags. But for those who want to 38________ their cases there are stand-alone gadgets（精巧的装置）like the Trakdot or Pocket-Finder Luggage Tracker.

"When you have this much technology in a suitcase ... there are more things to break," says George Hobica, a world traveler. Besides, the Trunkster is all black, and we all know that finding a black-colored bag in a sea of suitcases is like searching for a blade of grass on a football field.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Most of the time, people are well aware of the circumstances of exchange： they exchange this for that. But in the rare circumstances when they’ve not prepared with gift-giving in return, they can be 41________ with feelings of guilt. Receiving a gift, Jacques Derrida, a French thinker, thought, could make one feel like a 42 trapped in a cycle of economic exchange. People don^ like the feeling of being under obligation ( 人情债) , and try to dismiss the 43 they can feel as quickly as possible.Private gift-giving, as the Frankfurt school theorist Theodor Adorno worried, has become an empty procedure. There’s no denying that in at least some cases, people6give gifts 44________. This has less to do with gift-giving itself, and more to do with the choosing of gifts. Gift-giving looks like an obligation, and a fairly 45________one at that. Sure, there is giving gifts to lovers, friends and family. But then there is also the world of gift-giving like Secret Santa Claus, practices that keep gift-giving routines going well 46 the circles of people we know well enough to make choosing presents 47 .For these forced occasions, for, say, the coworker we‘ve never spoken to, there are pre-printed cards and commercial guides. Even when the receiver is well-known, people want to 48________the effort needed for gifting. A relative once sent me a gift basket of dried fruit, nuts and cured meats; both the offending party and I are vegetarians.If gift-giving has become more transaction (交易的），with the give-and-take a ( n ) 49________itself, so has complimenting.This 50________choice — fulfill your obligation to return the 51 or resign yourself lo guilt —comes from belonging to a society structured around commodities and their 52________.The trouble is, if compliments are transactions, feeling that we5re under obligation is a natural state of affairs. To imagine that we could completely overcome our ways of thinking about compliments, 53________，requires 54________our social and economic forms of life. 55________ a difficult demand，this could be the true gift Adorno and Derrida were hoping for.41. A. proud B. troubled C. happy D. debtor42. A.owner B. loaner C. donor D. exchange43. A. prejudice B. inferiority C. inequality D. priority44. A. reluctantly B. quickly C. carefully D. gladly45.

A. application B. promotion C. interaction D. exchange53. A. therefore B. however C. moreover D. meanwhile54. A. following B. restoring C_ rethinking D. proceeding55. A. Unless B. While C. Since D. WhetherSection BDirections; Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Northern Virginia Community College had agreed to stop awarding scholarships based on race.The college took that step, Virginia’s Attorney(司法局）said last week, after the U. S. Education Department's Office for Civil Rights had concluded that the privately financed scholarship programs for minority students did not follow established federal(联邦的）guidelines for such programs.The civil-rights office got involved when a white student at Northern Virginia complained in June 1996 that he had been illegally excluded from a scholarship program for minority students.Christopher Thompson argued in his complaint that such programs had been found unconstitutional―（不符合法规的）in 1994 by the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (联邦上诉法院第四管辖区），in a case involving a blacks-only scholarship at the University of Maryland at College Park.In a letter to the department last month, the state Attorney Genera’s Office said the college would alter its five scholarship programs that have been limited to students of certain races. All of the programs were financed by private donors8or groups."After careful consideration of the position taken by your office, in response to the complaint filed with the Office for Civil Rights by a student at the college, and the legal arguments presented to us by lawyers representing that student, the college has concluded that it will abandon its administration of race-based scholarships," wrote Maureen Riley Masten, an Assistant Attorney General.Northern Virginia officials said that two of the aid programs would be opened to students of all races, and that the sponsors of two others had asked that their money be returned. The sponsors of the fifth program said they would transfer the funds to a private, non-profit group that would continue to administer the scholarship to minority students only, the college said.Officials of many colleges have watched the Northern Virginia case because they believed that it might throw new light on how the Education Department would view the legality of scholarship programs financed by private donors.A spokesman for the department, Rodger Murphey, said he did not believe that a new precedent (判例）had been set in the case，56. What was Christopher Thompson’s complaint?A. He wasn’t qualified for his college’s race-based scholarships as a white student.B. The lawyers refused to represent him in his appeal against his college’s decision.C. Northern Virginia officials decided that his appeal to the state court was illegal.D. The civil-rights office failed to respond to his complaint about his college.57. What was the civil-rights office’s position in Christopher Thompsons case?A. The college should justify its race-based scholarship programs.B. The college should transfer its scholarship funds to non-profit groups.C. The college should open its scholarship programs to students of all races.D. The college should put aside its prejudice against white students.958. How did Northern Virginia Community College respond to the civil-rights office's decision?A. It continued to administer its scholarship programs despite the complaint.B. It got new sponsors to open scholarship programs to students of all races.C. It stopped its scholarship programs temporarily to confirm their legality.D. It abandoned its scholarship programs exclusively for minority students.59. Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?A. Christopher Thompson based his complaint legally on the Maryland case.B. The legality of privately financed scholarships was still uncertain.C. Race-based scholarship programs would be presented in a new form.D. The courts decision in the case would be followed in later similar cases.(B)SHORE EXCURSIONSORDER FORMPrint Full Name：Stateroom：Signature： E-mail：By Signing, I agree to the application of the tour charges l〇 my account; understand the cancellation policy, have read the onboard tour descriptions, available at the Shore Excursion Desk, and the Know before you go, located on this order form.Cancellation Policy ： All tours cancelled within 48 hours before arrival in the port where the tour is scheduled to operate are non-refundable.

But in the late ‘60s，at the Stanford Research Institute,12Engelbart invented almost everything your personal computer has today： a mouse, hypertext, screen sharing and more. In 1968 he made real-time edits to documents nearly 40 years before Google Docs hit screens; video chatted with friends long before Skype’s 2003 arrival; and resized windows years before Microsoft entered the field in 1975. Engelbart was adding graphics (图形），hyperlinking and sharing screens —all before the birth of the World Wide Web. “ The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing," said Engelbart, and as it turns out, he held all the right cards.If he’d been British，Engelbart would have been knighted(授爵），but the Portland， Oregon, native instead lived out the rest of his years as an unsung hero, trying to fry even bigger fish in Silicon Valley. His blueprint of the Internet was radically different from today’s profit- driven, streamlined version. Engelbart imagined an information system built on the backbones of cooperation and education, all meant to enhance the collective human mind. He wanted a computerized network of real-time, human-wide cooperation, with the open-source spirit of Wikipedia and the purposefulness of Change, org.By the late 70s and early ‘80s，Engelbart and his ideas were cast aside in favor of Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows, along with their profit-generating vision for personal computing, and a user-friendly approach to the Internet. Engelbart ’s team of researchers abandoned him, and he had a lesser position at a company called Tymshare while still battling with his pie-in-the-sky visions of a better world. Even worse, when Engelbart^ mouse invention gained widespread use years later, he never gained the profits — it had been licensed to Apple for around $40,000, Engelbart revealed.And if Engelbart had won? “ Hard to say,” says Jefferson Bailey of the Internet Archive in San Francisco. The Web was bound to grow in ways its founders never intended, he says. He notes his belief that the same spirit of knowledge-sharing and cooperation Engelbart tirelessly pushed for will one day become part of our fast-evolving Internet, even if a commercial layer clouds the original vision. But even so，fame is difficult to achieve; it often ridicules great thinkers like Galileo or Tesla, only to meet them decades after death. Granted, Engelbart was eventually allowed into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, in 1988, and into the Pioneers Circle in the Internet Hall of Fame after his death, but the heart of his dream has yet to be realized.63. The expression 44his pie-in-the-sky visions of a better world” in Para. 3 refers13to______________A. the function of computer data processingB. a real-time video chat on the InternetC. a user-friendly approach to the InternetD. an Internet of knowledge-sharing and cooperation64. Most probably Enge lbart’s greatest regret was that___________________.A. he was too crazy about his vision of the Internet when totally ignoredB. he was not profitably rewarded for his landmark inventions of computerC. he was admitted to the U. S. National Inventors Hall of Fame too lateD. the Internet was commercially oriented against his original intention65. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Engelbart rose and fell in his all-out battle over the future of the Internet.B. Engelbart could have succeeded in the Internet with his landmark inventions.C. Engelbart failed to realize his ambition due to his humble position in Tymshare.D. Engelbart could hardly resist the profit-driven trend of the growing Internet.66. Which of the following is the best tide of the passage?A. Who Benefits from the Internet?B. Who lost the Internet Wars?C. Who Pioneered the World Wide Web?D. Who Commercialized the Internet?Section CDirections： Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Our study suggests that efforts should be made to structure activities so that instrumental consequences do not become motives.14B. That’s the secret of effective motivation.C. While this strategy may attract more recruits, it may also produce worse soldiers.D. Surely two motives are better than one.E. Discovering facts is inseparably related to the activity of research.F. Often, people have both internal and instrumental motives for doing what they do.There are two kinds of motive for engaging in any activity： internal and instrumental. If a scientist conducts research because he wants to discover important facts about the world, internal motive. If he conducts research because he wants to achieve scholarly fame, that's an instrumental motive. 67_____________________________.What mix of motives — internal or instrumental or both — is most favorable to success? You might suppose that a scientist motivated by a desire to discover facts and by a desire to achieve fame will do better work than a scientist motivated by just one of those desires.68_______________But as we and our colleagues argue in a paper, instrumental motives are not always useful and can actually be counterproductive to success.69._________________________Helping people focus on the meaning and impact of their work, rather than on, say, the financial returns it will bring, may be the best way to improve not only the quality of their work but also their financial success.There is a temptation among educators and instructors to use whatever motivational tools are available to recruit(招募）participants or improve performance. If the desire for military excellence and service to country fails to attract all the recruits that the Army needs, then perhaps appeals to “money for college，” “career training” or “seeing the world” will do the job.70._______________________Similarly，for students uninterested in learning，financial incentives（奖励）for good attendance or pizza parties for high performance may motivate them to participate, but it may result in less well-educated students.15Summary WritingDirections： Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage. Use your own words as far as possible.They like using the Internet. They have lots of pocket money to spend. And they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us. Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buy — games, CDs and clothing — are easily sold on the Web.But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a parents card. They want a facility that allows them to spend money.That may come sooner than they think : new ways to take pocket money into cyber space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products could stimulate online sales.In general, teenagers spend huge amounts： $153 bn (billion) in the US last year and £20 bn annually in the UK. Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school — 88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something online — mainly CDs and books.In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street. They’re more likely to ask “Why” if you ask to spend some money online.One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cybercash is through prepaid cards such as IntenetCash in the US and Smart cards in the UK, Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as £20 or $50 with a concealed 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.V. TranslationDirections： Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.161. 影视剧中虚构的情节往往被误认为是真实生活。

2020年高考英语临考冲刺卷浙江卷(三）The kitchen is not just where we prepare meals。
In many places, the kitchen is the heart of the home。
It’s where we connect with our family and friends. We have open talks about our pleasures and annoyances we met during the day while we make dinneror have a bite to eat。
So, it can be a very busy room in the house。
Sometimes you need order in the kitchen for things to run smoothly。
And sometimes you need one person to be in charge。
Imagine you are cooking dinner for your friends. As you are making the soup，your friend Sara tastes it and says，”This needs more salt。
" So，she adds more salt. Harlan comes to taste your soup and throws some fresh black pepper into the pot and some dried herbs。
Cecilia tastes the soup and pours in some vinegar。
What will the soup he like?You are happy to spend time with your friends。

2020年高考英语考前冲刺练习试卷（考试时间：90分钟试卷满分：120分）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）ATerrific New Technologies•A fashionable smart speakerThe new Amazon Echo smart speaker has the same popular feature as the original--an always listening voice assistant ready to play music and news, set timers, and use third-party apps. Only now it's actually stylish.The $120 speaker comes in different finishes, including fabric and wood.•A helping hand for parents10 Suzy Snooze helps babies and kids sleep so parents can catch up on their own sleep. It's a sound machine and a nightlight. It connects with an app over wi-fi and turns into an audio monitor. If a kid cries at midnight, it'll detect the sound and try to calm him back to sleep. It can also let early risers know when it's OK to get out of bed. Made by Bleep Bleeps, the $249"smart nightlight"has an adorable little face.•Safety for ding dongsDoorbells used to just ring, ding, and do ng. But thanks to modern technology, doorbells can now double as Internet-connected- surveillance(监视) devices.Rings $249 Video Doorbell Pro can record HD video of your front steps, even at night. It includes motion sensors and two-way audio, so you can yell "get off my lawn" from anywhere. You can also use the app to see what's going on in front of your house while you're at work or in the backyard.•The must-have kitchen gadgetThe Ins tant Pot makes food fast in one pot. The surprise kitchen hit is a combination of pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker and even yogurt maker. It has sensors and settings to make cooking as safe as possible. Starting at $80, an Instant Pot can make dishes in less time than it typically takes to cook them.1. What can Suzy Snooze do for parents?A. Provide sunlight.B. Play with babies.C. Comfort crying babies.D. Remind parents to wake up kids.2. What is the advantage of the Video Doorbell Pro compared with traditional doorbells?A. It can play HD videos.B. It can make a sound of ding-dong.C. It can communicate with the users.D. It can take on the work of a monitor.3. Who are most probably interested in the Instant Pot?A. Those who love fast food.B. Those who enjoy cooking.C. Those who are busy working.D. Those who like going camping.BMany people rush into the commitment of bringing home a four-legged family member, only to find out that they are not ready for a pet. This often results in the dog being turned over to a shelter where it may not find another home. This can be avoided if potential pet owners take the time to figure out if they are truly ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership.Being a responsible pet owner involves a financial commitment that goes beyond buying dog food. There are also parasite (寄生虫) prevention, boarding costs while traveling and the cost to care for the pet should it become ill or injured. That is not to say that one must be rich in order to have a dog, but it is important to be prepared for the expenses that come with being a pet owner.Another consideration is the time commitment. An owner away from home for 14 hours every day is not an ideal situation for a dog. A potential dog owner must also consider the time it takes to care for his or her pet, the time it takes to feed, walk, play with, bathe and clean up. Also, dogs require attention. Be prepared to spend time each day petting and playing with it.Dogs are dogs, and will act like dogs. This includes barking, digging, having accidents in the house and, possibly, destroying some of the owner’s prized possessions, such as furniture, shoes and cell phones. If the above would cause an owner to want to get rid ofthe dog, then he or she is not yet ready to be a pet owner. Many wonderful pets end up in shelters simply because they acted like dogs!4. Who might be qualified to be a dog owner, according to the text?A. Jim, who has a daughter sensitive to dog’s smell.B. Dick, a jobless teenager who can hardly pay his rent.C. Kari, a teacher who works eight hours a day.D. Steven, a business man who travels a lot on business.5. To be a responsible dog owner you need to do all the following EXCEPT _________A. finding a shelter for it when you are bored with itB. buying dog food and feeding itC. taking it to hospital when necessaryD. spending time each day playing with it6. What does the underlined part in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Rush to adopt a dog formally.B. Decide to be a pet owner without thinking about it carefully.C. Run into a pet shelter and take one home so quickly.D. Commit to buy a dog and take it home.7. What might be the best title for the text?A. Dogs Are DogsB. Pets Are Family MembersC. Have Time for a Dog?D. Ready for a Pet?CIn 2012, Kim Stemple was a special education teacher and a solid performer in her age group in marathons.And then she got sick.After three years of tests and treatments, the doctors figured out she has a rare mitochondrial disease that is causing progressive mental and physical health to go worse.They told her there was no cure and that this disease would take her life.Yet Stemple kept ruanning and competing in marathons.One day she was training for the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in Las Vegas when she became too sick to travel.The usually outgoing Stemple sunk into disappointment.But then she received a gift-it was a marathon medal given to her by a friend.Stemple bung the medal near her hospital bed and it was an instant conversation starter with doctors, nurses and anyone who came to visit. That medal pulled Stemple out of her disappointment. And that gave Stemple the idea to start We Finish Together, an organization devoted to connecting runners who wish to donate medals with those who might appreciate them. Stemple pens a hand - written note of encouragement on each of the medals she gives away-Recipients have included hospital patients,residents of homeless shelters and even doctors and nurses who care for the very ill."This gives them a connection to someone,"says Stemple."If they receive a medal,they know soceone cares.Can a simple medal really make a difference?Joan Musarra said yes,who suffered from a serious disease."I opened my package containing my new medal and the notes of positive,warm thoughts.I was really excited,"she wrote to Stemple.It means so much to me to feel that I am not alone.”8. What can we infer about Stemple before she got too sick to exercise?A. She was doubtful,B. She was optimistic.C. She was courageous.D. She was down-hearted.9. What inspired Stemple to found We Finish Together?A. Her friend's gift.B. The medals she won.C. The patients' request.D. The encouragement from doctors.10. How does Stemple's organization help people in need?A. By having chats.B. By contributing money.C. By giving out recycled medals.D. By connecting their relatives.11.Why did Musarra write the letter to Stemple?iberilbtdenckreslesde eA.To ask for another medal.bie. bemlidoallB.To discuss about their illnesses.C.To relieve the symptoms of her illness.D.To show the medal's positive effect on her.DYou can relax if remembering everything isn't your strong suit. Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength--in fact selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers found that the neurobiology of forgetting 10 02001U0 can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to remember.Making intelligent decisions doesn't mean you need to have all the information at hand. It just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients and situations. Our brains do this by creating new neurons(神经元) in our hippocampus, which have the power to overwrite(重写) existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.If you want to increase the number of new neurons in our brains' learning region, try exercising. Some aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking and swimming has been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.When we forget the names of certain clients or details about old jobs, the brain is making a choice that these details don't matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern, the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains facilitate decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on unimportant past details. Instead, the brain helps us remember the most important part of a conversation.We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail. These findings show us that total recall can be overvalued. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.12. How can we help our brains produce more neurons?A. By having deep sleep frequently.B. By practicing swimming regularly.C. By doing mental labor repeatedly.D. By learning new skills constantly.13. Which of the following can best replace "facilitate" underlined in Paragraph 5?A. Postpone.B. Repeat.C. Promote.D. Abuse.14. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?A. Memory loss is well worth noticing.B. Decisions can't be made without memories.C. We shouldn't stress total recall too much.D. Forgetting is even more important than remembering.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Caution: do remember to forget.B. Why and how people choose to forget.C. Want to become smarter? Learn to forget.D. Being forgetful might mean you are smarter.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。

A．Whether you're the new kid on the block at a company of 5 people or 50, introductions can be difficult.However, properly introducing yourself is a very important step in building both professional and personal relationships with your coworkers.You should first find out if your hiring manager is planning on sending out an email or introducing you in a team meeting. Then you will know your next steps, but ultimately it should be up to the human resources department or your supervisor to initiate early introductions.If he or she doesn’t follow through, then you’ll know you’ll need to take matters into your own hands.If you haven't been introduced to everyone already, don't be afraid to ask your supervisor if he or she is willing to introduce you to people you will be working with. You can handle it casually, so as not to sound demanding or upset. Just say, “I’ve started getting a feel for who works here a nd who I’ll be working with, but I’m still a little unclear. Think you’d have 10 minutes or so for a round of introductions this morning?”If your supervisor is inaccessible, use your common sense (or ask around) to figure out who you will likely be interfacing with and then introduce yourself to them in person if possible. If you work at a small company, it should be relatively easy to figure out who you’ll be collaborating with on a day-to-day basis.Starting a new job can be stressful. After all, on top of having a new job to do, you're meeting new people, and you're learning about your role in a new company. The more you prepare, the less stressful starting out will be.21. From the first paragraph, we know that _______.A. companies can be both large and smallB. introductions are too difficult to makeC. proper introductions are very importantD. to be professional is very important 【答案】：C【解析】：根据第一段原文“However, properly introducing yourself is a very important step in building both profe ssional and personal relationships with your coworkers.”可知，文章认为自我介绍对于职业发展和个人关系处理都是至关重要的。

He always plays baseball and basketball after school. His teachers tell him, “Patrick! Do your homework, or you can’t learn anything.”But what can he do? He hates homework.One day, his cat was playing with a little “doll”. He found it wasn’t a doll at all, but a man of the smallest size. The man called, “Save me! Don’t give me back to that cat. I have magic. I will help you if you save me!”How lucky he was! Here was the answer to all of his problems. So he said, “If you help me to do my homework until the last day of school, I will get good grades.”The man agreed. He began to do Patrick’s homework. The man didn’t always know what to do and he needed help. “Help me! Help me!”he said. And Patrick had to help. Day after day, Patrick had to work harder. Finally the last day of school arrived and the man was free to go. As for homework, Patrick didn’t hate doing it any more. Patrick got his A’s. His teachers and classmates were all surprised. Who really helped Patrick?1. Why did Patrick get the small man’s help?A. Because Patrick gave him a cat.B. Because Patrick helped him play with the cat.C. Because Patrick saved him.D. Because Patrick gave him lots of money.2. What does the sentence “Patrick got his A’s”mean?A. It means “Patrick got the teachers’help”.B. It means “Patrick got good grades”.C. It means “Patrick got more friends”.D. It means “Patrick got more problems”.3. Which of the following is not true?A. Patrick never hates doing his homework.B. The man sometimes didn’t know what to do when he helped Patrick.C. The man didn’t go until the last day of school.D. Patrick finally started to like doing homework.4. From the passage, we can know .A. the man liked to play with the catB. the man never helped Patrick do his homeworkC.

"These types of errors can serve as stepping stones to the right answer. But if the error made is a wild guess, then a person doesn't learn the correct information easily."Participants were shown the Spanish words and asked to guess their meanings. Then, they were briefly shown the correct translation of one word, before being shown another Spanish word. After repeating this process with 16 Spanish words, participants had a short break before their memory for the translations was tested. Researchers found that people were better able to think of the correct translations of Spanish words that were similar to the English words. They had greater difficulty recalling the meaning of words that looked misleading."Based on these findings, someone studying for an exam should take practice quizzes after reviewing the material," says Dr. Anderson. "If persons take a practice test and are unfamiliar with the content, they risk making guesses that are nowhere near the right answer. This could make it harder for them to learn the correct information later."1.What do people usually think of mistakes in learning?A.Necessary.B.Avoidable.C.Harmful.D.Beneficial.2.Which of the following best explains the underlined word "recalling" in Paragraph 3?A.Remembering.B.Realizing.C.Distinguishing.D.Understanding.3.Which of the following reflects Dr. Nicole Anderson's opinion?A.Errors of any kind are likely to help with learning.B.Taking practice tests before exams isn't always a good thing.C.Practice tests should be taken before lessons have been reviewed.D.It's important to make as few mistakes as possible during learning.4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Making Mistakes Is Also an ArtB.An Unexpected Way to Improve MemoryC.Trying to Remember the Correct Information Is ImportantD.Making Mistakes While Studying May Help You Learn Better5、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，有两项是多余选项。
