Finally, I applied for and got a position as a cancer doctor in a busy clinic in a big city. Now I was a cancer doctor myself, and I often had to tell patients bad news. It is a terribly difficult thing to inform someone that they have a serious illness. I also found that I couldn’t always answer patients’ questions. They would want to know whether they could be cured, or how long they would live, but it wasn’t always possible to say.
Cinderella Man
Russell Crowe teams up with the director Ron Howard for the story of the boxer James J. Braddock, who fell from___6___during the Great Depression, only to claw his way back and snatch the world heavyweight title in 1935. Crowe lends the character a___7___dourness (冷酷), refusing to turn Braddock’s bewildering comeback into a victory parade—a good thing, too, for without that unsmiling restraint the whole saga might sound too good to be true.

2024年全国高考仿真模拟卷一英语一、阅读理解第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A.B.C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)(共15题;共30分)ADuring ancient times,children didn’t have smartphones,iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead,they came up with interesting games to play.★Stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty,kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China,and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold.Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet.In1999,the sport was included in the6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.★Flying kitesKites have quite a long history.The earliest kites were made of wood,instead of paper.Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite,Tianjin kite,Weifang kite and Nantong kite,of which each has distinctive features.The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.★Hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children,popular around the nation.There are two ways to play:covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄)him or,more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.★Playing diabolosA diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center.By juggling(边抛边接)the diabolo on the rope,the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle.Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game,especially popular in North China.Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage.1.Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?A.To practice their feet B.To warm themselvesC.To train their skills D.To relax themselves.2.Which kites are swallow-shaped?A.Weifang kites.B.Tianjin kites.C.Beijing kites.D.Nantong kites.3.According to the passage,which one is a national intangible cultural heritage?A.Stone balls.B.Flying kites.C.Hide-and-seek.D.Playing diabolosBTechnology usually distracts us from nature.But now technology is“offering us an opportunity to listen to nonhumans in powerful ways,reviving our connection to the natural world,”wrote professor Karen Bakker in her new book,The Sounds of Life:How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants.All around the animal kingdom,there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher.Elephants, for example,communicate with each other using infrasound,a sound frequency far below our human hearing range.Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves,with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow.This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears!Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect.After the sounds are recorded,AI is then able to determine their meaning,according to the news website Vox.There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances.Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into“a zoological version of Google Translate”.One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant.She explained how elephants“have a different signal for honeybee,which is a threat,and a different signal for human,”in an interview with Vox.“Moreover,they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,”she said.This technology can not only understand the animals,but also communicate back to them.For example,bees use dances to communicate to their peers where to go in search of nectar.A research team in Germany,therefore,fed the bee language AI database system into a robot bee,allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move,Vox reported.Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes,with there being many examples of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)having been taught sign language to communicate with humans,this new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.4.What does the underlined word“decipher”most probably mean in paragraph2? A.Understand.B.Hear.C.Produce.D.Record.5.What helps baby coral choose their home?A.Infrasound.B.Sounds within human range of hearing. C.Sounds through its ears.D.Sound waves.6.What can we infer from the passage?A.Bees used dances to warn their peers of danger.B.Human fed listening devices into coral to detect it.C.Elephants have different signals for different purposes.D.Elephants can tell whether there are threatening animals around.7.Why did researchers create the robot bee?A.To collect more bee dances.B.To convey direction to bees.C.To learn the language of bees.D.To help bees search for their friends.CWhen you are travelling in Thailand,which means of transport is the best choice?You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand.It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north.The most popular bikes are the little125cc Honda Dream which you can get for about150baht(铢)a day or as little as3,000baht per month,making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi.When you are in cities in Thailand,especially in Bangkok,always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads.Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(计程表).They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good,so renting cars is another way to get around.The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable price.It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West.Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand,more expensive than American prices,but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe.In the past,Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai (泰语)only,making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around.But now,the situation is improved.In a lot of places,even the farthest corners of the country,street signs are in both Thai and English.8.To a foreigner,the cheapest way to get around Thailand is renting a______.A.car B.taxi C.bike D.motorbike9.What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?A.To take a taxi going on the road.B.To take a taxi parked outside hotels.C.To make sure there is a meter in it.D.To bargain with the driver over the price. 10.Why was it difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past?A.Because there were too many traffic jams on the roads.B.Because there were no signs showing directions.C.Because the signs were written only in their own language.D.Because the quality of the roads was not good.11.In which part of magazine can this passage be found?A.Entertainment B.Tourism C.Market D.AdvertisementDWilliam I,who conquered England some930years ago,had wealth,power and an army.Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time,he had nothing like a flush toilet(抽水马桶),or riding lawn mower(除草机).How did he get by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me.I have storm windows, Croesus did not.Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great,but he couldn,t buy cat food.Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people,you,d think I,d be content.The trouble is that,like most people,I compare my wealth with that of living persons:neighbors,school classmates,famous TV people.The greed I feel toward my friend Howard,s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.’There is really no rising or falling standard of living.Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about.You,d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood,but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course,one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today,s standards the things I own are pretty nice.My house is smaller than the houses of many investments bankers,but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides,to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future,these bankers,fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can,t keep up with my neighbors right now.But just wait.12.What does the underlined phrase“get by”in the first paragraph mean?A.Succeed as a king.B.Deal with complaints.C.Live in s satisfactory way.D.Get some extra money.13.How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A.3.B.4.C.5D.614.According to the passage,the author.intends to.A.tell us to be content with lifeB.warn us to live in a simple wayC.teach us to learn lessons from lifeD.encourage us to struggle for wealth15.What,s the author,s attitude towards life?A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Uncaring.D.Cautious.二、阅读理解第二节七选五(5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(共1题;共10分)Table manners are the ultimate way to show respect or some accidental disrespect to yourhost.___16___.In France,you are supposed to use two hands to eat—either fork and knife or fork and bread.Bread isn't meant to be an appetizer.___17___When you eat the bread,tear off a piece of it to eat instead of biting directly into the bread.When not in use,the bread belongs on the table or tablecloth instead of the plate.Finishing everything on your plate is a no-no in many Asian countries.___18___Leaving a small amount on your plate symbolizes that you've had your fill and acknowledges your host's generosity.___19___So,tipping,in their culture,is rude.Even if they don’t assume you’re being rude,they can also be very confused by the extra money,thinking you have overpaid.Whether it's a taxi driver,a server, or a bellhop,don't tip them.It's not good manners.Among the local people of China and the Inuit people of Canada,a light burp(打嗝)at the end of a meal is considered a compliment,as it indicates that you've eaten well.___20___,or never leave them upright in a bowl of rice.For this is how food is offered to the spirit of a dead person. A.Furthermore,don't lick your chopsticksB.Instead it serves to assist the food to the forkC.It suggests that your hosts didn't feed you enoughD.Many people in Japan believe that good service is standardE.In Brazil,bread and pizza are normally eaten with a fork and knife,tooF.Here are some of the very specific dining do's and don’ts from around the worldG.You may also drink directly from the soup bowl—spoons,however,are uncommon三、语言知识运用第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)(共1题;共30分)In October,2003I started my work at my local animal shelter’s Adoption Department.Over the years,more than50,000animals have___21___the doors of the shelter.Most of them,I do not remember.

Note that there is one word more than you needagree suffer system notice throughdangerous space limited absorbs let outFor years scientist have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more _1_ than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to _2_ eye-pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists _3_ that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.

As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control _7_ for building green plants. Scientist do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant produces oxygen _8_ its leaves and through its tiny organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each _9_ different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and healthier place.二、阅读理解It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classlesssociety' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.10.A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.A.people regard themselves socially differentB.most people belong to middle classC.it is easy to recognize a person’s classD.it is time to end class distinction11.The word “stratification” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A.variety B.qualification C.authority D.division 12.British attitudes towards accent ________.A.are based on regional statusB.have a long traditionC.are shared by the AmericansD.have changed in recent years13.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The middle class is expandingB.A person’s accent reflects his classC.Class is a key part of British societyD.Each class has unique characteristics.Kids are cool to wear blue jeans and T-shirts today. It is fashionable like that. Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. It’s important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends isn’t that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!During the 1960s and 1970s, Hippies made bell—bottomed blue jeans(喇叭裤)popular. Also, in the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants(降落伞裤)all the fashion. Now try to find these items in today’s clothing stores!Do you know why fashions change?The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movies stars, as well as popular films, television shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industry’s advertising.The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain(保持)their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate(模仿) their favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.Clothes have been used to separate people into groups for many years. Even today,brand-name, clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to make themselves different from others.Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Don’t forget that it’s always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality — not your clothes — speak for who you are!14.What does the example of bell—bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 2suggest?A.Fashion always changes.B.Stars are always influential.C.People have different dressing styles.D.Hippies and Michael Jackson are good designers.15.What causes the changes of fashions?A.Advertisements change rapidly.B.Popular culture influences people.C.Movie stars are changing over time.D.New films and shows replace the old.16.We can learn from the text that _____ .A.fashion is all about clothes.B.the author has gone out of fashion.C.clothes may separate and distance people.D.people like imitate others’ dressing style.17.What does the author mainly want to stress in the last paragraph?A.The advantages of staying unique.B.The bad effects of following fashion.C.The good influences of popular styles.D.The importance of having one’s own personality.The new study shows that we spend more time using the mobile Internet than reading newspapers or magazines. According to the European Interactive Advertising Association (EIAA), the average European spends 4.8 hours reading newspapers and magazines but 1.6 hours more using the mobile Internet a week.The EIAA questioned 15, 000 people in 15 European countries, looking at how people are using the Internet and its influence on their everyday lives. It has found that the mobile Internet is increasingly finding its way into the public awareness. Over 71 million Europeans now have Internet access on their mobiles phones. In the UK, 10 million people now access the Internet through their mobile phones and spend 6. 3 hours doing so in a week.Unsurprisingly younger generations in the UK are leading the way, with nearly half of the country’s 16-to-24-year-olds and a quarter of 25-to-34-year-olds using the mobile Internet,spending 6.5 and 6.2 hours online each week.Entertainment plays a major role in our mobile Internet lives, with one in five British people using their phones for online games, a third listening to the online radio and 39 percent watching films, TV or other videos at least once a week. One third of those using an Internet phone said they received videos, images or other multimedia on their mobile, and 61 percent said they passed on contents they received.From a communication point of view, 80 percent of those questioned agreed that the Internet had made it easier for them to stay in touch with friends and family.Alison Fennah, director of the EIAA, said the mobile Internet use had come to the point that marketers should be looking to develop strategies that connect with consumers more effectively. ‘‘Better devices as well as improved consumer motivation that start coming together in 2011 can make a great difference to extending the online experience.” Fennah said.18.How long does a European spend on the mobile Internet per week according to the EIAA?A.6. 2 hours.B.6. 4 hours.C.4. 8 hours.D.1. 6 hours.19.What do the words “doing so” mean in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Reading papers and magazines.B.Playing computer games.C.Watching films online.D.Using the mobile Internet.20.What do people mainly use the mobile Internet for?A.Communication.B.Study.C.Amusement.D.Advertising.21.It can be known from the passage that _______.A.more than half of the young people in the UK use the mobile Internet.B.the Internet is the most effective way to stay in touch with friends and family.C.the UK has the largest number of people who use the mobile Internet in Europe. D.better devices and improved consumer motivation help extend the online experience. 22.The author wrote the passage to tell us ________.A.how to use mobile phones to surf the InternetB.newspapers and magazines will disappear soonC.mobile surfing now is more popular than readingD.how the Internet influences our daily lifeGive a little sunshine!The Council on Aging (COA) runs a telephone friendship project called the Sunshine Call Program, matching over-60s with a friendly volunteer for a daily chat over the phone.

When comfortable, the volunteer introduces a second senior to the call. Then another, until there are four seniors to one volunteer on what is essentially a conference call. Without having to leave the house, you will help the seniors meet and make new friends. They will then exchange phone numbers to chat on their own and reduce their isolation.What are the volunteer qualifications?V olunteers must have access to the Internet and be willing to be trained on the use of a chat app. COA will provide all supplies required to make the calls. Besides, volunteers must agree to participate in monthly meetings with other volunteers and guest speakers. All volunteers must be willing to provide a recent Criminal Record Check, the cost of which will be borne by COA.And the most important volunteer qualification is a sense of caring and a desire to help seniors in the community!If you wish to volunteer with our Sunshine Call program, never hesitate!

But you don’t. What you want is respect and admiration from other people. ____28____ It almost never does—especially from the people you want to respect and admire you.____29____ Not struggling, and not unhappy, of course. But there’s no way to learn the value of money without feeling the power of lacking it. It teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable. It’ll make you learn to enjoy what you have, fix what’s broken, and shop for a bargain. These are primary survival skills.Some people are born into families that encourage education; others are from families that are against it. Some are born into peace and wealth; others, into war and poverty. I want you to be successful, and I want you to earn it. But realize that not all success is due to hard work and being poor is not always due to laziness. ____30____Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend. I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck, always on the edge of ruin. I know another person who has never earned more than $50,000 but saved a fortune____31____ Living with less is the most efficient way to control your financial future.Don’t listen to me if you disagree with what I’ve written. The world you grow up in will have different values and opportunities than the one I did. More importantly, you’ll learn best when you disagree with someone and then are forced to learn it yourself. On the other hand, always listen to your mother.A.I hope you’re poor at some point.B.If you do think so, you may get wrong.C.When he does, here are some suggestionsD.Your goals should be about more than money.E.You think having something expensive will bring it.F.The difference is entirely due to the way they spend.G.Keep this in mind when judging people, including yourself.四、完形填空The summer was over.

Each bird has certain other individuals itprefers to spend time with, and others it avoids. In other words, flamingos have friends.For five years, Rose and his team observed the daily goings on of five of the world's six different flamingo species housed at the WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre in Gloucestershire."The partnerships that we see between birds are non random. The birds are choosing who to associate with." Male-female pairs spend time together, but so do same-sex pairs and even groups of three or four. And those relationships can last for many years."So there were some flamingos in the group that really didn't care who their partner was for that day, they would flit(轻快地掠过)around… and they would have many different relationships with many different birds." And of course there were other flamingos that were less social butterfly and more alone wolf. But even they had a few close friends. "Those birds that were least social… had more investment in a smaller number of social connection with flamingos that they knew really well."Rose thinks that flamingos may have evolved(演变)their social lives due to their wetland habitats—in which the resources they need are concentrated in a small area.If flamingos know their partners, if they know that these six birds, say, are friendly, and they get on with them, they can then waste less energy scrapping and quarreling with other birds that they don't get on with.By spending time with their friends, flamingos can more efficiently direct their limited time and energy to activities like hunting and mating.(1)What do we know about flamingos?A.They are very elegant birds with big heads.B.They make friends with other flamingos they like.C.Male flamingos only spend time with female ones.D.They usually change partners every couple of months.(2)What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?A.Most flamingos don't care who their partner is.B.Flamingos always don't have close friends.C.A majority of flamingos are good at social activities.D.Some flamingos would fly around to find different friends.(3)How do social activities benefit flamingos?A.By storing food resources.B.By living a relaxing life.C.By flying further to get mating.D.By making the best of their time and energy.(4)What is the best title for the text?A.Flamingos Can Be Picky About CompanyB.Rose And His Research on WildlifeC.How to Protect the Endangered FlamingosD.Why do Flamingos Need Partners3.(12分)A new pastor(牧师)named John reopened a church that had been abandoned in a suburb. He found it broken, and in need of a lot of repair work. His goal was to have everything done in time for his first service on Christmas Eve.He worked hard. However, when John went to the church on Dec. 21, his heart sank: a large area of plaster(石膏)had fallen off the front wall due to a terrible storm the night before. John headed home, and on the way he stopped at a market selling items for charity.One of the items was an exquisite(精致的)handmade tablecloth. It was just the right size to cover up the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church. It started to snow. An old woman had missed her bus, and he invited her to wait in the warm church for the next one. As John put up the tablecloth the woman asked him to check the corner for the initials(手写字母). They were her initials: she had made this tablecloth 35 years before. Then the war broke out, and forced her to part with her husband.John wanted to give her the tablecloth. But she asked him to keep it for the church. John insisted on driving her home which he thought was the least he could do.What a wonderful service he had on Christmas Eve! John noticed one old man staring at the tablecloth on the front wall. The man said it was similar to one that his wife had made many years before.John brought the old man to the house where he had taken the woman three days earlier. He helped him climb the three flights of stairs to her apartment, and saw the greatest Christmas reunion he could ever have imagined.(1)According to Paragraph one, we learn that John decided to ______.A.help people affected by a terrible stormB.buy goods for charity in the neighborhoodC.repair the abandoned church before his first serviceD.do some work for the local people(2)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The woman's husband had to leave her because of a war.B.John's service on Christmas Eve was disappointing.C.Everyone was surprised by the beauty of the tablecloth.D.John drove the old man home because he was lost.(3)The tablecloth drew the old man's attention because ______.A.he loved its colorsB.he had seen it in a churchC.it was like one his wife had madeD.it looked strange hanging on a wall(4)What is the passage mainly about?A.A kind pastor who had difficulty repairing an ancient church.B.A new pastor who gave his first service with a couples' help.C.A tablecloth made 35 years ago being discovered by a pastor.D.An old couple being reunited on Christmas Eve through a tablecloth.4.(12分)So many everyday activities in modern life are done over the Internet. This includes everything from buying clothes to watching movies to even applying for colleges.Almost every college and university in the United States now offers some forms of Internet-based application. And future students can see photographs of schools on their websites. Some even provide video tours. Candidates can find all kinds of information about the schools they hope to attend all over the Internet. But Ed Bustos, director of international admission at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, argues that students miss out on a lot when they only use Internet information to make their college decisions. He says the best way to get a detailed look at what life is like at any college or university is by visiting the campus.School visits are very common in the U.S., Bustos notes. Most students begin visiting colleges and universities of interest in the summer before their final year of high school. But, the majority of colleges and universities let interested students and their families visit their campuses at almost any time of year. Bustos suggests that students get in touch with the admissions offices of the schools that interest them. Then they can join other visiting students for a free guided tour of the campus.Current students usually lead the tours, Bustos notes. Their job is to provide information, offer advice and show future students all the different parts of the campus, such as housing and classrooms. So students should prepare plenty of questions.Bustos also notes that it is never too early to visit a school. He says students should consider visiting any college or university they can. This could be years before they even start thinking about the application process. And it does not matter if the school they visit is the one they have interest in attending, he says. Simply witnessing the college experience in real life can be helpful for young people.(1)Through the websites of colleges and universities future students can ________.A.see what the campuses look likeB.take part in online group discussionsC.take online college coursesD.check in at their new schools(2)What can students learn from a guided tour?a. advice about college lifeb. information about the universityc. some famous professorsd. different parts of the campusA. abcB. acdC.bcdD. abd(3)From the last paragraph we can know ________.A. a student should only visit the university that interests himB. it's better to visit universities with a successful applicationC. visiting universities at any time is helpful for studentsD. it's difficult for students to successfully apply for a university(4)What's the best title for the passage?A.

How to Apply for a College that You Like5.(12分)Conch "Island" isn't technically an island, but a mountain of conch(海螺)shells thrown by fishermen in the same place over thousands of years.Located just east of Anegada, the second largest of the British Virgin Islands, in the Caribbean,Conch Island is both a wonderful tourist attraction and an evidence to the popularity of conch meat in this part of the world. For thousands of years, local fishermen have been diving in the shallow waters on this side of Anegada in search of these, slow-moving snails. Many of them have been throwing their large shells in the same spot. The shell mountain is a result of their perseverance(坚持).Conches are harvested both for their meat, which is a staple(主食)of Caribbean cuisine, and for their nice-looking shells, which are sold as jewelry. This makes us understand why local sellers don't just use the shells of Conch Island but also buy them from fishermen. Apparently, while these millions of conch shells make a wonderful sight from a distance, they aren't that pretty up close."These shells aren't as pretty as you probably think they are," Reddit user Viking Mart explained on the popular social network. "Most of of them are damaged. This is because in order to get the conch meat out, fishermen usually make a hole by the 'nose' of the shell. This is to reach and loosen the snail muscle and then pull it out. This leaves these conch shells damaged and one would probably have a hard time selling them."Modern day conch fishermen have been contributing heavily to the rise of Conch Island over the past 200 years, but while that has made it that much more attractive of a tourist attraction, it has also put the snails on the endangered species list.(1)What leads to the formation of Conch Island?A.The continuous birth of conches.B.The development of tourism.C.Increasing demand for conch meat.D.Shells thrown by farmers for a long time.(2)Why do sellers buy conches besides picking up them on the Conch Island?A.They need to sell conch meat.B.They want to help the poor fishermen.C.Those which are bought are of higher quality.D.Those on the Conch Island are damaged.(3)What can we learn from Viking Mart's words?A.Most people think shells are beautiful.B.The shells are not so good as people expect.C.Viking Mart is fond of surfing the Internet.D.Farmers always damage the shells on purpose.(4)What is the present situation of the conches?A.They sell well on the market.B.They live happily on Conch Island.C.They are becoming the endangered species.D.They are made into different shapes to sell.6.

Losing my graduation ceremony was one of them. But being unable to lend a hand to my community at such a terrible time was the greatest concern. Except for wearing my mask, following the health officials’ guidelines, and assisting seniors to get their groceries, there wasn’t anything more I could do.Then it struck me. Solving COVID-19 relied only on individual steps and the goodwill of human awareness. But the next challenge we have to deal with ahead is climate change known as the silent pandemic without a vaccine. So all I could think of was: Why don’t we do the same for it, and try to deal with global warming through our everyday activities?I have decided to take a gap year and created an app to help people reduce carbon emissions from their shopping and transport activities. Even though I’d never written anyprogram before, my will was greater than any excuse I could think of. The first version was just a one-screen app. Through the lockdown, I’ve had only 70 people to test the concept with and barely created any impact. Plus, the process of leading a social organization seemed like a small boat in a rough sea to me. But instead of giving up, I chose to fill the gap. And the coolest thing was that the more I was learning, the more people got interested in the idea. Through every leadership program, I built a stronger user community where each person was equally passionate and brave to make a change. Their enthusiasm was my greatest fuel for innovation.Today, through the app, over 4,000 people reduced more than 150,000 kg carbon emissions. The app turned into an international movement. I proved to myself that miracles really happen when you dare to make a change.7.What was the author’s greatest concern during COVID-19?A.Losing the graduation ceremony.B.Being unable to help his neighbours. C.Having to stay at home every day.D.Having to wear a mask every day. 8.What inspired the author to create the app?A.The active involvement of thousands of users.B.The author’s contributions to community service.C.The influence of human activities on global warming.D.Similarities between fighting climate change and COVID-19.9.What can we know about the app from the passage?A.It is for leading an organization.B.It is a well-designed one-screen app.C.It became an instant hit when first invented.D.It inspires people worldwide to make a change.10.How can we describe the author?A.Kind and humorous.B.Brave and adventurous. C.Determined and creative.D.Friendly and cautious.11.What message does the story convey?A.Education is the key to success.B.Ups and downs make one strong.C.Creativity results from challenging authority.D.Miracles will happen when you dare to make a change.Deafblind artist Tony Giordano led an adventurous life, traveling and playing sports, before completely losing his sight and hearing in 2018. “I was into everything. I loved adventures.” the Brooklyn native said during a Newsday interview on Tuesday.After learning to communicate using sign language, Giordano wondered what to do next after his sight and hearing losses. While reinventing his life, Giordano said getting into art was not something that crossed his mind at first. But after taking a creative arts class at the North Shore facility, Giordano began to discover he enjoyed it. Drawing on his nearly 30 years of experience as an auto mechanic, his welding(焊接) skills and various bursts of inspiration, Giordano began pouring himself into what’s become his specialty — designing metal sculptures.More than a year later, Giordano now is getting recognition for his art pieces. In December, Giordano made his first sale of a sculpture, a larger-than-life hand made of copper pipes and titled “I Love You” to artist and collector Jennifer Contini for $1,000. While proud of selling his first art piece, Giordano — who also repairs bicycles at a bike repair shop in St. James — admitted it made him a bit sad.“His work ethic is really incredible,” said Antonia Isnardi, Giordano’s art teacher. “Learning sculpture is really tough, requiring enormous attention and patience. He could easily say ‘I lost my vision. I can’t do this’, but he keeps fighting. He perseveres in everything and is willing to try something new to improve in any way.”Giordano will leave the Port Washington center this year and return to his home in the South. But he said he considers art his next adventure and hopes his sculptures will be a way to spread a positive message about the capabilities of the deafblind community.12.What inspired Giordano to go into art?A.Artistic inspiration.B.A teacher’s encouragement.C.A creative art class.D.Previous working experience. 13.What’s mainly discussed in Paragraph 4 about Giordano?A.Frustrations in his life.B.Difficulties for him in sculpturing. C.His strong will in learning.D.The art teacher’s remarks on him. 14.Which of the following best describes Giordano?A.Wealthy and honest.B.Creative and determined. C.Grateful and generous.D.Adventurous and humorous.15.Where is the text probably taken from?A.An art textbook.B.A local newspaper.C.A travel brochure D.A literature review.The artist Grandma Moses became famous for her simple, bright, cheerful paintings of American farm life.Her full name was Anna Mary Robertson Moses.But she was known to everyone as Grandma Moses because she did not begin to paint seriously until in her seventies.Born on a farm in New York, Anna had little schooling.Her days were filled with farm chores.But she often found time to make pictures.Soon, however, she became too busy to draw or paint.At the age of 12, she went to work as a servant for a family nearby.She worked for other people for many years.Then, when she was 27, she married Thomas Moses, a farmer.And they began raising a family of their own.Anna Moses could no longer do heavy farm work with age.Then, in her seventies, she began to paint in oils.Her pictures showed things she recalled from childhood-farm scenes,ice-skating, bringing home the Christmas tree.Later, she began to display her art at county fairs.Her pictures recorded a way of life that was quickly passing away.People everywhere loved these happy scenes, and soon her paintings were shown in art galleries.Grandma Moses became famous partially on account of her age, but mainly because her approach to art was modest and simple compared to many other painters of her time.Without formal training or even knowledge of Modernism, she relied on her own simple techniques to create her landscapes and scenes.She continued to paint almost until her death, on December 13, 1961 , at the age of 101.The themes in her paintings provided the comfort of a rural life that many busy Americans treasured from their past.The threat of nuclear arms that appeared on television screens and in magazines had Americans starving for something more.Grandma Moses' art appealed to those who had lost hope for the future.Her classic paintings still appear on TV commercials, greeting cards, and magazine and book covers.16.What can be inferred from the fact that Grandma Moses picked up a paintbrush? A.She had no other ways to kill time.B.Her friend and family suggested it.C.She had had a love for painting since her childhood.D.She needed to make a living by selling her paintings.17.The key reason for her success is ___ .A.her old age B.her plain styleC.her lack of training D.her modern knowledge18.We can know from the passage that ______.A.her paintings raised people's hope for the futureB.her paintings expressed the reality of her old ageC.many Americans were interested in purchasing art worksD.people wanted to get comfort by remembering grandmasForest are amazing and so are the animals that live in them. We enjoy watching TV shows about bears, bats or monkeys. We know a lot about their lives: how they find food or what they do at different times of the year. But what about smaller animals that are more difficult to see or film?Many small animals that live in forests are very important for the soil. A French scientist, Francois Xavier Joly, is studying one of them — the millipede(千足虫).The importance of leavesWhen the leaves begin to die in fall, they turn from green to yellow and fall from the trees. As they decompose on the ground, nutrients(营养物质) are returned to the soil and carbon dioxide to the air. Life in the forest needs these nutrients. Without them, plants could not grow and there would be no food for animals such as the millipede.Food on the forest floorSome living things, like mushrooms, break the leaves into smaller pieces and eat them. In a few months there is nothing left of them. But for mushrooms, not all trees are the same. Mushrooms prefer some types of leaves to others. This means that some leaves take much longer to be broken down than others. Sometimes it takes years. So what happens to these? This is where the millipede can help.More on the menuThe millipede also likes leaves and it eats any type. But when it has finished, it produces waste. This waste then becomes the food of mushrooms. When mushrooms eat leaves they choose only certain types but when they eat waste, they will eat any kind. This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue.So next time you are walking through a forest, remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet.19.According to the passage, what can we learn about the millipede?A.It can often be seen on TV shows.B.It mostly feeds on the nutrients in the soil.C.It is too small to be noticed by people.D.It lives under mushrooms in the forest.20.What does the underlined word "decompose" in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Break down.B.Dry up.C.Dig in.D.Make out.21.What does the author want to tell us by mentioning mushrooms?A.The millipede eats mushrooms in the forest.B.The millipede helps to provide food for mushrooms.C.Mushrooms play an important part in helping millipedes out.D.Mushrooms decide what types of leaves the millipede will eat.22.According to the author, the millipede is ________.A.poisonousB.rareC.unimportantD.amazing三、七选五You will be leaving this school at the end of this year and many people will ask you “So, what do you want to be?”Some of you may have already decided on a career path, but many of you still don’t have a clue! Here are some things you might want to consider.First, does the career you are considering have staying power?____23____ Rapid technological change is disruptive(创新的), and we need to be forward looking at our future expectation. While many occupations are being taken over by new technology, jobs that require high-level of critical thinking, emotional intelligence and human interaction, remainin high demand. These jobs are not easily replaced by machines or technology. ____24____ Second, choose a career that interests you. If you are truly passionate about your job then going to work every day won’t seem a chore.____25____ Before making a choice, you should examine your values, skills and personality type. This can help you decide if a career path is a good fit for you.____26____ A job with a big salary will likely require more time to get to the top, much more effort and a higher level of stress. Only the truly motivated can meet these challenges. If you’re struggling with other demands in your life, you might want to choose a less taxing line of work.____27____ It’s true especially when you’re not sure which direction to take. Let me leave you with an old saying: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”A.High pay plays a part.B.What do you enjoy doing?C.Will it be in demand in 20 years?D.Thinking about a life-long career at this stage is fearful.E.It’s also likely that you will stay and grow in this career.F.So think carefully about this before you can choose your professional path.G.Third, of course you will want to consider your chosen profession’s earning power.四、完形填空During a recent business trip there were no trains to the airport and many people were stranded (滞留) and had to buy new tickets for flights and also arrange hotels for the night.
