health newspaper．B．A science fiction．C．A travel website．D．A project handbook．2．（10分）In recent years，stressed﹣out people living in cities have been seeking protection in green spaces for the proven positive impacts on physical and mental health，but the benefits of "blue space"﹣the sea and coastline，but also rivers，lakes，canals，waterfalls，even fountains﹣are less well advertised，yet the science has been consistent for at least a decade：being by water is good for body and mind．"Many of the processes are exactly the same as with green space﹣with some added benefits，" says Dr Mathew White，a senior lecturer at the University of Exeter．White says there are three established pathways by which the presence of water is positively related to health and happiness．First，there are the beneficial environmental factors，such as less polluted air and more sunlight．Second，people who live by water tend to be more physicallyactive． Third﹣and this is where blue space seems to have an advantage over other natural environments﹣water has a psychological recovery effect．When you are sailing，surfing or swimming，says White，"you're really in step with natural forces there．"Catherine Kelly is a wellness practitioner who teaches classes in "mindfulness by the sea"．She says the sea has a quality that can make people thoughtful．"To go to the sea means letting go，" says Kelly．"It could be lying on a beach or somebody handing you a cocktail．For somebody else，it could be a wild，empty coast．But there is this really human sense of："Oh， look，there's the sea﹣and the shoulders drop．"（1）Why are blue spaces less popular than green spaces？A．Because green spaces are good to people's health．B．Because little research has been done on blue spaces．C．Because green spaces have more benefits than blue spaces．D．Because the benefits of green spaces are better advertised．（2）Where is blue space superior to other natural environments according to White？A．Where there's water，there's fresh air．B．People living near water are healthier．C．Water can help people restore mental health．D．The sea can make people lost in deep thought．（3）What can we learn from the last paragraph？A．The sea will bring you loneliness．B．The sea will hurt your shoulder．C． The sea will put you at ease．D．The sea will make you feel down．（4）What does the author mainly want to tell us？A．People in cities prefer green spaces．B．Blue spaces help both physically and mentally．C．Green spaces have been out of date．D．Ways to keep us healthy．3．（10分）Kevin Randall， a teacher，who teaches biology at Grandville High School，runs the environmental club at the high school，which has around 2，000 students．The club is known as the GHS Green Team，and it aims to raise awareness among students and teachers about sustainability（持续性）．It also works on projects to reduce the environmental footprint of the building itself．One of the club's recent projects focused on reducing waste in the school cafeteria．Randall said their cafeteria supervisor told them that the school went through 54，000 plastic forks every year．The club applied for a financial help，built recycling centers for the cafeteria，and purchased metal silverware． And now every student uses a durable metal fork or a spoon instead of disposables（一次性用品），"and that's just one way we're trying to capture the low﹣hanging fruit，if you will，" Randall said．The efforts of Randall and his students have earned Grandville High School the Michigan Green School certification from the state．In addition to their work reducing waste in the cafeteria，the GHS Green Team has also built a garden with flowers and vegetables on campus，and leads cleanups on site and out in the community．Over the years，Randall and his students have also been working on raising money to install solar panels（太阳能板）on the roof of the high school．Randall said he was motivated to take the lead on environmental issues for his school because he wanted his students to have someone to turn to in the building who understands what's at stake（利害攸关）when it comes to climate change．"And I also felt like I needed to do more in my life for my own two children at home，" Randall added，"They need to know that their dad is working as hard as he can to reduce the effects of climate change，and to spread the word，and to make sure that other students out there are learning about thisjust the way they are at home．"（1）What is the purpose of the GHS Green Team club？A．To inspire students' love for biology．B．To finish the projects assigned by school．C．To prepare students for their future jobs．D．To promote environmental protection．（2）What's the result of the project on school cafeteria？A．It has changed the outlook of the cafeteria．B．Students can have more fruits in the cafeteria．C．Plastic forks are no longer used in the cafeteria．D．The school has become famous nationwide．（3）What's the fourth paragraph mainly about？A．The classification of the projects．B．The characteristics of the club．C．The activities organized by the club．D．The future of the club．（4）What was Randall's aim by doing the work on environmental issues？A．To educate the young．B．To get material rewards．C．To amuse his children．D．To make himself famous．4．（10分）Hybrid cars are cars that run on both petrol and electricity．They havea small standard petrol engine and a battery and electric motor to provideelectric power．There are some differences between different models of hybrid cars，but the general principle is that the car runs on petrol，and the electric motor kicks in when additional power is required，for example when going uphill or accelerating．In some hybrid cars the petrol engine turns itself off when not needed，for example when the car has stopped at traffic lights，keeping onlythe electric engine running．Conventional cars have large engines to cope with driving uphill and accelerating．Most of the time，this high engine capacity is not needed，but the engine continues burning up fuel．Hybrid cars have much smaller petrol engines，boosted by electric motors when needed，so they use less petrol．Hybrid cars are also lighter and aerodynamically（空气动力学的） designed for greater fuel efficiency．Another way that fuel consumption is cut is by a system of"regenerative braking（刹车）"．The electric motor is used to slow down the car，rather than conventional brakes．The energy produced by the slowing car is transformed into electrical power，which is automatically stored in the battery．In effect，the battery recharges when you brake．In conventional cars the energy produced when braking is wasted．Car manufacturers and engineers have been experimenting with electric and hybrid cars since the late 19th century．In 1928 Ferdinand Porsche built an experimental hybrid car that used both an internal burning engine and electric motors．The first mass﹣produced hybrid car，the Toyota Prius，came out in Japan at the end of 1997．However，Hybrid cars became available in the USA only in 1999，when the Honda Insight went on sale．As they use less fuel，hybrid cars are cheaper to run．There are also many initiatives in place to encourage people to buy them．In some countries，hybrid car owners pay a lower rate of tax，and don't have to pay on certain toll roads（收费公路）．In some cities around the world，hybrid cars are allowed to park for free．（1）What can we learn from paragraph 2？A．Hybrid cars don't need petrol any more．B．Petrol engine and electric motor work all the way．C．Hybrid cars mainly depend on electric power to run．D．Some hybrid car petrol engines will quit when unnecessary．（2）Which is NOT the reason why hybrid cars consume less energy？A．Smaller petrol engines．B．Scientific design．C．Conventional brakes．D．Energy storage．（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？A．Hybrid cars are cheaper to buy．B．Hybrid car owners don't have to pay tax．C．Hybrid car owners don't need to pay parking fee．D．Hybrid cars will have a bright future．（4）What's the author's purpose of writing the passage？A．To advertise hybrid cars．B．To introduce hybrid cars．C．To compare conventional cars and hybrid cars．D．To inform the development of hybrid cars．第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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．5．（12.5分）One truth about modern life is that nobody has any time．（1）So let's try a simple thought experiment．Imagine that you came into possession of a magical new set of technologies that could automate or promote every single part of your job．（2）Maybe you'd pick up a hobby，or have more children，or learn to relax and enjoy yourself in the additional leisure．But what if I told you that you wouldn't do any of those things：You would just work the exact same amount of time as before．（3）But there are simple reasons for this．Better technology means higher expectations﹣and higher expectations create more work．For most of history，humans were forced to suffer from their own dirty and unpleasant substances．Most families' clothes were washed twicea year．The fleet of housework technologies that came into the world suddenlybetween the late﹣19th and mid﹣20th century created new norms（标准）of cleanliness ﹣for our floors，our clothes，ourselves．（4）Automatic washers and dryers raised our expectations for clean clothes and encouraged people to go out and buy new shirts and pants；housewives therefore had more loads of laundry to wash，dry，and fold．In short，technology made it much easier to clean a house to 1890s standards．（5）They wanted a modern home﹣with dustless windowsills （窗台）and shiny floors﹣and this dustless shiny required a 40﹣to﹣50﹣hour workweek，even with the assistance of modern tools．A．You are wasting your time．B．This might seem impossible．C．New norms meant more work．D． What would you do with the extra time？E．That means you can have more time to relax．F．Everybody is busy，burned out，overloaded．G．But by mid﹣century，Americans didn't want that old house．第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分15分）第一节：完形填空（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6．（15分）The victims were carried in one by one，their paws and fur burned，suffering from dehydration（脱水）and fear．Their caretakers（1） their wounds，and（2）．them in baskets with the only thing that was（3）﹣﹣﹣the leaves of eucalyptus（桉树）tree．As miserable fires have．（4）more than 2 million acres

to survive fires．We have these（15） animals not found anywhere else on this planet，and we are killing them． This is a big wake﹣up call．（1）A．touched B．treated C．ignored D． discovered（2）A．threw B．locked

Health Organization（WHO）．A new WHO report warns that a lack of exercise（2）（great）increases the risk of health problems．The WHO says the new study is the first（3）（estimate）physical activity trends around the world over time．The report said the levels of physical inactivity are more than two times as high in（4）（wealth）countries as they are in countries where people earn low wages．In richer countries，people are more likely to spend time（5）（sit）in offices．How much activity should we get？To stay healthy，the report（6）（suggest）that people do at least 150 minutes of moderate（适中的）physical activity or 75 minutes of intense physical activity every week．If you work in a high﹣rise office building，take the stairs instead of an elevator．Take more（7）（break）during the work day and move around．If your workplace offers（8）gym，make sure to use it．It also urges governments to provide and care for infrastructure （基础设施），such as better and（9）（safe）roads．This would help support increased walking（10）cycling for transportation，as well as sports and physical recreation．第三部分写作（共两节，满分15分）第一节：应用文写作（满分15分）8．（15分）假定你是李华，你校近期成立了"孔子思想研究"网上俱乐部（Confucianism online club）．你的朋友Tom对中国文化很感兴趣，请你给他写一封邮件，邀请他加入该俱乐部．注意：1．词数80字左右；2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯．第二节：读后续写（满分25分）9．（25分）阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事． One spring morning many years ago，I had been prospecting for gold along Coho Creek．As I emerged from a forest，I froze in my tracks．No more than 20 paces away in the bog（泥塘）was a huge Alaskan timber wolf﹣caught in one ofTrapper George's traps．Old George had died the previous week of a heart attack，so the wolf was lucky．Confused and frightened at my approach，the wolf backed away，pulling hard on the trap chain．Then I noticed something else：It was a female，and her teats（奶头）were full of milk．Somewhere there was a den（窝）of hungry pups waiting for their mother．From her appearance，I guessed that she had been trapped only a few days．That meant her pups were probably still alive．But I suspected that if I tried to release the wolf，she would turn aggressive and try to tear me to pieces．So I decided to search for her pups instead and began to look for incoming tracks that might lead me to her den．Fortunately，there were still a few remaining patches of snow．The tracks led a half mile through the forest，and I finally spotted the den．There wasn't a sound inside．Wolf pups are shy and cautious，and I didn't have much hope of tricking them outside．But I had to try．So I began copying the squeak（吱吱声）of a mother wolf calling her young．No response．A few moments， later，after I tried again，four tiny pups appeared．I extended my hands，and they tentatively（试探性地）suckled at my fingers．Perhaps hunger had helped overcome their natural fear．Then，one by one，I placed them in a bag and headed back．When the mother wolf spotted me，she stood straight．Possibly picking up the scent（气味）of her young，she let out a sorrow﹣stricken crying．I released the pups，and they raced to her．Within seconds， they were slurping（啜食）at her belly．注意：1．所续写的短文的词数应为150左右；2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好．Paragraph 1：What next？I wondered．_________Paragraph 2：Four years later，I returned to Coho

What should a runner do to get an award according to the text?A. Make a good start．B. Plan for the race early．C. Run slowly on the starting line．D. Try runningquickly all the time．5. What formed the basis for Aftalion's studying horse race?A The experience and data from previous horse races．B. The benefit of knowing horses' different abilities．C. The success in studying runners' winning strategies．D. The performance of horses on different race distances．6. What does the underlined word“devastating”in the last paragraph mean?A. Boring．B. Damaging．C. Astonishing．D. Puzling．7. What can we infer from the text?A. Runners have the same energy output of muscles．B. Aftalion's findings may help horses to win the race．C. What Jockeys and trainers do makes no sense to horses．D. World champion runners made a contribution to the study．CIn the summer of 2016, I gave a talk at a small conference in northernVirginia. I began by admitting that I’d never had a social-media account; I then outlined arguments for why other peopleshould consider removing social media from their lives. The event organizers uploaded the video of my talk to YouTube. Then it was shared repeatedly on Facebook and Instagram and, eventually, viewed more than five million times. I was both pleased and annoyed by the fact that my anti-social-media talk had found such a large audience on social media.I think of this event as typical of the love-hate relationships many of us have with Facebook, Instagram, andother social-media platforms. On the one hand, we’ve grown cautious about the so-called attention economy, which, in the name of corporate(公司的) profits, destroys social life gradually and offends privacy. But we also benefit from social media and hesitate to break away from it completely. Not long ago, Imet a partner at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., who told me that she keeps Instagram on her phone because she misses her kids when she travels; looking through pictures of them makes her feel better.In recent months, some of the biggest social-media companies, Facebook and Twitter, in particular, have promised various reforms. In March, Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan to move his platform toward private communication protected by end-to-end encryption(端对端加密); later that month, he put forward the establishment of a third-party group to set standards for acceptable content.All of these approaches assume that the reformation of social media will be a complex, lengthy, and gradual process. But not everyone sees it that way. Alongside these official responses, a loose collective of developers that calls itself the IndieWeb has been creating another alternative. They are developing their own social-media platforms, which they say will preserve what’s good about social media while getting rid of what’s bad. They hope to rebuild social media according to principles that are less corporate and more humane(人道的).8. Why did the author feel annoyed when his video was spread online?A. His video caused many arguments.B. His video was shared without his permission.C. His talk was opposed by a large amount of people.D. His video’s popularity on social media is against his talk.9. Why does the author mention the story of his partner in paragraph 2?A. To prove that social media has some benefits.B. To advise people to break away from social media.C. To tell the negative effects social media may produce.D. To describe people’s complicated relationships with social media.10. What is the purpose of the reform made by some social-media companies?A. To attract more users.B. To improve network environment.C. To make more profits.D. To provide more convenientservice.11. What does the IndieWeb intend to do?A. Develop new social-media platforms.B. Remove social media from people’s lives.C. Improve the existing social-media principles.D. Help social-media companies to make reformation.DI was checking out at the supermarket counter on Wednesday night, ready to pay for my bananas, when all ofa sudden, fear came upon me. My wallet was gone. And I could only have left it one place: the G9 bus, from which I had gotten off minutes earlier and which was now speeding to some stops. The moment of realizing it was gone was followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the credit cards, the driver's license, the expensive lipstick ($ 55!).Two hours after I was back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband answered while I sat in the dining room on the phone with a credit card company. "Does Jennifer live here?" I heard someone say. In her hand was my wallet, without a penny missing. She left before I could offer my gratitude to her.After I posted the story, I heard from her boyfriend, who identified the good citizen as Erin Ball, a 26-year-old girl working for a trade organization.Once I figured out her, I called to thank her. She said she spotted my wallet and thought that it's more dangerous to go to a stranger's house than leaving the wallet with the driver, but she still decided to take the chance. "If I were in that situation, I would want someone to try to find me," she said. Ball doesn't find her actions particularly excellent. She added, "It's not hard to do small things for people."After Ball found my wallet, she decided to post a picture of my driver's license online before going to my house, trying to see if anyone knew me. No sooner had she left my doorstep than I got emails from two neighbors who recognized my face, both offering to help me find my missing property.Ball found my house on a bitterly cold night for which I was extremely grateful. Looking back, I'm not surprised someone had wanted to help a stranger. A warm current of honesty and harmony is running through this town.12. What do we know about the author according to paragraph 1?A. She missed the G9 bus.B. She paid for her bananas.C. She replaced the credit cards.D. She found she had left her wallet on the bus.13. Who helped the author find Ball?A. The G9 driver.B. The girl's boyfriend.C. The author's neighbors.D. The author's husband.14. What did Ball do first after finding the wallet?A. Ball called the author.B. Ball went to the author's house.C. Ball gave the wallet to the bus driver.D. Ball posted a photo of the author's driving license.15. Which of the following best describes Erin Ball?A. Humorous and kind.B. Generous and demanding.C. Honest and warm-hearted.D. Caring and outgoing.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

'' Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel andlash out at us.The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (新型冠状病毒肺炎, NCP) in China and some other countries at the beginning of this year is an example. According to Xinhua News Agency, the new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host (中间宿主). It's believed that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said, ''This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale, human population density, wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病). ''In ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe (敬畏). For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings.However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify (改变) plants, capture some wild and rare animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance. For example, cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build up in the atmosphere and it contributes to global warming.Although we don't know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak, Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it's time for people to ''reflect on our relationship with our planet'' and ''reconnect with this world and everythingthat we've been given''. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, ''Nature is not the place to visit. It's our home. ''4. What does the phrase ''lash out at'' in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. punishB. controlC. testD. challenge5. What lesson did Daszak think human beings should learn from the NCP outbreak?A. Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals.B. It's impossible to prevent new pandemics globally.C. We should stop the wildlife trade around the world.D. Humans should live peacefully with nature.6. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?A. How human beings become their own masters.B. How human activities cause global warming.C. How human beings break the balance of nature.D. How humans use technology to improve their lives.7. What is the author's purpose in writing this article?A. To reflect on the NCP outbreak.B. To explain what led to the NCP outbreak.C. To describe experts' predictions on new pandemics.D. To compare ancient and modern attitudes toward nature.CKids ages 6 to13 inCape Town,South Africa, really do dig learning at school! With the help of the Earthchild Project, which is offered in schools in two townships, students make worm(蠕虫) farms. The worms break down food waste and make the soil richer. Kids grow seedlings(幼苗) in containers and learn about the importance of good nutrition.The school program also offers yoga(瑜伽). Teachers find that the exercises help students focus better. The students enjoy Earthchild activities. “The children gets so excited”, says teacher Vuyelwa Rola.“The society we are in has a lot of noise. When students are taking part in the Earthchild Project, they feel calm.”Director Janna Kretzmar came up with the idea for the project in 2005. She read about schools inIndiathat involved kids in yoga and learning outside the classroom. She developed the Earthchild Project to offer similaractivities inCape Townschools.“We hope the Earthchild Project can help students find solutions to all the challenges they are facing in the world today,” Kretzmar said. “The best place to create change is with the youth, through education.”The Earthchild Project combines schoolwork with hiking, gardening, healthy living, and yoga. “We need more than just math and science to become happy, healthy, inspired, and active citizens of our communities,” says Kretzmar. In some communities inCape Town, children live in poverty. They must walk long distances to get clean drinking water. Life is hard. But according to the Earthchild Project’s Carly Appleby, the project works to give hope to every child. “Students who have hope,” she says, “aim for bigger goals”.8.

The differences between traditional lessons and Earthchild Project.DSophie became friends with the gray squirrels during her first week atPennState, after spotting them running around and wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.Sophie tried bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Sophie and her squirrels became an Internetsensation.Growing up in a neighborhood outside ofState College, Sophie was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn't interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels help me break the ice, because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said, “I am a lot more outgoing.”And in case you're wondering how Sophie is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they'll grab it. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.This year, Sophie is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Sophie plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.12.

On the Internet.BHenry Cavill: Bring Superman to LifeHenry Cavill knew that he wanted to be a star at 16 years of age, after a chance meeting with movie star Russell Crowe who inspired hispassion for acting. But for the British-born actor, the bright lights and attraction ofHollywoodwere a long way away. Supported by his secretary mother and stockbroker father, he decided to study drama during high school. His journey to super star began.Before gaining the international recognition he has now, Cavill tried out for roles in the Harry Potter and Twilight series but failed to get either. He would have to keep waiting for his big chance.Determined as ever, Cavill took any acting jobs he could get his hands on and appeared in several low-budget horror movies and TV shows in hopes of getting noticed. It almost worked. In the early 2000s, at just 22 years old, he narrowly missed out on becoming the new James Bond. Finally, in 2007, his hard work paid off. He won a leading role as the first Duke of Suffolk in the period showThe Tudors. The TV show was very popular and helped to raise Cavill's popularity inAmerica.In 2011, Cavil landed his breakout role, playing Superman in the DC Extended Universe. He hasn't looked back and has since starred in many hit films, such asMission: Impossible- Fallout.More recently, he stepped back on to the small screen. Since 2019, he has starred in the popular seriesThe Witcher, adapted from the book series and video games of the same name. In the TV show, Cavill played a brave monster hunter named Geralt of Rivia, which was the perfect role for Cavill because he was a fan of the video games. Cavill also got a chance to play a classic English character — master detective Sherlock Holmes — in 2020'sEnola Holmes.However, Cavill isn't just a good guy on screen. His charity work also makes him a real-life hero. In 2014, he took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge while wearing his full Superman suit to support the ALS Association. Currently, he is an ambassador for the UK's Royal Marines Charity, which supports war veterans (退伍军人). Why does he do it? He love to make people feel good and bring smiles to people' faces. Indeed, Henry Cavill in living proof that you don't always need to wear a cape (斗篷) to act like a hero.4. Why did Cavil act in low-budget film and TV works early in his career?A. He was too polite to refuse.B. He was hoping to get noticed.C. He was encouraged to do so by his parents.D. He was friends with the directors of the projects.5.

Being a successful actor.B. Playing Superman on screen.C. Devoting to charities.D. Wearing a cape to take part in activities.CAddiction to smartphones will result in poor sleep, according to a new study.The study, published Tuesday in Frontiers in Psychiatry, looked at smartphone use among 1,043 students between the ages of 18 and 30at King's College London. Researchers asked the students to complete two questionnaires on their sleep quality and smartphone use, in person and online.Using a 10-question scale that was developed to judge smartphone addiction in children, nearly 40% of the university students qualified as "addicted" to smartphones, the study found. “Our findings are in agreement with other reported studies in young adult populations globally, which are in the range of 30-45%,” lead author Sei Yon Sohn and her co-authors wrote in the study. "Later time of use was also significantly connected with smartphone addiction, with use after 1 a.m. increasing a 3- times risk," the authors wrote.Students who reported high use of smartphones also reported poor sleep quality, the study found. That foils in line with previous studies that have found overuse of smartphones at night to be associated with trouble falling asleep, reduced sleep duration (睡眠持续时间)and daytime tiredness. That's likely because use of smartphones close to bedtime has been shown to delay the body's normal sleep - and - wake clock.In fact, the No. 1 rule is "no computers, cell phones, and ipads in bed and at least one hour beforebed Dr. Vsevolod Polotsky, who directs sleep basic research, said in a recent interview. That's because "any LED light source from electronics (电子设备)may further hold back melatonin (褪黑激素)levels," Polotsky said. Melatoninis often referred to as a "sleep hormone," because we sleep better during the night when levels reach the top.“This is a cross-sectional study, and it cannot lead to any firm conclusions about smartphone use as the cause of reduced sleep quality, said Bob Patton, a lecturer in clinical psychology at the University of Surrey, via email.8. How did Sei Yon Sohn's team begin their study?A. By publishing researching papers.B. By responding to others’ concern.C. By collecting firsthand data.D. By turning to related experts.9. What did the study find about sleep quality and smartphone use?A. 30-45% of the university students are addicted to smartphones.B. High use of smartphones is related to poor sleep quality.C. Overuse of smartphones leads to shorter sleep duration.D. Use after 1 a.m. will result in smartphone addiction.10. What is Polotsky's opinion on electronics ?A. We should stop using them an hour before going to sleep.B. LED light source from them will delay normal sleep- and- wake clock.C. Reduced sleep quality has nothingto do with them.D. No electronics should be used in bed at any time.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Say No to SmartphonesB. Sleep Quality Can Be ImprovedC. LED Light Source Causes Great HarmD. Smartphone Addiction Ruins SleepDAvi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.12. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.13. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.14. What do you think of Loeb?A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.15. What's the best title for the text?A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD.

2020年山东省青岛市英语一模试卷与详细解析一、完形填空Noah had never once been on his family's back porch(门廊)。

Because of his 1 condition, he has very limited mobility- 2 the backyard wasn't possible., For Noah, having a door from his bedroom to the back porch meant he could finally see the trains he 3 from his room and watch his mom toss the ball with their dogs.

What once was a blank wall was transformed into two beautiful French doors 9 out to a wheelchair accessible ramp (斜坡) and an updated porch. Abe and his mother even 10 redecorated Noah's room with all his favorite characters, and neighbors 11 their helping hands to yard work.The day finally came for Abe, his mother, all their friends, family and other volunteers to 12 Noah.When his mother 13 Noah out of the doors and down the ramp，Noah's smile was 14 .Sometimes，we can construct a small door that will lead to a big 15 for someone else.1．A．emotional B．housing C．physical D．financial2．A．accessing B．spotting C．building D．repairing3．A．approached B．sensed C．heard D．imagined4．A．company B．freedom C．love D．growth5．A．costly B．challenging C．fun D．big6．A．call B．pick up C．contact D．reply to7．A．idea B．plan C．choice D．wish8．A．take B．risk C．get D．make9．A．leading B．making C．reaching D．stepping10．A．personally B．originally C．occasionally D．directly11．A．brought B．found C．lent D．arranged12．A．treat B．invite C．thank D．surprise13．A．led B．pushed C．supported D．pulled14．A．amusing B．priceless C．thoughtful D．shocking15．A．dream B．ability C．world D．chance二、阅读选择Movie theaters around the world have closed during the coronations outbreak. Fortunately, there's never been a better time to catch up on classic old movies. Below, read our picks for best travel movies:‘Thelma and Louise'(1991)“Thelma and Louise,” is a tale of female friendship, and the screen is dominated by the film's two lead females. The pals from small-town Arkansas hit the road on a weekend quest in search of fun and freedom from their jobs and their boredom.Filmed in California and Utah, with the best Grand Canyon scenes filmed south of Dead Horse Point State Park, “Thelma and Louise”is a good option if you have never been out West or if you have and eager to return.‘Grand Budapest Hotel' (2014)It's one of the most satisfying films of director Wes Anderson all works. Set in a luxury ski resort in the fictional East European Republic of Zubrowka in the 1930s, the plot is supported by a murder investigation filled with stolen art, prison escapesand a secret concierge (看门人) society.Though the hotel doesn't actually exist, much of the film was shot in the beautiful German town of Goerlitz, famed for its medieval streets.‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'(200)When Harry Potter runs through a column at King's Cross railway station in London to get to Platform 9 3/4, we know it isn't real. And yet we want to visit.The movie's locations are inspired by real places, as graduates of English private schools will tell you: rushing down narrow old streets to visit tea houses and sandwich shops, discovering books that are hundreds of years old.‘The Trip to Italy' (2014)In this film, you're on an extraordinary road trip along with two old friends. The route is from Piedmont via Rome to Amalfi, back to Naples and finally the tony island of Capri. Retracing the footsteps of romantic poets Byron and Shelley, they drive a Mini Cooper through the breathtaking country and alongside stiff seaside cliffs.16．If you are interested in the scenery of American west, which film can you choose to watch?A．Thelma and Louise. B．Grand Budapest Hotel.C．Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. D．The Trip to Italy.17．Which place mentioned in the films can't be found in real life?A．Goerlitz. B．Grand Budapest Hotel.C．Capri. D．Dead Horse Point State Park.18．Why does the author write this passage?A．To introduce some places to travel.B．To introduce the newly released films.C．To recommend some travel movies to watch.D．To show the attractive scenery mentioned in the films.In life，once on a path，we tend to follow it，for better or worse.What's sad is that even if it's the latter，we often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that wed don't even recognize that they could be different This is a phenomenon psychologist call functional fixedness.This classic experiment will give you an idea of how it works and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap: People are given a box of tacks (大头钉) and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it burns properly.Typically, the subjects try tacking the candle to the wall or lighting it to fix it with melted wax. The psychologists had, of course, arranged it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work. The tacks are too short, and the paraffin (石蜡) doesn't stick to the wall. So how can you complete the task? The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candle-holder. You empty it, tack it to the wall. and stand the candle inside it. To think of that, you have to look beyond the box's usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and re-imagine it serving an entirely new purpose. That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another from functional fixedness.The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of society. The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase“frozen thoughts”to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In Arendt's eyes, the self- content reliance on such accepted “truths”also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their worldview, even when there was plenty of evidence for them.Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence, she said,“It can be found in highly intelligent people.”19．What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?A．The experiment. B．Functional fixedness.C．The path. D．The thinking.20．Which way is hard to think of to complete the task?A．Tacking the candle to the wall.B．Fixing the candle with melted wax.C．Using the tack box as a candle-holder.D．Lighting the candle to stand it.21．Which of the following statements will Hannah Arendt agree with?A．People should question.B．We should be used to the way things are.C．People shouldn't accept the idea that doesn't fit their worldview.D．The smarter people are，the more open to the new things they are.22．What's the passage mainly about?A．An interesting experimentB．A psychological phenomenon.C．A theory to be proved.D．The opinion of Hannah Arendt.Japan's biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn't traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that's controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter's face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she's really there.“Virtual travel” is nothing new,of course.Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been stimulating the senses of armcha ir tourists for centuries. It's only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non- wealthy.Yet even as the world's middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seat, there are signs of a post-travel society emerging. Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which release much carbon. And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends.Of course, new technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn't plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to make: By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA's traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year.But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA's robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they ll almost certainly be a part of travel's high-tech future.23．Why does the author use the example of a couple interacting with a robot?A．To show the Japanese are crazy about travel.B．To indicate virtual travel begins to enter people's real life.C．To show the couple are very enthusiastic over robots.D．To express the close relationship between the couple and their daughter.24．Which of the following is the possible reason for virtual travel's appearance?A．Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been using it for centuries.B．Frequent and safe travel has become available to the ordinary people.C．People are worried about the air pollution caused by airlines.D．More and more people lose interest in travel.25．What can we learn about Avatars from the last two paragraphs?A．They will be put on the market soon.B．They will bring ANA a lot of money,C．They will replace ANA's airplanes soon.D．They are almost unavoidable in travel's future.26．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Your Next Travel May Be VirtualB．Easy Travel in the FutureC．Virtual Travel BenefitsD．Air Travel DisappearingRick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashioned Photographer to turn his lens (镜头) to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences.He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (白化病) girl .“1 was j ust tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but1 was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So that kind of was my initial kind of - that opened my eyes a little wider in the wider.”Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera.“I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but my meeting was my profound moment. I remember that particular day. He took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there s somebody who, really like, loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.”Rick is traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. He says his tour is not about money, it's a bout the message:“As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well.

These structures absorb blue light before it reaches the delicate retina.Just because blue light isn't harming your retina, it doesn't mean your electronic devices are harmless.33．Mounting evidence suggests that screen time before bed increases the time it takes to fall sleep.

One thing she wanted to do was to get more pay for their parents, farm workers. Thus they could buy their children what they needed.Dolores knew that many farm workers moved often from one place to another to help pick different kinds of fruits and vegetables, like grapes and tomatoes. She began talking and writing about these workers. Even people who lived far from California read what Dolores wrote. Getting higher pay for the farm workers was not easy. Dolores worked hard to make sure that farm workers got fair pay for their work. She knew that nothing would change unless new laws were made to help the workers.

One can make life better by themselves.CTechnology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us todo things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use them. Companies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and anew way to attract customers.You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（配件）unmanageable,they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tendto think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimate our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.8. What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A. The benefits brought by the advanced technology.B. The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.C. The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.D. Many problems of usability known by the consumers.9. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.B. What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.C. Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.D. The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product10. What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4?A. They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.B. They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.C. They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.D. They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Saying No to Feature Creep is No Easy ThingB. Feature-heavy Products in DemandC. The More Features, the BetterD. Simplicity Outweighs ComplexityDFollowing the Famous Silk RoadsThe Silk Roads were a networkof ancient trade routes that extended from East Asia all the way to theMediterranean. A key section of the Silk Roads is the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor（走廊）, whichstretchesover a distance of around 5,000 kilometres through China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, covering a total of 8,700 kilometres of trade routes. The three countries jointly pursued an application for UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) status which contained detailed research on the 33 sites along the corridor. This made history as the first successful multinational World Heritage application.The starting point of the corridor and the entire Silk Roads network isXi’an, inShanxiProvince. Further west on the Silk Roads, the geography gradually changes from wild deserts to high, snow-capped mountains to vast grasslands as the routes pass through theTianshanMountainsand emerge in the valleys ofCentral Asia. Although the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor of the Silk Roads ends here, the network continues westwards until it reaches theMediterranean.The corridor began to develop in the 2nd century. Assigned by the emperor, the ambassador Zhang Qian journeyed from Chang’an toCentral Asia, seeking to build bridges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. Following Zhang’s efforts, trade routes took shape and relationships were strengthened between the major powers of the time, with the routes network reaching as far as theRoman Empire.Economic activities along the routes network were not limited to trade in silk. They contributed many other items to the marketplace of goods. The routes were busy with camels carrying loads of goods and businessmen selling everything imaginable.China’s exports included silk, porcelain, ironware and tea, while horses, jewellery, spices and grapes were all imported over vast distances from the West.In addition to trade exchange, the network served as a bridge for cultural exchange which shaped the evolution of science, art, technology and many other areas in societies along the network. Astronomy and mathematics were introduced toChinafromIndiaandArabia; important Chinese inventions such as papermaking and printing were brought to the West.All of these activities contributed to a great age of expansion as trade and cultural exchanges gave people access to new goods,knowledge and ideas. These routes connected Eastern and Western civilizations, which achieved a shared development. The addition of the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor to the UNESCO World Heritage List is a milestone in recognition of the Silk Roads as a crucial part of humanity’s common heritage.12. The key section of the Silk Roads is________.A. the MediterraneanB. Xi’an, inShanxiProvinceC.KazakhstanandKyrgyzstanD. the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor13. The underlined word “stretches” in Paragraph 1 is close in meaning to________.A. standsB. spreadsC. movesD. flies14. Zhang Qian travelled from Chang’an toCentral Asiato________.A. export silk, porcelain, ironware and teaB. purchase horses, jewellery, spices and grapesC. seek help from the most powerful western countriesD. build bridges between his country and other countries15. What was the role of the Silk Roads according to the passage?A. It helped to change the wild deserts to grasslands.B. It was recognized by the UNESCO asChina’s heritage.C.

2020年山东省青岛市高考英语一模试卷含答案

高考英语一模试卷题号I II III IV V 总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）ASeattle's Pike Place Market stretches for four city blocks．It includes a collection of old buildings，bunches of stalls and street musicians and afters that draw both locals and visitors．The themed market wakes up each day at 5：00 a．m．Among the first to arrive are flower vendors and fish mongers （小贩）like Jason Scott．My stand is known for its tradition of throwing fish before wrapping it up for a customer．I came back out of high school and I've been here ever since．I'm 46 now．Many Pike Place Market stores are family-run and have been around for generations．Russian-speaking immigrants opened Piroshky bakery 25 years ago．Not a lot of people understand what Piroshky is．People think sometimes it's a last name，so we do have to educate people a lot．If you go to Russia and you go to a market like this，you could hear the latest scream out - Piroshky，Piroshky and that's why we call it Piroshky．Next to Piroshky is a Chinese bakery called Mee Sum pastry．It's owned by the third generation of the Fong family．They call their signature pastry，the best and biggest combos （套餐）in towns．Like Chinese hamburger，you can put chicken or puppy kibble or crispy even vegetable in it．But in this sprawling （无序扩展的）market，one of the most unusual places isn't a food or craft stall．It's the gum wall where people can stick their tiny chewed up clump on a roll．Apparently，they don't give it much thought，trying to be original．This gum wall started about 20 years ago when the theater asked people not to bring gum inside because they didn't want it under the seats，so people would put gum up on the outside．Market officials initially tried to clear the sticky stuff off the wall，but new gum always reappeared so they finally gave up．The gum wall quickly became a tourist attraction．And just like that，the gum wall turned into an attraction，highlighting a more unusual side of Seattle that locals and visitors love．1.What do we know about Seattle's Pike Place Market？______A. It's small and delicate．B. It's tidy and in order．C. It's special and attractive．D. It's modern and new．2.What is Piroshky______A. A Russian-speaking immigrant．B. A kind of baked pies．C. People's last name．D. A Chinese bakery．3.How does the writer find the gum wall______A. It should be cleared away．B. It shows the special side of Seattle．C. It is made on purpose．D. It resulted from the market officials' wrong decision．BAs an international body charged with the mission of keeping world peace and development, the United Nations cannot operate without financial support from its member countries. And as a firm defender of multilateralism (多边主义) and a beneficiary of globalization, China knows how important it is to safeguard the current world order in which the UN plays an important role. China is aware how important it is that it does its bit to ensure the UN can accomplish its missions, and knows that this is a responsibility it must undertake for the benefit of all.And Chinese people can take pride in the fact that the country has overtaken Japan to be the second-largest contributor to the UN regular budget. Since how much a country pays to the regular budget of the United Nations is a standard on how powerful the country is, at least financially. It is therefore natural that China's contribution to the UN budget should rise from2.05 percent in 2005 to 12.01 percent this year. That hike is an indicator of what the country has achieved over the past 13 years. With the country's further development, there is no doubt that its financial contribution to the UN will continue to rise. China will pay as it should.However, the more money a country pays, the more responsibility it shoulders and more say it is entitled to enjoy as a major player on the world stage. But the reality is that the rights and international standing China enjoys are still disproportional (不相称的) to what it does for the UN and its contribution to the development of the world economy. As a responsible member of the international community, China is struggling for reform of the UN and the global governance system so they are more effective and representative of the international community as a whole.Although peace and development remain the themes of the times, uncertainty and instability are on the rise. With this in mind, all countries should make combined efforts to deepen understanding, increase trust and promote cooperation. China is committed to building a community with a shared future for humanity and will continue to work with the UN to realize that vision.4.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. China is against multilateralism and globalization.B. The UN needs financial help from its member countries.C. China doesn't agree with the UN on keeping the current world order.D. The UN must undertake the responsibility to ensure China's benefit.5.What does the underlined word "hike" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Walk.B. Rise.C. Budget.D. Contribution.6.What can we infer from paragraph 3?A. If a country pays more money, it can take on less responsibility.B. China's contribution to world economy equals the rights it enjoys.C. China is making great efforts to improve the situation of the UN.D. The global governance system is very satisfying now.7.What is the main idea of the text?A. China is keeping world peace and development instead of the UN.B. China contributes most to the UN regular budget.C. China enjoys more say as a great power on the world stage.D. China is working with the UN in search for common good.CDuring Amsterdam's chaotic rush hour, nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. "Look," she says. "There's traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four different directions. For a child on a bike that's really confusing!"Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 881,000—more than the city's 850,000 inhabitants—and 63% of the population cycle daily.But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges, Lotta says, "The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters(小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over."Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which schoolchildren were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children's bikes to the popular bike share programme.Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury(评审员) member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.She is now planning a meeting with the city's mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with: "One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don't know."Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. "They see it works really well," Boerma, the senior major, says. "I talk to the parents, Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that's good for aneight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old."8.Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?A. To teach children how to ride.B. To ensure cycling is safer for children.C. To give suggestions to the city's mayor on how to run the city.D. To organize the cycling contests in the city.9.Which word can best replace the underlined word "superfluous" in Paragraph 2?A. Important.B. Unnecessary.C. Difficult.D. Valuable.10.What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor?A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.B. She has won a contest about cycling.C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.D. She has given proposals to the city mayor.11.What's Boerma's attitude to the junior cycle mayor?A. Cautious.B. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.DThe long，white robot weighs more than 450 kilograms．Like other robots，it is equipped with cameras and mechanical arms to automatically perform many different jobs．Angus is a major part of operations at Alexander's indoor robot farm about 40 kilometers south of San Francisco．The 743-square meter farm uses a hydroponic system that grows plants without soil．The plants grow inside equipment that provides a continuous flow of water．Theindoor farm uses electrical light instead of sunlight．This kind of farm uses much less water and does not require human labor to run．The main job for Angus is to move thousands of plants around the farm，from small containers to larger ones as they grow．Angus also carries plants to another robot that does not have a name yet．Angus moves slowly to complete its work．But the robot is very strong and can lift about 300 kilograms．For now，the farm uses humans to collect vegetables and other crops when they are ready．But Alexander says he is working on a robot that will eventually take over that job too．Alexander helped start the company Iron Ox after leaving Google，where he worked on robotics at the company's Google X project．He teamed up with another former Google employee，Jon Binney．Together they founded Iron Ox．Iron Ox's website says the hydroponic growing system uses 90 percent less water．It also said the growing method is up to 30 times more productive than growing crops on land．Alexander said growing food robotically throughout the year in major cities will provide amore consistent and fresh product．Most of the vegetables sold in the U．S．are grown in California，Arizona，Mexico and other nations．That means that many people in U．S．cities are eating vegetables that are nearly a week old by the time they arrive in stores．Indoor farms operate all year and are not generally affected by bad weather．This will permit the company to provide a steady flow of goods without major price changes．12.How does Angus work in the farm______A. It provides a continuous flow of water for the plants．B. It directs other robots to work in the farm．C. It works on collecting vegetables．D. It is in charge of transferring plants．13.What do we know about Alexander______A. He used to work on robotics at Google．B. He started a company studying robotics with Binney．C. He works on collecting crops when they are ready．D. He started Iron Ox by himself．14.What's the advantage of Alexander's farm______A. The vegetables from this farm sell in higher price．B. The vegetables from this farm are more nutritious．C. It uses electrical light instead of sunlight．D. It uses less water but produces more．15.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage______A. Robot Farm，the Future of the AgricultureB. Robot Farm，Aiming to Bring Fresher Food to US CitiesC. Alexander，an Extraordinary Scientist on RoboticsD. Hydroponic System，the New Way of Farming二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）The millipede （千足虫）Forest life(1) We enjoy watching television programs about bears，bats or monkeys．We knew 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(2) A French scientist，Francois-Xavier，Joly，is studying one of them - the millipede．The importance of leavesWhen leaves begin to die in autumn，they turn from green to yellow and fall from the trees．(3) Life in the forest needs these nutrients- without them，plants could not grow and so there would be no food for other animals．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 break down than others，sometimes years．So what happens to these？(4) 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．(5)So next time you are walking through a forest，remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet!A．This is where the millipede can help．B．However，not all leaves are equally rich．C．Millipedes do amazing things in the soil in our forests．D．Forests are amazing places，and so are the animals that live in them．E．As they break down on the ground，nutrients are returned to the soil．F．Many small animals that live in forests are very important for the soil．G．This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue．16.

Lots of business have appeared to meet a rising demand for quiet time, from silent weekend getaways to silent dining, silent reading parties and even silent dating. Silence can mean different things to different people. We are usually silent only with those closest to us. So there is something almost radical(不同凡响的)about the recent trend towards enjoying silence with strangers.Mariel started a regular silent reading party inDundeejust under a year ago. Readers bring their books and meet in a bar, where they read together in silence for an hour or sometimes two and then put their books away to chat and have a drink. “When the reading party starts, everything goes quiet,” says Mariel, “ It’s a little bit surreal (超现实的), especially in what is usually a noisy bar. However, there is something special about sharing the silence with others. It offers a chance to escape from reality; everyone is so busy with work and with technology being ever present. An event like thisgives people the opportunity to escape these things for a while.”Honi Ryan is an artist based inBerlinwho began hosting silent dinner back in 2006. The rules of the dinner are: no talking, no using your voice, no reading or writing, trying to make as little noise as possible, not connecting with technology, and staying for at least two hours. So far she has taken her silent dinner project toMexico, theUS,AustraliaandChina. “It’s evident that the age-old connections we make over food do not depend on the words around it. Silence creates the space for the people and places involved to fill with whatever is needed;itis quite different from our usual social behaviors.”4. Why have lots of silent businesses appeared?A. To satisfy people’s demand for silence.B. To make people get close to each other.C. To appeal to young people.D. To change people’s old way of life.5.

And the most fun part is the fictitious character can hold the face of the actor but the age, hairstyles, and clothing can be changed to create more enhanced looks according to the movie scene and story. With the help of AI, the directors recreating appealing scenes to enhance the thrill and excitement. InJurassic Park,no dinosaurs were running but with the help of AI and visual effects, we could enjoy the scenes and the atmospheres.The directors and the producers direct to form a green screen including the obstacles and those greenscreens get replaced with the views that are made from AI and VFX, and the actors make the scenes alive and deliver the most suitable action-packed movie scenes.

However, sinceChina's economy took off in the last decade, street vendors have gradually disappeared from the streets and many of them opened shops of their own.Fast forward to today, street vendors have come into our sight again after cities such asChengduand Yantai succeeded in creating hundreds of thousands of jobs by giving street stalls permission to operate.China's tech industry was quick to jump on the street vendor trend, with tech giants including Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan and flocking todish outcheap loans, offer support and payment solutions to millions of owners of newly established small businesses.Ant Financial, Alibaba's fintech arm, promised its mobile wallet app Alipay will give interest-free loans to 30 million vendors, and 70 billion RMB of interest-free credit line to consumers to make purchases everywhere, including street vendors. provided 50 billion RMB worth of quality goods for street vendors, and provided each one of them with a maximum 100,000 RMB interest-free loan to stock up.Tencent's WeChat announced to offer payment solutions, marketing supports and even training for up to 50 million street vendors, with the end goal of digitally transforming them to increase their income.Guangzhoucity partnered with WeChat this month to hold a live streaming shopping festival to improve sales of local produce.

Current forecast modelscan only predict these storms 10 days in advance, at most, and they cannot precisely predict how intense the storms will become.An international team of researchers has developed a model that analyzes nearly a quarter of Earth’s surface and atmosphere in order to better predict the conditions that birth typoons.“The target problem of this study is how to foretell the birth of typhoons,” said paper author Mingkui Li, associate professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography in the Ocean University of China and the Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology (QNLM). “We specifically address three aspects: the beginning time, inner pressure and maximum wind speed.”The researchers also accounted for the influence of one variable(变量) on another, such as wind speed on sea surface temperature. This influence is well understood and accounted for in climate predictions and in weather forecasts, butithas not been fully applied in understanding how long-term climate affects day-to-day weather, according to Li. “We aimed to provide insights on the time scale that can be used to forecast typhoons in advance.”From their study, the researchers determined that a model with the ability to better understand the relationship between warm sea surface temperatures and weak wind movement— conditions that favor typhoon formation—could improve typhoon predictability.“Our goal is to develop a 10 to 30-day prediction system that will lead to seamless(无缝的) weather-climate predictions.” Shaoqing Zhang, paper author and professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography, said.8.

The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.12. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.13. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.14. What do you think of Loeb?A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.15. What's the best title for the text?A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD.

It is essential for people to learn basic techniques to deal with such emergencies.What to do?● If you are the first person to reach someone who has an electric shock, don't touch him or her!● If the victim is still holding the appliance that gives him or her the shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source.Under no circumstances can you try to move the appliance with your hands!● Ifyou can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.● The victim must remain lying down. If he or she isunconscious, the victim should be placed on his or her side. But he or she should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is ly necessary.● It is essential to maintain the victim's body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸). Keep the victim's head low until professional help arrives.● If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.1. What kind of passage is it?A. An advertisement.B. A horror story.C. A news report.D. First aid emergency advice.2. The underlined sentence implies that ________.A. you should move the applianceB. you should pick up the appliance and turn off the electricityC. it is very dangerous to touch the appliance with your handsD. it is unnecessary to unplug the appliance with your hands3.

Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school, with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference."Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% todrift away fromchildhood friends.With growing pressure being put on friendship these days, it's important to make time for our friendship.4. How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via Facebook?A. 22.B. 18.C. 12.D. 4.5. In Paragraph 5, the author is trying to tell the readers ________.A. how important making friends isB. school time is an important period to develop friendshipC. how much has been done to keep friendshipD. that friendship is not easy to keep6.

This passage is mostprobably taken from ________.A. a newspaperB. an advertisementC. a textbookD. Facebook or TwitterCOne billion people in the world are short of water. How can this problem be solved. Some suggestions have been to desalinate ocean water or to build enormous water pipelines from areas where water is abundant. (Suggestions such as these prove extremely expensive when they are actually used.) One possibility that scientists are considering is pulling icebergs from either the North Pole or the South Pole to parts of the world with a water shortage. Although many questions must be answered before such a project could be tried, moving icebergs seems a reasonable possibility in the future.Engineers, mathematicians, and glaciologists from a dozen countries have been considering the iceberg as a future source of water. Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in this project because it has a great water shortage. Scientists estimate that it would take 128 days to transport a large iceberg (about 1/2 square mile) to Saudi Arabia. Yet the iceberg would be completely melted by the 104th day. Therefore, insulation would be essential, but how to insulate the iceberg remains an unsolved problem.The problems in transporting an iceberg are numerous. The first problem is choosing the iceberg to pull. The icebergs that form in the North Pole are quite difficult to handle because of their shape. Only a small portion extends above the water — most of the iceberg is below the surface, which would make it difficult to pull. South Pole icebergs, on the other hand, are flat and float like table tops. Thus they would be much easier to move.How can a 200-million-ton iceberg be moved. No ship is strong enough to pull such enormous weight through the water. Perhaps several ships could be used. Attaching ropes to an iceberg this size is also an enormous problem. Engineers think that large nails or long metal rods could be driven into the ice. What would happen if the iceberg splits into several pieces during the pulling. Even if an iceberg with very few cracks were chosen, how could it be pulled through stormy waters. Furthermore, once the iceberg reached its destination, very few portswould be deep enough to store it.All of these problems must be solved before icebergs can become a reasonable source of water. Yet scientists estimate that it will be possible to transport them in the near future. Each year, enough icebergs form to supply the whole world with fresh water for a full year. In addition, icebergs are free and nonpolluting. As a solution to the world’s water problems, icebergs may be a workable possibility.8. What is a problem in transporting iceberg?A. The size of the iceberg.B. The colour of the iceberg.C. The salt in the iceberg.D. The movement of air and water.9. What is the author’ attitude towards transporting iceberg?A. Pessimistic.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Unconcerned.10. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. It is hard to use iceberg.B. Iceberg are a good choice.C. There are problems with iceberg.D. Man finds no other ways to solve water shortage.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Shortage of water.B. Icebergs for water.C. Scientists and icebergs.D. Iceberg—scientists headache.DImagine the feeling of swinging at a baseball going 100 miles per hour—without leaving your living room, or being in race car as it roars down the track, while you are sitting on the couch.These are just some of the ways that sports business leaders say virtual reality (VR) will revolutionize how people train for and experience sports. Virtual and augmented（增强的）realities are together known as mixed reality (MR). “American footballers are already using VR to better train their minds andread the field,” Ludden said. “This can allow players to perfect their skills without risking injury.”Canadian company D-BOX Technologies designs and produces moving seats found in cinema and theme parks. It is now moving into sports, and shows its Formula One (F1) racing simulator（模拟器）. The seats stimulate the force of gravity, speed and every shaking as Fl champion Lewis Hamilton zips around city streets.A simulation seat uses pre-programed data now. Someday, though, it could use real-time information sent bythe car. “They couldbroadcast live content through a network in pop-up theaters around the world,” Ludden said. Say you want to experience the true stress of a batter being up against major-league baseball pitcher. “You can have a heartbeat added to the sensation on the seat and then you can feel it, boom, boom,” Maheu explained. “When he swings and hits the ball, you can have an impact.”One day, fans around the world could physically experience every game from their favorite player in real time. Ludden said that current and near-future technology could create “augmented stadiums” for live audiences. Panasonic launched its “Smart Venue” plans which included the overlaying of graphics, advertisements, player statistics and replays on the field of play at a pro football game. “If you are seated in the cheap seats, you can see this really useful.” “Fans may someday join in stadium wide games, using the field as a virtual gaming platform,” Ludden added.12. What does the underlined phrase “read the field” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Get off the playing field.B. Build up a football court.C. Judge the situation on the field.D. Ask players to play on the spot.13. What does Maheu think audiences can do in the future baseball game?A. Enjoy live content in any theater.B. Program the simulation seats in advance.C. Control the force and speed of the baseball.D. Experience the real time game with the player.14. What does Ludden mainly describe in the last paragraph?A. The origin of VR.B. A future stadium.C. An advertisement platform.D. The expectations of audiences.15. What is the main idea of the text?A. VR can improve players' skills for sports.B. VR increases fans' joy in the baseball game.C. VR can improve sports experience for players and fans.D. VR promises a new future for football players and games.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
