2022-2023学年浙江省金华十校高三第二次模拟考试英语试卷（4月）一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）ASSI Advanced Adventurer Course•2 sessions of 8h•The AAC starts on every Wednesday and Saturday, lasting 2 days•Fees: $450Exploration, Excitement, ExperiencesThat's what the Advanced Adventurer course is all about. You don't have to be "advanced" to take it— it's designed to advance your diving, so you can start right after earning your Open Water Diver certification. The course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives.Who should take this course?Open Water Divers who are at least 12 years old are ready to step up and sign up for an Advanced Adventurer course. Divers under 18 may only participate in certain Adventures Dives—check with your SSI Instructor.What will you learn?You'll plan your learning path with your instructor by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives. There are two required dives—Deep and Underwater Navigation—and you choose the other three. During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving. The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive helps improve your navigation skills. The other knowledge and skills you get vary with your interest and the adventures you have—photography, fish identification, exploring wrecks and many more.What scuba equipment will you use?Beyond basic scuba equipment, you'll need a compass and a dive knife. You may also use specialized equipment depending on the Adventure Dives you choose. Your SSI Instructor will explain the equipment that you need and may suggest additional equipment.1. On which of the following dates can you take the course?A. From Friday to Saturday.B. From Saturday to Sunday.C. From Tuesday to Wednesday.D. From Wednesday to Saturday.2. How many dives can you learn during the course?A. 2.B. 3.C. 5.D. 7.3. Which of the following is a must to take the SSI Advanced Adventurer Course?A. Reaching adulthood.B. Specialized diving equipment.C. Advanced scuba skills.D. Open Water Diver certification.BThey said it couldn't be done. They said he was crazy. They said he would never make it.But Duane Hansen and his beautiful pumpkin, which he named Berta, proved them all wrong. Like Cinderella's fairy godmother, this Nebraska man proved that you really can turn a pumpkin into a functional vehicle—in this case, a seaworthy vessel(船).Yes, you read that right. Hansen wanted to celebrate his 60th birthday by hollowing out his prized 846-pound pumpkin and sailing down the Missouri River inside it. Not only did Hansen enjoy a pumpkin sail on his special day, but his 38-mile journey also landed him a world record! In case you wondered, the previous world record for the longest sail in a pumpkin was 25 miles, set by a North Dakota man in 2018.It wasn't an easy journey. Growing a pumpkin big enough to use as a boat is already a challenge. Then, there was his chosen waterway. The city of Bellevue, Nebraska, posted a photogragh of Hansen on the water that offers a reminder of just how big the Missouri River is."He has always said that you can do anything you want and I'm just so proud," Hansen's daughter Morgan Buchholz said.Hansen reportedly spent nearly a decade trying to grow a pumpkin big enough to work as a sailing vessel. He was inspired to begin his mission after meeting a woman who had previously won "the Biggest Pumpkin Competition". He asked her many questions about her experience.As for his pumpkin-sailing future, "I'm done with this." Hansen said that the voyage made his knees ache. The wake(尾流) from boats was rough, and when they passed, he said he had to stop everything andjust hang on. "If somebody breaks this record, I will, like, bow down to them because they are tough," he said.4. Why did Hansen go on a pumpkin journey?A. To observe his birthday.B. To show his prized pumpkin.C. To break a world record.D. To prove pumpkin could be a vessel.5. What did Hansen do to make his journey possible?A. He chose a calm waterway.B. He talked with the previous record holder.C. He convinced his family to support his plan.D. He worked a long time to grow the pumpkin.6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. His knees got seriously injured in the sailing.B. His vessel tured over in the wake from boats.C. Hansen will respect whoever breaks his record.D. Hansen will continue the pumpkin-sailing in future.7. What does Hansen's story tell us?A. It is never too old to learn.B. Time and tide wait for no man.C. Where there's a will, there's a way.D. Fear always springs from ignoranceCAs the climate crisis speeds up, Europe is warming faster than any other region, according to a new State of the Climate in Europe report from the World Meteorological Organization.The WMO report comes ahead of the UN's international climate summit in Egypt, and is one in a series of reports over the past several weeks that show how the world is off-track on its climate goals. Notonly are countries missing the mark on their efforts to reduce planet-warming fossil fuel emissions(排放物), but measurements show temperatures are already skyrocketing.Some continents are feeling that rise more than others. Wednesday's report shows temperatures in Europe have increased at more than twice the global average over the past 30 years—at a rate of about 0.5 degrees Celsius per decade.Recent reports show how the region's temperature rise is fueling extreme weather.Year-to-date through July, the number of wildfires in the EU was four times the 15-year average. A deadly, record-breaking heatwave in the UK harmed public health and bent infrastructure (基础设施). Exceptional drought troubled the continent this summer, drying up some of the world's most economically important rivers. And that drought that came on the heels of some of the most destructive floods Europe has ever seen."Europe presents a live picture of a warming world and reminds us that even well-prepared societies are not safe from impacts of extreme weather events," said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas in a forward on the report."European society is vulnerable(易受伤害的) to climate variability and change, but Europe is also at the forefront of the international effort to address climate change and to develop innovative solutions to adapt to the new climate. Europeans will have to live with," Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, said in a statement.Taalas said in his forward that although Europe's pace on cutting planet-warming emissions has been "good", their ambition on this front "should be further increased".8. What can we learn about the world's climate goals from the WMO report?A. They are unrealistic.B. They are easy to reach.C. They are taken seriously.D. They are far from being achieved.9. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. The economic losses in Europe.B. The causes of the climate crisis in Europe.C. The increase of extreme weather in Europe.D. The most destructive natural disaster in Europe.10. What is Buontempo's attitude towards Europe's effort to fight climate change?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Unclear.D. Intolerant.11. What should Europe do to further cut emissions according to Taalas?A. Take the lead.B. Set a higher goal.C. Make better preparations.D. Carry on their good work.DU.S. teens spend more than eight hours a day on screens, and there's growing concern over how social media may affect their mental health. Now, a new study has found that limiting screen time to about one hour a day helped anxious teens feel better about their body image and their appearance.The study arose from the personal experience of Helen Thai, a doctoral student in psychology at MeGill University. "What I noticed when I was engaging in social media was that I couldn't help but compare myself," Thai says. She was well aware that social media posts often feature polished, airbrushed or filtered images that can alter(改变) appearances in an unrealistic way, but it still affected her negatively.So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether cutting time on social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat would improve body image. They recruited a few hundred volunteers, all of whom had experienced symptoms of anxiety or depression, which could make them vulnerable to the effects of social media. Half of the participants were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks while the other half continued to use social media with no restrictions, which averaged about three hours per day.The researchers gave the participants surveys at the beginning and end of the study, which included statements such as "I'm pretty happy about the way I look," and "I am satisfied with my weight." Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a5-point scale. This may seem like a small change, but any shift in such a short period of time is striking, the authors say."The study is encouraging, but it only included people who had symptoms of anxiety or depression. It's worth evaluating this approach with other groups, such as people with or at risk of eating disorders. It's also possible that the benefits of cutting back could extend more broadly to anyone in this age group," says Psychologist Andrea Graham, co-director of the Center for Behavioral Intervention at Northwestern University.12. What problem may social media bring to teenagers according to Thai?A. They may become addicted to the Internet.B. They tend to become sensitive to others' comments.C. They may have unrealistic expectations of their image.D. They tend to compare themselves with the images posted online.13. What can we learn about the participants during the study?A. They scored their appearance twice.B. Half of them stopped using social media.C. They hoped to improve their body image.D. Most of them showed dissatisfaction with their weight.14. What did Graham think of the study?A. It was a good try but had limitations.B. It was well designed but poorly conducted.C. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.D. It was encouraging but the evidence was unreliable.15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Shorter Screen Time, Better Feelings on LookB. How to Help Teenagers Limit Screen timeC. How Social Media Changes TeenagersD. Less Anxiety, Better Image二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Any time of the day you can commit to exercising is a good time for getting active. However, the best time for exercise is different for each person. (1)Determine when you have the most energy. Do you struggle to get out of the bed in the morning or do you wake up energized and ready to go? Are you a night owl and never get to bed before midnight? Once you establish what your sleep tendencies are, you will have a better idea of when your body is most ready to exercise. (2) You are more likely to hit the snooze button instead of getting a workout in.Consider your daily schedule. When are you the busiest? (3) Try to fit in exercise before or at least around these events. Some people would prefer to get it out of the way first thing, while others prefer to put it off until the end of the day when they are all caught up.Determine your exercise goals. If you are trying to develop a routine, you may want to exercise in the morning. People who exercise in the morning are more consistent. (4) If you are trying to improve your performance, evening exercise may be best. You may experience less tiredness, quicker reaction times, and more strength and flexibility in the evening. If you are trying to lose weight, you may want to exercise in the morning before you have eaten when your body is more likely to use fat instead of carbohydrates for energy.(5) This way, you'll see how you feel and find the time that works best with your schedule. Keep an exercise log to help you evaluate each time.A.This will give your body time to relax.B.Do you perform better in the morning or at night?C.You may not feel like exercising after a long day of work.D.When do you tend to schedule your most important tasks?E.Consider your lifestyle and exercise goals to find the right time.F.If you're not a morning person, do not schedule an early morning workout.G.Anyway, you'd better experiment with both morning and evening workouts.16.

2020年浙江省金华市十校联考高考英语模拟试卷含答案
高考英语模拟试卷题号I II III IV V 总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AThree brown bears in the distance catches Charlie Russell's eye．When they get a metre or so away from him，the huge animals slow down．The leading bear holds her face very close to Rusell's．She touches his nose with her own and Russell breaks into a smile．"Hey，little bear，" he says．Rusell，now 70，has spent more than ten springs and summers living with brown bears in the eastern-most part of Russia．"No question，bears are dangerous，" says Russell，but he also argues that fearing them prevents us from recognizing their intelligent，playful and peaceful nature．"They attack us because we abuse them．" he insists．"What I want to do now is work on the human side of the problem，" Russell says．In Canada -a country where cities spread deep into the rural landscape and hunters kill about 450 bears annually，he is determined to change the way we treat our neighbors．Russell was raised with the idea that " the only good bear is a dead bear．" His father，a hunter，shared stories of cruel brown bears with his five children．However，when the family's hunting business declined in the early 1960s，Russell joined his father on an expedition to film brown bears in Alaska．Russell couldn't help but wonder why bears behaved aggressively towards people carrying guns，but left the film-makers alone．"I suspected they didn't like cruelty，" he says．In 1994 he tested out his theory in British Columbia's Khutzeymateen Inlet，where he took tourists on bear-viewing tours．One afternoon，while resting on a log between guiding trips，Russell sat still as a female brown bear casually approached．"I knew if I did not move，she would keep coming，" he later said．"I had decided to let her come as close as she wanted．" Russell spoke to the bear in gentle tones and she sat down beside him．She put her paw on his hand and Russell responded to the gesture，touching her nose，lip and teeth．These were the iron jaws featured in his father's campfire stories，now no more threatening than the nose of a little dog．If he could repeat similar moments，Russell believed he could prove that "just by treating bears kindly，people can live safely with them"．1.According to Russell，bears attack humans because they ______ ．A. mistreat themB. are afraid of themC. mistake their playful tricksD. have no idea of their real nature2.The underlined part in Para． 4 suggests ______ ．A. a good bear never diesB. a live bear is dangerousC. the only good bear is deadD. a bear is aggressive to gun holders3.The author's purpose of writing this passage is to ______ ．A. show us how brave he isB. warn us not to approach bearsC. encourage us to play with bearsD. tell us to live in peace with bearsBA survey of 1,000 people showed that an incredible 60 percent of workers ate at their desks every day while two thirds take 30 minutes or less for lunch. This means they are working an extra 180 hours a year—equal to 16 eight-hour days. Even when staffs do manage to leave their desks, they are usually on business with nearly a quarter admitting to regularly using the time to catch up with professional contacts.An academic expert in the science of workplaces said employees were putting their health at risk by refusing to take a lunch break. Dr Tissington, Associate Dean of Business Partnerships at Aston University,said people feel "under pressure" at work, with many spending long hoursat their desks, 'tapping away at keyboards, staring at screens and sitting with bad posture in awkward positions."He said it was important for workers to take regular breaks, get up, move and walk around a bit. "Resting, or taking a break in the middle of the day helps to clear out the mind and prepares us for a productive afternoon," he said. "The feeling of guilt for taking lunch breaks is a subjectthat is concerning and probably requires proper investigation," he added.Dr. Tissington mentioned he makes sure to get away from his desk at lunchtime and deliberately chooses to get lunch from different places—changing his route to get there. "This has the added benefit of exercise," he explained,"and, working in a large organization,it gives me the opportunity to meet different colleagues along the way."Office workers had admitted to sacrificing their lunch breaks to further their careers. PR assistant Tammy Phillips, 24, said he hadn't taken a lunch break since past two years. "The way I view it is that I can get on with work when it?s quieter at lunch time and it never hurts your career for the bosses to see you at your desk when your colleagues swan out fora sandwich," he said."The competition for jobs now is so fierce that I've known friends who have quit smoking because they don't want to be seen to go out for a cigarette during the day."4.We can learn from the first paragraph that _____.A. workers want to escape from their workB. many workers do not take a full lunch breakC. different workers have different lunch breaksD. most workers are not permitted to have a full lunch break5.Which of the following is true about Dr. Tissington?A. He enjoys physical exercise.B. He feels guilty at taking lunch breaks.C. He likes to stay away from his colleagues.D. He takes different routes to have lunch purposely.6.What is probably the best title for the text?A. Time for Having a Lunch BreakB. An Increasingly Popular Working StyleC. Lunch Skippers Work Extra 16 Days YearlyD. Giving up a Lunch Break: Risk Your HealthC"What are you" they ask．"Guess，" I say．Some suggest I have Japanese eyes．Others think I'm Filipino，maybe Indian．Few guess the truth：I am Mexican American．But it's not like I've ever worn that name alone．I'm part of a younger generation of Americans whose identity is shaped neither by where we came from nor where we ended up．My parents know the California immigrant experience first-hand．They grew up picking fruit in the San Joaquin Valley，knowing what it was to be poor，but also knowing what it was to be Mexican．Wanting a better life for their children，they went to college and got professional jobs．By the time I was born，they were fully accepted into the middle class．I grew up in the racially mixed zones of Sacramento，and when my parents talked of their years in the fields it was hard to connect those stories to where we found ourselves now．By the time I reached my teens，difference had announced itself We were all struggling for a sense of individuality，looking everywhere but where we came from．Identity became goods．Wearing certain clothes and liking certain kinds of music created social categories．I became a junkman，sorting through the ruins of pop culture past looking for the pieces of myself．In love with the Beatles，I linked myself to England．Fascinated by Japanese cartoon，I took language classes at the local Buddhist temple．I grew up American to a fault，rarely considering my own people's culture and humanity．I left Sacramento and moved to San Francisco's Mission District to put myself together again．There I first saw my people living in a separate community that had its own language，one I'd never learned．My brown face led people to ask me for directions in Spanish．I could only respond with a universally understood shrug．"This is what 1 am，" I said to myself，looking at a street full of newly arrived immigrants．No，that wasn't quite it．I corrected myself："This is where I come from．"Is it tragic that I grew up far from my mother culture，discovering it so late in life？I prefer to think that my American upbringing has taught me to apply insights from many different cultures to my everyday life．I am a product not just of Mexico or the U．S．but of the world as a whole．7.Where does the writer grow up______A.

other again．However，this was not the case for Mike Wilson，a member of the U．S．Air Force，and Jennifer Brown，the "little" girl Wilson picked up from the waters of Hurricane Ike in 2008．The Air Force pilot took a photo of the moment Jennifer gave her rescuer the biggest hug that he would never forget．The photo touched hearts around the world．For Wilson，who was fighting an illness at the time，it was especially precious．He carried the photo with him everywhere to remind him of one of the most special moments in his life．Eventually，he decided to find the little girl who changed his life and even ran a FindlkeGirl activity on social media．Finally，10 years later，the two met again on the set of The Real in September 2018．And Wilson told Jennifer，"You，rescued me more than I rescued you"．They did not end their friendship there．Ever since they met again，Wilson has visited her family and has spoken to her on the phone weekly．This Saturday，he will visit the Browns again，as 14﹣year﹣old Jennifer is bringing him to her military training program，which she encouraged herself to join in with the support Wilson has provided．"I'm going because I would do anything for her and her family in return for the hug．They mean as much to me as my own family，"Wilson says．The girl tells PEOPLE："The program was very interesting and a challenge for me becauseI had never done it before"．She even

examination can make a student nervous．But these 18 students may feel especially fearful．They are serving sentences in a top ﹣security prison．And if they do well in the test，they might get to leave the prison．During the test the inmates（囚犯）sit at school desks at Naivasha Prison．The classroom looks like any other except that the students are wearing prison uniforms．David Noah Okwemba has just finished the examination for history and biology．He says he wants people to know that the prisoners are no longer criminals．Instead，he says they are students．Prisoners who perform well can have their sentences changed．They may be released early to go to university or find employment．Patrick Mwenda is head officer at Naivasha prison．He says Naivasha works with the high courts to consider the cases of prisoners who get high marks and nine．prisoners have been released since 2008 as a result of．their schooling and tests．So far，the releases have gone only to prisoners sentenced to short terms．Only one other possibility for freedom exists for those facing life in prison and those who have used up all their legal appeals．Kenya's Power of Mercy committee advises about pardons for prisoners．Mr．Mwenda admits the difficulties of getting a pardon．But he says the prison urges students with longer sentences to build skills，which would help them have a good record to show the committee．Inmate Prince Winsor Mosii does not approve of the whole system．"The Power of Mercy is not actually helpful．It is there，but it is not helping in setting us at liberty，even if you haveperformed．" Serving a life，sentence for his involvement in an armed robbery，Prince Winsor Mosii took his KCSE exam last year．But he says he does not see much reason to get an education if he is to remain in prison．"It is of no good to get or to acquire something of great value，skills，and not put it into action．"More than half of the 3，000 inmates at the Naivasha prison are involved in the

educated，the Less Criminal．D．Good Grades Are the Pass to Freedom．13．（10分）As a dropout myself，I often feel it is my duty to defend my fellow non﹣scholars．Common wisdom would have you believe we are the "bad kids"，the future criminals，the worst sort of people．But not all dropouts are likely to deal drugs，steal goods from a shop，or shoot pool all day．My own favorite place to go when skipping school was always the public library．My early retirement meant that at last I had the time to read everything I wanted to．I found reading Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow a lot more interesting than reading about Sir IsaacNewton and the falling apple．Best of all was the time I finally had to myself．I felt liberated．I had been in school nearly my whole life．I wanted to find out for myself who I was，and until I did，everything else felt like a waste of time．However，after nearly three years，a series of strange thoughts began to make me anxious and unsure．Images of myself at the age of 35 began to haunt（缠扰）me in my sleep．And a voice in my head began asking over and over，"Who is paying the hot water bills？Who buys the microwave pizza？"The answer，of course，was my poor old parents．Sure，I was having an enjoyable time doing plenty of nothing，discovering myself and all，but that's unfair to them．What parents long to see their child drop out of school，with no plans for the future？Could they be expected to support me forever？Certainly not．I immediately moved out of the house and out of town，in search of a future for myself．And it is here，in my new home of San Francisco，that I have decided to do what was once unthinkable：go back to school．I plan to take adult education classes and then apply for City College．On the one hand，I can hardly believe I'm doing it：a return to desks，chalkboards，and clocks that tell you when to stop thinking about one thing and start thinking about another．But at City College，I'll be able to take film production，semiotics，and sociology ﹣just because I want to know about them．So next time you see a dropout，be sympathetic．And please don't push him to do something he doesn't want to do．It never works．He'll come around when he's ready．（1）It is commonly believed that dropouts are．A．bad kids from birthB．interested in studying drugsC．very likely to commit crimesD．responsible for defending non﹣scholars（2）What did the author find most enjoyable after dropping out of school？A．Living in comfort with his parents．B．Reading in the public library．C．Escaping the pressure from school．D．Having time for self﹣discovery．（3）Why did the author move to San，Francisco？A．To fight for his own future．B．To apply for City College．C．To break away from his parents．D．To live up to his parents' expectations．（4）What does the author suggest people do to deal with dropouts？A．Push them to the limit．B．Open their hearts to them．C．Try to be understanding．D．Encourage them to be friendly．第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．14．（10分）There are many kinds of book clubs where members discuss a different book every month．What about dinner clubs，where people get together once a month or four times a year to make and eat dinner？In the dinner club that I joined，the hostess of the dinner club would prepare a big dinner first．（1）This was the beginning of our dinner club．There are two variations of a dinner club．One has a group of people who try a different restaurant once a month．（2）When they all meet，they order and share different dishes．This is a great idea，especially if you live in a big city where there are hundreds of different restaurants．（3）One way is to have the hostess for the month decide on a type of food．The hostess is responsible for cooking the entrees．The other members make different courses at home，like salad and dessert，and bring them to the dinner club．For an even more exciting and interactive type of dinner clubs，the entire group comes together in the hostess 'kitchen．（4）In this way the members of the group not only learn about different types of food，but also different methods of cooking．The great thing about a dinner club is that it serves in many different ways．You can make the dinner club even more special one month by inviting partners．（5） A stay﹣at﹣home mother can get a couple of other stay﹣at﹣home mothers together and start achildren's lunch club．If you have a group of friends that love to get together and experiment with different types of food，the possibilities are endless!A．They prepare the entire meal in a group effort．B．Usually one member decides on the restaurant．C．Then the members would begin discussing the food．D．They are like﹣minded people with similar education level．E．The second kind of dinner clubs has many different forms．F．It offers regular well﹣organized social events in selected places．G．Couples can get together for some food and great conversations．第三部分语官运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共20个小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项．15．（30分）The movie Forrest Gump follows the life events of a man who shares the name as the title

can affect our thoughts，feelings and behaviors．But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical（实证的）basis．They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity，keep people focused and lead to relaxation．Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity．In 2007，Joan Meyers﹣Levy at the University of Minnesota，reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think．Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage peopleto think more freely，which may lead them to make more abstract connections．Low ceilings，on the other hand，may inspire a more detailed outlook．In addition to ceiling height，the view afforded by a building may influence a person's ability to concentrate．Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention．According to another study at the University of Georgia，using nature to improve focus of attention seems to pay off academically．It found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary，language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots．Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim（暗淡的）light helps people to loosen up．If that is true generally，keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation．Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax．So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings．"We have a very limited．number of studies，so we're almost looking at the problem

高考英语模拟试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AThree brown bears in the distance catches Charlie Russell's eye．When they get a metre or so away from him，the huge animals slow down．The leading bear holds her face very close to Rusell's．She touches his nose with her own and Russell breaks into a smile．"Hey，little bear，" he says．Rusell，now 70，has spent more than ten springs and summers living with brown bears in the eastern-most part of Russia．"No question，bears are dangerous，" says Russell，but he also argues that fearing them prevents us from recognizing their intelligent，playful and peaceful nature．"They attack us because we abuse them．" he insists．"What I want to do now is work on the human side of the problem，" Russell says．In Canada -a country where cities spread deep into the rural landscape and hunters kill about 450 bears annually，he is determined to change the way we treat our neighbors．Russell was raised with the idea that " the only good bear is a dead bear．" His father，a hunter，shared stories of cruel brown bears with his five children．However，when the family's hunting business declined in the early 1960s，Russell joined his father on an expedition to film brown bears in Alaska．Russell couldn't help but wonder why bears behaved aggressively towards people carrying guns，but left the film-makers alone．"I suspected they didn't like cruelty，" he says．In 1994 he tested out his theory in British Columbia's Khutzeymateen Inlet，where he took tourists on bear-viewing tours．One afternoon，while resting on a log between guiding trips ，Russell sat still as a female brown bear casually approached．"I knew if I did not move，she would keep coming，" he later said．"I had decided to let her come as close as she wanted ．" Russell spoke to the bear in gentle tones and she sat down beside him．She put her paw on his hand and Russell responded to the gesture，touching her nose，lip and teeth．These were the iron jaws featured in his father's campfire stories，now no more threatening than the nose of a little dog．If he could repeat similar moments，Russell believed he could prove that "just by treating bears kindly，people can live safely with them"．1.According to Russell，bears attack humans because they ______ ．A. mistreat themB. are afraid of themC. mistake their playful tricksD. have no idea of their real nature2.The underlined part in Para．4 suggests ______ ．A. a good bear never diesB. a live bear is dangerousC. the only good bear is deadD. a bear is aggressive to gun holders3.The author's purpose of writing this passage is to ______ ．A. show us how brave he isB. warn us not to approach bearsC. encourage us to play with bearsD. tell us to live in peace with bearsBA survey of 1,000 people showed that an incredible 60 percent of workers ate at their desks every day while two thirds take 30 minutes or less for lunch. This means they are working an extra 180 hours a year—equal to 16 eight-hour days. Even when staffs do manage to leave their desks, they are usually on business with nearly a quarter admitting to regularly using the time to catch up with professional contacts.An academic expert in the science of workplaces said employees were putting their health at risk by refusing to take a lunch break. Dr Tissington, Associate Dean of Business Partnerships at Aston University,said people feel "under pressure" at work, with many spending long hours at their desks, 'tapping away at keyboards, staring at screens and sitting with bad posture in awkward positions."He said it was important for workers to take regular breaks, get up, move and walk around a bit. "Resting, or taking a break in the middle of the day helps to clear out the mind and prepares us for a productive afternoon," he said. "The feeling of guilt for taking lunch breaks is a subject that is concerning and probably requires proper investigation," he added.Dr. Tissington mentioned he makes sure to get away from his desk at lunchtime and deliberately chooses to get lunch from different places—changing his route to get there. "This has the added benefit of exercise," he explained,"and, working in a large organization,it gives me the opportunity to meet different colleagues along the way."Office workers had admitted to sacrificing their lunch breaks to further their careers. PR assistant Tammy Phillips, 24, said he hadn't taken a lunch break since past two years. "The way I view it is that I can get on with work when itˈs quieter at lunch time and it never hurts your career for the bosses to see you at your desk when your colleagues swan out fora sandwich," he said."The competition for jobs now is so fierce that I've known friends who have quit smoking because they don't want to be seen to go out for a cigarette during the day."4.We can learn from the first paragraph that _____.A. workers want to escape from their workB. many workers do not take a full lunch breakC. different workers have different lunch breaksD. most workers are not permitted to have a full lunch break5.Which of the following is true about Dr. Tissington?A. He enjoys physical exercise.B. He feels guilty at taking lunch breaks.C. He likes to stay away from his colleagues.D. He takes different routes to have lunch purposely.6.What is probably the best title for the text?A. Time for Having a Lunch BreakB. An Increasingly Popular Working StyleC. Lunch Skippers Work Extra 16 Days YearlyD. Giving up a Lunch Break: Risk Your HealthC"What are you？" they ask．"Guess，" I say．Some suggest I have Japanese eyes．Others think I'm Filipino，maybe Indian．Few guess the truth：I am Mexican American．But it's not like I've ever worn that name alone．I'm part of a younger generation of Americans whose identity is shaped neither by where we came from nor where we ended up．My parents know the California immigrant experience first-hand．They grew up picking fruit in the San Joaquin Valley，knowing what it was to be poor，but also knowing what it was to be Mexican．Wanting a better life for their children，they went to college and got professional jobs．By the time I was born，they were fully accepted into the middle class．I grew up in the racially mixed zones of Sacramento，and when my parents talked of their years in the fields it was hard to connect those stories to where we found ourselves now．By the time I reached my teens，difference had announced itself We were all struggling for a sense of individuality，looking everywhere but where we came from．Identity became goods．Wearing certain clothes and liking certain kinds of music created social categories．I became a junkman，sorting through the ruins of pop culture past looking for the pieces of myself．In love with the Beatles，I linked myself to England．Fascinated by Japanese cartoon，I took language classes at the local Buddhist temple．I grew up American to a fault，rarely considering my own people's culture and humanity．I left Sacramento and moved to San Francisco's Mission District to put myself together again．There I first saw my people living in a separate community that had its own language，oneI'd never learned．My brown face led people to ask me for directions in Spanish．I could only respond with a universally understood shrug．"This is what 1 am，" I said to myself，looking at a street full of newly arrived immigrants．No，that wasn't quite it．I corrected myself："This is where I come from．"Is it tragic that I grew up far from my mother culture，discovering it so late in life？I prefer to think that my American upbringing has taught me to apply insights from many different cultures to my everyday life．I am a product not just of Mexico or the U．S．but of the world as a whole．7.Where does the writer grow up？______A. In Sacramento．B. In a Mexico town．C. In the San Joaquin Valley．D. In San Francisco's Mission District．8.What did the writer learn from his American upbringing？______A. To promote mother culture．B. To adapt to new surroundings．C. To clearly express individuality．D. To learn from different cultures．9.You can infer from the article that the writer ______ ．A. liked to play sportsB. wanted to learn SpanishC. was interested in different culturesD. did not like living in San Francisco10.This article is mainly about ______ ．A. the growing pains of immigrantsB. the culture differences in AmericaC. the author's exploration of his identityD. the problems of immigrants in America二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Time after time，I am on different internet forums，and I end up communicating with people who want to start a blog or website and are，"going to get started soon"，"thinking about it"，or "still going over my options"，and so on．While a bit of planning and research will serve you well when starting any project，often months later，these same people are "still thinking about it"．While there are many reasons that may stop someone from even starting a project they have in mind，fear being the most obvious，the idea of perfectionism seems to be the second most．(1)There is a proverb，"Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week．" There is no such thing as the perfect plan．In fact，you spend so much time being concerned about getting everything right and perfect but it wears your initial enthusiasm down．(2)Yes，you should want to be reaching for excellence，but who starts out with being excellent ？Excellence will only come from trial and error．Just make a decision and start following through．Forget trying to be a perfectionist．(3)It comes from the belief that，"anything I do that is less than perfect is not worth doing"．This way of thinking leads to one becoming discouraged and then failed even to start your project．To start，just begin with something that is good enough，and then keep working to improve on it．Make a basic plan，take action，and then start improving the actual results．(4) Let go of the fear，stop thinking and start doing，and forget starting out with，"it's got to be perfect．"I'll leave you with the words of an actual doer，who was not a perfect person，and all his decisions were not perfect．(5) "You don't have to see the whole staircase，just take the first step．"A．In fact，perfectionism is an unhealthy belief．B．I'll provide you with some examples of action．C．Yet the only way to a solution is to start doing．D．However，he is an example to be followed today．E．Once you begin，it's often less painful to keep working．F．Getting started on a project is not a life and death decision．G．The result is that time passes and so does the perfect moment．11. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G12. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G13. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G14. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G15. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G.
