We had the baby boomers of the 1960s, followed by Generation X and then Generation Y, often referred to as millennials, and the new kids on the block are Generation Z - aged between 16 and 22. It's easy to classify these young people as all being the same, sharing the same attitudes towards life—but is that fair?People from Generation Z, informally called "Z-ers", may be viewed by others as digital natives, incapable of real-world friendships. But they actually view themselves as hardworking, ambitious and about to change the world for the better. The previous generation, born between the mid-1980s and late 1990s - the millennials were also thought to have these characteristics. But many people view this new generation as “mini-millennials" because Z-ers are different and they have their own set of values and preferences which consumer brands need to cater for.It's true to say that technology is playing an important part in the lives of Generation Z, particularly in the area of social media. In fact, they have not known life without it and using it to communicate, share ideas and campaign is second nature. It means they have more of a say on what we eat, drink and buy than any generation before them. These young people certainly need to be listened to by retailers （零售商）and businesses - they are the people with time on their hands and money.But being a Z-er comes with pressure. One young person says "Many people in Generation Z have mental health issues because they're unsure what the future will bring." The future always brings uncertainties but maybe there is pressure for this generation to be the most successful ever.4．When was a Z-er likely to be born?A．In 1964. B．In 1975.C．In 1987. D．In 1999.5．What do Z-ers see themselves as?A．Diligent and ambitious. B．Hardworking and incapable. C．Promising and different. D．Stressed and successful.6．What're Paragraphs 2&3 trying to argue?A．Z-ers have known life without social media.B．Z-ers pay too much attention to digital devices.C．Z-ers and the millennials have the same personality.D．Z-ers become a key driving force in the consumer market.7．What docs the author think is the real cause of the Z-ers' pressure?A．Their ambition to be the best.B．Their uncertainty of the future.C．Their addiction to digital devices.D．Their lack of real-world friendship.Every driver is familiar with the horrible blind spot problem. However, it is more than just an annoyance. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 840,000 car accidents occur due to the blind spot. Those zones which cannot be directly observed by the driver often causes incidents that result in serious property damage and in some cases even death.While drivers can take precautions such as adjusting the driver's seat and side mirrors properly, installing backup cameras and so on, they won't remove the invisible spots completely. Therefore, the driver will always have to carry the responsibility of being constantly aware of blind spots because failing to do that can lead to accidents.Luckily, now there's a solution to that and it comes from a 14-year-old girl, who doesn't even have a driver's license yet. However, not being able to drive didn't prevent Alaina Gassier from understanding the important issue of traffic accidents resulting from blind spots. In fact, she knows the problem so well that she actually solved it for us. And the way she did it is nothing but genius.Her project is called "Improving Automobile Safety by Removing Blind Spots'* and work in a relatively simple way as she explained: "I did that by having a camera behind the A —pillar of a car and the camera sent the video to a projector that projected (投射)the image onto the pillar essentially making it invisible and making the driver see behind it."To complete this invention, she used easily attainable materials such as a webcam, projector, and 3D-printed materials that project the view from outside your vehicle onto the blind spots of your car.Gassier was awarded for her life-saving invention. It earned her the top place in a nationwide competition for middle schoolers with the $25,000 Samueli Foundation Prize inhonor of overall STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) excellence. 8．Why is the blind spot problem more than an annoyance?A．It is familiar to every driver.B．It cannot be seen by drivers.C．It may cause serious accidents.D．It is often overlooked by drivers.9．What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Adjusting the driver's seat. B．Being constantly aware of blind spots. C．Adjusting side mirrors. D．Installing backup cameras. 10．Which of the following statement is wrong?A．Gassier is a student, who can't drive.B．Gassier is talented enough to make the invention.C．Gassier uses easily-accessible materials in her invention.D．Gassier won first place in an international competition.11．What can be the best title for this passage?A．A Great Invention from A Young DriverB．Improving Vehicle Sale by Removing Blind SpotsC．A Girl's Way to Solve the Blind Spot Problem in CarsD．A New Generation of Cars without the Blind Spot ProblemAnyone who commutes（通勤）by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But humans are not alone in facing potential traffic jam. Ants also commute一between their nest and sources of food. The survival of their colonies（群体）depends on doing this efficiently."The more they are, the more food they're going to bring back. But at the same time, they might end up with traffic jam because there are too many of them.” Sebastien Motsch, a mathematician in Arizona State University said. When humans commute, there's a point at which cars become dense enough to slow down the flow of traffic, causing congestion. Motsch and his colleagues wanted to know if ants on the move could also get blocked. So they control traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched.The flow of ants did increase initially as ants started to fill the bridge and then stabilize athigh densities. But it never slowed down, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants. The researchers then took a closer look at how the behavior of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole. That meant cautiously tracking thousands of separate ants as they made their way across the bridge.Motsch and his team found that when ants sense overcrowding, they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas, which prevents congestion. These behaviors may be made by pheromones （外激素），chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is. The ants also manage to avoid colliding with each other at high densities, which could really slow them down.Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely, says Motsch. That's because when it comes to getting from point A to point B as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first. Individual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in bettering traffic flow for self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans一and more like ants.12．What is the purpose of the research?A．To compare humans with ants.B．To see how ants, avoid traffic jam.C．To solve the problem of traffic jam.D．To see whether ants will encounter a traffic jam.13．What did the researchers do before testing the ants?A．They built bridges of different widths.B．They made the ants on the move.C．They watched the ants closely.D．They got the ants blocked.14．What is the result of the research?A．The ants avoid entering high-density areas.B．The ants never stop and no traffic jam happens.C．The ants sense overcrowding and adjust their speed.D．The ants give off chemicals to tell others where they can go.15．What's the researchers' attitude to solving our own traffic jam?A．Optimistic. B．Doubtful.C．Indifferent. D．Supportive.二、七选五With the rise of basic economy and budget airline models that charge extra for seat selection, it's become a lot harder for groups, especially families with kids, to secure seats next to each other.16．.17．. The earlier you book your family's travel, the more likely that you will be able to reserve seats that are next to each other.Contact your airline and ask it to accommodate your family, if you can't initially be seated together.

It provides books as gifts．B. It is a charge-free event．C. It runs the shortest hours．D. It is very child-friendly．BI graduated in 1941 and of course got caught in the war．In 1945 I was out，twenty-one years old，a soldier through 35 bombing missions，and at the University of Washington taking creative writing courses，something I'd looked forward to all through the Air Force．I'd started writing when I was nine and writing seemed to be the only thing I'd ever be able or want to do．My teacher was a new man named Grant Redford，a very good short story writing teacher and a sad man．He was from Montana and had beenconnected with theold．I think it became the but I'm not sure and Idon't bother to look it up．I'm afraid I was never much of a student for Redford．My stories were hopelessly self-indulgent（任性的）；on and on about my personal problems，without form，without development，and without even any good writing．However，I did write humor in those days and had no trouble getting it published in the campus magazine，though I'd hate to see it now．Mostly my writing was used to get myself attention，to satisfy a terrible personal interest in self-admiration，and it wasn't until I concentrated all my efforts on poems that I was to realize the only real reward of writing，that special way you feel just when you've done something youlike．That's far more satisfying than seeing your name in print，good reviews，praise or applause after a reading．And more lasting．5.What do we know about the author's childhood？______A.

His S．A．T．scores．B. His high school grades．C. His level of hope．D. His family background．13.The underlined word "concrete" in the third paragraph probably means ______ •A. clearB. pureC. universalD. popular14.What did Dr．Synder say about the old saying "where there's will there's a way"？______A. It is quite realistic．B. It is not inspiring to students．C. It is totally wrong．D. It is not always true in reality．15.What can be the most suitable title for the passage？______A. No pains，no gains．B. Hope emerges as key to success．C. Will gets it going：D. Where there's a will there's a way．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Many people look forward to the holiday season，which provides an opportunity to take a few days off，or go on a getaway．(1) The combined effort of shopping，attending social events，and entertaining guests can quickly become too much to handle．(2) This means you may end up with financial pressure．To prevent stress over money，plan ahead；review your finances，and come up with a practical budget．Purchases shouldn't affect your ability to pay your bills，nor should it result in costly credit card debt．The holiday season is stressful when．you have too much on your plate．(3)You actually needn't cancel your plans，but make sure everything doesn't have to be perfect，and you don't have to do everything yourself- get your family involved．A holiday season is not always an interval of true relaxation：Sometimes it can mean a lot of rushing around with confusion；allowing you no moment alone．(4)Even as little as 15 minutes alone can make a world of difference as you need to take a breather and clear your mind!Being in close quarters with your family members for a long holiday can be stressful in itself．Because of your different personalities，it may be easy to rub each other the wrong way．If you let every remark get under your skin，you'll be stressed out the entire time．(5) Don't let the actions of others rob you of your joy．A．Holidays and expenses go hand in hand．B．So do remember to make time for yourself．C．Set aside your differences and agree to disagree．D．There are a lot of expectations around the holidays．E．But the holiday season can also be a very stressful time．F．You do not actually realize it is a great relief to your tight mood．G．This is especially true if you host family parties for out-of-town guests．16.

graduates are desperately in demand， it would be much easier for a computer major to find a job in the future．【高分句型一】What's more， people who work in IT industry are likely to be highly paid．【高分句型二】 So I do think it will equip me for a better life to learn computer．（该专业的重要性以及就业前景）Best wishes．Yours ，Li Hua【解析】高分句型1．As computer graduates are desperately in demand， it would be much easier for a comput er major to find a job in the future．句子里，As 引导原因状语从句computer graduates are desperately in demand； it 做形式主语，代指动词不定式to find a job in the future．由于计算机专业毕业生的需求非常旺盛，计算机专业将来找工作会容易得多．2．What's more， people

industry．更重要的是，在IT行业工作的人可能会获得高薪．审题是否清楚是一篇书面表达成功与否的关键所在，在整个写作过程中起着决定性作用．审好题会让我们做到"磨刀不误砍柴工"，审题时要做到以下几点：（1）审要求：书面表达试题一般都由"情景"和"要求"两部分构成．"情景"中包括所写材料的目的、对象、时间、地点、内容等，一般在书面表达题的前半部分；而"要求"一般在书面表达的后半部分，以"注意"形式给出，实际上是对考生提出的要求．因而考生对于题目所提供的说明，应认真分析、反复推敲，搞清提出的内容要求，抓住所要表达的信息点．（2）审文体：高考书面表达的体裁一般有三大类：记叙文、说明文和应用文，具体形式有便条，日记，通知，书信，人物、事情、情景故事的描写，看图说话，缩写，扩写，改写等．审题时要审清文体，注意格式上的不同，避免出错．（3）审人称：审查书面表达题干中隐含的读者对象和撰写人，即搞清楚此篇文章是"由谁写给谁"的．写稿人是谁一般都已明确指出，给出形式假设环境中的"某人"，如"假设你是李华"，写作时即用第一人称"我"，即李华．而读者对象有时没有明示，要考生自己去进行判断．（4）审时态：根据情景判断短文需要的主体时态，即搞清楚要写的是什么时候的事，过去的就用过去时．比如日记，是叙述过去发生的事情，自然用过去时；通知多用将来时．。

Clearly he felt this barren desolate landscape could providethis, so he claimed it for its potential and so began the rise of the British Empire.Newfoundlandis the most easterly point in North America and was Britain’s first overseascolony until 1949, when it became part of Canada. It’s roughly the size ofEngland and Craig’s journey by camper van or RV (recreational vehicle) took injust a small part of the island called the Bonavista Peninsula.Firststop was the tiny fishing port of Keels to stock up for the journey ahead. There’s a long standing love affair between Newfoundlanders and cod. The seasoff the Newfoundland coast were once the richest cod fishing grounds in theworld, attracting fishermen from all over Europe. Many settled, establishingthese coastal villages known locally as outports.Anhour’s drive down the coast is the town of Bonavista, where Craig met up withretired fisherman, Wilson Hayward. He told Craig how the landscape used to lie,and described the peculiarities of the language and accents in the area. There’s a different language in every bay.63. Thetitle ;Why not an island get-away?; _______.A. invites people to take a holiday trip toNewfoundlandB. informs people that the island is movingaway from where it used to beC. tells people that they can buy the islandat the price of _pound;1080.D.asks people to visit the website/canada64. From theconte_t we can conclude that ;Frontier Canada; is the name of_______.A. a tourist guideB.a kind of fish found around the islandC. a tourist agencyD.someone who has already booked the trip65. WhenJohn Cabot first discovered Cape Bonavista he was actually on a voyage to find_______.A. North AmericaB.AsiaC. South AmericaD.the British Empire66.According to the passage Newfoundland is now part of _______.A. UKB.Canada C.Europe D.Bonavista67. In thepast the Newfoundlanders mainly lived by ______.A. teaching languagesB. making camper vansDWho are the most beautiful women in theworld? Looking at the records, people might think Venezuelan women are. Theywin the Miss Latin America. Miss Universe, and Miss World contests more frequently than women from any other country. In Venezuela, the term;Miss; as in ;Miss Universe; is an honored title.Thesedays, people in some cultures consider beauty contests to be silly. They havetried to stop these contests, saying the contests treat women as objects andplace too much importance on women’s looks. But in Latin America, beauty contests are a source of pride.AreVenezuelan women really more beautiful than other women? ;They are not really more beautiful here,; says Selena, who trains girls for the contest. ;It’s just that the girls here work harder and prepare more than anyone else.;Thepreparation takes many hours a day. The contestants stretch their bodies andpractice their walks down the runway. They work on their speeches andpracticeanswering questions such as; Whom do you admire most in the world? ; They starve to stay slim. They take classes to learn how to style their hairand apply make-up.Itisn’t easy. One Miss Universe winner immediately put on 20 thousand pounds after the contest was over. The cost is high as well. Fortunately the television station that holds the contest pays the cost.Yet most ofthe contestants say it’s worth the effort. A former Miss Universe is now mayorof a district in a large city. Although she had no political e_perience beforethat she has been asked to run for higher political office. Another winner hasher own television show. Winners have an advantage they could not get from anyone else. ;It’s the only chance you have to make it,; says one contestant. ;You can’t get these opportunities any other way.;68.

This hobby, called bonsai (bonsai or 盆景; in Chinese characters), probably began in ancient China to show admiration for trees growing on mountains or cliffs. The gardeners appreciate how these trees havestruggled under harsh growing conditions in order to survive. Because of strongwind, poor soil, and the need to root in tiny cracks, full grown trees look small and twisted. Bonsai gardeners try to create trees that look like old twisted trees to honor such determination and will to survive.Toproduce these tiny trees, gardeners select a tree, such as an evergreen, maple,larch, or beech. The gardeners put seeds, cuttings, or a very young sapling ina tray made of shallow earthenware. The future tree needs to be placed off-center so that it can be more easily pruned, or trimmed and cut, into anirregular shape.Oncethe tree is planted, the gardeners shape it by wrapping branches with wire toforce their growth in a certain direction. In this way, the gardeners can makealmost any shape they like over time. One branch can spread sideways, for e_ample. Other branches can stay short and close to the dwarf trunk.Oncethe tree is established, gardeners must also control the rate of growth. Theydo this by sometimes re-potting the bonsai. Each time, they skillfully prunejust the right roots to reduce growth and produce the tiny, twisted branches.Fullygrown bonsai which would normally be 15 or 20 foot trees, range from barely twoinches to an average of two feet. They take at least five years to create. Withthis much time and care required, it’s not surprising that the gardener isproud of the grown bonsai as a work of art. It honors those qualities that haveenabled trees in nature to survive by barely hanging on.71. TheChinese and Japanese love those tiny trees mainly because they____.A. can produce fine building materials orbeautiful flowersB. remind people of trees growing indifficult conditionsC. are small enough to grow well indoorswithout sunshine and rainD. can be easily trimmed and cut into strangeshapes72. Theauthor write the article ;Bonsai; to __________.A. persuade people to plant bonsai treesB. inform people about China and JapanC. inform people about the hobby of bonsaiD. persuade people to visit China and Japan73.Gardeners control how fast a bonsai tree will grow by _____.A. planting seeds and watering young saplingsB. planting the tree off-center in a shallowtrayC. planting cuttings and wrapping thebranches with wireD. planting the tree in different pots andtrimming the roots74. Thegardener plant the bonsai tree off-center in a shallow tray because ______.A. the containers have wire in the middleB. it is easier to create an irregular shapeC. the containers have cracks in the middleD. it is closer to the side and easier towater75 .Theunderlined part in the last paragraph ;barely hanging on;probably means______.A. having only enough to last their lifeB. always hanging in the airC. wandering about without doing anythingD. waiting to be attended later绵阳市高中_级第二次诊断性考试英语第II卷(,在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词.注意:原行没有错的不要改.Aman with two bad burned ears went to see 76.his tor.;What has happened on you?; asked the 77.tor.;Well, my wife is ironing while78.I waswatching a ball game on TV.

Speed and quality are important here, and the prices aren't bad either.Your Local Caff (小餐馆)Remember when cafés served full English breakfasts—sausages, beans, fried bread, bacon and eggs—with a strong cup of tea?

They are alone and are often found lying on their bed or sofa, still as a rock, looking searchingly into their laptop or at the TV. They rarely get up, only taking occasional breaks for those urgent calls of nature. Unlike so many others of their species, they don’t sleep at the end of every day. They stay up late and are often found to have red eyes.This, of course, is a little bit exaggerated, but for many of us, binge-watching a show is how we consume our entertainment. With streaming services bringing seemingly endless content to the tips of our finger, creatorstailortheir shows to our needs and tastes, while their marketing team sells it to us as the next most bingeable show. I can’t help but wonder if this way of consuming television does us any good.We’re advised to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day, but staying up all night to finish shows like ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘The Fall’, which Netflix says are binged the fastest, won’t result in 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Netflix’s CEO Richard Hastings told analysts at a conference, “Think about it… when you watch a show from Netflix and you get addicted to it, you stay up late at night. We’re competing with sleep.” And it isn’t only the amount of sleep we get; the quality matters too! A study published in the Journal for Clinical Sleep Medicine reported that those who binged television more often were found to have poorer sleep quality. The mental arousal we get from watching TV doesn’t lend itself to peaceful sleep.Besides, binging TV can cause weight gain. For every extra hour of TV watched, there was a 2% increase in the prevalence of obesity, according to a study conducted by Harvard that linked TV watching to obesity in children and adolescents.While it is true that there’s growing evidence that binging isn’t good for us, the results aren’t all hopeless. Binging, occasionally, might have some benefits. For many people, binging is a good way to socialize. It gives people something to talk about at parties and with their friends. Fans of popular shows often hold viewing parties where people can binge-watch shows together and then discuss what they just experienced! This interaction can create a sense of community for many.For others, binging might just be relaxing. After a long day, a few hours of Friends—still one of the most popular shows on any streaming platform—can ease the stress of a long day. A study followed 240 people through their binging and recorded their stress hormones. They noted for some people that their stress hormone levels decreased during their binging experience.With binging, there is not a “good” or “bad” answer. Like many things, the key is moderation. Watching TV can be relaxing, but only if it doesn’t stop you from exercising, taking care of your health, and fulfilling your social responsibilities.4. What does the underlined word “tailor” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Study.B. Sell.C. Adjust.D. Promote.5. What can we learn from the passage?A. The amount of sleep matters more than the quality.B. There’s no real harm in binge-watching a TV series.C. Binging may help keep stress hormone levels stable.D. Binge-watching may help increase social connections.6. What is the author’s attitude towards binge-watching?A. Supportive.B. Unconcerned.C. ObjectiveD. Doubtful.7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Who Is to Blame for Binge-Watching?B. Is Binge-Watching Good or Bad for You?C. Is Binge-Watching Getting out of Control?D. HowDoes Binge-Watching Affect Your Life?CThe first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results.Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, thefalloutfrom second-guessing appears especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes(中风). However, if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. ''Overreaction to Fearsome Risks'' holds true for broader society.For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational (不理性的) thinking when processing information, bad events and mistakes. As much as we don't want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again, we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesn't necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too.8. The first two paragraphs suggest that________.A. bad medical outcomes affect doctorsB delivering babies can be difficult workC. some doctors are not very experiencedD. doctors sometimes make silly mistakes9. In the blood-thinner study, doctors________.A. tend to prescribe less effective medicineB. are more concerned about the patients' safetyC. become less confident in writing a prescriptionD. believe a stroke is more treatable than a bleeding10. What does the underlined word ''fallout'' in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. ResultB. BenefitC. DifferenceD. Absence11. The author will probably agree that________.A. we should not doubt our own decisionsB. our experience will pave way for our futureC. humans are emotional and irrational on the wholeD. instincts don't necessarily lead to wrong directionsDEvery day in the United States animals are beaten, ignored, or forced to struggle for survival. Left in poor conditions with no food or water, they have little hope as they live out their days without the mercy they deserve. Some are found and rescued, given the chance to experience how great life and humans can be; others aren't so lucky. To grow as a nation, we must fight for these abused(受虐待的) animals’ rights and seriously punish heartless owners.One of the first steps in protecting animals and creating effective cruelty laws is to know what animal cruelty actually is. There are two categories: passive cruelty and active cruelty. The first involves acts of omission, meaning the abuse happens as a result of ignorance or lack of action. Passive cruelty might seem less serious, but that is not the case; it can lead to terrible pain and suffering, and finally death. Examples include starvation, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and the failure to get medical care. Passive cruelty is sometimes due to the owner's ignorance, so many animal control officers will first try to educate ignorant owners on how to properly care for animals before giving them a citation(传票) or putting them in prison.Active cruelty, on the other hand, is more well-known and disturbing. Sometimes referred to as non-accidental injury, this type of abuse involves purposeful harm on an animal in order to feel more powerful or gain control. Active cruelty against animals should be taken very seriously, since it can be a sign that a person has serious psychological issues and may commit more acts of violence---possibly against humans.It is hard to tell just what drives people to harm innocent animals. Most animal abusers find some sort of achievement or power in torturing a victim that they know can't fight back. While not all animal abusers become serial killers, it is important to take every case seriously.As a nation we need to make it our right to come together and ensure the safety of our beloved pets. As Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”12. What is the first step to do with the passive cruelty abusers?A. To throw them into prison.B. To bring the case to the court.C. To teach them how to treat animals.D. To give them a strong warning.13. We can learn from Para.3 that active cruelty ______.A. is actually a sign of power or controlB. has been taken seriously in the nationC. may lead to serious psychological problemsD. may cause acts of violence against humans14. What is the author’s attitude towards animal cruelty?A. Uncertain.B. Doubtful.C. Concerned.D. Pessimistic.15. The author wrote this passage to ______.A. warn those heartless pet ownersB. tell people the harm of animal crueltyC. explain the reasons why people harm animalsD. call on people to fight for the abused animals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。

They read in a different way. Jenny Lee and other braille (盲文) transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots. Blind people can read these dots with their fingers. To know what braille feels like, take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper. Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she’d ever be able to read and write them easily. She took a class and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam: she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille. Today, Lee works for a publisher. One of her jobs is to change children’s books into braille.To do this, Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer program to translate it into the braille code. Next, she looks over the translation several times to make sure it’s mistake-free. After that, a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer. Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistakes. When a book is ready, many copies of it are printed. Afterwards, some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. That’s when Lee takes a break. Several of Jenny Lee’s co-workers, who are blind, use guide dogs. When the animals aren’t working, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them. To her, playing with dogs “is always apick-me-upin the middle of the day”.“I love this mission,” Lee says. “Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kid’shands.”4. How does the writer explain what braille feels like?A. By explaining what braille words look like.B. By describing how blind people read books.C. By asking readers to experience it themselves.D. By giving examples of different braille words.5. What was Lee’s first reaction to braille?A. She was excited to get a new skill.B. She was amazed at the clever idea.C. She realized she could teach it herself.D. She believed it would be difficult to learn.6. What does the underlined word “pick-me-up” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?A A discussion to release work stress.B. Something to improve one’s appetite.C. Something to help restore one’s spirit.D. A free ride accompanied with a guide dog.7. What does Lee think of her job?A. Profitable and hopeful.B. Tiring but meaningful.C. Relaxing and helpful.D. Boring but challenging.COver the years, NASA has successfully sent several rovers (飞行器) to Mars. While the science laboratories continue to provide important information on the Red Planet, they keep the space exploration rovers staying closeto the original landing place.To get a more comprehensive (详尽的) view of Mars, the US Space Agency plans to make a small test helicopter with the Mars 2020 Rover, which will be sent off in July 2020.The football-sized “marscopter” weighs about four pounds.It can fly at about ten times the speed of helicopters on Earth. The light weight and fast speed are important for the helicopter to be able to fly in the thin Mars atmosphere, which is about just one percent of that of Earth. “To make it fly in that thin Mars atmosphere, we had to make everything ready, and make it as light as possible while being as strong and powerful as it can possibly be. “Mimi Aung, Mars helicopter project manager, said in a meeting.Upon landing on the Red Planet, the Mars 2020 Rover will find a proper location to send of the helicopter.The helicopter will start with a short climb, no higher than 10 feet, and hover (盘旋) for just 30 seconds before landing back on the Mars surface. If all goes well, five more flights of longer distances, for 90 seconds each, will be conducted over the next 30 days. The short journeys will be recorded by a small camera and sent back to the scientists on Earth.If the plan goes on well, the first helicopter to fly in another world, will open up a whole new way to explore Mars. The Mars helicopter's first flight will be a great invention. For those of us whose research is about flight, that would be a wonderful, historic moment.8. To fly in thin Mars atmosphere，we should make the helicopter_______.A. strong and heavyB. heavy and fastC. light and fastD. strong and slow9. How many times will the helicopter fly?A. Three timesB. Four timesC. Five timesD. Six times10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It’s interesting to fly in another world.B. I' s important to fly in another world.C. The plan to fly the helicopter goes on well.D. The helicopters first flight is successful.11. What may be the best title for the passage?A. To send a helicopter to Mars in 2020B. To send a rover to Mars in 2020C. To live in the thin Mars atmosphereD. To send back records to scientistsDHappiness is not a warm phone, according to a new study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their Phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing computer games,using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions."The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use," Twenge said. "Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness."Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU. S.teens. Specifically, young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That's the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens' lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep.12. Which method did Twenge's team use for the study?A. Calculating students' happiness.B. Asking students certain questions.C. Analyzing data from a survey.D. Doing experiments on screen time.13. How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3?A. By making a comparison.B. By giving an example.C. By making an argument.D. By introducing a concept.14. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A To draw a conclusion from the study.B. To offer some advice to the readers.C. To prove social activities' importance.D. To support the researchers' finding.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Quitting Phones Equals HappinessB. Screen Time Should Be BannedC. Teens' Lives Have Changed SharplyD. Screen-addicted Teens Are Unhappier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。

Their lack of real-world friendship．CEvery driver is familiar with the horrible blind spot problem．However，it is more than just an annoyance．According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration，over 840，000 car accidents occur due to the blind spot．Those zones which cannot be directly observed by the driver often causes incidents that result in serious property damage and in some cases even death．-While drivers can take precautions such as adjusting the driver's seat and side mirrors properly，installing backup cameras and so on，they won't remove the invisible spots completely．Therefore，the driver will always have to carry the responsibility of being constantly aware of blind spots because failing to do that can lead to accidents．Luckily，now there's a solution to that and it comes from a 14-year-old girl，who doesn't even have a driver's license yet．However，not being able to drive didn't prevent Alaina Gassier from understanding the important issue of traffic accidents resulting from blind spots．In fact，she knows the problem so well that she actually solved it for us．And the way she did it is nothing but genius．Her project is called "Improving Automobile Safety by Removing Blind Spots'*and work in a relatively simple way as she explained："I did that by having a camera behind the A - pillar of a car and the camera sent the video to a projector that projected （投射）the image onto thepillar essentially making it invisible and making the driver see behind it．"To complete this invention，she used easily attainable materials such as a webcam，projector，and 3D-printed materials that project the view from outside your vehicle onto the blind spots of your car．Gassier was awarded for her life-saving invention．It earned her the top place in a nationwide competition for middle schoolers with the $25，000 Samueli Foundation Prize in honor of overall STEM （Science，Technology，Engineering，Mathematics）excellence．8.Why is the blind spot problem more than an annoyance______A. It is familiar to every driver．B. It cannot be seen by drivers．C. It may cause serious accidents．D. It is often overlooked by drivers．9.What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refer to______A. Adjusting the driver's seat．B. Being constantly aware of blind spots．C. Adjusting side mirrors．D. Installing backup cameras．10.Which of the following statement is wrong______A. Gassier is a student，who can't drive．B. Gassier is talented enough to make the invention．C. Gassier uses easily-accessible materials in her invention．D. Gassier won first place in an international competition．11.What can be the best title for this passage______A. A Great Invention from A Young DriverB. Improving Vehicle Sale by Removing Blind SpotsC. A Girl's Way to Solve the Blind Spot Problem in CarsD. A New Generation of Cars without the Blind Spot ProblemDAnyone who commutes（通勤）by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life．But humans are not alone in facing potential traffic jam．Ants also commute一between their nest and sources of food．The survival of their colonies（群体）depends on doing this efficiently．"The more they are，the more food they're going to bring back．But at the same time，they might end up with traffic jam because there are too many of them．" Sebastien Motsch， a mathematician in Arizona State University said．When humans commute，there's a point at which cars become dense enough to slow down the flow of traffic，causing congestion．Motsch and his colleagues wanted to know if ants on the move could also get blocked．So they control traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food．Then they waited and watched．The flow of ants did increase initially as ants started to fill the bridge and then stabilize at high densities．But it never slowed down，even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants．The researchers then took a closer look at how the behavior of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole．That meant cautiously tracking thousands of separate ants as they made their way across the bridge．Motsch and his team found that when ants sense overcrowding，they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas，which prevents congestion．These behaviors may be made by pheromones （外激素），chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is．The ants also manageto avoid colliding with each other at high densities，which could really slow them down．Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems？Not likely，says Motsch．That's because when it comes to getting from point A to point B as fast as possible，human drivers put their own goals first．Individual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed the colony．But the research could be useful in bettering traffic flow for self-driving cars，which can be designed to be less like selfish humans一and more like ants．12.What is the purpose of the research？______A. To compare humans with ants．B. To see how ants，avoid traffic jam．C. To solve the problem of traffic jam．D. To see whether ants will encounter a traffic jam．13.What did the researchers do before testing the ants？______A. They built bridges of different widths．B. They made the ants on the move．C. They watched the ants closely．D. They got the ants blocked．14.What is the result of the research？______A. The ants avoid entering high-density areas．B. The ants never stop and no traffic jam happens．C. The ants sense overcrowding and adjust their speed．D. The ants give off chemicals to tell others where they can go．15.What's the researchers' attitude to solving our own traffic jam？______A. Optimistic．B. Doubtful．C. Indifferent．D. Supportive．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）With the rise of basic economy and budget airline models that charge extra for seat selection，it's become a lot harder for groups，especially families with kids，to secure seats next to each other．(1) ．(2) ．The earlier you book your family's travel，the more likely that you will be able to reserve seats that arc next to each other．Contact your airline and ask it to accommodate your family，if you can't initially be seated together．Discuss with the airline your concerns about a child being seated alone．(3) ，they may be able to assure you that each child is seated next to an adult family member．Check reservations and seat assignments directly with the airline，if you book through a third party online agency．If you did not book your travel directly with an airline，obtain or confirm your seat assignments directly with the airline as soon as possible before the day of travel．(4) ．Confirm reservations and seat assignments again before you leave for the airport．You may wish to confirm your seat assignments before you would normally go to the airport as your seat assignments could have changed after booking due to an aircraft adjustment with a different seating arrangement．(5) ．They will do whatthey can to help families who need to sit together．A．The earlier，the betterB．Book tickets as early as possibleC．Even if the airline is unable to seat the whole family togetherD．Here are some tips to help you sit together without paying extraE．Even though the airline is unwilling to take your concerns into considerationF．If your seat assignments have changed，you can contact the airline to ask for help G．This can be done either on the website or over the phone by contacting reservations16.

And if it can be done with the Tasmanian tiger, it may also be possible to resurrect (复活) creatures that have been extinct for far longer.“There used to be a time when extinction meant forever, but no more, ” said Professor Mike Archer. “We are now able to seriously challenge whether those animals that have gone for ever. What has been achieved is a very important step in bringing back those animals that are extinct. And while I think that technically it is still pretty difficult at the moment, we can now see the possibilities. I’m personally convinced that the Tasmanian tiger will be brought back to life in my lifetime.”The breakthrough came after nine years of experiments by scientists at the University of Melbourne, who extracted a gene from one of several tigers preserved in alcohol in a Melbourne museum. They removed the equivalent gene from a mouse embryo implanted the tiger gene and then watched as the mouse continued to grow normally, suggesting the tiger gene had been activated.Team leader Dr. Andrew Pask said it was the first time DNA from an extinct species had been used to “induce (引起) a functional response in another living organism”.However, the animal’s entire gene structure would have to be revived in the same way to even begin the possibility of bringing the Tasmanian tiger back from the dead.Mick Mooney, a wildlife officer ofthe Tasmanian Government, was worried that such developments could encourage people’s indifference to the protection of endangered species.“If people think that we can bring animals back to life after they’ve gone, they will start saying that there is nothing to worry about because we can fix it up later.”12.
