One day in April,however,this changed.I want to find a way to challenge myself.I decided I was going to train for the Chicago marathon and complete it in six months.The day finally came.For the first 11 miles,everything was going great.I was pacing(调整节奏）myself correctly and there wasn't too much pain or tiredness building up in my legs. Shortly after mile 12,however,I started to feel some es 12-17 became a mental battle as I tried to convince myself to get to the finish line without walking.Miles 17-20 were getting hard.I had to consciously push myself to stay at the race pace I was aiming for.My ankles(脚踝）were starting to hurt and my legs were giving out.At around mile 21 I got a stomach ache.I thought I might have to stop and walk for a minute,but the determination side of my brain took over and said,"Stick to your goals and never give up!”The last 3-4 miles of the marathon were like nothing I have experienced.At the aid station at mile 24 I walked for a few seconds and drank some water.Then I started running and slowly I got back up to speed and went on.The last mile stands as the single most difficult thing I have done physically and mentally.Every step I took,my brain was screaming at me to walk.but I wouldn't listen.When I crossed the finish line I was so happy and excited that I began to cry.I will never forget this day and I encourage everyone to go after that big event you have been thinking about, because although it will be hard,there are few more rewarding feelings than the feeling I had today crossing the finish line at the Chicago Marathon.24.The writer ran a marathon because he/she wanted toA.win a prizeB.get into shapeC.make a differenceD.take up a sport25.What was the writer's mental battle at the Marathon?A.To run or not to.B.To walk or not to.C.To stop or not to.D.To rest or not to.20.What played an important role in the writer's completing the Marathon?A.Enthusiasm.B.Interest.C.Experience.D.Determination.21.How did the writer feel about the experience at the Chicago Marathon?A.Painful.B.Amazing.C.Embarrassing.D.Enjoyable.CAn online tool has been released(推出）which is able to bring black and white photographs to life by adding colour to them using artificial intelligence(AI).Colourisation(上色）of old photos is normally a process taking a lot of time,which requires special training and expensive software.The tool,ColouriseSG,is able to do it for free. It is trained on old pictures and uses machine learning to guess what it thinks the pictures would have looked like in colour.＂The purpose of colourisation is to produce a picture with colours that seem to be right," thetool's developers say."It by no means makes sure that the colourised picture is an accurate（精确的）representation of the original photo in time."The free-to-use tool was developed to provide an accurate way for people from Singapore to edit their black and white pictures.The idea of ColouriseSG was to provide a large enough data-set to be linked to people living in Singapore.Tech firm NVIDIA has released several different picture editing tools that are powered by AI.Its latest release is software which uses deep learning to turn even the roughest drawings into works of art.The new program,GauGAN,named after famous French impressionist Paul Gaugin,uses a tool called GAN to recognize simple lines and turn them into realistic pictures.Its application could help jobs,for example,urban planning,edit pictures faster and with greater accuracy,according to the company.“It's much easier to come up with designs with simple drawings,and this technology is able to turn these drawings into highly realistic pictures,"said Bryan Catanzaro,vice president of applied deep learning research at NVIDIA.28.How does ColouriseSG colourise photos?A.By learning from people in Singapore.B.By presenting old photos correctly.C.By editing original colors on the photos.D.By making a guess based on a data-set.29.According to the passage,GauGAN canA.colourise black and white photos accuratelyB.employ deep learning to create works of artC.make Tech firm NVIDIA known to peopleD.turn rough drawings into realistic pictures30.The passage is mainly aboutA.the colourisation of old picturesB.the technology of machine learningC.picture editing tools powered by AID.simple lines changed into photos31.The passage is most probably aA.science reportB.technology reviewC.research planboratory recordDAt Mrs.Jennings' handsome house,in London.While waiting for dinner,Marianne Dashwood wrote a letter very quickly.Elinor Dashwood noticed a large“W"in the address.Marianne rang the bell to have someone post it immediately.After dinner,there was a loud knock at the door.Marianne cried,“Oh,it's Willoughby!”and seemed to throw herself into his arms when Colonel Brandon came in.She was so surprised she immediately left the room.Elinor made the tea for Colonel Brandon.He did not stay long.The next morning,upon arriving at home after shopping,Marianne flew upstairs.＂No letter has been left here for me since we went out.How strange!"she said,in a low and disappointed voice.About a week later,they saw Mr.Willoughby's card on the table when they came in from morning's drive.He had been there while the ladies were out.＂He will call again tomorrow,"said Elinor.Marianne decided to stay behind the next morning,when the others went out.One look at her sister when they returned was enough to tell Elinor that Willoughby had not called.Colonel Brandon came again to tea and had short private conversation with Elinor.＂Your sister's engagement to Mr.Willoughby is very well known.”＂It cannot be well known,returned Elinor." for her own family does not know it."“T am sorry but I did not realize it was a secret.I came to ask,is everything decided?Is it possible to ? Excuse me,Miss Dasnwood. I believe I have been wrong in saying so much”From these words Elinor was sure of something,yet she knew he could never be successful with her.Over the next three or four days,Willoughby neither came nor wroteOne evening at a party,Marianne suddenly saw wiioughby standing in deep conversation with a young woman,whose name was Grey,a rich lady.“He is there!Oh!Why does he not look at me?W hy can't I speak to him?"“Marianne,"said Elinor,"perhaps he hasn't seen you yet."At last he came to them.＂Willoughby,what's wrong?Did you not get my letters?Won't you look at me?”After a moment's pause,he spoke."I came by last Tuesday but unfortunately did not see you.My card was not lost,I hope."“Have you not received my notes?"cried Marianne."Tell me,Willoughby;tell me,what's the matter?"Quiet and embarrassed,he said nothing more and turned quickly away to Miss Grey. Marianne,turning white and unable to stand,fell into her chair.32.Before the party,Marianne badly desiredA.to write a letter to WilloughbyB.to receive Willoughby's cardC.to be visited by WilloughbyD.to be invited by Willoughby33.The underlined word"something"in Para.14 refers toA.Marianne' s love for BrandonB.Brandon's love for MarrianneC.Willoughby's love for MarianneD.The Dashwoods'love for money34.What do you know about Willoughby?A.He didn't call Marianne until the party to give her a surprise.B.He was too shy to declare in public his deep love for Marianne.C.He was already on the side of another woman with more money.D.He felt disappointed that Brandon was between him and Marianne.35.How do you find Marianne in the story?A.More selfish than kind.B.More strong than weak.C.More calm than impatient.D.More sensitive than sensible.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

江苏省淮安市淮州中学2019-2020学年高一英语下学期期末试题含解析一、选择题1. Kitty wondered as Thomas was approaching her. “Isn’t it the first time that ______ him?” she asked herself. Her face turned red and her heart ______ faster.A. I met……beatedB. I have met……beatC. I have been meeting….beatedD. I had met…..beat参考答案：B考查时态。
句意：当Thomas接近她时，Kitty很惊讶，“这难道不是我第一次与他见面吗？”她问自己。
她的脸变红了并且心跳加快。
在“it is the first time…”结构中，一般用现在完成时，所以第一个空填I have met，由and可知，第二个空与前面的动作turned是并列关系，应该用一般过去时，而beat的过去式就是beat，所以第二个空填beat，故选B。

Set about.BIf you’ve ever had a dog, you know just how deep a connection you can develop with “man’s best friend”. But a dog has a much shorter life span — about 12 to 15 years long — than humans, which means every dog owner has to go through the heartbreaking moment when their loving pet passes away.Why not make a clone of that dog then? This is the solution offered by a South Korean company, Sooam Biotech Research Foundation. The company has successfully cloned at least 400 dogs, mostly for US customers, ever since it pioneered the technique in 2005. Now, Sooam Biotech is planning to introduce their business toUKdog owners, offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones.Meanwhile, another dog is selected to supply an egg.Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from the skin cell and implant the egg into the womb (子宫) of a female dog. The egg grows into a puppy over the following two months. To clone a dog, researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died.The whole process takes less than a day, but it comes at a shockingly high price — around £63,000 (614,000 yuan). But if you can’t afford it now, you can also save the cells in a laboratory and access them at a later date. Just like identical twins of humans, they share the exact same DNA but there will still be small differences between them. “The spots on a Dalmatian clone will be different, for example,” Insung Hwang, head of Sooam Biotech, toldThe Guardian. However, as magical as cloning might sound, there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect replica of the original one.Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not “clone-able”. Apart from genes, personality is also determined by upbringing and environment, which are both “random elements [that] cloning technologies simply cannot overcome”, Professor Tom Kirkwood atNewcastle University,UK, toldThe Telegraph.Perhaps bringing our dogs back with cloning is not the best way to remember them after all.Kirkwood, a dog owner himself, pointed out: “An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go.”4. According to the article, Sooam Biotech Research Foundation is ______.A. working on plans to help dog owners enjoy their pets longerB. offering a way to help dogs give birth to more puppiesC. providing a service that will make copies of pet dogsD. introducing a completely new technique to clone dogs5. Which of the following statements about dog cloning is TRUE according to the article?A. Dog cloning technology hadn’t been put into practice until recently.B. Dog cloning is very expensive and usually takes several months to complete.C. Dog cloning is very popular among US andUKpet owners.D. Cloned dogs might develop different habits and characteristics even though they look very similar.6. Which of the following shows the correct order of the dog cloning process?a. an egg is taken from another dogb. a skin cell is taken from the pet dog and saved in a laboratoryc. the egg is placed in the womb of a female dogd. the DNA of the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin celle. the egg grows into a puppy in two monthsA. acbde.B. adbce.C. bacde.D. badce.7. We can learn from the article thatKirkwood______ dog cloning.A. disapproves ofB. supportsC. is afraid ofD. is curious aboutCA Bridge Linking Art and the AudienceAccording to a 2018 report, people aged between 16 and 24 make up about 15 percent of the population but only 10 percent of museum-goers. Similarly, people aged over35 go half as much as you would expect from their population size. We have reached the point of recognising the disconnection between art and the audience but haven’t yet determined how to bridge the gap. Two answers to tackling this challenge lie in telling a greater diversity of art histories and communicating these stories in more accessible ways.In 2018, a radio program called Art Matters was started with the aim of discussing art from a pop-culture viewpoint with topics that would engage younger and more diverse audience. It offers an accessible pathway to art history with conversations on different topics. Art history is about storytelling; art content shines when there is an effort to bring audience along for the discussion.More traditional institutions are paying attention. Recently theGettyMuseumissued a social-media challengefor people to recreate paintings using items they had at home. Users displayed incredible creativity, and the museum was flooded with submissions. This reaction proves that there is a potential desire for the audience to engage with art topics if the format is appealing. Since many people feelintimidatedand think that there’s a base level of understanding required to join the conversation, the Getty initiative serves as a reminder that there are many pathways to engaging with it.Another result of the Getty challenge was the exposure given to a diversity of artworks. The famous opera singer Peter Brathwaite, for example, made scores of attractive recreations highlighting centuries of black paintings. His efforts opposed the idea that there were not many historical paintings of black figures. It is extremely important that we do a better job of showing the complex and diverse stories that are represented in art.Social media have offered a platform for people who have not traditionally had a seat at the table. Anyone can recognise a gap in the field and address it. Accounts have gathered tens of thousands of followers. They are the proof that there is hunger to hear these art histories, and these themes work brilliantly for museum programming.But there is only so much that can be done without the museums and galleries changing meaningfully from within. We need to see a better balance of these stories represented in permanent collections. We also need a much wider diversity of people and interests represented on board. Ensuring that art-and writing and talking about art-is able to continue on the rising generation of storytellers, inside and outside of institutions, getting the funding and support they need to paint a brighter picture for the part.8. What challenge is the author trying to tackle?A. People doubt a great diversity of artworks.B. Fewer and fewer young people go to museums.C. Art appears too distant from common audience.D. Adult audience has a different understanding of art.9. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Tired.B. Worried.C. Annoyed.D. Surprised.10. In the author’s opinion, the museums and galleries should ________.A. make the art history stories accessible in a traditional way.B. change meaningfully for activities like the Getty challenge.C. limit the number of storytellers both in and out of institutions.D. improve the permanent collections by adding famous artworks.11. We can conclude from the passage that common audience ________.A. lacks the channels to understand and talk about art history.B. prefers to view artworks and hear art stories on social media.C. feels satisfied with people and interests represented on board.D. refuses to engage with diverse art topics and art history stories.DA teenager in Georgia will no longer have to walk 7 miles to work after school thanks to one woman’s act of kindness.Jayden Sutton, a high school senior, went on foot each day from school to his job at a restaurant and then back home. Sutton was determined to work and make enough money to eventually buy his own vehicle.Sutton said he’d leave school at 3:30 pm, then walk miles to his job at the restaurant. After his work, which usually lasted six to eight hours, he walked home, sometimes not arriving back until almost midnight.That all changed when Myers saw him walking down the road in the rain in December. “The young man was insistently in a rush walking to work, saying ‘I can’t be late,’” Myers said. “He begged me to give him a ride. I told him I could take him as far as I was going. I began to create small talk along the way. It wasrevealedto me that his name was Jayden, 12th grader, worked 40 hours a week, walked 5 miles to work immediately after school, got off at 10:30 pm at night and walked back home another 5 miles if co-workers didn’t offer a ride.”After dropping Sutton off, Myers said his heart and determination filled her with tears. “He was smiling in good spirits and that’s a child worth blessing,” she told Fox News. So, Myers shared Sutton’s story on the GoFundMe page, which raised more than $ 9, 000 from 186 donors.She surprised Sutton with a new car after she managed to convince the general manager to drop the price of the vehicle to meet the budget.12. Why did Sutton work so hard in his spare time?A. To gain working experience.B. To pay for his education.C. To own a car.D. To support his family.13. What difficulty did Sutton have in his work at the restaurant?A. He worked longer than other workers.B. His work was too tiring.C. His job was much less paid.D. He had to walk to work.14.

A team of Indonesian and Australian researchers say the work dates back nearly 44，000 years. That is several thousand years older thanEuropean examples of cave art that appear to tell a story.The painting was found in a limestone cave on the island of Sulawesi in 2017． It shows eight human-like beings hunting six animals. Among the animals are native species such as buffaloes and warty pigs. The researchers say the painting suggests a "game drive, a communal hunt." The human-like creatures appear to be carrying ropes and spears. This, the researchers say, shows that the Sulawesi hunters at that time may have attempted to capture live adult pigs and buffaloes.The Indonesian cave painting also provides some of the earliest evidence of human spirituality, said Adam Brumm. He is an archaeologist at Australia's Griffith University, which carried out the research. Brumm was a co-writer of a report on the study. The report said the eight creatures seen carrying out the hunt have some human-like qualities and some qualities of animals. Researchers call these creatures "therianthropes." Brumm said that therianthropes appear in stories and myths across cultures. "They are seen as gods, spirits, or ancestral beings many religions worldwide," he added.The Griffith researchers said cave art on Sulawesi was first discovered in the 1950s. At least 242 caves and shelters containing such imagery have been found in the years since. The island was once known as Celebes.Some of the caves have been damaged. This could threaten the art, said Adhi Agus Oktaviana, an Indonesian expert on rock art. He is a Griffith University doctoral student who was involved in the research. He pointed to threats from salt, dust, smoke and microorganisms. Oktaviana added that, "It would be a calamity if these exceptional old artworks should disappear in our own lifetime, but it is happening."A paper on the research appeared this month in the scientific publication Nature.（1）What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about？___A． The origin of the painting.B． The contents of the painting.C． The category of the painting.D． The value of the painting.（2）What can be inferred from paragraph 3？___A． Hunting is the everlasting（永恒的） theme of the painting.B． Adam Brumm alone finished a report on the study.C． Therianthropes might be a symbol of religion beliefs.D． The painting reflects the whole evidence of human spirituality.（3）What does the underlined phrase "a calamity" in paragraph 5 mean？___A． A slow change.B． An important factor.C． A positive influence.D． A terrible event or situation.（4）From which column can this article be most easily found in a magazine？___A． Science.B． Discovery.C． Amusement.D． Technology.12.（填空题，6分）Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more motivating than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated by scientists whose success was associated with effort than those whose success was attributed to born intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein.Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at Penn State, and Janet N． Ahn, an assistant professor of psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings -recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology- will help deal with certain myths about what it takes to succeed in science.According to the researchers, there is concern in the science community with the number of students who pursue careers in science during school only to drop out from those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ahn wanted to research role modeling, which gives the students specific goals, behaviors or strategies they can follow.The researchers performed studies with 176 participants in it. In the study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist encountered in their science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Despite the stories being the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein's success. Additionally, the participants who believed the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of math problems."This confirmed that people generally seem to view Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly linked to extraordinary talent," Hu said. "Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1，000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is usually linked to his persistence and diligence." Hu added, "Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and effort, that message is much more inspiring. Young people are always trying to find inspiration from and mimic the people around them. If we can send themessage that struggling for success is normal, that could be incredibly beneficial and more students will step into science confidently."（1）What is the concern in the science community？___A． Fewer students will work on science.B． The students will drop out of school soon.C． There are fewer role models for students to follow.D． Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.（2）Why would some participants like to complete a series of math problems？___A． They knew the problems were given by Edison.B． They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.C． They knew they were to work together with great scientists.D． They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.（3）What is the best title for the text？___A． Einstein is Less Encouraging than EdisonB． Edison's Achievements are GreaterC． How to Be a Great ScientistD． Einstein's Success Story13.（填空题，8分）While walking through some remote forest in Indonesia's West Sumatra, some biologists claim to have spotted the world's largest flower ever recorded.The flower is a giant Rafflesia tuan-mudae, a species that only comes out for about seven days at the end of the plant's lifespan. The record flower measured is at a diameter（直径） of 111 centimeters, which makes it larger than the previous record holder by 4 centimeters, also a Rafflesia tuan-mudae. "This is the largest Rafflesia tuan-mudae that has ever been documented," said Ade Putra at the Agam Conservation Agency in Sumatra.The flower is characterized by its flesh-colored petals（花瓣） that are covered in white spots. That might not sound like the most attractive description, but it's proper considering the smell this species is known to give off Rafflesia tuan-mudae is a type of special flower, which smells like a dying body. Don't let this fact lessen the glory of a find like this, however. What the flower lacks in fragrance is made up for in its fascinating biology.The pungent smell is meant to attract flies, which are this flower's main pollinators（传粉者）． Interestingly, it's still a mystery as to what type of animal distributes the tuan-mudae seeds. These plants also grow inside the root of a host plant for around nine months until suddenly showing themselves to the world with their gigantic smelly flowers.They were named "Rafflesia" after a British colonialist, Sir Stamford Raffles, who was the first person to officially identify one in the early 19th century. Hopefully for Raffles sake, it was named after him to honor the discovery, not because of the sir's smell.Luckily, it takes a special kind of scientists to run toward one of these flowers rather than away, but in this case the prize was worth the smell. Whatever its smell, it's a special plant, and it's encouraging that such rare natural wonders can still find room to grow on our crowded planet.（1）What was the diameter of the previous record holder of the biggest flower？___A． 104 centimeters.B． 107 centimeters.C． 111 centimeters.D． 115 centimeters.（2）What does the underlined word "pungent" mean in Paragraph 4？___A． Strong and unpleasant.B． Relaxing and soft.C． Fragrant and sharp.D． Pleasant and attractive.（3）What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph？___A． When the flower was found.B． Where the flower was found.C． How the flower was named.D． Why the flower was so special.（4）What is the author's feeling about the discovery？___A． Cautious.B． Fortunate.C． Doubtful.D． Satisfied.14.（填空题，8分）A N． DEVERS， an American writer, was at a rare-book fair in New York City in 2015 when she noticed a Joan Didion title selling for just ＄25． Then she saw the price tag of a novel by the equally famous Cormac McCarthy： about ＄600． "I realized we don't value women's work the same way we do men's," Devers says. "It's depressing. But it's also exciting, because I can do something about it."Three years later, after moving to London and joining the U．K．'s booming rare-book trade, Devers opened the red doors of her new bookstore, the Second Shelf. Located in a quiet courtyard off the busy streets of London's Soho, the store almost exclusively stocks rare books by women （alongside a handful of male-authored books about women）． The focus is modern fiction： Elizabeth Bowen novels, romances by Rosamunde Pilcher, poetry by Ntozake Shange.Devers' skill for finding overlooked jewels was polished during a childhood of visits to yard sales in towns across the U．S．， a result of her family's following her father's Air Force job. Some of her most sought-after recent finds were works by Miriam Tlali, the first black woman to publish a novel in South Africa. Devers hit on her 1975 debut in a charity store and quickly sourced and sold 15 more Tlali books.In collecting these works, the Second Shelf is correcting a historical imbalance that has allowed woman's literary achievement to be eclipsed． Book dealers have tended to be men；much of the trade's early material was collected by "country gentleman who ran estates and accumulated libraries of books to show their wealth and intelligence," Devers says. She argues that they've been like their peers in other male-led creative industries-including television, film and the news media-in that "they focus on themselves."That past contributes to a plain absence of women's work among the books considered to be valuable cultural objects. In January, the Second Shelf went viral （走红） on Twitter after Devers pointed out that only nine books by women appeared in a list, produced by a trade website, of the 500 biggest sales at auction in the books-and-paper field last year. Even among more recently published works, a 2018 study found, titles by women are on average priced 45% lower than books by men.In recent years, calls have gone out to read only books by women for a year and for universities to expand their curriculums. The observance of Women's History Month in the U．S has also made March a time for publishers to suggest fitting reading lists. Devers' shop is the physical site of that movement challenging the current situation. "We've been taught to find value in something really narrow," she says. "It's time to explore something different."（1）The first paragraph tells the readers___ ．A． how Devers was exposed to rare book tradeB． why Devers named her shop the Second ShelfC． what motivated Devers to open the Second ShelfD． where Devers first came across women's literary works（2）The underlined word "eclipse" in the fourth paragraph means___ ．A． fully exposedB． partially hiddenC． seriously treatedD． roughly explained（3）Which may explain the absence of the great literary works by women？___A． The trade used to be dominated by men.B． Women writers' ideas conflict with the book dealers'．C． Males tend to be productive in the creative industry.D． The majority of male readers don't read modern fiction.（4）What can be inferred from the passage？___A． The Second Shelf is helping turn a page for women in literature.B． More physical bookstores like Devers have been opened to change the situation.C． In recent years, university curriculums have emphasized books by women.D． Women's History Month has pushed women writers to be more productive.15.（填空题，10分）Do you know how to keep your smart phone's battery healthy？（1）___ If you want to delay having to replace your battery or buy a new phone, here's how to ---and how not to--- charge your phone.（2）___Just plug it in whenever you can, even if it's for a few minutes, and you'll be fine. "Partial charges cause no harm," according to Battery University.Don't fully discharge your phone before plugging it in.The so-called deep discharges happen when you use your phone until only a small part of its battery life is left. （3）___ The batteries inside your smart phones will have the longest lifespan if they're kept between 65% and 75% charged at all times.Never fully charge your battery--and particularly not from a low charge level.（4）___ According to Battery University, lithium-ion（锂离子） batteries do "not need to be fully charged, nor is it desirable to do so. In fact, it is better not to fully charge, because a high voltage（电压） stresses the battery" and wears it out in the long run.You likely shouldn't charge your phone overnight.There have been a lot of debate about the effects of charging your smart phone overnight. But if charging to 100% damages a phone battery's lifespan badly, you should probably cut it out. （5）___A． And unplug your phone before it reaches 100%．B． Battery University says these wear down batteries.C． Never charge your phone when you leave it uncharged for days.D． In fact, charging from pretty much any amount to 100% is a bad idea.E． The best way to charge your phone is a little at a time whenever you have a chance.F． The best way to save your battery is to change a new one in time before it costs you longer time.G． In fact, you may have been quickening the death of your phone's battery with your charging habits.16.（填空题，30分）Together with his wife, Salgado has nearly completed the （1）___ of a single uninterrupted section（部分） of the Atlantic Forest, planting millions of trees over the last two decades.Salgado grew up on a 1，750-acre farm in the state of Minas Gerais, 70 miles inland from Brazil's Atlantic coast.

Do note that there is one word more than you need.It is believed that in such a petitive age, art education is close to an unnecessary part in schools today. However, most of the 41 that a student would gain out of a basic education in art are almost unbelievable.There has been years of research 42 in the importance of art education and what art education goals are. The studies prove that what students gain out of an art education is almost43 , where any other course is concerned.A child whose parents are rich will naturally and very often be 44 to art, whether it is in the form of art pieces hanging at home or visits to fashionable art museums etc. This has again been seen over the years by researchers. At the same time, it has been noticed that exposure to art is something that is very 45 for children who belong to families with little money and they end up spending their childhood without forming any 46 with art.Art education goals in school therefore should be that 47 exposure to the wonders of art should be given to all students, whatever age group and whatever their family backgrounds are, because one never knows where talent might be 48 .However, art education goals have been slipping away from our education system for more twenty years now as people have begun to pay less importance to the 49 of art in their children’s lives. The reasons for this could be 50 budgets as well as stuffing of curriculum in classrooms s part of State mandates. Whatever these unfortunate reasons are, people have to once again realize art education goals and how they can actually be helping each student.III.

Fill in each blank w ith the word or phrase that best fits the context.We often praise science. It explains the world and makes our lives 51 through technology. One of the most exciting scientific 52 is artificial intelligence (人工智能，AI). This is an area in which scientists are working on 53 machines that think like humans.54 , one of the most famous scientists has a very dark 55 about this type of technology.“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the 56 of the human race,” said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.Hawking is a well-known British physicist and the author of the bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. He gave his warning after 57 on the technology he uses to speak with. As Hawking 58 from a serious disease called ALS, he needs an AI puter to 59 . The puter learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the 60 he may want to use next.This is a basic type of AI, and is very useful, yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can 61 or surpass (超过) human intelligence. And it’s easy to 62 how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films display big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t pete ,” said Ha wking.But not every scientist is 63 about AI technology. “I believe we will remain64 the technology for a long time,” said Rollo Carpenter, the UK-based creator of Cleverbot, a software program that remembers past conversations. “The65 of it to solve many of the world’s problems will be realized.”In what direction do you think AI is heading?

A. potential B. talent C. performance D. responsibilitySection B (22%)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Tidying up the carMY younger daughter, Lauren, has a new car and she has managed to keep it spotlessly clean since she bought it in July.Lauren’s old car was messy. It was essentially a large garbage dump on wheels. I must admit that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree because until I got my present car, all of my many automobiles had been messy too.The worst thing about her car was that it took on water every time it rained. No one could ever find the source of the leak, which created a pool on the floor of the front passenger side. It also created tides: When I drove uphill, the water rushed to the back. When I drove downhill, the water rushed to the front.Four years ago, when I turned 50, I got a new car. I turned over a new leaf and, for the first time since I got my driver’s license, cleaned up my act. I gave my old car, which contained old leaves, to my wife, who in turn gave her car to Lauren. It’s the one Lauren was driving – and filling with so much stuff that there was barely enough room in the back seat for her little dog, Maggie – until she got her new car.A few weeks ago, Lauren decided to go car shopping. She went to a Volkswagen dealership because she had her eye on a Jetta. She had her other eye on my wallet.Anyway, she saw a xx model, which was shown to her by an automotive associate named Anthony. He spent a lot of time with Lauren each of the three or four times she visited the dealership, let me test-drive the car when I went to see it, and didn’t put any pressure on any of us. In short, Anthony gave used car salesmen a good name.But he was no match for Lauren when it came to negotiating the price, which he lowered to what she said she could afford and not a penny more.So now, at 25, which is half the age I was when I cleaned up my act, Lauren has done the same. Her car has been clean for almost three months. Even the dog is impressed.The downside (负面) is that my wife’s car is messy. And she wants a new one, too.66.By saying “I must admit that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”, the author means that______.A. it’s mon for pe ople to keep their old automobiles messyB. Lauren’s old car was messy because she didn’t like it at allC. he found it hard to figure out why Lauren’s old car was always messyD. the author used to treat his car the way Lauren treated her old car before he got his present one67.What was the biggest problem with Lauren’s old car?A. There was something wrong with the front passenger side.B. Leaks in the car created a lot of problems on rainy days.C. It was always over-packed and had barely enough room in the back seat.D. Its engine didn’t work well, making it hard to drive uphill or downhill.68.Which adjective best describes the writer’s tone in the article?A. Excited.B. Critical.C. Humorous.D. Doubtful.（B）There have always been a lot of monly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:I’ll nev er lose weight – I e from a fat familyWrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercise too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism (新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat. Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boringWrong! Anything will bee boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swiping, set yourself a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gainWrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild disfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If they don’t, rest and seek medical advice.69.What does the author think about being fat?A. It is the family genes that make people fat.B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.C. A diary of exercise can prevent people from being fat.D. It is the c onsequence of people’s unbalanced lifestyle.70.According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?A. By taking varied exercise.B. By choosing simple exercise.C. By doing regular exercise.D. By sticking to outdoor exercise.71.What is the aut hor’s opinion about “No pain, no gain” in exercising?A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.B. Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.C. Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.D. Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.72.What is the purpose of the passage?A. To declare the importance of keeping fit.B. To clarify some misconceptions about fatness and exercise.C. To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.（C）Experiences change usWANT to improve your life? Then do something awesome.According to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, researchers have found that awe-inspiring experiences improve our prosocial behaviors, making us more generous and more humble. Awe-inspiring experiences make us more empathetic, allowi ng us to recognize another person’s emotional expressions better and respond with concern. And they make us more willing to engage with trust and connect with others.What kind of experiences can be called “awe-inspiring”? The examples mentioned by the journal include scuba diving, witnessing the birth of a child, watching a meteor (流星) shower, and visiting a forest. A man said he found it awe-inspiring to work with homeless people and witness their courage and kindness. Awe is an emotional response to something very large, says the article, and it challenges and expands our way of seeing the world.But the feeling of awe is felt differently by different individuals, and for different reasons. The deep blue ocean might inspire different feelings in a poet than in a fisherman, for example. According to an article in The Atlantic, a xx study from Stanford University investigated several aspects of awe and came to an interesting conclusion: the feeling of awe changes the way you think about time. The study says an awe-inspiring experience is a moment so overwhelming (无法抗拒的) that time seems to stand still.When you look at or experience something awesome, like looking at a waterfall or a sky filled with stars, your mind is fixed on the present moment. Time seems to slow down, the Stanford researchers concluded, making you feel like you have more of it to spare. This makes you feel more patient, less materialistic, and more willing to help others.Other researchers believe awe is powerful because it takes us out of our own heads. “Awe makes our individual identity less important and gets us to think about things bigger than ourselves,” Paul Piff, assistant professor of psychology at the University of California, told The Wall Street Journal. Piff has found that many simple things in life inspire awe –listening to a piece of music you haven’t heard before, going on a nature hike, or going to a pop concert. All you need to do is start noticing and marveling (对……惊叹) at the world around you.73.The underlined word “empathetic” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.A. tolerantB. enthusiasticC. independentD. understanding74.The following things are mentioned as awe-inspiring experiences EXCEPT ______.A. scuba diving or witnessing the birth of a childB. watching a meteor shower or visiting a forestC. listening to your favorite music or going to a pop concertD. looking at a waterfall or going on a nature hike75.How do awe-inspiring experiences change the way people think about time and make them moreprosocial, according to the research?A. By changing their emotional response to something large.B. By making them more focused on the present moment.C. By making them realize that life is too short to waste.D. By inspiring them to face the challenges ahead of them.76.According to Paul Piff, ______.A. awe is beneficial for social harmonyB. awe often es in an unexpected wayC. only adventurous experiences inspire aweD. awe makes us more confident in ourselvesIV.

In the US, a maverick is often admired for his or her free spirit, although others who belong to the maverick’s group may not like the maverick’s independent ways.But where did the word “maverick” come from?Early in the 1800s, a man named Samuel Augustus Maverick settled down in Texas, which was a place of wide-open land, rich soil, cattle ranches(牛场) and cowboys. As the years passed, Mr. Maverick increased his property(财产) in Texas. Before long, he owned huge pieces of land that were good for raising cattle. But he had no cattle. He wasn’t a rancher.One day, a man came to Samuel Maverick to pay him an old debt. But the man didn’t have enough money. So he offered Mr. Maverick 400 head of cattle. Mr. Maverick accepted them, but he didn’t really want them. He simply put the cattle on his land to eat and care for themselves.It was not long before the cows reproduced(繁殖). The calves grew and had more calves. Soon, hundreds of cows and calves moved freely across Samuel Maverick’s land. They also moved across the land of nearby ranch owners.It was a tradition among ranchers in the West to put a mark of ownership on newborn calves. They burned the name of their ranch into the animal’s skin with a hot iron. The iron made a clear mark called a “brand”. Brands allowed ranchers to easily see who owned which cattle.Samuel Maverick refused to brand his calves. “Why should I?” he asked. If all the other cattle owners brandedtheirs, then those without a brand belonged to him.And this is how the word “maverick” entered the American language. It meant a calf without a brand. As time passed, the word “maverick” took on a wider meaning. It came to mean a person who was too independent to follow even his or her own group.4. Why did the man give Samuel Maverick 400 head of cattle?A. To get some money.B. To return what he owed him.C. To buy some of his land.D. To ask him to raise them.5. How could the ranchers easily know who the cattle belonged to?A. Through the brand on the cattle.B. Through the name of the cattle.C. Through the appearance of the cattle.D. Through the land on which the cattle stayed.6. What can we learn about Samuel Augustus Maverick from the text?A. He was born in Texas.B. He took good care of all his cattle.C. He didn’t really want to accept the cattle.D. He followed the tradition of ranchers in the West.7. What is the text mainly about?A. How to become an independent thinker.B. “Maverick” means a calf without a brand.C. The life story of Samuel Augustus Maverick.D. How the word “maverick” got into American English.CScott and Daniel Harry are enjoying everyday tasks like shopping and washing for the first time following their move to an accommodation (住宿) support house in Kurwongbah, north of Brisbane last year.Disability Services Queensland’s Strengthening Non-Government Organisations project provided an accommodation support model that would enable residents (居住者) like Daniel and Scott to live more independently.The house is just one of many accommodation support services funded (资助)through the project. The five-bedroom house provides 24-hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs, including medical support. Care and staffing levels are varied and flexible, depending on each resident’s requirements.Scott and Daniel, who have a severe form of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, require 24-hour support in all activities of daily living. Before they moved to the house, they lived with their family. Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain(负担) on their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.“We were heavyhearted,” says Scott, who is planning to write a book about his life experiences. “But our parents now have a lot moretime for themselves. We now manage ourselves on a day-to-day basis.”Daniel is an enthusiastic gardener, taking care of his own vegetable garden. The men share the house with one other young man, and they go to rugby league games, meeting up with friends.Leeding Care Australia provides the care service at Kurwongbah. Manager Lee Garniss says setting up the facilities (设施) has not been without its challenges.“It is an unconventional model of care,” Lee says. “The home is Scott and Daniel’s home, however it is also a workplace for their support staff. Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”“We have experienced a bit of a learning phase over the last twelve months. However, by working as a team we try our best to meet the needs of both residents and staff and I think we have achieved the right balance.”8. What do we know about the house Scott and Daniel live in now?A. It was built by their parents.B. It can accommodate four residents.C. It belongs to a governmental project.D. It’s located in the center of Brisbane.9. Why did Scott and Daniel’s parents wake up frequently at night?A. To help them do exercise.B. They were making a lot of noise.C. To check on their breathing.D. They were under emotional pressure.10. How did Scott feel while living with his parents?A. A bit guilty.B. Quite happy.C. Very proud.D. Slightly angry.11. What was a challenge while setting up the facilities?A. Lack of fund.B. No workplace.C. Inexperienced staff members.D. Satisfying both staff and residents’ needs.DThere will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans by 2050. That is what a new report from the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation warns. If the current trend continues, the report said, oceans will contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish in 2025. By 2050, plastics will weigh more than fish. The problem is that each year at least 8 million tons of plastics end up in oceans around the world. This is the same as dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute.Not all plastic ends up in the ocean because someone throws a plastic bottle into the water. Plastic containers and other trash thrown onto streets and sidewalks often are swept into oceans. Unlike other types of trash in the ocean, the plastic never bio-degrades. There is a way to slow the amount of plastics going into the oceans — people can recycle more. Currently only about 14 percent of plastics are recycled. Research in Europe shows as much as 53 percent of plastic could be recycled using available technology. The report says that another solution is using less plastic for packaging products. But that is not likely to happen.“Given plastic packaging’s many benefits, both the possibility and desirability of an across-the-board dramatic reduction in the volume of plastic packaging used is clearly low, ”the report said. But the authors note reducing the use of plastics should be tried“where possible. ”For decades, scientists warned that plastics are killing fish. Research shows that fish are dying from choking after eating plastics. Another cause of death is that plastics cause“intestinal blockage and starvation, ”the environmental group said.12. Why is the garbage truck mentioned in Paragraph 1 ?A. To explain how plastics end up in the ocean.B. To warn people against the ocean pollution.C. To clarify the seriousness of the problem.D. To point out some details of the report.13. Why is plastic more dangerous than other types of trash?A. There is too much of it.B. It poisons the ocean water.C. It is from different sources.D. It is hard to break down.14. What is the author’s attitude to the suggested solutions?A. Pessimistic.B. Curious.C. Unconcerned.D. Terrified.15. What can we infer from the text?A. People are not aware of the problem.B. Recycling is limited by lack of technology.C. Plastic packaging has become part of our life.D. Fish in the ocean will be replaced by plastics.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。
