AAirplanes are known for "making" people sick. Fortunately, I've got the inside scoop on some practices that will keep you healthy on the plane and a head start on staying healthy during your travels.Start taking immunity support products BEFORE you begin your trip.Immunity support products come in a variety of forms. They are designed to prepare your body for physical stress by loading you up on the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants(抗氧化) that support great immune system functioning .If your body is weak at the beginning of the trip, any germ or bacteria is going to have easy access to your system. Get those defenses in place a few days before travel and give your body the best chance to stay healthy.Antibacterial wipes are your best friend.Take a minute to think about that airplane. How many people are touching literally every surface with hands that have blocked a sneeze, been coughed into, held the handrail of the moving sidewalk?Take along plenty of individually wrapped antibacterial wipes and use them everywhere. Wipe down the armrests, the seat belt buckle, the tray table and the remote control for the in-flight entertainment.Wear slip-on shoes.Many articles instruct passengers to wear socks on the airplanefor comfort. However, if you walk down the aisle in your socks, or even worse, use the restroom, the bottom of those socks are going to pick up all kinds of dirt. So wear shoes when you move around on the plane! Let your shoes provide a barrier to whatever might be lying onthe floor.1.Why do planes easily make people sick according to the writer?A.People lack practice to keep fit.B.There are many bacteria on the plane.C.People have too much entertainment during the flight.D.People's immune system fails to work on the plane.2.How can we protect ourselves from getting sick on the plane?A.By wearing socks.B.By stopping feeling stressful.C.By blocking coughing with hands.D.By taking some supportive products.3.What's the best title for the passage?A. Advice on safetyB. A worthwhile tripC. Stay healthy on a flightD. Be careful of your flightBWhen Rachel Ratelle saw a news video of a burned koala trying to climb a tree to safety in fire- ravaged (火灾肆虐的)Australia, she decided to do something about it.She looked up wildlife rescue and relief agencies in Australia to find out what they needed most. Besides donations, many organizations asked for hand-sewn and knitted pouches(袋子) and wraps for koalas and other animals that were burned or had lost their homes and parents in the fires.This idea attracted Ratelle, but there was just one problem."I'd never sewn in my life," said Ratelle, 17, a senior at RanchoBuena Vista High School in Vista, US. "Giving money seemed like something too simple. But I wanted to directly help these animals by doing something myself, so I decided to learn how to sew."Over the next few months, Ratelle bought her own sewing machine and taught herself how to sew via videos online. Then she bought 18 yards of fabric and sewed 25 pouches of different sizes and shipped them off to Fir Australian Wildlife Needing Aid (FAWNA), one of several relieforganizations that have rushed to rescue koalas, kangaroos and other species suffering from bums. A week later, she received a photo from FAWNA with a baby kangaroo in one of her larger pouches. "It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way," said Ratelle, who hopes to study biology for a future career as a nurse practitioner."I plan to use my new sewing skills to help animals and people devastated by natural disaster," she said.Several craft union websites around the world have called for Australian relief by making the animal pouches. Karen Newberry and her two daughters Madison, 12 and Rochelle, 8, from San Diego also offered their help in such a way. For Newberry, "It was a big push that made us crafters, sewers realize there's something more we can do than just make things for ourselves," she said.4.What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about?A.What inspired Ratelle to learn to sew.B.What is needed to save koalas and other species.C.The poor living conditions of wild animals in Australia.D.Different ways to help koalas and other animals in Australia.5.How did Ratelle feel when she received a photo from FAWNA?A. Surprised.B. Calm.C. Proud.D. Moved.6.What does the underlined word "devastated" mean?A. RuinedB. ChallengedC. ReducedD. Abandoned7.What do Newberry's words in the last paragraph suggest?A.People should stay united through difficult times.B.Life is not easy for crafters and sewers in Australia.C.It is challenging for crafters and sewers to do relief work.D.Crafters and sewers can do more to help animals.CAs spring arrives, farmers around the world are making decisions about what crops to plant and how to manage them. In theU. S., farmers typically have big data to help make these decisions.These data have a clear upside. They make farms more productive. In the U.S., the past five years have seen a series of good harvestsfor both com and soybean. A big part is generated by effectively using data to produce more food from the same amount of land, seed and fertilizer.In the poorer parts of the world, however, the picture is much different. Many farmers are guided only by their history with the land and their community's traditions. Their skills and knowledge are impressive, but they suffer from a poverty of data. They rely on technical advisors for advice from governments and academic centers who often have very little knowledge of the local area. For seeds and fertilizers and other materials used in the field, they rely on companies that lack data on how their products will perform in the local conditions.About 10 years ago, East African officials and their development partners started to explore why so few smallholder dairy farmers made profits from growing demand from urban consumers. Surveys of farmers inthe region suggested poor access to veterinary(禽畜的)care and breeding assistance. An effort to provide these services has helped farmers get more milk.Data would matter little if farming was easy and the paths toproductivity were obvious. But in reality, agriculture is a complex mix of many factors, including climate, biology, chemistry, physics, economics and culture—all of which vary from region to region. In this situation, good data is necessary.8.How has big data benefited American's farmers?A.By informing the farmers to plant crops earlier.B.By helping make farms more productive.C.By increasing the amount of land for farming.D.By producing more seeds and fertilizer.9.What do farmers in poor countries need to improve their farming?A. Farming skills.B. Technical guidance.C. Big data.D. Farming materials10.Why does the writer mention the case of East Africa?A.To show that East Africa relies heavily on diary farming.B.To illustrate cooperation between countries was a great success.C.To serve as an example of how data helps farmers in poor areas.D.To prove that city people in East Africa didn't like drinking milk.11.What can we learn from the passage?A.Many changeable factors have influence on farming.B.East African dairy farmers were experienced in raising cows.C.The American farmers can't decide what they will plant.D.The technical advisors in poor areas know the local areas well.DSmile! It makes everyone in the room feel better because they, consciously or unconsciously, are smiling with you. Growing evidence shows that an instinct for facial mimicry (模仿)allows us to experience other people's feelings. If we can't mirror another person's face, it limits our ability to read and properly react to their expressions. A review of this emotional mirroring appears on February 11 in Trends in Cognitive Sciences.In their paper, Paula Niedenthal and Adrienne Wood, social psychologists at the University of Wisconsin, describe how people in social situations copy others' facial expressions to create emotional responses in themselves. For example, if you're with a friend who looks sad, you might "try on" that sad face yourself without realizing you're doing so. In "trying on" your friend's expression, it helps you to recognize what they're feeling by connecting it with times in the past when you made that expression. Humans get this emotional meaning from facial expressions in a matter of only a few hundred milliseconds."You reflect on your emotional feelings and then you produce some sort of recognition judgment, and the most important thing that results in is that you take the appropriate action—you approach the person or you avoid the person," Niedenthal says. "Your own emotional reaction to the face changes your understanding of how you see the face in such a way that provides you with more information about what it means."A person's ability to recognize and "share" others' emotions can be prevented when they can't mimic faces. This is a common complaint for people with motor diseases, like facial paralysis(瘫痪)from a stroke, or even due to nerve damage from plastic surgery. Niedenthal notes that the same would not be true for people who suffer from birth, because if you've never had the ability to mimic facial expressions, you will have developed another ways of interpreting emotions.Niedenthal next wants to explore what part in the brain is functioning to help with facial expression recognition. A better understanding of that part, she says, will give us a better idea of how to treat related disorders.12.According to the passage, facial mimicry helpsA.convey one's own feelings clearlyB.change others' emotions quicklyC.respond to others' expressions properlyD.develop friendship with others easily13.Which parts explain how people copy others' facial expressions?A. Paragraph 1 and 2.C. Paragraph 3 and 4.B. Paragraph 2 and 3.D. Paragraph 4 and 5.14.According to Niedenthal, what will be the next focus of the study?A.When is the best time to treat brain disorders.B.How many kinds of facial expressions people have.C.How our brain helps us with emotional mirroring.D.What part in the brain helps recognize facial expressions.15.What is the purpose of writing the passage?A.To discuss why people like smiling to others.B.To draw people's attention to those with motor diseases.C.To introduce a new trend in facial expression recognition .D.To explain how people mirror others' facial expressions.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12 .5 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

广东省2021届高三英语下学期综合能力测试题九PART A: Reading Aloud模仿朗读(满分20分)In this part, you are required to watch a video clip and read after the speaker in the video.When the first polar explorers headed south, giant cathedrals of ice marked their entry into uncharted territory.

As they battled on, the ice became increasingly dominant, but nothing could have prepared them for the ice world that finally loomed into view. Terra incognita, “the unknown land”.

I grew up in a West Virginia mining town in Fayette County. A man named John moved into our town from New Orleans. He was a 21 man, who I estimated was at least 6'6, 245 pounds. He had broad shoulders and truly 22 the definition of the V body type. He was really a man with strength and endurance.John worked for some days, when there were no 23 and he was absolutely a hell of a great miner. However, the 24 day came, when I was ten; a terrible disaster 25 . Timber crossbars (木梁) were often used in mines to 26 the top. That day my father was working alongside John in the mine. A timber cracked suddenly and the loud cry of men was 27 . Hearing this, my dad and John rushed to the site of the 28 . There some miners were trapped; they felt 29 and depressed, either in shock or in prayer.In times of emergency, John began to rescue the miners without hesitation. He grabbed the timber and with a strong push applied all his 30 to it. In a seemingly impossible turn of events, the blocking moved. John 31 the timber and all the miners escaped, but in doing so, the wood structure was becoming further weakened, and John himself was trapped below in place of the miners. My father and the other miners 32 started to work with their jacks (千斤顶),desperately trying to 33 John, but the top fell down suddenly and there was no 34 of reaching him. John was buried there forever.A small marble monument was 35 in front of the entrance to the mine in memory of John, the hero who had sacrificed his life deep in the earth in order to save other miners.21.

2021届广州增城区荔城中学高三英语月考试卷及答案
2021届广州增城区荔城中学高三英语月考试卷及答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABest language learning appsDuolingoThe app doesn't restrict how many languages you can try to learn at the same time. I use Duolingo to practice Spanish and German. In the app, you can access resources such as Duolingo Stories, which can allow you to check your comprehension skills as you go. I also subscribe to Premium for $10 per month which includes an ad-free experience and downloadable lessons.MemriseOne of my favorite parts of Memrise is its short videos about how real locals express different phrases in conversation. A few lessons are available for free daily, but the full program is accessible if you subscribe to Memrise Pro. There are three plans—one month for $9, a year for $30 or three months for $19.BusuuWhen you sign up for Busuu, you select the language you want to learn, and the app helps you determine how advanced you are with it and why you want to learn it, and to what level. From there, you set a daily study goal. Premium costs about $6 per month for a year.LiricaIf you listen to any song enough, you'll learn all the words through repetition, even if they're in a different language. But how do you figure out what they mean? This is where Lirica comes in. This app is unique in how it approaches teaching Spanish. Instead of traditional teaching methods for learning a language, Lirica uses popular music by Latin artists to help you learn the Spanish language and grammar. Lirica has a one-week free trial and then it's about $4 per month.1. Which app is best for learning multiple languages at a time?A. Lirica.B. Busuu.C. Memrise.D. Duolingo.2. How much should you pay for a quarterly subscription to Memrise Pro?A. $9.B. $19.C. $28.D. $30.3. What is special about Lirica?A. It offers a one-month free trial.B. It helps users set a daily study goal.C. It hires Latin artists to teach Spanish.D. It enables users to learn Spanish through music.BThe regular world presented to us by our five senses — you could call it reality 1.0 — is not always the most user-friendly. We get lost in unfamiliar cities; we meet people whose language we don’t understand. So why not try the improved version: augmented reality(AR)or reality 2.0 ? AR technology adds computer-produced images on the real world via a mobile phone camera or special video glasses.Early forms of AR are already here — smart phones can deliver information about nearby ATMs and restaurants and other points of interest. But that’s just the beginning. A few years from now the quantity of information available will have increased hugely. You will not only see that there’s a Chinese restaurant on the next block, but you will be able to see the menu and read reviews of it.This is where the next revolution in computing will take place: in the interface(界面)between the real world and the information brought to us via the Internet. Imagine bubbles floating before your eyes, filled with cool information about anything and everything that you see in front of you.Let’s jump ahead to ten years from now. A person trying to fix a car won’t be reading a book with pictures; he will be wearing a device that projects animated 3D computer graphics onto the equipment under repair, labelling parts and giving step-by-step guidance.The window onto the AR world can be a smart phone or special video glasses. But in ten years’ time these will have been replaced by contact lenses(隐形眼镜) with tiny LEDs, which present something at a readable distance in front of eyes. So a deaf person wearing these lenses will be able to see what people are saying.The question is, while we are all absorbed in our new augmented reality world, how willwe be communicating with each other?4. What is the text mainly about?A. The relationship between reality 1.0 and reality 2.0.B. Different forms of the AR technology.C. The next information technology revolution.D. The popularity of the AR technology.5. Which of the following will AR technology support according to the text?A. To pay for things online conveniently.B. To play online games merrily.C. To offer information efficiently.D. To communicate with others socially.6. What are Contact lenses with tiny LEDs used for?A. Show texts and images.B. Protect people’s eyes.C. Help deaf people communicate.D. Replace smart phone.7. What’s the author’s attitude towards the AR technology?A. Indifferent.B. Critical.C. Concerned.D. Favourable.CCuckoos don’t bother building their own nests—they just lay eggs that perfectly imitate those of other birds and take over their nests. But other birds are wishing up, evolving some seriously impressive tricks to spot the cuckoo eggs.Cuckoos are often know asparasites, meaning that they hide their eggs in the nest of other species. To avoid detection, the cuckoos have evolved so that eggs seem reproduction of those of their preferred targets. If the host bird doesn’t notice the strange egg in its nest, the little cuckoo will actually take the entire nest for itself after it comes out, taking the other eggs on its back and dropping them out of the nest.To avoid this unpleasant fate for their young, the other birds have evolved a few smart ways to spot the fakes, which we’re only now beginning to fully understand. One of the most amazing finds is that birds have an extra colour-sensitive cell in their eyes, which makes them far more sensitive to ultraviolet wavelengths and allows them to see a far greater range of colours than humans can. This allows cautious birds to detect a fake egg which might be exactly the same to our eyes.Fascinatingly, we’re actually able to observe different bird species at very different points in their evolutionary war with the cuckoos. For instance, some cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of the redstarts. The blue eggs these cuckoos lay are practically alike to those of the redstarts, and yet they are still sometimes rejected. Compare that with cuckoos who target dunnocks. While those birds lay perfectly blue eggs, their cuckoo invaders just lay white eggs with brown irregular shaped spots. And yet dunnocks barely ever seem to notice the obvious trick.Biologists suspect these more easily fooled species like the dunnocks are on the same evolutionary path as the redstarts, but they have a long way to go until they evolve the same levels of suspicion. What’s remarkable isthat the dunnocks fakes are so bad and the redstart ones so good, and yet cuckoos are still more successful with the former than the latter.It speaks to just how thoroughly a species’ behavior can be changed by the pressures of natural selection, or it might just be a bit of strategic cooperation on the part of the dunnocks. Biologists have suggested that these birds are willing to tolerate a parasite every so often because they don’t want to risk accidentally getting rid of one of their own eggs.8. This passage can be most likely found in a ________.A. science surveyB. nature magazineC. zoo advertisementD. travel journal9. What does the underlined word “parasite” in paragraph 2 most probably refer to?A. Animals that work together to raise young.B. Small harmful animals such as worms or mice.C. Animals that can adapt to changing environments.D. Animals which live on or inside other host animals.10. Which of the following is TRUE about the dunnock according to the passage?A. It is colour-blind and therefore cannot identify foreign eggs in the nest.B. It can easily remove cuckoo eggs from the nest because fakes are so bad.C. It is a host bird that is more likely to raise a cuckoo chick than the redstart.D. It is unable to evolve and hence accepts cuckoo eggs that appear in the nest.11. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Dunnocks may eventually learn to recognise foreign eggs.B. Redstarts seem to be less suspicious compared to dunnocks.C. Cuckoo birds are good at taking responsibility for their own young.D. It is very easy for cuckoos to imitate the colouring of the dunnock’s egg.DHumans are the only creature that gets around by standing up and putting one foot in front of the other. Our ability to walk upright has allowed humankind to travel great distances and survive changing climates, environments and landscapes.Countless scientific studies have found that walking is really good for us and this simple act can provide a number of healthimplications, which help people live longer. In fact, a walking routine, if done properly, might bethe only exercise people need.How much walking should one aim for? You’ve likely heard we need 10,000 steps a day. That’s about 5 miles. But contrary to popular belief, this recommendation doesn’t come from science. Instead, itis from a 1960s advertising campaign to promote a pedometer (计步器) in Japan. Perhaps because it’s a round number and easy to remember, it stuck.Since the 1960s, researchers have studied the 10,000-steps-a-day standard and have turned up mixed results. Although 10,000 steps is certainly a healthy and worthwhile goal, it’s not fit for all.For instance, a recent Harvard University study involving more than 16,000 senior women found that those who got at least 4,400 steps a day greatly reduced their risk of dying early when compared with less active women. The study also noted that these benefits continued up to 7,500 steps. This 7,500 mark isn’t surprising: It’s similar to common public health recommendations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) physical activity a week for adults.12. What does the underlined word “implications” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. BenefitsB. Problems.C. Habits.D. Manners.13. Where does the 10,000-steps-a-day standard come from?A. A Harvard University study.B. Science research on health.C. A pedometer advertisement.D. Public health recommendation.14. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. 7,500-steps-a-day standard is the best choice for all.B. More than 16,000 old people were involved in the study.C. Those who walk at least 4,400 steps a day won’t die early.D. 150-minute moderate exercise a week for adults is advised.15. What does the author mainly want to tell readers?A. The more you walk a day, the healthier you will be.B. We can benefit from continuous and proper walking.C. Walking upright helps humankind to explore the world.D. Advertisements can always tell us some scientific suggestions .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。

材料一:徽墨是“文房四宝”之一,因产于徽州而得名。
在徽州地区独特的自然资源和丰富的文化资源双重滋养下,带着鲜明徽州印记的徽墨在墨林中独树一帜,成为中国墨的唯一代表。
1915年,徽墨珍品——地球墨在巴拿马万国博览会上荣获金质奖章。
近现代以来,受到社会文化的变迁以及书写习惯的改变等影响,徽州墨业几经浮沉,但在一代代徽墨传承者的努力下,千古墨脉从未断绝。
徽州地区的制墨史最早有文献记载:“南唐李廷珪,易水人,本姓美,父超,唐末渡江至歉,以邑多松,留居造墨。
后主赐姓李。
人得其墨而藏者不下五六十年,胶败而墨调,其坚如玉,其文如犀,写数十幅不费一二分。
”五代时期,南唐的李姓皇帝耽心翰墨,对癸氏父子制墨倍加称赏,后又招易水墨工张遇,张遇利用徽州的优质松烟、桐油烟制墨,将徽州墨从单纯的松烟墨推向与油烟墨并举发展的时期,全国制墨中心至此南移至徽州。
穆晓天先生曾说:“制墨业的繁荣,可以说是南唐地区文化艺术繁荣的显著标志。
”随着李唐王朝渐行渐远,大宋王朝经过初期的休养生息,经济快速发展,商业逐渐活跃,文学艺术活动日益繁荣,科举制度影响下的读书风气日盛,为徽墨提供了广阔市场,徽墨业得以蓬勃发展。
正如《野获篇》所描写:“今徽人家传户习”“新安人例工制墨”。
《歙(she)县志》记载:“至宋时,徽州每年以龙凤墨千斤为贡。
”可见大宋政权对徽墨有着强劲的需求。

2021-2022年高三9月开学摸底考英语试题含答案I. Listening prehension (30%)II. Grammar and Vocabulary (26%)We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. Both of them (25)__________(dress) them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was (26)__________(join) Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang.The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of guests. Each of the (27)__________ made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big "to do" over the younger one because she's the one (28)__________ seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions. But it is we parents (29)__________ seldom think of how it might affect the other child.I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined.I was about to serve dinner (30)__________ I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom,(31)__________(cry). I said, "What are you doing, mydear?" She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mommy, why don't people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I'm not pretty? Is that (32)_________ they don't say nice things about me as much?" I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel (33)__________(good). Now, (34)__________ I visit a friend's home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.(B)Increasing dependence on iPads, puters and smartphones has left many young people with an eye problem that usually affects those much older.Millions are developing ‘dry eye’, a condition that results in gritty, itchy, inflamed(发炎的) eyes, (35) __________ __________ hours staring at a screen.When we use such devices, the mind focuses so strongly on the screen we(36)__________ can ‘forget’ to blink, according to dry eye specialist Dr Christine Purslow. This can affect the eye’s lubrication system, she said.We normally blink 12-15 times a minute, but using a puter screen (37)__________ cut this to seven or eight a minute. This leaves the tearfilm – the lubricating substance that protects the surface of the eye – not working properly.About 30 per cent of those over 50 have dry eye but numbers are rising, with many more young people (38)__________(affect).Younger people (39)__________(experience) problem nowadays because of the modern office, with puters and air-conditioners making it worse,as well as home use of display screens.‘As (40)__________ nation we are getting older, which means the proportion suffering age-related dry eye is increasing,’ Dr Purslow said.Section BModern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazing. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, __41__cross the world inside a day, while puters operate at __42__ speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go evenfaster and each new puter boasts of saving __43__ seconds in handling tasks.All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the __44__ feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, speeding too long at puters results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists; too much use may send harmful radiation into our brains, a __45__ we do not like to think about.However , what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to __46__ activities that we find it difficulty to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the __47__ of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might __48__ a way of life like this. Yet before we doso, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they __49__ with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern __50__ has freed people from that primitive(原古的)existence.III. Reading prehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage the re are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It’s believed that intelligent people are better at lear ning languages. Most language learning skills, __51__, are ha bits, which can be formed through a bit of discipline and self-awareness. But, some of them are not good enough. Here are the three most mon __52__ language learners make and how to correct them.Not listening enoughThere’s a school of language-teaching experts that believe language learning __53__ a ―silent period‖.Just as babi es learn to produce language by hearing and parroting sounds , language learners need to practise listening in order to learn. This can develop learned vocabulary and structures, an d help learners see patterns in language.Listening is the municative skill we use most in daily life, but it can be __54__ to practise unless you live in a foreign country or attend language classes. The solution? Find music, podcasts, TV shows and movies in the __55__ l anguage, and listen, listen, listen, as often as possible.A single methodSome learners are most fortable with the listen-and-repeat drills of a language lab. Some need a grammar textbook to __56__ a foreign tongue. Each of these approaches is fine, but it’s a mistake to rely on only one. Language learner s who use __57__ methods get to practise different skills a nd see concepts explained in different ways. What’s more, the __58__ can keep them from working in a situation that n ever changes. When choosing a class, learners should seek a course that __59__ the four language skills (reading, writi ng, listening and speaking). For self-study, try a __60__ of textbooks, audio lessons, and language learning apps.__61__It doesn’t matter how well a person can write in foreign script, or finish a vocabulary test. To learn, improve, and truly use our language, we need to speak. This is the stage when language students should calm down, and feelings of __62__ or insecurity hinder(阻碍)all their hard work. In Eastern cultures where saving face is a strong social value, EFL teachers often plain that students, despite years of studying English, simply will not speak it. They’re too __63__ making mistakes of the grammar or mispronouncing words in a way that would __64__ them.The key is that those mistakes help language learners by showing them the limits of language, and correcting errors __65__ they bee deep-rooted. The more learners speak and practise, the more quickly they improve.51. A. however B. moreover C. furthermore D.therefore52. A. successes B. wonders C. mistakes D. contributions53.

A. if B. before C. in case D. sothat Section BDirections: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or furnished 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)Winter is a great time to experiment with new sports. The key is to find one that matches your interests and natural abilities. If you like to walk, keep walking-on snowshoes. If you want to try an endurance sport, go for cross-country skiing. Besides, snowboarding is just great fun.Not satisfied with these? Try downhill skiing, then. Downhill skiing is not as hard as it used to be ― shorter, lightweight, curved skis make any beginner feel like an Olympic winner. These newer skis ― along with another type of equipment called skiboards, which are even shorter than s kis ― help you control your speed and body movements.Consider testing the latest high-tech skis or snowboards?Check with your local sports shops or the rental places at the ski mountains aboutsample programs.You could also try sledding. Use a wood-framed sled with steel runners or a plastic sled to head down a snowy hill. If you prefer ice to snow, think hockey or figure skating.Runners can also train during the winter in spite of wet or slippery roads. One of the easiest sports around, snowshoeing can be excellent cold-weather cross-training for runners and cyclists ― or anyone wanting to take a wintry walk in the woods. Snowshoes are smaller, lighter, and better than ever. If you want to try them out, you may be able to rent a pair for a day at many of the larger outdoor or sporting goods stores.Whatever sport you choose, don’t rely on a friend for instruction. You wouldn’t let an inexperienced doctor perform a brain operation on you, but why let one teach you to ski or skate? That’s what instructors a re for ― to help newers start out right. Instructors can give you advice about equipment, techniques, safety, and dealing with injuries if they do happen to you.Above all, if you want to progress, invest your time in learning the basic skills thoroughly. Everything else you do as a skier, boarder, orskater will be built on these first skills.66. How many different types of sports are mentioned in the first two paragraphs?A. Six.B. Five.C. Four.D. Three.68. What can we learn from the passage?A. Runners and cyclists cannot train because of the wet or slippery roads in winter.B. Downhill skiing used to be more difficult to learn because of the old-fashioned skis.C. People can rent snowshoes for a day at their local sports shops or the rental places.D. In general, first skills are more important in skiing than in snowboarding or skating.69. What does the sentence “You wouldn’t let an inexperienced doctor perform a brain operation on you, but why let one teach you to ski or skate?” imply?A. Don’t let an inexperienced doctor perform an operation on you when injured.B. You may have a brain operation if you ski or skate with a newer.C. Instructors can give better advice on skiing and skating than your friends do.D. It’s dangerous to have an inexpert person teach you to ski or skate.70.Who are the most likely readers of the passage?A. High school students.B. Physical educators.C. Winter sports lovers.D. Professional athletes(B)New Zealand Education~ pulsory Educationpulsory education starts at age and ends at age 16.The day children turn 5,they are expected to start school. They can leave school as soon as they reach 16.~ Class SizeThe maximum number of students in a class is 30 students.~ ClassroomsStudents from year 0—8 stay in the same classroom for most subjects and move to other classrooms only for specific subjects. Even when theymove from one classroom to another, they mostly stay together as a class.In year 9, students take some courses with their homeroom class and someoptional classes with students from different classes. Starting from year10, students no longer stay in the same classroom most of the time nordo they move around with their classes. They go to different classes basedon their own choice and abilities.~ Term DatesA school year starts in January and ends in December. There are fourterms in a year. Each term is about 10 weeks. ~ Class Schedule School starts at around 8:30 and ends at 15:15. There are only five periodsa day and a period is about an hour long. In the morning, around 10:30,there will be a 20—30 minute interval when students and staff have morningtea. Students usually have some snacks during this time, and staff gathersin the staff room to drink coffee and eat some snacks. There is a lunchperiod at around 12:40 for about an hour.~ TeachersIn New Zealand, teachers have to teach students of different year levelat the same time. Most teachers teach students from at least three to four different year levels. In addition, quite a number of teachers teach more than one subject. This is mainly due to the fact that many courses are optional.70. This passage is most probably taken from _____.A. an educational bookletB. a school websiteC. a traveling guideD.an academic report71. When you are in your 10th school year, you may _____.A. stay with your classmates in the same classroom for all the subjectsB. choose and take some optional courses with your homeroom classC. have both required and optional classes with the same classmatesD. choose different classes based on your own choice and abilities72.

Students have a 20—30 minute interval between each period in New ZealandD. Most teachers in New Zealand teach one subject for at least threeto four years.(C)Will young people in the future get the same kind of higher education as they do today?Perhaps no Bill Gates, for one, thinks the idea of a college education is on the way out.“Five years from now on the Web of free you’ll be able to find the best lectures in the world, said the 55-year-old Microsoft chairman at the Techonomy conference in california.
