B．TIME For Kids.C．Weekly Reader. D．Highlights.23．What can we infer about the magazines mentioned in the text?A．They are accessible through the Internet. B．They are arranged around grades.C．They are interactive with story-telling. D．They are encouraged by teachers.BI'd like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn't understand it. I didn't like him anymore.I hadn't thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh words. When the door was slammed (砰地关上) in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal.Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend's wife had just left him.We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can't be understood by those who arenot in the same situation with you.If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn't seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.24．What is the influence of the incident mentioned in Paragraph 1 ?A．It hurt his father's feeling deeply. B．It has puzzled the author ever since.C．It left a deep impression on the author. D．It made the author dislike dogs.25．What made he author think of the story of about 20 years ago?A．His friend's attitude. B．The photo of the dog.C．His father's wound. D．His friend's suffering. 26．Why did the author's friend say harsh words to the author?A．He was ill-tempered.B．He was suffering the pain of losing his wife.C．He was bothered by an unexpected visit.D．They once quarreled and he couldn't forgive the author.27．What's the author's advice to us?A．Help those in need. B．Look before you leap.C．Respect for others is a kind of virtue. D．Learn to put yourself in others' shoes.CChinese audiences seemed not to have been satisfied with the third season of the highly anticipated food documentary A Bite of China.Even though the series has maintained high viewership ratings since its comeback last week, much higher than other programs aired at the same time, the ranking on Douban, a social networking website featuring films, literature and events, slippedto 4.2 out of 10, as of Tuesday, compared with 9.3 and 8.4, respectively, for the first two seasons.Picky viewers complain that some of the narration is not accurate, while others pinpoint misleading content. At the same time, food blogger @barbara questioned whether it is appropriate to give a close-up shot of the poisonous plant Nandina (南天竺) in a food program.A Bite of China, which debuted in 2012, became hugely popular nationwide for its quality introduction of some rarely-known and mouth-watering domestic cuisine. In the new show, however, watchers are not satisfied with "irrelevant" food references, such as lipsticks made of Chinese traditional medicine and martial arts master. The first episode introduced a hand-made iron frying pan from east China's Shandong province, which prompted thousands of Chinese Internet users to buy one from China's leading e-commerce website Tmall in the next few days. Sales of the pan at "Zhensanhuan" surged 6,000 times compared with a year ago, according to Beijing Youth Daily.In response to overwhelming criticism and questions, A Bite of China production crew responded on Weibo that they seek innovation despite the risks following the first two phenomenal seasons."It is unavoidable to make comparisons with the first two, and some audiences may not accept the changes," the crew said. "We explore the culture and civilization behind food, and give food a historic touch. That's why we feature culinary (烹饪的) tools，feast and rituals，as well as a healthy diet to show Chinese wisdom and philosophy，which has not been shown in any food programs before."28．Why does the passage mention Nandina?A．Because some of the narration is not accurate.B．Because it may be improper to give a close-up shot of a poisonous plant. C．Because it is misleading content.D．Because it is not attractive at all to most picky viewers.29．Which of the following elements leads to viewers' dissatisfaction with the new show?A．some mouth-watering domestic cuisinesB．food-unrelated itemsC．some rarely-known cuisinesD．the increasing sales of the pan at "Zhensanhuan"30．According to its production crew, what is unique to 'A Bite of China III'?A．It makes comparisons with the first two episodes.B．It tells the story of some martial arts related to food.C．It receives overwhelming criticism and questions from audience.D．It focuses on cooking tools, rituals and healthy eating.31．What is the best the title for the passage?A．A Bite of China III' Draws Criticism from AudiencesB．A Bite of China III' Maintains High Viewership RatingsC．A Bite of China III' Changes for the WorseD．A Bite of China III' Explains its PurposesDScientists have found living organisms trapped in crystals (晶体) that could be 50,000 years old.The organisms were found in a hot, but beautiful cave system in Naica, Mexico. These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope. Penelope Boston, who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA, the space agency of the United States, says the ancient microbes were able to live by eating minerals such as iron.She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area. The genetic structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives.The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. They were once used for mining lead. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was separated from the surfaceand the outside world. Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe's Middle Ages. There are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs (病菌) or other damage. Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts before last week's announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan，a biologist with the University of South Florida, said she believed them. "Why are we surprised?" Noonan asked. "As a biologist，I would say life on earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful."Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in other countries，such as Ukraine and the United States. These microbes appear to be impossible to kill. Boston said they show how difficult life on earth can be.32．The existence of the ancient microbes relies on ．A．surrounding insects B．eating mineralsC．diverse plants D．absorbing air33．What can we infer about the caves in Naica from the passage?A．The walls were built during Middle Ages.B．The temperature in the caves is quite low.C．The environment in the caves is difficult to adapt to.D．The caves have been explored since they were formed.34．What is the biologist Norine Noonan's attitude towards the findings?A．Neutral. B．Doubtful. C．Positive.D．Indifferent.35．What's the main idea of the passage?A．Living organisms bring hope to scientific research.B．Caves provide living environment for living organisms.C．Microbes show great power to survive in terrible conditions.D．Scientists discover 50,000-year-old "super life" in Mexico.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。

英语_2018年陕西省高考英语四模试卷含答案

2018年陕西省高考英语四模试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，20小题，每题2分）第一节：阅读下列四篇短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．1. Black Bear MisunderstandingsHere, FWC （Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission） shows some common misunderstandings about Florida black bears in an effort to increase popular understanding of Florida's largest land mammal．Myth #1: Feeding black bears that wander into your yard helps the bears．The feeding of bears, raccoons, and foxes is against the Florida law． Bears are opportunistic feeders and will remember where to; find easy food and return to the location． If they continue to gain access to human provided foods, they can become food conditioned and habituated． Bears that begin to exhibit those behaviors can become a public safety risk and possibly be killed by wildlife officials． Remember "________" If a bear is seen in your yard, increase their natural fear of humans by making loud noises from a secure location．Myth #2: Black bears are strict carnivores （食肉动物）．While the bear family is part of the Order （目） Carnivora, the Florida black bear is described as an omnivore （杂食动物）, eating a diet made up of 80% vegetation, 16% insects, and 4% meat． Bears will rarely try to chase down a large animal, such as an adult deer, for a meal, because it will result in a loss of energy ﹣ a lot of energy used trying to catch the animal with very little chance of a successful catch, thus no energy gained．Myth #3: It's best to run away or climb a tree to escape a black bear．Black bears have curved toe nails, naturally making them great climbers． They will commonly climb trees or send their babies up a tree to escape an obvious danger． Nut bearing trees, like oaks, are common places to find black bears feeding in the fall． Black bears can run up to 30mph． Running from any wild animal can also cause a chase instinct, so it is best to back away slowly and find a secure location, like a vehicle or building．（1）． How can we explain the underlined sentence "A fed bear is a dead bear"？________A Bears who are fed have a sense of insecurity．B Bears who visit humans may be seen as threats．C Bears are usually killed by those who feed them．D Bears who arefed have a slower running speed．（2）． Why don't bears chase large animals？________A They are aware of the success rate．B They have no interest in theirmeat． C They are saving energy to catch insects． D They're afraid of being targeted by some other animals．（3）． What can be learned about black bear？________A They are fond of nuts．B They have straight toe nails．C They get along wellwith deer． D They have no fears of loud noises．2. Shortly after World War II, a Dutch art dealer Was arrested for secret selling paintingsby Vermeer （1632﹣1675）to the Nazis who invaded Holland during the war becauseVermeer is considered to be one of Hollan45s best painters, the dealer was charged with selling national treasures to the enemy． To avoid the punishment for this serious crime, he admitted that the paintings forgeries, （伪造品）, or fakes ﹣ he had painted them himself and fooled the art world and the Nazis． Today, experts agree that the forgeries do not look like Vermeer's Other works． Why, then, did the art world accept the fakes as real?One reason why they were accepted was that the forgeries actually looked different than Vermeer's other works． The dealer had claimed that the forgeries were from an unknown period early in Vermeer's art career． Because painters' styles often change, throughout their careers, art historians at the time did not expect the "new discoveries" to look exactly like the known works of Vermeer． In fact, because they did not look similar to the known works, experts did not bother to look at them carefully． This is because experts expect a forger to copy famous paintings as closely as possible． Once the art dealer's first forgeries were expected as real, he was free to make more． The others closely matched the first paintings in style, so they were also expected as real Vermeer paintings from the same early period．Another reason experts were fooled is what some historians call The Emperor's New Clothes effect． In Hans Christian Andersen's story, The Emperor's New Clothes, two criminals convince an emperor that he is wearing beautiful clothes, when he is actually naked． No one in the empire wants to admit that they cannot see the clothes because they believe the clothes are magic an4that only good people can see them． Similarly, the art world was influenced by a famous art historian, Wilhelm von Bode, who said the forgeries were some of Vermeer's best works． Because von Bode was highly respected, other experts began praising the "new discoveries．" At the time, this made it difficult to criticize the paintings or suggest that they were fakes．（1）． Why did the art dealer admit that he had forged paintings？________A He wanted to anger the Nazis．B He felt bad about what he had done．C He wanted to escape heavy punishment．D He wanted to prove he was a good painter．（2）． Why didn't experts expect the forgeries to look like Vermeer's known works？________A Painters' styles vary during their careers．B Painters often create forgeries to fool experts!．C The experts didn't carefully examine the paintings．D The paintings looked similar to Vermeer's early works．（3）． Why does the author mention the story The Emperor's New Clothes？________A To give an example of a forgery in the literary world．B To explain how experts were fooled by the forgeries．C To suggest that Vermeer was the emperor of the art world．D To compare the works of Vermeer with those of Andersen．（4）． What is the best title for the text？________A The Nazi invasion of Holland in WWII．B The paintings of Vermeer's early period．C How von Bode influenced the art world．D How some forgeries fooled the art world．3. For many years doctors have' warned us about the dangers of stress and have given us advice about how to cut down our stress levels． Everyone agrees that long﹣term stress, for example having to look after someone who has a chronic illness, or stressful situations where there is nothing we can do, for example being stuck in a traffic jam, should be avoided whenever possible． However, some medical experts now believe that certain kinds of stress may actually be good for us．Dr Marios Kyriazis, an anti﹣ageing expert, points out that what he． calls "good stress" is beneficial to our health and may, in fact, help us stay young and attractive and even live longer, Dr Kyriazis says that "good stress" can strengthen our natural defences which protect us from illnesses common among older people, such as Alzheimer's and heart problems． According to Dr Kyriazis, running for a bus or having to work to meet a deadline are examples of "good stress", which are situations with short﹣term or low stress． The stress usually makes us react quickly, and gives us a sense of achievement ﹣ we did it! However, in both situations, the stress damages the cells in our body or brain and they start to break down． But then the cells' own repair mechanism "switches on" and it produces proteins which repair the damaged cells and remove harmful chemicals that can gradually cause disease． In fact, the body's response is greater than is needed to repair the damage; so________ actually makes the cells Stronger than they were before．"As the body gets older, this self﹣repair mechanism of the cells starts to slow down, " says Dr Kyriazis． "The best way to keep the process working efficiently is to ‘exercise' it, in the same way you would exercise your muscles to keep them strong． This means having a certain amount of stress in our lives．" Other stressful activities that Kyriazis suggests as feeing good stress include redecorating a room in your house over the weekend, packing your suitcase in a hurry to reach the airport on time, or shopping for a dinner party during your lunch break．So next time your boss tells you that she wants to see die report finished and on her desk in 45 minutes, don't worry; just think of it as "good stress" which will benefit your long﹣term health!（28）A． The benefits of doing physical exercise．B． The relationship between stress and health/C． How to get a sense of achievement．D． How to cut down our stress levels．（29）A． The daily stress．B． Long﹣term stress．C． The increasing stress．D． Short﹣term or low stress．（30）A． Being stuck in a traffic jam．B． Being late for work for several daysC． Packing for a trip at the last minute．D． Looking after a patient with heart trouble．（31）A． Stress beats success．B． Stress attracts illness．C． Get stressed, stay young．D． Less stress, better health．For many years doctors have' warned us about the dangers of stress and have given us advice about how to cut down our stress levels． Everyone agrees that long﹣term stress，for example having to look after someone who has a chronic illness， or stressful situations where there is nothing we can do， for example being stuck in a traffic jam， should be avoided whenever possible． However， some medical experts now believe that certain kinds of stress may actually be good for us．Dr Marios Kyriazis， an anti﹣ageing expert， points out that what he． calls "good stress" is beneficial to our health and may， in fact， help us stay young and attractive and even live longer， Dr Kyriazis says that "good stress" can strengthen our natural defences which protect us from illnesses common among older people， such as Alzheimer's and heart problems．According to Dr Kyriazis， running for a bus or having to work to meet a deadline are examples of "good stress"， which are situations with short﹣term or low stress． The stress usually makes us react quickly， and gives us a sense of achievement ﹣ we did it!

People in 29 states can legally use marijuana （大麻） for a variety ofproblems, including the relief of pain, anxiety or stress． But what if they want to travel with it?Secure airport areas beyond the Transportation Security Administration （TSA）checkpoints are under federal control and the federal government classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 （most harmful） substance, even in states where it is legal for adults to consume it．The laws conflict, but federal law ________ state law, making it illegal to fly with marijuana in carry﹣on or checked luggage． It is also illegal to transport marijuana across state lines, even if both states have legalized it．Still, some passengers, especially, on domestic flights, take the risk, because searching for marijuana is not on the TSA's to﹣do list． "The agency focuses on terrorism and security threats to the aircraft and its passengers, " a spokesman, Brace Anderson, said． "Airport screeners are looking for things that can take down an airplane, like guns or explosive, not marijuana, " he said． "But if screeners do notice marijuana in someone's carry﹣on or checked luggage, " Mr． Anderson said, "they will call in local airport law enforcement officials to deal with it．"Of the 54 million passengers who went through Denver International Airport in 2015, the TSA stopped just 29 for possession of marijuana, " an airport spokesman, Heath Montgomery, said． In those cases, ．as long as the amount was legal for personal possession in Colorado ﹣ one ounce of dried flower, for example ﹣ the local police simply asked the flier to dispose of it, either by throwing it in the trash or taking it home． All 29 obeyed, and no tickets were issued．Local airport authorities handle the situation differently in different states． In Florida where medical marijuana is legal but recreational use is not, few are stopped for possession in the airport, but, they do face penalties． "Eleven of the approximately 2.8 million passengers who were screened by the TSA at Jacksonville International Airport in 2016 were detained for possession of marijuana, " said Michael D． Stewart, the airport's director of external affairs． "All were arrested or given a notice to appear in court, " he said．（1）． Which of the following can replace the underlined word "tramps" in paragraph 3？________A Beats．B Respects．C Observers．D Explains．（2）． Which of the following is on the TSA's to﹣do list？________A To classify marijuana．B To spot items likely to blow up．C To search language for marijuana．D To legalize the transport jof marijuana．（3）． What happened in Denver International Airport in 2015？________A 29passengers in all were detained by the TSA．B It received an increasing number of security threats．C Lots of passengers with marijuana passed thecheckpoints． D No passengers were punished for possession of marijuana．（4）． What do we know about the law in Florida？________A It is the same as the law in Colorado．B Patients won't be screened by theTSA． C Marijuana can't be used for entertainment． D Doctors giving patients marijuana face penalties．第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能瑱入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项．5.Time is on your sideHow frequently do you say "I don't have time"？ Quite often， I guess． Every time we say those words， they make us feel weak and out of control． You are in control of your hours and your life．（1）_______________I know it's not as easy as simply turning off the TV． But here are two steps that will help you take back control and get time on your side．★（2）_______Be honest： do you spend an hour or two visiting Weixin and QQ every day？ Are you spending time with people that you don't really like just to please them？ Are there meetings you attend that you can politely to refuse？It's time to get real about the hours that add up to a lot of dissatisfying nothing． Think how you can cancel daily activities that are not useful．（3）_______★ Change your language．Words matter． They have power． Saying "I don't have time" is an excuse for not wanting to do something． Here are some good empowering alternatives："I choose not to start that project until next year．""（4）_______""I'd love to go out this weekend but have important work I need to do first．"Get better at saying no．（5）_______ Use little pockets of time （friend running late， car stuck in traffic， meeting ending 10 minutes early） to do some productive thinking． All these things can add up over time more than you believe!A． Identity your blocks．B． But you are likely wasting a lot of it!C． I really don't have enough time to do it．D． Replace them with things that satisfy you．E． Take no notice of all those unimportant messages on your phone．F． I'd love to read that book ﹣ I'll get to it after my homework is complete!G． When you don't have a plan for your life， someone else will plan it for you．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（每小题1.5分，满分30分）6.

陕西省2023届高三下学期第四次模拟考试英语试卷(含答案)

陕西省2023届高三下学期第四次模拟考试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解For high school students, just thinking about your career probably isn’t enough. You have to actively do some research and plan. Here are some of the best careers for the future and how you can get your foot in the door.Registered NursesTo become registered nurses, you’re going to need either an associate degree in nursing, a Bachelor of Science in nursing, or another officially approved diploma(文凭) from a nursing program. If you want to be a practicing physician, you’ll need a medical degree in your chosen field on top of your four-year degree.Data AnalystsBig data is a growing field with profitable opportunities for college graduates. You are required to have a masters degree in computer science or another related field. Data science is a traditionally male-dominated industry and only 26 percent are held by women. Thankfully, it is holding out an olive branch to females and there are some terrific programs specially designed for them to break into this dynamic field.Plumbers (管道工) and ElectriciansNot all of the best careers for the future will require a four-year undergraduate degree. There's a serious demand for skilled positions jobs like plumbers and technicians. Many of these positions require a high school degree and often an associate degree in a related field, but don^ necessarily require graduation from a four-year university.Cybersecurity (网络安全) ExpertsThe average salaries for cybersecurity experts can start at $80,000 for IT Security Consultants and can reach six figures for other positions such as a security director. The best way to start your path in cybersecurity is with a bachelor^ degree in computer science, information technology, engineering, or other related fields.1、In which job will the gender distribution probably be more balanced?A. Data Analysts.B. Registered Nurses.C. Cybersecurity Experts.D. Plumbers and Electricians.2、To be a cybersecurity expert, which is the basic requirement?A.A master’s degree in computer science.B.A certificate of high school graduation.C.A bachelors degree in information technology.D.A diploma officially approved from a medical program.3、Where is the text probably taken from?A. A health lecture.B. A school website.C. A job advertisement.D. A science magazine.Tea was first discovered and drunk in China. As the hometown of tea, China has a long history of processing and drinking tea. Today, China accounts for 60% of tea plantations in the world. A great number of tea gardens are in more than 20 provinces throughout the country.For a long time, tea was used as herbal medicine. During the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC—771 BC), it was a religious offering. The earliest record about tea as a drink appeared in the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC—9), which indicates the actual time may be earlier than that. Chinese tea culture prospered during the Tang Dynasty (618—907) because of a famous person, Lu Yu, Tea Sage of China. The Tea Classics written by him is a tea encyclopedia, detailing rules concerning various aspects of tea, such as growth areas for tea trees, wares and skills for processing and tasting of tea, and the history of Chinese tea. Also, in this period, tea seeds were taken to Japan but the tea culture didn’t spread in Japan until the South Song Dynasty (1127—1279). In the Song Dynasty, Arabic merchants exported tea from Quanzhou, Fujian Province. Tea was sold to Southeast Asian and South African countries in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644). In 1610, it went to Europe via Macau in a Dutch merchant ship. Thus it became an international drink.For Chinese people, it is not only a popular beverage with a lot of health benefits, but also keeps a central piece of Chinese traditional culture. Tea and tea sets should match surrounding elements such as breeze, bright moon, pines, bamboo, plums and snow. All these show the ultimate goal of Chinese culture: the harmonious unity of human beings with nature. Chinese tea can be classified in many ways, such as quality, producing area, growth environment and processing method. The most common classification of Chinese tea is: the basic tea and the reprocessing tea.4、In what order does the writer describe Paragraph Two?A. In order of time.B. In order of number.C. In order of location.D. In order of importance.5、According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?A. China has lots of tea gardens in 20 provinces.B. Tea was shipped to Europe in the 16th century.C. Tea might be used as a drink in the Qin Dynasty.D. Japan got the tea seeds in the South Song Dynasty.6、What should be the best title for the passage?A. The Popularity of China TeaB. The Introduction to China TeaC. The Diversity of China TeaD. The Benefit of Drinking China Tea7、What will the passage tell us next about Chinese Tea?A. The productive amounts.B. The significant influences.C. The chemical components.D. The detailed classifications.What if instead of clicking on link after link on a company’s website, you could type a question and get an immediate, customized(定制的) answer? Some companies are working to make this a reality using chatbots, which are computer programs that can communicate with human beings by phone, on messaging apps or on websites.Chatbots can look up information, answer frequently asked questions and collect information from users. They can be used to manage payments for online purchases, to help users decide what they want to purchase and to schedule and manage appointments.There are two types of chatbots: open and closed. A closed chatbot follows a script, which may or may not involve using AI to understand users’ messages. An open chatbot uses AI both to understand what users want and to generate responses. Open chatbots are able to learn from their conversations and thus improve their ability to communicate over time. Having a conversation with them feels more natural, but if they have not been correctly trained, users may have a bad experience with them.One significant advantage of chatbots is that they are available all the time, even in the middle of the night. Plus, a single chatbot can serve multiple users at once. Chatbots have the potential to overcome several technological hurdles people face with ease. These include difficulty in navigating websites and trouble finding basic information and answers to simple questions.However, in order for chatbots to work, humans are still indispensable (必不可少的). Someone has to program the chatbots at the very beginning, train them, and maintain and optimize the chatbot system. Further, even open chatbots may not have the answers to detailed questions, and many people simply prefer speaking to a human rather than a chatbot.Thus, chatbots are unlikely to completely replace human agents. Rather, they will help users solve simple problems so that customer service representatives can focus on more difficult issues.Chatbots have some limitations, but they are already revolutionizing the way customers interact with businesses and will continue to do so.8、What is Paragraph Two mainly about?A. The system of chatbots.B. The function of chatbots.C. The definition of chatbots.D. The management of chatbots.9、What does the underlined word “hurdles” mean in Paragraph Four?A. Phenomena.B. Innovations.C. Affections.D. Barriers.10、What is the present situation between humans and chatbots?A.Chatbots can totally take the place of humans.B.As for chatbots, humans are absolutely necessary.C.Chatbots are able to answer all humans’ detailed questions.D.Humans can trust chatbots to help them solve difficult problems.11、How does the author find the chatbots?A. Perfect.B. Honest.C. Promising.D. Hardworking.In the amazing natural environment, some birds capture our imaginations. We point to swans as an example of true love since they mate for life. We admire eagles for their power to fly at high altitudes. Owls have been associated with wisdom since the ancient Greeks used an owl for the symbol of Athena, goddess of wisdom. White storks (白鹳), too, deserve high praises, which have been featured in legends since ancient times.Storks are migratory (迁徙的）creatures which winter in tropical Africa. In spring they make the exhausting trip back to Central Europe, arriving from the end of February to mid-April at the previous year’s nesting site. The Germans and Dutch often constructed high platforms on their roofs for storks to build nests on because they believed storks broughtparents. The parents would let the storks know they wanted a baby by leaving candy on a windowsill (窗台).A romantic stork story has touched people around the world, especially people in Croatia. In 1993, a retired man named V okic came upon a wounded female stork near a small Croatian village. V okic took her home, named her Malena, fed her and kept her company. They even watched TV together. In 2002, Malena acquired a mate named Klepetan. Every fall for 19years, Klepetan would migrate to South Africa and then return to Malena in Croatia each spring. People would anxiously await the news of Klepetan’s return. Over the years the long-legged couple raised 66 chicks. V okic built nests for them and helped out with the chicks. Sadly, Malena passed away in 2021, and Croatians mourned. V okic’s ho pe is that Klepetan will return this year and perhaps find a new mate.Malena and Klepetan’s story makes it appear that storks are monogamous (—夫一妻的), but that isn’t always true. They can change mates after migration. Whether storks mate for life or not, they are beloved by many.12、Why does the writer mention another three types of birds before white storks?A. To advise readers to protect the birds.B. To help readers to remember the names.C. To guide readers to understand the following.D. To encourage readers to create the imaginations.13、What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Para. Two?A. Babies.B. Germans.C. Candies.D. Caves.14、Why do German parents leave candy on the windowsill?A. To have a baby.B. To feed the stork.C. To catch the bird.D. To win good luck.15、What can we infer from the romantic stork story?A. V okic is good at keeping storks.B. White storks are monogamous birds.C. Croatia is suitable for storks raising chicks.D. Man and storks are in a harmonious community.二、七选五16、Keeping Calm to Take TestsTaking a test can be quite a stressful experience. Many people get nervous before taking a test. ①_______.

D．showing the results of experiments.One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continuedthe final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.4．The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____.A．encourage him to do more walking B．let him spend a meaningful summer C．help cure him of his reading problem D．make him learn more about weapons 5．The book caught the author’s eye because_____.A．it contained pretty pictures of animalsB．it reminded him of his own dogC．he found its title easy to understandD．he liked children’s stories very much6．Why could the author manage to read the book through?A．He was forced by his mother to read it.B．He identified with the story in the book.C．The book told the story of his pet dog.D．The happy ending of the story attracted him.7．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．The author has become a successful writer.B．The author’s mother read the same book.C．The author’s mother rewarded him with books.D．The author has had happy summers ever since.8．Which one could be the best title of the passage?A．The Charm of a Book B．Mum’s Strict OrderC．Reunion with My Beagle D．My Passion for ReadingIn its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, “No, thanks. I've got a good horse under me.”The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced me the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building?That's where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building's foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening. Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago's early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.9．The author mentions the joke to show ______.A．horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB．Chicago's streets were extremely muddyC．Chicago was very dangerous in the springD．the Chicago people were particularly humorous10．The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_______.A．get rid of the street dirt B．lower the Chicago RiverC．fight against heavy floods D．build the pipes above ground 11．The underlined word “hoist”in Paragraph 4 means “_______”.A．change B．liftC．repair D．decorate12．What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?A．It went on smoothly as intended.B．It interrupted the business of the hotel.C．It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.D．It separated the building from its foundation.13．The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's ______.A．popular life styles and their influencesB．environmental disasters and their causesC．engineering problems and their solutionsD．successful businessmen and their achievementsEScience has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character,and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines（学科）. Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention.So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, livethrough childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole,Brooks’ story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’ attempt to translate his tale into science.14．The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passageto__________.A．illustrate where science can be appliedB．demonstrate the value of Brooks’ new bookC．remind the reader of the importance of scienceD．explain why many writers use science in their works15．According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?A．Its strong basis.B．Its convincing points.C．Its clear writing.D．Its memorable characters.16．What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?A．Contradictory.B．Supportive.C．Cautious.D．Critical.17．What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A．Problems with the book.B．B rooks’s life experience.C．Death of the characters.D．Brooks’s translation skills.The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simplyreflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because“the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist. 18．According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?A．It introduces different cultural values.B．It explains the history of artistic works.C．It relates artistic values to local conditions.D．It excites the human mind throughout the world.19．In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _____.A．great works of art can go beyond national boundariesB．history gives art works special appeal to set them apartC．popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD．great artists are skilled at combining various cultures20．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A．Are Artistic Values Universal?B．Are Popular Arts Permanent?C．Is Human Nature Uniform?D．Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?二、七选五21．End-of-year celebrations have been over.22．.

2018年陕西西安碑林区西安市铁一中学高三五模英语试卷-学生用卷一、阅读理解1、【来源】 2018年陕西西安碑林区西安市铁一中学高三四模第21~23题6分Every year, millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands. Maybe there's spyware on the their computer, or a service they use suffered a security reach, leaving customers at the risk of exposure. Or perhaps their password is easy to guess.Don't fear: You can easily set up proper defenses. Here's how.• Clean Your Computer and SmartphoneBefore you put new security measures into place, make sure your devices, are as spotless as possible. This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out any spy-or malware that may have already infected your system. These days, it's also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses. iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware, but Android users should download the Lookout app to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.• Secure Your WiFiIt's fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they're able to share your connection-that's why you want to be careful when using public WiFi. Even though you put security measures into place a couple of years ago, it's a good idea to refresh your settings.• Use passwordsWhat you've heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numerals, letters, and cases when possible.• Check the shopping securityTake care when shopping online. Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping. If the lock icon encryption （加密） is not there, do not give out credit details. Also, check that the site is legal-never go to a site from a random e-mail and start shopping online.Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping. This will make it easier to cancel if something bad; does happen and your other credit card for "in real life" can still be used uninfluenced.Don't store information on any store's website. It may be convenient but it's also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked.(1) To put new security measures into place, we need to.A. clear out everything in the systemB. make a random selection of networkC. get rid of potential spywareD. refresh the infected system(2) Accruing to the passage, the risk of exposing personal information may possibly be causedby.A. the applications of antivirus programsB. the practice of using public WiFiC. the difficult access to passwordsD. the separate credit card for online shopping(3) This passage is mainly about.A. ways of avoiding identity theftB. tips of freeing computers from virusesC. measures to ensure network securityD. steps to keep track of passwords2、【来源】 2018年陕西西安碑林区西安市铁一中学高三四模第24~27题8分Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half Hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my navels. Oh my last night there. I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the Valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen...At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often-only of objects I find really beautiful. I'm no longer blindly satisfied withhaving something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don't live to make memories-I just live, and tire memories form themselves.(1) Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a wayof.A. observing her school routineB. expressing her satisfactionC. impressing her classmatesD. preserving her history(2) What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?A. A dull night on the journey.B. The beauty of the great valley.C. A striking quotation from a book.D. Her concerns for future generations.(3) What does the author put in her diary now?A. Notes and beautiful pictures.B. Special thoughts and feelings.C. Detailed accounts of daily activities.D. Descriptions of unforgettable events(4) The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is.A. to experience itB. to live the present in the futureC. to make memoriesD. to give accurate representations of it3、【来源】 2018年陕西西安碑林区西安市铁一中学高三四模第28~31题8分Anyone who seeks a college education will face some challenges. These include difficult projects, busy schedules and complex social situations. And for an international student, this experience can be even more intense.Over one million international students studied at many colleges and universities in the United States last year. Many of them came from countries where English is not the native language. But language was not the only barrier they faced.ELS Educational Services is a company that operates several centers at colleges across the U.S. These centers help international students improve their English. In February, ELS researchers presented a study at the yearly conference of the Association of International Education Administrators.This study collected the opinions of 662 international students at 23 different U.S: colleges and universities. Many expressed concerns about their relationships with professors. More than a third said they wished their professors would provide additional helpful criticism. Thirty-three percent wished professors would try harder to understand the international student experience. And 28 percent of the students wished professors would provide non-U.S. examples in class materials.Lisa Giragosian is the director of the international student office at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. She says the findings of the study are common among the students she meets. And, she says teachers share in the responsibility for the difficulties expressed by international students."For every faculty member who's very conscious and globally-minded and seeking an international student's Opinion, there's somebody else who's not. And I'm afraid sometimes we're dealing with the mentality that you're studying in the United States and getting the knowledge from this particular professor or class, and that being totally inclusive is not TAL#NBSP taking priority."Giragosian argues that international students add a great deal to the experiences of American students. As a result, she says, professors need to be equally open and accepting of all their students. That is Why Duke offers training programs for professors to better understand how their international students think and learn.(1) According to the passage, international students face more challengesfrom with their professors.A. inclusionB. busy schedulesC. relationshipD. language(2) We can infer from Paragraph 4 that most international students.A. wants their professors to criticize them moreB. wish more non-U.S. examples in classC. hope for better understanding and help from professorsD. has improved the relationship with their professors(3) The underlined word "taking priority" in Paragraph 6 probably means.A. vitalB. necessaryC. formerD. popular(4) According to the text, who will benefit most from Duke University's training programs?A. Professors in Duke University.B. International students studying in Duke University.C. Every faculty member in Duke University.D. Professors and students in Duke University.4、【来源】 2018年陕西西安碑林区西安市铁一中学高三四模第32~35题8分For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles. Dr Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevator's role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elevator have been locked in a "secret war" for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally（水平地）, and elevators pushing them towards life in close groups of towering vertical（垂直的）columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience—one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we're hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind andfinding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. "After 150 years, we are still not used to it." Bernard said. "We still have not exactly learnt to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure." That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today, as the world's urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller and more crowded, America's total number of elevators—900, 000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine's "2012 Vertical Transportation Industry"—are a force that's becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.(1) What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The general view of elevators.B. The particular interests of experts.C. The desire for a remarkable machine.D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.(2) The author's purpose in mentioning cars is.A. to contrast their functions with elevators'B. to emphasize the importance of elevatorsC. to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD. to explain people's preference for elevators(3) According to Prof Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences?A. Vertical direction.B. Lack of excitement.C. Little physical space.D. Uncomfortable conditions.(4) The author urges readers to consider.A. the exact number of elevator loversB. the serious future situation of elevatorsC. the role of elevators in city developmentD. the relationship between cars and elevators二、七选五5、【来源】 2018年陕西西安碑林区西安市铁一中学高三四模第36~40题10分2017~2018学年5月四川成都锦江区锦江区树德中学高二下学期月考第16~20题10分(每题2分) It's natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave.1But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees of your body language doesn't match the feeling that your face shows.2Previously, they had found that the tone of a person's voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, "I'm so excited."When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies （with faces blurred out） that Showed anger or fear.3An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth.4 A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly influences which emotion they read.5And if you want to be understood, it helps to avoid Sending mixed messages.A. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.B. So, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.C. Scientists feel it new to study the mixed message that confuses people.D. An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.E. Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.F. When you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends thatyou're happy to see them.G.

I felt such a sense of5that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn't6. Somebody hadthought7of me to bring me a gift.Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to makemy8Christmas there special and memorable,I9remembered the women's visit, I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of10for as many children as I could possibly reach.So I11 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help.

ABlack Bear MisunderstandingsHere, FWC (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) shows some common misunderstandings about Florida black bears in an effort to increase popular understanding of Florida’s largest land mammal.Myth #1: Feeding black bears that wander into your yard helps the bears.The feeding of bears, raccoons, and foxes is against the Florida law. Bears are opportunistic feeders and will remember where to; find easy food and return to the location. If they continue to gain access to human provided foods, they can become food conditioned and habituated. Bears that begin to exhibit those behaviors can become a public safety risk and possibly be killed by wildlife officials. Remember “A fed bear is a dead bear.” If a bear is seen in your yard, increase their natural fear of humans by making loud noises from a secure location.Myth #2: Black bears are strict carnivores (食肉动物)。

While the bear family is part of the Order (目) Carnivora, the Florida black bear is described as an omnivore (杂食动物), eating a diet made up of 80% vegetation, 16% insects, and 4% meat. Bears will rarely try to chase down a large animal, such as an adult deer, for a meal, because it will result in a loss of energy – a lot of energy used trying to catch the animal with very little chance of a successful catch, thus no energy gained.Myth #3: It’s best to run away or climb a tree to escape a black bear.Black bears have curved toe nails, naturally making them great climbers. They will commonly climb trees or send their babies up a tree to escape an obvious danger. Nut bearing trees, like oaks, are common places to find black bears feeding in the fall. Black bears can run up to 30 mph. Running from any wild animal can also cause a chase instinct, so it is best to back away slowly and find a secure location, like a vehicle or building.21. How can we explain the underlined sentence “A fed bear is a dead bear”？A. Bears who are fed have a sense of insecurity.B. Bears who visit humans may be seen as threats.C. Bears are usually killed by those who feed them.D. Bears who are fed have a slower running speed.22. Why don’t bears chase large animals?A. They are aware of the success rate.B. They have no interest in their meat.C. They are saving energy to catch insects.D. They’re afraid of being targeted by so me other animals.23. What can be learned about black bear?A. They are fond of nuts.B. They have straight toe nails.C. They get along well with deer.D. They have no fears of loud noises.BShortly after World War II, a Dutch art dealer Was arrested for secret selling paintings by Vermeer (1632-1675) to the Nazis who invaded Holland during the war because V ermeer is considered to be one of Hollan45s best painters, the dealer was charged with selling national treasures to the enemy. To avoid the punishment for this serious crime, he admitted that the paintings forgeries,(伪造品), or fakes - he had painted them himself and fooled the art world and the Nazis. Today, experts agree that the forgeries do not look like Ver meer’s Other works. Why, then, did the art world accept t he fakes as real?One reason why they were accepted was that the forgeries act ually looked different than Vermeer’s other works. The dealer had claimed that the forgeries were from an unknown period early in Vermeer’s art career. Because painters’ styles often change, throughout their careers,art historians at the time did not expe ct the “new discoveries” to look exactly like the known works of Vermeer. In fact, because they did not look similar to the known works, experts did not bother to look at them carefully. This is because experts expect a forger to copy famous paintings as c losely as possible. Once the art dealer’s first forgeries were expected as real, he was free to make more. The others closely matched the first paintings in style, so they were also expected as real Vermeer paintings from the same early period.Another reason experts were fooled is w hat some historians call The Emperor’s New Clothes effect. In Hans Christian Andersen’s story, The Emperor’s New Clothes, two criminals convince an emperor that he is wearing beautiful clothes, when he is actually naked. No one in the empire wants to admit that they cannot see the clothes because they believe the clothes are magic an4 that only good people can see them. Similarly, the art world was influenced by a famous art historian, Wilhelm von Bode, who said the forgeries were some of Vermeer’s be st works. Because von Bode was highly respected, other experts began praising the “new discoveries.” At the time, this made it difficult to criticize the paintings or suggest that they were fakes.24. Why did the art dealer admit that he had forged paintings?A. He wanted to anger the Nazis.B. He felt bad about what he had done.C. He wanted to escape heavy punishment.D. He wanted to prove he was a good painter.25. Why didn’t experts expect the forgeries to look like Vermeer’s known works?A. Painters’ styles vary during their careers.B. Painters often create forgeries to fool experts!C. The experts didn’t carefully examine the paintings.D. The paintings looked similar to Vermeer’s early works.26. Why does the author mention the story The Emperor’s New Clothes?A. To give an example of a forgery in the literary world.B. To explain how experts were fooled by the forgeries.C. To suggest that Vermeer was the emperor of the art world.D. To compare the works of Vermeer with those of Andersen.27. What is the best title for the text?A. The Nazi invasion of Holland in WWII.B. The paintings of Vermeer’s early period.C. How von Bode influenced the art world.D. How some forgeries fooled the art world.CFor man y years doctors have’ wa rned us about the dangers of stress and have given us advice about how to cut down our stress levels. Everyone agrees that long-term stress, for example having to look after someone who has a chronic illness, or stressful situations where there is nothing we can do, for example being stuck in a traffic jam, should be avoided whenever possible. However, some medical experts now believe that certain kinds of stress may actually be good for us.Dr Marios Kyriazis, an anti-ageing expert, points out that what he. calls “good stress” is beneficial to our health and may, in fact, help us stay young and attractive and even live longer, Dr Kyriazis says that “good stress” can strengthen our natural defences which protect us from illnesses common among older people, s uch as Alzheimer’s and heart problems.According to Dr Kyriazis, running for a bus or having to work to meet a deadline are examples of “good stress”, which are situations with short-term or low stress. The stress usually makes us react quickly, and gives us a sense of achievement - we did it! However, in both situations, the stress damages the cells in our body or brain and they start to break down. But then the cells’ own r epair mechanism “switches on” and it produces proteins which repair the damaged cells and remove harmful chemicals that can gradually cause disease. In fact, the body’s response is greater than is needed to rep air the damage; so it actually makes the cells Stronger than they were before.“As the body gets older, this self-repair mechanis m of the cells starts to slow down,” says Dr Kyri azis. “T he best w ay to keep the process working efficiently is to ‘exercise’ it, in the same way you would exercise your muscles to keep them strong. This means having a certain amount of stress in our lives.” Other stressful activities that Kyriazis suggests as feeing good stress include redecorating a room in your house over the weekend, packing your suitcase in a hurry to reach the airport on time, or shopping for a dinner party during your lunch break.So next time your boss tells you that she wants to see die report finished and on her desk in 45 minutes, don’t worry; just think of it a s “good stress” which will benefit your long-term health!28. What is Dr Kyriazis’ opinion probably based on?A. The benefits of doing physical exercise.B. The relationship between stress and health/C. How to get a sense of achievement.D. How to cut down our stress levels.29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The daily stress.B. Long-term stress.C. The increasing stress.D. Short-term or low stress.30. According to Dr Kyriazis, which of th e following may be “good stress”？A. Being stuck in a traffic jam.B. Being late for work for several daysC. Packing for a trip at the last minute.D. Looking after a patient with heart trouble.31. What should be the best title for the text?A. Stress beats success.B. Stress attracts illness.C. Get stressed, stay young.D. Less stress, better health.DPeople in 29 states can legally use marijuana (大麻) for a variety of problems, including the relief of pain, anxiety or stress. But what if they want to travel with it?Secure airport areas beyond the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints are under federal control and the federal government classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 (most harmful) substance, even in states where it is legal for adults to consume it.The laws conflict, but federal law trumps state law, making it illegal to fly with marijuana in carry-on or checked luggage. It is also illegal to transport marijuana across state lines, even if both states have legalized it.Still, some passengers, especially, on domestic flights, take the risk, because searching for marijuana is not on the TSA’s to-do list. “The agency focuses on terrorism and security threats to the aircraft and its passengers,” a spokesman, Brace Anderson, said. “Ai rport screeners are looking for things that can take down an airplane, like guns or explosive, not marijuana,” he said. “But if screeners do notice marijuana in someone’s ca rry-on or checked luggage,” Mr. Anderson said, “they will call in local airport law enforcement officials to deal with it.“Of the 54 million passengers who went through Denver International Airport in 2015, the TSA stopped just 29 for possession of marijuana,” an airport spokesman, Heath Montgomery, said. In those cases, .as long as the amount was legal for personal possession in Colorado - one ounce of dried flower, for example - the local police simply asked the flier to dispose of it, either by throwing it in the trash or taking it home. All 29 obeyed, and no tickets were issued.Local airport authorities handle the situation differently in different states. In Florida where medical marijuana is legal but recreational use is not, few are stopped for possession in the airport, but, they do face penalties. “Eleven of the approximately 2.8 million passengers who were screened by the TSA at Jacksonville International Airport in 2016 were detained for possession of marijuana,” said Michael D. Stewart, the airport’s director of external affairs. “All were arrested or given a notice to appear in court,” hesaid.32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “tra m ps” in par agraph 3?A. Beats.B. Respects.C. Observers.D. Explains.33. Which of the following is on the TSA’s to-do list?A. To classify marijuana.B. To spot items likely to blow up.C. To search language for marijuana.D. To legalize the transport jof marijuana.34. What happened in Denver International Airport in 2015?A. 29 passengers in all were detained by the TSA.B. It received an increasing number of security threats.C. Lots of passengers with marijuana passed the checkpoints.D. No passengers were punished for possession of marijuana.35. What do we know about the law in Florida?A. It is the same as the law in Colorado.B. Patients won’t be screened by the TSA.C. Marijuana can’t be used for entertainment.D. Doctors giving patients marijuana face penalties.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能瑱入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
