Here are 4 attractive places worth your visit.ChurchillChurchill is a town with the nickname "Polar Bear Capital of the World”, where tourists can safely view polar bears from special vehicles in the autumn and winter. Thousands of beluga whales, which move into the warmer waters of theChurchill Riverduring July and August, are a major summer attraction. Churchill is also a destination for bird watchers from late May until August.Niagara FallsNiagara Fallsis a group of three waterfalls, crossing the border betweenCanadaand theUnited States. The largest of the three is Horseshoe Falls, also known asCanadian Falls. Niagara Falls illumination(彩灯)is a must for any visitor! Every night of the year, the three waterfalls are illuminated in color1 s creating an attractive scene that can be viewed from near and far.VancouverVancouverisCanada's third-largest city, always named as one of the top five worldwide cities for its comfortable environment and quality of life.Vancouverhas an active nightlife scene, whether its food and dining, or bars and nightclubs. From mid-June to early July, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival features 300 concerts, including a free opening Downtown Jazz Weekend.OttawaThe capital ofCanadais situated on the banks of theOttawa Riverand has a lot ofEnglish buildings in it.

They are both famous for natural scenery.B. The best visiting time are both at nights.C. They are both located inCanadaentirely.D. The tickets there are both free at weekends.BNot long after the first fitness magazine was published, a list probably followed soon after, ranking the best fitness equipment. This tradition has continued, with the implied message: usethisand exercise willbe yours.And that's part of the problem, says Dr. Lieberman, a professor of Harvard University. There isn't one “best” anything to achieve fitness. Besides, people understand exercise is good for them. Knowledge about exercise still doesn't motivate.Before you can answer why, it helps to look at history. Before the Industrial Revolution, people fetched water and walked up stairs because they had to. But then technology made life and work easier. Exercise has become something that people have to carve out time for. “It's a fundamental instinct to avoid physical activity when it's neither necessary nor rewarding,” he says.It would seem like being healthy would qualify as necessary, but a doctor's prescription to exercise “can make it like taking cod liver oil,” Lieberman says. “Sometimes it works, but more often than not, it doesn't. And it's still coming across as an order, and “not having a heart attack in five years is not an immediate reward,” says Dr. Beth Frates, assistant professor at Harvard Medical School.People might not want to exercise because it's never been enjoyable. Most of us probably have memories of gym class, not being picked for a team, or being in a fitness center that's filled with in-shape people. The majority don't feel excited. They feel that exercise isn't for them, but it can be. Coaching people in an empowering and motivating way can work much better than ordering someone to exercise. It starts with an expanded definition of what counts as exercise, and an injection of what's rarely used to describe exercise, but is certainly allowed: namely, fun.4. What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. The magazine.B. The tradition.C. The equipment.D. The message.5. What can we infer about technology?A. It improves life quality.B. It saves people's time.C. It drives social progress.D. It makes exercise less likely.6. Why does the author mention “cod liver oil” in paragraph 4?A. To attach importance to health.B. To present a doctor's prescription.C. To explain exercise is considered inessential.D. To introduce the latest medical application.7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Exercise should be made more joyful.B. It's more fun to work out with others.C. We may encounter bad workout experiences.D. Orders work well to motivate people to exercise.CSmart speakers have proven to be handy devices in hospitals, allowing patients to control independently . And now, researchers from theUniversityofWashingtonhave developed an artificial intelligence system that enables these devices to monitor heartbeats.Using technology to remotely monitor heart rates isn't new. These days most smartwatches and fitness trackers are capable of it. The good thing here is that researchers have figured out a way to use the microphones in smart speakers to do it without requiring physical contact.In a study published inCommunications Biology, the researchers had the smart speakers send out signals that couldn't be heard which were then reflected off a person's body. They then analyzed these signals to identify small chest wall motions related to heartbeats, as well as separate those signals from surrounding noise and breathing.For this particular proof — of — concept setup, the researchers tested this smart speaker on 26 healthy participants and 24 hospitalized patients with various heart conditions, including atrial fibrillation(心房颤动)and heart failure. In both cases, the smart speaker was within 28 -30 milliseconds of an ECG(心电图),the gold standard used in hospitals to discover arrhythmia(心律不齐).Like smartwatches with advanced heart features, using smart speakers in this way opens up the possibility for passive, remote heart monitoring. ECGs, while highly accurate, require a visit to the doctor and several electrodes (电极)to be placed on the body. They,re not capable of continuous monitoring so you're limited to what it picks up at that exact moment in time ——one reason why heart arrhythmia can be so hard to discover.Smartwatches are capable of passive, remote, continuous monitoring, but they require you to wear the device at all times to be effective. It's not something that's comfortable for everyone, especially when it comes to sleep and for those with highly sensitive skin. Another issue is that these advanced smartwatches are expensive, while smart speakers are much cheaper.“If you have a device like this, you can monitor a patient on an extended basis and then develop corresponding care plans that satisfy the patient' s needs,“ said Dr. Arun Sridhar, co — senior author on the study. "And the beauty of using this kind of devices is that they are already in people's homes.”8. What does the author focus on in Paragraph 3?A. How the smart speaker works.B. Why the smart speaker is useful.C. The advantages of smart speakers.D. The importance of the study.9. Why is heart arrhythmia difficult to find?A. ECGs are not highly accurate.B. ECGs can't monitor continuously.C. Doctors know little about heart arrhythmia.D. An ECG test is hard to operate and expensive.10. Which statement best explains the characteristics of smartwatches?A. They are comfortable to wear.B. They are friendly to sensitive skin.C. They are effective and cheap.D. They are able to monitor remotely.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. We need to invent more smart devices.B. Care plans are vital to patients with heart failure.C. Smart speakers could be contactless heart monitors.D. Different devices are needed to meet patients,demands.DWhat is the secret of happiness? A new study finds that happiness comes from exercise. People who exercise actively bring themselves happiness equal to earning an extra $25,000 ayear.Instead of recording extra hours at work in hopes of getting a raise, maybe you should hit the gym instead, as it could make you just as happy as that extra money. An interesting new study, published in the Lancet, found that people who are physically active have a greater sense of well—being than those who are inactive-and that active individuals feel as good as inactive people who earn $ 25,000 more per year.Researchers from Oxford and Yale Universities used data gathered from more than 1.2milion Americans. They were asked, “How many times have you felt mentally unwell in the past30 days. for example, due to stress, depression, or emotional problems?” Participants were also asked about their exercise habits and were able to choose from 75 diverse physical activities, including doing housework and childcare, running, weightlifting, and cycling. The researchers found that people who exercise regularly feel bad for an average of 35 days per year, while inactive people feel bad for an additional 18 days.All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden. Social physical activities(that is to say, team sports such as football, basketball, etc)had an even more positive effect, which can best help people relax mind.It is possible for some to get too much exercise. From Business Insider'sreport on the study. “The mental health of those participants who exercised for longer than three hours a day suffered more than that of those who weren't particularly physically active.” The ideal amount seems to be three to five training sessions per week. lasting 30 to 60 minutes each.But the conclusion should be that any amount helps, so don't stress about hitting that perfect balance: “All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden than not exercising.”12. The question asked in Paragraph one is meant to ______.A. introduce the researchersB. tell the secretC. draw a conclusionD. lead to the topic13. Which exercise below can help us relax mind most effectively?A. RunningB. Walking alone.C. Playing footballD. Keeping fit in the gym.14. According to the passage, the following are true EXCEPT that ______.A. people who exercise actively may feel bad for about 35 days per year.B. The more exercise you take, the higher mental health burden you will get.C. overdoing exercising will do harm to people's mental health.D. doing exercise is better than not doing it.15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Exercise can bring as much pleasure as an income rise.B. The secret of happiness has nothing to do with wealth.C. Choosing the right form of exercise is of vital importance.D. The key to keep young is to exercise regularly.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。

2019-2020学年广东省普宁市高三上学期期末考试英语试题

2019-2020学年广东省普宁市高三上学期期末考试英语试题

2019-2020学年广东省普宁市高三上学期期末考试英语试题1. Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life-changing adventure overseas. They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down. However, life overseas is not always easy, and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first, for those who actually decide to move abroad, life is an exciting adventure. They enjoy exploring their new surroundings, and life seems like an extended holiday. They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture. They can even afford to practice their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases, when people consider moving to another country, they often fail to realize how different life will be. As time goes by, they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache. In this stage, the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually, most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them. This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home, such as opening a bank account. This new-found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem. The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country: you will not succeed. If not, you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.1. Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?A.They find foreign living much easier.B.They love the adventure and exploration.C.They have the necessary language skills.D.They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.2. According to the author, what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?A.Culture shock. B.Homesickness.C.Health problems. D.Lack of employment.3. What would the author suggest people moving abroad do?A.Go on holidays frequently. B.Learn how to open a bank account.C.Study the local language. D.Seek out people from their home country.2. I wrote a business plan the other day. I gave it to my husband for suggestions. After reading it, he said, “I don’t think this is up to your usual standards.” I said, “I need more information. What doesn’t work?” He said he wasn’t sure. I then took the letter and reread it.He asked, “How about if I look at it again and make notes between the space?” I agreed. A half hour later I looked at his notes and told him he didn’t understand the situation and what I really wanted to express. He shrugged (耸肩) and said OK. I took the letter and went back to my computer and again revised. As I was writing, I could see my letter improving based on his suggestions. When I finished, I proudly handed the letter back to my husband. He read it for the third time and said, “It’s still not right but I couldn’t exactly say.” I was a little annoyed and then told him I was the writer and I had seen some goofy letters he sent out. But I picked up my letter and went back to the computer.After an hour of revisions, I went back to my husband apologetically with letter in hand. I told him I was sorry for what I’d said and asked if he would please read the letter again because I did value his contribution. Being a very patient and kind-hearted fellow, he once again read my letter and declared that it was fine.This all leads me to the following: When you ask for advice on a project, be appreciative and grateful. Understand that the advice and suggestions you get may be negative. Understand that it may mean more work for you. And keep in mind that the final responsibility for the project is still yours. So be modest and thankful even if he or she has noted some problems.1. Why did the author give her business plan to her husband at first?A.To show off her excellent work.B.To have him type it on the computer.C.To ask him to make some changes from all details.D.To ask him to give her some advice.2. The author’s husband shrugged after hearing her words because he ________.A.believed in his judgement but couldn’t find whyB.knew there was nothing wrong in the business planC.doubted about himself since he found no excusesD.believed he himself was right and knew the roots3. We can infer from the passage that the author’s husband was _________.A.selfish, proud and determinedB.good at expressing himselfC.honest, kind and patientD.humorous, active and careful4. The author wants to tell us that if you ask for suggestions, ________.A.do accept all suggestions from the giversB.don’t get upset if some are negativeC.do keep silent before taking actionD.do be grateful and confident3. As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it. These are examples of ho w peers positively influence each other.Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely.” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things either, even if other kids do.If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.1. For whom is the passage most probably written?A.Parents. B.Teachers.C.Students. D.Doctors.2. In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly_____.A.explains why friendship is so importantB.shows how to make more good friendsC.discusses how peers influence usD.gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure3. Which of following may help handle peer pressure?A.Spending more time with classmates.B.Taking up more relaxing hobbies.C.Choosing friends with no bad habits.D.Helping others who are in trouble.4. What is the topic of the passage?A.Friendship. B.Making decisionsC.Self-confidence D.Peer pressure4. When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and train me upfor love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say, “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at that time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s drea ms. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think, “Yes, I must tell…”, though we have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kindness is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.1. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to________.A.become serious about her study B.go to her friend’s house regularlyC.learn from her classmates at school D.share poems and stories with her friend 2. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means________.A.our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB.we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC.our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD.we parted with each other in London3. In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to________.A.seek professional help B.be left aloneC.stay with her best friend D.break the silence4. What is the best title for the passage?A.Unforgettable Experiences B.Noble CompanionsC.Remarkable Imagination D.Lifelong Friendship5. Get a Thorough Understanding of OneselfIn all one’s life time, it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. 1When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach. 2 It’s likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world. Actually, to get a thorough understanding of oneself, you may as well keep the following tips in mind.Gain a correct view of oneself. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for dreams can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts. 3Self-appreciate. Whether you compare yourself to a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature. 4 If you earnestly (诚挚地) admire yourself, you’ll have a real sense of self-appreciation.5 In time of anger, do yourself a favor by releasing it in a quiet place so t hat you won’t be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a bad mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep.Get a full control of one’s lif e. Then one will find one’s life full of color and flavor.6. I’ve been obsessed (痴迷的) with languages for as long as I can remember. My dad could talk to everyone with ease, confidently _________ between languages. His abilities made a big impression on me, but he didn’t _________ me to follow his lead.I wasn’t a(n) _________ language learner. I made slow progress with French at school and almost gave it up. But things felt different when I _________ German at university — loving many German writers in translation, I wanted to read them in their _________ tongue, and that’s been my main_________ for learning new ones since. Once I got German, I was _________ ; French, Latin, Greek and Sanskrit quickly followed. The idea of having a _________ overview of the world has always fascinated me, and _________ languages seemed a good way of achieving that. By my 20s, I’d set my heart on __________ the rest of my life to learning as many as I could.I’m often asked what the __________ is, and whether some people have a gift for absorbing words and phrases. The truth is th at it’s down to endless hours of __________ — reading, studying and practicing grammar. __________ , all these wonderful languages start to swim into focus, and ever increasing numbers of great works become __________ .It’s hard, but the __________ can b e thrilling. When I started studying Spanish, there was a moment when the living language suddenly __________ itself to me. Something __________ happened when I heard Swedish spoken around me. It seemed to __________ elements of languages I was familiar with. The more of them I know, the more I see how inter-related they are. All it took was three weeks and I was able to __________ effectively in complex conversations.Now, I can read about three dozen languages and speak most of them fluently. I think I’m much richer for that — it makes me more __________ .1.A.distinguishing B.comparing C.switching D.dividing2.A.trust B.threaten C.promise D.encourage3.A.natural B.average C.individual D.sensitive4.A.put down B.took on C.went over D.made up5.A.simple B.sharp C.native D.polite6.A.foundation B.motivation C.advantage D.appreciation7.A.hooked B.shocked C.relieved D.depressed8.A.historical B.scientific C.skeptical D.comprehensive 9.A.imitating B.acquiring C.selecting D.speaking10.A.reducing B.adjusting C.attaching D.devoting11.A.puzzle B.purpose C.benefit D.secret12.A.evaluation B.concentration C.expectation D.admiration 13.A.Regularly B.Usually C.Gradually D.Suddenly14.A.accessible B.reliable C.affordable D.invisible15.A.beginning B.options C.rewards D.circle16.A.explained B.revealed C.limited D.recommended 17.A.significant B.reasonable C.funny D.similar18.A.transform B.promote C.combine D.substitute19.A.communicate B.compromise C.compete D.compensate 20.A.confident B.considerate C.objective D.arbitrary7. 阅读下面材料,根据上下文在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

By age 8, children were more likely to log the highest amount of screen time if they had been in home-based children or were born to first-time mothers.“Our results indicate that screen habits begin early, ”said Edwina Yeung, an investigator in National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).“This finding suggests that interventions(干涉) to reduce screen time could have a better chance of success if introduced early.”In the research, mothers of 4, 000 children responded to questions on their kids' media habits when they were 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months of age.TheAmericanAcademyof Pediatrics recommends avoiding digital media exposure for children under 18 months of age, introducing children 18 to 24 months of age to screen media slowly, and limiting screen time to an hour a day for children from 2 to 5 years of age. In the current study, researchers found that 87% of the children had screen time exceeding (超过) these recommendations. However, while screen time increased throughout toddlerhood, by age 7 and 8, screen time fell to under 1.5 hours per day. The researchers believe this decrease relates to time consumed by school-related activities.The study authors classified the children into two groups based on how much their average daily screen time increased from age 1 to age 3. The first group, 73% of the total had the lowest increase, from an average of nearly 51 minutes a day to nearly an hour and 47 minutes a day. The second group, 27% of the total, had the highest increase, from nearly 37 minutes of screen time a day to about 4 hours a day. Higher levels of parental education were associated with lower odds of inclusion in the second group.8. Who use mobile device longest according to the NIH's analysis?A. 10-year-old born to first-time mothers.B. 3-year-old children in low income families.C. 8-year-old children in home-based childcare.D. 1-year-old children with parents poorly educated.9. What does the research suggest according to Edwina?A. Parents should stop their children using media.B. Parents should limit the use of digital media themselves.C. Parents should reduce their children's screen time earlier.D. Parents should avoid their children using digital media at infancy (婴儿期).10. Why does children's screen time fall when they age 7 and 8?A. They are studying at school.B. They can control themselves.C. They are tired of using them.D. They are forbidden to use them.11. Which of the following may be the best title?A. Keep Away from MediaB. Screen Habits Begin EarlyC. Urgency of Parental EducationD. Harm of Home-based ChildcareDTo Rehan Staton, his childhood was a life of privilege — loving parents, a supportive big brother and a pleasant, private school education. Everything changed when his mother left the country and his father lost his job.He had to sleep with a heavy jacket on when it was cold. He was always hungry. He said he couldn't concentrate at school and would sleep during class. He went from straight. As to near the bottom of his class. A teacher told him he needed special education, which made him hate school.Staton spent his high school years as an excellent athlete, raining to become a professional boxer. He had won a lot of martial arts competitions.But a tragedy struck him in his senior year when Staton suffered serious tendonitis (肌腱炎), in both shoulders. He couldn’t lift either arm for months. His dream of becoming a professional player failed. He struggled to apply to colleges but was refused byall of them.Staton’s body slowly recovered from martial arts and he got a job as a rubbish collector. Many co-workers couldn't help but ask him a simple question, “What are you doing here? You’re smart. You are too young to be here. Go to college.” It was the first time someone outside his family had spoken highly of his intelligence. It was the co-workers thatem enedhim to return to school.Several co-workers put Staton in touch with a professor atBowieStateUniversity. The professor was impressedwith their conversation and persuaded the admissions board to change its former decision.Going to college forced Staton’s older brother, Reggie, to drop out. They both knew someone had to be working full time along with their dad. It was a decision Reggie made on his own.After receiving a 4.0, Staton succeeded in becoming a student at theUniversityofMaryland. But he still had a long way to go to attend Harvard Law eventually...12. What finally changed Rehan Staton’s happy childhood?A. His brother’s losing the job.B. His serious health problem.C. His father’s sudden death.D. His mother’s leaving the country.13. What does the underlined word “em ened” in the fourth paragraph mean?A. Force.B. Direct.C. Encourage.D. Accompany.14. Why did Staton’s elder brother have to drop out of school?A. He wanted his brother to study further.B. His father asked him to leave school.C. He had lost interest in most lessons.D. He had to go out to find his mother.15. What will the writer mainly talk about next?A. What Rehan Staton planned to do after entering Harvard.B. How Rehan Staton managed to be admitted to Harvard.C.

The vehicle will be put into commercial operation by 2019.Such unmanned vehicles are epected to lower the number of human-error incidents at sea, reduce labor costs and cut emissions(排放) by using batteries instead of gas."Over 70 to 80 percent of incidents that happened in the sea are man-made, and 40 percent of the entire running cost goes to human labor," said hang Yunfei, founder of Oceanalpha."Using USVs can largely reduce the cost and incidents. Also, the vehicle body is much lighter, which enables it to be powered by batteries instead of gas, greatly cutting down the emission," he said.Early this year, Oceanalpha launched an unmanned guard vehicle, which has already been adopted for military(军队的)use.24.What is the passage mainly about?A. A Chinese high-tech company.B. A breathrough in ocean research.C. A Chinese-foreign joint project.D. An advancement in a water vehicle.25. What do we now about the unmanned USV?A.

What can be inferred from hang Yunfei’s words?A. USVs will have fewer crew members.B. It taes more human labor to run USVs.C. There will be no accidents by using USVs.D. The change of power reduces the emission.27. What field will the USV be used in?A. Business.B. Military.C. Education.D. Science.CA new study suggests that tiny organisms living underground may store most of the carbon in Swedish forest floors. That's a good thing for the environment If the carbon remains hidden in the soil, then it's not escaping into the atmosphere. There, it could contribute to global warming.These organisms, called mycorrhial fungi(菌根真菌), grow on tree roots. They provide trees with nutrients in echange for their sugars, which contain carbon.Scientists had long believed that most of the carbon sits above ground. But the new study suggests most carbon is trapped in the soil. Carbon is a building bloc of every living organism, from people and fish to bacteria and trees. Trees are masters at stashing carbon. They breathe in carbon dioide from the air. They use the carbon to grow branches, leaves and roots. But the element moves around. If a tree falls down and rots—or is cut down and burned—its carbon goes bac into the air as carbon dioide. Too much of the gas in the air can foster global warming.In cold northern forests, lie those in Sweden, fallen leaves and branches tae a long time to rot. That means the carbon in those materials can stay put for a long time.To learn more about what a tree does with its carbon, ecologists at the Swedish University collected soil from 30 forested Swedish islands. They then measured the amount and age of the carbon in the samples. The scientists found that deeper, fungi-filled soils contained more carbon than soils from the surface of the forest floor.When the scientists dated the carbon in the samples, they got a surprise They found "young" carbon in deeper soils. The researchers had epected to find young carbon only in soils closer to the surface of the forest floor. The only eplanation, they say The young carbon came from the underground fungi that swallow carbon-containing sugars from tree roots.With the new findings, scientists may better understand soil's role in storing carbon. That information could help improve forecasts for global warming.28. How do fungi grow?A. They consume carbon dioide.B. They digest fallen tree branches.C. They absorb nutrients from the soil.D. They obtain sugars from tree roots.29. What does the underlined word "stashing" in Para. 3 mean?A. Storing.B. Reducing.C. Transforming.D. Producing.30. Why were the scientists surprised at the findings?A. Young carbon was found in the surface of the forest floor.B. The findings could not be eplained scientifically.C. The findings proved their previous ideas wrong.D. It is hard to find young carbon in the underground fungi.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the tet?A. Fungi In Cold Northern Forests.B. Fungi As Carbon eepers.C. Fungi On the Roots of Trees.D. Fungi In the Deep Soil.DSmile, you're on body camAs camera technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isn’t hard to imagine a future where we’re all filming everything all the time, in every direction it isn't hard to imagine a future where we're all filming everything all the time, in every direction.Would that be a good thing? There are some obvious potential upsides. If people now they are on camera, especially when at wor or using public services, they are surely less liely to misbehave. Another upside is that it would be harder to get away with crimes or to escape from blame for accidents.Body-cam data could also create a legal minefield. Arguments over the truth and interpretation of police footage(影像) have already surfaced. Eventually, events not caught on camera could be treated as if they didn’t happen. Alternatively, footage could be faed or doctored to avoid blame or do wrong to others.Of course, some people thin that if you re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. But most people have done something embarrassing, or even illegal, that they regret and would prefer hadn't been caught on film. People already remove their social media feeds or avoid doing anything wrong in public--for fear of damaging their reputation.The always-on-camera world could even threaten some of the qualities that mae us human. We are natural persons who enjoy taling about other people's private lives and while those might not be desirable behaviours, they oil the wheels of our social interactions. Once people assume they are being filmed, they are liely to eep silent.The argument in relation to body-cam ownership is a bit lie that for guns once you go past a critical threshold(临界阈值), almost everyone will feel they need one as an insurance policy. We are nowhere near that point yet- but we should thin hard about whether we really want to say lights, body cam, action.32. What does the underlined word "upsides" in Para. 2 refer to?A. Advantages.B. Rules.C. Shortcomings.D. Dangers.33. Why do people argue about police footage?A. Police footage can show the truth.B. Events caught on footage are treated unfairly.C. Police footage could be changed on purpose.D. Footage should not be filmed by police.34. What does the author believe?A. People pretend to behave well with cameras on.B. people's private lives should be respected.C. Taling about others' private lives promotes social interactions.D. People eep silent before cameras when taling about themselves.35. What is suggested in the last paragraph?A. We don't need a critical threshold.B. We should be cautious in adopting body-cam.C. We need body-cam as an insurance policy.D. We haven't decided whether to tae action.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。
