Over 10,000 athletes from 207 countries marched across Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana stadium, proud to represent their respective nations at the world’s most famous sporting event.The road to the Olympics, however, is not easy for any athlete. It has been particularly hard for Yusra Mardini, who is a member of the world’s first “Olympic Refugee (难民)Team.” The 19-year-old always dreamed of swimming for Syria at the Olympic Games. However, in August 2015, after losing her home in the conflict that has involved Syria since 2011, she and her sister decided to flee the country. The sisters along with a few other Syrian nationals made their way to Turkey via Lebanon. They then set sail on a small boat to their final destination — Greece.Unluckily, thirty minutes after leaving Turkey, the motor on the ship which was meant to hold six passengers but was instead carrying twenty, failed. Yusra, her sister Sarah, and the only two other strong swimmers aboard the boat had no choice but to dive into the ocean and use their superior swimming skills to push the boat and its passengers all the way to Lesbos, Greece – A journey that took three hours.While her dream of representing her country was ruined, Yusra did not give up her desire to compete in the Olympics. In March 2016, she was one of ten athletes selected and funded by the Olympic Committee to form the first-ever “Refugee Team.”International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach believes that Yusra and her teammates, who have also had to flee their countries, “Will show the world that despite the unimaginable tragedies they have faced, anyone can compete, anyone can contribute to society through their talent, skill, and strength of the human spirit.”4．What do we know about Yusra’s fleeing journey to Greece?A. It was a failureB. It took three hours.C. It was very hard.D. It was very smooth.5．What is the right order of the events related to Yusra?a. She became a member of the world’s first “Olympic Refugee Team”.b. She dreamed of swimming for Syria at the Olympic Games.c. She lost her home.d. She fled Syria to Greece with her sister Sarah and a few other SyriansA. b, a, c, dB.b, c, d, aC. a, d, c, bD. a, b, c, d6．Thomas Bach’s attitude to Yusra is _______.A. supportiveB. tolerantC. disapprovingD. resistant7．What is the best title for the text?A. A Hard Road to the Olympic GamesB. Yusra’s Strong Will to Compete in the OlympicsC. Yusra Mardini — Refugee Team SwimmerD. Athlete To Watch At The 2016 Rio Summer OlympicsCIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find ho w “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to(料理), and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card(住宿登记卡) to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly(相应地).With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?8.While taking a taxi in Finland, _____.A. a passenger can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying9.We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland ________.A. are mostly poorly managedB.provide meal for only those who live in the hotelsC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. provide meals for any diners10.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B.The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D. The workers are always honest with their working hours.11.Th e word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to _____.A. people who often take taxisB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who are dishonestD. people who are worthy of trustDWhile your pet fish may appear to be ignorant of your presence, chances are that it knows you extremely well and can probably even identify you from a crowd of human faces! At least, that is the conclusion reached by scientists the University of Oxford in the U.K. and the University of Queensland in Australia, following an extensive study of the archerfish (喷水鱼), a species of tropical fish that can be found all the way from India to Indonesia, the Philippines, and Australia.The ability to distinguish between human faces is a complex task. That’s because we all have the same basic features —two eyes sitting above a nose and a mouth. It’s only the subtle differences that make humans distinct from one another. Since this requires a combination of both visual sense and memory, researchers had always assumed that it was a skill possessed only by those with complicated brains, i.e., humans, a few select animals —such as horses, cows, dogs, monkeys and some birds, like pigeons. To test if this assumption was accurate, a team of scientists led by Dr. Cait Newport, Marie Curie Research Fellow in the Department of Zoology at Oxford University, decided to study fish. The aquatic (水生的) animals have small brains that lack the neocortex （大脑新皮层）, or neocortex-like structure, believed to help recognize the subtle differences between human facial features.The team began by presenting four archerfish with images of two human faces. Initially, the fish spat randomly at both. However, they soon learned that pouring water at the one selected by the researchers earned them a food treat. After that, they focused primarily on that image. The researchers then took the experiment one step further, by introducing 44 other human faces to the mix.To the researcher’s astonishment, the trained archerfish were able to r ecall the learned image almost 81% of the time. And this accuracy improved to 86% when the researchers made the identification even harder, by replacing the colored photos with a set of black and white images and hiding the shape of the head.12．What is the conclusion of the study made by the scientists from the universities?A. Some fish may ignore your presence.B. Some fish have large brains.C. Some fish have complicated brains.D. Some fish can recognize your faces.13.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Y our pet fish don’t know who you are.B.T he fishes’ ability to tell the differences between human faces is gained bytraining.C.I n the experiment, the harder the task was made, the better the archerfish did.D.O nly the animals raised by people can have the ability to identify human faces. 14．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The ability of memorizing complicated things.B. A combination of visual sense and memory.C. The ability to distinguish between human faces.D. The ability of telling beasts from birds.15．In the experiment, the researchers trained the archerfish _______.A. by taking photos of fishB. by improving people’s imagesC. by rewarding them with foodD. by covering their heads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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AAre all your photographs good? Be honest with yourself. Aren’t some of your pictures too dark, and others too light? How many times have you thrown away a photo? We, the Fine Photograph Club, can help you. We meet every Wednesday in our comfortable club room in Bridge Street. At 7:30 p.m. a member of the club or a visitor would give a talk, and then we have coffee. Our members will advise you on all the latest cameras and films. They will help you to develop your films or enlarge your pictures. What does it all cost? Only 5 pounds a year.Photography is now a big business. Do you know, for instance, that there are 15 million cameras in our country? And that 700 million photographs are taken a year, more than one-third of them in color? Think of the amount of photography in television, the cinema, newspapers, books, advertisements and so on. In modern life people learn a lot from pictures, so photography is more and more important.

Although campers and hikers are warned not to feed the bears, many people ignore these warnings and feed the beasts anyway. When bears are used to people’s food, problems soon arise.Bears like to eat a large variety of things, both meat and vegetable. Without human assistance, bears live nicely on roots, twigs, leaves of trees, insects and small animals. With people around, the bears' tastes quickly expand to include sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, and anything else they can tempt humans into giving up.Bears often develop clever strategies for getting people to let go their food supplies. More often than not, an unsuspecting hiker has taken off his or her pack for a rest only to have a bear charge out of the woods, grab the pack and quickly disappear into t he underbrush with it. Hanging the pack on a tree branch won’t help. Bears have been known to climb up, jump off, and catch the pack on the way down. One mother bear stretched up with her baby on her shoulders to reach a pack stored on a pole. Many bears threaten people into giving up their supplies. Although a bear is unlikely to attack a person and would probably run away if screamed at, few people are willing to do so. Most people drop the pack and run the other way. This, of course, delights the bear. In some places, the Park Service installed some metal barrelswith lids to help campers keep their supplies safe from bears. Although the bears were unable to open these containers, the effort was less than successful. Most campers, unable to tell the metal drums from rubbish cans, never used them for the intended purpose.5. Feeding bears on people’s food.A. brings the people a lot of funB. can cause problemsC. often causes injuries and deathsD. helps bears survive6. If people had never fed bears, the bears .A. might be satisfied with what they had originallyB. would have starved long beforeC. wouldn’t have enough food supplyD. would have hunted for other kind of food7. Which of the following is TRUE?A. If fed on sandwiches and hot dogs, the bears would no longer eat roots, twigs and insects.B. It’s likely that bears would hurt people if the people didn’t give up their food.C. Most people would frighten away the bears that would tempt their food.D. Seeing a pack, the bear would quickly take it and run away with it.CThink about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power source, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills had been rarely used.During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realizedthat the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.8. From the text we know that windmills ________.A. were invented by European armiesB. have a history of more than 2800 yearsC. used to supply power to radio in remote areasD. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered9. What was a new use for wind power in the late l9th century?A. Sailing a boat.B. Producing electricity.C. Grinding wheat into flour.D. Pumping water from underground.10. One of the reasons why wind was rediscovered in the 1970 is that ________.A. wind power is cleanerB. it is one of the oldest power sourcesC. it was cheaper to create energy from windD. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs11. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. The advantage of wind power.B. The design of wind power plants.C. The worldwide movement to save energy.D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.DIf Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their o wn national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularityin Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, historyand philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks(缺点) of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal powerwith the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading booksabout Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachersto introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, evenif his birthday is. 12. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.A. provide some key facts about ConfuciusB. attract the readers’ interest in the subjectC. show great respect for the ancient thinkerD. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations13. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.A. have a great interest in studying ChineseB. take an active part in Chinese competitionsC. try to get high scores in Chinese examsD. fight for a chance to learn Chinese14. What is the best title for the passage?A. Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB. Huge Fans of the Chinese LanguageC. Old Thinker with a Big FutureD. Chinese Culture for Westerners15. The passage is likely to appear in ________.A. a newspaperB. a history paperC. a biographyD. a philosophy textbook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。

Ever say to yourself：Hey, I wish that I could do more to help the environment? Have you ever thought about trying to help the earth but never really did it? Well, here are some pretty easyand skillful ideas for that green - earth desire inside you.●Turn off your computer. By leaving it on all day you are creating more CO2than a regular passenger would, driving to and from work in one day.● Ride your bike or carpool (合用汽车).Obviously, youare creating less CO2which will help the ozone(臭氧).● Make a garden. Even simply grow some plants in your kitchen, which will help produce more oxygen while eating up some of that evil CO2.● Buy local groceries. It creates less impact on the environment. Besides, you're supporting your local farmers.● Recycle. You had to see this coming. But you have no idea how much you are helping the environment by simply reusing a water bottle instead of buying a huge pack at the store.● Don't run the water while brushing. It saves you money and helps the water resources.● Open the curtains. Natural light is much prettier and it will keep the energy usage down.● Rechargeable batteries. You have no idea how much it takes to get rid of batteries. Do yourself a favor. Save some money and some energy.1. If you don't want to create more CO2, you may_______.A. turn off your computer or open the curtainsB. turn off your computer or ride your bike or carpoolC. make a garden or open the curtainsD. use rechargeable batteries or make a garden2.

Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move ontheir own, “The art form amazes me, because it combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China in Beijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency in Beijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned to Chengdu to open his automata workshop.To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”4. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Yu is equipped with various skills.B. Yu is a person full of sense of humor.C Yu is now gaining recognition worldwide.D. Yu is following the latest trend in handcraft.5. Why did Yu quit his job in Beijing?A. He couldn't make a living out of it.B. He wanted to pursue his own dream.C. He missed his family in Chengdu.D. He thought he had a lot experience.6. According to Yu, what contributes to his creativity as an automata artist?A. The fruits he grows.B. Success of his business.C. His devotion to the job.D. Observation from daily life.7. Which of the following can best describe Yu’s story?A. There is no end to learning.B. Great hopes make great man.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.CThe herd of elephants moving north after leaving the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in Yunnan province has drawn widespread public attention, with tens of millions of people following its movement on TV programs and social media platforms.But this is not because it’s the first time wild Asian Elephants have wandered away from their habitat and headed northward, but for only this time the herd has traveled more than 400 kilometers as far as Kunming. Photographs, videos and stories of the herd’s movement have sparked widespread discussions even overseas.However, there is a need to go behind the “cute photos” and the seemingly “fantastic” event and identify the reasons why wild elephants are leaving their habitat, and find ways to establish harmonious human-animal relationship within habitats and the surrounding forests and human settlements. It is important to scientifically mark the limits of the habitats for elephants and other animals in Xishuangbanna and elsewhere in the country for ecological reasons as well.Planting trees is a key and fundamental step toward restoration of nature. Yet long-term investment and a more scientific approach are needed to maintain the remaining forests as well as to extend the forest cover and strengthen conservation.Nevertheless, tree cover alone doesn’t mean a suitable habitat for all animals, for different species need different types of vegetation to survive and breed. The elephant herd in Yunnan is a reminder that we have to scientifically conserve the existing forests and turn them into suitable habitats for different species of animals andbirds, which will ultimately benefit humans.More ambitious targets should be set to rebuild or improve the food chain, and measures taken to ensure forest resources help wildlife flourish, in order to establish a harmonious human-animal relationship.Forests around the globe are still shrinking, particularly those in tropical and developing countries.

Most plastic is made from fossil fuels. Millions of tons of greenhouse gas are released from the development of these resources and plastic production and burning.The end life of plastic is just worrisome. Less than 10% of the plastic produced has been recycled. Even more of it has been burned. But the vast majority of plastic has been buried inland, and it is increasingly polluting the environment. We hear mostly about ocean plastic and the harm done to sea creatures that mistake plastic bags and bits for food. But microplastic is even more worrisome. Plastic doesn't break down biologically but instead breaks down into tiny particles（a very small piece of something）, which have been found in every corner of the planet, on land and in the air, in drinking water and food sources.Yet the public has not given this global environmental disaster the attention it requires. Instead, they have viewed single-use plastic—which makes up about 40% of plastic used each year—as a litter issue that can be solved through better recycling and waste management. That attitude must change because the recent global breakdown of the market for recycling has made it clear that it has never been, nor ever will be, able to keep up with plastic trash use.California has been the forerunner of plastic waste reduction—it was the first state to ban single-use plastic bags and may be the first state to transform the way goods are packaged. The state also came close to passing an act which would have required that products sold in plastic packaging in the state have a proven recycling rate of 75% by 2032. California, though influential, can't solve this crisis alone. The US has long been producing a great amount of plastic trash and it should engage in reducing the use of plastic as well.12. Why does the author mention the release of greenhouse gas in paragraph 1?A. To show the harm of plasticB. To warn of the climate change.C. To call for the development of fossil fuels.D. To highlight the importance of plastic equipment.13. What's the author's attitude towards the public opinion on single-use plastic?A. Favorable.B. Tolerant.C. Curious.D. Opposed.14. What's California's role in reducing plastic waste?A. A pioneer.B. A failure.C. An objector.D. A predictor.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Microplastic Products Are HarmfulB. Waste Recycling Is an Urgent MatterC. Plastic Waste Pollution Is a Wake-up CallD. Global Environmental Disasters Are Increasing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。

Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
2.Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.

AShirley Temple(1928—2014)，an American actress，was considered amongthe most successful child stars in the history of film. Born by an ambitiousmother，Temple first appeared in a film at the age of three，and at six she starredin Stand Up and Cheer (1934).Known and recognized for her ability to sing andtap dance in several films，Temple became a famous figure in 1934.At the end ofthat year she was given a special Academy Award “in grateful recognition of heroutstanding contribution.”During the Great Depression of the 1930s，Temple was celebrated by an adoring public. At the height of her popularity，from 1935 to 1938，Temple was the biggest box－office attraction in Hollywood. Temple made a number of films as a teenager，but her appeal had faded，and the films were not successful. In 1949，Temple departed elegantly from Hollywood.Two decades later，she reappeared into the spotlight by announcing her qualification as a candidate for Congress. She lost the election，but Temple displayed her determination and went on to enjoy a long and successful career with the United Nations and the State Department.After retirement，she reposed that she was at peace with her life and proud of her accomplishments in two of the nation's most influential areas.“If I had to do it all over again.”Shirley Temple once declared，“I wouldn't change anything.”1. What do we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Temple was still popular in 1949.B. Temple was a failure as a child star.C. Hollywood made a big fortune because of Temple.D. People became tired of Temple in the Great Depression.2. Temple attracted people's attention again when .A. she entered CongressB. she worked for the UNC. she went on with the political lifeD. she announced to participate in the election3. We know from the last paragraph that Temple .A. wanted to lead a different lifeB. regretted having left HollywoodC. was content with her experiencesD. was sorry about her election failure4. Which of the following best describes Temple?A. Special and generous.B. Patient and sensitive.C. Attractive and humorous.D. Talented and determined.BI was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit bya passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan (贷款) we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. W e have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again.The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs,but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.5. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A. most families chose to go car-freeB. he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC. the cost of a new car was too muchD. the traffic jam was unbearable for him6. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Unconcerned.7. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?A. Argue against it.B. Take their advice.C. Think it over.D. Leave it alone.8. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A. Life cannot go without a car.B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.C. His life gets improved without a car.D. A car-free life does not suit everyone.CIn a time when a dangerous number of people are overweight, many people seem to have forgotten the most important way to keep healthy and slim---exercise. And as a new study carried out on mice in the lab has shown, exercise done early in life can reward you in your adult years.A team of researchers at the University of California studied the effects of early exercise on adult physical activity, body mass and eating. They found that early-age exercise in mice has positive effects on adult levels of voluntary exercise in addition to reducing body mass.“These results may have an effect on the importance of regular physical education in elementary and middle schools,” said Theodore Garland, a professor of biology, who led the research project. “If kids exercise regularly through their school years, then they may be more likely to exercise as adults, which could have far-reaching positive effects on human health and well-being.”Although the positive effects of early-life exercise lasted for only one week, it is important to note that one week in the life of a mouse is the same as about nine months for humans. “Our results suggest that any positive effects of early-life exercise on adult exercise will need to be kept up if they are to be long-lasting.”His team of researchers found, too, that all mice that had access to early exercise were lighter in weight than non-exercised mice.Garland explained that, in general, exercise will stimulate appetite sooner or later. However, it is possible that certain types of exercise, done for certain periods of time or at certain light levels, might not stimulate appetite much, if at all, at least in some individuals.“If we could understand what sorts of exercise these might be, then we might be able to tailor exercise recommendations in a way that would bring the benefits of exercise without increase in appetite, leading to a better chance of weight loss,” he said.9. How long do the positive effects of early-life exercise last for a mouse?A. One dayB. One weekC. One monthD. Nine months10. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A. More study is needed to better understand the effects of different types of exercise.B. Early-life exercise has life-long positive effects on peopleC. Kids should be encouraged to do exercise as early as possible to ensure physical health.D. The new study on mice mainly focused on how exercise affects appetite.11. The underlined word “stimulate” in the last but one paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.A. declineB. improveC. varyD. harm12. What is the article mainly about?A. New ways to fight against being overweight.B. The positive effects of miceC .The possible risks of doing exerciseD. The positive effects of early- life exercise.D13. Which of the following best describes Roth’s feeling in Book 1?A. PainfulB. CuriousC. FrightenedD. Disappointed.14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Animals are mentioned in Book 1 and Book 5.B. Book 3 introduces 40 inventive concepts.C. Alkalines batteries were invented by Dr. Banting.D. George Washington Carver was a black farmer in the US.15.

高中英语真题：2017届高三上学期第二次模拟考试英语试题Word版.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.Master painter Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) was well known for having a large number of friends and students. Among them, painter Li Qiujun was special.They got to know each other through Li's elder brother, who was one of Zhang's best friends.They admired each other's artistic talent and became confidants, which resulted in a romantic relationship.In 1948, Zhang produced Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape, a mountain-and-water ink painting featuring gongbi (meticulous brushwork), as a gift for Li's 50th birthday.A year later, Zhang permanently departed from the mainland, and traveled and exhibited around the world before settling down in Taipei in1976.After leaving the mainland, he often said that he missed Li, who died in Shanghai in 1973.Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape will be auctioned in Hong Kong on Oct 4.The painting not only marks a friendship between the two painters, but it deserves special attention because it shows Zhang at the top of his game as he sought to master the mountain-and-water style, according to C.K. Cheung, head of Sotheby's Chinese painting department.Sotheby's will auction the work at its major autumn sale, which runs from Oct 1 to 5.Cheung says the painting's composition and Zhang's attention to details reflect his incorporation of traditional touches, especially from Song Dynasty (960-1279) paintings, while also developing his own style.21. The underlined word “confidants” in paragraph 3 probably means ____.A. enemiesB. collegesC. friendsD. painters22. How old was Li Qiujun when she died?A. 50B. 75C. 78D. 8423. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape was originally a gift for Li's 50th birthday.B. Zhang Daqian permanently departed from the mainland in 1949.C. Sotheby's will auction Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape inHong Kong.D. Li Qiujun's elder brother was also one of ZhangDaqian's students.2.A new international study shows that some people's biological clock plays a powerful role for their life expectancy, regardless of lifestyle choices.Published in the latest issue of Aging on Wednesday, the study has found the most definitive evidence to explain why some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others.Geneticist Steve Horvath from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), led a team of 65 scientists around the world to record age-related changes to human DNA, analyse blood samples collected from 13,000 people and estimate their lifespan.A higher biological age, regardless of actual age, consistently predicts an earlier death, the study says."You get people who are vegan, sleep 10 hours a day, have a low-stress job, and still end up dying young," Horvath said in a statement. "We have shown some people have a faster innate aging rate."The findings discovered that 5 percent of the population ages at a faster biological rate, which translated to a roughly 50 percent higher than average risk of death at any age."The great hope is that we find anti-aging interventions that would slow your innate aging rate," Horvath said, adding that "this is an important milestone to realizing this dream."24. Some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others because ______.A. their biological clock is not powerful enoughB. the most definitive evidence has been foundC. they have a higher actual age than othersD. they ages at a relatively faster biological rate25. How was the study conducted?A. By collecting and analyzing dataB. By interviewing lots of peopleC. By researching previous studiesD. By studying different lifestyles26.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. We all should keep healthy lifestyleB. Geneticist finds anti-aging interventionsC. Biological clock predicts life expectancyD. Horvath builds an important milestone3.As a Chinese saying goes, “Taste is actually a memory of childhood”. Local specialty food may not be popular among all people, but it offers outsiders a glimpse of local culture and history.Gongcheng “oil tea” is such a kind of food that would be considered “weird” by ma ny first-time visitors to the remote county in the north of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Many people dislike its bitter and astringent（涩的）flavor when they take a sip.“It felt like drinking Chinese herbal medicine. I never expected that I wou ld gradually accept it afterwards, and even become addicted to it,” said a traveler surnamed Zhang who comes from Shijiazhuang in northern China’s Hebei province.Langshan village is said to be the birthplace of Gongcheng “oil tea” whose ideal ingredients are green tea and fermented tea. The village has preserved well its buildings and roads dating back to late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), as well as its traditional way of making the special tea.Lin Fengyou, 60, introduced the cooking process. She looks younger than her age, and attributes this to the benefits of drinking “oil tea” throughout the year.The first procedure is to use a wooden hammer to pound the tea whileheating it in an iron pot, and then add edible oil and boiled water afterwards. She filters off the solid residues（余渣）, and pours the glue-like green tea soup into bowls. Then, she adds salt, caraway seed, green onion, dried rice, fried groundnuts, sliced taro and fried beans.The taste of the “oil tea” is a mixture of the distin ctive flavors of all its ingredients. Local people usually eat it together with glutinous rice（糯米）balls, rice dumplings and glutinous rice cake.The villagers consume “oil tea” three times a day. The tea soup is a healthy and refreshing food. “The tea soup to us is coffee to Westerners”, said Lin. “But it is tastier.”28. Many first-time visitors may find “oil tea” ______ when taking a sip.A. popularB. strangeC. addictedD. beneficial29. What can we learn about Lin Fengyou according to the passage?A. She never expected that she would gradually accept “oil tea”.B. She is one of the reasons why the special tea has been preserved.C. She thinks drinking “oil tea” throughout the year makes her look younger.D. She drinks “oil tea” three times every day and considers coffee tastier.30. Which is the correct order of cooking “oil tea” according to Lin Fengyou?a. pour the glue-like green tea soup into bowlsb. heat the tea in an iron pot and pound the teac. add salt, caraway seed, green onion, dried rice, etcd. add edible oil and boiled watere. filter off the solid residuesA. bdeacB. dbaceC. acebdD. beadc31.

You canpicture the scene of the man--it is usually a man--driving blindly around an unfamiliar town looking for an address he doesn’t know. 37 And he could get to his appointment on time. It is obvious to everybody in such a case that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but rather the sensible thing to do.38 For example, you are looking for a new job and need to write your resume（简历）. If your pride prevents you from getting help and you just do the writing yourself, it may well cost the opportunity you are seeking. Similarly, when you just started a new job, you often don’t want to admit that you haven’t got the knowledge to finish a particular task, so you keep going and eventually make things worse than they were. This may lead to a diminishing（贬低）of you in the eyes of the boss. 39Now you can see that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but is the sensible and mature thing to do. 40 Making your life easier by asking for and using knowledgeable help is not a sign of weakness, but is actually quite a clever thing to do.A. What’s worse, you are most likely to lose the new job.B. Actually speaking, asking for help is not a sign of weakness.C. There are times when you know you don’t have the relevant experience.D. If only he would stop and ask for directions, he could save lots of time.E. However, many people tend to make mistakes over and over when help is available.F. You will also recognize expert help would save your time, energy and money.G. You can accustom yourself to asking for help sooner or later.2. I’ve dreamed of becoming a writer since I was a teenager.
