She wasusually her own worst critic, but today Adriana was pleased with what she saw. Sunset was her best work yet! Not that her classmates would agree. Their reaction to her abstract art was always "What's that supposed to be?" or "Arists use brushes to paint, not knives, string and cloth." Sill, she drt care. Adriana pinted to please hrser, not ohers.When she showed the work to Mr. Marcus, her middle school art teacher, the next day, he shook his head and said semly, "Please Adriana, I've had enough of tis." Amyone hearing this comment and its lone would naurally think Mr. Marcus was citcing her work, but it was his fustration speaking. He loved Adriana's paintings and had repeatedly beged her to show them pubiely. She always reiused.As her middle school graduation approached, however, Adriana began worrying about university. Her parents would cover her study fees, but Adriana planned to pay for her university books, art supplies and accomodation herself. So, this time, when Mr. Marcus made the sugstion, Adriana areed. A dsielieving grin appeared on Mr Marcus's face.The fllowin day, after checking the newspapers and vsiting several local real estate oflices, Adriana and Mr. Marcus wandered around the town loking for a suitable location. Finally, though, they could not find anything within thein price range.At the day's end, the pair entered a small coffee shop to rest. Mr. Marcus could see the disappointment on Adriana's face and, as a woman came to take their order, said, "Don't worry. We'll find somewhere to show your art." On hearing this, the woman said,“Did you say art? You know we show local arists' works right here in the cafie," pointing to the paintings hanging on the walls.“Bring a few of your pices around tomorrow for me to look at. I'm Susan by the way, the owner." After thanking Susan for her offer, Adriana and Mr. Marcus left the cafe in amazement.The next morning Adriana brought along Sunser and Mr: Marcus the two paintings ofAdriana's he'd purchased cartier that year. Susan studied the paintings in silence, concentrating hard on each one. After what felt like a lfetime she turned to Adriana and said, Td be honoured to hang these in my cafe."24.

Adria fnallyl found a place to show her artwork mainly because of.A. friendly encouragementB. strong determinationC. careful planningD. good luckCAs we continue to explore farther out into our solar system and beyond, the question of humans living on other planets ofien comes up. Manned bases on the Moon or Mars for example, have longbeen a dream of many. There is a natural desire to explore as far as we can go, and also to extend humanity' s presence on a permanent or at least semi-permanent basis. In order to do this, however,itis ncessary to adapt to dfferent extreme enironments On the Moon for example, a colony must beself-sustaining and protect its inhabitants from the airless, harsh environment outside.Mars, though, is dfferent. While future bases could adapt to the Martian environment over time, there is also the possibility of modifying the surrounding environment instead of just Co- existing with it. This is the process of trraforming - adjusting Mars' atmosphere and environment tomake it more Farth-like. But the bigger question is, should we?One of the main issues is whether Mars has any native life or not and if it does, should it be preserved as much as possible? If the answer is yes, then largc-scale human settlements on Mars should be completely of-limits. Small colonies might be fine, but living on Mars should not be at theexpense of any native habitats, if they exist. If Mars is home to any indigenous life, then trraformingshould be a non-issue; it simply should not be done.What if Mars is lifeless? Even if no life exists there, that untouched and unique alien environment needs to be preserved as it is as much as possible. We' ve already done too much damage here on our own planet. By studying Mars and other planets and moons in their current natural state, we can learn so much about their history and also learn more about our own world. Weshould appreciate the diferences of other worlds instad of just transfoming them to suit our own ambitions.28. What is the best title for the text?A. Is there life on Mars?B. Can we adapt to Mars?C. Should we terraform Mars?D. Are Mars and Earth So Different?29. What does the author think we should do if life is found on Mars?A. Ensure that it's not harmed.B. Negotiate with the Martians.C. Change the unpopulated regions.D. Assess the advantages and disadvantages.30. What does the undertined word "indigenous" in paragrapb 3 mean?A. Complex.B. Native.C. Foreign. .D. Ielligent.31. How does the author develop his ideas in the text?A. By referring to others' research.B. By evaluating diferent planets.C. By justifying the benefts of trraforming.D. By arguing in suppopt of one viewpoint.DAfter 400 years, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is still widely celebrated as a great crafterof language and playwright (剧作家). But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting impact on theatre. While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is rightly considered China's greatest playwright and is highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jjiangxi Province, and worked as a government official until, in 1598 and aged 49, he retired to focus on writing, Unike Shakespeare's large body of plays and poems, Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, A Dream under a Southern Bough, Dream of Handan and The Peony Pavilion - widely considered to be his masterpiece. In the ltter three, much of the story is told through dream sequences. Tang used these scencs to explore human emotions in ways that challenged the feudal system of his time. It isa similar dream structure that we find in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.Tang lived towards the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and, similarly to Shakespeare,his lasting success was partly due to the growth of theatre as an artistic practice during his lifetime.As in Shakespeare's England, it became hugely popular in China, with public theatres opening in different cities and traveling performance groups becoming common. Theatrical audiences startedto populate open publie spaces, and theatre as a popular form of entertainment found its place outside palaces. However, unlike in Shakespeare's England, there was hardly any mixing of therich with commoners at theatrical events.During this tine, the way in which play-texts were enjoyed, spread and performed also changed. Iitally, Chinese dramas had an emphasis on poetic language and were distributed in book form, to be read like novels. They were seldom, if ever, performned. However, from the mid-16th century, kunqu operan, a form of musical drama, spread from southerm China to become asymbol of Chinese culture.While Tang and Shakespeare lived a world away from each other, they share in common the humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for language, a lasting popularity - and theanniversary during which we still celebrate them.32. Why does the writer refer to Shakespeare throughout this article about Tang?A. To compare the writing styles of the writers.B. To emphasize Tang's importance in literature.C. To assess the achievements of these two great writers.D. To examine the diferent infuences of Tang and Shakespeare.33. What distinguishes The Purple Hairpin from Tang's other plays?A. It docs not rely heavily on dream scenes.B. It is widely considered to be his best work.C. It was the only play to be publicly performed.D. It callnged the feudal system of ancient China.34. What characteristic was shared by both English and Chinese theatre during Tang's lifetime?A. Music and poetry were present in most performances.B. The popularity of public theatrical performances grew rapidly.c. Diferent social classes ofen atended the same performances.D. Most plays were written to be read as novels rather than perfomed.35. Which of the fllowing would the author probably agree with?A. Tang's plays were superior to his poems.B. Tang is more widely read than Shakespeare.C. Tang is the best playwright in Chinese history.D. Tang and Shakespeare knew of cach other's works.第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分455分)第一节(共20小题:每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A. B. C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题:卡上将该项涂黑。

AMama and I spend mornings cleaning up the dirt that blows into our house. Mama says all the dust is due to the drought. The dirt sifts into everything. It covers our clothes. We have to wash the dishes before each meal. We rarely drive the truck because Papa fears the dust from the road will ruin the motor.When my sister, Faye, and I walk to school, we wear kerchiefs over our mouths so we don’t breathe in the dirt. On days when the air is so bad that they close the school, we stay home and help Mama put wet sheets over the windows. But the dirt always finds a way in.Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After lunch, Papa headed out to the field to check on the cattle while I played with Faye in the yard. The temperature suddenly dropped. I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust. All the birds flew away. “I must warn Papa,” I thought to myself. To avoid her panicking, I gently told Faye to go back inside where she would be safe, and then headed off to the field.The storm hit so fast, and in an instant the day turned into night. By the time I entered the cow field the fine sand was whipping across my face. I screamed for Papa, hoping my voice would lead him back.The dirt and sand stung my skin like a thousand bees. Although I was terrified, I refused to turn back. My dad was stranded and needed my help. Covering my face with one hand, I groped my way toward the truck and opened the door. First I tried turning the truck’s lights on and off, hoping that Papa would see them flashing, but the sandstorm let no light escape. Then I pushed the horn again and again, so Papa would hear it. I pushed until I had no more strength in my arms.Suddenly, Papa’s face appeared at the window. My heart leaped with surprise and relief. He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me. He then pulled me into his arms and said, “Oh, Iris, you saved me!”Finally, the wind subsided and the dust began to settle. Dirt was piled up to the window on one side of the truck and halfway up the door on the other. Papa kicked against the door, opening it far enough to let us out.Sand and soil drifts were everywhere, but we were safe.21. What is the main function of the first two paragraphs?A.

He wanted to make sure the animals were fine.D. He planned to bring in the cattle before the storm.23. How did Iris save her father?A. By warning him to run away.B.

Sunflower Galaxy — galaxy with multiple arms radiating from its bright core.CThe Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route of the ancient world. This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed the exchange of goods, technology, and ideas between the two civilizations. Although merchants could make huge profits travelling the road, it was not without risk.The main Silk Road started in Chang’an (known today as Xi’an), the early Han capital. Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China’s northwestern provinces. After this, they woul d face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth. This feature made it easier for traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklamakan Desert. Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink. These places also promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there. Usually, the rest stops were placed within a day’s journey of each other. In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert, which would make them targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road.Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe. Whilst this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without its perils.28. The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to ________.A. making huge profitsB. traveling the Silk RoadC. exchanging goods and ideasD. connecting different civilizations29. Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts?A. The desert’s surface was easier to walk on.B. Camels for transportation were easier to find.C. It was smaller and could be crossed in less time.D. There were more natural water sources available.30. What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert?A. Travelers were offered free accommodation.B. They were located around the edges of the desert.C. Travelers staying there were often attacked by criminals.D. They were shared by travelers from different countries.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. The origins of the Silk Road.B. The benefits of the Silk Road.C. The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.D. The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.DLet’s begin with the story: King Hiero contracts the ancient Greek polymath Archimedes (阿基米德) to detect fraud in the manufacture of a golden crown. Archimedes accepts the challenge and, during a subsequent trip to the public baths, realizes that the more his body sinks into the water, the more water is displaced—making the displaced water an exact measure of his volume. Realizing he has hit upon a method to determine whether the King’s crown was made of gold or silver, the young Greek leaps out of the bath and rushes home naked crying “Eureka! Eureka!” Or, transla ted: “I’ve found it! I’ve found it!”Too bad, however, Archimedes probably never uttered the phrase in that way.First and foremost, Archimedes himself never wrote about this episode, although he spent plenty of time detailing the laws of buoyancy (浮力). The oldest authority for the naked-Archimedes eureka story is Vitruvius, a Roman writer, who included the tale in his introduction to his ninth book of architecture. “Vitruvius may have gotten it wrong,” says Chris Schmitt, a mathematician at the University of Berlin and a self-described Archimedes fan. “The method attributed to Archimedes in the story works in theory so it sounds right, but when you actually try it, you find that the real world gets in the way.”In fact, Schmitt is one of a long line of scientists, including Galileo, who have read the account and thought, “That can’t be right.” As Galileo wrote, Archimedes could have achieved a far more precise result using his own law of buoyancy and an accurate scale. In fact, the surface tensi on of water can make the volume of a light object like a crown immeasurable. “There may be some truth to it,” Schmitt adds. “Archimedes did measure the volume of things but the eureka moment was maybe due to his original discovery concerning buoyance, not to sitting in the bathtub and then running through the streets naked.”Much like Newton’s apple, the exclamation persists because of the enduring power of the story: a golden crown, a life in the balance, a naked mathematician. The suspect foundations of the eureka moment take nothing away from the word’s ability to uniquely and concisely convey the flash of inspiration.32. According to the first paragraph, how would Archimedes measure the volume of the crown?A. He would weigh himself with and without the crown.B. He would weigh the crown first and then put it into water.C. He would go to the public baths wearing the crown on his head.D. He would sink the crown into water and measure the water displaced.33. What did Galileo probably think of the naked-Archimedes eureka story?A. He believed the word “eureka” was said in another situation.B. He suspected Archimedes didn’t run through the street naked.C. He doubted Archimedes carried out the experiment independently.D. He thought Archimedes would not have used the method described.34. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?A. The word “eureka” is still widely used today.B. The word “eureka” is now a formal scientific term.C. Most people accept the authenticity of the original story.D. People are still inspired by the achievements of Archimedes.35. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce the famous scientist Archimedes.B. To examine the credibility of the eureka story.C. To explain how the word “eureka” was created.D. To urge people not to use the word “eureka” anymore.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。

AA decreasing birthrate depends to a large extent on the availability and use of birth control and on high living levels that make the production of additional children to provide necessary and inexpensive labor unnecessary. Family planning is a national policy in many industrial countries，such as Japan and most of European countries. As a result，in most cases the birthrate has decreased. Many developing countries have followed the lead of India (which has since 1952 conducted an extensive，but not totally successful，birth control program) in trying to promote family planning as a national policy. These countries include China，Kenya，Pakistan，Turkey，Egypt，and Chile.In the United States，facts of the population question，such as birth control and abortion，are among the most bitterly debated subjects. The United States has disagreed strongly at times with the use of foreign aid appropriations (拨款) for family planning overseas and doing that is thought against human rights; family planning in the country is mainly run by private groups such as Planned Parenthood.A number of non-governmental organizations concerned with population growth have also appeared. Zero Population Growth，an educational group founded in 1970，aims to stop population growth，first in the United States and then in other countries. On the international level，besides the International Planned Parenthood Federation，the United Nations Economic and Social Council provides birth control aid to underdeveloped nations.()1.All the following countries try to take family planning as a national policy EXCEPT.A.KenyaB.PakistanC.ChileD.Russia()2.In many industrial countries the birthrate decreases because .A.they take measures in family planningB.they don’t want to provide necessary and cheap laborC.they want to live a life of high living standardsD.they don’t want to bear more additional children()3.What does the underlined word “abortion” probably mean in the second paragraph?A.Food supplies.B.An operation to end a pregnancy.C.Foreign aid.D.High growth of population birthrate.。

On the Internet.BHaley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last yearshe bought a plain(朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time. Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some color1 ed markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest.After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200, 000 times.For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress off Amazon for less than $ 20 about six months ago and pre-washed the dress before she started the project. She used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project, I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry.”“Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T-shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for your kindness and support,” she wrote on Facebook.Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy. “We don't have art in our school, so, I always try to do little creative projects when possible.”4. What did Haley use the plain white dress to do?A. To teach her students painting.B. To prepare for her presentation.C. To ask her students to draw on it.D. To help her students with their homework.5. What do we know about the finished dress?A. It took Haley by surprise.B. It is kept by Haley at home.C. It is the product of a new idea.D. It has enjoyed popularity online.6.

To exciteher students' creativity.CExperts are warning about the risks of extremely picky(挑剔的)eating after a teenager living on a diet of chips and crisps developed lasting sight loss. Eye doctors inBristolcared for the 17-year-old after his sight had gone to the point of blindness. Tests showed he had serious vitamin deficiency(缺乏). Dr. Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said, “His diet was basically a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on crisps and sometimes white bread and ham, and not really any fruit and vegetables.”The teenager saw his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell. At that time he suffered from vitamin B12 deficiency, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet. Three years later, he was taken to theBristolEyeHospitalbecause of progressive sight loss.He was not overweight or underweight, but he had lost minerals from his bones, which was really quite shocking for a boy of his age. In terms of his sight loss, he met the standards of being blind. “He had blind spots right in the middle of his sight,” said Dr Denize Atan, “That means he can’t drive and would find it reallyarduousto read, watch TV or recognize faces.”Dr Denize Atan said that parents should learn about the harm that can be caused by picky eating, and turn to experts for help. For those who are concerned , she advised, “It’s best not to be anxious about picky eating , and instead calmly introduce one or two new foods with every meal.” She said multivitamin tablets can supplement(补充) a diet, but cannot take the place of eating healthily. “It’s much better to take in vitamins through a varied and balanced diet,” she said, adding that too manycertain vitamins , including vitamin A, can be harmful ,“so you don’t want to overdo it.”8. What does Dr Denize Atan imply in paragraph 1?A. The diet of the boy is not balanced.B. Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins.C. Picky eating is common among teenagers.D. The cause of the boy’s disease is unknown.9. Why did the boy go to see his doctor at the age of 14?A. To improve his poor diet.B. To get some help to lose weight.C. To be treated for his discomfort.D. To slow down his progressive sight loss.10. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Important.B. Easy.C. Necessary.D. Difficult.11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. Reasons why the boy is seriously ill.B.Suggestions for the boy’s family to care for him.C. Advice for parents worried about picky eating.D. Waysof taking in enough vitamins and minerals.DOver the years, NASA has successfully sent several rovers (飞行器) to Mars. While the science laboratories continue to provide important information on the Red Planet, they keep the space exploration rovers staying closeto the original landing place.To get a more comprehensive (详尽的) view of Mars, the US Space Agency plans to make a small test helicopter with the Mars 2020 Rover, which will be sent off in July 2020.The football-sized “marscopter” weighs about four pounds.It can fly at about ten times the speed of helicopters on Earth. The light weight and fast speed are important for the helicopter to be able to fly in the thin Mars atmosphere, which is about just one percent of that of Earth. “To make it fly in that thin Mars atmosphere, we had to make everything ready, and make it as light as possible while being as strong and powerful as it can possibly be. “Mimi Aung, Mars helicopter project manager, said in a meeting.Upon landing on the Red Planet, the Mars 2020 Rover will find a proper location to send of the helicopter. The helicopter will start with a short climb, no higher than 10 feet, and hover (盘旋) for just 30 seconds before landing back on the Mars surface. If all goes well, five more flights of longer distances, for 90 seconds each, will be conducted over the next 30 days. The short journeys will be recorded by a small camera and sent back to the scientists on Earth.If the plan goes on well, the first helicopter to fly in another world, will open up a whole new way to explore Mars. The Mars helicopter's first flight will be a great invention. For those of us whose research is about flight, that would be a wonderful, historic moment.12. To fly in thin Mars atmosphere，we should make the helicopter_______.A. strong and heavyB. heavy and fastC. light and fastD. strong and slow13. How many times will the helicopter fly?A. Three timesB. Four timesC. Five timesD. Six times14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It’s interesting to fly in another world.B. I' s important to fly in another world.C. The plan to fly the helicopter goes on well.D. The helicopters first flight is successful.15. What may be the best title for the passage?A. To send a helicopter to Mars in 2020B. To send a rover to Mars in 2020C. To live in the thin Mars atmosphereD. To send back records to scientists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。

Ordinary people shared the dragons* blessings through celebrations.such as the Duanwu Festival's dragon boat races and dragon dances performed during Chinese New Year.Dragons have also entered our daily vocabulary.

广东省广州市2020届普通高中毕业班英语综合测试(二)
广东省广州市2020届普通高中毕业班英语综合测试（二）一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） (共4题；共30分)1．（6分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
We can all think of times when people didn't make remembering easy. Directions given at machine-gun speed. New people introduced in a flood of names and handshakes. Whenever information is passed between people, it's all too easy for it to go in one ear and straight out of the other. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. Look around you, and you'll see parents who can get their children to remember exactly what they were told; advertisers who know how to imprint their sales messages on our brains.So, how do they do? Their secrets can be summed up in four simple words: focus, imagery, reasons and engagement.FOCUS means ensuring that the person you're talking to can concentrate on learning. Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information. Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their memory to cope.IMAGERY helps information to stick. Do everything your can to make other people "see" the ideasyou're giving them. Add visual details to directions, and illustrate abstract concepts with metaphors.REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and be explicit about why. Maybe this information will save them time, protect them from embarrassment, or let them enjoy a particular experience or event.EMGAGEMENT requires you to ask questions. Point out links between new concepts and things listeners already know. Activate their senses, spark their curiosity, get them doing something physical, or simply make them laugh.The next time you've got an important message to pass on, put some of these techniques to the test. You'll discover that there are benefits on both sides when you know how to FIRE people's memories into action.（1）（2分）What is the main purpose of the text?A．To report new research.B．To provide some advice.C．To explain a problem.D．To define some terms.（2）（2分）How can you do to help a listener "focus" on what you are saying?A．Select the appropriate time to raise the topic.B．Do something humorous to get their attention.C．Make sure the information provided is correct.D．Speak as slowly and clearly as you possibly can.（3）（2分）Explaining to listeners why your information is important is an example of ________.A．FOCUS B．IMAGERY C．REASONS D．ENGAGEMENT 2．（8分）阅读理解Special boxes lie at the bottom of my locked filing cabinet. Deposited there are important letters and cards collected throughout my life, from my grandparents, school friends, parents, wife and son. Since the invention of e-mail though, they've been few and far between.Tonight is New York's Eve 2029 and there's a very special box of letters I want to look at. But first there's something I have to do – The Ritual (惯例).I go to my trusted computer and start. I begin to type: Dear -- . I leave the name blank for now, anticipating the thrill of typing it in. "I hope you are well and I wonder how this will find you. And you still planning to move to that villa in Portugal? Did your son marry Fiona? Is your mother still alive? Questions surge into my mind.For the next two hours I sit writing. About what I've been doing for the last year, my failing health, my increasing wealth and sometime difficult marriage. Then about my goals and ambitions. Will he be interested? Do I climb Mt. Kilimanjaro? Do I get that novel published? the one that's been rejected more times than I carte to think about.Finally, it's finished. 11:30 pm. I fill in the recipient's name, print my letter, sign and address it and then seal it up with tape. I then delete the document and empty the trash folder – to avoid the possibility of temptation. That completes the ritual!I walk over to my "special box". It contains ten long, white, thick envelopes, all with the same handwriting. I place the one I have just written in at the back and take out the one at the front. It's dated 2019, and labelled "to be opened 31st December 2029".The cycle is finally complete! I open it, trembling with anticipation. I begin to read, my eyes tearing up a little as I do so. Throughout the last ten long, eventful years, of life, death, joy and heartbreak, it has been waiting patiently in this box for me, though I now have no memory of ever having written it.（1）（2分）Why does the author receive fewer "important letters" these days ?A．He has moved from his original address.B．He is rarely in contact with his friends and family.C．People communicate with each other less often than before.D．Electronic communication has largely replaced physical letters.（2）（2分）Who does the underlined word "he" in paragraph 4 refer to?A．The author himself.B．The author's son.C．The author's school friend.D．The author's book publisher.（3）（2分）Why does the author probably delete the completed letter from his computer?A．So that no one else will be able to read it.B．So that he won't read it ahead of schedule.C．Because he decides at last not to send it.D．Because he wants forget what has happened.（4）（2分）How does the author feel as he is about to open his special letter?A．Relieved B．Moved C．Excited D．Afraid3．（8分）阅读理解Texas rancher (牧场主) Charles Goodnight had a problem. He needed skilled cowboys to drive his herd of two thousand longhorn cattle to New Mexico to be sold. He couldn't offer high wages. He couldn't promise easy jobs or even nice weather. But he decided that decent, warm meals might enticemen to work for him.In the mid-to-late 1800s, cattle drives sometimes took three to four months, and once the drive began, there were no stores for hundreds of miles. All the food and supplies needed for the trip were carried on two-wheeled carts. Usually, the cowboy's food was boring and unappetizing.Goodnight went to work and solved the problem. His invention of a mobile kitchen, the chuck wagon (四轮马车), got its name from the cowboy word for food, "chuck." Goodnight took an old army wagon and rebuilt it with Osage orange, a wood so tough that Indians used it to make bows. The wagon's iron axles were stronger than the wooden ones found on standard wagons, and the wider wheels lasted longer. Besides food, coffee sugar and eating utensils, it held everything from first-aid supplies to needles and thread. It even contained cooking stove.The first chuck wagon was an instant success. Eighteen cowhands joined Goodnight and his partner, Oliver Loving, to drive the cattle to New Mexico for a handsome profit. The route they took—later called the Goodnight-Loving Trail—became one of the most heavily used cattle trails in the Southwest.The chuck wagon soon was the backbone of all successful cattle drives. Other ranchers created theirown moving kitchens, and eventually the Studebaker Company produced chuck wagons that sold for $75 to $100 apiece, about $1,000 today.The chuck wagon was much more than a mobile kitchen. Sometimes called "the trail drive's mother ship," it was like a magnet that drew the men together. The wagon and the ground around it were the cowboy's home. There he enjoyed hot meals, a warm fire, and good companionship. He could also get a bandage, a haircut, or horse liniment for his sore muscles. And there, under the stars and around the chuck wagon, he crawled into his bedroll each night.（1）（2分）Who does the underlined word "entice" in paragraph 1 mean?A．Inform B．Direct C．Enable D．Attract（2）（2分）Why were cattle drives in the mid-to-late 1800s so tough?A．All the cattle were carried on two-wheeled vehicles.B．Fresh food supplies were hard to find on the drive.C．There were not enough cowboys to drive the cattle.D．There was no place to store food and necessary supplies.（3）（2分）What do we know about Goodnight's chuck wagon from the text?A．It was stronger than the ordinary wagons.B．It was mainly used to provide first aid.C．It could be changed into a sleeping area.D．It was sold to other ranchers by Goodnight.（4）（2分）What is the best title for the text?A．The Cowboys' ProblemB．Goodnight-Loving TrailC．The Cowboys' Home on WheelsD．Exciting Cattle Drives in the West4．（8分）阅读理解Depending on what language you speak, your eye perceives colours – and the world – differently than someone else.The human eye can physically perceive millions of colours. But we don't all recognise these colours in the same way. Some people can't see differences in colours – so called colour blindness – due to a defect or absence of the cells in the retina that are sensitive to high levels of light: the cones. But the distributionand density of these cells also varies across people with ‘normal vision', causing us all to experience the same colour in slightly different ways.Language affects our colour perception too. Different languages and cultural groups also categorize colours differently. Some languages like Dani, spoken in Papua New Guinea, and Bassa, spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone, only have two terms, dark and light. Dark roughly translates as cool in those languages, and light as warm. So colours like black, blue, and green are glossed as cool colours, while lighter colours like white, red, orange and yellow are glossed as warm colours. Other cultural groups have no word for "colours" at all.Remarkably, most of the world's languages have five basic colour terms. As well as dark, light, and red, these languages typically have a term for yellow, and a term that refers to both blue and green. That is, these languages do not have separate terms for "green" and "blue" but use one term to describe both colours. Also, Russian, Greek, Turkish and many other languages have two separate terms for blue – one referring exclusively to darker shades, and one referring to lighter shades.The way we perceive colours can also change during our lifetime. Greek speakers, who have two fundamental colour terms to describe light and dark blue, are more likely to see these two colours as the same after living for long periods of time in the UK. There, these two colours are described in English by the same fundamental colour term: blue.Different languages can influence our perceptions in all areas of life, not only colour. Scientists are now investigating how different languages changes the way we perceive everyday objects. Ultimately, this happens because learning a new language is like giving our brain the ability to interpret the world differently （1）（2分）What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2?A．The medical causes of people's colour blindness.B．The different types of colours that people can see.C．The physical causes of variation in people's vision.D．The cultural reasons for differences in colour perception.（2）（2分）What colours are commonly referred to using the same word by many language groups?A．Yellow and red.B．Warm and cold.C．Dark and light.D．Blue and green.（3）（2分）What do we know about the Russian language?A．It classifies colours as either warm or cold.B．It has more than one word for the colour blue.C．It mainly describes objects in terms of their colour.D．It has only five basic terms to describe colours.（4）（2分）Why does the author mention Greek speakers living in England?A．To illustrate how social context can affect our senses.B．To provide an example of cultural miscommunication.C．To highlight the variation in the words used to describe colour.D．To demonstrate how languages can combine to produce new words.二、任务型阅读（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分） (共5题；共10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。
