AHot Technology Products at CES2020The consumer electronics show,or CES,presents new technology developments annually.Here are some latest products launched at CES2020.The Sero TVSamsung introduced a TV that can be used to watch video designed for a smartphone. The Sero TV does this by turning itself from the normal TV position to an upright position that looks like the shape of a phone.The‘[V can connect to mobile devices to play video directly from the phone.Smart waste canA company called TOWNEW presented;、waste can designed for the home that does a lot of the dirty work on its own.When the can is full,the user touches a button to activate the machine's smart abilities.The device then completely closes off the waste bag inside,puts a new one in place,all by itself,and raises its top so the user can pick up and throw away the bag.Invisible car hood(引擎盖)Automobile industry company Continental showed off a new technology that seems to make the front end of a vehicle disappear.The technology,called"Transparent Hood,"aims to make driving safer and easier.Cameras provide video of the areaunderneath the vehicle,permitting the driver to see objects and road conditions that might present danger.Wearable air purifierA company called AōAir introduced a wearable air purifier.Designed to be a high-tech face covering to block pollution,the device pulls air through a filtration(过滤)system and then uses fans to create a small area of clean air at its front,allowing the air to be purified-without the need for a solid container.21.Which company's product will appeal to video-loving mobile users?A.Samsung.B.TOWNEW.C.Continental.D.AōAir.22.What's the main advantage of Smart waste can?A.It saves users the bother of packing waste.B.It allows users to sort rubbish easily.C.It breaks down waste automatically.D.It contains numerous waste bags.23.What is special about the air purifier?plex.B.Costly.C.Waterproof.D.Convenient.BAn airline passenger ensured a20-year-old man was reunited with his lost wallet-along with a little extra something to make up for their time apart.Hunter Shamatt first lost his wallet while he was on a Frontier Airlines flight from Omaha to attend his sister's wedding in Las Vegas earlier this month.On realizing his wallet was lost,he contacted the airline to see if anyone had turned it in-but to no avail.Since the wallet contained his ID,a signed paycheck,his debit card and$60in cash,he"feared the worst".Shortly after the flight,however,Hunter was shocked to receive a package in the mail from an unknown sender.Inside was his wallet-along with an additional$40 in cash."Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver-row12,seat F stuck between the seat and wall,"read a letter in the package."Thought you might want it hack.All the best.PS:I rounded your cash up to an even$100so you could celebrate getting your wallet hack.Have fun!"Hunter's mother,Jeannie,posted a photo of the letter to social media in hopes that they would be able to track down the sender and thank them for their kindness. All they had to go on was that the letter was sent from Applied Underwriters in Omaha and the sender's initials were signed:"T.B".The Good Man was later identified as Todd Brown,a father-of-five who was delighted at the chance to"have a little fun"with helping out a hard-working stranger.Brown says that he often tries to do good deeds without any recognition,thus why he didn't sign his full name on the letter,but Jeannie later insisted on praising the Nebraska native on social media."I try to teach my children to do the right things in life,help people when you can despite the outcome,"she wrote on Facebook."This story is more about restoring faith in people than anything".24.What does the underlined word"to no avail"in paragraph2mean?A.Under discussion.B.In vain.C.Beyond belief.D.At a loss.25.Why did Jeannie upload a picture of the letter to social media?A.To throw light on the truth.B.To draw attention to Hunter's lost wallet.C.To find out the sender to express gratefulness.D.To sing high praise for the sender's generosity.26.Which of the following best describes Brown?A.Innocent.B.Warm-hearted.C.Romantic.D.Easy-going.27.What's the best title for the text?A.Hunter Shamatt-a Lucky ManB.Young Passenger Reunites with SisterC.Helping Needy People Is a Great VirtueD.Stranger Returns Lost Wallet with More Cash InsideCThe outbreak of locusts,an insect that mainly lives in Africa and Asia,is the worst experienced by Kenya in70years.The crowds are some three times the size of New York City,eating their way through thousands of acres of crops and animal grassland and destroying livelihoods in the process."These hungry things are alarming,"says Keith Cressman,the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's senior locust forecasting officer."A crowd the size of Manhattan can,in a single day,cat the same amount of food as everyone in New York and California combined."Desert locusts are infamous for their ability to breed(繁育)rapidly in large numbers every three months.And with some help from the wind,they can travel as much as80miles a day.Most years,the insects stay in African deserts.However,under the right environmental conditions,they can multiply quickly,spread as much as400 times every six months and cause extensive destruction if left unchecked."The insect has the ability to take advantage of good conditions."Cressman says.The"good conditions"the scientist is referring to began in mid-2018when a rainstorm from the Indian Ocean struck a remote area of the Arabian Peninsula known as the"Empty Quarter".Normally,it would dry out within a short period,killing most of the locust population,which depends on green plants for food.However,in late2018,a second rainstorm struck the same region.The huge sandy area got wet, which is exactly what desert locusts need to lay their eggs and breed.The extra food supply caused the population to explode for the second time in six months.Luckily,the locusts,experts say,are easy to control with chemicals.Kenya badly needs equipment and a steady supply of chemicals to effectively wipe out the massive insects.Hopefully,leaders worldwide will recognize the tough situation and contribute generously to control the locust outbreak.28.What can we infer from what Cressman says in paragraph2?A.Little can dull locusts'appetite.B.Urgent action must be taken against locusts.C.Overpopulation in big cities leads to food shortages.D.New York and California should meet challenges together.29.What is paragraph3mainly about?A.Locusts'living conditions.B.Locusts'destructive effect.C.Locusts'daily travel distance.D.Locusts'super reproductive power.30.For what purpose does the author mention"good conditions"?A.To explain immediate causes of the locust outbreak.B.To remind locals to preserve the environment.C.To analyze how to prevent locust outbreak.D.To highlight the strength of two rainstorms.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。

It was raining lightly,which added to his difficulty of picking up Michael’s smell.Having kept searching for hours,Gandalf was wet all over,breathing heavily and looking exhausted.Misha got increasingly anxious.The rescue team were about to stop when Gandalf suddenly slowed down nearby a ruined castle(城堡).With difficulty he climbed over a damaged stone wall and raised his head,barking loudly at Misha.That was an exciting signal and the team rushed over.There lay a boy,still alive, his leg stuck between the stones.Though pale and weak,Michael was recognized at once and instantly saved from between the stones.Seeing him uninjured,everyone sighed with relief.

What advice can you find in Recipes & Remedies?A. how to go on a diet to keep healthyB. how to keep fit through good dietC. how to use food to cure cancerD. how to take drugs to relieve pains3. Where does the passage come from?A. A webpageB. A guideC. A reviewD. A newspaperBA couple of weeks ago, my grandfather was explaining his favorite expression, “Nothing is ever easy.” The following day, as I tried to complete my day’s work, I happened to notice a bumblebee (大黄蜂) on the skylight (天窗). The skylight was particularly high up, but I thought removing the bee would take no more than five minutes. An hour later, the bee still remained. All that had changed was that the living room was a mess and that I was dizzy from looking up into the sunlight. I did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant.It is not only time that we tend to underestimate –we don’t account for unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work in our favor, but we seldom think of all the negative things that could affect us. However, it is important to remember that your day or week or year might not go as planned, and that is completely normal. It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged – even at a task you thought was simple – because that is part of life.If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more manageable.

It’s a very simple but incredibly effective method to protect oneself from a variety of harmful things. In fact, masks have been helping mankind for centuries. Let’s take a look at some mask-related history.1st centuryIn that era, many people in Roman Empire worked underground in mines to support their families. But most of them suffered from and even eventually died of respiratory (呼吸的) illnesses. To address this problem, Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD), a Roman philosopher and naturalist, recommended the use of animal bladder (膀胱) skins to stop dust from being breathed in. Although primitive, his idea was considered the very first recorded mask invention.16th centuryEarly inventions did not stop with Pliny. Many centuries later, Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), proposed using a woven cloth dipped in water over the face to protect against the poisonous chemicals.19th centuryThe design of the mask took a big step forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to patent (注册专利) a protective mask for miners, which was a milestone in face mask history. Masks at this stage were similar to gas masks. Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikulicz-Radecki designed a simple mask composed of one layer of gauze (纱布), recommending medical workers to wear it to prevent infection. That was the first recorded use of a surgical mask.20th centuryIn 1910, an epidemic broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called “Wu’s mask”. Made of two layers of surgical g auze, it could be wrapped around the back of the head and tied in a knot. This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was simple to manufacture (制作) and had a low production cost. Modern explorationWith several outbreaks of infectious diseases and the flu, and the rise of pollution caused by industrial waste, the materials in masks have continued to evolve to better protect its wearer. For example, in 2012 when China suffered from smog, mask models such as N95 and KN90, which can filter out this fine particulate (微粒) matter, became highly popular. In the future, masks will continue to improve, hopefully so will the habits of humans.8. According to the text, why were masks invented?A. To reduce the risk of infection.B. To protect miners from dust.C. To indicate patients with respiratory illnesses.D. To protect workers from harmful chemicals.9. What was considered a milestone in face mask history?A. Using a woven cloth instead of animal skins.B. Getting a patent on protective masks for miners.C. The invention of surgical masks in 1897.D. Using more than one layer of surgical gauze.10. “Wu’s mask” grew popular around the world because _____.A. it could be used multiple timesB. it was simple for people to wearC. it was cheap and easy to manufactureD. it could better protect people from smog11. What is the text mainly about?A. The evolution of masks.B. The benefits of using masks.C. A comparison of different masks.D. The roles masks played at different times.DDuring the outbreak of novel coronavirus, cities are locked down and borders are closed. Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open. And this “open science” is already making a difference.Soon after the epidemic started in China, a research team from Fudan University in Shanghai successfully sequenced (测定序列) the DNA of the virus. But they didn’t keep the information to themselves. Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open-access data platform, so researchers around the world could download them for free and start studying the virus.Due to this openness, pharmaceutical companies across the globe are now able to work at the same time to develop a vaccine (疫苗). “There may be room for multiple different vaccines for different purposes and different a ge groups,” Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security in the US, told Al Jazeera. “The bigger menu we have of vaccines, the more resilient (有适应力的) we’ll be against coronavirus outbreaks in the future.”Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their study results. Remdesivir, a drug originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, is found to be promising in fighting against the novel coronavirus. Currently, two trials of the drug are already underway in China, and the results might be available as soon as April, according to The Verge.This openness in science is going to be even more important in the future. “With climate change, increasing globalization, and population shifts, epidemics will not go away, and might even become more frequent,” Dan Barouch, a Harvard Medical School professor, told Harvard Magazine.He said, “No one group can do everything. It has to be a coordinated approach. But I do think that the world has a greater sense of readiness this time to develop knowledge, drugs,and therapeutics (疗法) very rapidly.”Every epidemic is indeed a crisis, but it can also be a learning opportunity. One redeeming (补偿的) factor of the COVID-19 outbreak is that it is helping science adapt for the better.12. What does the article mainly talk about?A. Coordinated efforts to fight the epidemic.B. Something positive we’ve learned from the epidemic.C. The significance of openness and sharing of scientific knowledge.D. What needs to be done to prevent future epidemics.13. What is the positive effect of the research team from Fudan University placing the genetic sequence of the virus onto GenBank?A. They alerted the world to the danger of the virus.B. They helped remo ve people’s fear of the virus.C. They showed the world how to produce a vaccine.D. They invited collective efforts worldwide to develop a vaccine.13.What is the author’s purpose of mentioning Remdesivir in the text?A. To introduce a possible cure for the epidemic.B. To compare the treatment of Ebola and the novel coronavirus.C. To prove that many drug companies readily share their discoveries.D. To show that the novel coronavirus will soon be contained.14.Which of the following would Dan Barouch probably disagree with?A. Epidemics will be less frequent thanks to scientific development.B. The world is becoming better prepared to deal with epidemics.C. No single group can fight against the epidemics independently.D. The increase in globalization may worsen future epidemics.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。

The Irish traditionally wear something green on this day, as the color is 41 Ireland. Another St Patrick’s Day tradition is for the non-Irish to 42 about the Irish.Usually these jokes will be about Irish stupidity, their famous 43 alcohol, or their reputation for telling tall tales.These characteristics are all based on the most mon Irish stereotypes (成见) that the Irish are hot-tempered drinkers who love to fight and will do anything to avoid a day’s work.The real joke, however, is that these negative Irish stereotypes still exist. These stereotypes may have gone back to the 19th century when they started, but they’re far from 44 today -– with the exception, perhaps of the drinking.Today, the Irish are admired for their storytelling ability, musical talent and strong education. It’s no accident that several of the greatest writers of the 20th century were Irish. Or that many of the most famous music acts of all time, such as singer Enya and rock band U2, were Irish born and bred.So where did the 45 Irish stereotypes e from? They can be traced back to the 19th century, which was a very bad time to be Irish.At that time, Ireland was poverty-stricken and starving. Many Irish moved to the US to escape famine, but there they had to 46 occasionally with their fists for jobs and housing with other immigrant groups. It was on the US’ streets that the Irish 47 for street fighting.However, one bit of the Irish stereotype is still true, their love of drink.

Last week, a guy whom I hadn’t seen since my bachelor (单身汉) party five years ago sent me a friend request．I accepted a nd waited for “Easy E” to send me a greeting of some kind. He had sought me out, after all．I learned from his profile that he was in a relationship and had a son．However, I’m pretty sure we won’t ever write wall-to-wall, let alone e-mail each other．But he’ll remain a friend of’ online until one of us makes a point of’ removing the other from his official list．My pool of friends consists of family members, college buddies, co-workers from past and present, and friends of’ friends. There are 35 in all．If I spent some time uploading old e-mail addresses, I’m confident that I could increase my friend count actually．A person could make a mission out of’reconnecting with childhood friends, former classmates, distant cousins, and those one would like to get to know better．And some people can even handle hundreds of no-screen relationships, keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of’ panions．After all, there are worse fates than having too many friends．Thanks to e-mail, the inability to schedule face-to-face meetings no longer means a friendship must e to a close．But even with e-mail, people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back．That’s normal．People move from school to school, job to job, city to city．You never have to feel guilty for breaking away．Every day, the masterminds of’ Web 2.0 find new ways of’ making human munication easier. However, convenience can be a crutch(拐杖)．Some things shouldn’t be simplified．Talking about friendship, there can be no shortcuts．65．According to Paragraph l, the website is famous because ___________ ．A．it has an interesting name of “ Facebook”B．it helps people get in touch with old friendsC．it can send people a greeting of’ some kindD．it reminds people of ‘events in the past66．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．There are 35 people in the author’s list of’ friends right now．B．The author municates with all the 35 friends by e-mails．C．The list of 35 friends doesn’t include the old e-mail addresses．D．It is not difficult for the author to increase his friend count．67．What does the writer mean by saying “However, convenience can be a crutch(拐杖)”?A．The masterminds of Web 2.0 also sell crutch online．B．Taking a crutch is a new way of’ making friends online．C．Convenience is dangerous for human munication．D．Convenience is not really good for human munication．68．What does the author think of’ the conve nience of’ municating online?A．The technology could not keep true friendship forever．B．The social website of Facebook means nothing at all．C．There will be no ways of making real friends online．D．People will not lose friends with the help of the Facebook．B (每题2分)My eighth grade consisted of 28 classmates．We knew each other so well that most of us could distinguish each other’s handwriting at a glance．Although we grew up together, we still had class outcasts(被抛弃者)．From second grade on, a small group started harassing(骚扰)two or three of the others．I was on e of those two or three, though I didn’t know why．In most cases when children get picked on, they aren’t good at sports or they read too much or they wear the wrong clothes or they are of a different race．But in my class, we all read too much and didn’t know how to play sports．We had also been brought up to carefully respect each other’s race．This is what was so strange about my situation．Usually, people are made outcasts because they are in some way different from the larger group．But in my class, large differences did not exist．It was as if the outcasts were invented by the group out of a need for them．The harassment came in the form of laughter when I talked, and rolled eyes when I turned around．If I was out on the playground and approached a group of people, they often fell silent. Sometimes, someone would not see me ing and I would catch the tail end of a joke at my expense．There was another girl in our class who was perhaps even more rejected than I．She provided the group with a lot of material for jokes. One day one popular girl came up to me to show me something she said I wouldn’t want to miss．We walked to a corner of the playground．Three or four girls there were reading aloud from a small book, which I was told was the girl’s diary．I sat down and, laughing till my sides hurt, heard my voice finally mixed with the others．Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself, eventhough the satisfaction does not last．Looking back, I wonder how I could have participated in making fun of this girl when I knew perfectly well how it felt．If I were in that situation today I would react differently, but I can’t honestly be sure．69．The author was made an outcast because _________．A．she couldn’t play sports as well as othersB．her family belonged to a minority groupC．her classmates found her clothes funnyD．her classmates required an outcast70．How was the author treated as an outcast?A．She was often the target of teasing．B．No one responded to her talking．C．She was refused to approach others．D．Her diary was often made public．71．What did the author do to the girl mentioned in Paragraph 3?A．She showed great sympathy with the girl．B．She joined others in making fun of the girl．C．She stopped the others from hurting the girl．D．She found more materials about the girl for jokes．72．What does the passage intend to tell us?A．Someone is likely to bee an outcast．B．We shouldn’t hit a person when he is down．C．One should pay somebody back in his own way．D．Everyone has a desire to be accepted by others．C (每题2分)Experts in the food industry are thinking a lot about trash(垃圾) these days. Restaurants, colleges, hospitals and other institutions are making up for the rising costs of waste in new ways. Some are tracking their trash with software systems making food in smaller amount or trying to cut down on trash-hauling(托运)costs. Roughly 30% percent of food in the United States goes to waste, costing some $48 billion annually according to a Stockholm International Water Institute study. A xx University of Arizona study estimated that 40 to 50 percent of food in the United States is wasted. Freshman students at Virginia Tech were surprised this year when they entered two of the campus’s biggest dining halls to find there were no cafeteria trays. Getting rid of trays has cut food waste by 38% percent at the cafeterias, said Denny Cochrane, manager of Virginia Tech’s sustainability program. Before the program began, students often grabbled whatever looked good at the canteen, only to find at the table that their eyes were bigger than their stomachs, he said.That same phenomenon often happens at Oregon’s Portland International Airport. Busy travelers often throw half-eaten meals into trash cans, adding dozens of tons of waste that the airport must pay the city to haul away. Now the airport is carrying out a program to install food-only trash carts. The food waste is collected in biodegradabe(可生物分解的) bags and given to the city to use as post(堆肥). Besides being environmentally friendly, the changes may save the airport money. It costs about $82 to have one ton of trash hauled from the airport to the city landfill(垃圾掩埋场). But food waste costs about $48 a ton to haul.Cutting back on the waste can require spending money on software and training. LeanPath,based in Portland, Ore, sells a software system to track food being thrown out. Steve Peterson, head chef at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas, said he was surprised when he installed the LeanPath system and saw the value of food that was going out the back door. To cut costs, Peterson decided to reduce serving sizes. He said customers weren’t bothered by the switch, which has helped him lower food waste by between 15 to 20 percent over 18 month.73. The main reason for people paying attention to food waste is ______________.A. to lower the cost of food wasteB. to save more food for the world.C. to keep the dining room cleanD. to reduce the effort of cooking74. What kind of measure has been taken to cut food waste?A. Making cafeteria at colleges and universities trayless.B. Using software system to trace the location of the trash.C. Trying to remove the food waste little by little.D. Charging higher prices for smaller amount of food.75. What’s the benefit of installing food-only trash cans at the airport?A. Keeping the airport clean and tidy.B. Fastering the process of making trash into post.C. Reducing the cost of removing the trash.D. Reminding the passengers to produce less trash.76. In which way can software help reduce the food waste?A. It can store varieties of measures for people to choose.B. It can help people to be informed of the food waste.C. It can calculate the total amount of the food offered.D. It can connect the food needed with the data of customers.77. What is the passage mainly about?A. Great amount of food is wasted at public places.B. Individuals don’t pay attention to food waste.C. It costs big money to handle food waste.D. Lots of new methods are taken to deal with food waste.Section C: Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.(6%)(请将78--80题答案填写在答题纸上) Forest schools are a type of outdoor education in which children (or adults) visit forests, learning personal, social and technical skills. It has been defined as “an inspirational process that offers children, young people and adults regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning in a woodland environment”.Forest schools use the woods and forests as a means to build independence and self-esteem in school-age children. Topics are broad including the natural environment, for example the role of trees in society, the plex ecosystem supported by a wilderness, and recognition of specific plants and animals. However, the personal skills are considered highly valuable, such as teamwork and problem solving. The woodland environment may be used to learn about more abstract concepts such as mathematics and munication. Forest schools are also called nature schools.Schedules within forest schools vary, but a typical approach is to take school children towoodland for once a week, with 6 week observation period at first. Often a baseline(基线)is produced for each child in terms of areas of their overall development, with particular emphasis on their social and emotional aspects of learning (SEAL). Once the baseline assessment has been produced, the Forest School teachers will then continue with the long term programme over the course of the academic year in order to support the child in their development and learning. The teachers will provide opportunities for each child to develop in areas that have been identified as requiring interventions(介入)or support of any kind. The time and frequency of visits influences the degree of oute most; more time spent in forest schools brings greater benefits. Visits should continue throughout the year, allowing children to experience all weathers and the changing seasons.Forest schools are often “led by the child’s interests” by parison to other outdoor education which “starts with a problem for the children to investigate”.(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statement in about ten words.)78．The goal of forest schools is defined as to __________________in a woodland environment. 79．What personal skills are considered highly valuable in Forest schools?__________________________________________________________________________ 80．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?___________________________________________________________________________第II卷I.阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空,并将答案填写在答题纸标号相应位置上。

期中暨线上教学质量检测试题高二年级科目英语时间90分钟题号一二三四总分得分一阅读理解(每题2分)A篇A drug used to treat severe bleeding could save thousands of lives for mothers giving birth.A global trial of the drug found it reduced the risk of bleeding deaths during child birth by nearly one-third.The study involved20,000women in21countries,mainly in Africa and Asia.The trial was carried out by London’s School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.The drug is called tranexamic acid (氨甲环酸).It is low-cost and researchers say it does not cause serious side effects for mothers or babies.The drug is used to treat mothers for severe bleeding during childbirth,also known as postpartum hemorrhage(产后出血).It is the leading cause of mother’s death worldwide,according to the World Health Organization.Haleema Shakur is the project director of the trial.She says despite medical advances in many countries,severe bleeding after child birth remains a big problem in some parts of the world.“It’s one of the biggest killers of mothers.In Africa and Asia, about10percent of women will end up with severe bleeding.”The drug works by stopping blood clots(血凝块)from breaking down after a mother gives birth. The treatment can prevent the need for doctors to perform surgery to find the source of bleeding.Shakur said the best results were reported when the drug was given to women assoon as possible after childbirth,“The earlier you give it—so within the firstthree hours of giving birth—the better the effect is.”The next step will be to get the drug where it is needed and provide training for doctors and nurses on how to use it.During the trial,women were given the drug in a hospital.But researchers are looking for easier ways to administer the drug so it can be more widely used in small clinics and rural areas.1.Tranexamic acid is a drug that_________.A.should be used for every motherB.helps mothers before giving birthC.ensures most new-born babies’healthD.can help mothers giving birth stop bleeding2.What is the researchers’next plan?A.To know how much the drug is.B.To get permission to use the drug.C.To let more people know the drug.D.To make medical staff know how to use the drug.3.What can we learn from the text?A.The more mothers use the drug,the better its effect is.B.African and Asian countries made great progress in medicine.C.There is a long way to go before the drug can be used more widely.D.Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of women’s death.4.What may be the best title for the text?A.Care for the Health of MothersB.How Can We Use Tranexamic Acid Well?C.Childbirth Drug Greatly Reduces Bleeding DeathsD.What’s the Biggest Killer of Mothers?B篇Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States.It has been regarded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season.Although it’s not an official holiday,millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping.A similar day in Canada and Great Britain is called“Boxing Day”.Black Friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation in recent years.Since 2005,it has been the busiest shopping day of the year.To lure shoppers, retailers(零售商)routinely open their doors as early as4a.m.and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early.Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities.That is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that they’ll be the first in line when the doors open.But why Black Friday?Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s.Bus drivers and police used“Black Friday”to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets the day after Thanksgiving as shoppers headed to the stores.Businesses,however,didn’t like the negative tone associated with the“Black Friday”name.In the early1980s,a more positive explanation of the name began to circulate.According to this alternative explanation,Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year.In accounting terms(会计行业),operating at a loss is called being“in the red”because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts.Positive amounts were usually shown in black ink.Thus,being“in the black”is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.Recently,for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday or who just don’t want to fight the crowds,the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday(网络星期一)for many on line deals.5.On Black Friday,the Americans_______.A.don’t have to go to work as usualB.look exactly like the CanadiansC.are usually busy doing shoppingD.stay at home and relax themselves6.The underlined word“lure”(inParagraph2)probably means“__________”.A.protectB.attractC.persuadeD.remind7How do the retailers understand Black Friday?A.It is totally different from Boxing Day.B.They usually lose some money on the day.C.It never keeps them very busy.D.It probably brings them more money.8.The author writes this passage in order to___________.A.state the development of Cyber MondayB.tell the difference between red and blackC.introduce Black Friday to the readersD.explain the meaning of Boxing DayC篇FLORENCE,Italy—Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt.The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly,but in order to stay she’s had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民)population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits,or in some cases,citizenship.Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs,such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合).Others say it’s only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation,seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher.The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures.Italy,which has a much weaker tradition of immigration,has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years.In1990,immigrants numbered some1.14million out of Italy’s then56.7million people,or about2percent.At the start of this year,foreigners living in Italy amounted to4.56million of a total population of60.6million,or7.5percent,with immigrants’children accounting for an even larger percentage of births in Italy.Cojochru,the Moldovan caregiver,hoped obtaining permanent residence(居住权)would help her bring her two children to Italy;they live with her sister in Moldova,where salaries are among the lowest in Europe.She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.Italians always“see me as a foreigner,”an outsider,even though she’s stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently, she said.9.Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?A.To continue to stay in Italy.B.To teach her children Italian.C.To find a better job in Italy.D.To better mix with the Italians.10.Some people worry that the new language requirement may________.A.reduce Italy’s population quicklyB.cause conflicts among peopleC.lead to financial difficultiesD.put pressure on schools11.What do we know about Cojochru?A.She lives with her sister now in Italy.B.She enjoys learning the Italian language.C.She speaks Italian well enough for her job.D.She wishes to go back to her home country.D篇Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids.According to a new survey(调查)by the National Sleep Foundation,51%of kids aged10to18 go to bed at10pm or later on school nights,even though they have to get up st year the Foundation reported that nearly60%of7-to12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day,and15%said they had fallen asleep at school.How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age.Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about18hours a day!Adults need about eight hours.For mostschool-age children,ten hours is ideal(理想的).But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that35%of10-to12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours.And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV.“More children are going to bed with TVs on,and there are more opportunities(机会)to stay awake,with more homework,the Internet and the phone,”says Dr.Mary Carskadon,a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School.She says these activities at bedtime can zxxk get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep.Other experts say part of the problem is chemical.Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers’bodies develop adult characteristics,but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before11pm.Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers,some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to.Three years ago,schools in Edina,Minnesota,changed the start time from7:25am to8:30 am.Students,parents and teachers are pleased with the results.12.What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?A.American kids’sleeping habits.B.Teenagers’sleep-related diseases.C.Activities to prevent sleeplessness.D.Learning problems and lack of sleep.13.How many hours of sleep do11-year-olds need every day?A.7hours.B.8hours.C.10hours.D.18hours.14.Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon?A.They are affected by certain body chemicals.B.They tend to do things that excite them.C.They follow their parents’examples.D.They don’t need to go to school early.15Schools in Edina,Minnesota started more than an hour late than before, what’are parents”attitude with this change.A angryB satisfiedC sadD amazed二七选五（每题2分）Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries.___16_____In general,they can expect to live six or seven years more than men.One reason for this is biological.One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women.__17____Between the ages of about12and 50,women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力).These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow.In fact,women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.____18____They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men.
